CURRENT COMMENT.
CAMPAIGNING BY INJUNCTION.
(Chicago News.)


Latest wrinkle in campaign tactics is
the trick OF obtaining injunctions forbid
ding tho other fellow from making
speeches, holding meetings or soliciting
funds to advance his candidacy, this
scheme being now on trial IN the Goth
ward of this city. The idea, OF course,
is unique and original, and, while it may
at first glance seem unjust and one-sided,
may possibly become one of the few real
blessings of political struggles Injunc-
tions can be obtained by either party to
Il case; If one politician enjOins another,
the enjoined one, naturally, will seek
the same kind OF legal action. With all
the can6 idates enjoined from making
speeches or hold ing meetings the people
could attend to their daily business and
enjoy their nightly sleep IN peace and
quiet, the election could come off on
scheduled time with just as many voters
and government by injunction, - so far
as politics might be concerned, would be
hailed with applause and appreciation

There ara still persons, said to be ex-
perts, too, who hold that all the de-
spatches purporting to come from Mr..
Conger at Pekin, are forgeries, concocted
by the ingenious Chinese. One of those
experts has bean calling attention to the
difficulty of having and keeping within
the British legation food for eight hum
dred or more people for nearly two
months in the hot summer months, and
of the improbability of carloads Of food
being sent to them by the empress, into
the compound-without the Boxers or
troops using the opportunity to enter
with the carts while the gates were
opened, Then it is pointed out that
the idea of allowing safe escort for three
thousand native Christians is childish in
the extreme-only Chinaman could in
vent such story. There can be no cues
ton that there are a good many points
that need xpianation-0ne OF them the
habitual omissionfrom Mr.. Conger's des-
patches of.any date. But if the dispatches
were forgeries it is exceedingly improb-
able that the officials of the State Depart
ment who must know more about them
than anybody else. should entertain no
suspicion in regard to them.

The Chinese government can have no
just ground of complaint against the gov
eminent of this country, though it may
have some against some Of the European
governments. Our State Department. has
treated it with great consideration ever
since the trouble broke out, and before
that we had given not the slightest
cause for believing that we had any de-
signs upon It's territory. On the con-
tracy we had furnished it the strongest
assurances that we were entirely out OF
sympathy with the schemes of partition
which had been preached by some of the
European states. Our whole purpose
since the Boxer movement broke out
has been to secure the protection of our
own citizens in China and PREPARATION for
injuries done them, and we have repeat
eddy assured the Chinese government
that when those ends was attained we
were done. Sour soldiers are not in the
empire to make war upon It's people, but
merely to rescue our own.

The sporting fraternity interested
in the annual races at the Kapiolani
track is feeling anxious because no
attempt is being made to have the
track put in order. There are only
two months before the 11th of June
races will take place, and yet the
track is in an unfit condition to
work the horses. Ii there is no sur
plus in the treasury let the secretary
collect stall rents, etc, and go ahead
with the work or let him do it on
credit; the Club will foot the neces-
sary bills. Owners Of running horses
envy the Waikapu Stables, which
enjoy track OF their own and on
which the horses can complete their
training until a week before their
meeting here, but Honolulu men
want the same advantage and want
the Jockey Club to wake up and do
the right thing without further de.
lay.

Mr.. Kitcat's Resignation.

| Cathedral that Mr. vincent ID, Kit
cat, the vice dean and parish priest
had rendered his resignation to the
Bishop of Honolulu. The resigna-
tion was presented in February but
at the time no reason for such an
action was given to the congrega-
| tion.i
The following self. explanatory
letters appear 10 the last number of
the Diocesan Magazine:
S., Andrews Cathedral,
Honolulu, Feb. Is, 1900.
My Lord: The political changes
that have taken place in these ISL
ands seem to be carrying with them
modification of social conditions
that in turn point to the advisability
of the clergy OF the church consider
ing the positions they now occupy.
Hitherto the church in Hawaii has
been closely identified with the
mother church OF England. In the
fu'ure she will have to look to the
church in America. No doubt much
might be urged in favor of the pres.
ent clergy continuing in Office for
some time to come, yet on the other
hand the preponderancs of view
seems to me to point 10 the wisdom
of the clergy placing at your dis
posal the Offices they hold that you
may be free to make such changes
as you feel the present conditions
impose. For this purpose I beg to
tender you my resignation of the
offices oI Wee Dean of the catbedra!
and parish priest TO take effect on
June 30 OF this year. I name date
to give point and decision to the
resignation, but il it is agreeable to
you | should like to allow latitude
on this point 30 that arrangements
for the future on either side may be
the more easily made. l have no
doubt an arrangement satisfactory
to all concerned might be arrived at
without difficulty.
In handing to you this my resigna.
ton l should like to speak of the
happiness of the ministry which 1
have hitherto exercised under your
governmental happiness l am
hardly likely to share to SO great
degrees in the future.
I remain. my Lord,
Your faithfully,
VINCENT Fl. KIrcAr.
To the r.. Rev The Bishop of Ho-
nolulu, Iolani College.
The Bishops reply was as follows:
Honolulu, Feb 16, 1900.
My Dear Canon Kitcat: After the
faithful service you have rendered
for many years to this Diocese in a
very difficult and trying per iod of |
its history, l should under ordinary
circumstances be most unwilling
that you should resign unless some
good appointment had been offered
you in the colonies. But in view
OF the new situation that has arisen
can offer no objection to the course
that commends itself to you, and
therefore accept your resignation to
lake effect on June 80, with all the
latitude that you dasire.
l shall always entertain grateful
recollections of the years you have
oeen associated with me in laying and
maintaining foundations the value
'f which will be recognized in time
% come, however little the present
generation may appreciate them.
You may rely on me to do all in my
power to obtain for you hearty
in whatever diocese your
ervices may be desired.
Believe me,
Most sincerely yours,
ALFRED Honolulu.

Judge Wilcox and the Marshal
are determined to put stop to the
evil habit Of persons carrying con.
cealed weapons in this city. The
officials deserve great credit for the
stand taken by them in the matter
even if the sentences imposed are ap.
parently stern. A half-druuken
man staggering around the streets
after midnight with revolver in
his pocket is menace to the COM
munity and should he put where he
cannot do any harm. None of the
men offer aoy excuse for carrying
weapons but simply say that they
always do it. The Judge said very
correctly that man with loaded
revolver in his pocket will, after i'm.
bibing, feel peculiar itching in his
hand and his hip and in the revolv.
er. He wants TO scratch the hin
and revolver and the trouble starts
right there. 1t is bad record for
the community that stabbing cases
are daily occurring and men arrest
cd for carrying the tools with which
the deadly work is done The police
is on the alert, however, and the
evildoers of that class can expect no
mercy iu the Court.

Gen. Francis v. Greene's story Of
the queer bet made by officers at Get
tysbnrg recalls other strange wagers.
Harmon, at the Stanwix hotel, in De-
troit, several years ago, bet he could
hold his head submerged in q bathtub
for LIS seconds without taking air. He
won.
In Philadelphia some years ago a
gentleman made a wager Of 800 that
he could jump into water eight feet
deep and undress himself complete.
Any one who has ever made the at
tempt to remove his clothing after be-
ing thoroughly drenched to the skin,
even when standing On terra flrma,
with plenty of room to "hop around
on one leg" will at once realize the
dificulty Of accomplishing the feat
while in the water. However, 1t wal
done in the instance noted. A chap
named Curtis in Berkshire county,
Massachusetts, for a wager Of a horse,
ran five miles in forty-one minutes,
and wound up the race with a jump Of
eleven feet six inches. An English
man named Head won 5000 by walk
Ing 600 miles In ten days, but the ex-
ertion 30 used him up that he never
walked much a%fterward, either on
wagers or otherwise.-New York Tele-

The craze for Kruger coins and
stamps has been 80 pronounced that a
complete set is not now to be had in
the regular market. A $1.25 piece is
rated at $3.50, and what is known az
an extraordinary" crown at $50. This
is because in 1892 the die makers gave
the bullock-wagon shafts, instead Of q
Dole Cor disselboom.) All coins from
half-sovereigns downward were SO
struck, and got into circulation before
the error was discovered. Any n Of
these coins fetches more than IS.
There is likely. by the way. to be a
