The bribery cases against ex-Select
Councilman Horatio T. Fellows and f..
j. Maloney, superintendent of the Cen
tral Pennsylvania Telephone and Sup
ply company, will not be heard at this
term of court. Assistant District At
torney Thomas, exercising his pre-
rogative of continuing a case, per-
emptorily, at least once, put both
trials over to the next session, which
begins on the first Monday in June.
Attorneys joseph O'Brien, John r.
Scragg and NJ. A. Mckinley, counsel
for Mr.. Fellows, protested against the
continuance, saying they were in court
with their witnesses at great *
pense and inconvenience. ready and
anxious to meet the commonwealth S
charge, and that it would be imposing
a great hardship on them to put Their.
off without trial
Mr.. Thomas replied that or account
of the district attorneys illEcss, the
commonwealth was not prepared to go
on, and he would have to insist on the
continuance. Judge Archibald ruled
that it was the district attorneys $
privilege to continue case once, at
least, without assigning a reason, and
as Mr. Thomas insisted on the con-
tinuance it would have to be granted
Thereupon the clerk was instructed 10
mark the cases continued.
Mr.. Malonev was not present to re-
spond to his name when his case was
called, and inquiry from the bench re-
vealed the fact that he has not as yet
given bail. The sheriff sent word to

and of the issuance of a capias for his
arrest but nothing has been heard
from the notification.

work." but it may be they do not care
to pound stone on country roads. And
if they did who is to pay them for it?
VIII the Government, after meeting the
pestilence bills, be able to take thous-
ands of coolies on the payroll? If we
call on the plantations we shall still
have to persuade the coolies to go there
and the plantations show no signs of
wanting free Asiatic labor anyhow.
The whole subject is perplexing and
dangerous. Troops and ships cannot
settle it but the moral effect of their
presence would be such, We think, as
to enable the white people of Homo
lulu to work out a solution without
loss of property or life.

selves the most odious position that
any corporate body of citizens ever oc-
cupied in this community.

BISHOP ESTATE AGAIN.

Whenever the Advertiser does it's
duty to the public by pointing out that
the Bishop Estate is the worst Offend
er Honolulu has in the matter of
shacks and cesspools a reply appears
in the columns of the Independent. AS
this reply always bears marks of con-
sultation between trustees and editor,
we have come to regard it as official,
and shall, in default of information to
the contrary, deal with the current
one as the best the Bishop Estate can
afford.
The tack of the trustees is to say
that the assault" of the Advertiser is
due to some personal animus. Candid
ly, we know of none. OF late we have
had reason to commend several trus-
tees in their other capacities. If any
one of them does the public a good
turn today he will not fail of recog-
milton in the Advertiser tomorrow.
Were our policy personal the men to
whose corporate greed this city owes
so many of the horrors of the plague
would surely not have to look in vain
through these columns to find their
names blacklisted. But since a sense
of duty compelled us to attack the
management of the Estate the Adver4
tiser has never told the public who the
trustees are. 1t is content to be i'm
personal and hopes that it will not
feel compelled by the failure of the
Estate to fix up its insanitary proper
ties, to be otherwise.
Another tack taken by the trustees
appears in the published innuendo
that the Estate could escape criticism
by paying for it. The Advertiser
wishes the Estate would make public
any grounds it may have for that
opinion. If it has secured the con-
senting silence and the asserting aid
of the Independent in that way we
cannot praise its judgment, for the
lonly newspaper on earth which is
worth buying is the one that cannot
be bought. But whatever the bargain
may be with the Independent, we think
we can assure the trustees that there
are journals in Hawaii, the Advertiser
among them, whose opinions all the
money they wiring from the poor and
take as blood-toll from the suffering
inmates of their shacks and novels
could not begin to purchase.
In summoning the Bishop Estate to
the bar of public judgment-whithe1
it cannot possibly come with clean
hands--the Advertiser takes pride in
the fact that it has chosen the mos
powerful and conspicuous culpri
among all the constituencies landlords
of the town. This paper might have
aimed at some less shining mark. L
might have begun with the single own
ers and the feebler estates; it Nigh
! have set up some man of straw TO top
pie over with a mere twist of the pen
There would have been some advan
tages in that, but the act would hav,
