rHEFLAG AND THE CONSTITUTION
Federal Judge Decides the Latter oes
Not Follow the Former

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Honolulu, October %, via San Fran
cisco, November 2.-United States Dis
trict Judge Este has rendered a deci-
sion to the effect hat the constitution
does not follow the flag. in n impor-
Itant libel case hat has been before
the courts here for some time. Will
liam H. Marshall was sentenced to six
months Imprisonment for criminal libel
on account of publications he made
about the late Chief Justice Judd. He
made an appeal to the supreme court
of Hawaii based upon technical
grounds alleging that the methods pur-
sued during his trial were not in ac-
cordance with American procedure.
The lower court was sustained and
Marshall returned to Judge Este with
a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Este
held that the laws of Hawaii allowing
conviction of defendants upon a verdict
by nine jurors were still in force at the
time of MarShaH'S trial, which was
long after the passage of the resolu-
ton annexing Hawaii to the union.
The judge said that Hawaii, before be-
ing annexed, was a free. enlightened
state, possessing all the attributes of
Sovereignty, and when the islands were
annexed by the United States, not only
the lands, but the people with their
flaws and customs, were annexed and by
the we'll established law of nations
these laws and customs remained in
force until new laws were enacted for
the government of the territory.

Isional candidate to elect and it is i'm
lportant that every vote be polled- The

what a day may bring forth. In the
Second district it is desired that Claude

The New Department Store

The new department store OF the
Mercer & Evan Company, incorpora-
ted, is now in full blast. The estab-
lishment successds to the firm and shoe
business of Messrs Mercer & Evans
which was established in 1872.
The corporation is headed by Mr.. ].
B. Mercer, as president and treasurer,
and Mr. S. S. Drew is the secretary.
Mr.. Mercer made a fine success of the
business under the former firm name,
and he is to be congratulated upon it's
growth into it's present proportions.
Inc department store occupies the
three-story building at Nos. lis and III
Princess street, and both stores and
all three stories are utilized in carrying
the stock of the different departments.
The former business having been ex-
clusively in shoes, that department is
a special feature now. The other de-
partments, however, embrace a full
line of dry goods, dress goods. notions,
gents furnishing goods, clothing, car
pets, mattings, hardware, c~rockery,
tinware, sewing machines and bicycles.
The first and second stories contain
the departments and the third story is
used for the wholesale and duplicate
stock.
The new company has adopted the
strictly cas policy, and consequently
has done away with the expense Of a
bookkeeper and books, giving their
customers the benefit of it. Special re-
auctions in prices in all departments
are offered now so that this is a good
time to visit the new store.
We have heretofore mentioned the
vast improvement of the store rooms,
and it is only necessary to say now
that the r~emodeling of the building
gives the company $500 feet of floor
space.A AS business is both Wholesale
and retail, the force employed has been
increased. Mr.. S. S. Drew is the head
salesman and the others in the estab-
lishment are Misses Lula Pickett,
Louise Haskell, lately of Southport,
and Messrs. J.. w. White, B.. B. Jack
son, and Luther Sneeden.

New York, November 2.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
U~nseasonably warn weather con-
tinues the leading directly unfayorable
feature Of distributive trade, because of
the check being given to retail distribu-
ton and, therefore. to recorder business
In most Ines of dry goods, wearing
apparel and shoes Conservatism. In
view Of the near approach of the presf-
GENITAL election. Is undoubtedly an ele-
ment exercising considerable influence.
particularly in stock speculation: but
a conspicuous exception TO this Is found
In the re-awakening of demand and
the advances in prices shown in the
Iron trade in widely separated sections
This is really one Of the most import
ant developments OF the week and Is
taken as indicating not only that conf
dence in election results Is felt. but that
consumers stocks are down to a mini
mum.
Speculation on the various excba,eez
has ruled rather show. In wheat the
moving feature has been the reiteraffon
OF stories Of Argentine crop damage
which was instrumental in Inducing
some advance, much OF which was logf
later In cotton s%- of frost damage
mas been the moving factor, and here.
also, some advance has been scored
from the low point reached last week
Leading authorities iook for an active
demand for the larger part of the
years American crop, and predictions
that 100000 bales are absolutely
needed are mad Farmers are slow tn
follow the price downward and are re-
ported holding fer better prices.
The export demand for cotton in an
parenEly diminished. and this week
witness h heaviest single days ex-
ports from New OrkanE ever recorded.
Nine month "a returns show a gain
In manufactured goods exported of p
per cenE over a year ago, while the in
Grease in agricultural products was
only 9L5 Per cent, this latter increase
being entirely due to higher prices OF
cotton as compared with last year. The
outlook Is for An aggregate export of
manufactured goods this year of at
least $44O, 0O0. 600, a total never herepo-
fore approached A curious feature In
that most OF the increase In import
trade for the nine months is In pro-
ducts designed to be used by American
manufacturers, 50 that the anomaly
Is presented of American manufac-
turers being h largest importers of
foreign products.
