NO PIECE CLUB POLITICS

The proposal to turn the Independent
party into a piece club, calling II the
Liberal party" is seriously made by
one of its leaders. This engaging per-
son points out that the Independents
could make more" by being in posi-
ton to accept bids from either side.
'How many offices am l offered? Gem
tlemen, speak up!" is the auctioneer-
ing idea; Come, come, / am waiting.
What do hear? Half-and-half divi-
sion? Do get any better offer? Only
fifty per cent of rewards Is small pay
for sure thing In the election. Do l
hear another bid? Going-going-gone
at fifty per cent?" In the opinion OF
an independent prophet this Is the kind
of politics all Hawaiian voters ought
to cultivate.
Spoils forever! That Is the whole
idea but 1t would everlastingly dis
grace either the Republican or Demo-
cratic party to make a deal on such a
basis. Besides If 1t did there Ii not u
particle OF assurance, that the native
Hawaiians would gain anything by 1t.
The white Purchasers are after prizes
for themselves, not for the Hawaiians.
They are quite willing to run up an
account but they are mindful of the
tricks to evade payment And we do
not doubt that the independents, in the
final analysis. would be quite as .ndif-
ferent to their obligations to the haole.
Piece club compacts are like ropes of
sand. and in any event they are dis
graceful in principle and dishonest in
practice.
X the Republican party is wisely led
II will not go into office broking at the
probable expense of good government.
The taxpayers OF Hawaii will not per-
init their interests to be sacrificed for
the sake of spoils for anybody. People
who think differently have never seen
those taxpayers in action or else they
have been led to think that taxpaying
claws are cut.

A. 20 HOSPITALS.

IL would be good thing for this
community IL a way were found to get
rid OF the present site and structures
Of the Queens hospital and put up n
new and modern plant on higher
ground. The present buildings at Bere-
tania and Punchbowl streets are out OF
date and are go situated that their pa
tents set all there is OF the hot
where breezes play and where there is
less darhpness of shade is needed to
meet the urgent demands of sanitary
science.
The Advertiser at this moment is not
informed of the terms by which the
Queens hospital holds its present site
but assumes that the trustees could
make change II they found 1t advan-
tageous to do so. They must realize
the defects of the existing structures
as does every one who compares them
with modern hospital establishments.
After looking over the French hospital
at San Francisco one must take n
rather doleiul view of even weeks
residence in the Honolulu makeshift.
This city is to have a hospital for in
curables and the next thing should be
an adequate one for patients who are
not beyond relief. There could be no
nobler use of money; no surer tesla
mentary monument. Who will be the
philanthrupist to lead the way for
new Queens hospital; or II the present
nne cannot lawfully be superseded, for
a separate establishment that will
meet the advanced requirements of the
day7

JUDGE HUMPHREYS.

| II is a we'll known fact that Abran
| s. Humphreys did not have the support
OF the Advertiser in attaining the posi-
ton of Circuit Judge. His knowledge
and ability as a lawyer were and are
conceded, but regardless Of other quail
ifications or disqualifications his dis
erection and judicial temperament were
doubted At the same time once APP
pointed, this paper was willing to give
the gentleman due credit for all there
was in him which time and events
might bring forth.
Judge Humphreys has now presided
on the bench for a few days. This Is
new magistrates work or capability,
but the large share of public thought
and conversation stimulated by Judge
Humphreys during the past week has
caused some conclusions to be reached.
To his credit be it said that he is
prompt and industrious, but in all
friendliness the Advertiser Is bound to
say that the Judge has neither added
to his own reputation nor TO the dig
nifty of the bench by his official con-
duct. The adventures of Attorney
Davis and eX-Editor Marshall have
heretofore afforded the town a mild
tonic from time to time and prevented
mildew from gathering on the repor-
torial desks, but Judge Humphreys has
eclipsed these lesser lights by furnish
ing sensations In such numerous and
varied forms as to leave little room for
competition.
Sensationalism Is In Its proper place
on the melodramatic stage, where 1t
can be bought and paid for by those
who want it, In the public press il can
be avoided by those who do not like
su'h Hi 80, hy letting the paper alone
which INDUCES in it. Sensationallsm Is
wholly out OF place on the bench and is
offensive to the many citizens who are
compelled to come in contact with II.
Judge Humphreys ex parte attacks
on the High Sheriff and on DR.. Her
bert, under cover of charge to the
grand jury, are unjust to those gentle
men and not calculated to increase
public respect for the bench.
His arbitrary treatment of suitors by
Diminishing their cases entirely because
the attorneys were not on hand Mt the
drop OF the hat is not justice but the
height of injustice.
Furnishing sensations, marrying at
torneys, filming court attendants for
contempt, and ignoring long establish
ed rules of procedure. have not hereto
fore been found necessary to the or
derby progress of justice in Hawaii. nor
is 1t what Judge Humphreys is being
paid for.
With his ability and education Judge
Humphreys has 1t entirely within his
power to carve out what record he win
for HIMSELF but II the record is to be
that Of wise and successful magis-
trate. 1t must be wrought with patience,
dignity and due regard for the rights
and feelings of others.

THE ELECTORAL BASIS.

In commenting upon the municipal
issue an evening paper said that city
government could be made an admin
istrative success by the right kind of
voters. Given sound and vigilant
electorate, an honest and useful sys-
tenn of home rule would follow. The
theory Is not to be disputed though II
fails to reach the important question
OF cost. Undoubtedly. good men elect
ing good officials would secure good
government-that Is Il mere truism
which goes without the saying.
But condition, not theory, meets
US here in Honolulu. The American
and white naturalized electorate is
very small and the majority OF its ac-
tive politicians, led by the carpet bag
ger Sewall, are after spoils. OF the old,
conservative class which steadied
things in 1898 we can no longer count
upon many Germans and Englishmen
because they are not going to become
American citizens. What is left OF the
conservatives who are qualified to vote
make. IL rs true, very large majority
of the Anglo-saxon electorate here but
a weak minority of the whole voting
class. The Latin element which can
years TO come is small and its convic-
lions about good government as dis
tlnguished from spoils government
may only be surmised. The power Just
now lives in the aboriginal vote and
this vote. II wrongly advised and led.
ID capable of doing enormous mischief
to the taxpayers.
In view OF the actual conditions, IL Is
mere clap-trap to talk about a munic-
ipal system OF Honolulu finding safe
basis IN the Jealous regard for good
government which Is typical OF an adj
vanced American community. This Is
only technically an American COM
