Blue Outlook for Democracy.
tFrom the Baltimore Sun Qnd.)

tFrom the Baltimore Sun Qnd.).
Foi the second time in four years
William ]. Bryan of Nebraska has been
chosen as the standard bearer of the
national Democracy. The convention
at Kansas City yesterday adopted a
platform and nominated him as the
candidate OF the Democratic party for
the highest honor within the gift of the
people. The platform is admirable In
its anti-imperial and antitrust decla
raticns, but sadly, perhaps fatally, de-
fective in its advocacy of free silver
coinage at 16 to l. II Mr.. Bryan is de-
feated in November he will be held re-
sronsible for the disaster to his party.
A few months ago the outlook for
Democratic success in the Presidential
contest this year was most encourag-
ing. Candor compels the admission
that the overthrow of McKinleyism and
Hannaism is less probable now than it
was before the Kansas City platform
was adopted.

A DANGEROUS POWER.

One Of the most important articles
o. legislation TO come before the first
Legislature is the passage OF Law pro-
yiding a system for drawing jurors,
both petit and grand In face OF the
fact that the old jury Law was repealed
by Congress It became incumbent upon
the Circuit Court OF the First Judicial
District TO order q yenire summoned
by the High Sheriff OF the Territory
The summoning OF the grand jury un-
der this order is the most important
act tc the people of Honolulu that has
taken place since the Territorial gov
eminent was established
In the absence OF any further au-
thtIity, the High Sheriff could sum-
non whomsoever he pleased, so long
as the people summoned filed the re-
quiTements for eligible jurors. The
fact that no natives Of the Territory are
represented on the grand jury has
caused much hseomplaint Whether or
not this complaint is justified, the fact
remains that the High Sheriff, in hav-
ing the absolute selection OF the grand
jury is clothed with power that every
State carefully guards against being
thrown into the hands OF one man.
The old law of Hawaii provided that
petit juries should be drawn by the
Clerk Of the Judiciary in the Island of
Oahu in the presence of Justice OF
the Supreme Court, Judge OF the Cir
Gait Court, or the Governor of the ISL
and, from lists furnished by the Gov
ernoi in March and September of each
year. Since the whole jury system was
changed by Congress, in the Organic
Act, 1t is a question If this provision
was not repealed, as it is bound up
with the provisions for juries of Ha-
waiians and juries Of foreigners which
were specifically repealed by the Or
ganic Act. Under these circumstances
there was but one way open TO the
court to secure grand or petit jury,
and that was to order special venire
summoned by the High Sheriff.
but the duties of the High Sheriff
do not end here, and this makes it all
the more important for the Legisla-
ture to give this matter the earliest
possible attention. 1t might so happen
that the grand jury would want to in
vestigate some OF the reports concern
ing the Police Department and the con-
duct Of the High Sheriff's Office. Not
only has this officer selected the jurors,
but he is the one to summon the wit
nesses demanded by the grand jury to
be brought before it. How easy for the
officer to throw obstacles in the way
OF the grand jury investigating his
department should matters grow warm,
and how easy for the police to init
mate to people likely to be summoned
as witnesses that it would be well for
them to get out OF town for awhile. We |
don't say that such thing will occur, |
or is likely to occur. but such things |
did occur in New York during the Lex
ow investigation. and they might be re-
peated here.
Ii is placing a power in the hands |
Of one man that is dangerous to the
and the first business of
the Legislature should be to prepare
q Law for the drawing and empannel-
ling OF both grand and petit juries
that would forever preclude the
of one man being clothed
with such power as now rests in the
hands of the High Sheriff of the Ter
ritory.

AN OLD FAMILY.

The Van HORNS are an old family,
proud Of their descent, and as jealous
of their honor as any royal line of Eu-
rope Many of the name are to be
found in the Netherlands. They look
back with reverence on their famous
ancestor Count Hoorn, who, as we'll as
Count Egmont, was one of the most re-
nowned victims of the despotism of
Philip II of Spain. The name Van
Hoorn was afterwards changed to Van
Heurn and the descendants of the old
family bear this name today. Perhaps
the best known of the modern race is
the gallant Major Van Heurn, who
only the other day retired from active
service. For many years he served with
the army in the East Indies, and dis
tinguished himself in the Atjeh war.
Wherever the greatest danger was to be
found Major Van Heurn was to be
seen. The natives thought he bore a
charmed life and feard him accord
ingly.
