Circuit Judge.
NV Dear Judge

My Dear Judge:
l wrote you officially yesterday and,
in purely formal way, endeavored to
give you the key to the situation. l
am sure that you were mfsled by
Smiths letter, else you would not have
asked me to rescind my rule in regard
to the handling of trust funds. Smith $
letter to your clerk-a copy of which
he states was sent to the other clerks
was written behind my back, evidently
with Chief Justice FrearS approval
and was intended to be, as | firmly be-
lieve, a small and mean criticism of a
judicial act of mine. 1t was designed
to create the impression on the clerks
that l had by some unusual and arbi-
trary rule deprived the chief clerk OF
the power to use moneys, available ano
proper to be used for that purpose, fol
the purpose of paying the running eX-
penses of the courts in the various Cir
cults; whereas in truth and in fac'
| the rule was only intended to conserve
the trust funds belonging in the hands
of the court.
Now that you have so kindly fur
nished me with a copy of Smiths let
ter to Porter, Frear takes the position
! that my rule was correct. The fac
remains, however, that be permitted
his clerk to review and criticize the
rule in question behind my back upor
partial and incomplete statement OF
| the facts.
Whoever heard of clerk of cour
seriously claiming the right to TEN
porarily divert trust funds until the
claim was made by Smith. In wha
other American community would sucf
conduct be tolerated, either by the
courts or by the community?
The truth is that not only have the
| trust funds of this court been useC
by the clerk in the past to carry on th'
operating expenses of the courts in thu
other circuits, but the Judges here II
Honolulu have between pay days
drawn from the office cash. leaving
their due bills in place of the cash 81
withdrawn. This was of course yer!
convenient and very improper. M!
rule prevents the temporary diver
sion" of trust funds in the hands o
the court for any purpose.
am pleased to note that upon, Wha
seems to be, second thought, my rul
commends itself to the approval of tn
Chief Justice, but whether it does o
does not I shall go along just tn
same; neither the Chief Justice nor tn
Chief Clerk of the Judiciary Depart
ment will be permitted to run the Cir
cult Court of the First Circuit as lon
as I am its Presiding Judge. Will

Probably the largest republican caucus eyer held in Newtown to elect delegates to state or county convention was that on Monday night to choose delegates to the May state convention, which In turn is to elect delegates to the Philadelphia national convention. The usual repub- lican turnout of a half dozen or dozen of the party leaders was swelled to about 70. The excitement which brought them out was the essenden-Bulkley-Wa Mclean contest which is cropping out already In these early caucuses, and which apparently ia being carried into every republican caucus in the state. Another feature which added spice to the meeting was the contest by the friends of County Commissioner Miller to control the caucus.
 The caucus was called to order at the Town hall by Town Chairman John B. Wheeler, after which adjournment was made to the Firemen's hall, on account of the Virgilius council entertainment. Daniel G. Beers was chosen chairman, and Capt Albert W. Peck of Mt Pleasant secretary. As soon as organization was effected William Fl. Hoy of Bridgeport, a former resident of the town and an old time republican war horse, asked per mission to address. the caucus, as he said he had been resident of the town for many years and had a message for his friends. This was objected to by the Miller faction, led by Robert s. Tomlin- son, and Chairman Beers put the ques- | tion to the caucus, which gave decisive msj ority In favor of giving MT Hoy 8 hearing. He spoke with all his old-time fire and energy, and said he had nothing against his friend, Miller, but he wanted to know how he stood as regards Fessen- den. Several others got into the arena before he had finished, and there was some lively talking. Finally a division of the house was called for. Sheriff Rodgers nominated Arthur T. Nettleton, a Fessenden man, for first delegate, and l the Miller faction named W. M. Reynolds In opposition. A ballot was called for and Harry Orgeiman and c. B. Johnson were named as tellers. The vote stood 39 for Nettleton and 22 for Reynolds. The other delegates, Fessenden men, were named by exclamation, as follows: Ali. )n P. Smith, Henry c. Curtis and s. F. Tllson. John B. Wheeler and Josiah A. Tlson were reelected as town commit tee.

THE USE AND ABUSE or THE SHEDS.

THE USE AND ABUSE OF THE SHEDS.
 The use and abuse of the church horse sheds came up in this meeting, and it was agreed without any special action, that while the sheds are owned by individuals, they are on the parish lands, and were intended for private use, and for church purposes, primarily. Of the public hos pitality of the owners, and of the parish, as to temporary shelter and convenience, in the use of these sheds, no one need have the least doubt. To such custom. ary use all are welcome. There is no word of fault for those who have per mission of owners for special use, either {; though it is 8 question whether the sheds should in any case be let for daily occu- pancy. But when peddlers abuse them as cheap places for batting, or any one makes 8 business of continuous hitching and standing, week after week, year af- ter year, to the inconvenience and annoy ance'of the owners, and the expense of the parish, a gentle protest seems to be in order. To the wise word Is suffi- cient; for the otherwise, notice will be posted.

Large Surplus Revenues for the Fis al

Large Surplus Revenues for the Fis al
Year Ending June 80, 1900.
It is gratifying to be able to state
that the surplus revenues for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1900, were S19,-
527, ,060.1S For the six preceding
years we had only deficits, the ag-
gregate of which from 1894 to- lSe9 in
elusive amounted to $2S3, ,022, ,99l.1 II. The
!. receipts for the year from AL sources,
exclusive of postal revenues, aggregated
1857, ,240,S ,S51.S9,; and expenditures for all
purposes, except for the administration
OF the postal department, aggregated
$4S7, ,71S, 1911. The receipts from. css-
toms were S233 ,164, ,S7116,. an increase
over the preceding year of 27,036, 3S9. Al.
The receipts from internal revenue were
$295, ,327 1926. 76, an increase of .$21, $780, :
1925 over 1899: The receipts from n mis- is:
cellaneous sources We're s3S: 74S, ,o5397,
as against s3s; 1874 1852 for the previ-
Gus year.
1t is gratifying to note that during
the year a considerable reduction is
shown in the expenditures of the gov
eminent. The war department .ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1900 were
4S6.69. over those of 1889. In the navy
department the expenditures were $55,-
953, ,077.72 for the year 1900. as against
$63,942 4.25 for the preceding year. a
decrease of $7,9S9,026.53 In the ex-
penditures on account of Indians there
hvas a decrease in 1900 over 1899 of 81
630,604.3S and in the civil and miscel-
laneous expenses for 1900 there was a
reduction of $13, AIS, ,065.74.
It will be the duty as 1 am sure it
will be the disposition Of the congress
to provide whatever further legisla-
ton is needed to insure the continued
parity under all conditions between our
two forms of metallic money, silver and
gold. A. Z
