The Japanese barber. in whose crib

! The Territorial Legislature will have
no Ministry to bait. The Governor
will think he is earning his salary by
the time he has had a week of ans
wering IF not why not"
What could the Supreme Court do?
If 1t had decided that itself was not
| legally constituted, its decision would
not have been legal. Then no man
could say it was illegally constituted.
| Wherefore and whereby all good men
and true will rejoice to see 1t doing
business at the old STAND. Without
court of last resort what would become
of the lawyers? And without the law
yels where would the clients get off?
And without the clients where would
be the country? And without the
country what would there be TO quar-
antine?
A rap over the knuckles with billy
is the time-houn.,d police method of
controlling a refractory man under ar
rest in cities abroad. Pummeling Is
raw business.
In any controversy over the obstruc-
ton of thoroughfares, comparisons be-
tween Honolulu and San Francisco are
ridiculous. The latter has some side
walks wide enough for two couples to
pass each other without extraordinary
evolutions to avoid collision. Also
streets clean enough for the feet of
saints as well as sinners to stand or
walk upon.
Corner gatherings are often compos-
ed Of very decent people, who after
long hours of toll are finding con-
genial intercourse with their fellows.
So long as they strictly abstain from
annoying or obstruc.lng passers-by,
they need not be disturbed. Noisy
groups should be given no quarter.
Loafing in front of rCs0rts-good, bad
and indiffero thought TO be suppress
ed. Congregations listening to preach
err or politician, quack medicine vendor
or any other street orator, must BE-
regulated so that chey do not block
the way of the little girl whose nanny
has sent her in a marry to the drug
store. This means clubbing or arrest
ing nobody whose nina at the time
is in CONDITION of m3dtatlng upon, or
receiving the benefits CT, preached
grace. The kicker ar wholesome hut
man law disqualifies himself from be-
ing a candidate for admission to the
kingdom of heaven.
l. dreamed the other night that the
once mercenary owners Of Fort street
| frontages had capitulated to public
spirit, and had given up the land to
widen that thoroughfaie for the con-
sideration solely of bsttorments. And
when | awoke there WAS a great pain
in my mind from its eNertion in grasp
ing, even in sleep, such an outrageous
fancy.
Hackmen may rest easy under the
threatened abolition Of their street
stands. They will have the same right
as drivers Of private carriages to inc
up their rigs on both sides Of Folt
street. This practice is not, accE.d-
ing to appearances. considered by the
authorities an obstruction Of public
thoroughiares. Should conditions ill.,
duce the public to abandon the pre- sent
ly fashionable shopping street, the
.hackmen equal tights under the
American constitution will empower
them to follow whitheTs0ever the gay
equipagos OF society may lead.
