Governor Dole would make an
irreparable mistake il he should call
an extra session of the old Legisla-
ture. The men composing that
body do not represent the taxpay-
ers and the money it would cost to
have them meet can be spent to far
better advantage to the people.
There are very important matters
to be disposed Of, we are aware, but
we think that it would be better
policy to call the new Legislature in
extra session, and let everything
connected with the defunct Hawai-
ian Republic be shelved for good.
The fire claims ought to be adjust
ed; the political claims of 1895
should be paid, and ways and means
found to raise sufficient money to
carry ON the government and pay
the Road Supervisor to fix that Wal
kiki road between the Campbells
and the Doles.

The main issue at the coming
territorial election is to select men,
who, irrespective Of their partisan
ship in national politics, are men
who have the local interests OF the
territory at heart. The alleged pro-
position OF Kaulia to elect only Ha.
waiians OF his class is hardly worthy
OF notice. Some Hawaiians may be
induced to listen to him especially
when he poses as the envoy Of
Qusen Liliuokalani. The news from
Hawaii to-day are highly encourag-
ing to good government people.
When for senator's the Indepen.
dents mention men like Palmer p
Woods, Julian Monsarrst, A. B.
Loebenstein aud G.. X. Wilder, we
realize that the anarchistic speeches
OF the disavowed Kaulia will have
no effect on the sound minds OF the
voters of Hawaii. Equally good
news have been received from Maui
and Kauai, aud as far as -Oahu is
concerned we guess there will be no
pilikia even il Curtis Iaukea does
run bakers; dozsn OF officials at
Waialua. A liberal aud intelligent
Legislature is what we want. We
will vote for men who have no.
financial strings attached to them,
and men who place the interest of
the territory higher than that OF
the narrow-minded family compact.

TEE PRIVILEGES OF THE PRESS.

This morning at the opening OF
the Circuit Court, Mr.. Andrews,
representing Barney, whose trial for
murder is in progress, called the
attention OF Judge Silliman to the
report Of the proceedings as pub
lished in the Advertiser this morn
ing; saying that while he did not
believe in interfering with the liberty
of the press nor their right to pub
lish correct report of proceedings
in case on trial, yet in view of the
fact that this was an extraordinary
case, because the jury had been
allowed to separate, he deemed it
his duty to ask that the papers
should be warned not to publish
comments on the case during the
trial.

Judge Sillimau said that he did
not believe in muzzling the press
and as the reporters OF the two
morning papers we're present he
thought that they would take notice
of the request of counsel, but as the
evening papers were not represented
he would have the clerk communi-
cate with their proprietors and
request them TO refrain from CON-
ment on the case until after its con-
clusion.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-08-31

He also stated that he had been
informed that it had been the prac.
tice for the Courts here to, in some
cases, even censure the press for such
comments, and after consulting with
Mr.. Hatch, Mr.. Cecil Brown, Mr..
Creighton, and Mr.. McClanahan
found that such had been the
practice.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-08-31

Attorney General Dole believed in
the full liberty OF the press and its
rights to comment on cases after
they had been finished but concur
red with Mr.. Andrews in thinking
that it was improper for a newspaper
to comment on case whils the
same was in progress OF trial.

We now expect the orators OF the
Republican party to howl for the
prosperity OF the territory since Nc
Kinley annexed us. The raise in

In reference to this matter THE
INDEPENDENT would say that the
principles OF English speaking races
aud Northmen of all countries, is
the love of fair play even to the
vilest criminal. To comment upon
a case where a man is on trial, per-
haps for his life, and to comment
adversely is unfair and improper.
There are occasionally upon juries
men of undecided temperaments
and constitutions who are affected
by the expressions OF the public
press.

We are OF the impression that if
the comments OF the Advertiser had
been brought before the notice Of
judges elsewhere that stronger
rebuke would have been delivered
than Judge Silman's.

POLICIES NOT TAXED.
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Makes a Statement Concerning In
surance Policies.

WASHINGTON. Sept. e.-The COM
missioner of internal revenue some days
ago received a letter from a representa-
tive Of the National Fraternal Congress,
then in session at Boston. inQuiring
whether or not any decision affecting
the taxation Of policies or certificates
issued by fraternal insurance societies
had been issued during August last.
Since then a large number of inquiries
have been received to the same effect
from all parts Of the country. To these
inquiries the commissioner has re-
piled as follows:
mo ruling has been made during
August or recently by this office affect
ing the taxation of policies or certifi-
Gates of life insurance issued by frater-
nal or beneficiary societies, such as the
Ancient Order Of United Workman and
kindred organizations.
This Office has always ruled that
such organizations were exempt under
the law and does not contemplate i'm
posing any taxation on their policies
or certificates"

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-09-07

the Porcupine district. Alaska, have
received from Secretary OF State Hay
iteassuraace that this government
foregoes no part OF its right and power
to protect it's citizens In the Porcuplne
Creek region, whether they be tempo
rarily within American or British juris-
diction. In the full enjoyment Of all
rights and privileges which they had
before the modus vivendi was conelud-
ed, and to see that their freedom OF
access and exit with their goods is not
unreasonably impeded."
This announcement from Mr.. Hay is
the result OF the petition to President
Mckinley from 40 American miners in
the Porcupine country. who complained
Of being brought within the territory
and under the laws Of the Dominion
OF Canada. and especially protested
against the location Of the boundary
line along the Klehini river. by which
American miners were forced to enter
British territory in carrying supplies to
their camps.
The reply Of Secretary Hay discusses
the whole proposition at considerable
length. He assures the miners that the
modus vivendi is merely temporary
proposition to be abrogated without
prejudice to either party when a per-
manent settlement of the boundary
dispute is decided upon; that in the
meantime the rights of all miners tenn
porarily brought within the Canadian
control win be religiously protected;
and that miners desiring to carry goods
through the disputed territory viii be
permitted to do so without unjust in
terference from the Canadian customs
officials.
