A RIDICULOUS ATTITUDE.

For several days The Republican has
been asking High Sheriff Brown why
he permitted the proprietor of King
street restaurant to furnish his patrons
liquors in open and notorious violation
of the law. The high and mighty High
Sheriff has become so accustomed to
considering himself above the people
and wholly unanswerable to them for
his actions that he has refused to no.
tice the queries, going upon the prin-
clple so long in vogue in Hawaii, that
It was none of the peoples business
what the public servants did
But at last the great man has opened
bis mouth. and, as Tom Reed said of a
distinguished gentleman from Tennes-
see on one occasion, extracted from the
sum total of human knowledge, when
he did so. In an interview published in
a morning contemporary yesterday the
High Sheriff said that ii was the prov
ince of the Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. to say whether or not the proprie-
tor of the restaurant sold liquor; that
If the collector did so decide and a
United States license was taken out,
then, and then only, would it be time
for the High Sheriff to act When it's
up to me- said the High Sheriff. 81
will know what to do. 1t is first in the
lands of Mr. Haywood. If he sees fit
20 impose tax all well and good
This is the most nonsensical sophis-
try We have ever seen used to bolster
up a false position. According to this,
the High Sheriff has no right or aa-
thority TO raid the blind tigers selling
liquor at Waikiki until they have first
secured a United States license from
Collector Haywood. The Republican
would like to ask the High Sheriff how
many places his police force has raided
in the last three weeks that have had
q United States retail liquor license
Did Buchanan have one? Did Gardner
lave ones or any of the others recently
arrested?
BY what right did he raid these
places. IL the reasons he sets forth for
not stopping the open and notorious
violation of the law on King street hold
good? Is there anything in Sec 44i of
the Penal Code that says he shall ar
rest one man for certain offense and
allow another to commit the same Of
fense with perfect immunity, if not the
protection Of his department of the
government?
The Republican suggests in all kind
ness to the Mr.. High Sheriff that he
will find it mighty good policy to stop
this winking at open violation of the
law and get right down to an honest
tasis of enforcing the law equally as
strictly to he rich restaurant keeper
as to the poor devils who run a blind
tiger. One Is as vile as the other In
the eyes of the law.
