LIBERIA TO THE RESCUE.

The news that the distinguished local
politician, Mr.. Franklin H. Austin, has
been made Consul General from Liberia
to this port, comes as a surprise to
those who had forgotten the existence
of such a country as Liberia or had
supposed that it's interests in Hawaii
would hardly warrant the setting up of
a Consular establishment here. How
ever, as reflection shows, the action of
the Liberian government is logical and
political nature.
When the wireless telegraph carried
to Liberia the news that it's former
citizen and educator, T. McCants Stew
art, had been beaten at the Kalihi
primaries by means of fraudulent ball
lots. something was bound to snap.
Though small. the Liberian govern
ment is not at all unmindful of its dig
nifty and it set about the work of giving
its friend Stewart all the protection it's
facilities could afford. We now see the
result. Liberia has no sea-going navy
and is short of regular troops and it's
annual revenue is but $780, President
Coleman, however, is a man of re-
sources and when he heard of the bal
lot-box trouble he lost no time AS a
substitute for troops and gunboats he
picked out Mr.. Austin, an act which we
regard as one of adroit diplomacy. Ger
tain to be effective in it's way. People
who have seen strong men weep and
large audiences scatter when Mr.. Aus
tin mounted the political rostrum and
Numbered at the haole, realize that he
Is more terrible at times than an army
with banners. A man who can enter
an office and cause the proprietor and
clerks to decamp; whose step on the
threshold of palace of amusement
causes the barkeeper to put out the
lights and whose first word is enough
to break up a luau. would have no
trouble at all in dealing with the felo-
MES of Kalihi politics. We can imagine

McCants Stewart, bound to get his

while our friend Stewart goes his way

PROTECTION AND PROGRESS.

One of the strongest works upon
economic subjects that has come in
recent years from the American press
is Protection ard Progress the author
of which is John P. Young. Mr.. Young's
professional writings have been read
in Hawaii for more than two decades
and have had much to do with forming
public opinion here, as in California,
yet such are the penalties of modern
journalism that his identity may not be
familiar to fifty people in these Islands
To the natural question Who is John
p. Young?" we reply that he is the
man whose assiduous labor, whose
brains and conscience and whose stores
of information, Joined with the busi-
ness acumen of the late Charles De
Young and of the latter's more cele-
brated brother. NJ. H. De Young, have
made the San Francisco Chronicle the
most influential newspaper in the West.

Judge Humphreys paper is carrying
on a systematic campaign of misrepre-
sentation against the Supreme Court.
Here is a sample of it's daily filings:
In New York state IL has been held that
for the purpose Of voting no person shall
be deemed to have gained or lost a resi-
dence by reason Of his presence or absence
while engaged I'm the navigation
OF the waters of this state, or of the
United States, or of the high seas" This
Is good law in New York, where they have
q court of appeals that commands the
respect OF the people. Here in Hawaii the
supreme court Of the Territory held that
men engaged in the coastwise shipping of
the Territory were not entitled to register
and vote. Is IL any wonder that the
supreme court fails to command the re-
spect that IL should?
As a matter of fact the Supreme
Court held no such thing. The only
question Of the kind submitted to 1t
was whether man who lived on a
vessel exclusively, with no residence
In any precinct, was entitled to register
and vote in any precinct; and as the
law requires a residence" in a precinct
before registration the court had to say
no. As in New York, a man neither
gained nor lost his residence by be-
Ing temporarily absent at sea or on the
inland waters; but permanent absence,
with no local residence in any voting
precinct disqualified him here as 1t
would in New York. All sea-faring
men having residence qualifications
registered IL they cared to.

AN OPPRESSIVE CONTRACT.

The Board of Education, in the course
Of one of it's executive meetings FIVE
years ago, made a contract with the
use no other text books below High
School grade during the period now
closing, than those published by that
particular trust. The contract, as we
understand 1t, required the Board to
give the printing and binding of its
local text books, such as Alexander's
History, to the same concern. 1t was
cast-iron agreement, the results of
which, while not altogether bad, were
Injurious to an extent which would
warrant the Board in refusing the ur-
gent requests of the American Book
Company for a renewal.
The injury done was chiefly wrought
by the exclusion from Island schools of
bright. useful, up-to-date text books
published by competing houses. OF
these houses the Werner Book Co, Sill
yer. Burdette a. Co., Macmillan & Co,
CHM q Co., and ID. c. Heath & Co., are
hrst-class concerns. some of whose
books are needed In all our schools.

The story of Nalopi, now undergoing
sentence for firing a cane field, as told
in court yesterday for the first time,
excited much sympathy. If it is true
Nalopi ought to be pardoned. He is a
young boy whom certain natives are
said to have intimidated with a loaded
gun and compelled to commit the crime
of arson. When arraigned he took the
advice of the police and pleaded guilty.
Now that the alleged truth about him
has come out an investigation of his
case by the pardoning power would
seem to be simple act of justice.
