THE ISSUE.

While the recent contempt cases pre-
sent strong proof of lack of judicial
balance and an unfestrained and
vengeful disposition. on the part of the
Judge this is not by any means the
most serious issue presented.
The principle involved is, can a man
charged with crime object to being
tried by jul ge who is his bitter per-
sonal enemy, or must he stand mute?
The Hawaiian statute says that if he
cannot have fair trial FOR ANY
CAUSE, a defendant may have change
of venue. The only way to secure a
change of venue is to file a motion ask
ing for 1t.
The rules of the court require that
a motion be based on the record, or
on affidavits. Bias and prejudice on the
part of the judge do not appear on the
record; therefore they must be made
to appear, if at all, by affidavit.
To show bias and prejudice on the
part of the judge, an affidavit must
necessarily deal with his personality
and with matters which, if strong
enough to show prejudice. must in
volye that which is unpleasant to him.
The very nature of the proceedings
prevents II being otherwise. Facts
which are pleasant to the Judge will
not prove prejudice. Facts which
prove prejudice will be unpleasant to
him.
But, 1t is claimed, unpleasant person
alities concerning the judge, contained
in the affidavit, constitute contempt of
court
If this Is SO, then what becomes of
the right of change of venue?
The only logical :, conclusion TO be
drawn from the foregoing premises Is.

/. AN UNJUST JUDGE.

The pure, unmitfgated yiciousness Of
Judge Humphreys action in sentencing
to Jail for thirty days, without power
of appeal, three of the leading men of
the town, including General Alfred S.
Hartwell, the Nestor of the Hawaiian
bar for six years a Judge of the Su-
preme Court, twice ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
veteran of the Civil War, a member of
the Loyal Legion and OF the Grand
Army of the Republic, is growing upon
the community, instead of diminishing,
as time goes by.
The alleged offenSe consisted in insert
ing in an affidavit statements of facts
to show that Judge Humphreys was
too biased and prejudiced against Mr..
Smith to be proper Judge to sit on
his trial.
At the most. the statements were dis
courteous to the Judge; they imputed
no criminality; if true, they manifestly
were gerInane to the issue, and tended
to show bias.
Suppose the strongest case; that
there had been no motion or attempt
to prove prejudice, but an attorney
had been discourteous to the Judge, is
he OF such sacred clay that nothing
but the extreme limit of the law will
suffice to wipe out the blot of a slight
trespass upon the official dignity?
Think of it, Thirty days in Jail, in
common residence with thieves and
murderers, and for what? For simple
and incidental discourtesy to the judge
And a Judge who day by day from the
bench and from his personally-conduct-
ed newspaper, Is dealing out the mos.
violent inyective and charges to whom
soever crosses his path.
Judge Humphreys is apparently al
ways an object of contempt. for there
have been more cases of contempt De
fore him in ten months than before all
the Circuit and Supreme Court Judges
of Hawaii in a generation.
A man who can see no remedy for
personal discourtesy, but Incarceration
in Jail for thirty days and thirty nights
lacks the common elements of human
ity. Justice and decency. He is an "un-
lust Judge" and nothing stronger can
he said Of q man.

iOPODIUM-IS WHAT
LECTURE ON HAITI.

By Councilman James Wheeler Before
 St. PauFs Church Club.
 An interesting lecture was delivered last night before the St. Pauls church club by Councilman James Wheeler, his subject being "The Black Republic of Hayti" The speaker outlined the his tory of the government in this island, contrasting it's state when under French control with the present deplorable con- dition of affairs The government by the blacks is an utter failure. he thought, the state being practically rul- ed by the voodoo priests. Society in the island is in a terrible condition, there being no marriages, and the pop >ulation is only kept down by recurring epiden1ics caused by the general filth. The blacks are reverting to the original savage type, he said.

 1 Pekin, April 26--The National Zeit- ung to-day prints Russian correspon- dence which contains another version of the letter Count Leo Tolstoi address, ed to the czar and cabinet April TO- The letter protests against forcibly 1 suppressing intellectual and political progress, counseled the liberation of the peasants from despotic treatment, the removal of all barriers of enlighten- ment, and the free profession of any faith. The letter concludes:
 This appeal have I, Leo Tolstoi, written not as a personal conviction but as the conviction of millions belong ing to Russian intelligence" The correspondent! adds: "The letter has made the deepest inn pression throughout Russia" The Cologne Volks-Zeitung prints a St. Petersburg special which says the university situation has suddenly again grown worse. From Moscow university word has gone out to persist in passive opposition until all the sentenced stu dents have been pardoned.

Two years later, without saloons, the
costs in the same court were down to
about $1,000, while the justice of the
peace was practically without bust
ness. In this line the statistics were
multiplied TO take away the greater
part OF the $4,000 received in taxes.
Another Tack.
Then he illustrated by taking one
saloon paying a license, of $1,S00 per
year, rent $500 per year, help $1,000
per year, incidetnals $500 per year,
the United States $240 per year, and
reserving $1,000 as profits, in all lit
tie over $4,000. To get this much
above cost he must sell about $4,000
of liquor; twenty-five saloons would
sell about 100000 in all. Accordingly,
there would be paid out about S97 900
for liquor; that is, invested in liquor,
which was consumed and disappeared
Assuming that the remaining $1O3, 900
went into useful lines of trade, this
$500 sent away from the city
brought back no taxable property in
return, brought no necessities to the
people nor added any comforts.
If the same money were invested in
lumber or something of continuing
value and added to the city's wealth
and could be assessed and taxed as
other property is, this with the money
saved to the city otherwise, the bene-
fits derived from the use of the prop
erty and other benefits would more
than pay the license received from the
saloons, according to the figures of Dr.
Hinitt.
There was again a moral worth in a
city or community to- be considered.
Liquor never brings comfort to society
but is always a burden and often a
menace, it is said, and cited the recent
murder trial in New Jersey. Again,
all great lines of industry-labor mir
ling concerns-bar from their employ
ment all persons who drink Bond
companies will not become RESPONSE
BILE for employees who drink. Men even
engaged in the liquor business will
employ nothing but sober men.

HAS NOT JURISDICTION.
Claimed Supreme Court Cannot Pass
Upon Titus Law

Des Moines, Jan. 22.-Attorney G..
A. Irwin, of Sioux City, filed an argu-
ment in the Titus amendment case
with the clerk of the supreme court
yesterday. Mr.. Irwin holds that the
amendment is valid and that it must
be literally construed. In regard to
it's validity he takes the ground that
the court has not jurisdiction, to de-
termine the sufficiency of the record
of the twenty-seventh' general assem-
bly,, but that according to section one
of article ten of the code the twenty
eighth general assembly is given ex-
elusive authority to determine for it
self whether the proposed amendment
had passed both houses Of the twenty
seventh general assembly substantial
ly. This determination he holds was
essential to the valid action of the
twenty-eighth general assembly and
such determination was judicial in its
character and conclusive. The TWEEN
| ty-eighth general assembly specifical-
lly found the amendment had been
adopted by the preceding assembly.
Unless it found affirmatively that ii
had been adopted it had no authority
to procede.
Oral arguments in the case will be
made Wednesday. A. B. Cummins, M
| w. Bailey and s. w Brookhart will
present arguments. Written arguments
will be filed by Milton Remley and by
Judge G G. Cole tomorrow.

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of a Famous Physician

First and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your al

cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive or

He took as an illustration the city of
: Ottumwa and started by repeating the
arguments used by friends of the sa-
loon, that is that the city received Ii

The twenty-five saloons of Ottumwa
paid in 1884 1880 each as license
money; $4,000 in all. Six hundred
and sixty dollars of this went to the
county, leaving about $4,000 for the
city. This was the extent of the city's
income therefrom.
But, Dr.. Hinitt said, the crimina,
business was more expensive, insani
