A bulletin has been prepared by the chief
Of the section Of foreign markets Of the
Department of Agriculture showing the
sources of the agricultural imports to the
United States from 1895 to 1900. The total
value of the agricultural produce imported
into the United States in 1900 was $780,

Of the five. The annual average was $780,

important source of agricultural imports,

not know the country yet. II he did he

meant to the Hawaiians and he would un-
derstand why the, Havaiians can never say
Aloha nur to a flag placed above them
against their will by men who wantonly in
suit the name Of liberty and justice Of
which they boast to be defenders, to rob a
country Of its independence, a peaceful ma
tion of its flag and name.
mo Mr.. Fitch, we fail to see that the
American citizenship which we have gained
through historical infamy and a gross
outrage can ever repay for the happy con-
ditions of the peaceful days which we have
lost for good through the base treaehery OF
selfish scoundrels masquerading as mis-
sionaries.

natural 1--WE presume he halls from Ire

An Editor Indicted.

An Fu1tOf lnulCteO.
But l have run ahead of the hottest in
cident in my story. On the 23d Walter G.
Smith, editor of the Pacific Commercial
Advertiser, was indicted by the grand jury
for perjury, and his bail fixed by the judge
at 5000. This Smith is a journalist of
high reputation. He was correspondent Of
the San Francisco Chronicle through the
China-Japan war. He had just testified
to the jury that he did not know the name
of any corporation concerned in legislative
bribery, whereas on the previous day he
had testified that he did know the name
of such a corporation. The discrepancy
arose from the fact that between the two
days he had learned from Thurston that
he was in error in supposing that Coerper
had got Incorporated. 1t now seems that
HUMPHREYS and the grand jury felt GER
tain that they were on the track OF the
Rapid Transit Electric Company Of Homo
lulu This was a missionary" or Doleite
concern, and they meant to show it no
mercy Hence the exorbitant bail, and
further outrages. 1t is due to Humphries
to say, If it be any mitigation OF his con
duct that w. G. Smith has for months
been roasting the judge severely for his
constant arrogance. as well as for his po-
litical intriguing accompanying 1t by nu-
merous telling cartoons. The Judge Is un-
doubtedly wild with anger.
On May %, before Coerpers testimony
had shown the error of jury and court,
Walter G. Smith appeared with his attor-
neys, Hartwell Kinney and Ballou. Kim
ney asked HUMPHREYS If he intended to try
the case, but received an indefinite answer.
In order to prove the judge disqualified he
proceeded to read an affidavit by the &C
cused detailing long series of hostile
relations existing between himself and
Humphries some Of which were extremely
disparaging to the latter. Before 1t was
half read the Judge stopped it in a furious
manner. and denounced the legal trio for
gross and violent contempt of court. In
= Oft he sentenced each or the
three gentlemen to thirty days imprison-
ment The high sheriff took them in
charge until the mittimuses were made out.
BY the time the latter were completed

Gov. Cooper, and the prisoners were re-
leased Mr.. Dole being disabled by nervous

Judge Hartwen Assailed.

The violence of HUMPHREYS action is es-
pecially aggravated by the fact that Judge
Hartwell is a gentleman OF sixty-five years,
of the highest social and professional po-
sition. He has long been the nestor of the
Hawaiian bar, several Of whose ablest
members received their training in his
office. He left the American army at the
close of the civil war as brevet brigadier
general To infiict an ignominious punish
ment on such a man was indecent and
cruel. Yet such is the political heat exist
ing that many maintain that the Judge was
rightly protecting his judicial dignity. At
the annual meeting of the Bar Association
a few days later Gen. Hartwell was unani-
mously elected as president.
Another proceeding remains to be stated
discreditable to Judge HUMPHREYS Be-
tween April II and May Is, nineteen ma
tive Hawaiians, all but one of whom were
members Of the legislature, were licensed
by Humphries as attorneys to practice in
the district courts. These men were pass
ed without examination. and know little
or no law. Such licensing gives them un-
limited opportunity for pettifogging and
stirring up litigation among the ignorant
and foolish natives to their own profit
This Judge has thus conferred a pecuniar-
ily valuable gift upon these home-rule leg
islators in order to bind them to his polit-
