AN ODD VIEW.
ervision

George Q. Cannon is most worthy
and most amiable man. In dealing
with his own people in the Mainland
he understands practical questions, but
when he gets down here among the
scenes of his youth of fifty years ago,
he loses that solid hard sense which
has made him leader in Utah, and
has put him in the responsible posi-
ton which he now occupies there.
Mr.. Cannon yesterday expressed
himself as follows:
1T am strongly in favor of segrega-
ton in settlements however. If the
church had the power and was able to
do it, would favor the native here be-
ing gathered together and separated
from the evil influences of the outside
world. If they could be so gotten to-
gether they could be taught a higher
and better life. L especially deplore the
dying away of the old families and it
is even more horrible to think of a
race passing away. 1 wish there We're
more births and fewer deaths among
the people. The trouble is that they
have been influenced by the old tradi-
tons which do not inculcate in them as
high an idea of morality as there should
be. Next to murder, the Mormon church
crime. Could the people be but brought
to a similar view of this matter, it
would be prove a great blessing to the
race.
when I was here before there were
natives of very marked ability; men
who had they been but able to speak
the English langua~- as they did their
own, they would have attained great
honor and distinction among us. Some
of them possessed even eminent ability.
Among them was Apala the father-in-
law of Samuel Parker. Since I have
been here 1 enquired about them and
found that nearly all have passed away
without leaving children to perpetuate
their families. I deplore this disap-
pearance of the native families and
would that the people could be brought
to higher view of progeny than seems
at present to exist"
One can hardly think that the Hawai-
ians will take kindly to be thus wrap
ped up in cotton wool as 1t were. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Cannon the Hawaiian
should have fence put round him

tradition even some of these fell. ,l,1

NOT INFALLIBLE.

The question whether the ruling of
treasury with regard to Chinese nat
uralized here in the past not being ELI
gible for voters, or not being American
citizens, is by no means settled. All
that has been given out is the opinion
of the Treasury. Such an opinion is
neither final nor infallible. There is a
disposition among certain sets here to
think that anything that emanates
from federal sources must be right.
But just as Homer nodded. Shake
speare was sometimes dull, and even
the opinions of chief justices have been
open to refutation, so the federal au-
thorities are by no means always cor
rect.
The Chinese who have claims as citi-
gems are perfectly justified in pushing
those claims. The position of the
Treasury Is also perfectly clear. The
Treasury is like q sheriff, 1t has to act,
and frequently at it's own peril, a
sheriff may and indeed has been in
the position Of being ordered TO do one
thing by one court and forbidden to do
the same thing by another court. The
sheriff acts by the advice of his attor-
ney. but because he has received that
advice it takes nothing from his re-
sponsibility. and he will be held for
contempt and liable to fine unless he
has protected himself by bonds from
the litigants.
Looked at In the abstract the Chinese
have certainly abstract justice on their
side Looked at from the side of the
Treasury it is doing what It thinks is
the intent of Congress, The Treasury
says the tendency Of Congress is to
entirely forbid Chinese citizenship
CONGRESS-, say the Treasury officials,
never meant that Chinese citizens Of
the old Hawaiian monarchy, or of the
recent Republic to become citizens of
the United States. Congress did not
expressly say so in the organic act, bat
We feel certain that that is what is
meant,
If the Chinese citizens who think they
have rights under the organic act
choose to abide by this decision, We'll
and good. The dictum of the Treasury
will be final, but if on the other hand
they do not feel disposed to acquesce
and challenge the decision, they are
perfectly within their rights, and they
are taking an American M ethod of try
ing to enforce them
This Chinese question really does not
affect only the Chinese but ii affects us
all. We must all understand that it
depends upon ourselves 10 defend our
own rights. If the federal xecutiva
makes rulings which we do not consider
correct it is our prerogative to chal-
lenge them. Orders from the federal
government unless strictly correct and
constitutional are no more sacred than
the orders of a state or territorial gov
eminent. The poorest citizen has the
right of challenge just as much as the
wealthiest. The price of liberty said a
great writer is eternal vigilance The
price of our rights as citizens depends
upon our being always ready to scruti-
nize the acts of those who in any way
try to restrict them.
This Chinese question then is one not
only in which the Chinese themselves
are interested, but it is one in which
all citizens have an interest. and over
which they should preserve a keen sup
ervision.

and be taken care of by some one who
would tell him what to do and what not
to do. The Hawaiian would have no
volition of his own and would be prac-
that considered itself his superior and
guardian.
Mr.. Cannon deplores the dying away
of the old families. What Mr.. Cannon
means really is that the men who were
prominent men of his day have passed
away, and that the younger genera
| ton do not think as the men of the
fifties did. 1t does not seem as if the
Hawaiian had lost so much grip, in
as much as at the last election he de-
feated both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and put in a party of his own.
Neither does it seem that there was
lack of ability in organization, when
one considers that there was pitted
against him both power and capital.
There are Hawaiians at the present
time who are eminently capable. There
are Hawaiians occupying positions of
trust and emolument who fill those
places In a thoroughly satisfactory
manner. They are men well educated
and possessing high principle. The
foremost men of fifty years ago among
the Hawaians were, man for man, not
fit to hold a candle to the foremost
men of the present day. They had not
the education, they had not the breadth
Of Of Of he TJoN fo,,
part Hawaiians of the present day.
There is always a tendency among
those who visit the scenes of their
youth to cast a glamor over the past.
The half acre lot dwells in the mind
as a limitless domain, the small cot
tage is remembered as a gigantic struc-
ture, and the people connected with
that time seem grander, cleverer, more
energetic than ever are those of the
present day.
There are, however, practical points
in Mr.. Cannon's remarks which are
worth consideration. He deplores the
fact that of the dwindling race. Every
one will agree with him upon that. 1t
is not that Hawaiian women do not
produce children, their birth rate at the
census of 1896 stood high. It is the
death of the children in their early
years which reduces the native race.
Hawaiian mothers are frequently very
prolific, but few of the children sur
viVe, and in many cases none survive
Anyone who looks through the morS
tally statistics will quickly see how
it is that the vitality of the native race
is going. No race c6uld stand the
slaughter of the inhocents which goes
on here monthly.
In January of last year out of "A
deaths among Hawaiians 90 were I'M
der five years of age. In March, 10
out of SO; in April, II out of SO; in May.
16 out of 46; in June, 10 out of As; and
so the list goes on. 1t shows neglect
on the part of the parents. We have
no proper birth statistics, or anything
worth the paper it is printed upon in
such a matter, but information from
other sources undoubtedly shows that
the decrease in Hawaiians does not
come from an attenuated birth rate,
but from lack of care of the family
when born.
If Mr.. Cannon's visit here has arous-
ed anon those who have come under
his influence an ambition to take better
care of children after they have born,
he will have done a piece of work in
finitely superior to all his missionary
effort of fifty years ago.

Many cough remedies re-

right way to cure cough is to

preme Court Judge Stanley, who is
counsel in half dozen of these insur-
ance cases, announced that he would
dismiss them, and two were ordered
stricken from the calendar. The court
announced that hereafter five cases
must always be ready for trial every

transact. The thorough investigation
made of the calendar yesterday, and

FIGHT FOR
A FORTUNE
Daughter ndAunt
Want Smiths
Insurance..

Twenty-Five thousand dollars was the
Ting in Judge Gears court yesterday.
The amount was the insurance car
ried by the late David 3. Smith, pro-
prietor of the Manufacturers Shoe Co,
in the Equitable Life Assurance Com
pany of New York The rival claimants
to the estate are the daughter of the
deceased, Mrs. Name Burke. and an
aunt, Mrs. Olivia Brown, of Indell coun
ty, North Carolina. Though the insur
ance company is the real defendant in
the case, and is resisting the payment
of the policy, it is only for the pur-
pose of preventing its payment of to
more than one person.
The title of the case is Cecil Brown,
administrator of the estate of David
Bowers Smith deceased VS.. The Equit-
able Assurance Company of New York
and Bruce Cartwright of this city, who
is the local agent of the company and
who is named in the petition as gar
nishee The policy upon which the suit
is brought was issued in Honolulu De-
cember 18th, 1897, and two years later,
December oath, 1899, Mr.. Smith died.
He had paid to the company in pre-
miums during that time the sum of
s2469.25. When a demand was made for
the payment of the policy in Honolulu
it was refused, on the ground that the
loss was payable in New York, AMI the
contention here is that no demand had
ever been made by Cecil Brown as ad-
ministrator, for the payment OF the
$25, 900 in that city.
The defendant also claims that de-
mand had already been made in New
York for the money by Olivia A. Brown,
a resident of North Carolina, and that
she had been appointed administrators
in the surrogate court of New York
May IL, 1900, and on July %, 1900, began
suit in the United States Circuit Court
of the southern district upon the same
policy. 1t appears that Mrs. Brown is
an aunt of the deceased and bases her
claim upon the allegation he was in
debted to her in the sum of $1,000 Tor
money advanced TO purchase his stock
of goods in Honolulu and she filed her
claim upon the policy of S25, 900 as prop
erty within the state of New York, and
consequently subject to the debt.
The following jury was impanelled to
hear the case yesterday afternoon:

cox.
Judge Little was occupied all day
yesterday with the Ropert land case.
The evidence of the plaintiff is con-
cluded except as to one more witness.
There are half dozen attorneys in

it almost impossible to get case 10
trial before Judge Gear.
The report of P. D. Kellett Jr., mas
ter in the matter of the estate of Ben
jamin E. Steigman, was filed yester-
day. This is the case wherein j. A.
Magoon was administrator, and in
which the mother of the decedent made
charges against him of not properly
! administering the estate. The report
of the master completely exonerates
Mr.. Magoon. The balance of the estate
amounts to $780, and of this amount,
S1o5 is allowed for administrator fees.

The evidence of the plaintiff estab-
fishing the death of the decedent, and
also the fact that a demand had been
made upon Bruce Cartwright, and that
the proof of death had been forwarded
to the head office was introduced. At
the conclusion of the plaintiffs case
defendant moved for a non-suit, upon
the ground that it had not been shown
that a demand had been made at New
York previous to the commencement of
the suit. Judge Gear refused to en-
terrain the motion. holding that notice
of proof of death was sufficient to con-
