WAS The WRONG MAN.
Terrell County Negro Who Was Taken to
Alabama Returns Home.

The negro who was believed to be
George Austin and was taken from
Dawson to Alabama by Deputy Sheriff
Skipper of Henry county last week
has returned home, his statement that
he was the wrong man having proved
true.
The crime for which Austin was ar
rested was wife murder in 1889. His
brother, Alfred Austin, is the guilty
man.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.

The verdict of the jury in Choy Look
should the decision of the Supreme
Court sustain the verdict, the work
of the court of claims will be consid-
erabiy curtailed. The question before
the jury was whether an insurance
company was liable which in its fire
policy, protected itself by clause that
it should not be responsible for any
damages caused directly or indirectly
by any order of a civil authority"
The case is the old one arising out
OF the Chinatown fire in the plague
time. The Board of Health had order
ed the destruction of several blocks
at various times, and the burning had
been successfully carried out by the
fire department, the flames being kept
within the circumscribed area. Wheth
er this policy was a wise one or not,
whether it was a necessary one or not
is not in question. The Board. urged
by strong public feeling at the time,
took the responsibility. Had the fires
been held in check as they were up
to the time of the destruction of block
fifteen, the way was comparatively
clear. But circumstances took the re-
suit out of the hands of the Board of
Health and out of. hands of the Fire
Department.
The burning of block fifteen, which
was the nest of rookeries then existing
in the vicinity of Kaumakapili church,
was mooted for long time before 1t
actually took place. 1t was a difficult
job, but the Fire Department was eX-
perienced, and thought itself amply
capable of keeping the fire within
bounds. What upset all these calcula-
tions was the sudden springing up of
a wind down the valley which whirled
sparks and burning shingles over an
area which it was impossible for the
Fire Department to reach, and the re-
suit was a confagration which swept
with an ever increasing roar from
Beretania street to the sea.
There was no reason for either the
Board of Health or for the Fire De-
partment to think that they could not
control a fire such as was started in
block fifteen. 1t had been controlled
on several occasions previously, and
but for the rising of the wind the fire
would have been controlled. Under
the circumstances was a fire insurance
company liable which had striven to
protect itself by the clause mentioned
above? The jury thought not. 1t re-
mains to see what the Supreme Court
thinks.

"C'EsT MAGNIFIQUE, MATS

One cannot help looking over the
lack of results in this session of the
Legislature without a feeling of sym
patty for few very mistaken men.
If the lesson those men have received
is taken to heart, the time after all is
not wasted. To have had even one fool
cured of his folly is some advantage to
the community in general.
Certainly when the Legislature came
together there We're in one or two minds
high hopes of reaching an ideal form
of government. But between having
an ideal and being able to formulate
it, there is a very, very wide gulf If
added to the IDEAL and bearing it
down there is the dead weight of poll
teal and personal rancor, the ideal
has no chance of ever being realized.
The Legislature came together with
the ostensible idea of recognizing the
political system of the Islands. 1t
needed recognizing. Upon that think
ers of all parties were agreed. But
the overwhelming majority not only
wanted reorganization, but it wanted
revenge, and Unless a person is very
level headed, and is content to bide his
time, revenge is one of the most un-
satisfactory and at the same time the
most expensive luXuries that can be in
Obliged in. Now even the well meaning
and earnest minded of the majority
wanted revenge more than, they want
ed reform and the result has been that
they have failed in both, and have COW
cred themselves with a political pail
to carry with themselves to their poll
teal graves.
Instead of really facing the issues
which were before the people of the
Territory, the time of the Legislature
was taken up in pickering with the
executive and in personal diatribes
against officials from the Governor
down to the poorest paid cleark," as
one sapient Representative informed
the House he meant to institute. He
threw the scabbard of his sword of elo-
quence away and stood there ready
to cut off metaphorical heads, yea, if
there was but one drop of the hated
blood in the veins of the trembling
clerk. AS the French said of the cele-
brated Balaklava Charge, "c'est mag
nifique, mails ce est pas la guerre."
1t is grand but it is not war. So of
our own bold legislators. 1t was grand,
but it was not legislation, and it has
not brought us any nearer the goal
of reform.
The results have been nil. The reg
ular session failed to pass a single
measure of any Importance save the
income tax act, and that did not
emanate from the majority. The Ter
ritory needed steps to be taken tow
ards county government and towards
municipal government. Whether it
would not be wise to consider steps in
this direction more carefully than could
be done in the limits of one session was
a matter which occupied the minds of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-07-01

men who gave careful thought to the
questions. The Republicans had pre-
pared a municipal act, but the ma
jority would have none of 1t. A county
act was passed, which was so full of
contradictions and crudities. so utterly
illogical and raw, that 1t could not be
signed, and had it been signed, the
whole Territory would have been in
an uproar. Even it's own introducer
would have cursed the day he pasted
the slips together which formed the
bill, and evidently got them mixed in
the process. Beyond this nothing else
was attempted, practically.
Then has come the special session
for the discussion of appropriation
bills. Considerably over forty days
has been spent in making out bills
both in the Senate and House. After
the forty days in the House, the re-
suit was forwarded to the Senate, and
promptly thrown out by that body.
Forty days of wind and invective lost.
The Senate, itself, after working for
somewhat more time, has come back
to the idea that the governors esti-
mate is after all the best that could
be made. and is practically endorsing
that estimate.
The lesson to be learned from all
this seems to be plain enough. 1t was
plain enough to any one who had a
fundamental knowledge of legislative
history. If a Legislature is to accom-
plished anything of value to it's consti-
tuents, the members must set before
themselves public measures, not priv
ate aims. The views of those who
differ from the majority should be lis
tened to- for much can be learned from
those who disagree from your own
view. To be a useful and serviceable
Legislator does not require brilliant
genius or great powers, but it does re-
quire common sense and unselfishness.
The lack of these qualities has led the
present Legislature into a position
where it has been rightly compared to
the Bander-log of Kipling's poem.

The Grand Jury in Waikiki has TAX
en- opportunity to shake up matters
upon the Island of Maui in great shape.
1t is noticeable that it gave little or
no attention to the district of Hama.
That is probably section of the Island
which needs looking into even more
than Lahaina. if all stories that come
down from that part of the world are
true. Though there is telephone COM
munieation, Hama is one of the most
isolated districts on the Islands and
is visited by few strangers.

The great boating event of the sea-
son is near at hand, and there is
great deal of interest being taken in
the several crews. AS in all races
changes may take place in the per-
sonnet of the crews up to the last mo-
ment. Men are not able to keep up
their training. or they fall sick at a
critical time, or they don't improve II
their style, or half hundred things
happen, and their coaches are driver
distracted and wish they had never
been born. But it all comes right in
the end, and the crews paddle out II
their graceful shells, their sturdy limb,
clustering in the sun, and then there
is the race and the final struggle at the
end and one crew wins and the other is
beaten and there is no hard feeling OF
either side. This is the story of tru
sport, and this is the way our boys
conduct it.

1t is to be hoped that the police will
be able to break up the gangs of Por-
tuguese hoodlums which are beginning
to crop up in various parts of the city.
These gangs are composed of lads
from sixteen to twenty-three or four
years of age. They gamble, and use
the vilest of language. While they are
a terror to Chinese and Japanese who
may be in the vicinity. A little work
upon the roads would be the most salu-
tary medicine for cooling the ardor Of
these youths. If they are not checked
they will go from bad to worse.
