CHINESE CERTIFICATE PUZZLE.

If it turns out that 5000 more Chi
nese certificates have been issued than
there are enumerated Chinese in the
islands, the secret service of the Gov
eminent has an obvious duty to per-
form.
The census was we'll taken. 1t is
inconceivable that 5000 Chinese escaped
the enumerators. Can it be that there
has been a regular traffic in Chinese
certificates? Such documents sell or
have sold on the coast for from 500
to $500 apiece; and the Ciprico gang is
now in jail there on account of their
dealings in them. At the lowest mar
ket price the 5000 surplus certificates
issued here We're worth 100000. That
is a big fortune, even as fortunes go.
Has any part of it fallen into the peck
cts OF n criminal ring?
1t may turn out, however, that the
Chinese bureau is at fault as to the
exact figures of the census. the Chinese
portion of which has not yet been Off
cially returned to Census Agent Akin
son. or, 1t may be that the certitica-
ton Of people of mixed Chinese and Ha-
waiian blood by the one bureau. and
their proper racial classification by the
other causes the 5000 discrepancy.
But in any case the matter deserves
an official clearing up.

on land not used for sugar. so both the
large and the small proprietor might
work side by side.
Let us look facts squarely in the face.
1t Is better for the general welfare Of
Hawaii that all the land capable Of pro-
duclnE such a valuable product as sug-
ar, should be used for that purpose. The
yield would then be certain and the
profits large. To cut up a plantation

assurance at all that the white man
would be the small proprietor? Men
talk as II the opening up Of our public
lands would bring colonies from the
coast. II would, under the Hawaiian
land laws, where a white mans upset
price could be put upon an auction sale
or lease OF farming acreage. But
under the American land laws, any
citizen could rush in and pre-empt the
soil for nothing, as was done in okla

waiians and hundreds Of native Chi

colonizers would take the trouble to
come.
What then would happen? Most OF
the land would pass into the hands of
thriftless Hawaiian aborigines, who
would be induced to exist on 1t until
they had proved up" whereupon the
land would pass for cash into control
Of sugar corporations. In fact the
land owners would probably hire Ha-
waians to pre-empt for them. The
Chinese Americans would also get
share. and our thrifty Portuguese
friends would be active. Where would

THE THURSTON DECISION.

Judge Humphreys was ip such a hur'
~ to fine and lmprison MI
'Thurston that hc forgot to sentence
him for contempt. and simply ordered
that he be fined and imprisoned on gen
eral principles. The vicious intent Wa
there plainly enough 1t Is simply an
other Instance Of the unjust judge over
reaching himself Although less vicious
in degree than the attempt to jan
Messrs. Hartwell, Kinney and Ballou
for thirty days the attempt to tine Mr..
Thurstun 500 had even less foundation
than the other circumstances. Mr..
Thurstun had committed no act of
contempt He had simply claimed be
fore the Grand Jury that the law did
not permit him to tell them who was
his client, az that was matter of con
fdenCc between him as an attorney
and his client; that the client would
be injured if his name was revealed
and had refused permission that his
attorney should reveal 1t; that the
privilege of secrecy was that OF the
client and not Of the attorney and that
the law of attorney and client did not
allow the attorney to disclose the name
of the client under these crcum-
stances.
That was the status Of the matter
when it arrived before Juuge Hum
phreys. 1t was within the jurisdiction
of the latter to rule that the claim
made by Mr.. Thurston was not good
law; but there was no ground for de
Gliding that because the claim was not
well taken a contempt had been com
mitted, any more than would have been
the case If the attorney had in any
proceeding claimed any other privilege
or right for his client, and been over
ruled by the court
The imposition of the fine was wanton
and malicious abuse Of power over one
whom Judge Humphreys considers to
be an enemy.
If anything was lacking to demon
strate the personal viciousness of the
act it was the judges going outside of
the record and intimating that Mr..
Thurston's client was myth, some
occult, unknown mysterious client" as
he phrased it, who was mere subter-
fuge behind which to hide essential
facts from the Grand Jury. There was
nothing on the record, in the report Of
the Grand Jury or in the argument Of
counsel even suggesting bad faith on
Mr.. Thurstons part And yet the
Judge wantonly manufactures charges
and promulgates them from the bench,
which, If true. would constitute per-
jury.
Although Mr.. COerper. the 'myster
ious unknown and occult client" has
appeared, COrroborated every statement
that Mr.. Thurston made. and shown
wherein his interests would have been
jeopardized If his name had been made
public, Judge Humphreys has not had
the decency to withdraw his charges
or apologize for making them. 1t is
not to be expected that he would DO
so, however, for 1t is simply one of
series of acts on his part which serve
to demonstrate that the man Is devoid
of the fundamental principles Of JUS
tice and fairness, which make him un-
fit and unsafe to hold the position of
judge, with arbitrary power over per
sonal liberty and property rights.

SECOND EMPIRE
HAS COME INTO BEING, SAYS A
LONDON PAPER.

The London Chronicle, commenting
upon the u. S. Supreme Courts decision
in the Porto Rican cases, says:
A second empire has been born from
Anglo Saxon stock. Hencetorth there
will be American subjects as well as
American Citizens To many minds
the new departure will seem decent
from the lofty American ideals. On a
broader view we see an expansion of a
well ordered government. and the ex-
tension, in due time of reasonable
liberty. The sovereignty conferred by
the Supreme caurt's judgment, although
technically irresponsible, is moral re-
sponsibility of the kind Mr.. Gladstone
recognized when he spoke of the British
Empire as trust and function given
by providence. Ii Is such a spirit we
may be sure the United States will adj
minister its empire.
