LINCOLN'S POWER.

For making the homeliest story point
a moral or clinch IN argument, we
may, possibly, never again look upon
the like of Lincoln. Take a random
story, more pertinent, perhaps. because
it came fresh from the lips of an old
time friend and antedates the Civil
War by several years. Asked to speak
on the tariff question. Lincoln ans
wered, quitely:
I confess I have no very decided
views on the question. A revenue we
must have. In order to keep house, we
must have breakfast dinner and supper;
and this tariff business seems to ME to
be necessary to bring them. But yet
there is something obscure about it.
It reminds me of fellow who once
came into grocery store at Salem,
where I onced lived, and dalled for a
picayune's worth of crackers. The
clerk laid them out on the counter.
After sitting while, he said to the
clerk: Il don't want these crackers;
take them, and give me glass Of
cider" The clerk put the crackers
back into the box and handed the fel-
lew the cider After drinking the
fellow started for the door. Here,
Bill, called out the clerk. ''pay me
for your cider" why" said Bill.
II gave you the crackers for it. .
"Well. then, pay me for the crackers. y
But hadn't any" responded Bill.
That's so," said the clerk. "Well.
clear out. It seems to me that
have lost a picayune somehow, but
can't make it out exactly" So, said
Lincoln, it Is with the tariff; somebody
gets the picayune, but I don't exactly

some of the hunters were for firing on
any man travelling on horseback or in a
buggy, knowing that it was death to
try and take the bandits alive. No
body was killed in the excitement Of
that wonderful hunt, but many q
traveller was scared almost to death,
because the hunters took every stranger
for one OF the James brothers. Jesse
James was killed at st. 10, Missouri,
and Frank was finally pardoned.

sas CITY Journal, that in the huctua-
lions of the revenue which the Govern
ment derives from Its stamp sales may
be found an accurate indication as 10
the financial progress or retrogresslon OF
the people as whole Naturally TINS
should be so, since practically every
citizen Is contributor In greater OF

true. admits Captain Woodruff that the
productive possibilities Of the soil are
not the sole measure, for we have In
stances " countries that increase far
beyond their own power OF sustaining
life. For example. there IL England
with 500 population TO the square mile
which Is importing more than one-third
~ her entire food supply. Thus a man
ufacturing nation that can buy food
abroad will support a much densrr pop
ulation than her own resources can pro-
vide for. But giving every possible
credit 20 the ability OF the United
states TO take from the products OF
others Captain Woodruff still thinks
that those figures by Or Pritchett are
very Lreposterous.
At the saturation point the death rate
and the birth rate must be equal as
they now are in China, where there Is
a large birth rate and also frightful
destruction of life by pestilence, muir
der and famine. "Our civilization"
says Captain Woodruff, will never
tolerate such mortality, nor can the sur
plus migrate. as 1t has been doing from
Europe for 400 years. Yet we need
have no fear Of future famines and pes
thence. due to overcrowding. and, so
necessary i'm India and China, for the
solution of the problem will come of it's
own accord in a natural limitation OF
the size Of families. BY the time we
have reached our maximum growth IT
is quite likely that the number of
children in American families will be
less than three, or just enough to com
pensate for unavoidable deaths and
still keep the population stationary. The
deliberations of the Malthusian So
cieties may appear very absurd, but
they are merely discussing things
which are sure to come about natural
ly and not artificially."
DIR. Pritchetts estimate of population
one thousand years hence is 11,0OO for
each square mile of our territory. Cap
tain woodruff thinks that the utmost
our soil will ever be able to sustain is
1876 to the square mile, or about 100000
900 The authorities are, therefore, 40
500 100000 apart, which gives some lit
tie force to our opening remark about
the absence of value in the discussion.

PROBABLE POPULATION.

DR.. II, S. Pritchett, in the Popular
Science Monthly, has been making some
estimates of the probable population
that the United States will have at diff
ferent periods of its future existence,
basing his figures on what he calls the
natural law of increase, and other
doctors are striving to show that the
doctor doesn't know much about the
subject matter of his discourse. With
out following the doctors statistics
through all of their ramifcations, 1t
will suffice to say that he fixes the
population for 1850 at 200, 900 600, and the
population a thousand years hence at
Al 600 900. 900, or several times the sum
total of the earth's population at the
present time.
OF the writer's who take issue with
these figures, perhaps the most interest
ing Is Charles Il. Woodruff, an officer
OF the United States army. lie claims
that the natural law OF increase, as
stated by DIR. Pritchett, is false one
for the reason that II does not take in
to consideration the impossibllity Of in
crease beyond the "saturation point

"A population below It's saturation
point win increase rapidly but when II
saturates the soil there is no increase

THE BAIRD INCIDENT.

The action OF the Federal Distric
Attorney and the Federal Judge IN tbs
sodergren case seems extraordinary
In view Of the relations mutually borne
In the American courts to n cause al
bar by the Judge, the prosecuting at
torney and the jury.
In the United states. save In this in
tegral part OF them. Il is the business
OF the Judge to tell the jury the law:
/ OF the prosecuting officer TO present
/ the evidence to the jury; and 1t Is the
exclusive function of the jury to decide,
upon the evidence and the law thus
presented whether the prisoner Is
guilty or innocent.
Here i'm Hawaii there have been at
tcmpts to partly eliminate the jury or
att least to curb its freedom Of action
and make 1t "A creature of the judge or
Of the prosecution. Thus, awhile ago,
a jury. having done its duty, was de-
nounccd from the bench by the pre-
siding jurist and two OF the men in
the box were dismissed without fees.
The ultimate result was that the Of
Tending Judge was forced to retreat
from his false position and confess that
he had overstepped his powers and in
fringed upon the rights possessed by
the twelve good men and true, whose
duty IT was to pass upon the evidence.
We then had hope that the jury sys-
tenn would not again be tempered with,
nor has it been in the Territorial courts.
But how about the Federal courts?
In the Sodergren case jury, made
up of reputable men, weighed the evil

be tried next but to the establishment
of the bar and the spectators, the
United States District Attorney re-
fused to go on, and then scath-
ingly denounced the jury, whereupon
Judge Estee, at his request, punished
the whole venire by dismissing it with
sharp words. and declaring that the
man was guilty whom the twelve in
the jury box had pronounced inno-
cent.
The effect of such a proceeding must
be coercive upon Federal turies in flu
ture. They viii not feel free to eX
ercse their own judgment of evidence,
but will naturally try, unless they are
juries strongly infused with the Ameri-
can spirit of independence, to con-
form to the views of the prosecuting
attorney and the Judge. Such a state
of things must end in miscarriages of
Justice. 1t is contrary to the basic
principles OF law in free countries, and
it is foreign to the traditional practice
of Hawaii and the other States and
Territories.
If a prosecuting attorney may ar
raign n jury and cause its punishment
for failure to convict, why may not
