Lord Salisbury was chosen to fill up the

THAT "ANARcHY" CRY.

The honest Interpretation OF law
in the habeas corpus cases, resulting
from tie illegal conviction OF prison
ers during the transition period, proves
the utter foolishness Of the jail de-
livery" anarchy cry raised by our
official faction. There has been no
Jail delivery; there will be none; there
would have been no Jail delivery or
anarchy during the transition period"
had the members of Hawaii's Supreme
Court the courage to accept the duty
placed upon them like men.
The bugaboo Of anarchy" and tho
false alarm Of Jail delivery were mere
ly poor and incompetent forms Of
excuse by which II was sought to hide
the Incompetence Of official life. They
were products of factionalism, the evil
dence Of politics weighing heavily in
the balances of justice with the pnr-
pose and intent OF defeating justice.
The route that seemed the easiest was
taken without regard for the righs
Of the prisoners.
The jails are not emptied o. prison
ers charged with Infamous crimes. The
community Is peaceful. Anarchy Is
not In sight. Justice Is being render
ed: the rights guaranteed by the Con-
stitution Of the United States are be-
ing upheld. That Is all. When Am
erican Law creates anarchy the moon
will be creation of green cheese. The
Law students OF the Territorial SUI
preme Court ought to know II. They
doubtless did. but according to their
early teaching II is more honorable to
support the contentious of friends
than to declare the law without regard
Tor expedients.
Slowly but none the less surely the
factional rulers OF these Islands are
being taught that the Newlands Reso-
luton and the Territorial Act were not
passed. nor was the American flag
raised here to maintain old oligarchical
or monarchical conditions. They
must learn whether willingly or not
that this is an American Territory
