PERSONALLY SELECTED JURIEs.

Bailiff Ellis is securing jurors for the
special term of the Circuit Court, pre-
sided over by Judge Gear.
The public is highly sensitive about
juries, the more so because the favorite
bailiff of the First Circuit Court lately
offered to pack jury in an action for
perjury That circumstance showed
what dangerous power s had been
lodged in the hands of court officials
and how easy it had become for I'M
!. scrupulous men to use it in a way to
PREJUDICE verdict.
Having observed this case, the pub
lie came to the conclusion that the per-
sonal selection of jurors by the agent
OF any judge or other official was so
likely to reflect upon the per-
sonal motives or intent of such
Judge or other official, and to
subject him to such embarrassment
that he would naturally choose a fairer
mode of procedure. Instead of hay-
Ing bailiff select jurors according to
his own devices or the prompting of the
court, it was hoped that two or three
hundred names would be taken at ran
dom from the assessment roll or the
voting register, put in box in open
court, the box to be then shaken and
names drawn until an eligible list had
been obtained, the term eligibility APP
plying to adult male citizens of the
class qualified to vote. Such a method
prevails in California and other locali-
ties on the mainland, and is open to no
complaint Of unfairness.
Is it too late for Judge Gear to in
sist upon this innovation. We hope not,
because he has shown an apparent de-
sire to be fair in other matters and so
keep out of the category of branded
jurists. BY his jury he will be judged,
and we hope it is within his will and
power to get favorable public verdict.

Kipling TO Australian Children.

The conductor of the children's col
umn in an Australian weekly journal
has succeeded in extracting an inter-
esting letter from Rudyard Kipling.
She offered a prize for the best poem
in the style of THE Absent Minded
Beggar," and when the competition
was over she sent a copy of the WIN
ming verses to Mr.. Kipling. He replied
thus
THE Woolsack, Rosebank, Cape
Town, January "a, 1901-Dear Madam:
L have to acknowledge with many
thanks receipt of yours of November
9th, which has only just reached me
here, and the very kind words you use
in regard to my verses. Will you please
tell 'Doreen' that 1 have read her
'Weary-Hearted Watchers and like it
very much. The real suffering of any
war is always with the women, but the
women of the commonwealth and the
dominion may be proud with the
proudest to think how splendidly their
menfolk have done in this struggle. I
have had the honor of meeting a good
many Australians, and some of them I
love them in the least, but we all do"
Mr.. Kipling concludes his letter with
this little pleasantly:
There is very nice story going
the rounds of some of your men, who
were surrounded by Beers with rifles
and artillery for several days-weeks
almost. When they were relieved
(they fought like demons) someone
asked trooper what had happened.
Well said he, there was any amount
Of firing, so we dug trenches. About
two feet down we got on the color Of
gold. and after that we just went to
work sinking shaft. Some of us are
coming back to form a company, and
l think we ought to take in a few
leading Beers, because we should never
have prospected as we did If 1t hadn't
been for them Very sincerely yours.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Ready for Such People.

A Brussels correspondent tells an
amusing story of recent visit paid
by Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt to the
Museum Of Ancient Brussels Laces.
The sight of such priceless treasures In
charge, apparently, of a single person,
inspired Mr.. Vanderbilt with an Am
erican idea as to the possibilities.
What would you do" he queried, Elf
we were all to set upon you?" Mon
sieur can try" replied the man quietly,
and almost on the instant six stalwart
men appeared at the door, summoned
by an electric button which the care
taker had pressed. Finally, as Mr..
Vanderbilt and his friends absolutely
refused to leave the building without
being allowed to buy something,
number of lace handkerchiefs were
quietly got from neighboring shop.

A Graphophone Will.

A wealthy land owner near Smo-
lensk, Russia, died not long ago, and
ly for the will, but without success.
A few days later young man, seeing
a graphophone on the table in the IL
brary, put into it a record which he
supposed was that of popular Rus
sian song. To his amazement and ter
ror, instead of song he heard the
dead mans voice recite the words OF
the missing will. The heirs were noti-
fed of the discovery, lawyers were
summoned, and the question then arose
whether will left on a graphophone
cylinder would be deemed valid by the
courts. This question is now before
the Supreme Court of ST. Petersburg.

THE COMPANY HE KEEPS.

The standing which Judge Hum
phreys has in this community was
clearly shown Sunday morning by the
kind Of men. aside from relatives, who
went to the steamer to bid him fare
well. and who cheered and decorated
him. There was group of less than
twelve, comprising the most notorious
men in the Home Rule antiAmerican
Legislature, and a few of Humphreys
white political intimates in fractional
politics. In this little squad Kalauoka-
lani. Mossman and Prendergast were
the most conspicuous, and also the
most noisy. One or two of the Hawai-
ian lawyers" whom Judge Humphreys
ground out when they had passed his
bailiff bill. were present; and a Ha-
waiian employe of his, court came for
ward at the last minute with leis Among
Humphreys friends there in evidence
were but two or three who have any
claim whatever upon public considera-
ton. Several of them stand in need of
coat Of Grand Jury whitewash.
That judge, after making an effort,
as Humphreys is reported to have done,
to get a "send-off.' finds himself unable
to rally more than enough men to
crowd a steamers cabin, is bad enough;
but when, among his friends the bust
ness, law, commerce, government, re-
ligion and society of the city where he
lives is unraprsserte ted, the m after he
comes radically significant. 1t would
have been better for Humphreys to go
away from here in the same secret
fashion that. he left Arizona AMI San
Francisco than to expose to the ,,un-
dreds of people who went to the wharf
yesterday to bid goodbye to friends or
to see the steamer depart, the Fact that
his following is SO small, so hostile to
the party which made him judge and
so disreputable in many of its COM
ponent parts.
We do not mean, of course, to indicate
that the Humphreys following is con-
fined to a bakers dozen, for a small
battalion of ragamuffins and heelers is
generally at his beck and call. When
ever the petitions sent to Washington
to induce the President to keep the
branded Judge in office come to be an
alyzed, that fact will be apparent.
Those who had look at these petitions
say that they make pretty accurate
census of the rowdy element In Homo
lulu. The signers were sought in the
saloons and stables, and the majority
of them found there. 1t was, in the
main, a sorry company, but it was the
best one Humphreys could assemble,
and the same kind of a one the man
had in Arizona purlieus, where he did
his former politics.

The absence of one judge on politi-
cal mission. leaves the long civil and
criminal calendar of the First Circuit
Court to be handled by one other, thus
delaying justice and demoralizing cases.
The First Circuit bench, beginning at
the time when Silliman left it as soon
as he had acquired the judicial title,
has set a conspicuous example of negli-
gence and laxity. Things were very diff
ferent In the old days when judges
earned their salaries and commanded
respect for their assiduity as well as
their learning e -

A FAIR OUTLOOK.

The future of racing in these islands
looks to be bright. AT the meeting OF
the Jockey Club just ended, twice as
many different horses have faced the
starter as in any previous year. That
the spert was good is evidenced by the
fact that five new track records We're
created.
Hawaii is admirably suited for horse
racing, and a glance at some of the
times made last week will show that
they compare very favorably with per-
formances on mainland tracks.
All that is needed to put local racing
on a firm footing is the adoption by the
Jockey Club of. policy of progression.
An advertisement in San Francisco
papers would attract the attention of
Owners racing in California to the local
meetings, and doubtless, several would
ship horses down here after the San
Francisco season closed, provided, of
course, suitable inducements We're Of
fered After the local meeting the visi-
tors could attend the Hilo races, and
the result of their trip would be the
acquiring of purses. if they brought
stock good enough, and royal time.
| The mainstay of the sport here,
however, is the native born steeds. 1t
is pleasing to notice the importation of
stout blood to these islands. The pres
ence of such sterling animals as Wei
Ter and Billy McCloskey and of mares
such as Catherine, Aggravation, Virg1e
A., Racery and Venus is quartet Of
colts whose running will rebound to
the credit of the land where they were
born. The Jockey Club has commenced
to and must continue to foster the Ha-
waiian bred, even if the experiment
prove costly at it's inception.
Sport down here must be conducted
by capable officials, and above all, must
be kept clean. The wrongdoer and the
conniver of wrong-dofng must be
| taught once and for all that his room is
more acceptable than his company on
the local tracks. So will the sport be
kept free from faint, and in time re-
ceive the support of those in the com
munity who love racing, but regard
their good name more, and who cannot
afford to risk it by indulging in thei1
| favorite pastime under the auspices OF
an association which is slow to detect
| crooked work, and slower still to lay
it's hand on the crooks.
| The Jockey Club must in future ex-
ercise more discretion in it's choice OF
judges and starters. At the meeting
| just terminated, the latter official has
been painfully delinquent in his duties
and several of the judicial decisions
| have been manifestly absurd. Local
racing is rapidly growing in Importance
and it behooves the governing body to
cast about for officials whose past turf
experience shall prevent them from
laundering and becoming fit butts fol
the shafts of ridicule Of the whole sport
ing community.

1t speaks well for the Francis Muir
ply movement that its work in this
city goes on apace, months after It's
founder had left for Australia. When
the great blue ribbon apostle was here,
other movements were started along
the lines of actual prohibition, but they
did not last. or at least made no i'm

appeal which seems to reach further
than any other in redeeming men from
the slavery of strong drink.

to hang to it until they bankrupt the
