| But intent on earning a reward from
the old Monarchist party, which was
subject to no inane scruples about do

never lost chance to kow-tow. He
even kow-towed to the Queen: he kow-

! of attorneys with legislative ignoram-
uses who could not tell the difference
between arson and petit larceny; he
affected to deride the idea that there
could be honor or virtue or good repute
outside the ranks of Wilcox poiiti-
clans and their white allies. Still he
did not get on. Presently, with unex-
1pected suddenness came a chance to
lwhitewash the Home Rule Legislature,
then, as now, smirched with the COM
mon fame of bribery. The Governor
had spoken of evidence of legislative
corruption which he could not ignore.
but which he needed a little time to
surround with irrefragable proof With
the cunning of the political ferret,
Humphreys saw that, by getting up a
Grand Jury investigation at once and
packing the jury with members or
friends of the Home Rule party, he
could, perhaps, whitewash the Legisla-
ture, put the Governor In a hole and
earn the gratitude Of the Royalist poll

To think was to act. A Grand Jury

Hilo was Electrically called to account

find Smiths accuser misusing his power
as judge and betraying his own party
as a politician, for the sake of what
patronage the Home Rulers will per-

Judge Humphreys went out of his
way on Wednesday to tell the Attor-

garded both the Attorney-General and
his argument with "unspeakable con-

manage to struggle out from under the
blankets Of preposterous conceit, in
which he has wrapped himself, long
enough to realize the "unspeakable
contempt" with which he is regarded
by the people of this town, irrespective
of race or party. he would feel like a

1t was agreed In the beginning on
both sides that this was to be white

Beers could have offered such induce
ments to the huge masses of savages
enveioping the British settlements as
would have turned them loose upon
