Rank Legislation.

The session of the Legislature just
closed is one which will ever remain
green in the memory of the people. The
rankest legislation in the history of the
islands has been the result of the de-
liberations by men whom the Hawai-
ians believed We're a little bit better
than all the white people in the uni
verse. Even the Hawaiians who elect
ed the burros to seats In the Legisla-
tive hall admit that they were wrong,
and that the representatives so elect
ed are "fearfully and wonderfully
made" The result of the session Is
enough to convince any well balanced
person that Legislature composed
mainly of Hawaiians is "A rank failure,
and once he Is convinced he should
make note OF II and be careful how he

A Noble Devotion.

pitiful sight on the steamer Kinau on
her last trip up from Hawaii appealed to
the sentiment of the passengers. 1t came
through the devotion of a Chinese father
for his little boy which is slowly dying
as the result of an accident more than
year ago. At that time the little boy in
some manner or other obtained n guam
tity of I've, which he drank by mistake.
The result was a horrible burning OF the
boys lips, mouth, throat and stomach.
For weeks the little fellow lay almost in
his fathers arms, little or no nourish-
ment passing his lacerated lips, and what
little did pass downward to the stomach
was quickly rejected. The father gave
up his business, his money and almost
his all TO be at the bedside OF his son.
A short time ago the father was told
that II he wanted to save the boy from
death which seems slowly but surely
overtaking his young life. he must take
him To "A hospital, and the Queens Hos
pital In this City was decided upon. They
arrived Saturday. and the boy is now re-
eeiving the best OF medical attention, the
father meanwhile remaining here 20

sioner was not made at the time.
Prominent among those mentioned for
the office of Superintendent of Public
Works were James A. Hassinger for
mer chief clerk of the Interior Depart
ment and Edward Boyd. The appoint
ments have given general satisfaction,
as II Is known that the two men are
tried and faithful servants of a public
trust both having been connected
with government work for many years.
Mr.. Boyd has been connected with the
present department, man and boy, for
twenty-siN years. Both appointees
commence their duties this morning.

Governor Dole to be Superintendent OF

SOME THING
ABOUT BRIBERY
Herald Gives "a Few Cold Facts
About Legislatures and
Col. "MaZuma.'

The turning down of half-dozen or so
appointees of the Governor by the Ha-
waiian Senate is not surprise to the
public Nor is it surprising that the Gov
ernor declines to extend the session of
the Legislature in view of the fact that
in nearly every instance where that Off
cial has ventured a suggestion he has
been repulsed. He will probably call an
extra session for the consideration of the
Appropriation BILL in which case he puts
an end to nonsense. 1t is not likely that
the officials whose names were rejected
are losing much sleep over the AFFAIR;
Governor Dole still holds the whip hand
and the men Objectionable to the Senate
may continue in office until the next Leg
islature sits. AS the Governor was sat
isfied with his appointees it is not prob
able that he prepared list OF successors
to them in anticipation of the action of
the Senate nor is It likely that he could
decide upon persons for the offices in
time for the Senate to act upon them be-
fore adjournment, so that these same
men will doubtless continue in office The
dispatch regarding bribery charges Is in
complete, inasmuch as details are omit
ted; several measures which have high
odor of job were introduced and the
charge would probably fit any of them.
The Herald "wirelessed' for further in
formation, but for some reason 1t was
impossible to get an answer before going
to press. If the charges are pressed the
public will hear more of it for, unlike the
good old days" bribery under United
States law is dealt with severely when
members of the Legislature are concern
ed in it. During the monarchy the
charge was softened somewhat by con-
sidering it merely as accepting a fee
from a client When few years ago
Jake Sharp of New York cable car fame
decided that 1t was necessary to pay for
votes, he employed several of the off,
Gals of the Assembly to handover the
cash to the members. When they were
discovered it was considered advisable by
them to spend year or so in Canada
and when they returned across the line
they were promptly jailed. This little
episode in the history of New York poll
tics is something for the Hawaiian
friends of "Col. Mazumas' to ponder
over.-Hawaii Herald.
