The great question about the spuri-
GUS coin which has been found in cir
culation here is whether a forging es-
tablishment has been set up in the Ter
ritory or whether the spurious coin
comes from China. In view of the fact
that there must be an extensive plant
it is more reasonable to think that this
coin is manufactured in China and is
brought across the Pacific for dlstribu-
ton here and on the mainland. The
Federal authorities will use every
nerve to ferret out this matter, and as
soon as intelligence reaches San Fran
cisco every additional assistance will
be given.

WORK OVER.

The Senatorial Committee has closed
its sittings, and the mass of Informal
ton, contrary statements, complaints,
counter complaints, petitions, memo
randay examinations, recriminations,
truth, half-truth and fiction has now
been gathered together and will be stiff
ed. No wonder after sitting through
hour after hour of the sessions one of
the> Senators remarked that he had
never seen such a collection of cranks
in the whole course of his life WheE
told that he had by no means seen them
ALL he expressed himself as satisfied
with therspeGimens he had seen, and
thanked his stars that the sessions were
over.

SUSPICIOUS.

The total amount of the defalcations
of Treasurer Wright have been dis
covered. The sum of money that has
disappeared is $4,000, The natural
question is what could Wright have
done with it. Wright has given no
signs of being an eXtravagant man.
His house has been conducted upon a
modest scale. He has not driven fast
horses, he has not been a gambler or
led fast life, he is not known to lave
gone into stocks to any great extent,
and yet he has defalcated to the eX-
tent Of $4,000. He has thrown good
name away and has ruined a reputa-
ton which stood high in the COM
munity.
While we reprobate, and 1t is our
duty to reprobate the eX-Treasurer
conduct, we cannot help feeling sorry
that a young man of such bright prom
Use. Of such brilliant opportunities,
should have succumbed to temptation.
This is said with no idea of palliating
his conduct, for that cannot be palliat-
ed. The higher and more responsible
the position is which man holds, the
deeper his crime. But it is said in
honest sorrow at seeing such a man
fall into temptation and utterly ruin
his future,
In the course of the investigation
which must be instituted, it should GER
tainly be sought to locate in what
direction this $4,000 of public money
went. 1t has been suggested where it
might have gone and apparently did
not, 1t must be found out where it did
go. Some people are very much of the
opinion that Wright was only cats
paw. and he did not put the money to
his own use, but to the use of other
people. If this could be discovered,
though it would be difficult to discover,
clue could be found not only to the
reason of Wrlght's action, but a flood
of light would be cast upon the actions
of others, and certain nefarious
schemes which can now be only guess
ed at now, would then become as patent
as day.
1t is certainly a very legitimate in
ference that the case of b. Haywood
Wright, accused of embezzlement in
the office of the superintendent of
Public Works, has a bearing upon eX-
Treasurer Wrights action. b. Hay
wood Wright's case comes up on Sat
urday. The ex-Treasurer makes con-
fession of his crime on Tuesday, and
skips the country upon Wednesday.
Why was that confession made? Az
examination of the Treasurers books
would have shown that everything was
in order. There must have been some
thing between the adjournment of
Wrights trial on Monday, and Tues
day afternoon which forced the con-
fessioh Rumors of what B. Haywood
Wright had threatened were current in
town; had the ex-Treasurer received
more definite information, and if so
from what source?
OF course it is easy to be wise after
the event 1t is easy to say now that
the Territory should have been protect
ed by the Treasurer having a bond.
The law never required the Treasurer
to give a bond, it never required Min
lister of Finance under the monarchy or
under the Republic to give a bond. 1t

Seeing that at the last election over
$500 voters cast their ballots, docu-
ments signed by eight or nine hundred
alleged voters such as were presented
by young Kalauokalani to the Sena-
torial Committee yesterday do not car
ry so very much weight, Even if all
the signers were really voters, which
is doubtful, they represented less than
ten per cent of the voters of the total
vote of the Territory. The popularity
of the petitions is very doubtful.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-09-26

was but natural in changing from the
Independent Republic to the Territory
that precedent in this line should be
followed. When we consider the long
line of Finance Ministers, stretching
back for half century, from none OF
whom a bond was exacted we can
readily understand how the Organic
Act failed to call for bond. In point
of fact the Finance Minister and the
Treasurer, who is his direct successor,
was never supposed to have the actual
charge of money. The Registrar Of
Public Accounts has always had direct
charge Of the coin in the Treasury, and
he has always been under bonds. 1t is
only by a curious train of circumstan-
ces that ex-Treasurer Wright had a
sum of money actually in charge and
under his control. Had Governor Dole
called upon William II. Wright for
bonds when he was nominated for Of
flee, there would have been the widest
kind of a howl about the injustice of
such an act, about autocratic methods,
about discrimination. The very men
who are arguing that bonds should
have been asked for, would have been
the first to raise the howl. The fault,
if fault there was lies with the Organ
ic Act, but fifty years of honesty in
the Finance office lulled even the most
suspicious of statesmen into security.
1t is, however, no use thinking over
a thing which is passed and done with.
William II. Wright was tempted and
fell. B. Haywood Wright was tempted
and fell also. The discovery of these
defalcations has come as a tremendous
blow to the community. 1t is a blow
of far greater strength than can be
measured by mere money loss. It's re-
suits will be far reaching, and it is in
the utter lack of confidence that they
will be most felt.
The restoration of confidence is the
most vital thing at the present time.
One step towards this restoration of
confidence is the complete investigation
of the conduct of all officials connected
with the two departments, and as
things now stand, with the Auditors
department as well, which has now
come under serious charges that make
it's work seem perfunctory if nothing
else. The hope of the country lies in
the Governor. He has to use his pow
er to the utmost. There can be no shn-
ly-shallying. We must either have a
thorough clearing up, or we shall
plunge into a swamp which we cannot
get out of for years. 1t is the duty of
all men who hope for clean govern
ment, who desire the advancement of
the Territory to stand by the Governor
1t is not a question of politics, it is not
a question of personality, 1t is a broad
question which calls for the highest
and the lowest in the social scale, the
wealthiest and the poorest in the Ter
ritory to join in phalanx and stand
firmly behind the man who can act in
this crisis. This is time when bodies
which do not act politically, should
express themselves for it is a time when
honesty meets dishonesty, and when
drastic measures must be taken. The
Stars watchword is Restore Conf
dence and the man who can help us
to restore confidence needs the moral
support of every honest man in the
community.

One strong impression has been made
upon the members of the committee and
that is that the much maligned sugar
raisers are by no means as black as
they are painted. 1t has been remarked
that they were the only people who had
done anything towards building up the
Territory. 1t was true that they had
formed corporations, but under the
circumstances how else could they de-
Velop the resources of the Territory.
The work of the committee is over,
We have now to watch for the result.
There will by no means be what the
aforesaid "cranks" hope for. They
have been heard, the disgruntled have
been heard, the wheat will be winnow-
ed from the trash, and the upshot will
be a few sensible changes, which all
men who have the interest of the Ter
ritory at heart will acquiece in and be
satisfied with.
