A Complicated Case.

The record breaking case OF Ka-
niniu VS.. Kalai, suit to aet aside a
deed which has occupied the atten-
tion of Judge Robinson for the pact
two weeks came to a standstill yes.
terday just when the case was
thought to have been closed. After
both sides had closed their case and
both attorneys were ready for argu
ment, Attorney Peterson offered to
introduce three deeds OF the proper.
ty in dispute conveying the land
from the defendant to her three
children Attorney FL. w. Robinson
objected TO the introduction OF any
such thing and claimed that the de-
iendaDt was barred from showing
having admitted on demurrer and
in the answer that she owned the
land. He contended that the leases
should have been offered at the be-
ginning OF the suit as bar to the
action of the plaintiff and asked
leave to amend the petition so as to
include the present alleged owners
OF the land. Judge Robinson allow.

necessary to try the case again

Rumor is current again as to that
old chestnut that If the Republican
party be defeated at the polls dur
lug the coming fall election, parti-
cularly the Dole faction coupled
with the missionary wing, they,
those composing that faction and
wing together, will fall back to
their Old devilish game OF resorting
to the services OF Colonel Mszlma,
should that worthy turn up and be
on hand again, to use the native
members when elected, There may
be certain members who are easy
prey and pliable enough to be
twisted here and there as is claimed
to have been the case heretofore,
but we doubt whether the compost
tion of the next crowd will be the
same as .ho,e OF the last crew. If
this is so, better go slow, otherwise
you may be bitten hard and be
made to gulp more than you bar
gained for, yes, even more than y-u
can aft to bite and chew.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

know the reason why about 1900
Invitations to the Fourth OF July
ball were withdrawn some days ago
from the Postoffice. OF course we
are as usual very inquisitive to
know the why's and wherefores.

every liberty loving citizen who lie
tired of being bullied by the Exc
cutive building OF Honolulu or the
White House OF Washington. 1t
should be the platform around
which shall rally all Hawsiians
who resent the threats OF disfran-
chisement and autocratic rule.
That manifesto contains the
secret of the situation:
"These subjects placed before US
are clear and prehensive. On
one side the oligarchy with its
limited supporters, backed by the
rich Of the Territory and support
ing the Governor in his admins
tration against the wishes of the
people in their desire to frame
their own destiny; on the other,
the great majority of the voters
who are ready and anxious to
forge ahead and to secure the
rights aud privileges of good citi-
zenship which has come to us
through the changes which have
obtained during the past two years"
Such talk is manly and sincere
and will be appreciated by the cleo
torate on the great day when the
battle of ballots takes place.
1t behooves the Hawaiians,
whether Republicans, Democrats
or Home Rulers, to leave their
political affiliations aside, until the
time when we shall have to elect
Delegate for Congress. What
we want now is a good legislature.
a. body of men Of sterling quail
ties who will not take their in
s!ructions either at the Executive
building or at Central Union
Church, but among their consti-
tuents. We want such Legisla-
ture that will show the President
as eloquently as possible that all
the Republican rot about disfran-
chisement will not deter Hawaiians
from acting and voting as free and
independent citizens OF an alleged
free and independent country.
So much for the manifesto.
Then, We had the periodical fit of
the star,the champion and biograph
of Sanford Ballard Dole. "Tbe
Governor is not a factor in the
ISSUE" says the bright luminary of
the evening stellar constellation.
No? Well, WE'LL. We remember,
though, reading something to the
same effect in the columns OF the
evening Star some time previous to
and since the last bye election. We
have faint recollection that the
Star solemnly asserted, then, that
the result of the election in the
fourth district could not in any
way reflect upon Governor Dole
And still when the votes had been
cast and coun ted, and w. w. Harris
declared elected, the Star joined ite
morning missionary brother to sing
and shout the glad tidings of the
great Dole victory and vindication
OF course, Governor Dole now i,
relegated to the role of the Sphynx

The pot is boiling, indeed. The
advise given few days ago to the
Hawaiian people, through these
columns, has stirred up a hornets
nest in the Republican camp, and
Republican soldiers are making a
lively run for places in Republic
an fighting ranks.
Yesterday was full of sensation

and each one has it's significance
First, we have the arrival home OF
our Delegate to Congress ready to
take up the fight once more on be-

Emmeluth and d. Kanuha.

Our surmise the other day about
the proposed trip of the Rev. Canon
Macintosh to San Francisco seems
to have struck home as being a
thrust we'll aimed. We do hope
that Bishop Restarick, after his
conservation today, will take time
by the forelock and withhold the
giving away OF any patronage to
any ambitious clergyman without
first knowing the situation for him
self. And we would take it upon
ourselves to say that the Rev Canon,
if made Dean, would be most
dangerous person to Church unity
and harmony, as the past will show
to be only too we'll founded.

thing indicated such lightcrop
of candidates that we were
very much surprised to find
more than one aspirant for each
desirable Office and none for at
least four. Some weeks later
the second man appeared tor
an office. This week we are
told of two candidates for dis
trict and county clerk, another
for county Judge and the follow

r. M. Peeler, Frank Smith, Tom
Rowan, j. L. Prichard, B. G. Tay

not otherwise. We shall be
