The decision in the Smith case was
handed down late in the afternoon by
the Supreme Court. There are three
decisions. Justice Galbraith backed
the action of the Circuit Court in its
entirety. Judge Perry gave an opinion
Numerically opposed to the views of
Justice Galbraith, and considered that
the petitioner should be discharged.
Chief Justice Frear views the case
from an entirely different standpoint,
hut comes to the conclusion that con-
tempt had been committed. The Editor
of the Advertiser was consequently re-
manded to the custody of Deputy
Sheriff ChillingwOrth. But the end of
the case is not yet. Mr.. Smith lawyers
believe that there is point of Fed
eral law involved and the matter will
be brought before Judge Estee on a
writ of habeas corpus this morning
Meantime the greatest sympathy is felt
by the community at large for Mr.,
Smith, and there can be no doubt in
which direction the tide of popularity
is setting. 1t is certainly not in the
direction of the judiciary building.

COQUETTING

There seems to be some idea that
Judge Humphreys is looking with only
half-averted eyes at nomination from
the Home Rule party as our Delegate
TO Congress. 1t is even pointed out
that the apostacy of John Wise and
John E. Bush from the Democratic
party is due to this attitude of the
judge. The judge would follow their
apostacy by becoming a Home Ruler
and quitting the Republican party, if
he could be sure of the nomination, but
he by no means wishes to show his
hand yet This is at all events what
the long-sighted politicians claim, and
they are beginning to carefully nose
round and calculate how the cat will
jump.
1t is very evident that something has
startled Wilcox in Washington or he
would not be Fastening back to look
after his nomination. He has been 50
accustomed to see his dupes follow him
blindly that it must come as some
what of a shock to him to find that
there is a division in the camp and
that there may be still further division.
The younger element among the Home
Rule party sees that such a position as
Delegate is very desirable one, and
moreover one that carries both patron
age and credit if it be properly used.
Many of them feel that they know
more than Wilcox ever knew, and that
they have more ability. Among this
from Wilcox, and if a young leader
could be decided upon, there would be
a strong effort to secure his nominal
ton. 1t is not hard for a looker-On to
designate the man with the strong
aspirations and the backing. The de-
veIopment will come in time, however,
ana 1t would be pity to spoil a pretty
game.
There is thus every chance of there
being a three-cornered fight When it
comes TO the nomination Of candidate
tor Delegate by the Home Rule party
The work of the tmn-coat Democrats
Wise and Bush, will become apparent
soon. Keep their workings as close
as they may, the results of their work
are bound to come out, indeed there
are Home Rulers who openly and free
ly talk of the plans of the turn-coats,
and the coquetting of the First Judge
of the First Circuit Court. So Wise
and Bush may not be the only political
turn-cOats.

The Internal Revenue taxes are not
likely to be as large this year as last.
Many of the small retail stores in the
country took out retail federal licenses
under the impression that such a
license did away with the necessity of
Territorial license. This has been
practically Illustrated to be a misap-
prehension. This will doubtless effect
the return in this direction. With re-
gard to the pawnbroker's license, the
Territorial law is dead letter. There
should be two or three licenses taken
out at $3.50 a piece PawnbrOking is
carried on in this city and the un-
licensed pawnbroker charges what he
practically pleases to the unfortunate
impecunious fly which gets into his
web. There have been cases where 60,
10, 100 ana l20 per cent per annum have
been charged, and jewelry much in eX-
cess of the value of the loan has been
taken in pledge. AS the Federal
government requires a license, as well
as the Territory, there is a chance that
the Internal Revenue men may pounce
down upon some of the Illicit pawn
brokers.

LOCAL SCIENCE.

The L. :. AlbarOss has had Il very
satisfactory months work among the
smaller Islands and shoals which form
the continuation Of the Hawaiian chain
to the northward. a large part of the
work has consisted of taking sound
ings, but specimens of birds have been
obtained and there have also been some
searching Investigations into the fish
life, which of course is the main feature
OF the Albatross' expedition, though to
use a truism, "all is fish that comes in
to the scientific net of the party"
There is only one Island to the north
of us, Laysan, which at present is in
habited, though when the Mackay ca
bles is laid Midway Island may have
it's quota of American citizens. Laysan
undoubtedly belongs to the Territory,
but Midway does not, at least it used
to be under the American flag when it
was a coaling station years ago. Mid
way Island must be in the same cate
CORY as several small Islands scatter
ed about the Pacific over which the
American flag has been raised.

OF this kind between two departments
of the government. Superintendent
Boyd is certainly a most able and eff
cient head of a department. He is
quite as anxious as the members of the
Board of Health can be over the sani-
tary condition of the city. He is ham
pered for funds, but he has done Won
ders with the funds that have been
available. The work done upon the
Kewalo ditch or drain will stand as a
monument not only to Mr.. Boyds en-
ergy, but to his diplomacy and his de-
sire to make that portion of the town
sanitary 1t is easy enough for the
Board of Health to condemn a district
as it did Kewalo but it is quite another
thing to hustle for the money and then
arrange for crossing the lands of recall
citrant landholders. When man has
worked as hard and as successful as
the superintendent of Public Works
has he takes it all if there seems ever
to be desire to thwart and criticize
rather than to assist from what ought
to be a friendly department.

baseless speculation upon what our
volcanoes will do, and what they will
not do. There are any quantity of
theories mathematical physical, astro-
logical, historical and hysterical. Tues
day an ebb of the wind blew some
ashes from a rubbish pile into the air,
and forthwith there were many people
who were certain that Honolulu was
going to be buried in volcanic ash. Of
course the matter is laughable enough,
but it shows the nervous mental con-
dition that many of our people are in.
