ed, when it is decently expounded

and debased, then it is that public

derision.

Such a feeling against the highest
branch OF the judiciary should not
have emanated at all from without,
but such as it is, it is to bs deplored
that this feeling was brought about
be past actions that cannot be too
lightly denied and set aside by a
wave OF the hand.

Personal feeling aud animosity
should not be weighed in the scale
OF justice nor allowed to fawn in

be abave all. When duty calls, all
should be on the alert to be up aud

DIsGRAoEFUL TO BEHOLD.

Looking at the proceedings dur
ing the hearing OF arguments in the
contempt case yesterday, it dawned
upon US to wonder why the At
torney- Generals department did
not appear in it. That department
being a coordinate branch Of the
judiciary should, by all means, have
taken the matter in hand instead Of
members of the bar and bench.
From our way OF thinking, it
should have been represented at
that hearing yesterday. But in
stead, it chose TO absent itself, never
even having the courtesy to send
one OF its many satellites.
This course shows that that de-
partment is antagonistic and un-
friendly to the occupants of the
Circuit Court branch OF the judi
ciary, which we think that it should
not be so. 1t is disgraceful to be-
hold such conduct and feeling
among our officials, and very nice
state OF affairs for outsiders to look
upon.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-03-14

Is it because that the Circuit
judges are Presidential appointees
that the Territorial Attorney Gen
eral should take no cognizance or
notice of thema For our part, all
the more reason why the judges
should receive more consideration
from our local officials, although
they may be carpetbaggers.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-03-14

That department should have, by
al means, taken the initiative, but
instead, it was left for others to. do.
1t was very shameful, to say the
least, but was likewise humiliating
aud conciliatory towards melting out
justice and upholdng judicial aud
legal dignity and integrity.
