other Islands, which has been done at
this election, Wilcox would have been
defeated in 1900.
The outlook is now very much bright

majority in the two districts of Oahu,
and there will be a big majority upon
the other Islands. The Republican who
has taken a bet that the Prince will
have majority of 1000 is very likely to
win his bet and something over

The fire of this morning in which two

person has died since, is one of
the most appalling local calamties

burning house either to obtain some
clothes or some valued relic. At this

* SERIOUS CESE.

has followed and he is now held in
bail to await action of the grand jury
upon a criminal charge. This is the
history of the circumstances which led
up to this event. Viewing the matter
apart from all prejudice the verdict
must be that the Governor did his duty
under most trying circumstances and
that he did it fearlessly, knowing the
consequences of his act. He vindicat-
ed his oath of office, and he set himself
clearly before the community and the
world that he was set against all mall
feasance in Office and would not toler-
ate it in the slightest degree. He has
the whole business community at his
back.
There is no political aspect to this
matter. 1t was the aim of certain in
terested parties to try and make it APP
pear so. That there is no political bias
is shown by the fact that Boyd found
his bail among prominent Republicans
who are taking the most active interest
in the campaign. 1t will have no influ-
ence upon the campaign. There are
some who expressed the idea that the
action was premature, and that it
should have been delayed till after the
election. This is to degrade the cleo
torate. No electors are going to cast
their votes adversely to the Repub-
lican party, simply because an official
has fallen under suspicion and has been
arrested This would be to charge our
electors with being willing to support
fraud with their votes, and to cover up
crime at the ballot box.
No, the Boyd case will be examined
thoroughly by the grand jury, and all
the allied cases, for one may say that
the cases in the Treasury and in the
Public Works Department, dovetail in
to one another and presumably en-
enate from one and the same source.
The Investigations of the grand jury
Will commence next week, and their
probing into these cases will be most
thorough. Till the results of that in
vestigation are made public, there will
be no means of being absolutely certain
of any individual guilt, but enough has
now been developed to show that there
has been the most utter lack of system
in caring for public moneys, that they
have not been turned in when they
should, and that there has undoubtedly
been some criminality somewhere
Whatever may be any ones personal
feeling towards James NJ. Boyd, and
however popular he may have BEEN
suspicion has so fallen upon him that
there was nothing else to be done than
the course followed, and on calm
thought, there is not right thinking
man in the community who will not
agree to it. In such matters it is not
paltering, or violating which can be
allowed. 1t is a case of right and
wrong. 1t is case where every mem
baT of the community must demand
justice against Wrong-doers and pro-
lection for the public funds

ROOSEVELT AND MORGAN.

Wouldn't the sovereign American
citizen just enjoy getting a swipe at
Morgan in person or by proxy at the
polls? 1t would never get to the cleo
ton. If it We're known that the gres
trust promoter wanted to defeat Roose-
Vels nomination the latter would get
the delegates from every state in the
Union.-DeCatuT Qll) Herald.
1t isn't altogether easy to check off
the qualities which make Roosevelt,
the man, admired even by those who
have no sympathy with the policies of
Roosevelt, the Pres lent but, perhaps,
the first in point OF ffectiveness is sin

he does, it is the belief of an enormous
majority of Americans that he says it
or does it in the absolute conviction of
right.-Detroit News.

When Treasurer Wright skipped the
country the Star urged that all the
public accounts should be thoroughly
Overhauled. The advice was followed
and results have followed, The defal-
cations of 3. Haywood Wright led tc
the enquiry into the Treasury which
was promptly followed by w. II
wrights confession and flight Then
followed the investigation into the af-
fairs of the office of the Superintendent
of Public Works, and the discovery of
considerable sums of money unaccount-
ed for in the books of the office, though
mention of the transactions occurred
in letters. But where the money was
deposited. or why it was deposited out
side of the treasury there was nothing
10 show.
When w. il. Wright escaped to San
Francisco, he was in charge not only
of his own Office, but also was in
charge Of the Department of Public
Works. His flight threw the latter
department into confusion, because
it was impossible to pay the EN-"
ployes of the Department. unless some
one had official authority to sign the
pay rolls thus Henry e. Cooper took
charge of the Public Works. The dis
covery Of the loose manner in which
the public cash had been handled in the
department led to a more stringent
search, and discoveries of such a char
acter were made, that they were
brought to the notice of the Governor.
Mr.. Boyd was written for to return
from san Francisco, and upon his ar
rival the Governor formulated certain
questions which he considered and
rightly considered, should be answered.
These questions Mr.. Boyd evaded, but
during the day of October p he turned
in cash to the treasury amounting in
all to about six thousand dollars. This
cash. it must be observed was not paid
in as soon as Mr.. Boyd became aware
that his accounts were under suspicion,
but it was paid in after several inter-
views.
During the day of October Is, MI
-htSV the uGpuLy duuilOIt inter NlGN-
ed Mr., Boyd for the purpose of check
ing up the payments made by Mr..
Boyd on the q, and discovering to
what accounts they Should be credited
Among the sums paid in no mention
was made of 81, $50 which Boyd had re-
ceivcd from DIR. Cooper in June last.
The Governor had asked for an explain
alton, his request was treated flippant-
ly and was avoided. Having been I'M
able to get satisfaction what could
the Governor do but act as he did? Mr..
Boyd was, to put it mildly, open to
grave suspicion. The Governor owes a
duty to the people of the Territory and
the President of the United States, and
as no satisfactory explanation was
given, James H. Boyd, the Superinten-
dent of Public Works, was suspended.

afternoon at the home of Mr.. Thomas
M. Andrews, 45 Lindsey avenue. Col.

for several weeks past locating some
coal lands. He was sick when he came
here, and he at once went to his bed
