The grand jury at Wailuku failed on
last Friday to return a true bill against
young John Holt, charged with man.
slaughter. This Is as 1t should be.
While defending himself from the as.
saults of Chinaman, the latter was
thrown, and in falling sustained such
injuries that he died. 1t was charged
that Holt struck his victim with a
evidence presented before the grand
jury.

The departure of the Gilbert Island
ers for home removes an unseemly
page from the history of plantation la
Dor schemes in these Islands. These
poor people were brought here under
contract, with the distinct agreement
that they would be returned safely to
their island country. They were not
returned but were left stranded on the
beach, to make hats, fish and yearn
for their homes as did the Hebrews for
the flesh-pots of Egypt. Many of
them died of exposure and broken
hearts in this strange land, but the re-
turn of some to the land of their child
hood and loved ones removes to some
extent the stain of this base iniquity.
j. w. Pratt, Republican candidate
for Assessor, is becoming quite "stren.
uous" in his campaign. For some time
it has been known that his clerks were
being used as spies to look up weak
points in Pratts breastworks and to
report the places requiring special or
particularly hard work. By the COM
munity this has been taken with
smile as the work of an overgrown kid
ButsPr is now carrying the thing
among the shoals. He has fallen into
the habit of running to his superior,
Treasurer Kepoikai, with explanations
when criticized or jollied. Worse yet.
he is getting after employees of men
who see fit to express themselves as
not in favor of him. High Sheriff
Brown was raked over few days ago
because one of his employees expressed
himself as being opposed to Pratt. The
owner of leading restaurant received
note from Pratt protesting against
the opposition of one of his employees.
These are but two of many instances
that go to make Pratt's campaign one
of the funny kind.

John Wise and Edgar Caypless had
no business on the platform at Bethel
and Hotel streets Saturday evening.
The meeting had been announced as
one under the auspices of the Young
Mems Republican Club and the action
of Wise in capturing it was neither
dignified nor fair Hoodlum Birbe was
out with chip on his shoulder, how
ever, and his insult to Mr.. Caypless
was one of the ugly features, of the
evening. The Home Rule candidate
did the only thing left to selfrespect'

should have punched a hole through it.
In bold defiance OF the commands ol

The Republicans made a desperate
attempt to break up the Home Rule
meeting at Laie Saturday evening, but
made signal failure. A special train
was chartered to take the people of
the village, free of charge, to the Re-
publican meeting at Waialua. A spread
and free beer were offered as induce.
ment. Some of the riff-raff of the place
accepted the bait, but the substantial
people of the neighborhood declined to
be led away in such a manner The
Home Rule meeting was a great sue.
cess, satisfactory in every way.
We are forced again to disagree
with our correspondent Ahuimaia,
when he reckons l.. A. Andrews as a
better man for Sheriff of East Hawaii
than Captain Keolanui. 1t is quite
true that the Home Rule candidate is
not strong in one way, but he has
common sense, has had experience and
is humane. If Andrews has common
sense he has failed to display it, his
experience has done him no good, and
he Is as inhumane as a Turkish thug.
He might well be left at home but,
really, the best place for him is in Jail.
A movement is on foot to publish
broadcast throughout the United States
a warning to Catholics not to visit the
Bishop Museum in Honolulu. We think
this is carrying matters little far,
but are the Catholics to be blamed for
it? Most certainly not. The trustees
of the Bishop Estate insist upon keep
ing man there as curator whose chief
business it is to revile the memory of
the late Father Damien, a man who
gave his life upon an altar in such
way as to win for him the plaudits, the
admiration and the love of the Chris
tian world.

SLAVERY, THE LAW, THE JURY.

Notwithstanding the straight and sharp
talk OF the judge the federal jury in Ala
bama has again disagreed in what is prob
ably the most Migrant Of the peonage cases
in that State. Here lies the great difficulty
in the way of breaking up this fragrant sys-
tenn of modern slavery. The facts were be-
yond dispute. Fletcher Turner and his re-
tainers had held the negro in bondage on
one pretense or another, and, when he es-
capped. had gone to another plantation,
seized him and carried him back and con-
tinued to hold him in bondage No denials
of these facts were entered for the facts
were known of all men of the vicinity. Yet
the jury disagreed on the question Of fact.
Judge Jones lectured the members severely,
pointing out the meaning Of their oath and
showing conclusively that by thus failing in
their duty they must stand perjured in the
sight of all men. He sent them back to de-
liberate. and now they return with the
same disagreement.
If the remedy for illicit slavery cannot be
found in the federal courts of Alabama and
Georgia, it looks like very difficult propo-
S.llOH 10 HdHuie uHuer our System VI AcS
government. The local courts are known to
be in sympathy with the slavemakers, and.
indeed, are extensively used by them to OBJ
tain convictions on trumped-up charges. In
order to give some show OF pretense for
throwing negroes into slavery. The whole
situation points again to the greatest weak
ness of our form of government. namely,
the difficulty of reaching and Furnishing a
crime where 1t Is the crime OF community
instead of an individual. This We have had
exemplified frequently in cases of whitecap-
ping, lynching and other outrages against
law and order. where a whole community
appears so lost to proper sense of justice
that the local machinery of the law seems
paralyZed.

L. n. French, editor of the Alexandria
Tribune, who was here yesterday to attend
the meeting of the prison reform board,
enjoys the distinction of having been the
original Durbin man in the Republican
gubernatorial campaign three years ago.
Over year before the convention of 1900
Mr. French ran an editorial in his paper
urging Mr.. Durbin for the nomination. He
sent marked copies of that issue to every
newspaper in Indiana, and within forty
eight hours some comment, either favor
able, sarcastic or adverse, had appeared in
the papers of every section of the State
relative to the Durbin boom. AS a result
Mr.. Durbn found that he had received in a
very few hours an amount of publicity that
he could not ordinarily have obtained in
the course of several months. The sequel
is well-known.
Mr.. French says little interest is being
taken in politics in Alexandria at present
although there is some talk of opposition to
Representative Cromer. Il believe that DIR.
Sharpe, of Wells county, will give CromeT
a formidable fight next year." he said.

REVIEWED BY M. LOUBET
GARRISON OF PARIS PARADED BE-
FORE THE PRESIDENT.
Later saIuted by SantOs-Dumont. Who
Was Sailing His Airship Above
the Longchamp Field.

PARIS, July l4.-The French national
holiday was enthusiastically celebrated to-
day in brilliant weather. The main feature
was a review of the garrison of Paris. The
troops assembled at Longchamp at an early
hour before the heat became oppressive.
Many spectators witnessed the arrival OF the
soldiers cheering the favorite corps as they
reached the grounds. At o'clock an artil-
lery salute announced the arrival OF Presi-
dent Loubet, who was accompanied by Pre-
mier Combes and other Cabinet ministers.
Madame Loubet soon followed and the re-
view commenced. ending with the usual dis
tribution of decorations.
A novel incident of the review was the ap-
pearance of Santos-D umont in an airship
over Longchamp. He saluted the President
with three strident blasts from the whistle
of his motor and with a salvo OF revolver
shots Then, amid the applause of the spec
tators. the aeronaut sailed off rapidly to his
headquarters at Puteaux.
The heat was tempered by a cool breeze.
Parisians and many visitors from the
burbs and neighboring parts of the province
crowded the streets and bouvelards. which
were gaiy adorned with flags. the stars and
stripes mingling in the decorations. The
Government and other theaters which gave
free matinees were densely crowded. The
open-air performance in the square in front
of Victor Hugo's residence was well at

many points in the streets. IL notice.
able that the fete was accompanied by more
popular enthusiasm than has accompanied
any celebration in recent years.
This evening the streets OF Paris were
thronged with merry crowds dancing 10 the
music furnished by bands stationed at most
of the cross ways. A feature of these open
air balls was the popularity OF the cake

private buildings were brilliantly illumni-

GREENCASTLE, Ind, July H.-After al
most three months of the most skillful eff
fort to divert suspicion, Henry NJ Seward
this afternoon arrested in the coro-
ner's Office and charged with the murder,
in the first degree, of his wife. When the
officers hand closed on his arm Seward
said: II hope to God you have evidence
enough to hang me-" He has not confessed
the murder, but this remark is taken as
evidence that whether guilty or not he has
been under terrific strain during the
period that has elapsed since the murder,
and is ready to take punishment for it,
whether he should or not.
He has been called to town by the coro-
ner, DIR. j. NJ. King, and the prosecutor.
Smith G. MatsOn, almost every day since
the body of his wife was reported by Sew
ard to have been found by him in their bed
room on the evening of Saturday, May 20.
Suspected by some from the first, he has
steadily upheld his innocence, but circum-
stances one by one accumulated against
him, and now he will have to prove his in
nocence In the face of a mass Of circum-
stantial evidence that would alarm any
person. 1t seems, far as the public can
learn, to have been mainly a process of
elimination that has been used by the Of
ficers, and that Seward is the last person
on the list. There are possibly many SEN
sational features that the public has not
yet learned, for the officers refuse abso-
lutely to talk on the subject. The most in
teresting of the elements in the case is the
claim that the crime was modelled after
one that is described in detective story
found i'm Stewards home, a statement that
is true, and also the claim that a letter
received by Seward from Terre Haute
since, signed Frank Wilson," was written
by Seward himself and addressed 10 him
self at Lena, where he did not ordinarily
get his mail The letter referred to the
murder and laid sIspicion at several doorc
but it was not believed by the officers, and
they have been seeking to show that Sew
ard himself wrote the letter.
The trial of the case will occur in the
September term of the Putnam Circuit
Court. and will be the most sensational af-
