THE ORIENTAL CRISIS.

The danger of war in the Far East
seems to increase as the fact becomes
known to Russia that the Japanese
government wishes to avoid it. Rus
STA has apparently made up her mind
to take Korea as well as Manchuria
but has hesitated to do so in the face
of Japan's seemingly inileXible attitude.
Now that this attitude is being modi-
fled in such a fashion as to convince
Russia that, by persistence, she can
have her own way, the strain on the
situation becomes more noticeable.
Naval officers here with the fleet say
that, while the Japanese are better SOL
diers, man for man, than the Rus
slams, the preponderance of numbers,
money and equipment is on the Rus
sian side. They speak admiringly of
the manner in which Russia is playing
her great game in the East and are
certain that she will not be check
mated by any one power. Eventually
she will go to the Peiho river and take
in Picking; and as for Korea she does
not mean to let Japan deprive her of
a single advantage there. She has the
guns, the men and the cash to back
her wherever, in the Mongoloid terri
tory she wishes to go,-providing, of
course, the European powers and the
United States, let her alone. Moreover,
say our visitors, the most brilliant
statesmen of Russia are now on the
Asatic littoral guiding the course of
events.
If Japan fights, her case will be a
desperate one unless she gets COM
mand of the sea. Expert foreign opin-
ion is that Russia's available sea
strength in Far Eastern waters is now
greater than Japans and is growing;
and that Russian battleships are bet
the sunrise colors.
At the same time nobody undertakes
Japan. In n purely defensive warfare
she could hold her own even against
her great northern foe; but the trouble
is, If she makes war at all, ii must, at
the start, be an offensive one. 1t is
admitted that she will fight desperate
ly. She knows that, If she loses, she
will be thrown back on her own re-
sources, with no power TO expand ana
to get n place to put her surplus popu-
lation-one that must soon press upon

THE JONES VERDICT. syS1

The verdict of mot guilty" in the
Jones' armenter murder case is re-
garded as a miscarriage of justice.
Those who have followed the evidence
with the intellectual ability TO slft II
which serves, under our jury system,
to disquhlify them from passing Off
cially on such cases, feel sure that
Jones killed Mrs. Parmenter while
sane enough to know the difference
between right and wrong; and that
this fact ought, in fair play to society,
TO be enough to secure his conviction
and punishment. When man is sane
to the extent that after killing a per-
son he hates, he seeks to escape ana
shows a clear head in picking his
route and utilizing such chances as
offer themselves, and even schemes
adroitly to get the reward of arrest
for his family, he Is enough of moral
agent to be responsible for his acts
1t may be admitted that Jones was
eccentric and that he lacked a bal
ance wheel especially when he was
piled with liquor; but everybody who
employed him in the generation when
elapsed from the time he had the fever
which the defence said was the begin
ming in him OF insanity, regarded the
man as responsible for what he did
No one had tried to send him to the
asylum; he had had no treatment for
mental weakness; he was with us from
day to day as man among men,
If, all this time, he was out of his
head, a character privileged to do
murder and escape the consequences,
tph 10 nf
people, is in hourly peril of its life.
When a man wants to commit murder
all he needs to do is to act strangely,
prove that he was Ill in childhood, and
then go ahead and STAY. An accom-
modating jury of the sort that never
reads newspapers or forms opinions or
knows right from wrong, may be
counted on to do the rest. This. in
brief, is the lesson Of the Jones verdict,
as the intelligent public interprets 1t,
and ii points to a fatal weakness in
our jury laws, a weakness which Is
responsible for the disparity in the
United States, between some ten thou
sand murders per annum and some
three or four hundred legal executions.
Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court
has lately attacked the American jury
system on these and other grounds and
has proposed, In its place, perma-
nent bench of jurors, organized like a
bench of judges, out of like material
and as we'll paid. In ancient times
trial of offences was held before the
wise men of city; in our improved
civilization it is likely to take place
before twelve of the most irresponsible
men to be found in the lower levels of
citizenship; or If not twelve, at least
n majority out Of twelve. Because
of this the law has little terror for a
well-defended criminal. 1t even pass
es a Jones, red-handed and acute of
brain, into the ranks of injured inno-
cence. Who is the next murderer to
be sent free with a clean bill of moral
health? Perhaps another one who, in
mere insanity trial, could clear him
self as easily as Jones could from any
suspicion of mental weakness, but
who. in a criminal trial, would cite his
share of the common intirmites of
men to prove himself mentally ire
sponsible.

II Admiral Evans fleet does nothing
In regard to Colombia and returns to
Cavite as now directed, it will have
still made a record which will be help
full in backing up American diplomacy.
In naval matters mobility is power as
well as structural integrity and gun
equipment. That big fighting fleet
can be sent from one distant point to
another in a few days time arriving
with everything in repair and ready
for another long trip with possible war
at the end of it, is a fact TO be taken
account of by those who would chal-
lenge the supremacy of the United
States. Many nations have fleets that
they don't, and perhaps can't, do much
with, and the sea-going efficiency of
which is doubtful; but the United
States has pretty conclusively proved
by this time that its navy is thor
ough-going business institution.

THE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.

linc oHN4hl ana commercial ReCOrd.l
The Merchants Association is to be
congratulated upon its annual dinner.
such gatherings are all too few in
Honolulu. 1t is a good thing for peo-
pie TO get together and come into
closer touch with each other. Closer
acquaintance reveals good qualities in
ones neighbors heretofore unsuspect-
ed. AS the livest association in Homo
lulu, 1t was to be expected that the
Merchants Association would take the
lead in promoting good fellowship
among its members; but that 1t should
have brought together such an assem-
plage MS met at the Royal Hawaiian
folel on saturday night last was not
expected. To say nothing of the bene-
mt OF the merchants themselves meet
ing together it was a piece of rare
good fortune that the Association
could secure the opportunity of enter
tanning at one time the Governor,
three admirals, their aides and seven
captains of the navy and a major
general of the army.
Inc occasion was so enjoyable that
II is earnestly to be hoped not only
that the Association will continue to
make dinner one of its annual feat
ures' nut that other Associations will
adopt the same method of bringing
thelr members and DISTINGUISHED
guests together in this, the pleasant
est possible way.
All success To the Merchants Asso-
citation and Its progressive officers.

A SUGGESTION.

The abortive Jones trial cost the Ter
ritory from $1,000 to $500 and another
trial of the same man is to take place
for the murder of his former Wife,
Naturally the defence of insanity will
again be made.
Would it not be wise to have Jones
examined at once as to his mental con-
dition? If found to be insane he could
be sent, with the concurrence of the
Attorney General and the court. to the
asylum, thus saving the Territory the
cost of a criminal trial.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE IMPROVING.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE IMPROVING.
Exports OF manufactures In October
seem to show something of the expect
ed revival in that branch of our foreign
commerce. The total exports of man
ufactures in October as shown by the
reports of the Department of Com
merce and Labor through It's Bureau
of Statistics, amount to s3I,55s,6i5.
This is a larger export than in any
preceding October, except that of 1900,
and even in that banner year of ex-
ports the total was less than 100000
above that of October, 1908. The
increase over October, 1902, is about
81 SOC, 900; over October, 1901, s3,0OO,OOO,
and is more than double the total for
october OF 1893. Most of the principal
articles of manufacture show a slight
increase in October 1903 compared with
October, 1902. Agricultural imple-
ments show gain of over 100000,
compared with the same month of the
preceding year; cars and carriages,
about $4,000: clocks and watches, $i5,-
600; copper manufactures, SijOOOO sci
entific instruments, 100000; steel rails,
$4,000; wire, $4,000; sewing machines,
SIS, 900; iron and steel manufactures
of all kinds, s31S,O0O; boots and shoes,
sl56,O0O; leather of all kinds, $4,000;
mineral oil, 100000; manufactures of
tobacco $4,000; manufactures of wood.
$50 900, and manufactures of wool,
$4,000. Cotton manufactures show a
slight reduction, the total exports for
October, 1908, being s2,005, $50, against
s2,6S9,076 In october Of the preceding
year. This reduction occurs almost
exclusively in exports of cotton cloth
to China of which the total for Octo-
Der. 1903, was 9.370,600 yards, valued at
sil4,156, against 20,472,67S yards. valued
at $1,036,726, in October, 1902. The
figures for October, 1903. however COM
pare favorably with those of the cor
responding month in years preceding
1902 in which the exports of cotton
cloths to China were extraordinarily
large by reason of the small importa-
tons during the disturbances of 1901.
on the import side manufactures
show a slight decrease as compared
with October, 1902. Articles of volun-
tary use, Injuries, etc, are for October,
1903, sl1,242,4 All, against s11,676,126 in
October, 1902. Articles manufactured
ready for consumption in October 1908,
