of Gen. Grant. this force was sen to
clear the Valley Of Virginia; not only
CT armed foes. but Of all provisions.
That campaign was war in all its
cruelty. for It brought ruin 10 crops,
and suffering to defenseless women
and children. But as a war measure
it was deemed a necessity. because
that fertile valley furnished all OF the
food supplies for Lees army. Con
federate soldiers to-day look upon that
campaign as a war measure. but the

name Of Sheridan because of the suf-

CHANGES IN
CAR SERVICE
New Schedules of the
Rapid Transit
Company.

The Rapid Transit contemplates a
change in the way their cars are run
ming, which will give the same service
and yet do away with two cars. In
allowing people from the plains to con-
meet with Valley cars without any
waits. Only few minor changes have
to be made and Manager Ballentyne
expects to be having the change made
by the middle of January. He explained
what the changes were to be as fol-
lows:
1.-The Punahou cars will come into
town by way of Beretania and Fort
Streets, instead of by Alapai and Hotel.
The route will be from Pawaa juno
pumping station at the corner of Be
retania and Alapai. Instead of continu-
ing as at present down A1apai, passing
the car barn. we will turn on to Bere-
tania street to Fort street, and down
Fort to Allen street which win be the
terminus of that line. This will con-
tinue to be ten minute service.
There will be a change also in the
Beretania street line. These cars will
come in as far as Alapai street (the
pumping station). They will turn down
that street to Hotel street, and through
Hotel and King streets and up Liliha.
All cars leaving the Pawaa junction at
the east end of the line will run through
to the intersection of Liliha and Wyllie
streets, leaving the Pawaa junction
every twenty minutes. Every alter
nate car leaving Wyllie street will run
through to the Pawaa junction, and
the other cars will run through as far
| as the Palace walk switch, opposite the
Executive building. This will give a
ten minute service between Wyliie
street and the Palace switch, and a
twenty minute service between the
Palace switch and the Pawaa junction.
Heretofore the Nuuanu valley cars
have run down Fort street to Allen. to
the Honolulu Iron Works. Hereafter
| these cars will run to King street only
on Fort street, and turn back from that
point.
ttThe Alakea street cars, instead of
turning back as at present at the Fish
market, will continue through to the
Hon olulu Iron Works.
in making these changes we have
two objects in view: First. the public
convenience; and second, the saving in
the operation of the cars, for by this
change two cars are cut out of the Nj
uanu street line, while continuing to-
give a zen minute service

view of the further fact that the Legis-
lature Of the Territory is about to as
semble. it is respectfully submitted that
nc action should now be taken by the
court under which existing conditions
should be disturbed. Should it be held
that the Pacific Club is liable, in the
| same breath the court would convict
these high officials of dereliction of du-
ty. If, on the contrary, the club should
be held to be not responsible and the
/ continent of the public today is that it
should pay the license the incoming
Legislature can make suitable provi-
{; sion therefor
| Quoting many decisions in support of
his contention. the brief issues this
warning to the District Magistrate.
Before concluding this crude present
alton of our views on this subject we
desire to request that this court shall
pay no attention to any argument
which may be advanced that the de-
cision should be in favor of the Terri
tory, because decision in favor of
the club cannot be appealed by the Ter
ritory. This court has certain duties
to perform, amongst those duties is one
to decide in favor of a defendant unless
the guilt of that defendant be estab-
lished beyond a reasonable doubt. A
decision in favor of the defendant may
not be appealed by the Territory, but
this rule should not interfere with the
court doing what it considers to be
right and just in the premises. Any
judge who shall hold a defendant to
be guilty when he believes that guilt
has not been esta blished beyond a reas-
enable doubt solely because the prose-
cution may appeal, violates his oath of
office and has no right to fulfill the du-
ties of Judge. We trust the Terri
tory will not request this court to hold
the defendant in this case liable be-
cause it may be expedient to have the
legal questions involved tested by the
Supreme Court. If, however. such ar
gument be advanced we emphatically
assert that the Judge of the court vie-
lates his oath of office if he decides
against the club solely on this ground"
Attorney General Andrews is engaged
in the preparation of his brief, which
will probably be filed within few
days.
