Mr.. Andrews has told his friends of
his proposed departure for Washington
next week. We think he had better re-
main here. 1t is said that he is wanted
as witness in the George Davis dis
barment case. His presence would al.
so be desirable in the case of Kepoikai
VS.. Fisher, in which he should be put
upon the witness stand that the public
may know the ins and outs of the Ke-
poikai matter. The Attorney General
may, however, prefer to eat crow, let
the $3.50 bill be paid and maintain an
undignified silence as to its holdup
while $4,000 have been paid in similar
cases within the six months and with.

all the more reason for eliminating the
item from our bill of expenses. The
National Guard-or the Honolulu part
of it-should be cut out anyway. Fed
eral troops are kept here for the pur-
pose of preserving the peace, and local
militia is a useless institution. The
only thing to be realized from the
National Guard, the way matters now
stand, is to give a few uniformed Off.

secretary's signature, who would not
be known IL he did not place the prefix

The Cloud In The Orient.

II reports are only half true, Japan
is certainly making q most spirited at
tack on Russia The campaign seems
to have been most carefully planned
or, at least the part of it that has al
ready been carried out-and the move
ments of the divisions are like clock
work. 1t is now absolutely certain
that Japan intends to completely en-
velope Korea. Vast armies will be
stationed at the different vantage
points between Fusan on the South
and the line of Manchuria on the
North, and they will be equipped to
move rapidly. Should Russia not
march into Korea, the first great bat.
tie will doubtless be forced by Japan
by an effort to invade Manchuria, and
will doubtless take place beyond but
near the Korean line.

+ Mr.. Kepoikai is himself lawyer,
probably equally as learned as Attor-
ney General Andrews, and many peo.
pie think more SO. Being OF the same
opinion as the former Superintendent
of Public Works, Henry e. Cooper, the
Treasurer endeavored to save to the
Territory certain properties which, in
his judgment, might Illegally pass into
the hands of the counties. Upon sew
eral occasions he endeavored to see
the Attorney General at the latters Of
fee, but Mr.. Andrews was always alb
sent. Time being urgent, the Treasur-
er sought advice elsewhere, outside Of
the official family, agreeing to pay. a
downtown firm of lawyers for their
counsel and action in rescuing Terrific
rial property from the hands of others.

Russia has certainly made a bad

In fact, if the cable reports are to be
relied upon, it looks as though mis-

was ruled out! 1t is in order for Mr..
Andrews to explain what, If any other
such legal bills have been disapproved
by him. 1t is also in order for Mr..
Andrews to explain whether or not he
has, say within the last forty days
since January 1,-engaged any other
legal talent to aid in the performance

Col. c. P. Iaukea, aided by Col. J.
II. Boyd and other leaders of the
Home Rule party, is strongly advocat-
ing fusion between that party and the
Democrats. The opponents of such a
policy, led by Chas. Motley, aided and
abetted by that veteran nincompoop Of
a much-overrated Senator, soon to be
an "ex", are bucking up against the
coming proposition, in which they will
be buried deep in the snow when the

There has been enough money vast

The ditch, in the first place, is much
too small. 1t should be wider and
deeper, and thiclSly cemented. The
job once thoroughly finished will stay
finished, and the expenditure Of mon
ey every year upon it will no longer be
necessary.
Treasurer Kepoikai is right when he
says that the Territory is not able to

$40, 900 PROPOSITION.
No Opportunity to Present Edison In
stallment Offer.

The Edison Electric Illuminating COM
pany had a proposition in the hands of
one of the members of the city council
for presentation last night offering $780,
900 in deferred payments as compensa-
ton for the electric light franchise.
The proposition was not presented
because the Kutz resolution pOStponing
action was put before the meeting and
adopted before the consideration of the
franchise was taken up. The council
man who had the proposition to present
could therefore do nothing.
Four or five of the members of the
council knew what was coming but
none of them considered the matter of
sufficient Importance to bring before the
council.
The Edison company's proposition was
not to pay $4,000 in spot cash for the
franchise, but to pay the $4,000 in
monthly installments during the life OF
the franchise, and apply it as a credit
on the city's electric lighting bills.
The following is the amendment
which had been prepaid, but which
