AND THE NATIVE JURIEs

The Washington Star publishes an
article from Honolulu, dealing with the
Democratic Hearst convention and the
recent embezzlements. The article
bears the signature of "Kamehameha"
who is understood to be the Rev. Sc
reno E. Bishop. The writer handles
both topics We plainly, his article be-
as follows.
HONOLULU, June 14.-There has
lately been a series of very unpleasant
developments of fraud in the govern
ment land office. At first reported, the
embezzlements are believed to be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Later inves-
tigatiOn leads to the belief that they
will reach $50, 900. The frauds have
been going on for some years. Two
officials have been arrested, one a ma
tive clerk named Mahaulu, the other
a lately removed land commissioner
f. $. Boyd, who had been at the head
of the land office. Boyd is a half
white who was one of the appointees
forced upon Governor Dole by the le-
gislature few years ago. There was
in the office a defective system Of keep
ing accounts, through which the de-
linquent officers were enabled to evade
previous Investigations made both by
the public auditor and by legislative
committees The frauds, l believe, con-
sisted largely in emitting to credit upon
the books moneys received for rentals
of land The present commissioner, in
demanding payment of supposed delin-
quent dues, was confronted with office
receipts for the same of which no
record existed on the books. At any
rate, the government has lost some $780,,
900, which it has no prospect of recover
ing. This is an amount which would
give material relief to the present de-
pletion of the treasury.
I regret to add that there is little
prospect that the delinquent officials
can be punished for their populations.
There exists at present a stenuous and
determined opposition in native social
circles to the punishment for official
delinquency of any of their own people.
1t is consequently practically impOssi-
bic to secure conviction by a jury, how
ever strong and positive the evidence.
This state of things was clearly eVinCed
only a few days ago. A jury stood hung
seven to five for the conviction of a
member of the legislature and the clerk
of the same body for fraudulent action
in concert. where the evidence was
point blank against them. 1t was well
understood that certain jurymen were
too closely allied to native ladies and
other kindred to face the bitter obloquy
of convcting a Hawaiian of official
fraud. The aforenamed officials will
doubtless be indicted by a grand jury.
The evidence against them will be un-
answerable. But the petit juries will
not convict them.
The part white gentlemen on those
juries and the men with native or part
white wives will not have the courage
to fulfill their sworn duty. 1t is, OF
course, impossible to exclude men from
the juries upon the ground of native af-
filiations. In alleging the prevalence
of such a sentiment in native social
circles l write from positive knowledge
that the curren universal sentiment
among their ladies is that the whites
are animated by a disposition to persc-
cute native official delinquents, and

OF course, this arrangement has been
made for the exclusive benefit of our

such as is printed in our announce

in with the dime to secure any part
issued.
Since, therefore, the Forest City"

easily secured, we again beg to state
that it becomes a double duty of about
everyone to see that the parts arc OBJ

DEMOCRATS AND EMBHZZLERS
HAWAIIAN SUBJECTS TREATED CORRESPONDENTS FROM
HERE E. BIsHOP-DOEs NOT UNDERSTAND
WHAT MAD HAwAmANs GO HEARST EMBEzzLEMENT


that such persons must on no account
be convicted. These women are fully
able to mage their influence felt and
their men will not earn their dis
pleasure.
The Democratic party in this young
territory of Hawaii has just signalized
it's wisdom or prowess, or whatever vir-
tue may be indicated, by sending to the
nat'o al co wen ion a de egation strictly
instructed to vote for Mr.. Hearst. The
party hitherto has been no weighty fac
tor in the politics of Hawaii. The great
majority of the whites have heretofore
supported the Republican party, in the
interests of Americansm. OF the ma
tives, constituting a majority of the
voting citizens, the larger half have
formed the Home Rule or royalist par
ty, in sympathy with the old monarchy,
opposed to American rule, and seeking
to give native sentiment the predomi-
nance.
But latterly, and partly in conse-
quence of the death of their leader
Wilcox, the late delegate to Congress-
this Home Rule party has disintegrat-
ed. A small portion only has united
with the Republicans. A majority of
them have come out as Democrats.
They have probably little definite con-
ception of any political principles of
that party, any more than have the
newly arrived immigrants at Ellis ISL
and, who join it en- mase. They know,
however, who opposed the annexation
of Hawaii and tried to eplace Queen
Liliuokalani on the throne in 1893. And
Il no.,
ocratic natives paid their especial re-
spects last week to the ex-queen, who
had Just returned. They are still thor
oughly royalist at heart, which is not
at all to their discredit, although I'M
American.
During the greater part of their ses-
sions there was no especial friction or
lack of harmony. Delegates were duly
selected. A platform was adopted con-
tanning the requisite roasting of the re-
publican party and of the territorial
government, and notably deficient
chiefly in any definite enunciation of
Democratic principles, which may per-
haps be really devoid of definiteness or
importance. But near the end the pro-
position was sprung upon the conven-
ton to positively instruct the delegates
to vote for Mr.. Hearst. This at once met
with the most emphatic opposition from
most of the white Democrats, who had
so lOng and faithfully chung to their
party during the years of it's insignifi-
cant numbers. But their voices went
for nothing. The natives had been
primed for Hearst and would hear
nothing to the contrary. Opposition to
positive instruction was useless. The
majority stampeded for Hearst. The
faithful old Democratic warriors were
left lamenting and dismayed. L regret
to have no definite clue to the motives
animating the action of the natives.
There seems to be no evidence of the
presence of a barrel" although there
was a very active agent named Kidd
who swung them swiftly into line. One
might surmise that the natives mainly
desired to down the whites. But that
seems hardly an adequate solution o!
what was clearly an organized arrange
ment. KAMEH AMEHA.

The Divorce Question
Presbyterian Assembly Takes
Cronnd Against Marrying Di-
vorced Persons.

Buffalo, 0. Y, May % AT the
general assembly Of the Presby-
terian church of the United States
today the special committee on
marriage and divorce made its re-
port and submitted the following
recommendations:
"The general assembly again
enjoins all ministers under its
authority to refuse to perform the
marriage ceremony in the cases of
divorced persons, except as such
persons have been divorced upon
grounds and for causes recognized
as scriptural in the standards of
abe church.
Recognizing the comfy which
should exist between Christian
churches, and believing that ii
would be desirable and tend TO in
crease a spirit of Christian unity,
we earnestly advise all the minis
ters to refuse to unite in marriage
any person or persons, whose mar
riages such ministers have reason
to believe is forbidden by the laws
of the church in which such per
SONS, seeking to be married, may
hold membership.
"The appeal and address TO the
inter-church conference is hereby
indorsed by the general assembly
and commended to the considera-
tion Of all our ministers and con-
gregations. The committee on
marriage aud divorce is continued
and instructed to cooperate with |
the representatives of other church
IS in endeayorlng to obtain such |
ecclesiastical union and such state
pr national legislation as may |
shield both church and state from
existing and pending Perils. The
committee is working with COM
nittees OF thirteen denominations,
al Of which form the intef-church
on marriage and divorce
which recently issued an appeal to
he Christian public.

Hunting A Criminal
Great Excitement Over Murder
Committed Near Woodward,
Oklahoma.

Woodward, Okla, May 23.-An
armed rob is securing the country
for William Gardner, who killed
Bud Craig and Virgil Funkhouser
yesterday morning at 8 O'Clock on
the rancho Of i. w. Wiggin, three
miles north Of here.
If Gardner is caught he viii be
shot.
The double tragedy occurred in
the barn on the Wiggin's ranch,
where the two victims slept. The
murderer is said 10 have been jeal-
Gus Of the alleged attentions of the
two young mer to his wife.
He entered the barn about six
O'Clock Sunday morning armed
with two Colts revolvers and a
Winchester rifle.
Get up and eat your oats" he
said to Funkhouser, who was awak-
ened by the approach of Gardner.
As Funk houser arose, the assas-
sin raised his Winchester and fired
the bullet entered about an inch
below The heart. Then he fired at
Craig without warning, killing the
latter instantly. Funkhouser died
toward evening.
As the murderer lowered the
smoking weapon he announced that
he was coming back in short time
to murder the ranch owner and
William Zimmerman, another
ranchs hand, and then would kill
himself.
Then he mounted pony aud
rode away. Less than half an
hour later a posse of fifty citizens
and officers armed with WinchestersI
and yeyolvers were in hot pursuit.
The chase led toward the north
and some time elapsed before the
posse found trace Of the murderer.
He is well acquainted with thel
country and al each ranch hel
passed he would dash iate the pas
-ure, leave his horse and take a new
mount. Thus he had an advan-
age over his pursuers.
About twelve miles northeast of
own they saw him some distance
n advance but he was soon again !
ost to sight in rayines and gqllies.
If he IS caught no mercy will bel
shown him, as the pursuers viii
pave fight on their hands. He

md will not submit to capture.
