The Press does not wish to unduly
criticise the registrar Of election in
this precinct, but cases have come to
our notice where the names of voters
who we're registered two years ago
have been omitted from the new
register. The bluuder is probably
due to the neglect of the registrar in
making the transfer, but there is no
excuse for such blunders The right
OF an individual to his vote Is
ieopardized by such carelessness and
not even one person should be co n
PEELED to lose his or her vote in that
way. The ballot is one Of the dearest
rights Of the citizen and he should
not be deprived of it by the incom-
petence or neglect Of an election
officer. Under the circumstances
the safe way is to see that you are
properly registered OF transferred
from the old register Some people
are under the impression that having
been registered for the election last
spring Is all that is necessary. This
is not true and unless you we're regis
tered two years ago at the general
election it will DO necessary to regis.

II is rumored that a combination
is on foot between a few disgruntled
democrats and republicans to trade
two or three candidates on each
ticket for votes for certain favorites
who have bean agreed upon, 1t Is
claimed also that some of the eandi-
dates on each ticket are parties to
the trade. We know that such a
combination exists, but do not credit
the last part of the story tor the
simple reason that no honorable man
running ON ticket would betray
his associates in this manner, II
such a plot were proven against a
candidate it ought to be- sufficient to
defeat him at the polls, because 1t
would prove him to DO wholly IN
reliable and unfit for the office.
There ought to be some honor among
candidates and while people may
consistently scratch their tickets,
and sd luld do so il they feel that 1t
is right, it would be dishonorable
for candidates to enter into a bargain
and sale Of their associates. We do
not believe that the candidates on
either ticket would stoop 10 such
methods for few votes and should
the report prove true the Press will
expose them, no matter whether they
are democrats or republicans. We
want to see a clean election.

INJUNC TION
DISSOLVED
An important ieasehold
Decision by Judge
Robinson.

Judge Robinson rendered a decision
yesterday in the injunction case Of
William McCandless vs. Lee Chew.
AS stated, it was "a bill to enjoin and
restrain the defendant from tearing
down and removing certain wooden
structures or buildings, erected by the
defendant upon certain premises own
ed. by plaintiff and occupied by de-
PENDANT as tenant Of plaintiff"
The lease was OF premises at Palama
for five years from January l, 1900,
for a rental of $500 per annum, and
contained a covenant by the lessee
that at the end of the term, he would
peaceably deliver up the premises to
the lessor with all future erections or
additions upon or to the same Plain
tiff relied on this covenant in bringing
the suit when the lessee, on January
Is last, began to tear down and re-
move the buildings he had erected on
the premises.
Defendant has used part of the
ground for raising vegetables. He
kept a hack-stand in town. The build
ings We're erected and used to shelter
and take care of horses and wagons,
also a portion of them as lodgings for
defendant and his employees. He
charged the men 81 a month room rent
al each but did not always collect it.
Defendant claimed the right to remove
the buildings irrespective of the cove
nant mentioned above, on the ground
that they were trade fixtures, being
intended for use and used solely by
him in his business of raising veget-
ables and in conducting a hack-stand
e.. ~
any time before the expiration of the
lease.
Having discussed many a. thorities
English as well as American, Judge
Robinson holds that the buildins in
fixtures, removable by the tenant at
any time during the term of his lease y
In view of a Massachusetts case,
where the covenant was Identical with
that in this case, the courts opinion
is that the covenant cannot be ex-
tended so as to deprive the tenant
of the right to remove trade fixtures
put by him upon the premises during
the term
In my Judgment Judge Robinson
concludes, ..the temporary injunction
heretofore issued herein should be dis
solved and the bill dismissed Let a
decree be entered in accordance here
with
One of the interesting citations by
the court is the following:
In the case of Van Ness VS.. Pacard,
2 Pet 1S7 q Law Ed. 374, cited by
counsel for the defendant, the Supreme
Court of the United States held that
the question whether fixtures erected
for the purposes of trade are or not
removable by the tenant, does not de-
pend upon the. form or size of the
building: whether it has a brick foun-
dalton or not, or is one or two stories
high; or has a brick or other chimney.
The sole question is whether it is

gether about two-thir1s of the popula-
ton of this country, a staple not pro-
duced in sufficient quantities on the Is
lands, it is obvious who is going to pay
this part of our tribute to the Federal
Treasury. A bag of rice in Japan costs
$225. Here it is about IS, more than
the double. AS japanese and Chinese la
borers, who are expected to perform on
the sugar plantations the same amount
of work as they do in Japan, must also
be expected to consume the same
amount of this staple food paying for
it twice as much as in Japan their
purchasing capacity must necessarily
be the double of what it is in Japan.
and since it depends on wages alone, II
follows that their Hawaiian wages
ought to be the double of those in
Japan.

Here the wages on the plantation fields
are 6511z cents, counting SIT month for
only twenty six days of work. and since
laborer has to sustain himself out of
the same SIT for four Sundays too, his
wages actually are but 5O.7 cents day,
viz. but seven-tenths of a cent day
more than in Japan
The high cost of living on the Is
lands, about twenty-five per cent higher
than on the Coast, is one of the potent
causes of the japanese emigration to
the American Continent. On that con-
tinent they find the living cheaper
