AN EASY SOLUTION.

Seeing that the Toxic government
is anxious to stop the migration of
japanese field laborers from here to
the American mainland, it ought to be
easy to do so with the cooperation of
the Washington government.
A diplomatic arrangement could be
made by which the United States would
refuse entrance at its mainland ports
to Japanese steerage passengers from
here who had not brought passports
issued by the japanese Consul General
at Honolulu. OF course, the Consul
General, under instructions from To-
kio. would withhold such passports
That Japan would agree to this pro-
cedure may be inferred from the fact
that she refuses passports at home to
Iaborers who want to go to the coast
direct and is deeply solicitous that no
sand-lot agitation against her people
shall be stirred up in San Francisco.
Here is a method, easily applicable,
which would keep Hawaii's field labor
where it is, head off a new Asiatic
issue in American politics, meet the
demands of the labor unions and Save
the face of the Toxic government.

There are so many doubts touching
the constitutionality of the County bill
that the Legislature would do well, in
stead of passing the measure, to ap-
point a law commission to go over it
and report to the next Legislature. Too
much haste in this matter before, put
the Territory to the expense of an
election, of the purchase of county sup
plies and of a lawsuit, ending in a de-
cision adverse to County government
after the system had been working but
ten days. AS to the present bill, law
yers say that they can drive a tally-ho
through it. In that case it is a waste
of time to do more at this session than
to put 1t on the stocks for thorough
oyerhauling and repair.

diseases could be cured by osteopathic

All Denied Bail Except One in
Famous Murder Case.
SENATOR ON BOND OF $4,000.

Lexington, KY, March o.
Judge Hargis, his nephew, FL

Callahan, of Breathitt County,
were today held without bail on
charges of completely in the feud
murder of James Cockrill in
Jackson, KY, three years ago,
while Senator Alex. Hargis, ar
rested, in the same connection,
was released on $15, 900 bail. The
decision was announced today
by Judge Parker, Of the Fayette

mony last week on the question
of bail, and the trial of the case
will be held at the present term

had been convicted and sem
fenced to death for connection
with the crime, was on Saturday
granted new trial, while Tom
White is under life sentence for
completely in the crime. All of
the men arrested in connection
with the crime are prominent in

created as much stir as has this
one.

his stead in the event bail was
refused. Breck Combes, of
