pIsKuAm's RESPONSIBILITY.

Pinkham did not have the situation
in his own hands. He did not have
control of the police squad. He did not
load the Kinau down TO the danger
line and furthermore II might be said
that he did not run the engines. collect
the tickets, wait on the table or stand
his trick at the wheel. The Legisla-
ture hired the ship and had full control
of her The only way that Pipkham
could have done anything towards
keeping the crowd off the island would
have been to have provided himself
with a Maxim gun and to have turned
It on the boats of people as they APP
preached the landing place.-Star.

To the Legislature of the Territory Of
Hawaii,

To the Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii.
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned
Judges of the First Circuit Court of
the territory of Hawaii, earnestly rec
ommend and urge that your Honorable
Body fix the salaries of the official re-
porters and stenographers of the First
Circuit Court of the Territory of Ha'
wall at sum not less than Two Hun
bred Dollars per month each.
We are satisfied that efficient and
capable reporters cannot be secured
for less sum, as the work is so ardu-
GUS that it demands sustained mental
and physical effort covering periods of
time that cannot be met except by
highly skilled and first-class reporters.
1t is true that during the past year
! the reporters of this circuit have been
performing efficient service at a salary
| of $3.50 per month, but such services
have been rendered and the incumbents
| have continued to hold their offices
merely because and by reason of the
fact that it was understood that u
recommendation would be made at this
session of the Legislature to fix the
salaries of official reporters at what
/ they had been prior to the reduction
at the special session of the Legisla-
ture and that the reduction then made
was to be temporary merely and for the
purpose of combining all expenditures
to sum which would not in the aggre-
gate exceed the total amount realized
by taxation until the next regular SEES
sion of the Legislature.
Experience has taught us that it is
worse than useless to employ as Off
cial reporters persons who cannot sns-
tain a continued speed of at least one
hundred and sixty words per minute
for five consecutive minutes, coupled
with an ability to read his notes with
facility. for the reason that the lives
liberty and property interests of the
citizens of this Territory are depend
, ent in every case in which an appeal
might be taken upon the speed, accu
: racy and correctness of the official re
porter in taking the testimony of tn,
witnesses, the objections and excep
tions of counsel and of the rulings o.
the Court during the progress of tn,
trial thereof.

The Sword of n Knight.

The sword OF noble knight was
mentioned almost as often as himself
in the songs Of the troubadours of the
middle ages. In the oldeR time this
trusty weapon was named and person-
flied as accomplishing countless bril-
liant deeds. In the proverbs OF all ma
lions it is spoken of with reverence and
trust. 1t represents the rank and re-
nown; the heroism and honor. the glory
and greatness, Of nations i'll the past.
One Of the first weapons made by man,
it became his most important arm and
auxiliary of warfare. 1t has always
been the visible badge of birth. bravery
and freedom. To surrender it was to
admit defeat and disgrace. 50 long has
it been the constant companion of rank
and valor that it has acquired IL dignity
OF its own. Like no other weapon, it
has quality entirely distinct from it's
character as II blood sLedler. In Eng
land even at the present day the sword
alone is considered adequate to confer

Sorrel.


We notice in our travels through
the country that sorrel is beginning
t. appear in spots in the the pastures.
This indicates an acid soil, and farm
ers should not fail to notice the warn
ing that nature is giving them.
We are sometimes asked what is
the remedy. First correct the acidity
by applying lime, then manure, then
grow crops adapted to these new
conditions. Nature abhors vacuum
and puts sorrel where the land has
been so badly managed that nothing
else will grow Fit your land for
better crops, and grow them, and
there will be no ,roble with sorrel.
-Wallace's Farmer.
