HAWAIIAN COFFEE.

There Is a common impression that
coffee will never be much of an asset
here owing to the competition of cheap
| labor countries. The same thing, ey-
actly, was said about the oranges of
| Florida and California and the raisins
of the latter State. Middle-aged men
from the Eastern seaboari can ranienl-
Der when the Messina orange and the
Malaga raisin had the right of way;
but 1t did not take many years to put
them in the background. All that was
needed were first-class American PROD
ucts and these, after much tribulation,
came year by year. American wine
displaces the red and white wines of
Europe on home tables; and in course
of time, when the vineyards acquire
age, the American champagne ought
to materially reduce the volume of i'm
ports of the best grades of sparkling
wine.
1T Will be the same way with Ha-
waiian coffee. Already the Louisson
brothers, whose energy, courage and
faith, and whose growing pecuniary
success, as well, have been an inspira-
ton to small farming in Hawaii, are
'N'Nih6 lne their
Hamakua ranch. They have made good
connections and their coffee has been
put in attractive form; and what is
more, people, in increasing numbers,
are buying 1t. Advertised like the vari-
Gus cereal foods are, the island coffee
would be sure of great success; but
even without such an outlay for print
er's ink time is bound to justify the
faith of its promoters even If Congress
should do nothing to aid and encourage
the coffee industry.
Meanwhile coffee growers and ex-
porters should chiefly concern them
selves about making the appearance
of their coffee conform to what the
Mainland market regards as standard.
1t should be darkened, so Jared G.
smith says. so as to overcome the fool
'sh idea that bright, clean looking cof-
tee' such as the Hawaiian product is.
is necessarily young or immature. Aside
from that and larger market the Ha-
waiian coffee experiment has been a
success. At least no one doubts the
demonstration already made by the soil
and climate.

THE NEW SENATOR FROM CALIFoR.
MA,

The new Senator from California
Hon. Frank p. Flint, is a man new &c
the higher politics OF the State. but not
for that reason less qualified for able
wealth. Mr.. Flint. indeed, has always
somewhat markedly kept out of the
political heat and burden Of the day
not failing to take an interest nor to
give his services TO the party, but re-
framing from presenting any personal
claims he might have felt that he had
to personal reward.
When the campaign for the United
States Senatorship in succession to
Thos. r. Bard began, Flint was urged
by many representative business men
and many political leaders OF the Re-
publican party in Los Angeles to make
the race for the place. 1t was said,
and no doubt felt. that he was a clean
man, with as few entahglements as
any public man in California, and that
he would be stronger in Southern Cali
fornia, which was admitted to be en-
titled to the place, than Bard, the sit
ting Senator.
Flint at once announced his candida
cy. resigned his position as attorney
for the Southern Pacific, and entered
upon such an active campaign for the
United States Senatorship as was made
and successfully made, by Stephen NJ
In To-,
county in the State and was, in fact.
the one spark of vitality in an other
wise lfeless campaign destined to
end in most astounding victory.
AS the eventuality has proven,
Flint's battle has been crowned with
the same measure of personal success
that followed Whites memorable
canvass. The new Senator is not
finished orator, as White was, nor
has he ever taken the same rank at the
bar that White easily held. He is not
a man of national repute, as his great
was. -s
Nevertheless, Flint is an honest
painstaking man, young
enough yet to reach high place in the
councils Of the nation and with ability |
suIHclent TO render most efficient SER
vice. He is of pleasing personality, !
making friends readily, standing by
them firmly and keeping them long
The one charge made against him by
his political enemies, that he was in
the service Of the Southern Pacific. he
met by leaving that service. And at
no time during the canvass could
1t be shown, although desperate
efforts were made in that di- !
rection, that the Southern Pa
cific was behind his campaign. Even |
a United States Senator is entitled to |
the benefit Of the doubt. The United |
States Senator from California is par
entitled to the kindliest judg-
ment of island, people. Kindness
breeds kindliness-and a United States
Senator can do many things.

PHILIPPINE WAR NEWS.

An example of picturesque Journal
ism is found in a recent despatch" &c
the Manila Times. the paper which re.
Gently reported that the liner Korea
had put into Esquimalt to avoid the
Russian fleet. The latest from Port
Arthur is printed three columns wide
with sky-scraping type headlines.
For comparison we give the skeleton
cablegram and the form In which IL
appeared in the Honolulu papers.
Original cablegram;
"Stpetersburg. Unconfrmed report
Russians captured 2O3 metre hill"
Honolulu interpretations:
ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.-An I'M
confirmed report has been received
here that the Russians have captured
203- Meter Hill at Port Arthur.
Manila Times version:
San Francisco, December 23.-Two
hundred and three meter hill, upon the
ensanguined slopes of which both the
Russian and Japanese have flung away
thousands upon thousand of gallant
lives, and by the capture and occu-
patton of which the Japanese besieg-
ers have been able to dominate the
doomed city" and to annihilate the
Russian squadron, has at last, after
repeated costly failures, been won back
by the Russians after a most terrific
battle begun in the bitter cold and
darkness of midnight and ended hours
after the sun had illuminated the
corpse strewn hill.
The Japanese, after their success at
the Kee-Kwan, attempted to carry the
Itz-su- shan works in the same manner.
The Russians fell back from their out
ermost line and allowed the Japanese
to get between the works when a muir
derous hail of rifle, shrapnel, machine
gun fire and the use of the hand gre
made at close quarters swept the at
lacking column back, Keeling and shat

turned upon the discounted stormers
as their broken ranks surged back.
Star shells made the field. for the at
tack was made in the night, light as
day and aided the defenders to see
their enemy.
After the reverse at the It-zu-shan
the japanese being naturally some
what dispirited and in need of recu-
peration, the Russians seized the OPP
portunity to again attempt the storm !
ing of the 203 metre hill. The assault |
began shortly after midnight of We'd |
nesday and fully third of the Rus
sian garrison was employed. A fierce |
attack by way of diversion was or
dered upon the east Kee-kwan fort |
after the storming party was well on

WEAK POINT IN Jury LAW.

There Is a serious weakness In the
present Territorial jury system. 1t
consists of the limitation of the num-
bers Of citizens who may be summon
ed to serve as jurors Taking the First
Judicial Circuit-the other circuits he
Ing In similar case proportionately-
a jury list for an entire year is limited
by statute to two hundred and fifty
names. From this list there have to
be drawn the grand juries, whose MEM
bers are disqualified to sit on trial
turies for cases wherein they have
found indictments. which makes them
unavailable as Jurors in cases carried
over from one term to another. There
are many such continuances upon the
calendar Of each term. Then there are
times when three judges hold jury
trials simultaneously, each with
panel Of sixteen to twenty-six jurors in
attendance. Just now. at the begin
ming OF term, two judges are trying
criminal cases. A capital case is on
trial and painful effort is being ma de
to obtain jury for another one.
Besides the deductions from the list
already mentioned, in its relation TO
proceedings before any single judge,
there is to be taken into account, re-
garding capital cases, considerable
proportion Of Jurors who have scruples
against capital punishment and n
probably more numerous element who
VIII, either readily or reluctantly, ad-
NIT holding fixed opinions on the guilt
or innocence of the accused. After
twelve men have passed the ordeal of
examination for cause, in some in
stances greatly depicting the list. the
difficulty is renewed, one-half increas-
ed, by the privilege of peremptory
challenges, of which the prosecution is
allowed six and the defense twelve.
There Is always, therefore, risk in
an instance such as at present ap-
pears that the entire list OF $50 Jurors
may become exhausted before a jury
In capital case Is obtained.
The weak point of the law is that. |
when the list of $50 is exhausted, there
is no provision for calling in tales
men. Some lawyers think that the |
Soiiihoi law Tuie WOULD tnen be ap- |
piicable for the summoning of tales |
men or the calling upon bystanders for
completing the panel. Others. con-
trariwise, hold that the omission of
such provision from the statute shuts
out the common law rule. Within the
past year the question of talesmen has
come up, but only as an alternative to
Issuing special venire on the list of
zoo 1t did not come to a test, however,
owing to waving of objections to tales
men by both sides.
1t is serious thing for the COM |
munity, and sometimes for the ac-
cused, to have capital case contin-
ued over a term, but under the condi-
lions here shown the continuance is
liable to be for a whole year. It has
peen suggested to the Advertiser that
an amendment to the jury law is some
thing the Bar Association should
promptly set about procuring from the
coming Legislature.

Bishop McVicker, of Rhode Island,
told the members of the Boston Epis-
oopalian Club one of the best of the
Butler stories. Butler was on his way
to Boston to try a case before Judge
Shaw. A young friend met him on the
train. and asked him IL he might look
at the notes on the case. Butler ac-
quiesced. The young man, to his as
constituent. saw written in pencil at
the top of page L: Insult the Judge"
You see," said Butler, II llrst get
Judge Shaw's i'll will by insulting him
in some way. Later in the case he
will have decisions 20 make for or
against me. AS he Is an exceedingly
just man. and as I have insulted him.
he will lean to my side, for fear OF
letting his personal feeling against me
sway his decision the opposite way"

Isl An, the Empress Of China, is thus
vividly described by Lady Susan Town

color. Being low of stature, her feet

visible over the table placed in front

diaphanous pale blue silk material
covered with the most exquisite Chi
hese embroidery of vine leaves and
grapes. Round her neck was a pale
blue satin ribbon studded with large
iustrous pearls, pierced and sewn to
the ribbon. Her complexion is that of
North Italian, and being a widow.
her cheeks are Imprinted and unpow-
uered Her piercing dark eyes royed
curiously about among her surround
iDgs. Her age is sixty-eight, but her
hair being dyed jet-black and most of
II artificial, her appearance Is that of a
much younger woman. Her hands are
long and tapering and very prettily
shaped but they are disfigured by the
curious national custom of letting the
nails grow Unfortunately long. The nails
or the two smaller fingers of the right
hand were protected by gold shields,
which fitted over the finger like lady's
thimble and gradually tapered off to a
length of three or four inches"

Sugar ranges above 800 ton and
everybody is happy. Yet local grower
of grapes complains that he is only
offered s1S6 per ton for his product and
he won't sell. Tobacco OF the class
being raised at Hamakua is rated by
experts at $3.50 a pound. viii some
opponent of diversified agriculture fig
ure out the gross returns for a ton? At
twenty-five cents a pound the product
would be worth $500 ton. AS the king

The refusal of the President to re-
appoint Judge Gear, after the latter
had played his last card, all but closes
an episode which makes an unpleasant
chapter in Hawaiian history. The car

formidable and for time made great
trouble in the Territory. It was met
and worsted by the Advertiser and the
Star which, at no little risk and cost,
attacked the -baggers and were
instrumental in getting rid of them.

THE LAW OF NATIONS.

international law for the citizens of
any one country to be allowed. and
possibly aided and assisted by, at any
rate, with the full knowledge of the
Government of their country, to ex-
tend aid and comfort to the soldiers
of another country, than 1t is for the
citizens of some other country with the
full knowledge of their own Govern
ment, to be allowed to, and possibly
assisted in, the construction of war
fleets and other implements of war;
also to loan money with which to con-
struct such implements, as well as to
carry on war, to which war said Gov
eminent had been pledged to neutrali-
ty. viii you kindly inform me?
Yours truly,
Z. c. RHODES.
Honolulu, Oahu, T. H., Jan. 16, 1905.
The whole law of neutrality and the
rights and duties Of nations at war
and of neutral nations is in an en-
bryotic, illogical and inconsistent state.
Until very recently international law
in general was based on the law that
might makes right. 1t is now growing
by presidents into an international
common law. Even this is still sub
ject to the will of the most powerful
contestant. Much depends on whose
OK is gored. At The Hague conference
Russia demanded that coal should be
declared contraband: now she needs
coal and has repudiated her former
professions. England once prohibited
all commerce with Europe; now she
encourages 1t. In neither case did the
original precedent stand. What was
believed to be an established canon of
law is now being violated
by France as it was a short time ago
by Spain, in coaling Rodjestvensky's
fleet. If a power is strong enough 1t
can do about as 1t pleases except to
engage in enterprises like piracy, the
poisoning of enemies, etc, against
which civilization is naturally in
league.
