The ex-UEion soldier clerks OF the
Pension Office went down TO River View
last evening. Pension Commissioner
Warner and extension Commissioners
w. w. Dudley. Green B. Raum and John
c. Black, now president of the Civil
Service Commission. made addresses.
When Commissioner Warner said that
the civil service law ought TO be re-
pealed outright or the old clerks placed

Major John T. Clements, president Of

speaker. told the clerks that the time
was coming when Congress would legis-

bill now pending in the House Of Rep

ment of clerks after a certain number
of years of service. He thought IT
would be a good thing for the Govern
ment TO retain a certain per cent Of
the salary, and IL a clerk resigned or
was dismissed he should receive In a
lump sum the amount that had been
retained. He expressed the opinion
that I'VE will yet see some practical
legislation on this subject" He also
mentioned that in 1888 Congress classi-
fed the offices and fixed the salaries at
S1,20G. $l,4O0. $1,000 and 81, 500 and they
had not been increased, although the
cost OF living had steadily increased.
The salaries fixed then. he said. might
be called reasonable, but they could
not be called that now Commissioner
Warner said he hoped the men would
keep up these meetings: that II was a

HAWAII SH|NPO ON THE
PROPOSED LICENSE LAW
Iananese Position on the Plan to Confine the
Liquor Business in Hawaii to Citizens
of the United Stated.

of the other members Of the same class
from its obliga tons, would make the
law for that reason unconstitutional
unless there was some juStifable
reason for the discrimination and of
this the courts are the final Judge
And he cites the following instances:
"A law which required a license of
hawkers and peddlers in general, but
excepted from its provisions any
manufacturer, mechanic, nurseryman,
farmer, butcher ..-......- selling, as
the case may be, his manufactured
articles, or products of his nursery or
farm or his wares etc. State V. Wag-
ner. SO Mimi. 206. There does not seem
to be any substantial reason why this
distinction should be made. So like
wise in North Carolina case, an act
was held to be unconstitutional which
imposed a license fee of $1,000 upon any
one who was engaged in the business
of hiring labor in certain counties of
the State to be employed outside of the
State. State V. Moore, lib n, c., 697.'
To exclude the japanese or Japa-
nese and all other aliens from exer-
cisfng the trade of liquor vending
would be obnoxious to the principle
of equality and universally of applica-
proposed restriction is illegal and void.
But what purpose,-what public pur-
pose does it serve TO prohibit the alien
from selling the liquor if the citizens
are allowed to sell? The number of
liquor dealers would not be decreased
nor OF drunkards, by this restriction.
The demand regulates the supply. If
all aliens do not become converted into
prohibitlOniStS all at once, as by
magic. at the passage of the law. the
demand for sake and other spirits and
liquor would not decrease. If they do
not, the demand will remain the same
as before and the citizen liquormen
will increase to meet the demand.
What public purpose would such law
subserve? what social order would it
preserve? How the morality would be
protected? The proposed law then is
not a police regulation, in that it does
not subserve any legitimate public
purpose: it is impartial in operation;
and lastly it is unreasonable being
without any relation to the suppress
sion of crime or vice.
our conclusion is that the proposed
exclusion of all alien from saloon bust
ness is not police regulation, which is
paramount of treaty stipulations; and
that. therefore, it cannot be upheld,
if passed. And as it is in clear viola
ton of treaty stipulation which guar
antees to the Japanese the right to
trade in any part of the territories
of the u. s. by wholesale or retail, in
all kinds of produce, manufactures,
and merchandise of lawful commerce.,
the proposed liquor license law. if pass
ed. would be unconstitutional, null and
void

An interesting decision under the
Saturday by Z. S. Judge Sanford B.
Dole 1t was to the effect that the law
bearing on conspiracy to land Chinese
unlawfuliy in the United States applied
to case of eonspiring to land Chinese
already in Hawaii on the mainland.
Such a case is alleged against Wong
Kock zee and others, who are charged
with attempting, through false identifi-
cation papers, to effect the landing of
a Chinese from Honolulu in San Fran
cisco.
Defendants entered a demurrer on
the ground that the statutes making
conspiracy to land Chinese in the
United States criminal offense did not
apply to the landing of Chinese from
tie Hawaiian Islands in the United
States although such migration of Chin
csc hence to the mainland was forbid
den by Congress. Judge Dole overrules
the demurrer, holding that any person
who aids or abets the landing on the
mainland territory of the United States,
from any vessel, any Chinese person of
the class referred to from the insular
possessions of the United States, is con-
structively guilty of violation of the
statute which says "that any person
who shall aid or abet the landing in
the United States, from any vessel, of
any Chinese person not lawfully entitled
to enter the United States, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, etc.

Artist. a. Frame Makers.

The frame for the picture is always
sore question with the average artist,
as any one of them will confess and
any frame maker testify to. Most
painters have definite ideas on how
their canvases should be framed, but
when 1t comes to ordering and paying
for them, that is another matter. AS
great an artist US Alma Tadema al
ways designed his own frames, and
not few New York painters design
and make their own. There is one
Boston artist who began by making his
own frames after his own designs. and
his effects were SO artistic that several
Of his colleagues in that city begged
him to make frames for them. He
consented to do this in few cases,
until the fame of his work spread
abroad, and as result lie received so
many orders that he set up frame
making shop Of his own.

In the Sierra Nevada mountains,
when conditions are favorable for the
display, there occurs n beautiful and
startling phenomenon OF nature. At
times when the wind drives up the
mountain sides in Il certain direction
and with sufficient velocity there
stream out upon the air snow banners
from n hundred mountain peaks. They
are formed by the circling wind acting
upon the light snow and are thick and
dark at the top of the mountain, like {,
flagstaff, then they float away broad
ly for a mile III length in waves OF
iridescent light. This magnificent dis.
play is rarely seen by other eyes than
those Of savages, but sometimes it has
been the good fortune of Il naturalist
to witness it when among the wild
