Grover Cleveland, who once stirred
up the entire country by going on ii
| long fishing trip when trouble with
Venezuela was imminent? The Ter
| ritorial Executive is basking in the
sun on the top of Mauna LOa, accord
| ing to all accounts and is far from the
dangers of worry which might be
brought by mail or even wireless. But
| suppose the situation should become
worse. Who could call out the mill
| tia? Acknowledgement Jones has no
authority to perform any such act and
Mott-Smith is powerless so long as
his chief is in the Territory. We
might be in a pretty bad fix, though
of course nothing fthe kind is anti
| cipated. Still it does seem a strange
time for trip such as that which the
| Governor is taking.
One thing TO be noted yesterday at
the Judiciary building was the perfect
behavior on the part of the Japanese
strikers who were present. | note
that they are termed sullen mob by
the morning organ but TINS is most
peculiar misstatement When in the
Judiciary building they doffed their
hats without even a suggestion being
made by any haole When ordered
from the court room by the officials
they went without a single murmur
| =,
crowd would do That they cheered
their leaders, who have been placed
before them in the light of martyrs, is
not surprising, and it seems to me thai
throughout this entire di cu.ty the
Japanese are to be praised to the ut
most for the orderly manner in which
they have behaved. One or two isolat-
ed cases of violence have occurred but
are they worthy of mention in com
parison with the burning of street
cars and mobbing of employees which
took place in Philadelphia last week
