STORIES OF THE OPERA.
"The Sultan of Sulu."

The action takes place shortly after the
war between Spain and the United States,
whereby this country acquired the Philip
pines. Col. Jefferson Budd, a politician
and amateur soldier, has been rewarded
for his work in t'saving the country" at
the polls at the last election by an ap-
pointment as governor Of the little Island
of Sulu. In the first act, with much
noise and ceremony, he arrives with his
aids and large party organized with
the idea OF hastily civilzing the new ter
rtory. The party consists of the colonel,
his daughter Henrietta, a typical Ameri-
can girl; four Boston school teachers

Turner Is Defiant.

UIuSE xS OcA60Js
One Of the developments of the week
was the refusal of ]. Frank Turner to
resign either as states attorney or chair
man of the democratic committee In Tai
bot county after he had been officially
notified by Gov. Crothers that he must
retire from one or the other. The action
was taken by the governor after he had
been given a legal opinion by Attorney
General Straus, who held that Mr.. Turner
could not hold both positions.
The question has been raised whether
or not Attorney General Straus, backed
by the governor, would have the author
ity to oust Mr.. Turner from one or the
other of his positions. Some lawyers
hold that this cannot be done so long as
Turner as chairman OF a political COM
mittee, has no funds to handle.
This aspect of the case, however. will
be changed after the ticket is named in
Talbot county. In this connection it is
stated that Mr.. Turner has expressed
willingness to retire as chairman of the
county democratic committee at a later
date

thing that was not in accord with

us SO many weeks and months to
evolve single verdict. Perhaps
the long way around may be the
shortest way home.
However that may be, the Jap

have done everything they could to
bring their misguided countrymen
out of the path of folly that they
have been travelling so unanimously

The jury closed its long and ardu.
Gus task in the Conspiracy trial by
rendering a stalwart and true verdict
of guilty.
This community from the proofs adj
duced. was satisfied long ago that the
defendants, beyond question, were
guilty. In fact, they committed their
offense openly, defantly and before
the eyes of all men, aud continued
their defiance to the last. claiming that
what they had done they would con.
tinue to do. While. therefore. the yer.
dict was one that the community had
a right to expect, and though the jury
did but their simple duty as citizens
and under their oaths, yet there had
been so much evidence of an under.
current OF animus directed against the
Prosecution, and from such unexpected
sources that It was feared by many
that all the jury would not have In.
dependence and clear.sightedness suf.

HAWAIIANS AS JURORS.

IL VIII not be forgotten that
though the verdict in the conspiracy
trial was aided, and materially aid
ed, by two good and true white men,
1t was after all the Hawaiians, nine
In number. on that jury OF eleven
upon whom the brunt of the duty
fell. Many aie surprised at the
way these men stood to their duty
when so many men. supposedly OF
wider experience, greater education
and more enlightened training UNI
der the issues presented fell into
the very ditch, but to those familiar
with the Hawaiian and his charac
teristics 1t was the least surprising
feature of the verdict.
Hawaiians are a peace-loving
people, so recognized and heraldet
by all races who have come in con-
tact with them.
They have no use for the man OF
violence, or anyone whom the,
see is bent on creating disturbance
unrest and disorder. They have
practically a clean record In all
murder trials, even when we had
race juries. They have systemati-
cally and steadily rendered verdicts
which hung murderers ;even among
their own people and under cir
cumstances where they might well
have yielded to maudlin appeals.
