Editorial Opinions.
Hawaii Herald: There should be no
difficulty in one of the four parties
which are after a street railway fran
chise for Hilo, getting the much de-
sired lease to the public streets, and
the right to run electric cars through
the city.
But, much as the street car system
is to be wished for, there are many
other things to be considered OF
the many parties that are out for a
franchise only one, and that the orig
inal party, appears able to promise
anything really definite.
The Conness-Johnson combination
was the first in the field and, although
the bill as introduced in the senate
by Makekau, has been altered some
what, the measure is the best that
has been made public so far. The
public is safeguarded, and the pro-
visions of the bill appear to be salts
factory to everyone.
Hawaii Herald: The spectacle Of
County Attorney Beers floating off 20
Honolulu to work for a private enter
prise, while his official duties here
are being performed by his deputy, is
a strange one. With the grand jury
sitting, and many important matters
to be dealt with, it would have seem
ed better form for the man elected
by the people, to have stayed with
his job. However, with a deputy and
clerk to perform his duties, there
hardly seems any necessity for Beers
to come back at all.
HilO Tribune Judge Wise has early
in mis- judicial career begun to show
himself as an energetic and fearless
official! By tackling the ancient abuse
of prison labor he has stirred up an
unsavory mess, and without doubt
there will be a snarl from the officials
affected by his stand The defense
will be made, of course, that the usage
of farming out prisoners is an ancient
one, as II age of this official muck
, heap made the odor therefrom any
the sweeter, 1t is rather surprising
to note how far the matter was allow
ed TO go and how men in high office
could allow themselves to benefit from
so manifest an abuse of authority, but
for just this reason drastic measures

Labor Union Paper.

Last Friday evening the Hilo La
Dor Union held a meeting at which
much important business was discus
sed 1t was proposed to start a news
paper that would be the official organ
OF the Union. 1t was also decided that
each member of the Union should
take at least one share in the PROPOSE.
ton. The par value of the shares is
to be s., and it is said that many
members of the Union stand ready to
take at least five or six shares each.
The matter of starting the paper
was, finally, allowed to stand over till
the country members of the Union
were heard from At the next meet
ing the proposition will be fully

at least in some of the cases enumer.
ated above, the prisoners have to
bring their own food along with them
from the Jail, so the excuse of econo-
my is not even valid. It is possible
that some Of the reports named above
may have been exaggerated, but, on
the other hand it is fairly certain
that by no means all the cases Of
prisoner farming have been mentioned.
Judge Wise took an official hand in
the matter when he imposed sentence
on a Russian who was charged with
having beaten his wife, at Puueo, and
who had entered a plea of guilty to
the charge. After having imposed a
sentence of thirty days imprisonment,
the court added:
And when I say Imprisonment, l
want it understood by the officials
here that the defendant is not to be
farmed out to the county officials"
Deputy Sheriff Fetter was utterly
taken by surprise at the attack on the
ancient usage, and asked the court to
repeat the order.
Il understand repeated Judge Wise,
that the officials here are in the
habit of having from one to half
dozen prisoners working for them.
That is neither the spirit or the intent
of the law"
Fetter answered that he presumed
that Jailor Maby had his orders from
the sheriff when he allowed the pris.
oners in his care to work for outside
parties.
THAT may be-" answered the court
'But want the jailor to be instructed
that when this court sentences a man
to jail it does not mean that he is
to be farmed out"
"All the officials have prisoners.
sad Fetter.
81 have understood that they did,
said Wise. But there is no law al
lowing it, and it ought to be stopped"

mummERY IN THE COMMONS.
SLACK Rod" and His Antics In the

.DIaek Rod" and His Antics In the
English Parliament.
Many an American visiting the Brit
fish house Of commons has heard with
establishment the cry BLACK Rod is
coming" and wondered what was
happening.
BLACK Rod" Is simply an indication
of the persistency with which our
oversee cousins cling to bit of an
tique mummery. Whenever In the
house this cry is uttered the sergeant,
alarms springs to his feet. closes the
doors leading into the lobby and turns
the key in the lock. Having thus dra
matically insured the commons against
an attack, the sergeant-at-arms takes
his position In front Of q small win
dow, where he listens to three raps on
the door. Sergeant-at-arms then po
litely asks what Is wanted and learns
that Black Rod has message to be
delivered to the speaker and the com
mons.
Then when the door is opened an old
gentleman In black is seen to come
slowly into the chamber. On his queer
old coat are three black rows; he wears
black silk stockings and trunks; q
black coat is held under one arm, and
4 short black rod. with gold button
at the end, is in his other hand.
Black Rod is most ceremonious. He
bows three times to the speaker and
delivers his message, while the mem.
bers Of the commons put on their hats.
Mr.. Speaker and the commons are re-
quested to enter the house Of lords to
listen to the kings assent to an act
which has passed both houses of par
lament
Black Rod then bows to the speaker,
walks backward step by step to the
center Of the house and repeats the
salutatior. At the door he pauses
again and bows even lower
Sergeant alarms swings his mace on
his shoulder and follows Black Rod
Behind comes the speaker in his Off
cial robes. The members on the
benches take of their hats and rise in
their places. About half dozen of
them follow the speaker into the house
Of lords. The speaker raises bis cock
ed hat thrice and salutes the lord chan
cellor. The message Of royal assent
Is read and there is further exchange
of salutes.
The speaker returns to the house in
solemn state,> and the mace is laid on
the table. The business Of the com
mons Is resumed without further in.
terruption from the polite old gentle
man In black.
This ceremony is. Of course. surviv'

Of commons found 1t necessary to pro
tect itself against crown and lords.
