cARPEIsAeeER STUART.

We do not know Judge Stuart, the
new appointee to the bench in Homo,
lulu, save By sight and in general
way He may be one of the most
learned men in the United States for
all we know The manner of his
reaching the bench in Hawaii, how.
ever, is rank injustico and an insult
to this territory He is an out and out
carpetbagger, and the incident of his
appearance in official life here over
shadows the carpetbag policy Of the
national administration after the Civil
War in the South, for which that
party for years was most severely
scored by the Democrats. We have,
in other words, the Democrats doing
in a most fragrant manner the very
thing which constituted their chief
campaign missile for years.
On the face of tit would seem
that Mr.. Stuart was billeted for the
position he now holds more than a
year ago, and was sent down to Ho-
nolulu to 'hang around" until he had
obtained the residence qualification
necessary to his appointment
It was a rank deal 1t fairly stinks.-

NEW JAPANESE ASSOCIATION.
The new Japanese society just
formed in Honolulu has a rather Sc
rious aspect, in view of its leadership
and some of the stated objects of its
spokesman, as to their reasons for
forming such society. 1t appears to
be a racial organization and one of
the reasons for its existence is a
charge that Japanese do not get prop
er treatment in Hawaii. in a social
way, etc. Its leaders are those who
were at the head of the big japanese
strike movement. A move to organ
lie such a society at this time in Ha-
wall will be noted with interest in
world capitals where events are be-
ing watched very closely just now.
1t is a good thing such movement
was not started during the days of
the Japanese-American war scare,
though the present is almost as bad
time for it. Some better reasons
for the existence of the society will
have to be given than those SO far ad-
yanced, or else II win be regarded as
an organization to be looked upon
with suspicion-as to the purposes Of
those leaders who are giving it their

The size of the organization, form
