THE WASHINGTON COMMISSION
If the annexationist frionda of
Hawaii doom it advisable for tho
host interests of this absorbed coun
try that it should be represented by
a apodal local commission at Wash
ington during the debates on Con
gress on the Territorial Government
bill undoubtedly then their advice
is wise and their suggestion should
bo adopted for being on the spot
they aro more familiar with circum
stances and conditions fhau aro wo
standing off at long rango
A formally appointed local com
mission having at its back not only
the credit of the Government but
the consent and active support of
our Ohmbor of Commerce the
Planters Association and tho peoplo
politically and sooially will have
far greater influence than any aggre
gation of special agents however
strong may be their financial back
iig for the latter will be apt to be
considered as lobbyists and as
suckers to be pulled for all that
there is in them
The main point to be considered
in the appointment of such a com
mission as we have in mind is the
fact that they must be not only
honost and reliable men having the
full confidence of the absorbed coun
try at large but they must bo gen
tlemen in instinct and manners and
be moreover experienced in tho
ways of legislation and more
especially in congressional legisla
tion and while they must be Amer
icans in the most liberal definition
of the term they must also havo
aomo aloha for the country in which
they have long been resident and
adopted as their own
Tho appropriation for their ser
vices should be liberal and not only
this they should have the knowledge
that the large commercial interests
they will be called upon to represent
will ever be ready to furnish tho
necessary sinews of war beyond the
official appropriation should urgen
cy demand We would say appoint
three Commissioners and make an
appropriation of 60000 Give eaoh
Commissioner a salary or honor
arium of 10000 and allow him
5000 for expenses The remain
ing 5000 to bo given to them for
clerical aid
D f
For its size Hawaii is beyond com
pare rich in men competent to be
public men of high rank if they
could only be induced to sacrifice a
portion of thoir private interests for
the publlo gain Nearly twenty
names occur to us of men of irre
proachable personalstanding and
comfortable in means from whom
three Commissioners could bo select
ed but in order to Bet tho ball
rolling we suggest throo who
would be representative and ra6st
oreditable to us And they aro
Pranoia M Hatch Paul Neumann
nnd J O Carter
Onr reasons for selecting those
gentlemen without consulting them
aro these Mr Hatch Is a gontloman
and a lawyer he is an ardent Ameri
can annexationist in private life he
is respeoted and in publlo lifo has
beon honored with the highest gifts
As our Minister to Washington ho
displayed tact judgment know
ledge and a popular personality
His high position madhim ac
quainted and favorably no with
mombors of Congress and men of
mark Though differing from him
in tho polities of tho past we can
respeot and estoom him for his many
good qualitios Lot him look after
tho intorosts of the office holdors
and our vast commercial interests
As one of the Btrongost seconds
and supporters to Mr Hatch we
havo solooted Hon Paul Neumann
President of tho Bar Aasoolation
An Amorican with o strong love for
Hawaii A lawyor and a corpora
tion lawyor sooond to nono hero A
gentleman of genial parts A Stato
Senator in California and nearly a
Congressman from that Stato A
man ripe in oxporionco of govern
mental matters in Hawaii an ox
legislator and ox Minister a states
man of broad and liberal mind and
with almost an international reputa
tion beyond oven tho confines of
Washington whoro he is well known
and furthermore a staunch and true
bluo republican Moreover a man
who is honored for letting his con
viotions stand preeminent bofore
personal considerations
Mr J O Carter wo havo selected
for tho pooplen representative not
bo much on account of tho fact that
he represents tho interests of the
Hawaiian and the lost causo but
because we believe there is no man
in this community who stands so
high iu their regards as he does
His whole life in one of blameless
record and of the highest integrity
and nobility of oharncter A man
true as Bteel and one peculiarly
adapted for suoh a mission Tho
mere fact of his haviug appeared at
Washington In opposition to tho
method of annexation and tho
friendships ho has made in Congress
thereby will add an invincible power
to tho Commission as showing that
Hawaii has accepted her fate in
good faith and is now willing to
bear her part manfully in the organ
ization of the now Territory to tho
honor of the United States No
one is better informed iu the rights
of our commercial interests tho
position of the people and their
vested rights lhan ii Mr Carter and
none is more familiar with our his
tory and laws His position as
trustee of important trusts will
make him conservative and his Am
ericanism progressive so that a
happy medium will bo found
If it be possible to have such a
oommloBion as we have outlined Ha
waii aud the United States will bo
benefitted and our honor and dig
nity preserved with mutual advan
tage So mote it be
A HEINOUS OFFENCE
Mr D G Oamarinos the well
known commission merchant and
fruit dealer was arraigned in tho
Distriot Court charged with ob
structing the sidowalk outside the
California Fruit Market on the cor
ner of King and Alakea streets
Marshal Brown considered the caso
of Buffioiont importance for him to
oonduot tho prosecution personally
and ho succeeded in obtaining a Con-
viotion and a fino for Oamarinos
to
The Marshal is determined to en
force the law relating to obstruction
of sidewalks and public highways
and ho evidently considers it a good
policy to Btart iu quarters where
thoro is small traffic only aud later
on take up the nuisances committed
under his protty nose every day
within a stone throw of his office
whou a Chinese bow mill and lumber
yard are interfering with the com
fort and progress of pedestrians
Mr Oamarinos had placed threo
small boxes containing garlic onions
and spuds on the sidewalk outside
his store The boxes woro not inter
fering with public traffic iu fact very
few pedestriaus pass his store and if
they dont desire to occupy the
whole of tho oloan oomoutod sido
walk thoy certainly cannot come in
coutaot with the garliok etc
Teohnioally we presume that Mr
CamarinoB has violatod the law and
tho judgo imposed a fino of 5 nnd
oosts It ib to bo hoped that tho
Marshal will show no favoritism aud
pull overyono who violates his lat
est ordinance Eight bioyolos woro
placed on the sidewalk betweon
Oamarinos and tho store of
E O Hall Sob this morning and
thoy havo boen thnro ovory day dur
ing tho past weok but no police offi
cer has beon able to seo them and
secure a summons for tho ownors
Whenever a mail stoamer arrives
tho sidewalk around tho postoflljo
Ib blocked by bicyolos nnd vehicles
but the Marshal is too far sighted to
see any violation of the laws at oloso
quarters If wo remember rightly
tho law permits a man to have goods
on the sidowalk for threo consecu
tive hours Tho prosocution in tho
Camarinos case offered no evidence
as to timo and wo dont know wheth
er Mr Oamarinos or any other store
keeper wouldnt be legally entitled
to pjoco a box of garlio or onions on
his sidewalk and chango it every
throe hours It seomed to be tho
main point in the iprosocution that
the box displayed contaiued tho
same old garlics that have been seen
during the last docade or century
Wo admit that the garlio and
onions should find no favor withjtho
authorities except at-a-whoop-it-up
luau but at the same we dont boo
that thoro was any obstruction of a
thoroughfare in this instance
