TOPICS OF THE DAY
Boat assured women of Central
Church prayers are too

one as Senator Geo It Carter

jeot of tho wish is farther from tho

Since ft has been declared that
tho beer licenses issued by the Ter
ritory iaunconatitutioual inasmuch
that it is against tho United States
constitution and law tho same
shall and rmy bo deemed uttorly
void and of uo force and effeot But
as to exprsssing an opiuion pro and
con Tiie Independent feels that the
Barns should be left to those mora
competent to deal with legal mat-
teraand particularly to those having
judioial mindi Judge Estoaa de
cision may be sustained is a con
elusion to ba soon whoa tho appeal
has been taken by thoso most con-
corned oad interested w
AridfinSwicbmesAttorney General
Dole and gives bis legal opinion in
regard to the tbousandaore oliiuse
in the tOrganio Act Hogavo it
upon tho request of tho Governor
which was given to tho Executive
Gounoil yesterday while Jiri session
In tliB powers of this Territory to
sell and convoy lauds ho advices
the government to act on tho pre-
sumption that the clause applies to
the full extent whioh Congrosa evi
dently intended and says In case
of a sale of public laud I think no
bid should be acoepted ftom a cor
poration owning a thousand acres
Right you aro Mr Dole andfTiiE
Independent is with you
- Now that Judge Estee of tho U
S Fedoral Distriot Court has de
cided and declarod that the Frimo
Beer licenses are unconstitutional
and void and haB enjoined Treasur
er Wright of this Territory from is
0 riuing nnv moroevjhlioonuoB upon
tlie injunction prayed for by cer
tain dealers in baer and liquors an
other Eourco of rovonuo to tho Ter
ritorial Government so far as this
raso is oonoornod is at an end
Whether this will settle tho matter
Jjat present undecided as far as the
Uoverumont by its treosuror is oou
i orned It is likely that an appeal
may be taken by tho corporation
most interested whilo the beer
bilooDB dispensing the beverage
may still go on and soil the product hinds of those in power and of tho

Comfort to one who is DUjnvijteralo

as to ono whoso heart and mind aro

wth sorrow particularly during tho
Lenten fa3t But to one of the
Senator Carter kind now on bi3
way to Washington rejoicing air
wishing with deep oxpootancy to
gain a coveted post of honour and
power as well it is hardly of no
avail at all Tho prayers of mothers
will not bo of any good to ono ns
he for tho wig wonrirg senator

senator has been known to go a Gah
iug a hunting a yachting and what
not on tho Lords day Sunday

use as ho is not abovo nor boyond

privately
pointod out Independent
might have erred in its strictures
upon those persons who Bold beer at
Hoolulu Ftrk in Hiio on the two
days raco meet held thore tho be
ginning of this year fojr thoy might
have had the permission of the Gov
ernment for tho privilege of doing
so during thoso two days They
might have had tho licemo to do so
and which accounts for the
tho Sheriff and his
poiico And then again even if
such was tho case was it right that
suchicepse should have been allow
ed to tho detriment of the other
beer and licfuor dispensers who
owned and kept saloons thore at
great expense for tho purpooo and
who paid much higher license fees
for tho privilege It was not just
to tho saloon keepors and it should
not as a matter of right and justice
have been allowed thore
- Tim Independent is ofJthe opinion
that it is rightly within tho province
of the Superintendent of Public
Works to regulate tho speed wUh

may bo said on the down grado from

Aud still again Tue Tndepsndsnt
bolieveB that tho right ia vested by
authority of law iu the Superintend
ent of Publio Works to issue regu

the necessity of his doing bo at
once or as soon as practicable be
fore any very serious accidents oo
our Acaidonts have already oc
curred somo fatallbnd to prevent

iaryf and ho ought to geta move
right away aud immediately too
Bettor lato than novor is a truo
sayingaud wo give this out for what
it is worth it being1n our opinion
worth somo consideration at tho
Is it proerflional iu au attornoy
afteTbeiug ougaged by clients to
dofend them and had recoifid cer
tain stated fees from them to so de-
fond them to liiru Slatert attorney
for a further feo against others who
wero arrested at tho same time and
for the samo clTdDfe We ask tho
abovo in thu causo of justice aud of
fairuoos to all concerned This has
really happqnod in Hilo where a
certain bloulf attorney thorp was
engaged to defend certain parlies
for tho cotanvasiou of a coitiiu of-
fouss that of gambling ngaiust the
laws of this country and aftor
learning all about their stqrics as to
tboir side of tho case not fiall for
getting to first bitpcl thorn with an
excoBBivo and an exorbitant stated
fee offered his sorvicoa to tho Gov
ernment dating that ho wbb well
nnquainted with tho case and of
course know well thu salient pointB
of how to prosecute thorn Tho
attornoy was finally accepted and
engaged ly tho Sheriff Wo were
informed that the attorney asked a
good fee audwaspaid out Of poiico
funds as n speoial oilicar Hero
again is another matter against tho
Czar Sheriff that deserves investiga
tion But as to the ponderous legal
luminary we deem his conductvory
unprofessional and unbecoming ono
who dooms himself a shining legal
star or otherwise wo aro at a loss
to kuow the difference between pro
fessional and unprofessional con

about two feot loiif and tho arms
each about as longand is studded in

missionary orixin
Tbo claim is made that thore is
none othor of the knd ixaut nor
known to exist at the prnroLt time or
to have existed since tho miftsinuarios
arrived hero in 1820 But tho olaim
is aho made tbnt it is known that
one two prouRod kahili existed in
the lime of Lonoikamakahiki a very
huh and sadred chief who reigned
over this island and Hawaii niinul
taneously about two or three centu
ries ago or even more
It ia said that it was du ing his
time that a kahili of this kind was
made for him and boint very large
ther birds of Hawaii Bbriekedj ecreo ru
ed and cried from the pain attend
ant upon the plucking ofl their
gaudy plumage This kahili was so
large that it wa3 known as Kawelo

There is also anotlfor kahili han

of the well known singlo lund This
is also of whnlebono and about four
feot in length but the haudlo po
per is composed of seotious of ivory
