eivad many reports from the outer
F dlttriatB of how politico were carried
f on by the now dominant party with
Us 0MIvaae of ofHeials But
pW wish moje partisularly to speak
r of the Lepir Settlsment where of
til plaits whisk is dirsatly uadar
1 11 tkt control of the Government de-
baaahsry sbonld not run rampant
which aaanato tare been universal
ly the oase and done by the party of
morality daoaney ictelligenes and
Its all thing that ara good
4 tTha reports from the borough
uadar the fomtrel of the Board of
Health although tardy In ceasing
ii nevertheless timely aa showing to
what depthi thote who profess to
be friends of the siek goto gain
T their alUrior eodi be it either by
fair or foul means To be merciful
tat scents enacted there in direst
violation of law and of the rules
r aad regulations were disgraceful
I and thats putting it mild In fast
m
they were conscienceless and iu
uttor disregard of the health and
welfare of the peoples charges If
all that our correspondent says
whioh wo will herein depict is true
disgraceful and instead of being
olevntlnfl it was verydogrndinuBnd
jot our pious lot will only hold up
their hands in holy horror bow
their heads and aoy that all was fair
and proper because they gainod the
day
Our oorrospoadont Bays that
politico bore wore rotten I say
rotten beonuso thoy tho Republi
cans had a luau in full blast not
200 feet away from the Totinn place
and liquor tho hod all they want
which flowed like water Not only
hard stuff but horn made swipes
and the Superintendent merely
looked on and did nothing to stop
it All was done openly and not
behind closed doors The picture
hero presented must have been
something horrible and yet such is
one kiad of righteousness that
ezaltoth a nation in tho oyoa of
hard cash patriotB who came all
the way from Boston to teaoh and
elevate the young of this aonatry to
higher standards of ideals whereby
they might become good people
Lot clone doing it among the
well but among tho pro
noribod diseased wards of the peo
ple it is beneath the comprehension
of any cane Christian people It is
u well known fact that undor the
rulos and regulations governing the
Settlement tho Board of Health
has restricted the introduction of
liquor there but what has it been
doing and those who are supposed
to exeouto the laws of tho country
as well aa the rules and regulations
alluded to by inference and implica
tion T Will the Attorney General
who is a member of tho Board ef
Health order an investigation into
this shameful debauchery of a peo
ple oont thorp to end their days in
-the throes of a loathsome disease t
Wc oanuot for the lifo of us be
lieve that suoh a thing was possible
Would the Governor be sufSciently1
brave to order an inveBtigationby
unbiased persons without any white
washing process or will Judge Ke
poikai who ia himself interested in
the well being of his race order an
investigation by hia Courts grand
jury at its next session 1 We have
our doubts that they will not be
cause it will implicate their party
It is claimed by politicians that
the last one who got there and had
the last cay who were the Maui Re
publican candidates did the work
and turned tho voters their way In
our opinion thats all rot The
piaturo painted herein was what did
the work and not the popularity of
the men who were not Believing
that the Settlement held the balance
of power to turn the election they
resorted to sueh debaeing methods
unmindful of the ontcomo as long
as it justified the end gained
We expeot to hear President Pink
bam ef tho Board of Health deny
what no baro say aid aay that
no liquor was ever allowed to land
there prior to eleotion day He will
also deny that no luau was givennear
the polling place on that day and
that thu drinking of swipes openly
and in cijUt of ail ao not tolerated
Apd that furar ha will deny all
what we hero chorda vaa done there
and hull go furthsr aad cay that tho
rules cud regulations with regard to
liquors wara strictly enforaad All
of wbtou we will cot belfevo him
on oath
JfioJUeUieiiljbrjqQOhjBMfulindJ But how about our aaiutly people
will they tolerate such debasing de
bauchery as being that righteouo
nesa whioh exalteth a nation
which we claim to bo neither right
eous nor exalting The Kaneoho
debauchery is in our opinion noth
ing compared to this whiek was one
of the aausaB that brought about tho
bloodless revolution of 1887 That
was then when the shoe ptnehod the
other foot but now it is different
All is fair in lovo and war and
politics may be classed aa love and
war combined in whieh loro
carried the war

Mr Small farmer Siaith is still

Tho idea of Federal inquiry into
the methods of conducting the re
cent election did not of course
enter the mind of tho Republicans
at the time the rascality was going
Thoy figured that if the matter

al court whore more or less effective

to squelch the eaao Now that the

It has been here right along and

absolute necessity We do not advo

GEARS OPINION
IN CARTER mi
Judge Gear this morning made
his ruling in tho oase of Governor
Carter the following being tho most
important pointB yond ths case is
now roibr os
It Ib apparent from these two
communications that tho first one
atatod orally by the Deputy Attorn
ey General and the matter through
the Governors message to the At
torney General that the reason first
given for the Governors
namely reasons of public
policy is not oontained in the
second That tho doaument sought
to bo obtained by the first tubpoona
is not one whieh could ba withheld
as a otato secret ia apparent to
anyone who ha3 bein in this Terri
tory for any length of timo for it is
a matter of notoriety that the
Governor of the Territory haB held
the resignation of everyone appoint
ed by him or holding ofSoa under
him excepting the former treasurer
Hoo Noah Kopoikai It is a matter
of Court record that upon objection
being made in tho trial of a ease
beforo one of the District Magis
trates to the effect that the Govoru
or held the resignation of tho
Magistrate the Governor theroupon
returned tho resignation of such
Magistrate and if thu Court is not
in error returned tho resignations
of all the District Magistratoa in the
Islands There it absolutely no
foundation for a claim that it is
incprnpatible with public policy
to produce ia Court what is not a
secret rosord of the Governors
oSce and it eeoms to ma thst thia is
not a cast where it ia sought to
obtain papers containing state
oserets
The contention of tho Governor
that it does not oomport with tho
dignity of the Tarritory and is not
compatible with the dignity of tho
office I hold to appear in Court in
obedienco to the subpoenas issued
seemsto me to require little comment
The Governor admits that tho
Court is a co ordinate Department
of the Territory and ia this ho is
clearly right The departments of
the Government are three viz Tho
executive legislative and judicial
As said by the Courts These de
partmnnla are equal co ordinate
and independent
It is the duty of thelepialative
department to make the laws the
duty of the judioial department to
oonstrna and apply them and it is
the duty of the exeeutiva depart
ment to ate that suoh laws arc
faithfully eiecutod
The judicial department as to
the laws is now in the oaae at bir
endeavoring to construe and apply
them
Iteeema to me that the Governor
shonld in tho discharge of his duty
to seo that suoh laws are faithfully
executed be willing to oome into
Court and give his evidenoe in this
oase when he has been regularly
subpoenaed by a defendant who
by the Constitution of the United
State is entitled to proceis to
oompel the attendance of witnesses
iu his behalf
Although defendants counsel
acted within his legal rights in
issuing the subpoena it seems to mo
that it would have been batter in
the fiiBt place had counsel asked tho
Court to personally request the
attendanee of the Governor at a
witness
After commenting in detail upon
the action of Governor Carter and
quoting authorities respecting tho
same the Court concludes n3 fol
lows
However uudertanding olnarly aa
I do that the Chief Executive has
refused to obey tho oubpoana I am
yet averse to having him brought
into Court to show causo why he
should not be committed for oou
tempt and will therefore order that
the citation do not issue Iu so
doing I do not over look the right
of thu defendant to have produced
all material evidence for his de
fence When the proper time comes
I shall rule on the matQrlnlity of the
testimony whioh it is ntloged tho
Governor -would give Should it bo
held by the Court that such testi
mony is not material tho matter
will end there On the other hand
should the Court bold the testi
mony material the prosecution will
be compelled to admit that tho
Oovornor wonld testify as set fortb
in ths motion and that suoh facts
aro true and upon the refusal of
tho prosecution so to admit tho
jury will be instructed to return a
verdict of not guilty for a refusal
to have afforded to the defendant
his constitutional rights
