HAWAII'S JUDICIARY.
The editor of the Independent nt
Honolulu sheds tears because there
arc a few American judges on the
bench in Hawaii. That paper finds
fault with the only article in Ha
waii which bears the true Ameri
can stamp. The Independent says:
"Jurists they may all be and un
derstand American justice and jur
isprudence, but from what we have
so far seen of them, they are not at
all satisfactory in our way of think
ing." "Our way of thinking" is of
course another way of saying that
judges arc wanted who will not
give a square deal in all matters
that come up before them. Ha
waii does not want jurists on the
bench or men who understand Am
erican justice and jurisprudence.
Legal learning and uprightness are
also qualifications which impede
the wheels of justice. It was un
fortunate that McKinley and Roose
velt felt that an appointee to the
bench in Hawaii ought to be some
thing of a lawyer, and in a measure
acquainted with the laws and the
spirit of the Courts of the United
States. It was in fact an insult to
the Dole Government and the old
regime, for an American President
to remodel the fountains of justice
in Hawaii by appointing judges
with brains and legal knowledge.
The old Hawaiian system of ap
pointing law clerks to the Supreme
and Circuit benches was far more
satisfactory to the old lawyers and
to clients who owned shares in the
Court.
- An independent, upright judi
ciary is the greatest curse that
comes to any country.
Nkxt week will be the Elk week
in Hilo. A crowd of thirty-five
from Honolulu, headed by District
Deputy Grand Ruler, Dr. C. B.
Cooper in coming. They come to
establish a Hilo lodge, which will
start with over fifty members.
Arrangements arc being made to
properly entertain the visiting Elks.
Demosthenes has been nsked to pre
pare a banquet. There arc no
strings to the ordfcrs given and the
least, it is said, will eclipse any
thing yet given in Hilo.

KONA'S BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
The reported success of Mr.
Coerpcr in promptly obtaining the
funds for the Kona-Kau railroad is
n most gratifying rift in the clouds
hanging over the progress of the
Koua district and means as well a
great deal for the progress of the
Territory at large.
The success of this railroad pro
ject means the opening to settlers
of a district that has practically re
mained undeveloped, but which
offers some of the best home sites
to be found in the Territory. Fur
thermore, it is the aim of the rail
road company to nid especially in
the promotion of diversified indus
try as it is believed the small
farmers will be the best feeders of
the line, and will, by virtue of su
perior transportation facilities, be
able to cultivate agricultural pro
ducts other than sugar at a profit.
At the same time the road is cer
tain to give new strength to the
sugar enterprises already in opera
tion and assist in solving many of
the difficulties under which the dis
trict has labored.
These Islands can easily produce
all the vegetables and fruits needed
to supply the local market. All
that is necessary is cheap transpor
tation and the men to cultivate the
fields. Both these essentials are
promised by the Kona railway en
terprise as it is the plan ot the pio
moters to solicit for the iiumigia
tiou of American farmers to the
district, following out as far as pos
sible the scheme of the gieat conti
nental railways.
There is every reason to believe
the new railway will be the nucleus
for the upbuilding of just such a
farmer community as has lung been
sought, but has thus far got no
further than the theoretical stage.
When American capitalists are
ready to invest their money in such
an enterprise there is every reason
why it should receive all the local
moral and financial assistance it is
within the power of our citizens
and the Teiritorial government to
give. Uvening Bulletin.
Shipment or 0,000 Gallons Tor Hot
IIIiib at Honolulu.
H. I,. Williams, the promoter of
the Puna sisal and Volcano Mine
ral water enterprises arrived in
Hilo by the Kinau this week with
enough barrels to carryback to Ho
nolulu 6,000 gallons of the life
giving fluid which for ages has
percolated through the volcanic soil
of Puna and wasted itself in the
sea. The famous warm spring in
Puna, hitherto known only to the
bathers who found rare virtues in
their translucent depths, will furn
ish a new export commodity for
the Hawaiian Islands.
Commercially, the warm waters
from Puna will be known as "Ka
waiakeakua Volcano Water." It
will go into the marts of trade, a
fierce competitor to "Shasta" and
"Saner brim." ' Big houses in New
York and other eastern cities have
placed large orders and the Kinau I
will carry it to Honolulu by the I
hogshead, where it will be bottled
for transmission to the Continent.
Mr. Williams was formerly a
Colorado mining man, and in that
country learned a great deal about
the mysterious properties of miner
al waters both hot and cold. He
came over to Puna some time ago
on a sisal proposition and incident
ally learned of the well known
springs. He scented a bonanza.
He secured a thirty year lease on
700 acres of good sisal laud and
managed to include within the
boundaries of the tract, the Vol
canic springs. He enlisted in the
scheme the copcratiou of Cecil
Brown, prominent financier of Ho
nolulu and 1 M. Hankey, a lead
ing attorney in the same city.
They formed a company. They
have had their labels printed. The
label shows the Volcano Kilauea in
full action, the red cascade of mol
ten lava, appearing in striking con
trast to the cerulean blue of a per
fect Hawaiian sky in the back
ground. The company will have
the distinction of putting on the
market the only Volcano water in
the world and the only mineral
water from the Hawaiian Islands.
The output for the Holululu
trade will be shipped to Honolulu
in barrels and bottled at the same
place. All that is required for the
export trade will be bottled in Hilo
and shipped direct to San Francisco,
New York or other cities from
Hilo. The Hilo plant will be in
operation within three mouths.
Analyses of the water made by the
Government chemist show the
presence of a number of chemical
pioperties of high medicinal value.
The most conspicuous and active
elements are chloiiue salts and sul
phuric acid. Silica and magnesia
are also present. The Company
will place their product throughout
the world and the promoters believe
that the Puna springs will ere long
be as wide famed as Hawaii itself.
her first visit to the Coast; when
Eugene Field was here in 1894, the
year before his death, ho came
alone.
Mrs. Field is known to the ad
mirers of the most original and
best-loved of all Western writers as
the heroine of his impetuous early
wooing, the keeper of the family
purse upon which he made such
reckless assaults, and the inspirer
of some of his best and sweetest
verse. She was, before her mar
riage, Miss Julia Sutherland Corn
stock of St. Joseph, Mo. Eugene
Field met her when she was 16
years old, and when he was still
little more than a boy. This was
just before he started on his famous
six months tour of Europe. Upon
his return he married her, in spite
of strong objections made upon the
score of her youth and his own improvidence.
Hugo's Hlrtlulny.
Paris, Feb. 26. The series of

Rousscau, the Premier, and the
other members of the Cabinet, the

to the Pantheon escorted by a
squadron of cuirassiers.
The President and the Cabinet
Ministers took their seats in the
official tribune erected in the Pan
theon, while in the transept beneath
the dome were two other tribunes,
one to the richt reserved for Mine.
Loubet and the wives of the Min
isters, and the other to the left for
the members of Victor Hugo's

diplomatic corps.
Luk bun of Siuiiur Caught.
Manila, Feb. 26. General Smith,

scouts have captured Lukban, the
notorious leader of the Samar
rebels, and brought him to Laguan,

William Dunston, said to be a de
serter from Company C, Eighth
Infantry, who had in his possession
a lot of arms and ammunition and
all of the tools necessary for the
making of ammuniiion. He was

on the inland of Samar. The lieu
tenant also destroyed the cuartel
and the factory and killed eleven
soldiers, besides capturing all of
Dunston's correspondence. .
Ciilmn Reciprocity.
Washington, Feb. 22. The Re
publican members of the Ways and
Means Committee, who have been
considering the questions of con
cessions to Cuba at several meetings
during the week, finally reached an
agreement this afternoon which is
considered a victory for those who
have favored taiiff concessions to
that island. The action taken was
the adoption of a resolution author
izing the President to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with the Cuban
Mrs. Kugciio Field Coming.
San Francisco, Feb, 27. Mrs.

Field, is making a short visit in
