THOSE REVERSALS.
The expert who has been doing
the records of the Supreme Court
for the purpose of discrediting
Judge Little exposed the nnimus of
his labors by incorporating m his
list of reversals, charged to the
Ililo Judge, a case that was taken
up from a Maui Court. That this
same correspondent to the Adver
tiser was not a chronicler of facts,
but a mere ignoble defamer, it is
only necessary to tell the facts in
the case of lfugihara, sent back for
re-sentence.
This case was scheduled by the
Advertiser weathercock as a rever
sal. It was nothing of the sort.
I'Ugihnra was sentenced by the
Hilo Court. The appeal was under
advisement so long by the Supreme
Court hat the date of execution
passed before the matter was de
termined. It was then obviously
necessary to all except the weather
cock, that the Hilo Court suffered
no reflection upon its learning or
dignity in having to perform so sad
a duty twice. It is also obvious to
those who care to follow the un
certain and devious ways of cases
at law, that with the personnel of
the upper court as it is now consti
tuted, reversals will be visited upon
Hilo at all times unless a statute
specifically forbidding the same is
pointed out by counsel. Its all a
part of the same game.

The Chinese of this city will publish a weekly paper
called the WORLD NEWS. The object of the journal is
to spread wisdom, practical knowledge and the news of the
day among the Chinese people. In China there are few
newspapers, which is largely the reason why the Chinese
people arc so far behind the times compared with Eu
ropeans and Americans.
For this reason the leading Chinese merchants of the
Hawaiian Islands have formed a company for the publi
cation of a Chinese paper at Hilo.
Mr. H. Jackson, a gentleman of superior talents and
education has beeen employed as editor. He has had seven
year's editorial experience at Honolulu.
The offices of the newspaper arc on Front Street, Bow
Wong hall. Advertisers will communicate with cither W.
K. Akaua or Hop Warn Co.
The officers of the new publishing company arc W. K.
Akaua, president; H.Jackson, editor; Latt On, reporter; L.
Ah Hip, Sam Fook, Young Got, Hop Warn, and-Wo Hop
Kec, directors.
A POETIC ERUPTION.
One of the mysterious proposi
tions which just now confronts the
editor of the Tkiuuni; is the abnor
mal flood of poetry seeking admis
sion to the columns of this journal.
During a two year's residence in
these Islands, which have been
spent in desultory newspaper work,
it has not been our good fortune .to
encounter much poetry. Back in
the northern counties of Missouri
and in the arid stretches of Cen
tral Washington, poetry used to
come into the country newspaper
offices in bundles as big a beer keg.
Here in Hawaii where the divine
afflatus needs no conjuring beyond
that afforded by the wimpling
waves and the limpid landscape,
the muse has sadly neglected its
graft. Hut lately the nine sisters
have been getting in their work.
The Trihuni? now receives from
one to two efforts each week. They
are all splendid effusions. They
are withheld, however, from the
gaze of common mortals until an
acccumulation of .songs accumu
lates in such dimensions as will
justify the publication of the whole
wad between two lids. Meanwhile
let the poetic mills continue to
grind. There is poetry in every
heart. It is like the gold in the
ruby sands of the Pacific shores.
The only trouble is to find a meth
od of extraction. There is also
good alimentation for the poet of
Hawaii. There is little excuse in
the Paradise of the Pacific for bad
poetry. If any is born from seeth
ing hearts, surcharged with metrical
emotion, why should it not be per
fect? Why this rot that weekly
pours into the Tkihunk sanctum,
when the environment of our pre
sumably long haired anonymous
but soulful correspondents, is an
eternal, vernal arcadian dream ?
Tmc visiting United States Sena
tors who will come to investigate
Hawaiian conditions will arrive in
Honolulu probably on the 2nd day
of September. They should be
given seats of honor at the Terri
torial Convention. It would not be
amiss, either, to ask them to de
scribe the sort of delegate they
would like to have go to Washing
ton. Tin? idiot in Honolulu who
wanted to know what "Stacker
meant by Little" should address
his queries to a more intelligent
man and resign from the Republi
can Committee at once.
THE RIGHT OF COUNSEL.
Tin; case against the Japanese
accused of murder was continued
three days this week to allow the
attorneys for the defense an oppor
tunity to consult with their clients.
The court room was the only place
in Ililo where the conference could
be held.Jso beginning Wednesday
afternoon the accused and their de
fenders held audience, with police
men guarding both exits.
It has yet to be proved or shown
what the Territory, or the People,
rather, who arc arrayed against
these Japanese, would have lost,
had the Sheriff and the Courts of
this District allowed the accused
right of counsel from the moment
they were taken in custody. The
prisoners may be guilty. They
may be the worst thugs that were
ever tolerated in a civil community.
Yet no one can give a valid reason
why they should not have had the
advice of legal counsel from the
moment their lives and liberty were
in jeopardy.
SinjuiPif Andrkws has no more
right to withhold the records of the
Coroner's jury from the pub
lic than he has to execute a
man who is not under sentence of
capital punishment by a competent
court.
Governor Doi.k will soon issue
a proclamation making three pre
cincts out of the Second precinct
in the Hilo District. Separate
voting places will be cstablashed
at Olaa and Waiakea.

If methods involved in this case
so far, are proper and legal, there is
110 reason why the Sheriff should

that it was done with the sanction

According to the Herald, the
