the! Pacific commercial advertiser, Honolulu, tjune? 4, 1901. TH3 PACIFIC Commercial Advertiser W&XmTSR 9. SMITH . - EDITOR. TUESDAY JUNE 4 When Sam Parker comes back he won't need any executive session in which to make his report from the President The Advertiser is able to say on the highest authority in the United States, that Governor Dole will not be re stored or disturbed in the peaceful oc cupation of his office. Judge Edings goes back to his own circuit with the respect of the bar and the community. He has worked hard, been patient, forbearing and impartial, and has kept up the dignity of the court without sensationalism. In brief, the best traditions of the island judici ary were maintained by Judge Edings throughout his assignment here. Beckley's statement that the Presi dent asked him to visit Washington be fore the next Congressional session, is an eager bid for another junketing trip. In all probability the President, having Delegate Wilcox and Mr. Hay wood to consult about Hawaiian mat ters, said nothing of the kind. But as Beckley has tasted the delights of travel at somebody else's expense, he is quite of the mind to keep on doing so. We wonder if anybody will be simple minded enough to put up for him? , The attacks on the Food Inspector, made yesterday in the Legislature, I were probably egged on by men who want to sell adulterated wares. The inspector has done great work for pure food, and as there is still great work ti be done a strong desire exists in certain quarters to head him off. In some lines of edible goods Hawaii is v: dumping place for things that are ..unsalable elsewhere: and it is the busi ness of the inspector to warn the pub- He.' Without him there is no telling what we might have to eat and drink. . ... A parallel case.

The brief indulges in biting sarcasm in relation to the innocent remarks of the majority opinion concerning trusts in jreneral and the Fair trust in particular. the Appropriation bill and the unwis dom of trying to hamper the Govern ment. The attitude of the President was that of a patient father tfcying to put some sense into the head of as. ob streperous child. Meanwhile, the Advertiser learns on genera ana tne j. air wu m authority which cannot be questioned. The following language from the Governor Dole wjn not De dlsturb.

These are hard words, but there are harder still in the brief. Justice Hen ahaw, whose vote changed the decision on the second hearing, Is charged with "Inadvertence" in his treatment of the cae, which is of course only a polite way ef saying he did not know what he was writing about. He Is charged with flatly contradicting his former opinion, and it is even pointed out that there Is a diametrical opposition between his last opinion and that of his three colleagues, with whom he says he concurs.

Meantime pop ulation has increased 150 per cent, and gold and silver, which form the basis of the money with which debt payments are made, 300 per cent, which with the utilization of the various forms of cred it as currency, may have increased the world's circulating medium quite In proportion to the increase in national debts. This enormous increase in national indebtedness is chiefly the result of wars, standing armies and works of public utility. To this may be added a tendency in many cases to create an annual deficit by expenditures exceed ing revenues made in deference to pop ular demand, which deficits ultimately take the form of funded of bonded in debtedness. But the bulk of these enomous debts is from war and war preparations and the construction of public works, such as railways, canals, harbors and the improvement o.f wafcer- . ways. -Of the railways of the world, whose total cost has been estimated at $30,000,000,000; about' one-third are own . ed by national, governments, indicating I that approximately one-third of the in crease in indebtedness has been applied to works of this character. But the fact .that great wars have compelled the . nations engaged in them to - make j enormous additions to the funded 4n dfebtednes9. clearly identifies this as the principal, factor in the great increase in national indebtedness which has characterized the history of national finances in the nineteenth century.

' - . . I oucciAna on 1 x suppoeed thai Mr. Justice Henshaw was not aw of what the opinion which he signed plainly states or that he would have signed it if his views had not been in accord with it. It must be that the matter escaped his attention on the last occas'on. We suggest, with the utmost deference and respect, that th6 learned Justice is In manifest error as to what he decided In 1900, and that If allowed an opportunity we may be able to con vince him he is equally In error as to what Is decided by the opinion of the three Justices in which he 3ays he con curs." The brief goes on to charge a vital in consistency between Justice Henshaw'a recent opinion and that of his three col leagues with whom he concurred. Con corning justice ienshaw's reasons for nis change of position the brief says His reason for his change Is that there was no legal estate which could vest in the trustees and consequently "no es tate in law to support the equity." This la in direct contradiction of the opinion of the other three Justices with whom Mr. Justice Henshaw says he con curs. If the proposition which they lay down be sound the distinction which in duced Mr. Justice Henshaw to change his conclusion can have no foundation. Not only Is it without foundation, but It is Inconsistent with the opinion of the three Justices whose concurrence Is equally necessary with his own to con stitute a decision. A house divided against Itself cannot stand. It Is not a case of different Justices proceeding on different ground. It is a case of those whose concurrence is nec essary to a decision proceeding on dia metrically opposite grounds on an essen tial point After dealing with Justice Henshaw the brief goes on to handle his three colleagues, Garoutte, McFarland and Harrison, whose present position 19 the Soldier Life in the Philippines.
