TOPICS OF THE DAY
In the article beaded Oar Bishop
61 Tonga in Mondays issue we in
advertently stated that it was the
Bishop of Auckland who opposed the
looognition of Bishop Willis by tbo
late Primate of Now Zealand for and
on behalf of that Diocese It should
have been the Bishop of Wellington
a junior in point of consecration he
being of 1891 and Bishop Willis of
1872 Wo hasten to make this cor
rection after our attention has been
called to it
The refusal of Judge Edingi of
Hawaii to rnew the attorneys
lioansn of S K Fua until the latter
had taken the oath to support the
Ropublioau party is a romarkable
Ihing It would be highly improper
for even a Rspublioan judge to do
Buah a thing or oven suggest it as a
qualification for a license to praotior
but when a Democratic judge starts
out to help the Republican party
something must be radically wrong
It is in order for the frieuda of
Judge Edings to explain
At best the sentences in the dis
barment oases wore exceBaivel and
have the appearance strongly of
get eveu tactics and persecution
To deprive a man of the right to
earn a living for himself and family
in a moot serious matter and should
sot bo resorted to except in extreme
eases We do not feel that the air
oumstancea in the Sumner matter
justified the exhorbiUnt and sweep
ing penalties imposepSuepension for
eix months would hare been severe
piinithment and would havo fully
met every demand of the cae In
previewing the sentences one cannot
help reoalling the former tilts
twoon Ohiof Justice Frear and Judgo
Humphreys and Justioo Perry and
Judgo Davis It is impossible to
disconnect the circumstances and a
just public will not fail in the in
terest of fair play to regard the
rulings of Ohiof Justice Frear and
Justice Perry with suspicion
If the late Bopublioan controliod
Legislature failed to provide a fund
with which to pay for floating the
proposed Loan Bill as it really has
so much the better for the country
The Government may in the mean
time1 find the ways and means for
floating it by an appeal to tho bank
ers and merchants looking to the
noxt Legislature to refund the
amount loaned But wo do earn
estly hope that the next Legislature
will not be bo easy as tho late one
The more the publio thinks of tho
disbarment cases the more oertainly
is it convinced that if there was to
be cue conviction all of the princi
pals in the case should have been
convioted Was it the possession of
money and lands or was it politics
that made the difference Perhaps
it was both Justice Galbraith lost
nothing in the estimation of the
publio for the bold stand he took
against the paok of intimidators and
political enemies that had been
barking at him for days
Judgment is being meted out to
certain parties concerned in the re
cent disbarment oases It seems to
be as if it was by tho hand of the
avenging angel for tho uncalled for
strictures and severity meted out to
others as well as for the vindictive
noss displayed when there was no
such necessity Vengeance is mice
I will repay ssith the Lord And
oh such revenge with a certain
amount of vongeanco is sweet par
ticularly to those now living of those
since silenced in the grave
Hawaiians are not a race of mer
chants nor have they aver taksu to
it It is an industry not to their
tastes That faot however should
not and does not disqualify them
for office work or as publio servants
Being n merchant does not specially
fit a man for publio office and it is
to bo noted that a vast majority of
officio holders do not come from the
merchant class at all With one
exception Mr Lansinul he present
heads of dopartmenti and leading
bureaux of the Territorial govern
ment are cot and never were mer
chants
G P Wilder a pet of the Dole ad
ministration is to make a tour of
the Mainland and Europe ostens
ibly for the study of forestry and
agriculture Inasmuch as he lies
been given credentials by Govarnor
Dole to visit Vanderbilta mountain
forest near Aihovilla aad the Block
Forest in Germany we suppose it
will be considered another official
tour and a big bill for expenses will
be filed iu due course As Govoruor
Dole will soon retire from ofDoe we
euppose he doesnt care n rap but
it will be well for leaders of the Re
publican party to remember the
sentiments of the Lgialature in re
gard to unauthorized expenditures

JOINED THE DOMlNANr PAUTY
How a Promlnont and Stronuous
Homo Bulor was Grafted as a
Republican
Our friend Samuol K Jfua of Ma
hikiWaime8Hawoii has boon in the
oity for several days past Since the
inception of Tarritorial politics he
oast his lot with the party of his
poople He is one of the moat active
and stronuous of Home Rulereand a
foroiblo speaker In 1900 he wai
a Senatorial candidate for this Isl
and and in 1902 for Hawaii and was
defeased both timea Ho was the
assistant clerk of the House of Re
presentatives during the first Legis
lature In tho Legislature of 1892
the last under the Monarahy he
represented this Island aa a Repre
sentative
Sinco the last campaign wo under
stand ho has been coerced into
becoming a Republican It came
about in this wise In April of 1901
ho was licensed to practice law in
tho inferior Courts and after the
Legislature he returned to Waimea
and there took up the profession
The term of his license expired last
April and prior thereto ho applied
for a renewal of tho same but he
was written to from here that ho
would have to apply to tho Third
Circuit Court an he was within that
jurisdiction But it is known that
another prominent Home Rule ex
legislator who stumped for tho Re
publicans at the last campaign and
ran for a Hawaii Senatorship and
wbb defeated had alio applied here
to the Judiciary Department for a
renewal and his request was granted
yet in Puas case he received the
cold stare by being referred eUe
whore
After this reference he applied to
Judge Edings Court and he receiv
ed no answer till some time about
the middle of last June Prior to
that time be was urgod to sign the
Republican rolls In order to havo
his license renewedand after mature
consideration he gave way and con
sented and he had no sooner signed
the rolls whon his now licenso was
issued Such is one of the methods
used to graft prominent Hawaiiana
into the Republican ranks
During the last Legislature Mr
Pua was mentioned most favorably
and strongly for tbo position of
Sheriff to be stationed at Waimea
Ho was urged to make application
and after doingjso he has received
no answer to hia application And
of course he has not been appointed
yet as Sheriff of Waimra
