the last day of November OF each year shall have
elapsed, then the tax collector is authorized to sue
him before the District Justice of that district, and II
the suit is sustained, he shall pay the taxes sued Tor,
and one dollar besides for costs for the benefit OF the
Royal Exchequer, but he can appeal from thedecision
OF the District Justice"
Now, Mr.. Justice Griswold, will you tell the
laboring men and mechanics of your district,
whom Won have taxed each with four dollars
costs, where you get the authority from 80 to'tax
them? Don't refer them to the old Fee Bill OF
1913. That allows one dollar for summons and
two dollars for serving, and one dollar for enter
ing Judgment. This they know as well as you
but the repeating clause of the new tax-law of
1855, %. 25, section II, reads:
All parts Of the existing laws in conflict with the
provisions of this Act shall be, and the same are
hereby repealed. Approved 4th June, A. D., 1855"
Now can there be any pretences whatsoever
that even under this demonstrations law to col
lect three or five dollars. there is any right to inn
pose upon the people FOUR DOLLARS instead of one
for costs. The Police Justice will oblige us by
referring TO his authority. If derived from the
laws, let us know where it is to be found. If from
the instruction Of the Ministers, let us know that
and if he has no authority, then he will please to
hand back the three dollars to each one from
whom he has exacted it, before public indigna-
ton becomes more aroused.

lICuSDA IGDn ~ T.
The HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT is a Constitutional
Monarchy. The Constitution, passed by the Leg
~islature, approved by the people and sanctioned
BY the King, is the foundation on which our
laws are based. With it all our statutes
must harmonic, or when inconsistent with its
principles, they must be set aside or declared
void by the judicial tribunals of the country. The
mere passing of an act by the Legislature, and its
approval by the King, is not sufficient to make
that statute binding as a law of the land. Thrust
also clearly harmonic with the Constitution.
The l4th article of this instrument reads
"The King conducts his government for the COM
mon good, for the protection, safety, prosperity and
happiness of his people, and not for the profit, honor,
or private interest of any one man, family or class OF
men among his subjects. Therefore in making laws
for the nation, regard shall be had to the protection,
interest. and welfare, not only of the King, chiefs
and rulers, but all the people alike"
The communication published Ii in this paper last
week has called public attention not only to the
mode of collecting taxes by an abuse of the judi
cial power, but to the tax itself. The taxes at
present imposed are these:

JOHN HrpE-This gentleman, whom our readers
will remember as having lectured in Honolulu on
Mormonism about a year ago, was at last accounts,
englightening the people of Washington city as to
Brigham Young and the Saints of Utah. The WASH
ington Star speaks very highly of Mr.. Hyde's abili-
ties as a lecturer and devotes a large space to a review
of his statements. We quote the concluding para
graphs:
NJ Hyde says that in q late visit to Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, he was struck by the remarkable
similarity in style of speech, &C., between Brigham
Young and Henry Ward Beecher. Beecher resembles
Young in his closely shaven face; his careless manner
of ~disposing his hair; his off-hand freedom from con-
ventionalisms; his style of walking the platform
while speaking; and his power of impressing his
audience by his rough energy.
MIR. Hyde gives Brigham the credit Of sincerity
in his faith, and designates him rs the Ignatius
Loyola of Mormonism.
"The lecturer, in his concluding remarks upon
the monstrous nature of the Mormon delusion, allu-
ded feelingly TO the fact that his wife still chung to it,
and, with his infant child, remained at Salt Lake
City.
:" His next lecture, he announced, would be on the
political aspect of the question, sPolygamy and its
Remedy"
