vote may be worth thousands Of dollars, and it
may be bought, If tie voter has the power To do
as Dee chooses. In fact the safety Of the country
J. endangered By leaving such power to an ordi-
nary legislature.
The election Of a King Is not 4 mOnarehlcaI
idea. even IF there were laws which enabled the
people To elect him, for by the monarchical idea
the Supreme Power Of a state is placed in the
hands Of the more intelligent and responsible
minority, rather than with the majority. 1t was
the ancient custom Of Hawaii that the power lay
with the King and bis chiefs, and notwithstand-
ing the dubious sentiment 10 the contrary which, Is
thought to be apparent as the result Of the late
interregnum and election, the old feeling is still
strong in the Hawaiian mind. Sudden changes
Of national customs in regard TO government
ought not to be made, unless for reasons of the
most important nature. Look at the history Of
French revolutions, down TO the dreadful days of
the Commune. Look at Spain, torn by dissent
ing parties. We have always had here a respect
for rank as such. Remove that suddenly, and
leave no high standard Of public intelligence and
education in its place, and you have, in plain
English, the tyranny Of a mob.
We are unable to perceive any good reason
that can be urged against the settlement of the
succession at this time, in the manner and form
provided by the Constitution as quoted above;
but there are many and cOgent reasons in its
favor. a. to the wishes and preferences of the
people in this particular, they can be easily as
certained, if, indeed, there is any doubt on the
subject-which we apprehend there is not.
The present administration (whateyer may be
said of it in other respects) has given evidence of
a just and proper regard for economy in disburs-
ing the public revenues. VIII strict duty be
discharged in this respect if the contingency is
allowed to remain among the possibilities of an
extra session of the Legislature, involving an ex-
pense to our by no means fourishing Treasury of
some $l5 900?
In any event, by settling once for all this ques-
ton of ramon national Importance, His
Majesty's advisers will remove all cause for
anxiety or distrust for the future Will render the
government more stable-stronger both at home
and abroad put an end to intrigues and cabals;
consult the unanimous wish of the people; and
most assuredly they viii consult the real comfort
and pleasure of His Majesty.

The Tichborne case promises to remain on the
carpet in the British courts for some time yet.
Application has been made and granted for the
extension of a further hearing of the trial for one
year, that is to say, until November, 1874. By
that time the public ought TO be thoroughly tired
of it. Indeed public patience is pretty well ex-
hausted now. The reasons for the extension of
time are not specified in the cable dispatch, and at
this distance 1t Is not easy to conceive of any suf-
ficiently important TO warrant twelve-mOnths more
of waiting to bring a criminal to justice, or - let
up on a prosecuted man. One half England APP

while the other half holds continued faith in the
truthfulness of his representations.
