Wife Whipping not Allowed in NORTH

The following case, State VS..

barbaric idea that man has a right

Tur vrcrrAR SESSION Of the legislature Of 1874
will 5nmence on Thursday next, when the As
sembly will be formally opened with q speech
Pom the Throne. The uttorances Of the Head Of
the nation on such occasions arc always looked
for with interest and listened 10 with critical
attention, bat under present CT cumstances OF
both King and people, the interest will be en-
HANGED. and every sentence and word OF the
Royal speech viii be carefully scanned and
weighed. Fesidcs the prominent topics Of the
preservation and TecuPsTation Of the people and
the encouragement Of agriculture and commerce,
which have been 30 frequently urged IN addresses
during the recent Royal Progress, the speech will
undoubtedly refer particularly (among ether
matters Of Importance to tie proposed amend
ments t. the Constitution, which were laid before
the country at the extra session Of the Legislature
Of 1872. Two OF these amendments are Of par
amount mOment-the abolition Of the property
qualification for electors, and the re-diyision Of
the Legislature into two Houses. These were
distinctive features Of the Constitution Of 1852,
the voluntary promise Of Lunalilo to restore which
was the main-spring OF the general enthusiasm
that greeted his accession. We have az yet had
no intimatiOn Of the views entertained by the
members Of the present Cabinet on these points,
and they are consequently unpledged TO any
special policy. <KALAKAUA's advisers are credited
however with the possession Of broad and liberal
principles, and W venture the prediction that,
perceiying and correctly interpreting the signs Of
the times in Hawaii nei, they will favor the adoP-
ton Of the most important Of the proposed amend
ments. And we hope still farther to see the
principle distinctly recognized, that so soon as a
Ministry ceases to possess the confidence of the
country. that moment they must cease to hold
Office.
In view Of the situation Of the country in every
particular that concerns the national advancement
and prosperity, tine session of 1874 ought to
prove one Of unprecedented Importance and value.
Since the above was penned, in response to an
enquiry concerning the measures to be put for
ward by Government at the coming session of the
Legislature, we are informed that
The amendments to the Constitution are in the
main to be supported.
The necessity of encouraging immigration will
be urged.
Steps will be taken to encourage steam naviga-
ton with foreign countries.
The water supply of Honolulu is intended to
be increaged.4
Some modification of the law of divorce will
be asked.
Changes in the Judicial system may be pro-
posed.
a limitation of imprisonment under the Master
and Servant Act, will be suggested.
a Bill will be presented to define the nature of
the right of equity of redemption in foreclosure
of mortgages, and to prescribe more fully the
rights Of mortgages forecIOsing under power Of
sale.
In the brief time that the new administration
have had for preparing for the Legislative Session,
of course many details must remain for further
consideration.

"SAUCE FOR the goose is sauce for the gan
DEF" is one of those homely old proverbs that
tcrsely sets forth the principle of fair play and
no favoritism, and the words ought to be con-
spicuously painted over the doors of public
Offices. Under the late administration, the
Minister of the Interior gave the licensed liquor
dealers to understand that if they transgressed
the laws applicable to their business, the penal
ties of those laws would lie strictly enforced.
Thus one retailer of spirituous liquors who had
been fined for selling to natives, was prosecuted,
and n unanimous verdict of 4 jury at the last
term of the Supreme Court declared his bond for
$1,000 to be forfeit. The law requires that on a
forfeiture of the bond, the license shall be void,
but in this case Z" exceptions " raised by defend
ants counsel serve to . hang up " the Judgment.
So far then, the sauce has been applied to the
goose according to directions but not so with
the gander. To drop metaphor-since the filming
Of the party above referred to, two other retail
dealers IN spirits have been fined in the Police
Court and have paid their fines, but no further
proceedings have been had in their cases, and
the matter appears to have been dropped. To
be sure, there has in the meantime been a
change in the Interior Department, one Minister
retiring and another coming in, but the law
applicable to those cases remains the same.
Section p of Chapter Il of the Penal Code,
50 Suppression of Drunkenness, - reads as follows ;
Upon a violation Of any Of the conditions Of his bond by
any licensed dealer in spiriiuous liquors, il shah be the duty Of
the Minister q the Interior 70 pass said bod 20 His MAjesty's
Attorney General % the Kingdom, for enforcement against the
parties thereto, both principal and surety, with such inflEma-
ton as has cometo his knowiedgs in regard 10 any violation"
Is there any room for q bubble here? Surely
all the licensed dealers are, or should be, on a
perfect equality before the law. 1t cannot be
that one shall be made to suffer the full penalty
Of his transgression of the law, while others,
guilty of the same oaense, 60 comparatively I'M
punished.

The German exploring expedition in the Lybian

A new religion has sprung up in Persia, and is so
different from the old Moslem faith that it is creating
considerable excitement, especially as the Grand
Vizier, who has great influence over the Shah, is in
favor Of it, and several of the Swans and noblemen
have adopted it. 1t is known as the s Zurdani.'' Its
followers do not believe in any prophet. They only
worship the Almighty. There are no religious cere-
monies stipulated for the new religion. The princi-
pal doctrines are praise of the supreme being, truth
and virtue. 1t is regarded with great disfavor by
the followers of the Moslem faith.
