WEDNESDAY MAYS.

THE ROYAL SPEECH delivered on the Both III
tiuo, and Published to-day, is a more comprehen-
siye state paper than any similar one delivered
to Hawaiian Legislature. In it the King clear
ly portrays the general policy which his govern
ment will adopt, and calls the attention of the
mobiles and representatives to various measures
of general interest. A law authorizing the gov
eminent to merge two or more Offices into one
for the sake of economy, may, 10 some cases,
save considerable amounts to the public treasury,
without weakening efficient administration. A
special exemption is suggested in favor of those
who rear large families. This is timely sug-
gestiou, and should be followed by law exempt
ing from all personal taxes every legally married
man and woman, who may have four or more chill
dren of their own. And those who may rear six
or more children should by the same law be pro-
yided with an inalieuable homestead, free of cost
and exempt from taxation. These may appear
to some as triliug matters, hardly worthy Of leg
isation while 10 fact they lie at the root of our
national prosperity, for unless we can secure
to natives better homes for their children, all
other efforts will be vain. Small as they are,
they will serve as incentives with the natives TO
carefully rear their offspring, instead Of as is now
too often the case, seeking to get rid of them.
His Majestys views on immigration irrigation,
city water supply, codifcation of the laws, and
encouragement to steam navigation, all indicate
an enlightened and liberal policy. And we may
add that this speech reflects the well matured
views of the sovereign, acquired from years of
personal observation, in which be is supported
by his ministers, and will no doubt be seconded
by the Legislature.

Is continuing the debate on this measure. the
Minister for Foreign Affairs said that this was
not a Government measure. 1t would be OBJ
served that His Majesty 10 his speech left the
matter to be settled BY them. The Cabinet had
agreed that each Minister should give his own
views. he had no decided opinion on the mat
ter until lately had now heard both sides Of the
question, aud believed it would be best to leave
the House as 1t was. Il was true that ia other
countries there we're usually two Houses il
was so in the United States, but that was 8 diff
ferent form of Government The English form
of Government was the one on which this one
was based. There they have two Houses, it is
true-the Lords aud the Commons; but how diff.
ferent the circumstances Of the two countries.
We mast look at the facts: In England there
was still a large and powerful body of Lords or
MOBILES or Chieis-call them what you Ike-who
owned most of the lands, aud who 10 former
times used to Cypress the people, who had to
unite to defend their rights. In these Islands
not great many years ago, there were also
powerful body of Chiefs who owned most OF the
lands and who, he had heard, oppressed the peo-
pie. Where are these Chiefs nowl Are thew
here in this HouseG Are they on Hawaii Are
they on Kauai' They do not exist No Repre-
sentative Of this House is now afraid Of either
the oppression or the influence of the Chiefs.
Perhaps it would be better if there we're more
Chiefs. 1t is not Constitutions this country
wants to-day, or separation Of the Houses. On
the contrary We should all unite together as one
man to pass measures that will increase the
wealth and prosperity of their country, measures
that will put money in the pockets Of every man
in the kingdom. What have your Constitutions

A RUNoR has been current the past week that
the Courthouse, including the land enclosed
around it, has been sold to mercantile firm for
the purpose of erecting warehouses to accommo-
date the business of the port. On inquiry, we
find that no sale Of this property has yet been
made. Still If the new Parliament house pos
sesses ample accommodations for all the present
and prospective business wants of the govern
ment, and there is no further use for the old
building, by all means dispose of it at whatever
may be its actual value. But the sale should be
made By tenders or by public vendue at fair up
set price All government property that is use
less, and which by being disposed Of may help
to the development of the country, should be
sold. Lands lying waste and idle, had better be
Sold rented at nominal rate, or even given
away, if thereby they can be made productive
aud contribute TO the general wealth of the
country. The sale of the island of Nihau,
to firm OF graziers for ten thousand dollars,
several years since, has by some been considered
an unwise act on the part of the government.
But if we reflect that prior to its sale it did not
produce FIVE hundred dollars income annually,
and that it has since 10 the hands of its indus
trious proprietors, added at least ten thousand
dollars annually to the peoples wealth, or one
hundred thousand dollars since the sale, all which
has been spent among the people-every one
must admit that the sale has been public bene-
fit Since the above was written, it has been
to sell the Courthouse premises at
public auction, as per notice.

The Attorney General in his remarks on the
above question, stated that the proposed amend
ment was not measure of the present admins
tration, but one which had come from the pre-
vious In discussing the subject it is well to
remember our peculiar circumstances. What i1ay
be wise policy 10 another country may not be wise
here. The advice which be would give the
King now might differ from the advice for the
future. The question is, can the people be trust
ed TO choose wise men for representatives In
the event Of change, it will be for better or for
worse. At present the Mobiles and Ministers
number II votes to 2s representatives. The lat
ter may all vote with the former and If the peo-
pie do not like it, they have no remedy. In
practice this is bad for be had seen men watching
the ministers to see how they voted, and only
then would their hands go up He wanted rep
resentatives to vote always for the good of the
people and not for their own pockets. The lower
house possesses great power, for it controls the
strings Of The public purse But with this power,
wisdom should be united In the United States,
education is the source OF the power of the peo-
pie and OF the lower house When there are two
houses, there is not so much danger of rash &C
ton. A few rash men viii sometimes rush
measure through one house, for which the whole
nation is indignant. Two houses ere check to
such hasty legislation. II vote for this amend.

ILLNESS for the future Of Hawaii nei
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1874-05-06

In the Legislative Assembly on Monday, the
debate on the proposed amendments to the Con-
stitution was commenced. The first amendment
brought up was the most important one proposed
to separate the two branches Of the assembly
SO that the mobiles and representatives should de-
liberate apart, as was the custom from 1852 TO
1864. Prior TO 1864, there were two separate
houses since that date there has been but one,
the mobiles and representatives, sitting together
aud voting on all questions as one body. The
practical effect of this system has been to strength
en- the power of the ministers and mobiles and to
enable them to control the legislation Of the ma
ton, the representatives being to all intents,
spectators participating in and generally approx
ing of their action while, with two houses, the
people, through their representatives hold the
balance of power, whenever vital questions and
conflicting interests are at stake. If the repre-
sentatives of the Hawaiian people care so little
for the possession aud enjoyment of what in
other constitutional monarches is considered the
great bulwark of popular freedom, as to willingly
surrender without protest, their right and Dryi-
lege Of controlling the legislation, we have little
hope of their ever being able to accomplish much
in the way Of political reforms or national pro-
gress. The present has been Hawaiis oppor-
tunity, but the vote of yesterday settles the
question that the Hawaiian people are not equal
to the task of maintaining true representative
government, such as exists in England, and such
as existed here under the Constitution of 1852,
during the continuance of which was the Golden
