The Cpsnirg Of The Session.

On Thistle opening day of the Legislative
Assembly Of los2, the r. G. ADVERTISERS
presents its editorial message to the assem-
bied Estates OF the realm.
There is OH all sides a great expectation,
and with some a great apprehension, IN re-
spect to- the action and issues to be develop
ed by the present Assembly. But what is
the Assembly? 1t Is not a cOnclave of
eminent ordained mOTtals, apart from the
people; but Is simply a part of the people,
and can do little more than reproduce in
its action. the views, aims, habits and pur-
poses Of its constituencies. The relations of
representation and of constituency should
be reciprocal and if electors hope great
and good things of the elected, they must
strive to prompt, assist, and advise, those
chosen to be lawmakers. Assembly and
people must work together for the common
good. Both are under mutual obligations.
Let not any voters, or nOn-voting residents
who were dissatisfied with the election con-
tinue to say that they are "unrePresented;"
but accepting the choice Of the majority,
let them cooperate with the chosen repre-
sentatives, helping them with their advice,
information, and suggestions, for the COM
mon welfare.
1.-THE kingdom is to be established in
righteousness" is "A saying more significant
now then ever before; because law fails of
its fulfIment, and righteous enactments en-
cumber our statute books as mere dead let
ter, to an extent that makes administrative
reform-the execution of righteous law-the
crying necessity of our times,
And above all, a faithful sanitary adj
ministration and instruction is needed by
the Hawaiian people. The health and well

1t Is not medication that the people require
so much a. instruction in the laws of health,
and the removal of preveutable causes of
disease. Remedies are no doubt needed,
and to be employed for immediate suffer
ing but any hope in the preservation or
increase the race is of only possible of full
flment through systematic training in the
Practice of hygiene.
Provision also must be made for repopu-
Iation, by measures and importations con-
sistent with the welfare and increase of
the aboriginal people, the chief constituent
of the Hawaiian kingdom.
Our highways by sea and land should be
increased and improved; and for this as we'll
as for all other national work there should
be systematic plan, and service rendered
under responsible contract. The means OF
the nation should be employed literally to
provide facilities of inter-communicatiop
and to promote as much as possible the en-
tire effectiveness of our postal service.
The port of Honolulu should be improved,
its channel deepened, and all
ces and annOyances removed; and any pass
port for ingress or egress should be abolished
The planting and other industrial and
productive interests require the aid of judi
cious diplomacy and legislation. The reci'
procal interests of labor and capital must
be carefully considered. These islands have
their own peculiar physical conditions; and
legislation OH this subject should be shaped
i'm accordance with our insular conditions.
Every estate of the realm must recognize
the organic law, without which, the country
would he liable at any moment to irrespon-
sible action, and Il ruinous state OF anarchy
Without constitutional order the Kingdom
would lapse into tyranny or anarchy. This

The Ioyal support of the King, and the full
publication of royal movements at home
