Some OF the acts OF the present Cabinet Minis
ters OF the King have been such as to create dis.
satisfaction and surprise and ns consequence n
general desire has arisen In the Assembly that
these nets of the Ministers should be investigated
and bo justified or the contrary. resolution has
been introduced in the house, ceusurng the Minis
ter Of the Interior for having secretly leased tho
Hawaiian Hotc contrary to law But in defense
of this proccodngof the Minister it ia stated that
lie was authorized by the supreme Court. Thus 1t
appears that the Supreme Court Ia brought into
tho puddle Of Ministerial dougs. We await with
interest the result of this resolution of censurc
when the evidence and the arguments on both
| sides shall be considered.
| COMMUNICATED. IL is matter for regret, and il
| is undignifcd to SEQ our Chief Justice volunteer
ing his views ON one of the great questions of the
| day, of his own yotion taking up legal points
| Let revert TO the past, in the time when the
| Hon. H.. H. Allen was Chief Justice. When some
| of the representatives of capital in this country
! were holding public meeting to discuss the labor
| laws which the American newspapers have char.
actor2ed " blot ON Hawaii, the Chief Justice nj
that time never consented to appear express his
| views mt that meeting. So also when II meeting
was held at kaumalSapili Church, to protest against
| tho act of the King in summarily dismissing the
| then Cabinet, Chief Justice Harris took no part
| in the movement, Thus the sacrodness, tho dig
nifty and the high respect due to the judiciary was
maintained by those predecessors of the present
| Chief Justice.
1t should be understood and felt by our Chie
Justice, that his position is exalted above that o
every other person in the country and that his de
csions have the force of law. And it s for thin
! reason that we are constrained to thus publicly
| take him to task
