The result of an election is the ver-
diet of public opinion in England,
but the result Of an election in Ha-
waii is simply the success Of schemes
both legal and illegal for the sup
preston of a possibly adverse deci-
sion. Instead of the force of popu-
lar sentiment acting upon the Gov
ernment to the subversion of order
and the production of discomfort
among the population, the reverse is
the fact. Causes of discomfort are
reduced to minimum when the pee
pie find their fate to be in their own
hands. And this is the most fertile
source of dissatisfaction in this
kingdom, that public opinion is con-
scious of its own inability to effect
its objects. Every change of gov
ernment in England leaves the peo-
pie stronger and the security of
society greater than ever before.

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.

Mrs. Lydia Ellis, widow of Judge
Ellis of Sonoma, died at Santa
Rosa, CAL, on January 28th, aged
92 years. Mrs. Ellis was born in
Alexandria, Va, November 12,
1898. She remembered distinctly
the burning of Washington City by
the British also plainly remembered
the death of General Washington.
She could describe the horse and
equipage of the first President to
their minutest details, recalling
plainly the negro who acted as host
Ter. In 1915 Mrs. Ellis father re-
moved to GAINESVILLE, Ohio. She has
been resident of Santa Rosa for
the past two years and has lived in
the county for thirty years. The
aged lady leaves one daughter, Mrs.
5. G. Florence of that city. Ex-
Sheriff Ellis of Sonoma is a nephew
of deceased. 1t can safely be said
that Mrs. Ellis was the only person
in California who had lived through
all the Presidencies.

POLITICS IN ENGLAND.

TO casual observer, the political
agitations by which affairs in Eng
land are now, probably, under the
control of the third Cabinet, within
little over half a year, or, perchance,
in the turmoil of fresh general
election, the situation may possibly
be considered ominous of serious
danger to society. Frequent up
heavals among politicians in Eng
land would seem to indicate that the
social fabric rests upon elements of
too volcanic q character to be alto
gether safe. But it must be remem-
bered that constitutional order is not
always identical with the personal
security of individual statesmen in
the exercise of functions for which
they are not adequately qualified.
And the sort of pitch and toss game
of late going on among cabinet min
listers is really the result of the ire
sistible force public opinion is exer-
cising more and more every day in
the nation. When public opinion,
readily finding expression through
the press, indicates lack of confidence
in the men at the mead of
affairs, they must go, what
ever may be their party an
tecedents. Whether the popular es-
innate of public men is right or
wrong, they are, by every principle
of constitutional order, bound to
abide by the verdict. Nor is it left
in their own power, as in this king
dom, to manipulate, almost at will,
the suffrages of their constituents.

their guns upon him. This morning,
nothing Is to be seen of the 'Iiser's

only demonstration he is able to
make to cover his retreat, is a dis

CHINESE RESTRICTION,

His Excelency the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Mr.. Gibson, gives
practical evidence of desire to
save the country from entire Chinese
domination, in regulation pro-
claimed under yesterdays date as
follows:--
From and after the first day of
April, 1886, no Chinese passenger
shall be allowed to land at any port
in the Hawaiian Kingdom unless
such passenger be the bearer of
passport, in due form and legally
issued to him or her under the pro-
vision of the Regulations made and
published by me on the first day of
September, A. ID. 1885, "for the
control of Chinese immigration -
and the provision in Regulation
Number of the aforesaid Regua-
tions, which allows the landing of
not more than twenty-five Chinese
passengers from any one vessel at
any port in the Hawaiian Kingdom
without passports, is hereby re-
scinded.
If this regulation be enforced, and
it be possible to prevent the fraudu-
lent issue of passports, the increase
of Chinese in this Kingdom will be
checked at once, and, naturally,
there will follow gradual decrease.
Probably this regulation goes to the
length of what is practicable for the
time being. 1t is, at all events, a
move in the right direction. There
can be no apprehension of the plant
ing interest suffering for lack of
labor on account of the measure of
restriction proclaimed, while Japan
ese in apparently unlimited numbers
can be obtained and Portuguese are
still disposed to come here with
their wives and children. There
are, indeed, large resources of
Chinese labor now in the country,
which is the more available the less
that nationality controls the market,
rs it has in the past. 1t would be an
excellent corollary to the new regu-
lation if the vagrant law was en-
forced, so that Cinnamon could not
be supported in idleness by associ-
ations of their countrymen, thereby
being maintained as a vicious and
injurious element in the city.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Federal Council of Australia
was sitting at Hobart, Tasmania, in
January. At banquet given by Mr..
Service, the President, Mr.. Douglas,
one of the Tasmanian representa-
tives, made speech, in which he
predicted the early separation of the
colonies from England. He said the
time was not far distant when the
colonies would no longer remain sub
ject to little island in the Northern
hemisphere. The other members of
the Council present expressed dissent
from the view held by Mr.. Douglas
on the subject.

ELECTRICITY.

Gasoline, together with all pro-
ducts of petroleum, is liable to fire.
quent fluctuations in price, accord
ingly as old deposits are exhausted
or new ones discovered. Gas coal
is more likely to rise than to fall in
price with the ever-increasing de-
mands of the world for fuel. On
the other hand, electricity as an
illuminating agent is every day be-
coming better understood and more
capable of being cheaply applied.
Hence, the dictate of ordinary pru-
dence and foresight would seem to
be that costly permanent additions
should not be made to this city's
lighting apparatus by any of the
methods now surely lapsing. The
experimentation with the electric
light now being sedulously prosecuted
by enthusiastic specialists should be
awaited for a reasonable period.
Then, whenever results show cleo
tricity to be available as our illumi-
mating agent, prompt measures should
be taken to adopt it. An element
that is not taken sufficiently into
account, in calculations for public
improvements, is the enhancement
of a city's good reputation abroad,
from being kept up to the highest
mark possible in modern conven-
fences and institutions. This is seen
to be proved in the case of Homo
lulu, Notwithstanding its obvious
backwardness in many important
respects. In the generally kindly
notes of travellers on our tropical
city, its churches, halls, benevolent
institutions, telephones, cheap car
riages, inter-island steamship enter
prises, factories, and withal its ex-
cellent society and exhibitions of
culture, are cited as evidences of a
highly creditable degree of civiliz-
alton, while the defects of organiz-
alton and the missing public con-
veniences are palliated or entirely
overlooked. Therefore, the nearer
the city is kept to the van of modern
progress, the higher will it stand in
the estimation of the world, and
while good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches by the in
dividual, for city or nation it is
very effectual means of attracting
capital and wealth-producers. Elec.
tricity adopted for lighting purposes
would probably electrify Honolulu
in more WAYS than one.

HOlSteilS for Beef.

AS proof of the superiority of Hol-
stems as beef cattle, we call attention
to the following statement:
In the winter of 1884 and 1885, we
caused to be slaughtered the recorded
Holstein bull Syracuse (S22), calved
April oath, 1882; the recorded cow
Signet QSlO, calved April 9Th, 1890,

Syracuse and Little Wonder had not
been fattened for beef, and Signet we
had fed for some time, but she was not
what beef men would regard fat.
Taking everything into consideration,
we think this shows decidedly to the
advantage of Holstens as beef animals.
The butchers that purchased and cut
up the carcaSses of Signet and Little
Wonder' send us the following strong
testimonial as to the quality of these
two cows:

STATUS OF FOREIGNERS.

1t is a misfortune to this kingdom
that its constitution does not provide
for utilizing the opinions of its for
eign population, so that the progress
sive ideas of the older civilizations
may be incorporated with the
"united wisdom" of the national re-
representatives. in the administration
of affairs of state. There can be no
reasonable objection made to the
propriety of entrusting the franchise
to subjects, for instance, of the
German, the British or any other
constitutional European Govern
ment, or to citizens of the United
States, while those governments are
on friendly terms with the Kingdom
of Hawaii, and some of them sigma
tories of treaty compact recogniz-
ing its independence. OF course, in
the countries named, citizenship is
indispensable to the exercise of the
suffrage, but the conditions under
which that restriction obtains are
widely different from those of Ha-
waii. Their constitutional systems,
some of them at least, are the re-
suits of centuries of civilization I;
their commercial enterprises and
social institutions are indigenous to
the soil, and the outgrowtbs Of that
civilization; but, in Hawaii, with a
civilization not yet as old as its
living inhabitants, with its CONNER
cial enterprises carried on by for
eigners, its institutions transplants
from foreign soil, and forms of gov
ernment copied from Europe and
America, it would only be consis-
tent with the eternal fitness of
things if the subjects and citizens of
those friendly powers from which
the forms of government and the
institutions of this kingdom are
derived, were admitted to voice in
the management of its affairs. That
the well-informed and intelligent
class of European and American
residents could be otherwise than Q
desirable class of constituents for Q
member of the Hawaiian Legisla'
ture, is proposition that hardly
admits of the possibility of a doubt
Men, whose traditions and princi.
pies are invariably on the side OF
order, progress and liberty, ought
to be the first in the kingdom whose
opinions on public affairs would be
given practical effect at the ballot
box. The right of voting by for
eigners could be placed under such
restrictions as that the risk of theil
abusing the privilege might be re-
duced to a minimum. The result OF
such an arrangement would be more

the SOLDIER VOTE.

A few days ago the great Morn
ing Apologist for all that is corrupt
in government and outrageous in
political chicanery, with that in
imitable nonchalant mendacity for
which the sheet has acquired an un-
enviable notoriety, states that in the
United States "no one ever questions
the right of State militia or national
guard to vote at all elections" and
from this proceeds with an elaborate
apologize defense of the iniquitous
manner i'm which the "soldier vote"
was polled at the recent election in
this Kingdom. Comparing the
rights of militiamen to vote in this
Kingdom with the rights of militia
men in the United States, is neither
more nor less than placing fraud
and corruption in contrast with
honor and patriotism. Were United
States militiamen ever known to be
placed under military orders on the
morning of the election, and marched
in platoons to the polling booth? ?
Were United States militiamen ever
allowed to enter polling booth
wearing their side arms? Did a
State government ever dare to insult
the nation and degrade the ballot
by coralling the troops ON election
day and supplying them with un-
limited rations of liquor, as was
done on the Palace grounds in this
city on the morning of February
3rd? If the ballot were outraged at
single polling booth of the United
States as was done in Honolulu and
throughout this Kingdom, ten days
ago, storm of indignation would
sweep over the Republic from Maine
to California, carrying the guilty
parties into political oblivion.
Neither militia nor any other ''com-
panies' have the right to vote in the
United States, and members of
these bodies possess the franchise
solely by virtue of their being citi-
zens, of full age. Boys of 16 and
Is years who happen to be under
military training have not the right
of voting either singly or in "com-
panies." Moreover, soldiers of the
regular army are not allowed to vote
at all. 1t will be time enough to
cite United States election methods
in vindication of those of this King
dom when the Great Republic de-
grades its citizenship to the perpe-
tration of practices followed only by
the lowest grades of ward politicians.

began opening soup kitchens for the
relief of their starving countrymen.

A recent number of the Boston
