II H E
WEDNESDAY
THE LEGISLATURE.

There was an early adjournment of the
Legislative Assembly yesterday, but not
before substantial progress had been
made in the dispatch OF public business.
We note that our suggestion has been
acted upon in the matter of printing the
name of the introducer on the face of
each bill; and, as is usual in other par
liamentary bodies, the bills before the
Hawaiian Assembly now carry upon
their face the name OF the member in
Producing them, as well as a record OF
their progress through the House from
the date of second reading. This is a
useful innovation, and although it adds
four lines to each bill it does not increase
the cost. Mr.. Castle wanted to strike
out ten words from every bill in the
interest of economy. If his motion had
prevailed it would have saved no money
to the public, but might have been some
trifling advantage to the printer. How
ever, the point is immaterial either way.
Our purpose is simply to note the fact
above stated, and to congratulate the
Legislature upon it.
Very little suggesting comment trans
pred yesterday. The details of the
days doings in the Legislative chamber
will be found in our report, which is
printed in another column.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-05-12
THE SUNDAY LAW.

We would suggest to the Legislature
whether it might not be advisable to-
take more comprehensive view of the
Sunday law than is embodied even in
the bill introduced by the Attorney Gen
eral. 1t should be borne in mind that
Honolulu is fast becoming cOsmOpoli-
tan city, which people from every civil
lied country visit in considerable num-
bers, and it is certainly to the interest of
everyone that they should remain for
some time at least. In other words, it is
desirable that all-round-the-world tour
lists should be induced to break their
journey at this point, and sojourn for q
longer or shorter period on these Islands.
The advantage is two-fold. This class of
people usually spend money freely; and
in addition to their expenditure here,
they would make our country known
abroad, which in itself would be of no
small value.
But how can we expect this unless we
manifest disposition to make their stay
among us agreeable. The rigid rules for
Sabbath observance which may suit a
New England village are entirely out Of
place here under the circumstances.
This fact must be recognized and dealt
with and it may as we'll be dealt with
soon as late. The Australian steamers
usually arrive on Sunday, or late
on Saturday, when the passengers
can see very little of the city
and nothing at all of the surrounding
country. Under the existing law it
would be easy to render it impossible
for these people to get around at all on
Sunday. The hotel, coffee and refresh
ment saloons, and stores of every kind
are closed, and were the law enforced no
carriages could be hired. We say that
the time has come when all this should
be changed to meet the altered social
conditions and CONNIE cial relations of
the city. There is no reason why re-
freshments should not be procured at
the Hotel on Sunday, nor why coffee
saloons should also be closed by law.
We make these suggestions in no
spirit of hostility to Sabbath observ-
ance. The Sunday law did good for
many years after its enactment, but it is
not now suited to the requirements or in
accord with the sentiment of the great
body OF our people, and its continued
existence in its present shape must work
injury on the community at large.
While, therefore, we favor a Sunday
law, it should be one which would con-
form, in letter and spirit, to the advanced
and liberal opinions of the foremost
thinkers of the age.
