WHY THIS DlSTRUST?

A ministry, with large majority
in the Legislature, going out in the
night, and another ministry taking
their. place in the morning, and
meeting the country's representa-
tives with the brief and mysterious
assertion that ''there we're reasons
not necessary to mention at present
that made a change desirable" gave
rise week ago to all kinds of
rumors of contemplated movements
in the interests of few to the in
jury of the many. Some of these
rumors were reduced to questions
by member of the Assembly, to
which the Prime Minister gave an
answer of denial, averring that there
was no foundation for the reports,
and expressing surprise that an
Honorable Member so intelligent
should have been misled by them.
There the matter rested. But the
community was not satisfied by the
ministerial denial, neither is it salts
fed to-day. People believed then,
and they believe now, that "where
there is much smoke there is some
fire." Perhaps there are individuals
in the community who have reasons
for persisting in their belief that
Ministers are not aware of. Be this
as it may, people may well be ex-
cused for ent.-taining suspicious
and clinging to false impressions,
when the sole reason they can get
from ministerial chairs for minis
terial changes is, that change was
deemed desirable. And so long as
the so-calledresponsible government
of this country continues to be con-
Quoted on this plan SO long will
there be suspicion, whisperings, and
mistrust. The present state of feel
ing in this community towards its
government is not desirable; but
ministers have themselves to blame.
Neither is it confined to section OF
the people, but has extended to all
classes and conditions, not except
ing members of the house on the
Government side. A little real can,
dor might produce confidence tha
does not now exist.

CRAWFlSHlNC.

When member of deliberative
assembly makes motion or moves
q resolution, it is common occur
renee for another member to second
pro ,forma, merely to bring the
matter before the assembly, or to
secure an opportunity of speaking
on the subject for the sake of oppos-
ing it. The custom is usual, and
the proceeding consistent. But for
person to second motion when
no pro .tornaa seconding is needed,
and third person to support the
motion regularly before the assem-
bly,, and then both the seconder and
supporter vote against it, is
method of procedure which is a
little puzzling to a man of principle.
And yet this is what was done in
our Legislature on Saturday last.
A motion to accept and lay on the
table for future consideration
report of minority of the Finance
Committee was seconded by one of
the members for Honolulu, Mr..
Hayselden, and supported by the
Minister of Interior, Mr.. Gibson.
When the motion was put to the
vote, both the member and the
Minister were found on the other
side of the question, among the
noes. This kind of thing is desig-
mated by various terms of varying
Specification, such as qualification,
crawtishing, inconsistency, etc.
None of these terms are very COM
plimentary to the action, and the
action is not very creditable to the
actors. Gentlemen have unmeas-
ured contempt for inconsistency.
Just fancy Gladstone, the Prime
Minister of England, crawfishing
out of a motion he had supported in
the British House of Commons, and
voting against it That would be
the political destruction of. the
"grand old man." He would have
to vacate his seat, shoulder his axe,
and go and chop wood at Hawarden
for the balance of his days. Here
it is matter of no consequence.
Inconsistency with us is an insight
ficant trif1e. We are above small
things. Corruption, defalcation,
and peculation are virtues, and the
precursors of promotion and exalta-
ton. Modesty, sense, and honor
are crimes, that debar their posses.
sor from recognition and respect.
"This is not a great country, but il
is country full of promise" Very
much so! We like the look ot
things, extremely!

PERVERTED VISION.

"There is a right and a wrong
way of doing things. BY strange
coincidence of perversity, the Oppo-
sition invariably adopts the wrong
way" This is quotation from the
Advertiser, paper whose perversity
of vision prevents it seeing anything
good in the Opposition or anything
bad in the Government. Accord
ing to its representations, the party
in power is the most spotlessly pure
and the most absolutely perfect of
any that ever held the reins of gov
ernment on this progressive planet,
while the Opposition is the most
deformed, debased, debilitated jum-

obliquities are right and honorable
and consistent, when perpetrated by
the Government side of the house,

The bill that passed the Senate some
weeks ago fixing the salary OF District
judges at five thousand dollars appears to
"hang fire. in the room Of the House ju-
dietary committee. 1t is stated that the
committee is tied on the question Of report
ing the measure back to the House with a
favorable recommendation.
1t seems strange that there should be any
hesitancy or doubt in case like this. The
public sentiment Of the country and the
almost unanimous opinion Of the legal pro-
fession support this bill. 1t aims to do a
long-deferred act Of justice. The proposed
salary is small enough for the ability re-
quired and the work performed
The rapid development Of the country,
and especially the Capitalization or com
bination of railway lines, have vastly in
creased the amount of litigation in the fed.
eral courts. Many OF the District Judges
are among the most hard worked of all our
public servants. They ought to be in the
receipt of fair salaries. The Congressman
who denies them a compensation equal to
that which he himself receives invites Sc.
we're criticism of his own motives.
One Of the chief causes OF the great in.
crease OF business in the federal courts Is
the rapid expansion Of the patent system.
This is not a temporary but q permanent
increase. Every patent issued is likely to
give rise to suits for infringement or un.
authorized use. Shall we go on adding to
the work Of the judges while denying them
any addition to their notorlously inadequate
compensation
It is understood that southern Democratic
congressman oppose this bill because 1t will
put money into the hands Of Republican
judges. This is narrow gauge statesman
ship. But as the south is now in control Of
the executive department, and means tc
keep its hold, the political complexion oi
the federal judiciary may undergo change
We hope this bill will come back to the
House and be passed, for its passage is due
to common justice. Southern Democrats
ought to see that they cannot afford to de
feat such measure on so low q ground
as partisan prejudice.

The National Union League.

The meeting of the National Council of
the National Union League In this city on
Saturday last brought together number of
Republicans whose faith in the principles of
their party has not been weakened by de-
feat and whose courage can never be i'm
paired by disaster.
The fighting element Of the Republican
party-the element that bears the party's
banner aloft in storm as bravely as in sun
shine; the element that is always ready to
charge the enemy's works, and without the
inspiration of whose courage and confidence
victories would be impossblc-is composed
of such men as constitute the membership
Of the Union League.
1t was a source of just pride to the mem
bers Of this council TO review the great
achievements of their party, to recall the
steps taken against the united and bitter
opposition of the Democracy, and to be
able to declare that, although the Demo-
cratic party has now attained national
power, 1t does not attempt the formal CON
demnation Of a single one Of the principles
or measures which are the fruits Of Repub-
lican asccndency.
Butthe council stakes occasion TO declare
that while the Democratic party does not

The Attempt to Smother the Blair Bill.


The attempt which is being made in the
House committee on education to smother
the Blair bill deserves the reprObation of
every lover Of fair play. The bill reaches
the House from the Senate, which has given
1t its approval after long and exhaustive
debate, by a vote Of three to one. The bill
may or may not meet the approval of the
House. That is point beyond the present
issue. If, after careful debate, the House
sees fit to reject 1t, the members will be
credited with voting In accordance with
their convictions, and each will stand be-
fore the country and his constituents re-
spOnsible for his act. But the obstructive
course Of the committee cannot be defended.
II is simply deliberate attempt to keep
the House from legislating, and is usur-
patton of functions which belong to the
whole House. 1t was never intended
by the trainers of our constitution that
little group of half dozen or dozen
men, constituting a committee In either
branch Of Congress, should have abso-
lutte and autocratic authority to say
what measures should or should not be con-
sidered. Yet this is what we have come to,
and committees, instead of facilitating leg
islation, as they were designed to do, OBJ
struct II. One Of the ablest Democratic
leaders, Mr.. Hewitt, gives as the prime
reason for his proposed withdrawal from
pubic lie tile uselessness OF laDOrlng over
legislation when the rules Of the House
make it possible for few men to. impede
or defeat the best eXertions. II has been
asserted that Mr.. Carlisle packed the edu-
cational committee against this bill. How
ever that may be, there is no doubt as to
the purpose OF the committee to smother
the bill If 1t can. We venture to suggest
to the two or three Republicans who
are acting with the majority of that COM
mittee that the Republican party ought
not and cannot afford to take any uncer-
tain ground upon this question. If the
Democrats in the House wish the responsi-
biity of defeating this bill they can take it,
but they should have no help from Repub.
