Afternoon.

Noble Widemann said he had listened
with pleasure to the remarks of the Min
lister of Interior and the hon. member for
Hamakua, but he did not agree with them
in all points. He would not vote for over
riding the veto in this particular case. He
believed the King was in the exercise of his
constitutional rights. The House having
the right to override the veto was sufficient
for him. AS a representative of the peOnle
it was all he asked.
Rep. Kamauoha did not think the bill
constitutional and the House going on this
way is only wasting time.
Rep. Paehaole expressed similar views
Rep. Kauhane said he had listened
closely to all that had been said with re-
gard to this bill. Every man has a right
to his own opinion on it. The House has
no need to be influenced by the question
of whether the bill is constitutional or not
That is different question from the one
at issue. The safest course is for the
House to go on and pass the bill. The
result of this veto would be that none of
the existing military organizations would
have the sanction of law. He believes it
for the good of the King and country that
the bill pass, and he vas going to vote for
its passage.
Noble Richardson said this is a very i'm
pOrtant measure and many members are
DESTROYS of going home by the steamer this
evening. He had so much business on
hand himself that he was unable to give it
the consideration he wished to. Moved
the pOstponement of the matter until Mon
day the Both inst.
Noble Smith said this bill had been care
fully deliberated on by the House and was
referred several times to one of the best
committees of the House AS regards the
veto power itself, in England it is obsolete
and IN the United States it had been eXer-
cised but six times in period of 40 wears:
Washington had exercised it twice and
Lincoln, during the years of his Presi-
dency, when the nations life trembled in
the balance, used it but twice, once abso-
lutely and once by default. 1t was rec
Ognized in the United States as a power
that should not be used only on special
and extraordinary occasions. The honor
able Noble proceeded to review the reasons
attached to the veto before the House and
to show that each and all of them were but
of little Importance. The name Of Queen
Victoria is uttered with respect not ONLY
in every part OF the dominiOns of the great
Empire over which she reigns, but in every
other nation as well. The word that rises
TO the lips OF every intelligent person the
world over about Queen Victoria is 90 God
bless her" The reason is that she has al
ways subOrdinated her own personal will
and preferences to the will of the people
as expressed through their representa-
tives- The names Of Washington and
Lincoln are also honored names throughout
the world, and for similar reasons He
respected the throne and he desired the
dignity of the sovereign to be upheld
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-25

The fate of this bill will not hurt the peo-
pie, whether the veto is sustained or not.
But the principle of the veto power exer-
cised in this manner cannot stand. 1t will
not stand.
The duty that the country and memb ers'
constituents require of them now is re
spectfully but firmly to pass this bill.
Rep. c. Brown said he had represented
his present constituency continuously
since 1882 and had always opposed appro-
priations for military. The $1,000 voted
for military was an utterly useless expend-
iture. Ii laid out on roads and bridges,
there would be some value received for it..
He would vote TO sustain this veto in the
hope that this money would be saved and
not worse than wasted
Noble Baldwin said he did not think any
good could come of discussing the question
further. He would move the previous
question, but as he had never done it be-
fore, he would call it the former interro-
CATION"
The question was then put: Shall this
bill become law Notwithstanding the veto
of the King?" and was answered in the
affirmative on the following division:

Probably owing to the arrival of the
foreign mail, Mr. w. Irving Bishops
audience at the Opera House was small
The professor was, in all but voice, in
very good trim, judging by the celebrity
and precision with which his feats were
performed. Probably the most Won
derful of the new performances was his
writing reply, in letters reversed like
printing type, TO a question secretly
written by Judge McCully, regarding a
deceased English statesman, viz, VIM.
Pitt, the name as we'll as question being
only revealed in advance TO two of the
committee. While doing this the per-
former sat at one end of a table, the
Judge only resting his hands on the
other end. The platform committee
were Judges McCully and Bickerton,

THE DAILY


YESTERDAY witnessed the most i'm
portant. debate which has yet occurred
in the present session, and it terminated
in decisive action. The House came to
a vote on the Military bill at quarter
to three. The result was a decided
victory for constitutional government
in these Islands. Aswas clearly pointed
out in the House, the issue involved was
not merely the question as to the merits
or dement's of this particular bill. A
much wider and more fundamental ques-
ton was the real matter III hand and this
it was which the vote of yesterday has
settled. This question was simply-are
we or are we not to have any irrespon-
sible political power in this country?
The vote of yesterday said as plainly as
action can say anything, that the ans
wer of the present Legislature to that
question is an emphatic NO.

There were several excellent speeches
made in behalf of the bill, those by
the Minister of the Interior, Noble Smith
and Rep. Kinney being particularly
able and effective No doubt some OF
the historic parallels used can hardly be
supported. The veto power in England
has not been used for 1S1 years and is
practically obsolete. Any use of it might
cause a revolution. In theory as well as
in fact England is ruled entirely by the
Legislature. As the Supreme Court
have interpreted our Constitution, that
is unfortunately not the case here. That
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-25

This is a state of affairs to be regretted
certainly, bat fortunately we are not left
without legal remedy. Ii it is true
that the King according to the Supreme
Court is possessed of political power
without political responsibility, it is
equally true that he possesses such
power contrary to the will of the people
and of their representatives. The other
branch of the Government-the Leglsla-
ture-have powers which 1t is open to
them to exercise in a way the meaning
of which cannot be mistaken, in way
which shall say, legally but clear y
there shall be no power in this country
not coupled with responsibility. This is
by no means an improper use OF power.
On the contrary, it is an exercise OF
legal rights in the interest of the highest
and hottest cause known to human effort
the cause of individual liberty against
despotism and tyranny. No one cares
to precipitate struggle of the kind be-
tween the Legislature and the Crown.
No one has any interest in such con-
f1ict, and least of all the Crown, for it can
only result, as all such struggles result
in the end, in the triumph of constitu
tionalism over autocracy, in the victory
of the people with whom both the super
Tor right and superior force reside. The
vote of yesterday was not, on the part of
the House, the first step in such strug-
and only the exercise of the ordinary
constitutional right to make laws by a
two-thirds vote. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that no resort to more radical
measures may ever become necessary.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-25

decision of the Court may or may not
have done violence to the spirit and true
intent of the instrument, but there is no
escaping the fact that it is the authori-
tative exposition of the fundamental
law, and that accordingly the King in
vetoing bill without the consent and
against the advice of his Ministers, is
only exercising his strictly constitutional
rights.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-25

While every friend of government by
and for the people may fairly rejoice
over the work of yesterday, it should not
be forgotten that there is an exultation
which is foolish because premature. We
are not out of the woods yet. The de-
cisions of the Supreme Court cannot be
abrogated by vote of the House, and
all Houses may not be constituted as
this one is. There is lesson in yester
day, but it may need much enforcing
before it is learned. The sky of Ha-
waiian Liberty looks fair for the moment,
but it may yet be obscured by clouds
and storm. Only continual vigilance,
unaltered frmness and unwearied effort
can permanently secure the political
rights which have thus far been success

However that may be, the, vote of yes
terday is a conclusive indication that, in
the opinion of the present House, the
exercise of any irresponsible power is
something not to be tolerated. The
vote was not on the merits of the Mill
tary bill. Members who were opposed
to it might have voted for the bill yester-
day with perfect consistency. Some
votes undoubtedly were cast which ex-
pressed only the voters opinion as to the
merits of the measure, but in that case,
to our thinking, the smaller and more
immediate issue obscured and confused
the wider and more embracing. It
needs to be said and said again, that the
vote of yesterday was important not be-
cause the Military bill is good or bad,
not because the country has much or
little to gain by its passage, but because
it raised the question, Where does the
power in this country lie? Who is to
govern, the people through their repre-
sentatives, duly elected, or by the King
with strong arm? The vote of yester-
day is important because it conveyed
hint to absolutism. Personally, We have
very grave doubts as to the utility of
the Military bill. We would have pre-
ferred to see the issue of yesterday raised
by measure like the Police or Govern
. ors' bill. We confess to a secret sym
pathy with the sentiments expressed by
the Hon. @. Brown, and think the cOun-
try might gain a more solid advantage
by the total abolition of the army and
the application of the funds to the roads,
than it can ever hope to realize by the
provisions of an Act like this. 1t is,
therefore, chiefly because the vote of
yesterday was a vote for the principle of
constitutional government, that we APP
plaud it as we do.

The Old and the New.

We have entered upon new year.
The old year, whether viewed from the
dark or from the bright side, was a year
of note and will occupy prominent place
on the pages Of history. While the num-
Der of noted men and women who passed
from earth during the twelve
months was not as large as in some
previous years the record Of the year In re.
spect to fatal fires, explosions, ship wrecks
and railroad accidents is a terrible one
The criminal record also is a sad one and
to other crimes. the new one of an
arcby ripened into fruit for the gallows
Our country has been for the most par,
free from deadly epidemics and fan
degree Of prosperity has attended oul
agricultural and commercial industries
We were all reminded at our Thanks
giving festival of many individual anC
national blessings for which we ought tC
| be thankful and they made a large record
For no one has the year that has gone
been one of unmixed good or i'll but as il
the meteorological record the days OF
brightness and sunshine outnumber thos,
of clouds, so let the old year be remember
ed most for the sunshine it brought L
hearts and homes. And if for any the
