Resumed consideration of the bills relat-
ing to challenge to jurors.
The distinctive provisions of the orig
inai bill were that each party to civil
cause might challenge peremptorily three
jurors; that any person on trial for an
offense, the penalty for which would be
death or imprisonment for life, would be
entitled to challenge peremptorily twelve
of the persons called as jurors, while the
Crown could challenge six; that in other
prosecutions III the name of the Crown.
the prosecuting attorney and the defend
ant would each be entitled to three per-
emptory challenges.
The substitute bill, submitted bv the
Judiciary Committee, provided that plain
tiff and defendant in all trials by Jury
civil or criminal, shall each be allowed TO
peremptorily challenge three Jurors.
Rep. G. Brown moved the original bill he
laid on the table. Carried.
The bill submitted by the Judiciary
Committee was considered section by sec
ton.
The Attorney General moved an amend
ment, providing that in criminal trials by
Jury, the Crown will be allowed six chal-
senges and the defendant twelve. Peremp-
tory challenges are allowed, in civil cases

which provided for his passing out imme-
diately by another door than that at which
he entered 1t broke up the business of
ticket-peddling, of browbeatIng ignorant
voters, and secured a perfectly orderly and
quiet election"
This election is spoken of elsewhere as
an unusually exciting one.
In view of the success of such laws
wherever tried, and the universal favor
with which they are regarded by the
really great journals of the United
States, the following extract will be of
interest. 1t will also show that Cover
nor Hill of New York was true to his
nature as a low politician in disregard
ing the desires OF all parties to purify
the ballot law:
The Observer, noting that Gov. Hill
appointed Friday last, May 18th, for a
nearing on the Ballot Reform Bill, thus
remarks:
We fail to see why any hearing should
be necessary on this bill. As we have said
before, we cannot conceive of any valid
ODJectlOn TO this measure being offered by
any one who is in any degree friendly to
decent and honest government. Surely no
one can honestly contend that our present
methods of conducting elections are all
that they should be. The shameful and
disgracetul facts in regard to bribery and
corruption at the polls are known
and acknowledged by all. The ques-
ton now up for consideration is sim
ply this, whether bribery and corrup-
ton shall continue or whether an at
these evils. The Ballot Reform bill, now
the interests of just and fair elections,
inception in a non-partisan organization;
entirely free, as we have good reasons for
believing, from any desire to make party
capital out of the bill. 1t has been sup
ported outside of the Legislature by leading
men of all parties, and has had the almost
unanimous approval of the press. The at
tempt on the part of certain politicians to
make it appear that the bill would abridge
the rights of poor and ignorant voters, is a
peice of cheap and silly demagOgism not
worthy of notice. No class of voters will
be as much benefited by the proposed law
as the poor and ignorant. 1t Will give this
class an opportunity for the free and I'M
embarrassed exercise of their franchise
rights which they never had enjoyed be-
fore. We say in conclusion, and we want
these words remembered, that no man nor
body of men can work for the defeat of
this Ballot Reform Bill and not brand
themselves thereby as the enemies of pure
and honest government.

We desire to call attention to the
project, referred to by correspondent
in another column, of sending an ex-
hibit from the Grand Army Post of
these Islands, to the Exhibition which
is soon to be held at Columbus. The
scheme is calculated to advertise these
Islands in a manner out of all proper
ton to the cost. 1t is proposed to meet
the expenses, which will be very trif1ing,
by the insertion of small item in the
Appropriation bill The way of exhibit
ing which has been suggested is by
sending series of Island views. Such
a series of views of various sizes and
character, appropriately framed and
tastefully arranged, would be calculated
to attract general interest and admira-
ton which might result to our advantage
in more ways than one, and thus far
more than repay the insignificant out
lay required. We cannot afford to lose
any opportunity which offers, of increas-
ing the general knowledge of and in
terest in these Islands. Every cent ex-
pended in that way is sure to come back
to us in the end. The Paradise of the
Pacific, insufficiently supported as it is,
is doing work in this line the import
ance of which can hardly be overesti-
mated, and if it were more strongly
backed, it might accomplish vastly
more. 1t should be remembered that
by Selling the opportunity now offered
We shall kill two birds with one stone,
because the exhibit will be before the
public twice, once at Columbus and
once at Cincinnati.

CORRESPONDENCE.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
stateme nts made, or opinions expressed by
correspondents.
Shall Hawaii be Represented Abroad?
Mr.. EDITOR The Grand Army of the
Republic will hold their annual encamp-
ment at Columbus, Ohio, during the
second week in September. The De-
partment of California Ito which the
Geo. w. belong Post, of Honolulu, be-
longs) has invited our Post to forward
specimens of products, curios, or any
thing purely Hawaiian, to add to the
G. A 4. collection which is to be sent
to Columbus for exhibition in connection
with the State of California Board of
Trade exhibit. In fact the whole Pacific
slope is moving in the matter, as you
will see by the correspondence inclosed.
The question arises: Is it best to send
anything? If so, what ?-and the an
swer depends upon the expense, and the
ways and means OF meeting it. A few
hundred dollars might provide full line
of Photographic views OF the finest Ha-
waiian scenery, which, attractively
mounted in frames of native woods,
would inspire more real interest in this
country, dollar for dollar, than any
other species of exhibit Added to this,
there should be full cabinet of volcano
specimens, and probably painting of
the volcano. This would follow the line
of what proved the most interesting and
attractive feature of the Australian ex-
hibition at the Centennial, in 1S76-a
plan since adopted by other countries
and municipalities, on similar occasions,
with very great degree of success.
But our Post is weak in numbers and
cannot afford anything involving much
cash outlay. 1t has been suggested that
Parliament might appropriate few hum
dred dollars to assist the matter along.
This seems the more reasonable from
the fact that although an exhibit from
this Post would probably receive espe-
cial attention, from the fact of its being
the only outpost of the Grand Army
yet any benefit derived from such ex-
hibit would accrue to the country at
large: And if you, Mr.. Editor, attach
any value to this suggestion, would
you kindly publish this communication.
1t should be added that the Pacific
Coast exhibit, after the breakup of the
Columbus encampment, will be placed
in the Centennial Industrial Exposition
at Cincinnati, where it will come under
the direct notice of hundreds of thou
sands of the best classes of people in

Interesting Marriage.

The floral decorations in the Union
Church last Sunday morning, and the
unusually large attendance, indicated
that something out of the regular order
was to occur.
To be brief, expectation was satisfied
at the close of the customary services,
when Mr.. Arthur j. Thatcher, Principal
of the Ainakea School, presented himself
at the door with Miss Fanny Low, the
teacher of the Foreign school, and passed
up the aisle to the front, where the twain
were shortly made one
Some of the friends called at the par
sonage after the services, to view the
wedding cake, but the beautiful work of
art they beheld there, was undoubtedly
beyond anything they had expected to
see. The upper circumference of the
large loaf Was hung with skilled fringe
work surmounted with birds, the dome
was covered with white roses inter
spersed with silvered leaves, and from
the center there rose canopy supported
by ornamental columns, which was
further surmOunted with flowers and
other ornamental work. This well-exe-
cuted and highly creditable piece of work
was done by Sabo, the Japanese baker,
and there were probably few, if anybody
in this district, who were aware of the
extent OF his skill in that line. s.
Now, would it be fair 10 legislate away
from that class of men the privilege of
doing such work when ii is wanted?

The election law proposes new plan,
hitherto untried here. The objection
that it is dangerous because We cannot
know how it will work is answered in
part, by referring to the records in other
countries. In England the result of the
Corrupt Practices Act of 1888 is a mar
vellous success. Where hitherto was
bribery, corruption, bitterness and con-
tests of election, there has succeeded
purity, order, good feeling and certainty
of result. The great election of 1886,
one of the most earnestly contested of
recent years, with large body of new
voters, new districts and new laws,
passed off quietly and not a seat was
splendid tribute to the success of the
law, which is the right law. Let us see
what is said in the United States. In
Wisconsin a new ballot law insuring
secrecy and freedom from corruption
was first used the past spring. The poll
ticians succeeded in combining the bill to
cities of over 100000 inhabitants which
put the law in operation in Milwaukee
only. The Milwaukee Sentinel speaks
thus:
"The system of voting in Milwaukee has
proved a decided advantage over that
which formerly prevailed. Under the old
system, with such an issue as divided par
ties on Tuesday, there would inevitably
have been more or less trouble at the polls.
Voters would have been kept from the
polls by intimidation, there would have
been knock-downs and broken heads All
this was avoided by the arrangement that
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-06

ABOUT the only arguments advanced
so far against the new election law, are
that it is cumbersome and will interfere
with the freedom of voters; and that
voters will be removed from the influence
of those who would induce the election
Of the best men.
A careful reading of the bill will show
that the minute directions of the law are
for officers, not for electors. If the Off
GERS are so dull that they cannot under
stand them such persons ought not to be
appointed. The voter under this act is
relieved of all which under our present
laws is bewildering. At present he must
see to it that his name is on the list,
every year, that when he goes to the
polls he has his tax receipt and when he
gets there he must fight to keep his re-
ceipt and pick out of a great number of
tickets the ballot he wants; then he
must fight his way to the polls. He is
not free from surveillance even then land
in nine cases out of ten the ticket he
votes is known. Very frequently his tax
receipt is handed him with ballot and
then he is showed into the voting enc1o-
sure and votes that ticket or none. BY
the new bill, the voters name is on the
great register, he goes to the polls on
election day, no one interferes with him
because it is dangerous; he enters the
enclosure, goes to the Inspectors, tells
his name, gets a ballot containing the
names of all candidates, goes into quiet
room alone, makes his own selection, re-
turns to the inspectors and deposits his
ballot. If any one can show why this is
more com pick or cumbersome than now,
we would like to know the reason. If
the voter is ignorant or blind the inspec-
tors mark his ballot under his instruc-
tons and under the eyes of the agents of
the candidate. Such a voter cannot vote
to-day without somebody's knowing how
he votes.
The other objection has perhaps been
discussed and answered in the recent
correspondence in this paper. 1t can not
be argued that the voter is more liable to
influence in favor of bad ticket than a
good one, for the only influence to be
used by the advocates of either is argu-
ment and discussion. There will be no
chance for bribery, because the briber
will have no chance to see whether the
bride taker keeps his agreement.
