NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION

For q Noble for the Island of Oahu, to
FIJI the Vacancy Caused by the Death
of the Late Hon. Samuel G. Wilder,
and of the Rules and Regulations
Governing Such Election.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-08-17

The election law was the special or
der of the day yesterday, and the pro-
vision for secret voting stirred up a
warm debate. Perhaps our ears were
closed by prejudice, but we heard no
good speeches against this feature of the
bill, and nothing which could be called
an argument, except the statement that,
as to illiterate persons, the bill would
not secure absolute secresy. This is
true, but if SO important law is going
to be defeated because the legislators
cannot get over SO trif1ing a difficulty, it
is time for our esteemed Legislature to
adjourn and give the school-boys a
chance. The names of the candidates
of the different parties might be printed
in different celors. There would rarely
be more than two parties in the field,
and we do not see why this simple ex-
pedient would not meet the difficulty.
If for any reason it would not, doubtless
something else could be devised.

that it be postponed until next session,
and the House adopted the Report, with
out dissenting vote. We do not know
that a House which has been sitting for
nearly three months can be blamed
much for taking this attitude, but its
necessity is disaster. This is the first
fruits of the vice of which this Legisla-
ture stands convicted, the dissipation of
costly hours on trifes. The consequent
punishment comes now, and is
visited, not upon the heads of the legis-
lators, where it belongs, but on the
country at large. Because the House
has spent days and weeks dawdling over
bills of the slightest import, it has no
time now to spend on measures impera-
lively demanded by the public good
which ought not to be postponed. 1t is
a pitiable state of affairs if the men to
whom is entrusted the affairs of a whole
country, have all the carelessness and
improvidence of children. Did the re-
port of the committee affect the House
with shock of surprise, or have they
been looking forward to this conse-
quence all along? One alternative must
be true, and it is difficult to say which is
the more disagreeable.
We do not need to enlarge here upon
the importance of the reform of the
Judiciary department proposed in the
bill. 1t is too late for that. The discus
sion pointed very clearly at some glaring
defects in the present working of the
department. If the Court found any
thing to disagree with in that discussion,
the report of the Judiciary Committee in
the afternoon must have furnished salve
for all their wounds. The re-organiza-
ton of the Judiciary is work which
demands the attention of trained legal
minds experienced in the work of legis-
latures. No one knows what the COM
position of the Legislature of 80 will be.
There are very great reasons for doubt
ing whether it will be composed of men
disposed or competent to deal with
question of this kind. If the re-organ-
ization of the Judiciary Department is
really desired, the time to effectuate it
is now. A postponement until 1890
amounts to an indefinite postponement.
There is no guaranty that the next Leg
islature will deal with it. They will
certainly be as unlikely to do SO as the
present one, and probably will be less
disposed to NEEDLE with the present
status of affairs. The action of the
Legislature in adopting the report simply
dismisses to the vaguest future one of the
most important reforms which has come
before this honorable body.

The truth is the arguments against
secret voting are OF the most elusive
description. They are in a gaseous
state. When they are reduced by a
little cold water, the residuum is some
thing very suspicious. It seems to
amount to this: eve admit that secret
voting is right in theory, that the bill
proposes a great step forward, that the
only way to insure an honest vote is to
get secret vote, but the fact is, if we

The other arguments advanced by the
opponents of the measure were of the
f1imsiest sort. Noble Smith thought the
illiterate Portuguese would not know
enough to put check opposite name
and all such ballots would have to be
rejected. The Hon. Noble got good
deal of fun out of this queer notion, and
we think ourselves it was funny. Doubt
less it is a scandalOus libel, but if it is
true, then let us be thankful that this
law is going to furnish so easy method
of DISTINGUISHING such ignorant blocks
Representative Kinney, it was stated,
was elected by such constituency, and
this may account for his determined
hostility to a provision which will dis
franchise according to Noble Smith) his
constituency, and so relegate him to
private life. Minister Thurston's great
argument was that, although this law is
a very fine thing and secret voting is the
ideal way, yet We are not up to it. It is
good for others but not for US. And this
argument he fortified by producing some
statistics of illiteracy in this country
Unfortunately, he furnished no compare
tive statisticsf which of course broke
down his arguments entirely. The At
torney-General supplied the missing
premise, showing that in the Province
of Quebec, where the illiterate consti-
tute an actual majority Of the voting
population, this law has worked for
many years with conspicuous success.
Unluckily the premise spoiled the Min
lister of the Interiors conclusion. The
truth is that the ignorant voters are the
very ones who require to be protected
by this law. Their votes have been,
here and everywhere, a commodity and
this law takes them out of the market.

more work in day underground than

Who know how to do less while hav.
ing the appearance Of working.
In this country it is not alone,
though it is largely the use of better
tools. machines and appliances, that
reduces the cost of work by increas-
ing the output per man; it is also the
independence, energy, and ambition
that characterize our people, and that
are, in part At least, born OF the hope
each good miner cherish>s of being
one day a mine-owner himself.
Such cases are not rare even in
Corn wall, but the bonds Of tradition,
and OF the miners union, are there
too strong to be readily broken; and +,
perhaps the intense veneration which
the Cornishman at home has for his
forefathers, restraints him from doing
things better than they did, lest he
throw discredit on them. There is no
patent on this suggestion, and if it
does not explain the undoubted fact
that we in our mines accomplish fully
three times as much 70 the man per
day as they do in Cornwall, we shall
be very pleased to receive better
explanation OF it.
We believe that tin can be pro-
duced in Dakota with our present
rates of wages quite as oheaply as in
Cornwall, from ore carrying the same
