the People or the Legislature, and it
is not improbable that the next may
be chosen in the same way.
1t is a principle of modern political
economy that governments exist by
and for the People, ('by the grace of
God" if you please)l If, therefore,
supreme power emanates from the
People and rests in them, it behooves
the sovereign and government,
whether of republic or monarchy
of fifty millions, or of less than a
hundred thousand, to be in harmony
with the People and with their con-
stitutionally chosen representatives.
This, to speak plainly, is the political
situation in Hawaii, as we'll as in
France, England and America. In
each of these countries, the power of
the People is supreme, and the SOW
ereign of each must of necessity be
in harmony with them or make room
for one that is. In England, the
prime minister being the actual
ruler, this rule applies, in that coun
try, to him.

SOME of our old patrons, who have
taken the GAZETTE for years, may
think that our rule requiring prepay
ment of subscription in all cases, in
advance, is too exacting. These are
the terms given in other countries;
and if those who doubt the propriety
of establishing them here could exam
Inc our subscription book and see
how many delinquents are on it who
have not paid for one, two and even
four years, they would not only be
convinced of the necessity of change
but would wonder how the manager
has been able to import his necessary
stock of paper, and pay his printers,
under such slack system.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-01-03

One of our oldest subscribers, who
has taken the paper from the start,
and promptly prepays on every first
day Of January, writes Z" [ like the
present management of the GAZETTE,
and trust it Will not finch in its faith

sent Government. This is a time to
Try mems souls and show the metal
they are made of. Moreover, it is life
and death struggle, Through which
the Government will be safely
brought, if true to itself and the peo-
ple,} when no honest man can afford
not to show his colors. There is no
avoiding the conclusion that the
struggle is to be on the present line
of policy, come what may. God help
oru leaders to do just this very thing,
and posterity will bless them"

SIR julius YoGEL, ex Premier of
New Zealand, whose extravaganza
policy brought that country to the
verge of bankruptcy, has been max
ing a sorry exhibition of himself since
Premier Atkinson's accession to of
fee. He kept on living in the Pre-
mier's official residence, at the same
time keeping policeman, in the pay
of the government, as his body ser
want. When supporter of the Min
istry moved for information on the
funky matter, Sir julius rose in a
towering rage and poured torrent
of insult upon members of the house
in general. Later Sir julius tried to
create a diversion against the new
Governments policy of economy and
retrenchment, by trying to get the
Ministry drawn out on the tariff
question-or free trade and protec-
ton. His intention was evidently to
raise the protection cry in order to
break up the Ministry's majority and
regain office for himself. Premier
Atkinson checkmated the crafty
leader of the Opposition, however, by
introducing a resolution that gave
the quietus to the protection matter
for the session. Then Sir julius, be-
cause he could not force the new is
sue on the House, withdrew in pet
from the chamber, taking number
of his more subservient followers
with him. The famous New Zealand
politician is only the type of class
to be found in every country, who
act as if they had a divine right to
Office and who cannot maintain de-
cent equanimity when IN the cold
outer shades. 1t is such class re-
presenting the plundering and riot
ing of the late administrator, which
has been at the bottom of the desper-
ate efforts to overthrow the Reform
Ministry of Hawaii.

ONE phase of the recent change in
the French government has not been
referred to IN the papers, and this is
that the late President Grevy was
compelled to resign and retire to pri-
vate life solely because the national
legislature, which represents the
French nation, had lost confidence in
him. Public confidence had been
Withdrawn, however, for no act of his
own, but for the acts of others asso-
ciated with him The President Of
France is the constitutional head of
that great nation, and in one sense
supreme, yet he is subordinate to the
People who place him in authority.

between him and his constituency. lie

feared that the election of new pres

but Grevy's successor, President Car

and installed in his office not only
without an outbreak of any kind. bat
amid the huzzas of the whole French
republic. This peaceful change of
government has done more to
strengthen confidence in France, and
to give assurance of her stability than
any recent event in her history.
1t may not have occurred to those
who have casually read the late
French political news, that there is a
marked resemblance between the
situation in France and Hawaii.

The distressing deadlock in affairs
has been ended, with the exception of
the still unsettled question of the per-
sonal veto power claimed by the King.
His Majesty has yielded the point
regarding the filling of the vacant
seat in the Cabinet, having signed
the commission of Mr. iona. Austin,
who was nominated by the other
three Ministers when Mr. Godfrey
Brown resigned the portfolio of
Foreign Affairs. The King has
also receded from his attempt
to control official appointments,
in signing the commission of Mr..
S. B. Dole as Fourth Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. When
or how the status of the Court is to
be settled, with respect to the repeal
of the Act Of 1856 which makes a re-
version to three Justices, we are not
at present informed Probably the
constitutionality of the repeating
measure will be submitted to the
newly constituted Court. Since there
seems to be a general opinion that
the Auditor Generals office properly
conducted would be more than worth
its maintenance, there will scarcely
be two opinions regarding the wisdom
of the selection of Mr. George j.
Ross as the incumbent. His name
stands high in the community both
as an accounting expert and man of
strict integrity. The King having
abandoned his tactics of obstruction
to the administrative functions of the
Ministry, the Legislature has adj
journed without day subject to the
call of the President. In view of re-
cent events the Assembly had no
other course, without jeopardizing
the interests of the whole people.
Therefore, the community will ex-
cuse the omission of the usual pa
geantry of propagation for the pres
ent.

Reform movement. If it was right
to give publicity to such things then,
what is there in the circumstances to
make it wrong now? There is not any
doubt that the Bulletin was aware of
the nature of the recent movement
among native reactionaries, abetted
by foreign renegades, but it suited
that papers partisan policy to conceal
the facts from the public, aggravat-
ing such conduct by attempting to de

The old year went out ard the new year
came IN, in Honolulu, with all the racket and
noise that the most ardent enthusiast in
noting changes in times and seasons could
desire. Steam whistles, bells, bombs, tin
horns and shontings closed out the ledger of
'S7 and opened the record of SO. However,
while the streets were noisy with elements of
disquiet to people of weak nerves. Mr.. Wray
Taylor was operating on the chimes of Kau-
makapill Church and ushering in the new
year with sounds of a more refined character
than those on the streets. By the morning
dawn the bombs ceased to explode, the tiI

mainder of New Years Day passed off with
the usual decorum of Honolulu Sunday.

If the Bulletin is victimized by com
munications under the guise of public
opinion, which in reality are insti-
gated by base private motives, that is
our contemporaries own lookout.
However, to anticipate any desire of
our friends for proof of an assertion
made in these columns, it may be
said that one of our contemporaries
late correspondents, whose motives
were self-evident, gave his authorship
dead away In advance of the publica-
ton of his letter. The Bulletin ex-
hibits a proneness to making use of
bluff without the skill to render it
even temporarily effective. Last eve
n1ng's issue shows it silly enough to
presume blindly upon ignorance that
does not exist in the community.

hide the discontinue of the faction it
has been serving, which has been set
