DEFINITION AND MEANING.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-ln one of
the New York dailies there is a quo
tation from "the learned Selden,"
a common-sense maxim, which has
as pertinent application to Hawaiian
politics now as to English controver-
sizes in the 18th century. "a mans
writing has but one true sense,
which is, that which the author
meant when he writ it," There can
be no doubt as to what those, who
framed our new Constitution, meant
when they wrote it. The language is
plain enough to those who read it
without any bias or partisan feeling.
Not only so, but those who franz
ed the Constitution, interpreted
themselves the 4Sth Article in ac-
cordance with the plain and obvious
meaning of the phraseology. No
one has denied the fact that those
who drew up the Constitution
meant to give the King personal
veto power.
But now we are told that the
meaning Of the Constitution is not a
question of fact. We must have
an authoritative definition" OF
Article 7S which shall make Article
AZ mean that independent veto
power is not given to the King. The
provisions of the Constitution must
be interpreted in accordance witt
what is now desired This is fran
tically asserted to be the only posi-
BILE means of securing the great OBJ
iect for which the Reform move
ment was started and enforced
This definition" is lauded and ap
proved as n liberal and statesman
like view of the situation. ThC
Supreme Court Judges are held re
sponsible, and denounced as traitors
to the foreign community, for giving
unlimited veto power to the King
They will rue the day, we are told
when they took advantage of the
opportunity offered by an innocen
phraseology to put such irresponsi
BILE power in the hands Of an unin
teiligent, childish, self-willed SOY
ereign.
But to minds not blinded by
partisan prejudices it would seen
that neither for the biunder made
nor for not giving the false inter
probation now insisted upon, can th'
Judges be called to account as re
sponsible for the disastrous conse
quences anticipated, or the perplexi
ties that have actually arisen. Th'
biunder, in giving Independent yett
power to the King, was a blunde
originating in want of due consider
alton. The attempt!to retrieve tha
blunder by taking advantage of |
possible perYersion of Ian .guage i
worse than blunder. II is curl
Gus phase of human nature, that w
see SO many OF our lawyers and s.
many of our good people insisting

in despite of the obvious meaning
of those who framed the Constltu-
ton, corroborated as that meaning
is by facts wellkuown to the inter
csted parties, that the Constitution
must be interpreted to mean what

FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1888.
THE MEN SHOULD HAVE THEIR
PAY,

we give 1uIl credlt 10 Jne Govern
ment for its good intentions and
honest endcavors to keep within the
Appropriation Act, by eSpending
no money other than has been ap-
propriated by the Legislature; but
at the same time we believe it posi-
BILE to impair the necessary public
service by keeping strictly within
the literal provisions of an Act that
appears to have made insufficient
provision for the carrying on of GER
tain important services of Govern
ment until appropriations are made
by the regular session of the Legis-
lature. Moreover, we are OF
opinion that actual injury is now
being done by strict adherence to
the Act.
Employees, according to our in
formation, in certain departments,
are being paid for their services, not
in cash, but by /. o. US, or
promises to pay, which the holders
have to retain, until appropriations
are made, or get converted into cash
as best they can. This latter can
not be done apparently without
allowing q liberal discount, which
means so much loss TO the wage
Garner. Instances in which accom-
mediation has been granted in con-
sideration of discount have been re-
ported to us, and others have com
planned of being unable to obtain
even this concession. This method
of conducting the public service un-
doubtedly creates reasonable dis
satisfaction, and tends to impair the
service.
The Government can certainly
plead the Appropriation Act, and sc
far is admittedly in the right. But
if the example of other countries
and the precedents of this be allowed
to have any influence in shaping th'
course of the administration unde
existing circumstances, it woul'
avail itself of an overdraft or
temporary loan, which is no doub
procurable, and seek indemnity from
the Legislature by bill of tha
nature. This is part of contingen
Ministerial responsibility, and cas-
in which we think Ministers shoul
assume it.
We do not place the payment c
workmen's wages on par with tn
''Makiki claims" The latter were
foranythlng weknow to the contrary
perfectly just as well as long Owe
due, but were not of that pressin
nature that warranted the Cover
ment in paying them before tn
money had been appropriated fc
that purpose. Nevertheless, the
were paid without warrant of Law
Herein the Government was hasty
Wages for work done, as in th
road department and the running
the tug boat, are different matter
and should be paid when due, eve
if the expedient just now refcrre

natural born fools would have sul

Outrageous Conduct.

A Portuguese on horseback last Tues
dav afternoon chased three head OF cattle
at full galop down the Prison road and
up the hill toward Palama. He -four
ished his lasso and yelled like a Co
manche Indian, and it was fortunate
that no passenger carriages or small
children were encountered by the crazy
scamp. Had police been near he would
have been liable to arrest on any or all
of three or four distinct criminal charges.
The evidence is still obtainable II the
authorities trace the offender up, as they
may do by the cue from the above CIR
Cumstances.

New LondOn's S0nsAt10n-OddF FelIeWs
 Capture the Town.
 The sensation of Thursday in New London was the visit of the Providence Odd Fellows. The steamer Elm City arrivied at the wharf shortly after o'clock in the afternoon, and from that hour until o'clock when she sail ed the city wore 6 holiday aspect. The visi- tors were the First regiment Patriarehs Miii. tant of Rhode Island; Pilgrim lodge, I. O. O. F.; the grand master of Rhode Island and the grand officers, Mayor Robeson of Provi' dence, and others of various degrees of prom thence. Canton Unity No. 19, of New Lon- don, reinforced by some members of Canton Oneco No. g, of Norwich, PeqRot and Mohe- gan lodges, met the visitors at the Shore Line wharf and after the exchange of the customary courtesies and regulation salutes, a procession was formed and a march made through the principal streets of the city. The National band of Providence and the Third regiment band furnished the music, which was excellent in character and admirably rendered. At the conclusion of the parade Canton Unity entertained the Patriarchs in Aohegan lodges new quarters in Garfield block at a simple luncheon, and the members of Pilgrim lodge were treated with equal hospitality at Pequot lodge room by Pequot and Mohegan lodges jointly. Ed- ward Dalton of Pequot lodge acted as mar shal and discharged his trust with great credit. The brilliant uniforms of the Patri- archs were much admired, and the men in line displayed great proficiency in the differ ent tactics of the order. The visit was mu- tually agreeable and its repetition is hoped for next year.

 Weeks-A Glance At the Improve
 ments of the Ed1Aee.
 This church, which has been closed for nine Sundays, will be open tomorrow at 10:50 8. m. The improvements, which have been going on in the interior during the summer are now completed, and consist of bringing forward the choir and placing upon 1t on either side stalls and prayer desks made of hard wood, oiled and rubbed. A rail, corresponding with the rail of the chan- eel proper, runs around the whole, except wide passageway to the communion, and by this entrance stand two handsome candlela- bra, with thirteen burners in each, lighting the prayer desks and the burnished cross up- on the re-table. The whole church has.been newly carpeted, the cushions and wood work cleaned and everything presents an air of richness and neatness.
 A parish building in connection with these Improvements has been erected, open- ing into the church and affording accommo- dation for the Sunday school, Bible classes, lectures and Ladies Aid societies. This building will soon be finished and then the of the parish will be complete.
 The excellence of the work is due to the contractor, George Rockwell.

 Yesterdays Hartford Courant says: There is happy arrangement of classes at next weeks meeting at Charter Oak, each day having some brilliant event fer leading card. Although the great $10. 900 stake is to be settled on the second day, Turf, Field and Farm thinks that the free-for-all of the last day will equal it in interest, and remarks that sit will be the first time in the history of the American turf that three trotters, all with records Of 2:15 or better, contended in a race. The track has been put in superb con- dition, and the meeting is sure to be grand success" After a careful survey of the en- tries it sees no class where there will be 8 walkoveE or even pronounced favorite.
 There will be plenty of company at the park this and tomorrow afternoons to look over such of the horses as have arrived, and chat with the boys about their trip down the circuit.
