Now that DR.. Carpenters authority
has come out SO unequivocslly in favor
OF the theory which Mr.. Scott and many
others in Honolulu have held in regard to
Mr.. W l. Bishops performances, that
they are, to quote DR.. Carpenters own
language, the result OF Mr. Bishops
clever Interpretation OF signs unconsci-
ously given him by the subject, we i'm
agine that the scientific curiosity Of most
persons in Honolulu is entirely satisfied.
Dr. Carpenter was, and his books still
remain, very high authority in all ques-
tons OF physiological psychology, and
since he, after witnessing Mr. Bishops
experiments, seems TO have been convinc-
ed that they furnished no proof Of any
actual although transferrence, it is improb-
able that many persons in Honolulu will
remain OF different opinion.

Why not bring up the Appropriation
Bill and have done with it, is the question
which the various representatives OF alb
solutism now ask. Why, indeed! Since
the day OF Richard II. who tried to fol-
low out the former royal practice OF de-
ferring answers to petitions for redress Of
grievances until the last day OF the
session OF parliament, there has been no
excuse for ignorance OF the constitutional
method OF requiring royal assent to pop
ular demands, formulated in acts OF
parliament, by postponing supplies until
the assent comes. Is it possible that any
wise friend OF Hawaii wishes to see a
legislature which can ignore or fear to
use that ancient constitutional method
of securing the approval OF its own enact
ments?
Whstever is done about necessary ap-
preparations, the civil list must remain
in abeyance until it is learned whether
the King means to refuse his signature
to laws made by the Legislature with the
full advice and consent Of the Cabinet,
and TO work the veto power as means
OF expressing his personal wishes and
power. Ii that is the intention. the
majority Of the House which controls
the purse-strings, il not the yetoes, viii

There can be no question but that our
present silver and gold currency is the
best We have had for forty years past.
Formerly coins from every country
drifted here, making mixture of good
and debased money which was attended
with constant loss to every one. Now,
Hawaiian silver and American gold and
silver, being the only legal coins, We
have currency which cannot be i'm
proved on, except as indicated, by the
issue OF Government paper, to serve the
convenience Of the business interests of
the country. That Government alone
should be the sole issuer of paper money
is evident for two reasons-as being the
most reliable security for final redemp-
ton OF the notes, and a. the only one
entitled to all profits arising from their
loss or destruction, which amounts to at
least one per cent. per annum OF the
total amount issued For these reasons,
We trust that if any action is taken by
the Legislature, it viii cover the whole
ground.

THE Report Of the Commission upon

printer at last after more than the usual

That Government alone should be
authorized to issue paper money will
be admitted by every unbiased person
as sound policy for US, in our present
condition and circumstances. What is
required, then, is law making provi-
sion for the issue by the Government OF
treasury notes OF the denomination OF
twenty, fifty, and one hundred dollars,
secured by gold or silver deposits in the
treasury, and payable to bearer on pre-
sentation. 1t is not necessary that treas
ury notes be payable in gold; silver will
probably answer just as well. at least for
the present, and the amount issued will
be governed solely by the surplus OF
silver there may be in the country The
main object is, to have a medium less
cumbersome than silyer-in other words
the paper money would be issued for the
convenience of the business OF the
country, and whenever silver coins be-
come scarce, they can be Withdrawn
from the treasury by whoever wants
them, on surrender OF treasury notes to
the same amount.

Tn washington dispatch referred to

The Washington dispatch referred to
bv Mr.. Putnam, T. s. Consul-Genersl,
was clipped from the San Francisco
Call, to which it was special and copy
righted. As We had been informed of
its existence as far back as the day the
last foreign mail arrived, and the Call
being one OF the papers most generally
sold here, il was never dreamed that the
publication in these columns would
prove surprise TO the ConsIl-General.
Mr.. Putnam's actual communication to
his Government is quite different from
the version given by the correspondent,
and it is to be hoped that the latter will
not be very widely copied in the United
States, as the erroneous information
might do this country much harm.
Under the impression that the CORE
spondent wrote by the text, We believed
that the Consul General must have had
facts to support the statement attrib-
uted TO him; but everybody here is well
aware thst Whist he now shows be did
communicate to his Government is in
disputsbly correct,

Once let sugar become Improbable

abroad to pay for our imports until people

currency shall then be U. S. gold, with
no more silver than is required and actu-

trouble, for exchange could not exceed
about one per cent, the cost OF sending

take but short time to cause gold to
disappear from circulation, or command
not less than twenty per cent. premium.
Small retailers and large importers will
then find themselves swamped. The
loss OF profits and revenues from the fail
ure OF remunerative sugar market
would be nothing to the ruin and dis
tress which would come from such 3
currency.

We are glad to see that the outrage
perpetr&ied On Mr. Tinker BY the police
has been punished as 1t deserved to be.
The officer who made the arrest, or as
sault, as it should more properly be
called, together with the bystander who
aided and abetted him, WAS last week
convicted BY Judge Dayton Of assault
and battery, and fined. The judgment
was characterized by Judge D4vton's
usual good sense. He very properly
said that nothing brought the depart
nent into such discredit as arrests ike
these. The truth is that the police In
Honolulu are little too fresh, to rut it
with more force than elegance, and s
check like she present Is very wholesome
and nece, sary.

The bill which has been brought
before the Legislature, making the issue
OF paper money by any private party or
corporation penal otfense, does not
provide for such legislation as seems IL
be called for The bill has but one sec
ton which we quote in full:
Section /. Any person, corporation
or company OF persons, who shall issue
or pass any note, bill, order, check or
certificate OF deposit, payable to bearer
in any sum of money, with intent that
the same shall be circulated as cur,
rency, shall be guilty OF misdemeanor,
and shall for every offense be punished
by fine OF fifty dollars

Such are some OF the leading provi-
sions OF this Act We have only been
able to touch upon the subject in very
cursory manner because the public pa
tience has very palpable limit. 1t
will readily be seen that the bill is a
complete revision and reconstruction OF
the electoral system OF the country. 1t
renovates it from the foundation, as
completely as the cask of which every
thing had been renewed except the bung-
hole. In the same manner, the bill
embodies so many reforms that it prac-
tically leaves nothing of the old At the
expense OF some repetition we will
enumerate the leading features They
are as follows
l. The Redistribution of Representatives.
.. Doing away with the tax receipt sys-
tenn.
3. Providing for uniform ballot, printed
at public expense.
!. Limitation OF candidates expenses.
5, Penal provisions to maintain the pur-
ity OF elections
6. Provision for secret voting.
I. The record system, by which investi-
cations are made possible and thorough.
8. Extension to the Supreme Court Of the
power to determine the legality of an
election.
And several other minor provisions.
We have the opportunity to avail our
selves of the experience OF other nations,
and embody in our law, everything
which they have found conducive to the
public good. 1t will be to our lasting
credit if We do not let the opportunity
slip.

The old difficulty OF an excess OF silver
coin still exists, it is only kept from
activity by the large deposits in the
treasury and in Spreckels' and Bishops
banks. There is no other mode OF re-
moving the difficulty Immediately than
by melting up the surplus silver and
replacing it with gold goin. The cost
of this, for say $500, 900, would probably
be $4,000; but perhaps the permanent
benefit of that outlay would be inestim-
able more than equal the outlay.

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-06-26

OSE OF the worst abuses in the present
election laws OF the country has been
the tax receipt system, or the practice OF
requiring every voter to exhibit his tax
receipt at the polls before being admit
ted to vote. The consequence has been
that whoever controlled the tax receipts
controlled the vote; and it was a COM
mon practice to get possession of them
on the pretence OF taking care of them, u
by direct purchase or otherwise, and
then only giving them up, accompanied
with the ballot, at the very polls them
selves. The bill now before the House
makes payment OF taxes necessary be-
fore the voters name is put on the vot-
ing list. 1t follows that whatever is done
with the receipt before, when the name
is once on the list, the voter can do
what he pleases. The natural result is
the abolition of the tax receipt fraud.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-06-26

What seems to US the most important
reform contained in the entire bill is the
plan by which secrecy of voting is
secured. At present, as everyone knows,
the ballot box is publicly exposed, every
one having access to it, and the act Of
voting being entirely without privacy.
Ii the briber wishes to be certain that
the bribed deposits the right ballot, all
he has to do is to see it dropped in the
box. Bribery will never cease to be a
wholesale process as long as that is pos
sible. According to the proposed law
the voter steps into the polling place
and is furnished a ballot. He then steps
into compartment into which no one
else is allowed to enter and puts a cross
opposite the name Of the candidate for
whom he desires to vote. He is then
required to fold the ballot paper with
the names inside, and then with the
paper he steps back into the polling
place and deposits the ballot. This
simple arrangement. which has been
substantially copied from English and
American statutes, deals a death blow
to bribery. Bribers as rule have no
very exalted opinion Of the reliability Of
the voters whom they corrupt, and when
they are absolutely without guarantee
that the voter will keep his contract, they
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-06-26

Other features of the bill are: the
division OF Honolulu, Hilo and Waikiki
into districts, each electing a single
representative it is supposed this will
tend to bring about that grand desidera-
tum OF republican government, minority
representation; second the abolition of
the tax receipt system with its conse-
quential frauds; the provisions for secret
voting by which the briber is cheated of
his market; the abolition of the old sys-
tenn OF inspection, and substitution OF
one better calculated to secure the de-
sired results; the record system which
makes thorough investigation possible
whenever there is contested election,
finally and generally the severe and
thoroughgoing provisions against brib-
cry. There are number of other useful
features of the bill some OF which, among
those already alluded to, will be consid-
cred later in detail There are also
probably some things which will call for
amendment or revision.
