One of the sections OF the new elecuon
law nrovides that the seat OF an elective
member of the House may be declared
vacant. for non-attendance upon the
sessions or business OF the Legislature.
IF this had been the law at the present
session one or two seats might have oeeh
vacated or rather in all probability the
,osult would have been fuller seats OF
some designations. The average at
tendance at the daily sessions has hardy
exceeded forty. A glance at the cans OIL
tbeayes and noes will show that thirty
nine is the average number who voted'
and as a rule all present did vote An
attendance OF forty out OF the tifty-two
COMPOSING the Legislature shows large
parcentage of absenteeism. James
Campbell is the only member OF the
House who has not been present at a
single session, he having been absent
during the whole time and that "l.iiou'
excuse. Several members were week De-
fore last excused from further attendance
for the remainder Of the session.

"THh Constitution that he pirates so
much about, gives the King the right to
do it, Il. e. to veto bills), and don't
see why he shouldn't do it"
The above was said by Noble Wide
mann in replying to the speech OF Noble
Smith upon the Coffee bill veto on Mon
day week. 1t affords a good text for a
discourse upon the fitness of legislators
fer the duties required of them 1t also
gives the electors food for thought until
the next election. The spirit and inten-
ton OF our CONSTITUTIONS to put us upon
the basis of English practice and law.
Imagine member of the House OF Com
mons rising in his place and addressing
the Speaker, solemnly state that the
British Constitution reserves to the
Queen the right to veto bills passed by
Parliament and that, as for the member,
he saw no reason why she should not do

THE proposed Chinese amendment 10
the Constitution came up for discussion
obont-2 O'Clock Wednesday The Chinese
were present in force. Naturally they
are deeply and intensely interested. In
spite Of the frequent discussion OF the
subject heretofore, it was again debated
with nearly all OF the fervor OF new
proposition. Perhaps this was because,
as Noble Widemann said, the final re-
consideration OF the committee was
very wild affair as contrasted with the
original proposition. The final PROPOSE
tion-full of exceptions, reservations and
provisos as it is-proposes to allow legls-
lation, naming and limiting the occuPa-
ton or employment excepting agr1cul-
turab in which Chinese or any class OF
them may engage; to permit the regis
tration of anv class of Chinese; to limit
the estate or interest in land they may
ACQUIRE and to limit the time mot less
than six years. in which they may re-
side in the country. Chinese residing In
the country when the amendment shall
he adopted are excluded from its opera
tion. But this exception would not
allow any such Chinese to engage in any
new business. 1t will allow limitation
of time during which Chinese may con-
tinue to engage in any business. Mr..
Nakaleka pertinently said that if class
legislation like this is to become incorpo-
rated with the Constitution nothing would
hinder an amendment in future which
would permit the restriction OF Ha-
waiians to the cultivation OF kalo only.
One feature of the debate which recon-
mends it highly was its calm and dis
passionate tone. Every member APP
peared to appreciate the gravity OF the
issue and acted accordingly. An argu-
ment made by the Minister Of the Inte-
rior was either too wide or not broad
enough: that the House ought to adopt
this amendment in order to lay it before
the people that they might express their
opinion. If this is good logic certainly
the Minister ought to. have voted for
every other proposed amendment, in
order that they might be submitted to
the people. The proposed amendment
vas lost by vote Of % to IL.

WEDNESDAY the Legislature finished
tBa consideration of the Appropriation
hill nnon its second reading. The con-
sidaration of the bill was commenced
unon the second OF July, and conse-
ouentlv it has occupied about two
months. although during the past nVe
waal,s if has not received consideration
three times each week as at first. The
bill has grown from its original dlmen-
sions by hundred thousand dollars or
more. Very few items have been de-
creased or stricken out; several nave
been increased and goodly NUMBER
have been added. The additions to the
hill have. almost without exception, been
in the line of public improvement new
roads and bridges chiefly. The sum oil
slO.772 was added for the purpose OF
having so much out OF the $S2,Ooo Tor
funeral expenses OF Her Royal Hlghness
Iikelike. $4,000 was added as a sub
sidv for an inter-island submarine cable.
The total amount called for by the bill
will not fall much short OF $3,45o,oOO'
and includes about 100000 wholly con-
tingent. A new feature OF this bill is
that the absolutely necessary expendl-
lures are wholly separated from all
others

prevented from taking his seat again
from the same cause. Yet if the same
thing occurs here, no one seems to feel
that anything is out of the way, or at
least that that view may not fairly be held
under our institutions. II our changed
conditions mean anything, they mean
that irresponsible exercise OF any power
is forever ended in this Kingdom. A
blow was given to this view by the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court holding that
the veto power is apersonal prerogative.
But even this decision must be taken as
deciding only that by the strict reading
OF the Constitution the power OF the
King to veto a bill is personal. 1t is
stated that when the decision was read,
one OF the Justices said in the hearing OF
all present, that while they held the law
to be as stated they should most earn
estly advise His Majesty to take the adj
vice of the Cabinet upon all questions.
This appears to indicate that the Court
while approaching the spirit and intent
OF the Constitution, yet felt compelled to
give the decision rendered, simply be-
cause any other appeared impossible on
the strict wording OF the instrument.
Noble Widemanu no doubt spoke
what he thought, but had he the right
to think so? Has anyone the right, to-
day, to think that the exercise of ire
sponsible power is allowed by our Con-
stitution? We think not and believe
that every one of those who voted to sus-
tain this and other vetoes, thereby de-
feating the will OF the people expressed
through the majority of their representa-
tives, will some day believe the same
and will regret such vote. We may not
feel at once the inconvenience and
wrong OF permitting the King to con-
tinue with q small minority of the Leg
islature to defeat the will of the House,
but the day will surely come when it will
be seen to have been a very grave poll
teal mistake. The King is no fool as
to his rights and privileges. He
cares nothing for the theory of the
sacred reserve and distance of the
sovereign. He has no objection to en-
tering the legislative hall in person,
through a veto given in defiance of his
Cabinet, whereby he becomes liable to
personal animadversion and perhaps to
abuse. He can and will readily afford
all OF this provided he may thereby in
crease and strengthen his personal pre-
rogative and power. We may be sure
that in every possible way the lost
ground will be regained. This we must
expect and shall have to constantly fight
or We shall, not slowly, gravitate to our
former condition. The history of the
past twelve years is too clear and near at
hand to admit Of any mistake. The
same King reigns and there has been
nothing to indicate any change in
| his ambitions or desires. If pos
sible he will regain the lost powers
In this he will be assisted eagerly
and willingly by very many and, let us
hope, unwittingly, by the men who de-
clare in the face of our Constitution and of
all the facts that cone tyrant is better
than four" 1t is also one of our misfor-
tunes that the liberty we now have is
not appreciated nor understood by a
very large number Of our voters. 1t is a
truism but forcible nevertheless, that
we do not value what costs nothing.

Col. M. Thompson, has, conformity with
his general law practice, inaugurated a
branch of the legal profession in vogue in
England and the United States, which will
be valuable to those who choose to avail
themselves of it, namely, the giving of
written opinions, upon facts stated to him
in his Office corner of Fort and Merchant
streets, Honolulu. or by letter. The opinion
will set forth the facts as stated to him.
and give the laws and the authorities. an
plic9ble to the facts, and his opinion as to
the course proper to be pursued, and also
the probable result of an action at law, or
equity, as the case may be, and after the
client receives, reads, and understands the
opinion, he NAV decide whether to 90 to
law or not, and he is of course, at libe 4y
to employ any person he may chocss o
prosecute his suit in court, if he should
decide to go to law, after reading and under.
standing the opinion. Col. Thompson is
the author of law books which are read ar
provingly in the United States Supreme
Court, and other courts, and especially the
courts of the district of Columbia, where
he resided and practiced law. 1884 2t*
