The government has refused to
entertain the application for the con-
structlon Of an elevated railroad in
Toxic city.
It is stated in the native papers
that the Russian Government has
subscribed 100000 in aid Of the
propagation..of Russian missions in
Japan.
The railways Of Japan now cover
a circuit of over one thousand miles.
It is intended to hold a meeting of
railway authorities in celebration of
this fact.
The sleeping cars ordered from
England for the Toxic line are ex-

thought they will be running by the

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

Conflicting Accounts Regarding the
PrOportiOnate Show of American
Exhibits.
It seems now, when matters are
getting more into shape at the great
Exposition, that the American ex-
hibits, and the premiums awarded
for articles of American production,
have not that large proportion which
was at first represented. A murmur
of dissatisfaction is now heard on the
western shores Of the Atlantic, and
Paris correspondent of San Fran
cisco journal bewails the position as
follows:
England and France have mag
nifcent display-fne passenger and
freight cars, massive locomotives
with wheels nine feet in diameter,
capable of covering seventy-two miles
an hour and carrying water and fuel
for run of $50 miles without stop
ping.
We hear a good deal from some
friends of the commissioner, who
don't seem to be very close observ-
ers, that America is coming in for a
good share of the premiums. But
you will find this to be mistake.
The French are not going to let any
more premiums go out of the country
than they can help. The Americans
have about forty members on the
several juries, and no more.
Many homeward-bound tourists
tell the same story. The exhibition
as whole is wonderful, but the
share their country has in it makes
them feel ashamed.
France took nearly all the space.
Great Britain came next, but simply
because her commissioners were on
the ground nearly one year ahead of
the American commissioner, grab
bling all the space they could lay
hands on. England has 256,OOO
square feet, Belgium has 100000
square feet, and the United States
has only $4,000 square feet.

At II O'Clock Monday, August 9Th, the
Cabinet met His Majesty at the Palace
and submitted to him the opinion OF the
Supreme Court, and again requested his
assent to the principle involved. HIS
Majesty replied that he accepted the de-
cision of the Court, and assented to the
proposition submitted by the Cabinet.
and requested that his assent be entered
on the minutes OF the Council.
Upon presentation Of the commission
of Col. Ashford for signature, His Maj
esty stated that since last Saturday he
had re-read the military law and was
convinced that the position taken by
him was incorrect.
He therefore signed the commission.
In pursuance of the power given to
the Minister of Foreign Affairs he has:
with the consent of the Cabinet, removed
Captain Kahalewai, commander OF the
Kings Guards for implicitly in the
late instruction, the command thereby
devolving upon Lieutenant Robert
Parker.
Orders were issued for the immediate
transfer of all arms, ammunition and
munitions of war, except those arms
and ammunition individually in use by
the Kings Guards, from the Palace and
Barracks to the Station House. These
orders were carried out by the Marsha
yesterday afternoon, with the assistance
of the police and special officers; anC
among other materiel transferred were
three beautiful brass feld-pieces of 3 inct
bore, ordered by the King from Austria
His Majesty has now conformed to the
provisions of the Constitution in the
matters above related; and the anxiety
manifested before he did so, is nov
allayed and confidence in future peace
restored.

DEPARTMENT OF THE JUDICIARY, }
Honolulu, Aug. 8, 1889.
To His Majesty's Cabinet:
GENTLEMEN: The Justices of the Su-
preme Court have received your letter of
to-day's date in which you state certain
circumstances under which you to day
formulated and presented to His Majesty
the following statement of principles:
"Before going further the Cabinet de-
sire a thorough understanding with
Your Majesty upon the following point,
viz:
"The Government in all it's Depart
ments must be conducted by the Cabi-
net, who will be solely and absolutely
responsible for such conduct.
''Your Majesty shall in future sign all
documents and do all acts which under
the laws or the Constitution require the
signature or act of the Sovereign, when
advised so to do by the Cabinet, the
Cabinet being solely and absolutely re-
sponsible for any signature Of any docu
ment or act SO done or performed by
their advice"
You further state that you advised His
Majesty that such statement of princi-
pies is in accordance with the Constitu-
ton and that it was his duty to assent
thereto.
You request the opinion of the Justices
of the Supreme Court upon the following
question, viz.
sis the authority and responsibility of
the Cabinet as set forth in the above
statement of principles in accordance
with and in pursuance of the Constitu-
ton or not"
We respectfully submit the following
reply:
By Article q of the Constitution, "the
Government of this Kingdom is that of
Constitutional Monarchy" and al
though the Constitution devolves upon
the King as the head of the Government
certain powers and directs that certain
acts shall be done by him, SO far GER
talnly, as these are executive powers and
acts, the exercise of them is controlled
by Article IS of the Constitution which
reads that, Wherever by this Constitu-
ton any act is to be done or performed
by the King or Sovereign, it shall, I'M
less otherwise expressed, mean that such
act shall be done and performed by and
with the advice and consent of the
Cabinet"
Article 81 of the Constitution declares
that the Kings person is sacred and in
violable and that His Ministers are res
ponsible: and Article Al prescribes that
mo act of the King shall have any effect
unless it be countersigned by member
of the Cabinet who by that signature
makes himself responsible.
There can be no dual Government
There can be no authority without res
possibility. The King is without res
possibility. The Constitution confirms
the responsibility of Government upon
the Cabinet: they therefore have the
authority. With this in view, we are
unanimously of opinion that the prin-
ciples formulated by you and presented
to His Majesty above set fourth are in
accordance with and in pursuance of
the Constitution.
We wish to say further that on the.oc-
casion of His Majesty's considering the
of his approval of an Act of
the Legislature of 1887 (Which is now

In UNION THERE is STRENGTH.

The events of Tuesday, July Both |
and the state of affairs several
months prior, should have the effect
of uniting al friends of good gov
eminent. The condition prior to the
Both was one Of unbridled and furi-
Gus license. Those who do not read
the native press can have but little
idea of the incendiary character of
much that it contained. The Elele
and Ka O1aio, have done their best to
excite that worst of passion, race
prejudice, with what results: walk
through the streets listening to the
conversation of the natives, will best
show. The instruction Of Tuesday
was attempted for the purpose of
restoring the old order of things.
This means, the Capitalization of
power in the King, irresponsible
government, favoritism with its evils,
extravaganza in expenditure, arbi-
trary and increasing taxation, oppre-
sion and corruption, lack of proper
protection to labor interests and to
the vast amount Of foreign and other
capital invested in the industries OF
the country, and speedy ruin. The
demagOgue will not tell these things
to the people, aud they go unlearned
till bitter experience teaches the
lesson. The revolution of 1887
gave us a Constitution not without
faults, but far better than any
thing Hawaii ever had. By it, con
stitutional representative govern
ment is assured. The King is nc
longer the prime factor in the gov
eminent, and he ought not to be
His position is intended to be sim
liar to that of the sovereign of Eng
land. This position is to be main
tanned It will not be abandoned
it will not be overthrown or defeated
by the attempt of such men as Rob
ert Wilcox or those who are behind
him. Continued revolutionary at
tempts and commotion can have bu
one result, the prompt extinction o:
Hawaiian independence, for our for
eign neighbors will maintain order
here if we can not. The promp
suppression of the revolt of the 3Ott
shows the strength of the present
government and this strength should
be maintained. No doubt the revolt
was encouraged by a misconceptior
as to the spirit which lay behind
much of the bitter comment in the
English paper for sometime past
It is evident that smaller persona
matters must be put aside and al
honest persons must unite in main
tanning constitutional government
1t is certain that people will unit,
for self protection.

THE DAILY
TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1883

We publish in another column, the
decision rendered by the Judges of
the Supreme Court, in the matter
referred to them, respecting the
authority of the Cabinet in executive
matters, acted on by the Ministers.
The decision is unanimous, and
leaves no doubt whatever that the
Ministers alone are to be entrusted
with and held responsible for every
executive act of the government. By
this decision the King is relieved of
all responsibility, though giving his
official signature to every document
that requires it. The Constitution
will thus become a power to unite
our cosmopolitan people.
This is the system of government
laid down in our Magma Charta, OBJ
tanned by force in 1887, like that of
the Barons at Runnymede, and re-
sembles the system established by
that great corner stone of British
liberty more nearly perhaps than
any other country. Queen Victoria
never takes part in the details of her
government. She leaves all these to
the various executive branches to
organize and execute. It should be
SO here, and we congratulate the
King in divesting himself of the
vexatious details and cares of his
Government, and throwing them
wholly on to his Ministers. Like
his great Imperial cousin, he can
now trust his Government and his
people with more abiding conf
dence, and they will always be more
ready to award him credit for every
meritorious act he may do.
