We hold to the good Amer
lean doctrine that the exercise
of the elective franchise is the
democratic feature of our in
situations, and that in demo-
cratic form of government it
is Of the first Importance that
there shall be as few artificial
restrictions as possible placed
upon the free exercise of the
peoples will. Indeed, if it
were otherwise, the power Of
the people would be but a
name and a shadow, and totally
insufficient for the ends Of Il
democratic form of govern
ment. There can be no guar
anty Of the perpetuity Of any
form Of self government when
the legislature is endowed by
the organic law with authority
to impose political disabilities
upon the people of the state.
There is no "politics" in oppo-
sing the adoption Of the con-
stitution from this standpoint.
We are simply contending for
4 principle of abstract justice.
Probably it will never make
any difference to anybody in
Idaho county whether our
Mormon fellow citizens are
disfranchlsed or not, but it
becomes a serious matter when
we are asked to adopt an or
ganic law which clothes the
legislature with authority to
"prescribe qualifications, limi-
tations and conditions for the
right Of suffrage additional to
those prescribed in this Arti-
Gle. What is sauce for the
Mormons may not be a relish
for Gentiles, and while it may
be true enough that the legis-
lature will never use or abuse
its power, yet the safest and
best plan is to remove the
source oftemptation by voting
down the constitution which
thus strikes at a funda-
mental principle of self gov
eminent.

the constitutional convention
insisted, in spite Of our warn
ings and threats, in creating a
legislative despotism which
will, if the constitution is
adopted, have absolute power
over the political rights and
privileges Of the people. Not
content with incorporating the
test-oath in the constitution,
and thus forever DISTINGUISHING
a large, worthy and law abiding
part of our population, as well
as their unborn descendants,
they went further and with
shameless disregard Of the
rights Of the people they have
been guilty of the accursed
and ill-omened folly of tearing
down the old ramparts of po-
litical equality which IS the
birthright Of every American
citizen, and of inaugurating in
lieu thereof a regime Of re-
stricted suffrage, with them
selves as the censors and arbit-
ers of who is and who is not
qualified to vote.

are asked to ratify imposes
upon the people the burden of
supporting eight judges. Idaho
has about as much use for
eight judges as barn door
would have for eight brass
knockers.
Read carefully Section 4 Of
Article vi of the proposed
constitution. 1t creates leg
islative despotism, and puts
all the political powers which
the Preamble declares to be
inherent in the people into
the hands of the legislature.
A legislative despotism is Just
as odious to liberty loving cit
liens as monarchical or any
other form of arbitrary or des-
potic government. All trust
an constitutional government
is based on the assurance, not
that the depositaries of power
will not. but that they cannot
misemploy it. The people are
themselves the best and safest
guardians of their own liber-
ties, anyhow, and we opposed
in the convention this whole
sale surrender of popular lib
critics as something which the
convention had no right to give
away. We have no overwcen-
ing confidence in legislative
bodies, and experience teaches
us the danger of placing I'M
limited power into their hands
and trusting to their discre-
tioa for its proper exercise.
Most constitutions consist of
express limitations of the
powers of the three depart
ments of government, but the
trainers of the Idaho constitu-
ton reversed the process and
gave TO the state government
all those powers which the
people should retain for them
selves and their posterity.
Section Is Of Article VII
provides that under state gov
eminent the county govern
ments shall be conducted on a
leash basis" This is simply
an impossibility, and we con-
tend that it is neither good
business sense nor good public
policy to take money from the
pockets of the people and lock
it up in the county treasury
to meet future expenses. There
is too little money circulating
now, and if that is taken from
us and locked up and kept idle
in the county treasury from
one years end to the other we
may as we'll go into bankrupt
cy, and then emigrate to
country where the law will
allow the money of the people
to fructify in the pockets of
the people until such time as
it is absolutely required for
governmental purposes.
Under the constitution the
counties of Idaho and Nez
Perez are deprived of their
just quota of representation in
the state legislature. Other
counties with no more votes
or taxable property than Idaho
are each given a senator, while
we of Idaho county are expect
ed to be satisfied with a half
interest in a senator from Nez
Perez and Idaho counties.
The same unequal representa-
tion prevails in the house of
representatives, where we are
allowed a member and a half.
while Boise, Custer, Lemhi,
and other counties which are
on a practical basis of equality
with us as regards votes and
taxable property, are given

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

Our neighbors of the BULLETIN
took us by surprise as they must
have surprised the public also, when
they issued an illustrated edition,
showing the Palace and Music Hall,
from plates used in the Paradise of
the Pacific. We only regret that
they did not accept our offer to print
off their papers for them in more
rapid and heater style than they
were able to do it, as our presses
will turn out 1000 copies an hour,
now since all our presswork is done
by steam.
Well, to get even with our neigh
bors, we have set our engravers to
work and shall be able to illustrate
the Music Hall as it now is with a
beautiful picture never used before,
which will be found in the weekly
GAZETTE on Tuesday next, August
9Th. Besides this really beautiful
view of the Music Hall, there will also
be in the same paper a picture OF
the Palace with a portion of the
Bungalow and a large portion
of the Government House, all OF
which were located in the scene OF
the rebellion. AS the weeklies are
waking up to advertising the Islands
we trust our patrons will see that
they are well circulated.
OF the Daily ADVERTISER there
have been printed this week (six
dates) about 1000 copies, of which
$3.50 were issued on steamer day,
August I'd. When the cable is laid
to San Francisco this may be no I'M
common occurrence. Let US have
the cable and the news!

Mr.. JUSTICE PRESTON H0NoRED.

Mr.. Justice Preston, one of the
associate justices of the Hawaiian
Supreme Court, has recently been
appointed member of the council
OF the Selden Society.
The standing of this exalted So
ciety, and the consequent honor con-
terred upon Hawaiian Judge, may
be better understood when few of
its best known members are named.
Queen Victoria is Patron; the
Lord Chief Justice of England is
president, and Lord Justice Fry is
vice-President. Among the mem
bers of the council are: The Prince
OF Wales, the Chief Justice of the
United States, II. r. II. the Duke of
Connaught, and the Lord Chancellor
of England.
This society is of the most elevated
rank, and its objects are to encour-
age the study and advance the
knowledge of the history of English
law. With such distinguished roll
of members, the society cannot be
otherwise than select; and the honor
OF admission as member of It's
Council cannot be too highly priced
when it is considered that the quail
fcations for admission must be of a
very high standard and of estab-
lished repute

What He Saw and Thought.


Mr.. EDITOR: Remembering an
article in the ADVERTISER entitled
Steamer Day in Honolulu" went
to see the Australia off. [ have not |
had the opportunity to witness a
steamer sail for the coast in several |
years, and I enjoyed the spectacle
with much interest.
The loads of vegetation carried
by many of the passengers around
their persons was one peculiarly
that first attracted my notice, and it
was certainly unique. One slender
lady carried on her shoulders and
waist about fourteen pounds weight
of plants, and the flowers inter
mixed were doubtless skillfully
placed.
The gangway was quite study,
not so much of itself, but in the
numbers and variety of persons
who went up and down it like ants
going to and from their hill. Then
when the last whistle blew, and the
march down the gangway became
general, it was quite study to
watch the different modes of step
ping adopted by each individual.
While one adopted striding pace,
another would take the shortest pos
sible steps, and another would skip
lightly aud easily. No two persons
) adopted the same kind of step or
, the same kind of attitude. One
person was all smiles, and another
was evidently in state of great
anxiety.
Looking over the rail Of the
steamer were a number Of very
l pretty female faces, and others that
e were not so pretty; but all seemed
i to feel that they were the observed
of all observers, and SO they were
Q There were among the passengers
f many we'll known persons; and the
@ alohas spoken and acted were II
keeping with Hawaiian customs anC
: tropical instincts.
) It is not pleasant to see people II
}. tears, especially when they have ad
+ vanced in years; but it is interest
ing nevertheless.
Il The Hawaiian band also contrib
uted to the sensational portion o
g the scene, and rendered the cad
! ences of step and motion more uni
form. I think of getting my son t.
. write poem on Marching Dow
Q the Gangway," but whether it will
) resemble Marching through Geor
h gia," time will alone determine.

At the annual meeting of the Suez
Canal Company, the receipts for 1888
were stated to be 100000 francs
and the expenses only 7,643,000
francs. The dividend paid was 81
francs exclusive of 100000 francs set
aside for new works. During the
year 3440 vessels, carrying $4,000
passengers passed through the canal,
and 1908 vessels passed through by
night. The average duration of the
transit was 303 hours.

A Reputed Cure for Leprosy.-Where is
the Benevolent Man Called. for?

Nh. EDITOR: It may perhaps give
you pleasure to be able to
notify the natives of the Sandwich
Islands through your columns that
positive cure for leprosy has been
discovered. In conversation with
an old sailor a few days since, the
fact of its cureability was clearly
elucidated and the modus operandi
infinitely given. "Forty years ago."
said the old salt, "We sailed away
from Honolulu with lot of raw
hands we had shipped on board, as
we were scarce of men, and obliged
to have help of some kind. We got
we'll under weigh, before any of these
men came under the Captains eye
for inspection. AS you know per-
haps, the sailors in those'climates go
very bare about the breast, and upon
the appearance of one of the new re
cruits before him with his breast ter
ribly spotted with black and yellow
patches, the Captain called a halt
and wanted an explanation. The
native could tell him nothing, only
that his whole body was covered in
the same way. How many of you
are in this shape" asked the Cap
tain. "Three besides me-" was the
reply, and then my informant was
called up and told to go to the sur
geon's chest, make a certain mixture
to rub on the skin of these men, and
certain other compound to take in
ternally at the same time. 'He was
ordered by the Captain to attend
strictly to these men himself, and
that shortly they would be well.
Well, he attended them faithfully
obeying the Captains orders to the
letter, rubbing these men daily with
his own hands, and seeing to it that
they took the medicine night and
morning regularly, and in three
months time they were entirely well,
and one of them is now living in
San Francisco, hale and hearty to
attest to his perfect cure, though he
breads to let it be known, that he
was ever a victim to this fell disease.
Forty years ago these cures were
effected and it is most singular that
in this age such thing has remained
unknown all this long time. I OBJ
tanned full description of the medi-
cines given and all that was to be
known about it from the old man,
and now I write you this desiring to
know in what way it would be best
to make it known to the Hawaiian
Government, so that it could be i'm
mediately put to use to lessen the
great curse that has for 80 long hung
over those islands. The medium I
shall not keep made up for sale, as
it could be easily analized and 80
could be made Of little profit.
What I would desire to do would
be to sell the secret to the govern
ment for a certain sum, which it
would be we'll worth its while to
give I might perhaps be benovo-
lent and give it to them, only / am
very poor person myself and have
not $500 in the world. There must
be wealth enough there to buy such
a secret, and not think a few thou
sands too much to give for relief from
the most loathsome and nauseating
of all diseases, which is universally
thought to be incurable. I could
get the mans testimony in San
Francisco who was cured so long
since I am convinced, by properly
representing it's importance to him.
