Interest Reviving in Both Battalions-
1.-THE Kamehameha Guard"
Last night was the regular drill night
of Co. A, Honolulu Rifles Cat the Rifles
Armory), and of the Leleiohoku Guard,
of the ID Battalion Cat the Queen street
armory). Tire was good attendance
over thirty privates, besides officers
and file-closers-in each company. Col.
Ashford visited both armories.
MIR. f. B. Thomas proposed to present
Co. A with steel engravings of American,
English, German and French military
incidents, for the decoration of that com
pany's room IN the Armory. Capt. Zeig-
Ter and his command formally accepted
MIR. Thomas offer by company vote.
1t is reported that interest in military
matters is decidedly reviving. This is
especially the case in the Rifles. a new
drum corps is being formed by Drum
Major King, of that Battalion, and prepar-
ations are being pushed by officers and
men for a full parade on Decoration Day
AS that has come to be acknowledged
as a sort of military holiday in Honolulu.
1t is also understood that orders went
forward to the East by yesterdays
steamer to complete the equipment Of
the officers of the I'd Battalion.
This latter corps have unanimously
adopted the suggestion made by Col.
Ashford at the dinner some time ago
given by him to the officers (and reported
in the ADVERTISER at the time), by TAX
ing the name OF " Kamehameha Guard :"
for the Battalion-a proposition which
has been approved at military headquar-
tiers; and the I'd Battalion will hence
forth be known by that name, as the 1st
Battalion is known by the name of the
original company of that now historic
6prps-the Honolulu Rifles.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Antf-IIIicit Liquor Law OF Last SEES
sion Declared Void.

sion Declared Void.
A four-fiths majority OF the Supreme
Court has declared unconstitutional and
void the main provisions Of the Act Of
last session OF the Legislature, TO prevent
the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquors.
Tie Court find the title not applicable
to the objects and therefore uncoRstitu-
tional. Certain provisions are found
contrary to the Constitution as being
class legislation, and others likewise in
violating the property rights of citizens.
The wording OF one of the principal sec
tons is severely condemned as indefinite
and ambiguous.
This opinion is rendered on the appeal
OF August G. Fernandez against COnvic
ton and fine of $50 and costs in the
Honolulu Police Court, for the otfense
under the Act Of having on his premises
five gallons of wine and beer, he hold
ing a license to do business and not
being one OF those coming under the ex-
ceptiOns of druggists and licensed liquor
dealers. Another provision of the same
Act was recently declared uncOnstitu-
tiOnal in a suit by Wing WO Chan Com
pany to recover liquors seized under the
Act.
Associate Justice Dole dissents from
the Chief Justice and other three Asso-
ciate Justices. He holds that the inten-
ton of the Legislature being plain, there
is not such ambiguity in the expression
as should justify judicial nullifying of
the legislative will. The Legislature has
the power to restrict the liquor traffic and !
to limit constitutional property rights in !
that respect for the common welfare. 1t !
has a right to use very strict measures |
for the suppression, particularly, of the !
sale of liquor.
Where the majority order the convic-
ton quashed, the dissenting Justice holds |
it should stand
