COMMENCEMENT OF CONGRESS.

Congress has begun its session.
The new House is Republican by a
narrow majority Its full member
ship is $50 and 166 form a quorum.
The Republicans have 169 members.
WILDER (Rep.) of New York is seri-
ously Ill, consequently the Republi-
cans must attend in force to carry
their points. Payne (Rep.) of New
York comes without the certificate of
the State Board of Canvassers, which
will not meet until the middle of
December, and there is some talk of
raising a point against him; Amos
Cummings (Dem.) of New York Is
in the same fix, and there is chance
to even up on him if necessary. No
delay in organization is probable,
but the session is likely to be long
one. Important matters will come
up, some of which will challenge
Democratic obstructive tactics.
There are several contested election
cases to be settled. The Republicans
will probably undertake revision
of the rules to prevent filibustering,
which the Democrats will fight
tooth and nail. The consider
alton of Federal Election law will
also call out determined opposition
from the minority, and a tariff bill
framed in accordance with Repub-
lican principles will, of course, give
rise to almost endless discussion.
Other matters of general interest
will come up, some of which will
take a great deal of time. 1t is alto
gether likely that the silver question
will be brought forward in some
shape. The Blair Educational bill
threatens to make trouble. There
will be reports from the Dressed
Beef. Irrigation, Canadian Railroad
and Commercial Relations commit
tees. and their considerations will
take time. The Samoan Treaty will
also be submitted, and our relations
with Canada will demand attention.
The subject of coast defense prob
ably Will, and certainly ought to be,
taken up in earnest With. these
special and the usual food of ordi-
nary matters requiring legislation,
and with a narrow Republican ma
ior1ty, it is likely that the session
viii be prolonged until next fall
I Exchange.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-12-17

Republicans of that unhappy coun-
try cannot learn this simple
lesson. The result is that while
they are falling out over trifes and
flying at each others threats, every
election threatens them with a die
tator or king and their folly i'm
perils the safety of everything which
they have gained at the cost OF so
much blood and suffering and tears.
Now we are in precisely the same boat
here. The one issue OF overwhelm-
ing Importance in France is, shall
the republic go on. The one issue
of like overwhelming Importance
with US, is, are We going to save our
free constitution, our so lately ac-
CURED, our new era, or, are we to
to take step backwards 1t is this
uncertainty which makes every
thoughtful man look forward
to the approaching election with
anxiety. 1t is this issue which
ought to unite every man among us
who cares that government of
the people by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the
earth. For every Anglo Saxon, for
every free man, among US there
should be no doubtful question here
He should throw aside all personal
feeling, should forget all minor diff
ference and cast his vote where it
will tell the most in this great
matter. There are, there must be,
thousands in this country of all
shades of opinion who are as one on
this question. If they vote together
and we hope and believe that they
will vote together,-the future is
safe.

Heavy Weather on a rramcar.

Quite breeze of excitement passed
over the usual calm of tramcar passage
Friday evening, on the occasion of the
voyage of the 6 o'clock outbound Pa
lama car. At the down grade, which
commences at the corner of Liliha street.
an attempt was made to put the brakes
on but they not holding the speed
of the car became accelerated to such a
degree as to force the horses to a very
lively gait. The old turnout was quickly
reached and when the car caught the
switch, the angle taken, with the speed,
made many passengers feel that the car
and contents would be dumped into the
Liliuokalani fish-pond As it was the
car jumped the track, but the good judg-
ment used by the driver prevented the
expected spill.

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
statements made, or opinions expressed by our
CORRESPONDENTS
In Answer 10 rev. euliek.

In Answer TO Kew. QUICK.
Mr.. ED1ToR: In your issue of the
10th inst. I notice a communication
from the Rev. T. L. Gulick, in which
he seems to be very much offended
at notice in former issue of your
valuable paper relative to the rum
ming of trains on Sunday over the
Oahu Railroad, on account of not
being, according to his ideas, work
of necessity. Now. 1 would like to
ask the reverend gentleman If he
thinks there is any more harm in
running trains over the above-men-
toned road on Sunday than there is
in running trains over any of the
railroads in America, or in any other
country, and whether he has an idea
that an accident is more liable to
occur on that day than on any other
day of the weeks
Mr.. Gulick compares Sunday rec
reation to sthe unlimited sale of
opium" and ''the most indecent hula
hula" and then goes on to bewail
that the laws against Sunday work
are not sufficiently enforced to COM
pei people either to go to church or
stay at home on Sunday instead of
taking a pleasure trip to the coun-
try for the benefit of their health,
and enjoying themselves, although
he admits that "here on Maui China
men and others are arrested for
working in their own gardens on
Sunday" which L hardly think is
fair, as, although a Chinaman's re-
ligion may be altogether different
from Mr. Gulick's, it may be- just the
right thing to enable him to
secure a harp and a crown
when he come to need them, for all
that Mr.. Gulick, or any one else can
prove to the contrary. At the same
time he seems to forget that large
majority of the people in Honolulu
have to work hard all the week, and
Sunday is almost the only day which
they have to themselves, and
whether they arrange to go to
church, or to take a trip to the
country on the railroad cars, is no
body's business and ought to be left
for themselves to decide.
If railroads have more attractions
for people on Sundays, than any in
ducements which the churches can
hold out, / hardly think it is min
ister's place to have them stopped
by law on that account, or people
will begin to think that the churches
are losing ground. The right of
every individual to go to church, or
not, on Sunday, or any other day for
that matter, should be left to the
dictates of ones own conscience,
and not 10 the opinions of his neigh
bors, and / hold that no one should
be forced by law to do anything
contrary to what he or she may think
is right with regard to his or her
beliefs. III. n.

The Mechanics Union Committee Hold

A special meeting was called Tuesday
evening, under the auspices of certain
members of the Mechanics Union, for
the purpose of a gathering together of
the committees of the Hui Kalaiaina and
Mechanics Union in convention, osten-
sibly for the purpose of nominating can
didates for the positions OF Mobiles and
of Representatives from the district of
Honolulu. The meeting was to be held
at the Knights of Pythias Hall and Z
o'clock was the hour named for the
assembly. At little past the
hour there was full and complete
attendance of the members of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Mechanics Union
and they seemed prepared to take the
bull of politics by the horns if necessary.

P. NJ. chairman Mehrtens of the Me-

it seemed as though the Union was in

would be in order upon subjects of inn

the Union. In response to the call. sew

mately allied by commercial and
polite ties. Now that the Republi-
cans, for the first time in so many
years, are in control of both branch
es of the Government, it does not
seem unlikely that the United
States may at last make some use OF
the Pearl river concession. This
seems particularly probable in view
of the generally warlike policy OF
the Republican party and their pres
ent activity in building ships of war
Certainly no way of disposing of the
vexatious surplus could be more
agreeable to the sentiments of resi-
dents here.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-12-17

IN UNION Is STRENGTH is an old
saying but it is always true. The
sentiment might be well suggested
at the present time to the friends OF
constitutional government 1t begins
to look as if the Reform party might
suffer from lack of unanimity of
action. In years gone by, but
chiefly prior to the Gibson days,
there were about as many platforms
as candidates. Even the Opposition
was such merely on general princi-
piles; there was, if any, only the
lowest organization. For the com
ing election, it looks as if the candi-
dates might be nominated upon local
issues, without sufficient regard for
national questions. In some cases
too. there appears danger OF local
antagonism. This is no time for
wasting strength. Every energy
must be bent towards one object,
and all efforts should be united.
Predictions are freely made that the
coming elections will ''snow under"
the national Reform party. These
i'll omens are very likely based
on the bowls of the press for
the past two years. But when
intelligent voters consider-and they
all will-before voting, they will
recognize that there are but two
main issues presented to the coun-
try; the maintenance of real consti
tutional government or the return to
the rotten days of old In short it
is, progress or retrogression. Those
who are without principal, without
patriotism, desire the latter 1t is
they who are nursing race prejudice
exciting class against class and in
even threatening blood Such persons
are no doubt in small minority,
but by reason of persistent action
and of violent, unfounded, charges,
they have secured a following They
declare that the Reform party is
hopelessly divided against itself,
and now confidently predict the
overthrow of the government and
the ruin of the present system at
the coming election.
1t is time, therefore, that the
sober, conservative elements of the
country became aroused. 1t would
be well for delegates to be elected
from each of the twenty-four cleo
ton districts of the Kingdom to
meet in convention in Honolulu and
unite upon certain definite princi-
pies to be announced Upon such
action, the Reform party would
stand before the country in a
stronger position than ever, and
would carry the elections.

CONSTITUTIONAL Government is
hardly two years old in this country,
and it would be no miracle if its IN
tried methods should prove for us
strange. Constitutional government
is simply another name for party
government, so that the one is Just
as new to US as the other. 1t is our
free constitution which makes par
ties possible in this country. They
were not in any proper sense. posi-
bic before. The Car Alexander
once said to an English Ambassador:
How shall / introduce constltu-
tional opposition into Russia." The
answer is not recorded, perhaps it
was never made. but any English
mans first thought must have been,
"Give the Russians free constit1-
ton, and government by parties viii
follow of itself. The power of an
imperial Ukase can never cali it into
existence"
Every great change, political or
social. inevitably creates a certain
disorder until things have adjusted
themselves to the new conditions.
The chaotic condition of public
sentiment, the uncertainty of opin-
ion. the confusion and multiplication
of factions which characterize our
affairs to-day are nothing more than
the natural consequences of our first
experiments In the art of self govern
ment. They are the ferment which
proceeds the crystalizing process.
Our care should be that when the
crystalization really comes it should
be satisfactory. We must make our
issues broad and clear and definite,
of importance enough to interest all
classes throughout the country. The
first condition to the formation of

peaceably about little things and
