DEAF NIUTES.

Startling Increase OF This Unfortunate
Glass in America - Theory of the
Cause.
The Sacramento Union has the
following editorial:
The deaf mutes are increasing in
this country at a rate out of all pro
portion to the increase of the pOpu-
IaGon. The reason assigned for the
fact is stated by the scientific Oh
servers to be the intermarriage of
deaf mutes, and for the abnormal in
crease of those not born deaf mutes,
to be the prevalence of cerebro-spinal
meningitis. The assurance is given,
however, that the indications are
that this latter cause is not to con
time. The scientists tell us, also,
that if the practice of intermarriage
Of deaf mutes continues, it Will not
be long before we Will have a large
class, constituting a variety of the
human race, that will be deaf and
dumb. This Is by no means com
fOrting. and suggests the thought
that this Intermarrylng may be pro
hibited, on the ground that it results
in the abnormal increase of a Deepen
dent class that the community is
taxed to support. Some idea of the
increase of these intirm people NAV
be gained by the statement that
whereas in 1880, when we had
5OOOO,OOO population, there were in
the Union nearly $4,000 of these
afflicted people; in 1850, when we
had but 23,000,0O0 of population, we
had but 9,S03 deaf mutes. SO the
increase in that period was greatly
out of proportion to the increase of
the whole population, for in 1850 we
had but one Of these dependents to
every 2,346 Of the people, while in
1880 we found we had one to every
1,476, in round numbers. These
figures are sufficiently startling to
give force to the thought that the
intermarriage of deaf mutes should
be forbidden.

The JAPAN CONSTITUTION.
Leading Features OF the Instrumental

Leading Features of the Instrumental
PoIity Allied to the German.
The japanese Constitution, which
was promulgated IN February last,
consists Of five laws, namely: The
Constitution of the Empire of
Japan" the Imperial Ordinance
Concerning the House Of Peers"
the Law of the Houses" the Law
Of Election of Members Of the House
of Representatives, and the Law
Of Finance" They comprise in all
332 articles
In the first, the sacred and inviol-
able nature of the Imperial title and
the perpetuity of the Throne are as
serted with the fullest emphasis.
The Emperor remains as before the
source of all law. But his legisla-
tive function is hencefOrth to be ex
ercised with the sanction of the
Diet. Only in presence of an urgent
necessity to maintain public safety
or to avert a public calamity can he
issue ordinances in lieu of laws, and
it is expressly provided that such
ordinances must be laid before the
Diet at its next session, when, if not
approved by that body, they become
invalid The parliamentary system
of the new Government is vested in
the House Of Peers and the House
OF Representative constituting the
Imperial Diet. The Upper House
is partly elective, partly hereditary,
and partly nominated. The heredi
tary portion comprises members of
the Imperial Family, Princes and
Marquises. The elective portion
comprises both noblemen and COM
moners. The noblemen are Counts,
Viscounts and Barons, elected by
the members of their respective
Orders, in numbers not exceeding
one fifth the numbers of those
Orders. The commOners are chosen
by cities and prefectures-One by
each-from among the highest tax
payers.
The Lower House, or House of
Representatives consists of three
hundred members, elected by ballot
in districts fixed by supplementary
| law
The new constitution is framed in
! part from those of the United States,
England, France and Germany, is
| said to resemble most that of Ger
many, the Imperial members of the
Parliament largely Outnumbering
! the cOmmOners.

Mr.. ED1roR:-It is a pity that the
Minister of the Interior and the
Hawaiian Tramways Co. cannot
come to an agreement about crossing
the Waikiki bridge. As it is the cars
stop at the Honolulu end, and visit
ors to the park have a long, hot walk
over the sweltering bridge before
reaching the outrageous shades
beyond. What is wanted are two
cuIverts, then take up the planking.
and dump rock on the sand and
make a good broad roadway. There
is plenty Of material close at hand.
When the country Is troubled with a
surplus, then we can have a sea wall
and grand promenade. The bridge
is unsafe to cross. There is not a
good plank in it, and the underpin-
ming Is rotten IN places. 1t would
be cheaper to make a stone road
than to replank. The tramway Is a
great public convenience and should
be extended to Diamond Head with
out delay, the trustees having given
permission to enter the park. ii
the tramway was laid around the
race track it would be much more
satisfactory to the public than to
end at the grand stand. Then let

A ISLANDER DISPOSED OF.

In the Bulletin of the ODD, Jus
tice" make a grievous complaint on
behalf of the native Hawaiians as
having had "a part of the franchise
taken from them for being poor"
and for taking a slice Of the vote
for mobiles from them because they
had not a certain amount OF money
in their pockets" "You can amend
go ''-o---p, .s'JS, - o.
ing them the full franchise, which is
theirs 10y right of birth and every
hallowed right in the sight of God
and man."
This charge of depriving the Ha-
waiians of an inherited franchise.
previously possessed, is a very grave
and most injurious one to bring
against the present Constitution and
It's authors. 1t is a charge which
has been continually harped upon
by the verminOus portion of the
native press, for the vicious object
of exciting the hatred of the native
against the foreigner. As this false
and malignant allegation has at last
come to the light in English dress,
we propose to treat it as it deserves.
To begin; the Hawaiians have in
herited no franchise by right. of
birth. Within the memory of mid
die aged men, no man in this coun-
try, native or foreigner, possessed a
vote. The entire law making and
law administering power, taxation,
expenditure, and justice were abso-
lutely in the hands of the King and
chiefs. The common Hawailans
were the last to have anything to
say in the government. They were
abject serfs, and their fathers before
them, from ages immemorial. That
they ever came to exercise, what was
at first, a quite limited right of suf-
frage, was due to the efforts of
benevolent foreigners, acting upon
the good viii of Kamehameha III.
and his advisers. SO much for the
Hawaiians' inherited right of suf-
frage
Again, no part of any franchise
has been taken away from any Ha-
waiians for being poor, or for any
other reason, since every Hawaiian
now possesses all the rights of fran
chlse he ever possessed, and more.
When was "a slice of the vote for
mobiles" taken from the Hawaiians?
Until the present Constitution came
into operation, did any man in this
Kingdom, save the King, have the
power of casting a ballot for one
single noble? He did not; and
Justice" knows he did not, or else
Justice" is an idiot. Every Ha-
waiian, poor or rich, holds all the
power of electing our Legislators
that he ever had; and the man that
says otherwise knows that he Is bear
ing false witness.
Further, so far from the present
Constitution having diminished the
. Hawaiians' right of suffrage, it has
materially extended it, and that in
two directions. In the first place.

to take part in the election Of mobiles

How to Advertise.

A paper is governed entirely in its
advertising patronage by the char
acter Of its readers. A paper de-
voted to fashions and read by ladies
would be excellent for dress goods
and toilet specialties, but would
scarcely be a good medium in which
to advertise pig iron, steel rails or
steam engines. On the other hand,
paper reaching active business
men, the proprietors and managers
of establishments, the men who do
all the general buying that is done
in the business world, and who in
private affairs lead in their respec-
tive circles, is well adapted to adyer-
tise everything which business men
buy.-The Office.

never possessed before. That which |
was formerly the sole preregative Of
the King, is now the right Of every
citizen who possesses the moderate
income of SIX hundred dollars per
annum. And this right is enjoyed,
as it should be, irrespective Of the
circumstance Of the voter being
Hawaiian or a white man.
The other extension of the fran
chise, and it is an important one,
is in the abolishing Of a pro
perty qualification by which the
former Constitution limited the right
to vote for representatives. Now
every native of twenty years old and
upwards can vote for representatives,
whether he has any property or not,
thing he could never do before.
Thus we see that the new Constitu-
ton, 50 far from robbing the Ha-
waiian Of any part Of his franchise,
has materially enlarged it.
To the authors Of the new COnsti
tuition, the subject Of the House of
/ Mobiles presented a very serious
/ problem. The new system required
4 the choice Of the mobiles to be taken
away from the Sovereign To sub
| iect the election Of the mobiles, like
/ that Of representatives, to universal
/ suffrage, would be to make the
mobiles substantially the same as
| representatives, and SO practically
! abolish them as a separate instltu-
ton. The object, if any, of having a
! class of Legislators distinct from re
| representatives., would be to secure
more conservative influence than
universal suffrage would be likely to
| give. 1t having been thought best
not TO make so radical change as
that Of abolishing the mobiles, their
/ election was committed to the small
property holders, and those posses
sing an income far within the aver
age of mechanics wages. This was
a change in the popular direction,
! but not to the full extreme of an
unqualified suffrage. To represent
il as a robbery of the Hawaiian's
rights, is simple falsehoOd and
malignity.
The origin and true animus of
this kind of talk is more evident
than its authors probably suppose.
The cloven foot is quite conspicuous,
and the beast to which it belongs is
no great mystery. We have here
merely the kick of certain interested
parties against the fact that the
elective franchise has been largely
extended, that the choice Of mobiles
has been taken from the King, and
that full equality in voting has been
given to foreigners. 1t must be re

where white men run the whole bust
ness and commercial affairs of a
country, as they do here, they also
run the government. 1t does not
seem unreasonable that the white
man here should ask as much, and
no more, than equal rights of suf
frage with the natives. Those who
try to stir up i'll will on that account
are on the wrong course. They may
perhaps do some injury to the pub
lie interests, but they cannot possib-
ly secure the power and other advan-
tages they covet for themselves.
The purpose and effect of the
present Constitution has been the
curtailing Of irresponsible power,
and the enlargement of the political
rights of the people. In this en-
largement, both natives and foreign
ers have shared. Those who deny
that fact are either woefully ignorant
