TEN PAGE EDITION.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER "a. 1899.

We print elsewhere an abstract of
a decision of the United States Fed
eral Court which declares that rail
road cannot suspend operations on
a non-paying branch, because its ex-
elusive franchise is coupled with the
obligation to furnish such transpor-
tation as the convenience of the pub
lie demands. The decision is an in
teresting and important one, and is
very beneficial to the public. 1t has
been suggested to us, half in jest and
half in earnest, that the case might
have a possible application to our
Sunday train question, and that a
Court of Equity, in the interests of
the public, might enjoin the railroad
company from taking their trains off
on Sunday.

But the virtues of Dom Pedro could

Ii the above view of the function
OF representative is correct, it fur
nishes simple criterion by which
his relations to the public may be
judged. In all those matters which
are definite issues it is right and
proper that he should be pledged.
In the details of those matters, and
in all other matters, his private
judgment and sense of right must
be left full play, and these are the
only terms on which valuable men
can be got. No man of any indivi
duality, of any independence, will
consent to be the mere mouth-piece
of others be it as preacher or editor
or legislator or in any other public
capacity. If we want earnest and
honest and strong men to make the
laws, we must give them freedom.
A legislature Off mere proxies is
sure to be either itself a idespot, OF
the tool of monarch OF a mob, We
can have that kind of legislature if
we want it. There is nothing easier
to get. The chronic danger of free
government is degeneracy. But we
need not fear the men who decline
to be mere tools of the people, for
men of that stamp are at least sure
to become the tools of no one else,
and are the only men to whom we /,
can safely trust power.

Railroad Interests vs.srublio Rights

Railroad Interests vs.kPublic Rights
An Iowa paper, published at Council
Bluffs under late date, states:
Judge Lovelof the Federal Court has
rendered decision which settles the
right of railroads. to suspend operations
OF non-paying lines Attorney Sheldon,
of Chicago, for the United States Trust
Company, applied to the court for an
order on the receiver on the Wabash
system to have the road known as the
Clarinda branch connecting Roseberry,
Mo-, and Clarinda, Iowa 4 suspended, on
the ground presented that the receipts
of the branch were not sufficient to paw
expenses The order was refused, the
Court declaring that railroads are gov
ernmental institutions, public convey
ances and common carriers. The right
to build a road through private property
was granted on the representation that
the road would furnish Transportation
for the public. People are dependent
upon such roads for Transportation.
Courts have no right to deprive people
of this transportation on the showing
that the road does not pay expenses. By
obtaining the right of the way from the
people, they were cut off from the other
similar means of transportation, and the
Court has no means of knowing what
damage to merchants would ensue from
the granting of this, order. 1t is not the
duty of the Court to ascertain such facts

The Kauai nominations are excel
lent. They mean, that all of the
nominees can be depended upon to
support constitutional government
as opposed to one man power or the
control of an oligarchy. Mr.. Kanoa
is one of the most sensible and clear
headed of Hawaiians, and his pres
ence in the Legislature will be at
once a help and an inspiration to
others of his race. Mr.. Knudsen
has legislative record which pre-
cludes the possibility of his sup
porting any retrogressive or unwise
measures. Mr.. McBryde is a new
man, but his sturdy Scotch ancestry
indicates that he can be depended
upon wherever the rights of the
people clash with private or per-
sonal interests. The others on
both tickets have well established
records. The whole ticket is admir-
able and will no doubt receive the
support of natives and foreigners
and be elected. The other islands
will do well if they get such repre-
sentative and good men. The ticket
is one which cemmends itself to all,
and is in line with the whole policy
advocated by the GAZETTE.

in our times In the church and out
of it, contend for a more enlight-
ened and liberal conception of the
"day of rest" are working more in
His spirit than those who are merely
upholders of tradition.
70 tell the truth, our Sunday law
is morally obsolete. 1t is or ought
to be dead letter. The conscience
of the country has outgrown it. and
it does not meet with the approval
and endorsement of the best minds
Of the nation, whether in the church
or out of it. It is not in harmony
with the most advanced religious
thought of the day. To arrest a
Cinnamon for working in his own
vegetable garden on Sunday is reli-
gious persecution, and all the fine
names in the world can never make
it any thing else. Doubtless such
laws were the work of good and con-
scientious men, bnt their concep-
tons of the Sabbath are now hope
lessly out of date.
The day of rest has broader and
higher function than has hitherto
been assigned it. 1t is above all
things the day of opportunity, of
opportunity to satisfy all the accu-
mulated unsatisfed needs of the
week. The need of rest, of recrea-
ton, of education, of cultivation,
moral, intellectual and spiritual, all
have a claim on its too few hours.
Among these needs the religious
nature has its place, but only one,
and its preoccupation of the whole
day is an usurpation. Devotional
exercises are eminently proper for
the Sabbath, but not more so than
innocent and healthful amusement.
1t is just as proper for my neighbor
who needs rest, change and fresh
air to seek these things at Pearl
River on Sunday, as it is for me to
go to church. He ought to have his
opportunity as well as I mine. This
is not an irreligious view. The
church of Continental Europe has
never been able to find anything un-
Christian in it, and perhaps after
more reflection we shall not find it
so here.

lHE deposition OF Dom Pedro is
another of the signs of the times,
and shows that the people are
marching on. The manner of it is
chiefly interesting as conspicuously
illustrating that unconscious and
lnsensible progress which goes on
beneath the surface and steals upon
Us like the shadow on the dial plate,
nnperceived. The most important
changes are not necessarily, are not
usually, those which make the most
noise in the world. Society is an
organism which grows like the
human body, through the operation
of forces ont of our ken, and largely
beyond our control. We think we
are the same until some sudden
awakening tells us that we are not.
The new generation is different from
the old, without knowing how it has
become so.
The abdication of Dom Pedro is a
testimonial to the reality and amount
of this insensible progress. He
yields not to bayonets, but to events.
He is the victim of the democratic
tendency of modern society. The
growth of public opinion as poll
teal force, as the controlling force,
gives us a new type of revolution-a
bloodless one. The possibility of
such revolution is a menace to all
the thrones of Europe. 1t is a
warning that rightly or wrongly the
democratic principle has leavened
all our modern society. Institu-
tions, established ideas and Gus
toms, the force of fixed habit and
sentiment, are powerless to stem
such a tide. Soon or late, kings
must bow their heads and consent
to be submerged like the noble Dom
Pedro, happy if their submission
shall be as decent and dignified as
his.
The criticism of modern thought
is directed against the hereditary
principle. 1t is recognized that
that principle has played a
commanding and a useful role in
history. The world would have
Jared i'll without it. But society
so deeply permeated as ours with the
spirit of rationalism in religion, in
politics, in social life and relations,
must naturally feel more strongly. |
with every fresh year, that it has no |
use for the hereditary monarch. |
Unless the world can be made to go |
backward, we must believe that mon
archy everywhere is tottering to its
fall. In Germany it is saved for the
present by the high abilities, energy
and patriotism of the Hohenzollerns.
In Italy It is sustained by the mem
ory of Victor Emanuel, and in Eng
land the humble and domestic vir- !

PLEDGES OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Now that we are SO near to the
new election it may not seem inap-
propriate to attempt to attain some
clearness as to what the duties and
responsibilities of Legislators are.
1t is particularly desirable to, know
inst what we have Alright to demand
of our representative, in just what
degree we are entitled to subordinate
his will to ours, and just how far his
judgment should be left free scope.
The position of representative is
peculiar and delicate one. He is de-
pendent and independent at once.
He stands for others and yet stands
for them in way which does not
entirely hamper his own freedom of
thought and action. The word rep
resentative is a partial misnomer.
1t does not state the full case. The
representative is more than mere
proxy. He is delegate, and the
powers of government are delegated
to him.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
theory of representative government
is precisely the same as that of
pure democracy. In the latter the
people really and directly govern
In the former they elect some one to
do the work of governing for them.
They delegate the powers of govern
ment. The difference is very pro-
found one. In a pure democracy
the will of the people is directly
declarative of the laws. 1t makes
the laws by an immediate act without
the Intervention of any other agency. |
In representative government, the
laws are made not by the people but !
by persons in whose uprightness and |
wisdom the people have trust. The
control of the people over legislation |
is limited chiefly to their power to
determine who shall be Legislators,
in other words, who shall govern for
them. Govern themselves they do
not and cannot. 6h -rdt llgi
1t is easy to infer just what adj
vantages republicanism possesses
over democracy, and just what dis
advantages. The will of the people
does not find such direct and certain
expression, but it enlists reason, re-
Election and discussion in its service.
The relation of legislator and con-
stituency is like that Of attorney and
client. The attorney is limited and
determined by the interests of the /
party whom he represents. But in
his conduct of the case he acts in &C
,ordance with his own knowledge
and Judgment, to the guidance of
which qualities the client surrenders
lis matter. So the representative
lcts for the people and not for him
'elf, but the guide to his conduct
must be his own reason and con-
cience. Ednund Burke had the
courage to tsIl his constituents on
memorable occasion that determine
ion should not precede discussion.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1889-12-24

We do not mean to imply that con-
stituencies should have no direct
voice in legislation, and that they
have no right to exact pledges from
their representatives. The reverse
is true. 1t must not be forgotten
that the legislator is a representa-
tive as well as delegate, that he is
elected not merely to do the general
work of government but to give
effect to every specific declaration Of
the popular will. When there are
clear and well defined issues before
the country embodied in solemnly
adopted platform, and when the
candidate is elected on this plat
form and these issues, he is bound to
give effect to them as far as Vinhim
lies, and wilful failure to do SC is
breach of public trust. If the
representative from one point Of
view is independent, guided only by
his own judgment and answerable
only to his own conscience, from
another point of view he is only
trustee, trustee of the public will,
the repository of a power and auth
GRITTY not his own. And he is false
to the duties and responsibilities he
has assumed and betrays his consti-
tuents, if he fails to express the
will. which they. have solemnly
placed in his hands. .1gltffFtIgi

ROME, Nov 25.-The italian parliament
was opened to-day by Humbert. In his
speech the King alluded to the smallness of
the defect il: the budget and said the gov
ernment's wise and equitable policy as
sured tranquility to Italy and guaranteed
peace which, thanks to the concert of the
great powers, would be assured to Europe
His utterance was greeted with great ap-
plause. Continuing, the King said the
questions which might disturb the peace
had not yet been settled and it was neces-
sary therefore without undue demands
upon the budget to continue to provide
military and naval protection to Italian
unity and independence. He expressed
the hope that the armameuts which the
powers were preparing would not be
used. Italy, he said. would lay
down her arms in Africa when an
international agreement should have been
reached guaranteeing to her the very con-
siderable possessions she now had in that
continent and recognizing the wide sphere
of his influence. He hoped that he would
be enabled to promote humanity IN regaad
to which ne had been outraged by much
barbarity. In conclusion King Humber
said: II shall always pursue the work Of
civilization from which all our advantages
arise"
The King was enthusiastically cheered
on his way to and from parliament.
