TIE AMERICAN MISSION AT PoNAPE.

The statement that the American
missionaries on Ponape had origi-
mated and fostered the troubles be-
tween the Spaniards and the natives
cannot possibly be true. The only
American missionary on the island
was Miss Palmer. in charge of a
school for girls. She is not likely to
have fomented any disturbance. A
native assistant, Nsnape, was active
in saving the lives of the two priests
and four soldiers whom he brought
into the schoolhouse, which the ma
tives respected.
But the Spaniards seem to have
had no gratitude for such kindly in
reference. and have shelled and
burned the mission premises. News
from Ponape to friends here is to the
effect that three Spanish men of war
had arrived with two transports.
Five hundred troops were landed
Sept. II. A colonel, a lieutenant and
thirty-one Spaniards were killed.
The natives were determined to sell
their lives dearly. No natives were
killed.

NOW Is the Time.

The Advertiser is making model
of Joseph Cooks sermons. Its edit
orials each day consist of prelude
and a harangue. In this mornings
prelude two very consistent pas
sages occur: "Let us have these de-
tails right away. There is no time
like the present" The words just
quoted are addressed TO the Attor-
ney-General. Then, speaking for
itself, the Advertiser says, 'In due
course we propose to publish the
facts concerning this subject" "
''In due course" should have been
to-day, if, as YOU tell the Attorney
General, "there is no time like the
present." Come, now, "lct us
have these details right away" DO
not wait to have more falsehoods
conjured up about that treaty, as
when the Ministry denied all COM
plicity with The protectorate pro-
posal. on the draft being first
divulged.

Although, judging from reports
that come to hand from time to
time, our road board system cannot
be pronounced an unqualified sue
cess, it has never been shown that
the system, or some modification
thereof, cannot be made to work
satisfactorily. The experience of
the past two years has probably re-
vealcd defects to intelligent observ-
ers, which the coming session OF the
Legislature should give attention to,
with the view of amending. The
policy of placing roads and road
moneys under local control has been
tried in many countries, and after
long trial declared sound and salts
factory. There is no apparent rea-
son for disbclieving that the same
result may he achieved in this king
dom.

AGAINST ANTl-ANTISRAMUS.

EDIToR BULLETIN -
There must have been some forci
BILE and truthful home thrusts, in
"Stray Notes" by "Antishamus,"
to have brought forth such weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth,
as appears to be running through
the cpistle of "Anti-Antishamus,'
in the Gazette of April 4. We know
that the truth, correctly and well
told, oftentimcs cnts deeper than
falschood; which probably accounts
tor the whine spiccd with battery
in parts of "Antl's" cpistle. He
says, "The loafer agrees with you
entirely" Loafcr, is it? Hold
there, my fine fellow, the loafcr, as
YOU call him, gave your clique such
set back on the 9TH Feb. last that,
politically, you will never recover
from it again. You found the loaler
unpleasant!y plentiful on that day,
did you notI The only truth that |
can find in his article is where he
says, "In this country, the question
of the missionary in politicsisa dead
issue,s etc., which is true, but be-
ing the third time of his political
death. The first occurred on the
death of Kauikeaouli. The second
on the death of Lunalilo. The third
on the death of justice and princ-
pie; caused by . complication of
diseases, one among the number
being dsfranchiscmcnt. There is
not the least doubt in my mind, that
this will be the last political death
of the missionary; therefore the
public should be merciful and let
him down easy. But if he expects
to have mercy shown him, he must
box up those political blood and
thunder sermons, also those politi-
cal twistcrs that too often appear in
the columns of the Friend, for they
only irritate and create bad blood.
My opinion Is that a political
preacher or church member Is n
mischief maker, and bad animal
to have in any community. The
moment preacher commences to
preach politics from the pulpit,
or outside of the pulpit, he
Immediately loses confidence and re-
spect from the outside world, and
oitentimes from the inside. Politics
and religion mixed together will
cause friction; and no amount OF
oil will stop it. As for the Advcr-
tiser and Gazette, their operators
are supposed to have gone crazy
upon too much Bush politics, and
commercial treaties, therefore hardly
responsible for their acts. Mr.
Bush should call halt and let VI
on the Rev. Mr.. Parker, for res,
assured if all missionaries were oi
his stamp there would be no trouble
in this little country as far rs The
missionary is concerned. Another
thing, the natives have no better
friend in Hawaii than the Rev

THE CABINET DIFFICULTY.

1t would be undignified in me TO
further reply to the attack made
upon my official action by the Adj
vertiser, in a series of editorials,
continued from day to day. That

three he should resign; this, on
British precedent. But, while Brit
ish parliamentary politics are gov
erned by precedent, ours, in similar
conditions, are governed by Consti.
tutional provisions. In England
the Prime Minister is the Cabinet,
so far as practical results go. If
another member is "not in accord
the Prime Minister may demand his
resignation, or the Queen may exer-
else her prerogative and dismiss
him, or, she may dismiss the Prime
Minister himself, or the entire Cabi-
net. The Prime Minister advises
the Queen. Here we have no Prime
Minister. There, everything is gov
erned by precedent here, by writ
ten law, either constitutional or
statutory. Here, no statutory pro-
vision can annul the meaning or in
tent of the plain words of the Con-
stitution (See Art. iO); there, par
liamentary law is, practically, the
Constitution.
But really the Colonelcy business
| is ONLY handle sought to establish
the precedent here, that three men
are "the Cabinet" in order that
they NAV then enforce the signing
of the objectionable treaty by the
King. If the King were once throt-
tied by "three-lcgged" Cabinet,
the majority could enforce anything
and everything to their pleasure,
before the meeting of the Legisla-
ture, and have themselves immov-
ably planted IN the interest of few
wealth acQuirers, on the very ground
they fought out disastrously to them
selves on the 9TH of February. Does
British precedent show us Cabinet
or Prime Minister endeavorng to
force upon the Sovereign an objec-
tionable measure against which the
people have already passed their
vote, and on the very eve of the
meeting of hostile Tor any Parla,
ment. The learned Judges are very
sparing of their "British precc'
dents s''-simply because they canno,
be found TO fit their view of this
case: while the only one they dc
refer to is here merged in first &
constitutional, and next statutory
provision; so that no British prece'
dent can be invoked to defend the
illogical conclusion that where tht
same statute limits certain power:
to "the Cabinet" and certain other:
to majority of the Cabinet" these
two expressions mean one and the
same thing. LOGIC.

the THREE-LECGED CABINET,
AND The COlOkELCY.

EDITOR BULLETlN:-
Article 40 of the Constitution
says: "The Cabinet shall consist of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
Minister of Interior, the Minister
of Finance, and the Attorney-Gen-
cral." The Supreme Court have
nevertheless said that three members
compose the Cabinet. They arrive
at this conclusion-a conclusion op-
posed to the only plain meaning
of the words of the Consti-
tution--by citing CD the wording
of several statutes where "the Cabi-
net" "the entire Cabinet, ""all the
members of the Cabinet" are used
in reference to certain duties; CD
by drawing from English precedent.
But they entirely ignore the an
lithesis implied by these facts. In
the Hawaiian Military Act, wherever
it is provided that the Colonel elect
may be disapproved, it can be done
by "majority of the Cabinet" !"
but where any appointment is men
toned, it must receive the approval
of "the Cabinet" Each of these
contingencies is more than once re-
ferred to in the Act-and each al
ways in the same tcrms-rejection
hy the "majority of the Cabinet, "
new appointment, by "thc Cabinet. "
TO the learned judicial mind, it may
he quite clear why the stupid Legis-
lature, composed in great part of
lawyers, should so radically distin-
guish the duties of "the Cabinet, "
and a "majority of the Cabinet"
and yet mean the same thing by
both: especially in face of Article
40.

ROAD REFORM WANTED.

EDITOR BtLLETIN:- -
AS the time for the meeting of
the Legislature is drawing near, we
wish to suggest to the elected mem
bers to consider and investigate the
working of the road laws as passed
by the present Government in 1887.
If we could believe the Advertiser
and the election stumpers of the
Reform party, it would seem that
never has the country seen such
good roads, and that the road boards
are just the thing. If we listen on
the other side to the taxpayers living
outside Honolulu, we hear a different
story. We learn that most of the
boards only watch the interests of
the members, who mostly are plan
tation managers, improve the roads
over which the plantation carts
travel, and neglect the other roads
in shameful manner. We find that
the salaries paid for overseers, etc.,
far exceed anything ever paid under
the Gibson regime, and in several
places we hear about internal quar-
rels and disagreements in the boards.
1t is to be hoped that the coming
Legislature will 90 back to the
former system and have one road
supervisor in chief for each island,
and let hih! control and lay out the
work to he done, and besides he the
treasurer of the money to be en-
pended on roads. If the roads un-
der the former Government were in
q bad condition, the fault was to be
found in Honolulu, where the road
moneys were illegally spent, and not
in the system of managing the road
department, which was very COM
plete and worked well.
The way the road boards carry on
without the slightest regard to the
law of 1887 is worthy of comment.
Section of the said law prescribcs
that the meetings of the board shall
take place in the courthouse of tho
district and be public, and that at
these meetings "locality and me-
thod of labor and amounts of money
to be expended" shall be decided
upon, and suggestions in regard Il
work to be done shall be received
from any taxpayer resident of th'
district. We have yet to !clrn il
what district on the island of Mau
this section has been complied with
| The Road Board in MakawaO con
sisls only of two members, who, 1t il
understood, are in permanent stat
of disagreement, but still no thir(
party is appointed to complete th
board. In WaiIuku heavy expense
are being incurred without the pub
lie being given chance to investi
gate if these expenses are incurred
| judiciously, or eventually make sug
gestions, which might prove benc
fit. The board in WaiIuku, by til,
way, consists of three members, o
which the two during all business
hours are strictly confined to thei
offices, while the third, who receives
salary from the Government o
$4,000 year, should, to judge from
the size of the salary, have enough
to do to earn it without being both
cred by road work and everything
pertaining thereto. Too many bosse
never work well. Let MS have on
head for the island and let him ap
point efficient men to be road super
visors in the different districts, AM
we are sure that the work will b
more substantial, cheaper, and les
dilletante than it is now. May tn
assembled wisdom to come hear ou
prayer. TAXPAYERS.

men should rally and prevent it by
force. Saturday afternoon the COM
