THE PRESIDENT.

The position of President of the
is one of honor, it is
also a thankless and perplexing
place; particularly with such
Legislature as the present, where
parties are pretty evenly divided,
and a ruling by the Chair often
gives an important advantage
to one side Or the other 1t then
becomes of the greatest Importance
for the President to occupy
wholly impartial and judicial posi-
ton. Such is the character and
position by long precedent of the
Speaker in the House of Commons.
1t is also true of the President of
the Senate in the United States, but
the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives is more often partizan.
Mr.. Walker has, in several in
stances, so ruled during the pre-
sent session as to bring upon him
the charge of partnership. In
ruling out an amendment to the
vote of want of confidence on Fri
day, by which the vote Of censure
would have been directed to the
Attorney-Gencral alone, he again
laid himself open to such charge,
which was indeed freely made. OF
course his party wanted to GUST the
Ministers-cause or no cause. The
ruling was the more fragrant, as
the Minister of the Interior showed
by abundance of precedent that the
Legislature may censure and so
cause the removal Of one only OF
the Cabinet. Indeed, the case OF
Mr.. Grigg, about 1862, in our own
Legislative annals furnishes an
| instance. Mr.. Walkers subse-
-~nAn4 -rnlinn- that-the Ministers
fragrant and indefensible, and is
only explainable on the theory that
on account of the yells and cheers
of the crowd behind the rail, he
lost his senses. However he after.
wards withdrew this ruling. In
that case the main question was not
censure of Minister, but on a point
of order simply.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL.
FIRST notice.

FIRST NOTICE.
A notice of the report of the
Auditor General has been delayed
by pressure of other matter. One
of the first statements made in the
report is that "no statement made
by me in this report is intended
directly or Indirectly to reflect
upon or impugn the honest inten-
tons of the Ministry to administer
their public duties as honest serv-
ants of His Majesty the King and
the people, or their personal integ-
rity." The report thereafter pro-
ceeds to lmpugn the conduct of the
Minister of the Interior very
sharply. We might make the
same remark of the Auditor-G Gen
eral, for no doubt Mr.. George J.
Ross is an honest man and intends
to perform his duty in a strict
manner, but we believe now, as we
have done for number of years
past, that he is mistaken as to the
scope of his powers and the inten-
ton of the Audit Act. There can
be no question that the claim of the
Auditor General to an absolute
control over the matter of expendi-
lures is directly opposed to the
principle of responsibility which
the Ministers assume toward the
people. If the principles for which
the Auditor contends were carried
out and were strictly lawful. then
the Auditor might we'll make all
payments from the Government
Treasury and draw all drafts, leav-
ing nothing whatever for the Min
listers to do except to recommend.
The structures made by him upon
the use made by the Interior De-
partment of the so-called "contin-
gent funds voted by the Legisla-
ture of 1888 we cannot agree with.
The letter of the Minister of the
Interior published in the supple
ment upon page sc to 80 explains
without any question, the object of
the Legislature IN passing certain
amounts as contingent funds. The
explanation made by the Minister
Of the Interior is correct. The

THE SITUATION.

All thinking persons must feel
that the present situation in Ha-
wall Is critical. The Ministry has
been compelled to resign, not from
any error on their part, for none
has been shown, and the reports so
far made are creditable and among
the most valuable ever presented
to the Legislature; but on account
of the unconstitutional action of
the Attorney General, the OPPOSE
ton have been able to get a plaus-
lble cause of action. The opportu-
nifty was given to the House to
condemn his action, and it refused
to do so by tie, which means no
vote. This, however, demon
strated the difficulty of the position
of the remainder of the Cabinet,
and they resigned.
The defeat of the Government,
by force of the principles of gov
eminent which became established
IN this country by the revolution
of 1887, now places the responsl-
bility of governing upon the Ma
tional Reform Party. This prln-
ciple we accept, it is correct; 1T is
what we have urged and fought for
many a long year. There is no
lack of good material in the ranks
of that party, and Ministry ought
to have been forthcoming before
now. Why has none been secured!
We do not propose to enter into
street rumor and talk, but the we'll
known fact that the King is OPP
posed to the principles of the Con-
st;tution/ and would, if he could,
regain his lost personal power, is
an element of danger and one
which causes distrust. 1t is an
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-06-17

open secret that he refuses to re-
cognlze the principle that Minis
try must be formed from the
majority, and claims the preroga-
tive OF nominating whomsoever he
pleascs. 1t would be revolutionary
for the sovereign of England to
take such q course, and it is one
which the House of Commons
would not for a moment brook.
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE COUNTRY
LIES WITH THE LEGISLATURE. Is
there intelligent patriotism sufiici-
ent then to recognize and sustain
that right? We hope SO, and we
believe that if the necessity arises
the better elements of both parties
will unite to maintain and uphold
this position.

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible FOX the
statements made. or opinions expressed by our
correspondents

Mr.. EDITOR: In your report
of my speech of Friday evening
June ID, upon the Resolution OF
want of confidence, you quote me
as saying: II was not in favor OF
the resolution but now it has come"
Now, l wish to say that it Is not
a correct version of my remarks.
What / did say was THAT | was IN
favor of the resolution, but believed
it was the duty of the Ministry to
resign, because their conduct In the
House was disgrace TO the coun-
try and this assembly, and that
their conduct in the Treaty matter
was not fair to the public, and
further that the principle involved
in the amendment was dearer to
me than the future of the Attorney
General.
You further quote me as saying
that 81 see no reason for the reso.
luton of want of confidence.
Whereas, l did say that my party
was elected to the House to FIND
cause for the removal of the Cab
met, and that / believed 1t was
necessary at this stage Of affairs fol
the peace and safety of the country
that the Cabinet should be removed
but that the first action of the Leg
islature should be directed to estab
fishing precedent that minority
| of the Cabinet shall not rule.
Yours respectfully,
A. Rosa,
Member elect for Waialua. Oahu.

A LETTER from Eep. Rosa in

Queer Things That We Do.

Lien Sang Of Hong Kong dined at the
Continental the other evening, says the
Philadelphia Press. lie is a Chinese
gentleman of fifty years, a retired mer-
chant, and is making visit to this coun-
try, where his house has branches Mr..
Sang left on the train for New York
where he will be entertained by Wong
Chin Foo, the brilliant Young Chinese
author and Journalist. Mr.. Sang was
impressed with Philadelphis, which he
says has fewer foreign influences than
either San Francisco or Chicago.
He said through an Interpreter that
America is very funny country, because
here we do things exactly opposite to the
best form in civilized China. We shake
hands with each other; the Chinaman
shakes hands with himself. We uncover
the head as mark of respect; the Chi
nese gallants not only keep their hats on,
but when wishing to be very polite re-
move their shoes. We shave our faces
they their heads and eyebrows. We cut
our finger nails; they consider it aristo-
cratic to let them grow from five inches
to foot in length. The Chinamau whit
ems his shoes, buries his dead on the sur
face of the earth and demands that his
wine be scalding hot when served. With
us black clothing is a sign of mourning !;
in China white garments indicate the loss
of friends.

but old NEE fly kites, walk ON stills, play

instead of their hands. In China the

usually on the first door, sleeping up
stairs, but the Chinaman reverses this or

but as soon as they get sick the pay
stops Here men kill their enemies. A
Chinaman gets revenge by killing him
