to the explorer a gold cRsket containing an id
dress from the Corporation Of London.

Constitutional Amendments.

Constitutional Amendments.
Mr.. EDITOR As there is a good
deal of loose talk in regard to a
constitutional convention, l beg
leave to offer few remarks on the
subject. In the first place, it is idle
to deny that the summoning of such
convention would be a revolu-
tionary act. The Constitution itself
prescribes the only constitutional
method in which it can he amended,
and any other method is revolution.
If a Legislature elected under the
constitution, and sworn to MAINTAIN
it, can violate its provisions, what
is the use of inserting such articles
into any constitution 4? What one
legislature does the next legislature
can undo, and we would in that
case be liable to have our funda-
mental law torn up and remodeled
every two years, The charter of
our liberties would then have no
more stability than an ordinary
statute law The ship of state
would be adrift on an unknown sea
of turmoil and confusion, to be
finally wrecked on the rocks of
anarchy.
1t is wisely ordained in all writ
ten constitutions that no change in
them can be carried through by
single legislature. This prevents
changes of such vital Importance
from being rushed through in a
period of popular excitement. 1t
gives a chance for sober second
thought. But this Is exactly what
the parties who are agltatlng the
subject do not want, 1t is part of
their plan to contrive the election
of their proposed convention in
such way as to throw the control
of it into the hands of class who
have nothing to lose. and who are
easily led by designing dema-
gogues. The Honolulu populace
must not assume that they are the
nation. The Partisan
Commune undertook to "run
France in 1870, but came to grief
in the attempt.

ITEMS FROM MAKAwELI, KAUAI.

Our correspondent recently went
over the line of the Hawaiian Sugar
Co.'s ditch and reports great pro
gress being made the last few months.
Since the completion of the wagon
road to the water head, the whole
force have been concentrated on the
ditch with telling effect.
A great deal of tunneling is being
done in preference to hanging fumes
to the perpendicular cliffs, as was
originally intended. Manager Walsh
stated that he could tunnel twenty
five feet inside and parallel to the
face of the cliff, at much less cost
than he could hang a fume to the
outside, with the additional advan-
tage of the tunnel requiring no
future attentions in the shape of re-
pairs, etc. This tunneling work is
in the hands of practical miners from
California, who unquestionably I'M
derstand their business.
The hydraulic rivetting machinery
commenced operations last week on
the forty-inch steel pipe and are do
ing splendid work. All the rivetting
on these water pipes is being done
with these rivetting machines. The
rivetting machinery, pipe and men
are from the Risdon Iron Works,
San Francisco, which is sufficient
guarantee of the success of this por-
ton of the work, as the Risdon
Works have made and laid more
wrought iron and steel pipe of large
diameter than any other firm in the
world, one order recently completed
required sixteen thousand tons of
iron plates. This pipe was thirty-six
inch diameter and was made and laid
in the ground, finished completely,
at the rate of 1000 feet per day.
