LEGISLATIVE RECESS.

After the announcement of the
new Cabinet Tuesday, the House
adjourned for two weeks. During
me recess 1t is expected that the new
Ministry VIII formulate such altera-
ti0ns and changes of policy as
they may contemplate. An cleo
fion viii also be ordered to fill
tks vacancy caused by the ap-
pointment of Hon. John Cum
minis TO the Ministry. Some ques-
ton has been made as to the neces-
sity OF such election as there is
nothing TO prevent a member of the
House from holding a seat as Minis
ter Such was the case on several
occasions under the old Constitu-
ton But the present Constitution
seems 10 require a Legislature com
posed Of forty-eight elective mem
bsrs and four Ministers.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-06-24

Ministry shall hold office subject to
removal by vote of want of con-
fidedce. This is precisely the same
as in England. 1t is the full Eng
lish system of Cabinet response
bility, or to put 1T without cere-
mony, government by a virtual
committee of the House, commits
stoned to carry out the policy of
the majority of that body. 1t
binds the King to select Il Ministry
which shall represent the wishes of
the majority of the House. This
does not necessarily mean Minis
try drawn from actual members of
the dominant party, though of course
in the long run it amounts to that,
here as well as in England. There
is nothing TO hinder King Kala-
kaua from making a Ministry en-
tirely out of members of the Re-
form party, if the House would
support such a Ministry. There
would be nothing to prevent Queen
Victoria from making her Cabinet
out of orthodox Conservatives, If a
Liberal House should desire such a
Ministry.
1t seems very clear. on careful
review of the facts, that-our insti
buttons cannot even be understood,
without reference to English and
American presidents, and that we
cannot close our eyes to those pre-
cedents without wilfully warping
the course of our own constitu-
tional development.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-06-24
THE PRESIDENT.

The position of President of the
Legislature is one of honor, it is
also 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 a
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 craftsmanship. 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
Acknowledgement alone, he again
laid himself open to such a 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.. Gregg, about 1862, in our own
Legislative annals furnishes an
instance. Mr.. Walkers subse-
quent ruling that the Ministers
could not vote was even more
fragrant and indefensibIe, 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 a Minister, but on point
of order simply.

PROFITABLE FARMING.

The Atlanta Journal mentions MIR.
Jas. B. Hunnicutt, OF Coweta county,
as one OF the champion farmers of
Georgia, and the figures produced seem
to warrant the designation. Mr.. Hun
nicutt farms on the intensive plan, and
last year his clear profits from 50 acres
OF land worked with two mules were
1000. The figures are as follows 500
bushels of corn, % bales of cotton, 700
bushels of oats, 50 bushels of wheat, so
bushels Of barley, 500 bushels of ruta-
baga turnips, u tons of clover hay, and
little of everything else. For instance,
from half acre be made 2O5 gallons of
ribbon cane syrup, sold $50 worth of
cane and put up 5000 stalks for seed.
On FIVE acres 10 cotton he used four
tons Of commercial fertilizer and gath
cred seven bales (slthough the crop was
considerably Injured by hail Storm
and made clear profit of sI22-land
and mule, rent and wear of machinery
being counted ia the expenses. Alto
gether he had thirty acres of cotton.
He gathered tho 800 bushels of corn
from seven acres of thin land, heavily
fertilized with compost. For the last
seven years Mr.. Hunnicutt has farmed
on the intensive syitem, and during
that time he has never made less than
forty bushels of corn 10 the acre. This
is certainly good showing for a two
mule farm. Col Thomas Williams, Of
ElmOre county, Ala, also comes for
ward as a successful farmer. On 500
acres Of land he raised last year 500
bales of cotton His other crops were
in like proportion, and he raised ''hog
and hOminy" enough for home con-
sumption aud had SOME to sell.

the present Constitution, and there
are Republicans precisely like
them. There are Democrats and
Republicans alike who would in
sert a Prohibition clause; and 9th
ers who would favor Woman's

would permit. Just what some
Democrats and some Republicans

be an endless task to enumerate.
To find a candidate to suit every

sibility, for no one mind, however
fertile and massive, can precOn-
ceive the ideas that more than a

brought together.
Then let the voter decide what
he wants, and select the candidate
who nearest approaches those
wants? For the average voter,
that would be still another impos-
sibility. When did the average
voter read the Constitution, and
what would he know about much

BATON ROUGE, La, April 26-The
steamer Dakotah has reached here from
the overlooked districts and put off five
or six hundred people and large guam
tity of stock. The people put of were
mostly negroes, who found no difficulty
in getting employment. Several plan
ters from the interior were here for the
purpose of getting labor for their plan
tations. The Dakotah Thursday went
up as far as New Texas Landing, rescu-
ing people and stock along the
route. The boat transported about
1,500 people to this side,
and could have brought many more,
but the people said the river was falling,
and they preferred to stay and take the
chances in Pointe Coupee Captain
Mitchell said the break in OLD Morganza
at o'clock Thursday evening was six
hundred feet wide, while the break in
Grand Levee just below was one thou
sand feet wide and washing rapidly, the
soil being of a sandy nature. As these
leyees are three miles in length, only
comparatively small portion of these
great works have been destroyed.
The boat rescued every living
thing from a pig to the dogs and
chickens A refugee was seen on
our streets yesterday with dog tied at
one end Of rope and rooster at the
other. This was his only property. He
carried them alternately in his arms to
give them a rest. The Dakotah re-
manned here until p. m. loading sacks
above town to carry to the Martinez
crevasse. At this hour she left, carry
ing down fifteen thousand sacks of

tonight to carry more sacks to the Gre

four days of incessant raining the sun

river fell three inches in the past TWEEN
ty-four hours, which is the first perma-
nent fall we have had since the begin
ming Of the high water, three months
ago. The same fall was recorded on the
back-water of the town and country, and
since morning the fall has been fully
two inches. Portions of the streets
which have been covered for twenty-four
days are being uncovered by the reced-
ing waters, which are watched with de-
light by the citizens. 1t is safe to say
that this fall will be followed by still
greater one in the next twenty-four

ABOUT BEES.
BY JOHN s. REFS.

A colony or hive Of bees in their normal
condition in the month of May is composed
of one queen, or mother bee, few drones,
or male bees, probably from fifty to three
hundred, and from forty to sixty thousand
working bees. The queen is much larger than
the workers, with long slender body and
short wings, lays all the eggs for the colony,
and is often capable of laying as many as
three thousand eggs within twenty-four
hours. She lives to an average age Of three
years, when she is superseded by one of her
daughters who comes on the scene at the
proper time. The queen has a long sting
which curves under, is barbless, and is new
er used to sting anything except rival
queen. The writer has had them in his
hands hundreds of times.
The drone, or male bee, is about the size
of the queen, but very differently shaped.
He is short and thick, wings as long as the
body, very large compound eyes, no honey
lounge or honey sack like workers, no sting
and very noisy when he flies, cannot secrete
wax or gather pollen, and seems to be very
much in the way many times. The life of
the drone is truly in the hands of his COM
panions, the workers. They are usually
Matched in May and stung to death by the
worker in July, owing to length of the
honey flow.
A colony without queen mot in nor
NAL condition. will allow the drones to live
until they, the workers become extinct. The
general appearance of the worker bee and
its singing qualities is so familiar to the
reader that she will not need much discrip-
ton. We say she because you must now
know the worker is an undeveloPed female,
1.-THE queen being the full developmentl
The workers do all the work, both in and
out of the hive. The indoor work consists
Of, in part, secreting wax, building comb,
feeding the larva bee with chyme, evaporat-
ing, or ripening honey, sc. This work is
performed by the young bees the first three
weeks after they hatch. The next three
weeks is spent in active field work
such as gathering honey and pollen Princi-
Pally, and singing the barefoot boy occa-
siOnally. So you see the average life of the
worker bee during honey gathering season
is not more than six weeks at best. They
literally wear their wings out and thereby
lose their power Of locomotion, when they
drop by the waYside, as it were, and never
reach home.
Beeswax or comb, is fatty matter, and
Is secreted by the bees and comes from be-
tween the segments of underside of the
body in small soft scales, in appearance like
a minute fish scale. Pollen as we know is
the formulating powder of plants much like
flour made by grinding peas, and is
gathered from the flowers by the worker
bees at the same time they gather the hon.
ey, the honey is taken into the honey sack
not the stomach, and the pollen grains
are transferred from the three forked tongue
to the pollen baskets or pockets on their
hind legs, and to see these heavily laden
little insects wading in home would remind
one of some Of our good old mountain
Methodist preachers riding up with well
filled saddle bags" hanging across the old
bay mare.-WinCheSter Sun.

BALTIMORE, April 2S.-Baltimore was
bombarded yesterday afternoon by hail
of a size and destructive power never
before seen in this city. The hail was
not like the snow-coated hail, but was
plain hard ice, frozen through and
through, clear as crystal, and solid as a
rock. 1t went through thick panes of
glass as If they were tissue paper, and
the amount Of damage done by it can
only be figured up when all the broken
panes are counted and the glass settlers
bills are paid. The loss will run up

edges as a steel blade. Hens eggs were

them were as large as mans fist. The
storm came from the west, was local in
its character, and swept to the east with
a rattle like heavy musketry, frighten-

perfect Niagara of water, with hail
stones-or rather chunks of ice-weigh-

Almost IN an instant the streets were
rivers, the pavements were flooded
from two to three inches
deep, and a man who remained on
the streets was almost in danger of los
ing his life. The heavy chunks of hail
drove the horses wild. Those that pull
the street-cars became uncontrollable,
and the drivers were compelled to let
them have their own way and to run at
their free will The people in the cars
became panic-stricken, and many Of them
crouched trembling on the floor Of the
cars, praying for rescue from the ele-
ments while the drivers lodged the aer-
ial missiles the best they could. All over
the city the damage was heavy. No
glass that met the full force of the hail

THE MISSISSIPPI PROBLEM.

Captain feathers, anOted steam
boatman, is in Washington, and
has given a Congressional Com
mittee his theory of the present
great rise in the Mississippi. He
says the letters placed at the mouth
by Captain Eads have caused the
bed Of the river to rise, and as a
natural consequence the water
rises in proportion. He says S. S.
Prentiss was correct when he said
that "GOd Almighty turned the
Mississippi loose and didn't put
anybody in control of it." Capt.
feathers favors the scheme of
Capt. C0wden to cut a canal from
a point on the river ten miles be-
low New Orleans across the cOun-
try to Lake BOrgne, which has an
outlet into the Gulf
That the Mississippi sadly needs
relief there can be no sort of doubt,
and we know of no man more IA
miliar with the Father of Waters
than Capt. feathers. Seven years
ago he insisted On our writing for
the COurier-JOurnal an article con
demning the Eads letters, and said
the day would come in the near
future when the wisdom of his
views would be demonstrated by
the increased high waters.
As canals in Louisiana cost COM
paratively little, Congress would
do well to make the appropriation.
