CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS.

We are suffering IN this country
from lack of smoothness in the
working Of our Constitutional sys-
tenn. There is nothing remarkable
in that. The institutions are new
in a double sense. They are un-
tried here, and they present a COM
bination not known elsewhere. Mr..
Brice in his famous book on Amer
lea calls attention to our frame of
government as presenting a new
combination OF features derived
from England and America.
Why would it not be good plan
to have the Legislature elect a
Prime who would then proceed
to form a Cabinet. The advantage
of this plan would be that it W ould
insure pretty effectually the har.
mony and unity of Cabinet action
which is necessary to the success
full working of the system. OF
course it would still be possible for
an nnprincipled demagogue to set
at naught the will Of his colleagues,
and .play it alone but such con-
tingency would certainly be much

THE ELELE'S ATTITUDE.

In connection with the matter of
claiming candidates, who are indie
pendent or hostile, species of APP
preparation with which the Reform
party has been charged, it is inter-
esting to note what was lately the
attitude of the Elele towards
Messrs. Baker and Nawahi. During
the election these two men were
claimed as orthodox candidates of
the National Reform party. Yet
only a few months before, in the
Elele of October 10, 1889, these
same men are expressly repudiated,
and electors are councilled not to
vote for them:
'sNow in conclusion let us say to
our Hawaiian people at Hilo, elect
other men besides Mr.. Baker and
Mr.. Nawahi. We would like to
know anyhow, what organization
of the people asks Baker and Ma
wahi to run and represent it? Are
they not self-constituted candidates?
We have had too many of their
kind in our Legislature heretofore.
Only pledged candidates to the
principles Of the Hawaiian Political
Association should be elected and
not such men as Messrs. Baker and
NaWahi."

Probably it would require con-
stitutional amendment to make the
change in the form proposed. But
the same thing might be accom-
plished perhaps in another way.
The Legislature,might designate by
vote the person whom they wish
to form a ministry. Such a vote
would not of itself make the Eerson
SO designated a minister. But the
King would probably make the
appointment in accordance with
the expressed will of the Legisla-
ture. He would probably be bound
to do so, because although the con-
stitution requires by intendment
the King to govern with such a
Cabinet only as the majority of the
Legislature approve.
i The effect of all constitutions
provisions making the tenure O
office of a ministry dependent upol
a vote Of confidence, is virtually tx
vest the appointment of minister
, i'm the Legislature. It is SO in Eng
land and by analogy should be hell
so here. What we suggest is sim
ply deinitement fact out of
matter OF legal intendment, and b,
so doing contribute to the ha1
mony and smoothness of constitu
tional arrangements. Struggle
. between the different branches {
;. government are deplorable enoug
even when each confines itse
within the bounds prescribed to
: by law. When these are ovel
stepped, the situation becomes il
r tolerable and we find ourselves
a state of revolution.
