POPULARf INSTITUTIONS.

Honolulu is Justly proud of the
many various institutions that -four
ish in her midst; be they for educa-
tional purposes, for physical devel-
opment, for amusements and recrea-
tons, or for whatever purposes they
are organized; all are popular for
their own special advantages. An
institution differing somewhat from
the above, but none the less popular;
one offering greater advantages to
its many members; one that is not
confined to the city limits, but which
spreads all over the islands; an in
stitution that, as soon as its doors
were opened, was besieged by multi
tudes anxious to join; and which is
daily growing more popular with all
classes, is the II. F. W1CHMAN WATCH
CLUB. The unbounded success of
these clubs in the few months since
they sprang into existence, has as
tonished even the skeptical into the
belief that there was something
worth joining after all. Just the
putting away of a small part OF
your spare cash, brings you, in q
| few short months, something worth
having and having joined for. An
other thing not generally known by
the uninitiated, is the fact that il
you already possess good watch
you are at liberty to select anything
desired of the same value. Is there
anything offering greater advan
tages than the H. f. WICHMAN
WATCH CLUB? dow

part, like a great deal of the work
of the recent session, based more
upon personal dislike of his antag-
onist than on the real merits of the
case. The plea that it would be
only fair to Her Majesty to give
her the opportunity of showing
her policy and power by allowing
her the interval between now and
the next session to rule by a Cab
met of her own choosing is simply
a revert to the slough from which
we escaped not without difficulty
and imminent danger in 1887.
The other correspondents are, in
the main, in accord with the sound
est sense of the thinking public,
though as we have shown Great
Britain does not afford any really
suitable precedent, nor indeed does
the history of Hawaii itself, though
industriously and carefully set
forth by Donald, for the simple
reason that all guidance from
events which took place under the
Constitution of Kamehameha Y.
becomes misleading in the presence
of that of 1887, or as the writer
well puts it, taking our own Con-
stitutional evolution into account,
the question arises as to whether
this is not the acceptable time to
make a new and sensible precedent. u

Secretary WindOm's Dying Ad-
mOnitiOnS.

The last utterances of Secretary
Window says the Chicago Tribune,
were on the subject of free coin
agn of silver. His literally dying
words were those of the wise King
of Israel, He that loveth silver
shall not be satisfied with silver"
They form the finishing touches in
the vivid sketch of the dire results
that would follow the adoption of
the suicidal policy urged upon the
nation by it's worst enemies-the
silverites. He told his audience
that the passage of the law would
invite all the owners of silver
throughout the world to exchange
371f grains of it, worth about SO
cents, for 1922 grains of pure gold,
which is worth 100 cents every
where. He drew the following
picture of the results that would
| ensue:
The stock of full legal-tender
silver in Europe amounts to 81, 101,-
100000, and of this amount the
Banks of France, Germany, Aus.
tria- Hungary, the Netherlands and
Belgium holds S429, 966,665 A
large part of these vast stocks Of
silver would be ready for transfer
to us, at once, and swift steamers
would be employed to deliver it to
the Treasury in order that with
the proceeds the owners might buy
gold exchange on Europe before
our stock of gold should be ex
hausted. Would your own people
await the arrival of these silver
argosies from Europe before act
ing? Not unless the Yankee has
lost his quick sense of danger and
forgotten his cunning, and bank
depositors, trust companies anG
holders of United States notes and
gold certificates would instantly
lock up all the gold at comma nc
and then join the panic inspired
procession to the Treasury, each
and all anxious to be in time te
grasp the golden prize before it il
too late"
Probably before the swiftest
ocean greyhound could land it's sill
yer cargo at New York the las
gold dollar within reach would bt

boxes and In the vaults of safe
deposit companies to be brought
out only by high premium for ex
portation. This sudden retirement
of $500, 100000 of gold, with the
accompanying panic would cause
contraction and commercial disas
ter unparalleled in human expert
ence, and our country would al
once step down to the silver basis
and silver dollars would sink tt
their bullion value"

THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.

1t is with great interest that
many have watched the arguments
on the question of the day, the
question between the Queen and
the Cabinet, as set forth by the
various correspondents who have,
in the pages of the ADVERTISER or
Bulletin attempted by abstract
reasoning, or by deduction from
supposed historical parallels, ex-
pressed their opinions on the mer-
its of the case.
The first to come forward in
print and over his own name was
Mr.. l.. A. ThurstoD, in a powerful
letter published in these columns.
Though We agree on the whole
with Mr.. Thurston's conclusions,
we cannot hold altogether with his
line of arguments, nor do we think
his illustrations, as drawn from
the laws and customs of other coun-
tries, to be apt or suitable for the
purpose of his contention.
The construction, the functions
and the relative positions towards
one another of the President, Vice
President and Senators, or Cabinet
of the United States, or of either
or all to the Legislative Assemblies,
bear so very remote an analogy to
the scheme propounded in the Ha-
waiIan Constitution as to be prac-
cally worthless, not only as she'd
ding any light on the question, but
of assisting to form a judgment as
to the proper course to be pursued
in Hawaii at this juncture. For the
same reasons, the appeal to German
practice or principle may be put
aside. The reference to Great
Britain as to a similar Constitu-
tional Monarchy is less practical
than appears at first sight, because
the Constitution of Great Britain
is unwritten, and mainly ascertain
able only by appeal to judgments
and precedents, while that of Hawaii
is formally drawn document, and
supplies, as yet, no available pre-
cedent, though we are now in the
effort to provide one.
Moreover, the crown of Great
Britain is not the mere ornamental
appendage Mr.. Thurston seems to
think it to be. We agree, however
with that gentleman in the opinion
that to state that any, or if any
three, all royal commissions are in
validated by the demise of the
Crown, is simply absurd. Nothing
of the kind appears in the Consti.
tuition, and that which Is not plain
ly expressed in the text thereof
may not be imported into it by any
self.constituted interpreter.
Another point in which the ana.
logy with Great Britain fails is the
non-contlnuous sitting of the Ha.
waiian Legislature. Failing spe.
cial session, this country is liable
to be ruled for eighteen months a,
stretch by either an unpopular
Ministry, or by an interruptions
Monarch, or by one of these by the
help of the other, as we have seer
not long ago.
Of E. N. N. it may be said thai
his arguments are for the mos

He Fell an Easy Victim.

A group of young fellows sat around a
couple OF adjoining tables in an uptown

the conversation, one of them said to
another:

We're arguing over the last time we met"

the first speaker, willingly, was the

''Why, that is simple enough, - returned
the third man, gratitied at the opportunity
to show his linguistic accomplishments.
''It's w hat will you have?'''
''Beeri beer! beer! beer!' came in rat
tling chorus from all the company, who
accepted this Involuntary invitation to
drink with such a startling suddenness
and unanimity as convinced the third
man that he was the victim of practical
joke which it would be useless to resent.

Another Such Trial.

Ever hear how Tootles rode john

day, says Figaro.
I told him l had not and he thereupon
cleared his throat and launched into the
following:

Innocent critter, he was Why,

at Rattler's, an he told me he could ride

Johnson was a great joker. am he jest
nagged foot on to ride that sorrel bronco.
We'll, sir, mebbe you won't believe it,
but they had TO tear down the barn
around that bronco To get him out am
then it took every able bodied man in
SiIytoWn to put bride on him. All the
while they were gettin' the critter ready,
Tootles was steadying himself against the
barn. At last Johnson said, All aboard,

But you bet he wasn't petritied by q

quick we couldn't see him. Then he
jumped in the air bout fifteen feet an
come down stiff legged, kerbang! After
that there was pause of about two sec
onds, when the bronco started all ways to
once, an left Toot everywhere. The last
we see of that bronco he was skedaddlin'
over the prairie like all possessed, an we
commenced picking up Tootles and put
tim him together. When we had got
enough OF him in one pile to talk, he
said:
Wh-wh-where am I?'
''We told him.
Wh-wh- what did he do?'
1--WE couldn't tell what the bronco did,
cause he Gid it SO quick we couldn't see
him.
Say, Johnson, was you ever shook up
by an earthquake?'
