MORE BANK.

Horner's Banking Bill occupied
the House all the morning on
Thursday, and. the consideration
will be resumed this morning. The
debate simply rethrashed the old
straw, and brought nothing to the
surface Minister Jones made a
short but scathing attack on the
measure, and every sentence con-
tanned one of those knock-down ar
guments which Noble Horner pro-
fesses to have gone up and down
the world in search of for couple
of generations. We question, by
the way, the sincerity of this quest,
for when the knock-down argu-
ment comes, Mr.. Horner lodges.
Noble Hind asked a very trouble
some question, and Mr.. Horner
lodged. Rep. Iosepa asked another
question of the same sort, and the
honorable introducer of the bill
lodges again.
The truth is that the Hon. Mr..
Horner's good faith-which is I'M
doubted-cannot supply him with
the answers to the knock-down ar
guments which he processes not to
see. How can an irredeemable
paper currency without any intrin-
sic value and without the promise
of the Government to pay behind
it-how can such a currency be
kept on a par with gold? 1t
cannot possibly be done, and it has
never been attempted without
drawing after it long chain of
disastrous consequences. One might
as well attempt to negotiate bills of
exchange without any signature.
There was never yet a Government
strong enough, wise enough or hon
est enough to inspire confidence in
paper which is irredeemable, not
merely for the moment, but for all
time. The problem of fiat money is
simply to induce people to give
value for that which has none
This will be possible when the con-
stitution of human nature has un-
dergone some fundamental altera.
ton. When it has, we advise Mr.
Horner to bring round his bill
again. And until this millenial
period, let it be postponed.

ton of the community including
many members of the bar, were
unable to come to the conclusions
reached by the Court. There is
no doubt that the veto as a per-
sonal prerogative of the sovereign
has no proper place in a system of
free representative government.
It's existence in Hawaii is dis
tinctIy anomalous, and the people
can and should do away with it by
an amendment to the Constitution.
Noble Horner asked the Cabinet
whether the bill under discussion
was vetoed by their advice, or not.
Rep. Kamauoha protested against
the question and it was not an
swered. To pretend that the in
quiry was not a proper one is SIM
ply absurd. Itconcerns the policy
and standing of the Cabinet, and
no question can possibly have a
better title to an answer. The re-
iected bill has been made the or
der Of the day for Tuesday, and an
answer. to this question should be
the first thing sought. We do not,
however, for a moment believe that
the Cabinet have been betrayed
into anything so impolitic and
dangerous as advising Her Majesty
to exercise upon a trivial occasion

THE VETO.

The Queen has vetoed the bill
fixing the hours of labor of Govern
ment employees. In our legisla-
tive report will be found the text
of the royal message.
We believe that this action will
be condemned by all who have the
cause of constitutional development
in Hawaii at heart. The exercise
of the veto power, as of every other
irresponsible power, should be re-
served for great emergencies, when
the course taken by the legislative
branch of the Kingdom is so revo-
lutionary or so fraught with danger
to the State that a temporary check
to the expression of the popular
will is the lesser evil. The veto
should never be used in cases of a
trivial nature.

New Crop Domestic Sugar.

The first new crop of Louisiana
sugar was received in New Orleans
on October l, a date rather earlier
than usual, and regarded as indi-
cative of a heavy yield. Reports
from New Orleans state that the
crop is believed to be heavy and
the largest ever gathered. The
planters have had favorable wea-
ther throughout. First receipts
were of very good quality for first
sugar, and brought 81 cents per
pound, which, with the 2 cents
bounty added, returns the grower

The right of the sovereign to use
the veto in the case of any bill
whatever, whether trivial or other
wise, with or without the advice
of her Cabinet. is in no way dis
puted. The Supreme Court has
settled the question. In England,
it is true, the prerogative has not
been exercised for $50 years, and
is virtually obsolete. But the case
of England does not in this in
stance present any analogy to that
of Hawaii, and there is nothing in
law or precedent on which to base
any contention against the full
right of the sovereign to make
such exercise of the veto power as
she may choose. It should not
however be forgotten that the pre-
