the country,

Article AZ of the Constitution
reads as follows:
Art. AZ. The Legislature has full
power and authority to amend the
Constitution as hereinafter pro-
vided; and from time to time to
make all manner of wholesome
laws, not repugnant to the Consti-
tuition.
Is a law establishing an i'm
mensely powerful gambling corpor-
alton in a vest pocket kingdom
like Hawaii, wholesome }" law?
Gambling is recognized all over
the civilized world as vice. 1t
would be ridiculous to compare
the carefully regulated and hon
estly administered lotteries of Ger
many, Objectionable as they are,
to such an organization as the
louisiana lottery, or to such a one
as would be established here. Is
it wholesome" to place side by
side with the Government a private
gambling corporation which would
be more powerful, because it would
have a larger revenue than the
State itself? Lotteries were ex-
PEELED from England long ago. The
moral sentiment of the American
people has just condemned to
death the Louisiana Lottery as an
enemy, not alone to private morals, |
not alone to the sobriety, honesty |
and prosperity of the population,
but to the independence and safety |
of the State. It seems to US that a
law licensing a corporation which
will, beyond question, imperil the
of the Government,
is very far from being wholesome"
If Her Majesty signs the bill, the
question of its constitutionality will |
probably be brought before the
Supreme Court at an early date.
VIII the Queen sign the Lottery
bill? The veto is her personal
Drerogative, as the Supreme Court
mas interpreted the Constitution.
It was intended to be exercised
only on occasions of great moment,
when the State is threatened by a
serious peril. She has, however,
already made use of it in trivial
Instance. She cannot sign the bill
low without making herself
,arty to the dishonor which the
legislature yesterday brought
lpon the nation. 1t will be in
eresting to observe what stand
Ter Majesty, who is, we believe, a
Christian and church
member, will take upon the mo-
nentous issue before her.

a THRIFTY SET.
Arrest of a Young Thief and
His Pals.

For some time complaints have
been made by merchants of petty
thefts which had been made in
their stores, and although a strict
watch had been kept the thief
could not be detected. Captain A.
S. Mahaulu arrested three native
boys on Jan. 9ah the guilty par
ties, and it was afterwards discov-
cred that they are the right ones.
The eldest of the three is named
Kalauao and he is charged with
larceny, while the other two boys
will be held as witnesses. The
two boys say that they did not
commit any thefts and only acted
as lookouts for their companion.
The first place they robbed was
Dwight's cigar store on Fort street,
when Kalauao stole $28 in coin
and four plugs Of tobacco. The
place was forced open with file
and q piece of iron.
This robbery occurred about a
month ago and since then the trio
have devoted their spare time to
various stores about town which
they relieved of different articles.
Two visits were made to Water
houses Queen street store, and as
result they obtained football
and two pairs of rubber shoes.
Hoffschlaeger's store was robbed
of two boxes of padlocks; Thrum's
store furnished some trumpets,
two music boxes and velocipede.
Several other stores were also rob-
bed of articles all of which were
sold to a Japanese storekeeper on
Maunakea street.
The Japanese was arrested in
the afternoon and charged with
buying stolen property.
Kalauao, the young native boy
who was arrested the other day for
larceny, has been sent to the Re-
formatory School until he becomes
of age. One of his accomplices,
Momona, was sent to the same in
stitution for one year.

way for their feeting followers.
The lottery will bring in a few
diamond studded sports and
loafers, but its principal business
will be making loafers and sports
without the diamonds-of the
people who are here. The lottery
will not be the employer of labor,
for a few clerks will do its bust
ness, and a rented Office or two
will furnish all the room it wants.
The only way it will help the free
labcrer will be by making convict
labor plentiful doubtful service
to anyone. 1t will not increase the
wealth of the country, but diminish
it by breaking up the habits of
thrift and industry, which are the
foundation of all material pros
perlty. 1t will give the country
an unenviable notoriety abroad,
and damage its honor wherever it
is known. Finally, the establish

PICTURES ON CANVAS.
A Pleasing Entertainment at
KauMakapili Church.

Mr.. Taylor's organ concert last
Tuesday P. N. at the KaumakapiIi
Church was a pleasing innovation
in the entertainment line,, being a
combination programme in which
brilliant pictures were shown to
musical accompaniment. Her Ma
jesty's portrait was shown while
"Aloha De" was rendered OH the
organ, and then followed a varied
selection of views, embracing stat
uary, cloud effects, panorama
scenes, etc.
Greenland's Icy Mountain, "
was rendered very strikingly by a
choir, while a number of beautiful
colored views were shown appro-
priately illustrating each couplet.
The effect was striking,and the we'll
known hymn seemed to breathe
new meaning as the immense
pictures were thrown to view. The
singing was done by Misses Kula-
manu- Ward and Won Holt and
Messrs. Geo. Smithies and S. E. |
Pierce.
Miss Ward also rendered Home,
Sweet Home" in a very artistic
manner, which elected applause.
The audience was wei pleased with
the nature of the entertainment,
and at the close Mr.. C. Hedemann
a number of slides illus
trating Hawaiian scenes, which
we're gems of Photographic art. Mr..
Hedemann has developed a Won
1erful tact in the manufacture of
lantern slides, and his productions
are pronounced by critics equal to
any made. The large photo
'pticon was manipulated by that
gentleman in a skillful manner.

TUESDAY. JANUARY II, 1893.

WHAT has become of the Kala-
kaua monument fund, the collec-
ton of which aroused so much
zeal year and more ago? The
trustees have got about $4,000, and
there they have come to a full
stop. The subscribers of this
sum would like to see some
thing done with their money, and
as long as they cannot get it back,
perhaps the most sensible DISPOSE
ton of it would be to provide for a
bust, instead of waiting on the
Kathleen Mavourneen plan" for it
to grow to something more con-
siderable.

THE LOTTERY BILL
lSrom Daily, Jan. ~

kfIOu bdtlHs Jan. XII
The House passed yesterday the
worst bill which has been intro
duced this session. 1t passed a
bill granting a franchise to certain
individuals-some of them I'M
known, and some known unfavora-
bly-to establish a lottery in Ha-
waii. Just why the bill was
passed must be left to ones knowl-
edge of the persons who passed it.
There is not one sound argument
to be advanced in its favor. A
lottery will not bring money into
the country, but take it out. What
is received from abroad will go out
again as prizes and profits, together
with half of all it can suck out of
the earnings of Hawaiians. 1t will
not bring population; lottery
does not do that. We must have
gambling tables if we want to at

der and suicide to make

LEGISLATIVE EXTRAS.

Another of the petty thief"
resolutions by which the members
Of the House are in the habit of
converting to their own use small
articles of Government property
has passed the Legislature, this
time by majority of one. The
subject of larceny in the present
instance is the Compiled Laws
(would not the Penal Code have
been the most sensible p, on
which the assembled wisdom of
the State has been feeding itself
fat for the past seven months. The
laws of the land are something
with which every good citizen
should be familiar, so that the mo-
tives of the Legislature, in making
this misappropriation, are as COM
mendable as their ways of doing it
are dark and vain. Their conduct
reminds one of the theologue who
stole copy of Thomas Kempis'
" Imitation of Christ"

they are, overloaded with amend
ments and conditions as the bill is,
and unconstitutional as the whole
measure may be, the promoters will
probably be able to do nothing
with their law even if the Queen
signs it, and the Court upholds it.
The whole thing will probably be
speedily buried in an ignominious
oblivion.

So much for the Lottery Bill on
its theoretical side. From the
practical point of view, we rejoice
to say that the men who passed it
have done more damage to their
own reputations-if they we're cap
able of any further damage-than
they have TO anyone else. The
grantees of the franchise are, as
far as known, irresponsible persons,
without any financial backing,
who have pushed the bill as
speculative enterprise, and who
pay chiefly in fine words and
windy promises. ImpecuniOus as

This matter, however, has a side
which is serious. The practice of
voting oneself all sorts of little per-
quisites, law books and other "good
things to have" is none the less a
vice because it is small one. The
remuneration of members of the
House is fixed by law. 1t is, or
has been, $3.50 for representatives.
Extras" are not provided for.
1t is proper that the ex-
penses of the Legislature in
clude such things as are required
to carry on the business of the
House in a proper manner. 1t
should not include anything else.
These petty extensions of the scope
of the appropriation are unworthy
of men of honor. Legislators
should consider themselves custodi-
ans of the public funds, and should
be as precise and conscientious in
their administration as any private
trustee in the management of the
property entrusted to his charge.
The cost Of forty or fifty volumes of
the Compiled Lawsis not perhaps a
matter Of any great magnitude,
but it is typical Of other expendi-
lures of like nature, which in the
end represent q considerable sum.
1t is too late for the present Legis-
lature to institute a reform in this
matter. tits not too late for the
members to repent and determine
to turn over 3 new leaf when they
come back prepared to shed around
them the rays of a newly-flled
lamp of wisdom in 1894.

H. Wescott of Detroit, supervising in
spector of steam vessels of the Eighth

Panama, Feb. 6. - There has been q
serious riot at Bogota, which lasted for
two days. 1t is said that 100 men were
wounded. The riots are in no sense
political. The trouble grew out OF the
publication Of an article in the news
papers by Il professor in a local Jesuit
college, alleging widespread Ignorance
among the laboring classes. The arti-
sans rose en- masse and a mob of about
400 gathered about the house of Gutter
rez, stoned the building and broke the
windows and doors. The police remon-
stratcd with the rioters, but they were
driven away. They returned with rein
forcemcnts and Il collision occurred, in
which shots were exchanged. The po-
lice were victorious. Another fight oc-
CURED later in the day, but the rioters
were dispersed. Everything was quiet
the next morning, but at 5 o'clock in
the evening the w%orkingmen gathered by
thousands in San Victoranio square, Las
Cruces ward and in the public market.
They o%verpowered the police and for
a while were in full possession of the
city. Newspaper offices were sacked and
q general assault was commenced on the
police barracks. Tho government called
out the military, and after a sharp fight
the moi was dispersed. The capitol is
still in n state of siege, although it is
officially announced that quiet has been
restored.

WHAT THEY THINK OF IT.

TON.
The Members Of the Senate and
House Give Their Opinions
The Annexation Idea ! .
Not Exceedingly
Popular.
Wlll we or WIN We Not.

New York. Feb. THE Washington
correspondent of the Herald has made
a careful poll of the senate and house
upon the questions: "Shall Hawaii be
III rexedy" 'Shall the United States es-
tnblish a protectorate over those ISL
ands?"
The poll of the senate is unusually
large. eighty-three out of lightweight
members of that body having been seen.
Five senators are out of the city. OF
the other eighty-three. three are against
annexation and do not look with any
favor upon Il protectorate. Twenty are
decidedly in favor of annexation and
very generally agree that a protectorate
does not go far enough. Thirty-fve
prefer a p~rotectorate and twenty-five re-
fused to place themselves on record at
this time because they had not yet had
an opportunity to study the question. In
nearly every instance III which senators
objected to expressing themselves, they
expressed the belief that something
should be done to prevent any other coun-
try from getting control of the Hawaiian
islands.
The poll of the house was taken on
the question of annexation, as this is the
only question on which that body would
b. called upon to pass Judgment. Eighty
three representatives favor. forty-six are
against it and seventy-seven are nom
commital. Nearly all of the forty-six
representatives who refused to place
themselves on record agree that some ac-
ton should be taken.

Eau Claire. Wis, Special, Feb. Gin re-
gard to the funeral Of the late Thomas Tar
rant, which was conducted by the Masons,
Rev. DR.. Degnan, a priest of st. Patrick's
church, to-day published n card, in which he
said this of Worshipful Master Cotton,
Of Lodge No. 112:
"Mr. Tarrant on Jan. "a. of his own free
Will and consent, renowned Masonry, be-
came a member Of the Catholic church and
received all the sacramcnts necessary to
prepare him to die as u good Catholic. He
could Ecver have been received into the
catholic church unless he denounced all al
legiance and connection with MasOns. After
Jan. "a | called almost daily to see Mr..
Tarrant, and he never rctracted his desire
of dying as Il Catholic. On the contrary,
be persevered In his original desire and wish
to die as n member of the Catholic church.
Yet, despite the expressed wishes Of the
good Mr.. Tarrant, Mr.. Cotton, Il leading
Mason. disrcspected the dead mans re-
quests; disrsgnrded the promises not to
bury Il Catholic; offered alluring bait and
pecuniary motives to intimidate relatives Of
the good Mr.. Tarrant; promised to pay the
funeral expenses, etc, and thus Cnwarrant-
eddy usurped the funeral rites OF a good
man that desired to be buried as q good
Catholic"
The matter has caused considerable agita-
ton. The Masons claim the last thing Mr..
Tarrant said before he died was that he
wanted the Masons to bury him, and that
he said it in his wife's presence to Mr.. Cot
ton.

To-day, while accompanied by his fifteen
year-old son, Powers arrested one Of the

New Lines Proposed.

Winnipeg, Special. Feb. Tt is an
nounced that the Canadian Pacific has
made arrangements for the construction
of a line from the main line at Revcl-
stoke, southwark along Arrow lakes to
the point of junction with the line run
ming from Columbia river to Nelson on
Kootenai lake. This new line is designed
to give all rail communication from the
main line to Nelson and intermediate
points. Nelson is at present the center
of trade for the Kootenai region. A well
authenticated report comes from the East
to build another line from Revelstoke
to the north of Kootenai lake, which is
intended in all probability to form the
connecting link between the proposed
road through Crows Nest pass and the
main line west of Selkirk range.
