THIS MORNINGS SESSION.

THIS MORNINGS SESSION.
After the house came to order at 10 a
M, and the journal had been read, the
speaker handed down memorial from
the commissioners of Grant county pro
testing against the partition of that
municipality; and reciting that the bond
ed indebtedness exceeded the limit of the
Springer limitation act by $4,000; and
that while the taxes also exceeded the
limit it was impossible to defray the
running expenses of single county gov.
eminent.
On motion of Mr.. Montoya the memo.
rial was referred to the committee on
counties and county lines.
The speaker announced the committee
on arrangements for the Denver visit as
Messrs. Clancy, Hopewell and the speak.
or.
The special order, H. B. No. A, being
the general county bill, was taken up, and
the house resolved into committee of the
whole.
The amendments made when the bill
was last considered were read.
Mr.. Reads amendment, offered at the
previous hearing, changing the number
of people necessary to organize county
from 500 to 1900, and also changing the
words householders to tax payers, was
read.
Mr.. Meyers: "The gentleman from
Santa Fe seems to be cynical sort of a
un IN %hs,1 cohoo1
With the exemption lew in force, where
will you get 1900 tax payers? Take the
county of Eddy, take the county of San
Juan. Mr.. Bowman, the member, answers
me that there we're not one-third of 500
tax payers, yet Mr.. Read wants $500 tax
payers. Where would you get them? He
proposes by this amendment to practi-
cally kill this bill, and thus stop all prog
ress."
Mr.. Read: "The object of legislation
is the framing of just laws. I resent the
imputation of insincerity in Offering that
amendment. When I offered that amend
ment it was with the best Intentions; and
the father of the bill has accepted 1000
instead of 1900. If it is absurd, as the
gentleman seems to think, then why did
the father Of the bill accept 1,OOOP I ex-
pect to show in few days that there is
not county that is paying its current
expenses"
Mr.. Meyers: II desire to state that
Eddy did not have 500 inhabitants nor
Chaves 800; let alone the tax payers, and
yet they are the most prosperous and
progressive in the territory"
Mr.. Read: II say we can not afford to
create new county unless it is able to
support itself. Eddy county has tax
able value of $l,l6S, 4s4.53, and the tax
collected is S8,693.24. Out of this then
comes the share Of the territory"
Mr.. Barela: ~ claim that $8,693.24 is

VOICE FROM HAWAII.
Some Pointed Advice Given on
Revolutions.

Mr.. EDITOR: The course pursued
by the Provisional government has,
in most cases, been approved by the
people of the nation; hut there are in.
stances in their administration which
have not been marked by that wisdom
which the circumstances of the occa-
sion seem to demand. Hawaii furnish
es the first instance on record where a
eonqueror has put weapon in the
hands of the conquered which can be
used against himself.
In past times deposed sovereigns
were only too glad to escape with
their lives. Here, however, We see
extremes meet. Hawaii must, indeed,
be the paradise for deposed queens
when they can live in such luxury,
such regal state. such undoubted secu-
rity, and at the same time almost, if
not quite, set up rival government,
and, what is most strange, set it up at
the cost of the deposers We might
ransack the annals of the worlds his
tory in vain to find a parallel case;
and this spectacle leads one TO believe
our leaders are mere tyTos, novices
indeed in revolutionary tactics.
If this state Of things be long con-
tinued, the world will regard our
boosted revolution as farce-a thing
got up as q diversion for killing the
of our precarious and iso-
lated existence. In times of revOlu-
ton no half measures can avail. His
~alf- +hp+ IInY,,r,laY, lov-fv,rr
drawn the sword, threw away the
and never stopped until vic
tory was achieved. Moderation in
war has been termed weakness and
which has been proved the
world over; therefore there should be
no relenting, no faltering, no hating
or turning. What has been COM
menced must, at any cost, be brought
to a successful finish.
Most people think it is about time |
decisive was done. We !
have seen revolutions started with |
great vigor, but end in accomplishing |
The grievances that were |
o be redressed have been aggravated,
md, instead of great reforms, good /
government and prosperity, we have I
'eceived misrule, abuse of power and
'uin.
This present state of things must
.ome to an end, and we hope it may
,e done peaceably, for l have great
egard for the natives, and will at all /
lines seek and maintain their rights
nd liberties as stoutly as our own;
nut they must be reminded there will
e no more fooling, neither will ex-
Queen Liliuokalani ever again rule
yer US.

Hawaii, May l, 1898.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-05-16

the ballot system can prove satisfac-
tory in community that is divided
into masses that are in marked con-
trast both in natural ability, in tradi-
| tons, and in education, as TO the great
equities and moralities upon which
civilization is built up.
Are we, therefore, because attached
to free government, as we call il, and
believing in the ballot system, to re-
frain from doing our duty, our mani
fest and Christian duty, in the govern
ment and responsible care OF such
communities as we have indicated
above? This is a problem which
America especially must face, not only
here in little, though typical, Hawaii,
but probably in San Domingo and per
haps in Cuba; and more than all within
her own present boundaries, with Chi
nese, Japanese, and the future is yet
to show what other peoples of diverse
character, traditions and religions. To
rule such justly, beneficiently, firmly,
wisely, is the problem.
The other marked phase of modern
governments to be considered is that
power pertaining to the carrying on
of public works, and enterprises not
in the scope of private corporations
or of individual effort. The means
for doing this comes mainly from the
mOneyed and leading classes. II is
their money entrusted to government
organization. Logically here taxa
ton and representation go together.
Not only is the treasury, in this sense,
the property of the taxed, but the
same qualities that enable men to
manage rightly their own property fit
wisely the public property, provided
only that moral principle accompa-
mics the ability.
Our constitution of 1857 in its prop
erty qualification, which practically
doubled the vote of the class holding
above certain amount of property,
not only expressed a civil necessity,
but moral equity. 1t was right IN
that respect, and we should have the
of our convictions to say so.
1t is a significant and interesting
fact just at this present juncture, that
the movement in Belgium in favor of
universal suffrage, favors also the
plural vote of property holders, TO be
in power somewhat in pro-
portion TO the amount OF property.
This is even more pronounced than
our own proviso; perhaps too much
so.
Virtue and intelligence alone can
self government, and the
energy that creates property should
be acknowledged as a factor to be con-
sidered in the right and satisfactory
of the voting privilege.
A plebescite may seat in power the !
autoerat, and an infatuated |
may be as tyrannieal as a
Kaiser. Right is the essence of all |
government, and no amount of civil |
rights can sanction wrong.
