Governor Lewelling OF Kansas rises
from his sick bed to infict upon the
public a proclamation that for boldness
and absurdity relegates his previous
antics completely to the rear. The
cause of this spontaneous outburst is the
sudden discovery that under the munich
pal ordinances Of many Of the cities of
Kansas vagrancy is a m~isdemeanor
punishable with fine or Imprisonment
and that under stress of hard times the
number of Migrants apprehended under
these laws is at present or the increase.
These laws, according to the interpre-
tation put upon them by Governor
Lewelling, are designed to make poverty
a crime. They are, in his view, uncon-
stitutional and. consequently. he advises
the metropolitan police commissioners
throughout Kansas to pay no more at
tention to their execution.
1t is certainly one of the misfortunos
of the times that a greater number of
laborers han usual are out of employ
ment. Mere lack Of employment, how
ever, does not make a man a vagrant,
ard it is well known to all who have had
anything to do with police court matters
that judges everywhere are extremely
reluctant to pass sentence of vagrancy
upon any II who manifests the slight
est disposition to earn his own living.
The Migrants who are sent to the rock
pile or ordered out of town have, as a
rule, little claim to sympathy from hon
est worklngmen. They think it easier
to beg or steal than to work, and seldom
interpose objections to moving on. Va
grancy laws are older than the constitu-
ton and in no way contravene it. They
are an absolute necessity to the we'll
being of densely populated cities. The
strict enforcement of such laws at. par
ticular times may be of doubtful wisdom,
and no doubt is inadSisable when labor
ing men are hard pressed for work, but
their constitutionality is scarcely to he
questioned.
What Governor Lewelling sets him
self up to do in his proclamation is moth
ing more than to determine for himself
that any law which he dislikes is uncon-
stitutional and hence not to be enforced.
! We have regularly established courts to
pass upon such questions and every law
must be regarded as constitutional until
duly set aside by abcourt of competent
jurisdiction or repealed by the body
which enacted it. Governor Lewelling
attempts to exercise the dispensing
power which cost Charles L. of England
his head. He %pretends to set aside laws
without reference to the Legislature.
If he succeeds in this he may be ex-
pected to set aside other laws equally
obnoxious to him. Governor Lewelling
should be taught to obey the laws and
the constitution which he has sworn to
uphold.

THERE ought to DE no question as to
the position OF the populist members of
congress upon the Wilson tariff bill.
The populist national platform of 1892
demanded that the governments reve-
nues be raised by a graduated income
tax. To be consistent with their plat
form they must insist upon a graduated
income tax and aothing else, but. with
the president opposed to this, all hopes
Of its attainment at' the hands of the

THERE may be no way to compel Gov
ernor Altgeld to honor a requisition
made upon him by the governor of Ne
braska for the surrender of a fugitive
charged with a violation of the criminal
code of this state. But that does not
make his action in refusing to comply
with such requisition any more legal or
valid. The federal constitution says
that any person charged with crime who
shall flee from justice and be found in
another state ''shall on demand of
the executive authority of the state
from which he fled be delivered up
to be removed to the state having
jurisdiction of the crime" 1t does
not authorize any governor to refuse to
honor a requisition because he thinks
the criminal prosecution has been insti-
gated for the purpose Of collecting a
debt. This is the old question that
underlaid the fugitive slave law contro-
versy. According to the letter of the
constitution the motive involved has
nothing to do with the duty of surren-
dering fugitives. The governor of Illi-
nois is merely relying on the fact that
there is no method at hand to force him
to do his duty in the matter.

lmposs,biity OF Amending thec constitution

In times of peace the federal constitution
is practically unamendable. Since the day
the first TO the tenth amendments were sent
to the states more than 100 Joint resolutions
for amendment have been offered. Yet but
seven have ever Ueen sent TO the states, and
OF these seven three we're the fruits of the
civil war. That amendment would indeed
be badly wanted which, after securing two
thirds of the votes of both houses of con-
gress and the approval of the president, Sc
cured a majority of the vote in each branch
of the Legislature of thirty-three states and
the approval Of thirty.three governors.

ABOUT BOAT RACES.
A Correspondent Wants TO Know

MR. EDITOR: Are we going
to have any more boat-races E?
That is a question to be decided.
The local clubs seem to be doing
nothing at present. Itwas remarked
by some before the Healanis won the
championship, that if the Healanis
beat the Myrtles there would be
much more interest taken in boating
In Honolulu. But the case has not
proved go; it has rather gone the
other way.
If / am correct, the Healanis
have not had crew out for at least
two months, nor the Myrtles either
until week ago, although | be-
ieve the cause for the Myrtles not
having a crew in training was on
.ccount of having their boats re-
aired. The Healanis hold the
championship, and they are sub
lect to a challenge at any time
from the Myrtles. Brace up,
Myrtles. The 4th of July promises
to be big day here, and boat
raso Tor the championship of '93
would f.dd much to the enjoyment
Of the holiday.

MORE VANDALISM.
Cutting Trees on Punchbowl
Planted by Ka1akaua.

Mr.. EDITOR: | drove around
the Punchbowl road Saturday with
some friends, and was distressed
to find some men at work cutting
down the trees of the grove within
the crater. The idea does not
seem to be to simply thin out the
trees, but to destroy the grove en-
tirely, for all the trees have been
cut down over nearly or quite half
the ground already. 1t was one of
the best acts of Kalakaua's reign
that he caused that grove to be
planted, and even assisted himself,
and the thrifty algeroba and mon
key-pod trees in that otherwise
barren spot have always been de-
light to ourselves and the friends
whom we have taken over that
interesting drive. The wood is
piled carefully by the roadside as
If ready to be sold or carted away.
Is this vandalism done by the
order of the government, or is it a
private enterprise? In either case |
feel sure that all who have enjoyed
drive into the Punchbowl ,and the
singularly delightful views on
every side will protest with me
against the destruction of this
grove, which by comparatively lit
tie labor might make delightful |
park and picnic ground, but which
will be ruined for such purposes in |
few days, if the demolition is not
at once stopped.

men named Fahey and Bowling, of town,

statement of the circumstances which led to
the arrest has not been given. Officer
Flaherty stated last night "Oticer Dough-
erty and myself stood at the corner Of Oak
and Main streets on the morning Of July
9TH. i was 2:4O o'clock. We heard door
getting tampered with and had an idea
somebody was trying to get into a house. In
trying to locate the sound we heard glass
break and saw two men on South Main street.
Dougherty followed them down and l waited
to see which way they would turn. They
turned east on Cherry street and l turned
east ON Oak street. l went out Oak street as
far as White and then south and out to the
corner Of Cherry and Main streets. Dough
erty had both men in charge. When
Dougherty arrested Bowling he was in the
cellar way of the Brennan building, where
the laundry is, and Fahey was standing on
the corner"
