two sites that seemed to attract more at.
tention and draw out more comment than
others, were the Daggett farm and Dun.

the matter was dropped, but with the
coming of the robins and Spring fever the
subject was resurrected by Alderman

must makes it pay for industrious
and sober working men and farm
ers to come here, and when they
have come we must interest them
in the institutions of the country.
For reasons which are known to
everyone, the trainers of the Consti-
tuition have been compelled to
place rigid restrictions upon the
right of naturalization. 1t Is there
fore all the more important, as
Minister Smith said Tuesday, to
build upon the privilege of deniza-
ton, a judicious extension of which
to deserving persons will obviate
any hardships which would other
wise arise from the restrictions
upon naturalization.
1t must be conceded, however,
that the objections urged by Presi-
dent Dole and others against allow
ing denizens to vote have great
weight. Their is danger of unfair
discrimination, and the power
vested in the Executive is an es-
sentially irresponsible one, and
therefore liable to abuse.
We believe the difficulty here
can be met by granting the ballot
to denizens, adding, however, the
provision that the Legislature may
hereafter abridge this privilege.
This will bridge over the gulf be-
tween the present and such time
as naturalization treaties can be
negotiated.
As the Convention has adopted
the article, the matter is left in
such a shape that no alien can
and none can vote, except
those who obtain q certificate of
special service. This is certainly
Is it not also I'M
necessary?

French politician to aspire to the
Office it is difficult to comprehend.
The place has degenerated until
it has hardly the Importance of the
Office of Vice President Of the
United States. The case illustrates
the fact that institutions on paper
are very different thing from in
situations in practice. A new pO-
litical device may seem very at
tractive and very perfect until put
into practice, when for some mex
plicable reason it may utterly re-
fuse to work. Even the oldest and
best tried arrangements fail when
the conditions are new.
These reflections have a special
application TO the Constitution now
under consideration. 1t stands for
much thought, and for a great deal
OF ability. 1t contains, however,
several very promising devices, but
how they are going to work is
problem for any intelligence which
falls short of omniscience.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-06-22

The annual exhibition of Oahu
College is always an event of great
interest, involving as it does the
hopes of so many youths, and the
pride of SO many parents. Last
night was no exception to the rule,
and none of those accessories were
wanting which help to make an
occasion memorable. The mem
bers of the graduating class &C.
quilted themselves without excep-
ton in a manner which does them
the greatest credit. The ADVERTISER
has a good wish for all of them,
for those who go abroad for further
study and preparation, and for
those who take at once the serious
business of life.

DENIZENSHIP.

The article in the Constitution
which authorizes the issue of let
tiers of denizenship led to consider
able discussion in the Convention
yesterday, which resulted in a
compromise between the opposing
views. The article passed, but the
provision allowing denizens to vote
was stricken out.
No doubt there are objections to
the issue Of letters of denizenship,
but they are more than counter
balanced by the advantages. The
coat must be cut to fit the cloth
and a provision which would be USE
less and meaningless in the Amer
lean Constitution may be natural
and appropriate in Hawaii, where it
may answer to some irresistible
necessity. The proportion of
aliens to natives in a country ike
this must invariably be extremely
large. We look to an alien immi-
grafton as source of the best ele-
ments in our population. Such an
immigration will be essential to
the development of our free state.
1t is obvious therefore tina. ordin-
airy rules must be relaxed in order
to encourage the growth of an i'm
of the right sort. We
