cast for one delegate, or one for
each delegate, or otherwise. The
word otherwise here merely refers
to the other possible ways in which
the votes may be distributed, OF
which there are obviously num-
Der. For instance, one candidate
may have three, another two, and a
third one; two may have three
apiece, etc.
If the fraction of one-fifth is per-
mitted, may we vote in eighths,
sixteenths and thirty-seconds, or
are some fractions allowed and
others forbidden? IF electors can
in perfect good faith ballot in
fifths, it is obvious that they can
in the same good faith sing their
political preferences in thirds and
sixths. What will the poor in
spectors, do?
If the trainers of the law had In
tended to introduce SO doubtful
novelty as fractional voting, they
would have expressed it in unmis-
taxable terms.
Whatever conclusion be reached,
however, as to the legality of this
method of voting, there can be no
doubt that there is room for diff
ference of opinion. In point of
fact the bar is divided on the sub
ject. Under the circumstances it
seems very unwise to cast any bal
lots which, even if not rejected by
the inspectors, may lead to the
subsequent rejection of the dele
gate, and may involve more annoy
ing consequences than can now be
soreseen.

CORRESPONDENCE.
A Live Issue Of the Political Sit:
uati0n.

MIR. EDITOR:-One of the live issues
of the present political ferment is the
question of citizenship. 1t seems evil
dent enough that the call of the Pro-
| visional Government to come to the
| polls and vote for delegates to Con-
stitutionaI Convention confers no
right of citizenship, and by parity of
reasoning annuls no such rights. 1t
is simply an invitation to be one of a
big committee, representing certain
interests, to formulate new constitu-
ton. According to the accepted YER
dict of the Senate Committee, the
Hawaiian Government has never
been dissolved. 1t was temporarily
disorganized by the Queens violation
of her constitutional oath. By her
own act she disowned and discarded
her prerogatives as the sovereign of
the Hawaiian kingdom. The domi-
nant power in the community elected
new head, and with President Dole
as the chief executive and a few SIM
liar changes, the Hawaiian. Govern
ment went on as before.
The dominant power, de factO, if not
de jure, now proposes, in pursuance
of its sovereign power, to modify the
provisions of the constitution of 1877
IN other respects besides this of the
title and tenure of the chief executive.
The status of citizenship may be
altered by the new constitution or it
may not. 1t would seem to
stand to reason that under that
constitution no one ought to have
rights of citizenship who does not
make this his country, in whose pros
perity and administration he takes a
part personally and unreservedly.
Government is not merely organized
to give protection to life and property.
1t can do that to everyone without
thereby comforting rights of citizen
ship. But, as your editorial columns
have frequently shown, government is
organized to promote the welfare and
prosperity of the community as
whole. 1t is this aspect of govern |
ment that is awakening increasing |
public interest in the States. In |
Chicago, as in many other American |
cities, a society has been formed |
called the "Civic Federation of Chi |
cago." 1t has a Central Council of |
one hundred, an Executive Committee |
of fourteen, and auxiliary declarations |
in the various wards of the city. There |
are to be six departments of work
social, educational, municipal, philan-
thrOphic, industrial, moral reform. |
We need such an organization quite |
as much as we do a political machine.

A FAIR CHALLENGE.

Where in the confines of Hawaii is
a single woman, respected and be-
loved contemporary, who has ever
asked for the ballot or ever expects
to ?-[Star.
This is a perfectly fair challenge.
Women cannot expect to have
their battles won for them by
others while they preserve a mas
terly inactivity themselves. At
the same time the implication in
this inquiry that there are no
women here who want the ballot is
absurd, and furnishes fresh proof
of the medieval darkness in which
our contemporaries intelligence
upon this SUBJECTS swallowed
up. And yet until women wake
up and assert themselves in earn
est, the path of their progress will
continue to be numbered by just
such stale and trivial arguments
as these which have been served
up nightly in the Star.
A correspondent in this issue
distills the essential truth on
the woman suffrage question
In the sentence-"Women should
vote if they want to-" The
ballot stands for duty as
well as a right, and it is perhaps
not wise to impose its grave re-
sponsibilities upon women until
they are in some measure prepared
for them. At the same time it
should not be forgotten that the
best education for the ballot is the
ballot itself. You cannot learn to
swim in the air.
The cause of woman suffrage has |
passed out of the theoretical sphere.
People-and newspapers-who do
not know this, are limping gener-
alton behind the age, and they will
be doing and dreaming in the 10th
century long after the light of the
10Th is upon US. Women want to
vote just as fast as they learn to
think, and they are doing a great
Zeal of thinking nowadays.

A DANGEROUS PLAN.

The proposition made to voters
to subdivide their votes at today's
election, casting one and one-ffth
votes for each of the five regular
candidates of the American Union
party is exceedingly ill-timed, and
electors are earnestly advised not
to put the legality of their ballots
into question by any such proce-
dure.
The section which is supposed
to authorize the subdivision of
votes into minute parts is as fol-
lows:
Section 5. Each voter for delegates
may cast as many votes as there are
delegates TO be elected from the divis-
ion in which he resides, and may cast
one vote for each delegate, or cast
them all for one delegate, or may
otherwise divide his votes among the
several delegates.
The phrase, ''or may otherwise
divide his votes" it is claimed
authorizes the voting of units,
proper fractions, improper fractions,
mixed numbers, and presumably
according to every possible sub
division of discrete quantity known
to arithmeticians.
We do not believe that the lam
guage of the law justifes any such
procedure. Webster's dictionary
recognizes nine different meanings
of the word divide" A law is not
necessarily ambiguous because it
does not specify in which of it's
possible senses word is used. The
context may max this clear. In
the present instance the word
divide plainly means distribute, or
apportion. 1t does not mean sep
arate, cut or sunder one thing
into parts, but apportion or dis
tribute several things. The phrase
"Divide these apples," does not
mean divide Apple A, divide Apple
b, etc. To reason thus is to COM
NIT fallacy named and pointed
out In the elementary schoolbooks
of logic.
The context of Section 5 makes
the meaning of the words in dis.
pute very clear. The section
states that all the votes may be

Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

The attention of Planter.
and Agents is called to the
following letter from Mr.
JOHN A. SooTT, Manager oil
the Hilo Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAINAKU, Hno, HAWAII,
January 22d, 1S94.}
Hon. VIM G. IRWIN, HONOLULU, ii. L.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours OF IL .
10Th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg to say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more 1 see of
its capabilities, the better pleased l am
will repay the original outlay in short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the Intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
Sc, 1f fo,, I.sI
on the mill, as only one man IS required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from 4 to
B per cent.
The economical use Of steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemen
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
L will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine at work to fully appre--
ciate its capabilities.
l remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.
