white men were alone In the
councils of State. What many
desire TO see are two houses; the
lower open TO the suffrage OF all
who can read and write the
English language; the upper
representing the party which
won the revolution and is mainly
concerned in and responsible for
the material welfare OF the
Islands; and If necessary the
addition of "a legislative status to
the executive council, so that
the two highest out OF what
would really be three houses
could initiate legislation which
the lower house, as a mere means
of mischief, coercion as bull
doing should refuse to set
afoot. "
Just fancy; the Advisory Coun-
Gil, in which neighbor Smith Is
endeavoring to force seat, Is to
remain permanent and self
elective. The Hawaiian. with
every English speaking and
writing foreigner in the group is
to have a vote for a house
which could not apparently in
tate legislation and also as far
as we can make out from
the last sentence (which is OBJ
cure to say the least of it, they
couldn't even reject if the Elk
ecutive and Advisory Councils
chose to say so.
! What a pictured Liberty
what deeds are done In thy name''
Think of it. A revolution aided
by foreign forces the ostensible
object of which was to dethrone
a Queen, who it was alleged had
proposed to make new constitu-
ton by which she acquired the
right to nominate for life twenty
members presumably residents
of long standing and high esteem
in the community out of a house
of 4S, the remainder being elected
by the people. And now in hel
place is to be set up Is perpetual
kings who chose their own sue
cessors and who are unable to be
deposed, dismissed or interfered
with by the people, and who are
to have the right of initiating
vetoing, controlling and carrying
out all legislation. And, by
the very terms of his own
paper and the resolutions Of
the Annexation Club and the
American League, may be made
up of strangers of less than 6
years residence in the commu
nifty with no other qualification!
than a record of unrest and up
setting and a vocabulary o
vituperation. And this is whar
the patriots of Jan. 18th, laid
down their lives for and care
ready to do it again to quote
their own scribe.
The colossal cheek of the
insignificant gun-backed minority
never displayed itself to such an
avalanche of contempt as must
follow this latest exhibition o.
self-seeking and tyrannical
