The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-07-18

The Constitution of the Repub-
lie is its supreme authority. 1t
binds everything--the Executive,
Legislative, and Judicial depart
ments--iu its octopus-like arms By
it, and only by it, our Legislators
olive, move, aud have their being"
Anything contrary to it is invalid.
Article 63 OF that Constitution says:
"Each law shall embrace but one
subject which shall be expressed in
its title. The Title of Law amend
ing or repeating another law shall
refer to the section or chapter of the
law to be amended or repealed and
to the subject matter involved"
(The italics are ours.) Now by this
section the whole lands act, from it's
inception to its present state Of be-
ing "a thing of shreds and patches"
of amendments is invalid. 1t en-
braces more than one subject, its title
is defective, the act specifically re-
pealed is not repealed by chapter
aud section, and generally speaking
much retrospective legislation for
hidden by art. II OF Constitution in
regard to Grown land leases, govern
ment land leases and Olaa lands is
introduced, 1t may he urged that a
subservient Supreme Court will
interpret any act Of the supreme
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-07-18

As the bill now stands neither the
Government nor the public are Sc
cured The further the bill is in
vestigated the more it shows that
the object OF it is to obtain a fran
chise which, in the near future, may
be a marketable article, and which
may gain for its irresponsible pro-
moters fair compensation for
nothing.
When the business of the town
will warrant the establishment OF
the electric system the present
Tramway Company and local capi-
tallsts will provide it. Until then it
is Just as we'll to leave the matter in
abeyance, and not saddle the coun-
try with a Speculative" franchise
that can never be of any benefit to
the community, but will only act as
check on bona .fde future pro-
moters OF rapid transfer.
Gentlemen OF the Legislature,
take look at the color of the coin
of the Victoria Castle combination
before taking step which will be
irrevocable for at least two years,
and then ask the Bulletin to keep
on defending the scheme. Then it
will be defeated.

initiated as an entered apprentice and has
passed to the degree of fellowcraft in Oak
land Lodge No. 1885, F. and A. M, of which
organization his guardian was the founder
and for six or seven years worshipful
master.
On the 18th of May Wilcox will be raised
to the degree of Master Mason, which
has been the dream and ambition of his
life since he has been able to think for
himself.
Although no official steps have been
taken for anything more than the custom
airy formalities attending the ceremonies
of the Master Mason's degree, so much in
terest has been manifested in young Will
cox's antecedents and romantic careers
and his relations with the Masonic Grand
Lodge of the State have been so close for
nearly seventeen years past, that many of
the leading Freenlasons of the State are
likely to assemble in the Masonic Temple
at Oakland on the night of the 18th of
May, to witness the admission of the
Grand Lodges ward into full fellowship in
the fraternity. Past Grand Master N
Greene Curtis has signified his determin-
alton to make special trip from Sacra-
mento for the occasion. The grand master
and other grand officers and large dele
CATION of distinguished members of the
Grand Lodge will also be, informally, in
attendance, for the event is regarded as
one of the most interesting in the history
of Freemasonry in California.

LOYAL LEGION CONTEST,
Colonel WarfieId and Major
Hooper in the Field as
Rival Candidates.
ARMY OFFICERS TAKE A HAND.
The Regular Ticket Opposed-The
Palace Hotel to Be the Bat
tle-Field.

Gentle peace has long held sway in the
Camp of the Loyal Legion, commandery of
California Mr.. Smedberg, who has been
the recording angel of the bond, since the
legion was born, has never had anything
more exciting to note than the number of
gallant companions who sat down at the
banquet board at 8 P. NJ. and the number
that arose with the first flush of early
dawn True, his historical record attests
in the highest degree the staying quality
of the California companion whether he
feasts in Los Angeles or banquets in San
Francisco. With automatic regularity the
ticket proposed by the regular committee
has always received the registered sane
ton of the order, but nova change comes.
Peace departs and contention appears, and
here is an account of the transformation:
The regular nominating committee, con-
sisting of Past Commanders w. H.
Dimond, T. H. Goodman, A. G. Halves,
W. o. Gould, S. W. Backus and c. Mason
Kline, recently met and nominated First
Lieutenant Richard Henry Warfeld United
States Volunteers, for commander. The
work of the committee did not give uni
versal satisfaction by any means, and
hence the opposition placed in the field
commander. Brevet Major Willard B.
Hooper, United States Volunteers. Circu-
lar No. Z. from the headquarters of the
commandry, announced the following as
sustaining the candidacy of Major
Hooper:
William NJ. Graham, George H. Hendell,
L. S. Rabbit, Evan Miles, Thomas Nc
Gregor, W. R. Parnell, William Hawley,
C. A. Sumner, John Lynch, s. Hoffman,
R. q. Johnson, G. H. Powers, C. G. Strong,
L. Kempff, F. B. Upham, W. F. McNutt,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-01

P. w. Ames, George G. Perkins, William
Alvord, E.. Woodwork, NJ. Judah, Will
liam Norris, and many others.
The rival candidates are hotel-keepers.
The regular nominee commands at the
massive caravansery on Bush street.-the
California Hotel-and Major Hooper di-
reefs the destinies of the far-famed Occi-
dental Hotel, on Montgomery street. The
legion knows OF JOY in both the establish
ments; so, no matter how warm the fight
may be waged, none will invoke a plague
on both the houses. But for obvious pur
poses of strict neutrality the annual meet
ing and election will take place according
to the order at the Maple room of the
Palace Hotel, May 15 at 8 Pm.
There surely will be great rally of the
legion. Voters will come from Sacra-
mento, Oakland, San Jose, Los Angeles
and San Diego, for the choice of compan-
ions must be registered at the annual
meeting. There can be no voting by proxy.
While veterans of the Union army who
did not hold rank as commissioned Off
GERS are not eligible to membership in the
Loyal Legion, all honorably discharged
soldiers are entitled to belong to the Grand
Army of the Republic. Both Warfield and
Hooper are members of the organization;
and the former is past department COM
| mander and past senior International COM
mander, with steady eye on the position
| Oh COuHlanUer-lIl-CnleI OF the Granu Army.
Many time it has been said at national
encampments by the great delegations
from New York and Pennsylvania that
California could get the highest honor that
| the order can bestow if Pacific Coast
comrades could unite on one man. When
Colonel Smedberg's star seemed to be in
| the ascendant the Warfeld influence was
withheld. When Colonel Warfield seemed
to be ready to grasp the prize the Smed-
! berg following declined to assist him. 1t
is in the natural order of things that the
contest in the Loyal Legion will extend to
the Grand Army. The United States army
officers are also taking deep interest in
| the forthcoming election. They had hoped
that Colonel Shafter of the First United
States Infantry, the present senior vice
commander, would have received the
| honor of a nomination to compensate in
some measure for his turning down as an
aspirant for brigadier-general in the regu-
lar army, but they were disappointed.
| The names of prominent United States
army officers on Major Hvoper's call attest
the fact that he will get strong support
from that quarter. The election promises
to be the most interesting ever held in the
patriotic circles of California. The contest
will warm up from this time until the
eventful evening OF May 10.
