This is not equivalent 10 saying thst
mankind origiustsd government and
legislation by uniting for this express
purpose. But il is equivalent 10 de-
nying thst the Republic Of Hawaii, as
constituted today, expresses the Gus
toms snd ussges Of the populsce OF to-
day. This is no longer 1.-THE Empire
OF the cslsbssh," snd pedigree is not
Identical with power" The sovereign
" of today is founded en- rights as
well SIS right, not on customs, however
venerable, nor uSSges, however sa-
creily regarded. Traditionslism is a
desd issue in both Church and Stste
in this nineteenth century. The
most sncient of cur grsndmothers
sslt-hoxes is useless piece OF ware
for the needs Of today, if il contains no
SALT, or il it is so clogged in this
moist tropical climate thst there Is no
satisfactory delivery when we need
salt for sslubrity or SSvoriness-
There is very little use in having
civil, political, personal snd religious
rights, without some power 10 insure
the free use Of such rights. This power
TO secure our rights is the aim snd
object, OF all laws, and laws sre not,
therefore, merely the expressions Of
social customs snd uSsges. The right
eousness of any governmental author-
ity does not depend upon the whims
of the populsce, but upon that govern
ment's securing in the fullest possible
degree the rights of those who live
under sny OF the different forms OF
government Forms vary with the w.
riouS conditions of time snd place and
Surroundings under which different
people live. But every government, 10
be legitimate, must conform TO the ulti-
mate rule of right. and therefore must
not be Incompetent nor iniquitous;
otherwise it is vicious and detestable
tyranny. Legality, mechanical and
>ervile, is conformity 10 existing out
ward rules and regulations; but 10y
atty, exubersnt and joyous, is intelli-
gent and enthusiastic devotion to the
legitimate authority, that in its exer-
else of sovereignty, secures for Us the
free use of our political rights. The
in Hawaii nei is not s
matter OF custom and usage, but an
firm, liberal administra-
ton of affairs, 10 secure their inslien-
able rights. II.

needed. The wiring was done under
contract by the Hawaiian Electric
Company in three days time. The
current is furnished by the Govern

TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.

We may say that 25,oco books have
been read as a result of the travelling
libraries. They have been good books
and nave left their mark on a multitude
of minds These libraries have every
where promoted an interest in good
reading, and have already led to the es-
Establishment of some important local II
braries. They have been cordially re-
ceived and are more In demand now thar
ever before. As a public Investment they
have fully vindicated the wisdom of
their projectors and have proved worthy
of the continued interest Of the State.
The system admits, toe, of indefinite en-
largement. Special subject Libraries
may be multiplied asafast IS they are
braries can keep pace with the publica-
ton of good books. The State Of New
York can well afford this offer OF books
to her citizens, which is at once generous
and, in the highest sense, profitable; and
the plan is confidently comfnendea TO the
consideration Of other States.-January
