Henderson and Heyer are in command.
Major Hume has spent part of the time in

The condition of MIR. and Mrs. Geo. Rus

slightly improved. The mystery concern
ing the affair has not cleared up and proba-

there scenes to be a prep0nderance in
favor of the idea that third party did the
cutting. Sympathy is expressed on all
sides for Elijah Russell, who is terribly
grieved by the awful affair.
Z. q. Traver has force of eight men
working in the cooper shop of the Owosso

pork barrels. Many of the small dealers
around the state have neglected to get in a
supply of material and will probably have
difficulty in filling orders for barrels If, as
appearances now indicate, the apple trade
calls for large number. Mr.. Traver has
material on hand sufficient to turn out be-
tween ter.and twenty thousand apple bar
rels.

north to south, and at the time Of Ka-
hike, who is also known as Kahikolu-
amea, that this large tract Of land has
been divided into islands.
An old tradition started here, that
this 'Kakiko' by command of God he
had his wife and children packed"
upon large floating log called Koni-
konihia, and they were carried upon
the bosom of the seas, and after a while
they were landed upon Mauna Kea.
In one mele, certain lands known to
the old Hawaiians were connected with

any kind of public work involving 9
large outlay. The hope is expressed
however, that Congress will not resort
to "cheese-paring expedients which will
/ cripple the public service, and in the
end add to the cost of the Government"
Our Hawaiian legislators stand in dan
ger of making use of chesse-paring ex-
pedients, but in this case it is not the
public works that are TO be locked.
Some of the members seem to have be-
come so thoroughly enthused with
thoughts of public Improvements that
they are blind to the needs of the de-
partments where the responsibility of
carrying out the work rests. The de-
partments of the Government, as at
present conducted, are not wasting pub
lie money; in fact they are guarding it
well. The question is not how few men
it is possible for the departments to get
along with, but with what number the
work can be carried on to the best ad-
vantage. The people of this country |
cannot afford to cripple the department
Of public instruction, or the department
Of public works. These two, of all 9TH
ers, are closely associated with national
progress, and should receive ample pro-
vision in the appropriations Make
to have the work well
lone before branching out into new
schemes.

The Portland Oregonian says that
Mckinley is going to be nominated and
elected President, whether some Re-
publicans like it or not. Evidently the
editors enthusiasm has run away with
him, although there is probably no
citizen of the United States better fitted
to become the chief executive of the
nation. If the campaign of 1896 follows
in the usual political rut, it is highly
probable that the name of the Repbli-
can candidate for President has not yet
been brought before the public.

Bishop Hendrix of the Methodist
Church, who, after a tour through the

the greatest living Asiatic," carried
the following message from the Chinese
statesman TO the American people:
Say to the American people for me, to
send over more men for the schools and
hospitals, and hope to be in position
to protect them" Ii is safe to say Ii
means well, notwithstanding he is not
always able to carry out his desires.

Although a Cuban resolution passed
both houses of Congress by overwhelm-
ing majorities, there seems to be a
good prospect that the joint resolution
will not be sent through with a rush.
The slight difference in wording of the
Senate and House resolutions bids fair
to make an opening for many of the
weakened politicians to escape the
respoasi 5ility of making an enemy of
Spain by holding to a technicality.

The Legislature will have an oppor-
tunity to act upon measures aimed at
the social evil' of Honolulu. This is
a matter that should be handled without
gloves, as it is today in condition to
be checked. If the present state of af-
fairs continues the city of Honolulu will
be placed in much the same situation as
many cities in Japan. 1t is to be hoped
that this civilized country has not
reached the point where it will allow
an evil to exist without turning a hand
to at least keep it within its present
bounds.

In the closing remarks a glowing
tribute is paid the Constitution of the
Republic. The author holds that Ha-
waii has intelligently prohted by the
constitutional experiences of other ma
lions, "and in several respects the con-
stitution, under which as the Republic
of Hawaii, she is today governed, is
an advance upon all existing constitu-
tions. She has solved the problem of

illusions to General Coxey in connec-
ton with the Portuguese demonstration
are entirely unwarranted. On the gen.
eral principle of Oriental aggression
there are few Anglo-Saxons or Eu-
ropeans that do not agree with the
Portuguese colony. The difference of
opinion is principally in the method of
handling the problem that is every day
becoming of more vital Importance to
this country.

A BAD PRECEDENT.

The right of petition to the Legisla
ture is the undoubted prerogative o
every one within the Republic, or o
any body of men within the Republic
The right of public meeting is equal!
undoubted. This is conferred by every
constitution; it is one of the solid pill.
lars upon which all freedom rests.
But it is by no means a right of a
body of men to march to the Legisla-
ture and by an apparent display of nu-
merical force to attempt to influence
the action of the Representative and
Senators. In this a distinct mistake
was made by the leaders of the Portu-
guese in this city, and an equal mistake
was made by the Executive in allowing
SO large body of men to march into the
Executive grounds. That the people
who were in the procession were per-
fectly orderly and well disposed has
nothing to do with the matter. The
whole hinges upon the fact of some
hundreds of men coming into the
grounds of the Executive building. An
English act prohibits "the presentation
of petition by more than two persons"
under penalty of f1o0.
If the Portuguese have had conceded
them the right of marching into the
grounds of the Executive building some
hundreds strong, there is no reason why
the japanese should not claim similar
right, and march into the same spot
some thousands strong. Should they do
so, who could deny that such an as
semblage was a distinct menace to the
members of the two houses?
The proper procedure in such cases
is to hold mass meeting, pass resolu-
tons, draw up a petition, and appoint
a committee to wait upon some member
who would present the petition to the
House. Arson, in his work on the Law
and Custom of the Constitution" says:
Every petition must be presented to
the House by a member" There can be
no direct appeal to the House from a
committee of outsiders 1t is most i'm
portant that the representatives of the
people should be completely unhamper-
I'd by outside influence, and the various
privileges" enjoyed by members are
mainly framed for this purpose.
In the method of procedure the af-
air of Wednesday was distinctly bad
precedent. We do not believe that any
'ne gave the subject the thought that
he gravity of the precedent merited,
md we feel assured that had it been
,ointed out to the leaders of the Portu-
,uese, they would never have advised
he action that was taken. In view of
he advantage that might be taken of
his precedent, by class of people not
70 kindly disposed as the Portuguese
olony, it would be well for the Legis-
ature to pass law that would prevent ,
'uch assemblages going within the
rounds of the Executive building.

HAWAIIAN CONSTITUTIONS RI
VIEWED.

, IL " Ell.
, One of the recent publications of tn
Johns Hopkins Press in the series O
university studies in Historical and Pc
litical Science is a treatise on the Con
stitutional History of Hawai-" writer
by Prof. Henry E. Chambers. In the
introduction the author gives a briet
sketch of the discovery of these islands
and the conditions found by the early
settlers. He speaks of the interminglins
of whalers and seamen with the native
population, and the seeds of antipatny
sown by this class of men against the
better class of whites, the bona fide
home seekers who came n later day
and endeavored TO establish a higher
state of morality anG civilization.
OF the missionaries who first came to
the islands in 1920 the author says:
Their advent worked great change.
They stood as mediators between an
tagonistic elements, thwarting the
baser instincts of such whites as were
criminally inclined, and foste- ng the
noble qualities of the more intelligent
of the natives. Their work still en-
dures. Hawaii is the bright particular
star in the galaxy of missionary enter
prise"
AS evidence of this fact, the large
proportion of the population enrolled
in the public schools, the postal saw
ings system, the postofices, large ex-
ports and imports, commercial, agri-
cultural and mercantile enterprises,
churches, colleges, schools, cities and
villages are noted.

United States for a legal adviser in |
drawing up the first constitution, Prof. |
Chambers believes the savage king Sc

well be copied by more enlightened |
Suppose, when it is determined by |
one Of our American States to adopt |
that the convention, before
the sovereign authority en-
trusted TO it, would send to Ann Arbor,
Princeton and Cambridge and procure
the maturest thoughts of those who
have mastered the problems of institu- /
ions, governmental control and func-
ions and administrative sciences, what i
results would follow"
The origin and growth of the first Ha-
yaiian constitution is noted as singu-
ar instance in modern constitution

ititutional liberty has been demanded

The author points out the leading
of the First Written Consti-
ution," the Organic acts of 1s45," the
Constitution of of 1854" the revolution
nd resulting constitution of 1887, and
inally the revolution of 1893, and the
constitution of the Republic.
The author calls attention to the fact

grievances against sthe Anglo-Saxon
