A Fatal Accident.

1t is our sad duty to chronicle the
death of Mr.. W. R. Eargle, which oc-
Cured Monday morning at his home
in the Fork. His demise was pecu-
iarly sad and distressing from the
fact that it was brought about by
having his arm caught in gin the
Friday before and fearfully lacerat-
ed. Mr.. Eargle was a quiet and
unpretitious man attending strictly
to his own business and leaving that
OF every one elses alone.

Death Of Mrs. Williams.

Mrs. Ed. Williams died at Hilton
Monday from an attack Of typhoid
fever. Everything that loving hearts
could suggest and tender hands
could perform was done to minister
to her wants and save her life, but
to no avail. The grim reaper claim
ed her for his own and gathered her
body into the garner of death while
her soul was ushed into the presence
of him who created it.

atty in this mystical theory of State
sovereignty? Some go further in their
CONGRATULATIONS, and are loud in their
denunciations of the injustice and ty-
ranny of society. In the case of the an
archists they plot to overthrow the So
cial system, which they hate, not indi-
vidual members of il, by bombs and
dynamite. Is there such an entity as
State sovereignty? What is the recog-
nized seat and manifestation of au-
thority?
The theory of democratic government
is that all legitimate authority springs
from and is exercised by the people
But who are meant by the people? The
suffrage, by which one function Of SOW
ereignty is supposed to be exercised, is
nowhere exercised by the people as a
whole. The suffrage is a privilege, not
a right Representation is a privilege,
and is not concurrent with the payment
OF taxes. Who grants these privileges?
What sovereign authority has conferred
them? In the last analysis it must be
conceded that it is no mere concept of
the imagination, but the dominant
power in any country that by virtue of
it's predominance makes it practicable
for those who WELD it to do as they
will All nations recognize this in rec
ogniZing government de facto. AS the
of the government is recog-
nized more and more, the display of
force is less and less necessary. Insti-
tutions, customs, laws, become the ex-
ponents of the sovereignty of the State.
The more complex this whole organ
ism becomes, the wider the scope of its
the more difficult it becomes
to set it aside or to overthrow it. So
many interests are involved, commerce
tally, socially, politically, in a case of
insolvency even, that other people can
not afford to have a bankrupt dealer
put into the hands of a receiver. So
many interests are involved in main
tanning the present status of the Otto
man despotism that not even the most
diabolical abuses of Turkish miSrule
of Europe, or any one of them, to put
summary end to such atrocities as
have been committed in the name of
independent state Sovereignty.

A tax assessor has been quoted as
saying that the new tax law doubles
the taxes of the corporations, and pre-
sumabIy he refers to the sugar inter-
ests. Taking this as basis, an evening
paper urges that more conservative
method be used in ascertaining the
value of the taxable property of these
corporations. The question is raised
whether it is advisable, in view of the
confidence of local and foreign capital
in Hawaiian securities, to allow the
statement to go out that taxes have
of course is one way of looking at it.;
but under the present law the state
ment cannot honestly be made that
taxation has been doubled. The rate of
plan of the law passed by the last
Legislature was TO get at the property
which for many years has practically
escaped. When the report of the Min
lister OF Finance shows, as it does, that
individuals pay taxes on SO ,226,776 and
corporations are taxed on property val
ued at So, 537 1893, and also that the cor
poratiOn returns show an invested cap
ital of $27, OO0, 900, one doesn't have TO
look very far to see one of two things:
Either the individual holders have
been grossly overburdened, or the cor
porations have been. constantly escap
ing the Gnavment of theft proper share
in the expense of carrying on the Gov
eminent The methods pursued by the
tax department undoubtedly carry out
the spirit of the law, which was and is
to put the corporation on a par with
the individual.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY.

There seems to be in the minds of
good many people some confusion OF
thought in regard to the idea intended
to be expressed in the word Sovereign
", and the confusion covers also the
exact political significance of the word
State, or Nation There is a mystical
theory of the personality of the State
which was advocated some years ago
by Dr. milford in his book entitled,
1.-The Nation which had great pOpu-
larity at the time of its publication.
The great advances in the knowledge
OF the various forms of organic life in
recent years, and the analogy of the
body polite with its differentiation
of forms and specialization of func-
tions," to the processes of organic life
have given FEASIBILITY and attractive
ness to this theory of the State as
moral personality. But to argue that
because the State is made up OF per-
sons, therefore the State itself must be
a person, is as illogical statement
as it would be, to borrow an illustration
from a recent treatise, to say that the
iceberg and the ocean are alike in form
and function, because they are of the
same substance chemically.
Mr.. Gladstone in one of his early
treatises, :'The State in its Relations
with the Church. upholds the same
notion of a personal entity, illustrating
it by the regard paid to the name and
authority of France, as something dis
dinct from the characteristics and acts |
of the individuals composing the
French people. He took this ground I
with the Interior idea in mind of find
ing in it the cause and justification of
an established State religion. But
MacauIay in his criticism of GladsOne's
opinions, in the Edinburgh Review,
April, 1889, shows clearly that Glad
stones reasoning is Incorrect since the
principle which he advocates would
apply to all social combinations that
have collective personality. Every
bank has reputation as corporation
entirely distinct from the honor and
credit of its Individual stockholders.

THE PACIFIC
SEPTEMBER %.

The New York World strikes face
tious vein in its discussion of the effect
of japanese competition upon the bicy-
Gle trade of the United States. Com
menting upon the report that an order
has been received in Japan for one
hundred bicycles for the American
trade. it, says: We are a tOlerably
honest people, with occasional lapses
in the matter of umbrellas, taxes and
trolley fares for children. We are also
a patriotic people, disposed to favor
those industries which give employ
ment TO our fellow-citizens. But if the
japanese bicycle should underseH the
American machine, patriotism will give
way as completely as honesty gives way
al the sight of an umbrella rack or of
the tax schedule. There is reason to
believe that in this country the desire
to possess a bicycle is stronger than the
desire to settle the Silver question, and
if Japan begins her competitS6n with
the offer of further reductions in the
cost of the bicycle, she assails us at
our very weakest point"
The World can afford to be facetious
while Japanese bicycle competition is
a remote possibility, but the time may
come when the possibility will become
a horse of another color-and the
World will experience a sudden change
to serious vein.
