THE PASSING HOUR.

Honolulu is having astonishingly
rapid growth as an American naval
station.
Aguinaldo will get that pet dish of
his without poison, but with plenty of
sting if he stands out against the Am
erican forces.
Gen King has made many friends

France is devoted to extremes. Drey-
fus was denied communication with
counsel. Now one of his aCcusers un-
der arrest is treated in the same man
ner. This is fiendish consistency.
1t was some of the educated sea-
going people over near Manila who re-
ported the steaming Monadnock as a
wreck. The difference is that it is the
business of the Monadnock and Mon
terey to manufacture wrecks on occa-
sion.
The native Hawaiian n. G. II. COM
pany has what is called the good
eye. strenuous Efforts were MADE to
defeat the command in the trophy con-
test, but the natives did the most prac-
ticing, gave the most attention to the
task at hand and won.
China S new governmental arrange
ment, by which the reins of direction

fact is that the authorities here pro-

THE POWER OF THE COUNCIL
OF STATE.

The power 10 appropriate puDnc
moneys by the Council of State, dur
ing the time intervening between the
sessions of the Legislature is confined
to the emergencies Of war, invasion,
rebellion, pestiIence or other great pub
lie necessity This is the language
Of the Constitution. The Supreme
Court has just decided, as it could not
otherwise do, that the Council Of State
must decide for itself, when the occa-
sion arose for such an appropriation,
The Council of State, therefore, has
virtual control over the public expendi-
lures The Federal Government has
no such power. Not has any State.
But the trainers of the Constitution
adopted this provision for wise rea-
SONS. The power of the Council was
exercised in defraying Mr.. Dole's ex-
penses to Washington, although very
many ardent annexationists did not
see emergency or great public neces-
sity for it. But certain supporters of
the Government did. In the case of the
Japanese indemnity, the power was
used to good advantage.
1t is an elastic power in the hands
of the dominant party to make appro-
priations, without legislative act, and
it is only checked by public opinion,
which changes it's moods from time to
time. Emergencies" and public ne
cessity' are just what excited men
choose to make them. No courts can
define them. Questions regarding the
use of this power generally arise when
men are excited, and are determined
by prevailing sentiment, and not by
any well considered convictions. For
this reason the people are reluctant to
confer such a power over the public
purse. Probably Congress will not re-
tain this provision in any laws passed
for the Government of this territory.

Close attention to ones duties, no

THE COMMITTEE AND THE GOV
ERNMENT.

Inc memorial or the committee OF

ment and SO delightfully."- characters
tic of 'masheen" methods, we must
recur to it once more. We repeat the
exact language of the memorial:
1.-THE object of the American Union
Party was to assist and support the
Provisional Government of Hawaii
in the formation of the Republic of
Hawaii and to maintain such Republic
when formed until annexation aoih the
United States should be accomplished"
If there is any meaning to language
the meaning of the language quoted is,
that upon annexation, the party ceased
to exist as such.
Having made a distinct and prelimi-
nary statement that the party is dead,
the mem orial proceeds to tell the Com
missioners that:
1.-The present Executive of the
Government of the Republic of
Hawaii although supported by the
American Union Party for the purpose
of Annexation, has not at any time
called upon or consulted with the Party
recommendations to be made to the
American Commissioners pertaining to
the future form of government for Ha-
wall
The committee censures the Govern
ment for not knocking at the tomb of
the deceased party, waking it up out
of it's eternal slumber, and consulting

Islands The committee, not we'll in
structed in supernatural matters may
have assumed that Gabriel was willing
to lend or lease his trumpet to any
person, including the Cabinet, on rea-
sonable terms, and, therefore, there
was no excuse for not communicating
with the .Jamented dead" through the
trumpet
On the whole, the Executive was JUS
tilted in failing to negotiate with a
party that had deliberately gone to its
long home.
The committee seems to believe that
it has the power of resurrecting the
dead. But we ask with candor, would

discharge offensive odors.
If the party is dead, by the open
confession of the committee, who then
does the committee represent? By
what authority does it censure the
Executive for not waiting at the door
of the Tailor Shop, until called in?
The establishment of new party out
of the substantial material of the old
party is desirable. Parties are neces-
sary. If the committee cannot control
the new party, let it retire and medi-
tate on it's own career. We are sure,
however, that although the people Of

Due West Colleges Commencement
Exercises.

On Juno 18th wo left Seneca for Duo
West, $. G., to attend tho ffty-ninth
commencement Of Erskino College. Our
visit to Due West will never be forgot
ton, as every moment of the five days
spcnt in this ideal town were fraught
with unalloycd pleasure. Tho kind poo
pic of this town arc noted for their hos
pitality at all times, but during com
mcncomcnt week they seem to vic with
each other in their cordial efforts to on
tcrtain tho "strangor within their gates"
1t is not surprising that tho two colleges
located there arc renowned, both far and
wide, for while they arc shining lights"
among colleges, thoir surroundings aro
certainly congonial and inspiring.
The commencement exercises began on
Monday evening, Juno 18th, and con-
tinucd until Thursday morning. Tho
programmes were said to be equal TO- if
not better, than any of her predecessors
Twcnty-thrco young ladies received
diplomas and their essays were bright
with wit, humor and intelligence. A
full description is entirely beyond my
powcrs. can only say that each olrort
was good and each young lady was bcau-
tifully and bccomngly attired.
From Erskino College seventeen young
men wore graduated, and suroly thoro
