DEFEATED.

The defeat of Representative Loeb
ensteln's amendment to Article 101 of
the Constitution was sharp and deci-
siye; by a majority of two-thirds it
was indefinitely postponed. Why twas
not indefinitely postponed the even
ing before requires some explanation.
The amendment came up for discus
sion late in the afternoon, and its in
PRODUCER made long speech in its be-
half, part of the members did not
quite see the bearing of the question,
and part had mistaken idea of cour-
tesy in the matter. TO have fought
the matter out at once would have
meant a night session. 1t was better
that the matter should go over and
thus was ample opportunity given to
reconsider the action next day. Yes
terday the action was reconsidered,
and the opponents of the amendment
expressed themselves as unalterabiy
opposed to any present change in the
Constitution, and the opinions were
clear cut, the reasons cogent.
OF those who voted for the amend
ment, there were but three who real
ly supported it, viz: Representatives
Loebenstein, Paris and Achi. Repre-
sentatives Kahaulilio and Kaae wished
to delay the matter in order to get
advice from the Supreme Court, and
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-03-09

on that ground voted against indeh-
mite postponement. 1t is right thar
the reasons of these two gentlemen
for voting with the minority should be
understood.
The episode created good deal of
excitement i'm town and the Central
Committee of the American Union
Party put itself on record as opposed
to this or any similar amendment. The
incident is over. There has been some
heat evolved, but the principles which
guided the action of the Constitutions
al Convention have been upheld, and
they will remain upheld.

Would Do.

The Portuguese organ, the Luso,
says:
The last publications of the foreign
journals of this city favorable to the
so called annexation of Hawaii, BADLY
advocate what we always suspected
was the concealed skeleton of the
question, and of which we have always
warned our countrymen, viz: That the
party in power desires with such an
neNation to centralize in the hands of
handful of individuals perpetually
the governmental power leaving us
and the natives of the country without
the privileges which ought to be al
ways our protection and political
power.
'Bothe the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives in session continue to try
the patience of our immaculate Min
listers with questions on official mat
tiers, so that there are some who say
that it would cause no surprise that
few days after the arrival of the
President it is probable that they NAV
mourn their dismissal. 1t is difficult
for us to credit the report on account
OF the cables which those gentlemen
have in their Ministerial chairs. which
can be broken only by the storm of

INQUESTS.

The change in the wording of the
law for Coroner's inquests is a mat
ter which interests everyone in the
community. As the law reads at pres
ent, to have an inquest held is in
certain sense a slur, for the law only
calls for an inquest in case there is
suspicion of poisoning, violence or
other suspicious circumstances. But
we have duty of generating the
living as well as ayenging the dead.
The law should so read that inquests
could be held where people die sud
denly. i'm order to clear those who
live of all blame, and where there are
not necessarily suspicious circum-
stances.
Take for instance the case of Mark
Kennedy, who was recently drown on
the coast of Hawaii. There was moth
ing suspicious about his death and the
Coroner did not hold an inquest. but
it would be much more satisfactory to
the steamship owners had they been
officially cleared, and the circumstan-
stances of the unfortunate accident
officially stated.
Some years ago the writer was rid
ing in one of the widest parts of the
Islands. He had with him friend.
On the ride the friend fell from his
horse in fit. \ little further on the
hn f1l hn
been dashed to pieces. 1t was known
he was subject to fits. Had he died
there would probably have been no
inquiry, because there were no suspi-
cious circumstances; but it would
have been much better to have held
an inquest in such case, and yet as
the law stands inquests imply suspi-
cious circumstances.
The Attorney General in comment
ing upon the amended bill pointed out
that an inquest would have to be held
even in cases where patients died I'M
der an operation. There seems to be
no reason why an inquiry should not
be held under such circumstances. 1t
would clear the physician of any
charge of malpractice, or it would fas-
ten such a charge upon an incompe-
tent or careless man.
The circumstances of no death can
be clear to the public until they are
made known to the public. The very
purpose of an inquest is to make such
circumstances clear to the only ones
to whom the law has any interest in
making them clear, namely the pub
lie. The public through its official
representative, the Coroner. seeks to
find out whether the circumstances
are clear. There is no other way in
which it can be. Of what import
ance is it how clear the circumstances
of a sudden death may be to the few
individuals who may have personal
knowledge of them, if no legal, official
means are provided to make that
knowledge public?
The bill lays down a general rule
applicable to all cases. In effective
practice its result will be to make a
permanent record for the protection
of all concerned, that a death is free
from suspicious circumstances, when
that is the case; and to bring to
light crime or negligence when such
have been committed or exist. Its
whole tendency will be certainty and
confidence, instead of uncertainty, dis
trust and suspicion.

The "Luso" in its last number is
very facetious over the members of the
present Ministry. 1t was thinking
that in few days after the arrival Of
President Dole, the Ministers might
resign, but then again they might
not, but it is absolutely sure that
they will be swept away in the storm
of 1899. There is a strange likeness
between some words in Representative
Loebenstein's speech and those of the
Editor of the Luso. Great minds. no
doubt, run in the same groove.

SPANS MILITARY POLICE.
Picturesque Corps That May Always
BE Seen on Patrol

A Picturesque Corps That May Always
BE Seen ON Patrol.
From the New York Herald
The best troops in the Spanish service 90
not belong to the line, but to that ad-
mirable corps of military police known as
the Order Pubico. This is a corps d'eIite
composed of young soldiers, Spaniards to
a man, ell of whom have been selected
from the regular army on account of their
superior intelligence and physical qualities
They perform regular police patrol duty,
and do 1t with a degree of dignity and
courtesy that might well serve as a model
for department for any police force. Their
uniform is distinctively military, consisting
of 4 dark blue tunic faced with red, wide
blue trousers with red stripes and jaunty
cap, something after the fashion of the
French fatigue cap, until recently worn in
our army. Ordinarily they are armed with
huge revolver, worn on the left side in
buff leather sheath, and a short, straight
sword. They are all admirably set up,
and their arms, equipments and uniforms
are the very pink of perfection, in striking
contrast 10 the slovenliness and dilapida-
ton of weapons and clothing that charac-
terize the Spanish soldier of tine line.
All tourists who have had occasion to
come into contact with an Order Publics
will cheerfully testify 10 his unfailing
courtesy 1t was this corps which, equip
pee as infantry, with Remington rifles, dis
tiEguished itself by the mastery manner
in whion il handled the mobs during the
riots. without once having occasion to fire
a shot.
Although the evidences of war to be seen
in Havana are scanty enough. 1t is amaz-
ing how frequently the insurgents manage
to run the guard of the outposts and make
forays into the suburbs. Hardly week
passes that a squadron of a dozen or so
reckless horSemen does not make a night
raid on the little town of Casa Blanca,
across the bay, and a scant quarter of a
mile from the palace itself These raids
are made half in bravado and half for the
purpose of looting the few stores in the
place to procure supplies OF liquors and
provisions, and as finale, before retreat
ing across to the hills to the westward,
the raiders generally discharge a few ran
dom shots at the city across the bay.
Gen. Lees breakfast to the officers of the
Maine at the Marianao Yacht Club on jan
uary 30 served as pretext for raid by
the insurgents, who are anxious to give
the American visitors an example of their
prowes3. Word had been sent to the near
est insurgent camp that the breakfast was
to take place. and arrangements were made
for a foray, under Juan Delgado to at
ok the town as sort of spectacular
finale to the entertainment at the club.

that there is not gold enough in

the gold standard. He says with
