WEDNESDAY, APRIL q, 1898.

This session is too far gone t.
initiate improvements of system
in Legislation, but there is one
mater wherein reform might be
attained two years hence This il
regarding the appropriation bills
Once these. are introduced and
their subdivisions begin to be re
ported back by standing and
special committees, the house in
which they originate ought to
make them the special order OF
business for every alternate day
until passage on third reading.
A law might, in this connection,
be passed at the present session
requiring all money petitions, or
resolutions for appropriations
presented by members, to be in
PRODUCED within the first fifteen
days of the session. Emergency ap-
preparations wanted by the Exc
cutiye might be excepted, or,
better, reserved for a special bill
at any time after the main bills,
or parts thereof, have been com.
mitted. In some countries peti
tons for money to the Legislature
are inadmissibIe, the requisition
ing for appropriations having to
be made TO the Exe cu'ive. There
are reasons for and against the rule
A great advantage is in having
definite financial propositions
to legislate upon from the outset.
An objection is that constituencies
eiectlng representatives in opposi
ton to the government Of the day
are liable t. have their needs neg
lected owing to the lack Of inhu-
ence such representatives, have
with the executive. However, it
seems ridiculous in the Hawaiian
practise to have petitions for cost
iy public improvements, such as
have not been investigated at all
by the executive, striDgiug in up
to the last hour at which the ap
propria ion bills are pending.
The reasons for urging expedition
in passing the appropriation bills
are too obvious to require extend
ed argu nent. Public works are
delayed of beginning far into the
season mostfavorable for carrying
them out, and some that ought t.
be completed 80 as to be reported
upon at the next Legislature, or il
they cost more thau allows of
their com pletion to have the de6ci
ency provided for as promptly as
possible, are still found dragging
along at that time. As result,
in the one case, they furnish no
guide for legislating upon
other similar works, and, in
the other, the unfinished work is
all in a hazs and the subject of
needless controversy. Instances
of both phases of the evil are com
mon enough at the present SEES
sion. Auother bad result of the
system is delay in eff+cting i'm
provements in services which
have become more or less urgently
necessary by the increased de
mands of the public convenience
While the Leg stature is noted Oh
this occasion for alous scrutiny
of past action by the Executive, il
might taxa into consideration
whether the supposed evil it is
trying to remedy might not b.
largely prevented by making the
initiation of money votes, more
exclusively than is the case, a
function of the Executive. Then

YORK STATES CHOICE.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The election of Colonel Roosevelt is
triumph of the people. They demanded his
nomination ana they have made him their
governor. The sterling honesty ana in
telligent vigor of the man appealed to the
best sentiment OF the voters. Their ge-
spunse is a vindication of the democratic
form OF government. They have taken
him AT his word, because his acts justified
their confidence. When he said he would
serve the best interests of the state II
elected they believed him. His career
proved that i'm the public service he has
no other aim than the public welfare.
His election Is Il stimulant also to good
politics. 1t teaches the politicians of ho'h
parties that the man to WIN Is the man
who for high qualities and honest service
has commended himself tn the mass Of
the people. They, when they bestir them
selves, are the best judges Of motives and
character, and when they clearly indi-
cate their candidate, as they did in
Rooscvclt's case, the political manager
who follows where they lead need have
no fear of the result. The people never
reject their own choice. Roosevelt at
tractcd the whole vote of his party be-
cause he stands for It's hest principles. iIe
