KNOWLEDGE ENOUGH.
Cared Not for n Higher Sub
tect Than beans.

Notwithstanding her nose turned up, there
we're specs on it, and she was from Boston,
which may be considered to be competent
testimony that heredity isn't everything.
She was visiting in Brooklyn before the hot
spell and the first young man she met was
one who prides himself on his intelectuals.
Whether anyone else does or not is another
story. AS it happened, the young man had
to talk with the young woman alone and he
did not fail to throw few brains at her.
"Ah, Miss Sophia" he said, with soulful
yearn in his gentle voice, 81 presume you at
tend several of the numerous schools OF phil.
osophy in which Boston is 30 rich and Brook
lyn is so poor?"

Mr.. Blank, do not attend any"
Indeed, and do you feel no interest in
any of the concepts of modern philosophiC
thought"
None whatever fear" and she really
seemed to be sorry to have been so careless
Of her golden, glorious opportunities.
"And does not the subjective idealism Of
existence in delightful Boston profoundly
affect the reality Of your Ego?'
80 far | have not observed that II did,
she said, apologetically.
"How can it be possible?" he exclaimed
1.-THE sphere of your knowledge must be fa
wider than it is with u.s."

carefully. 81 should say it was not. Don
you know as. long as we Bostonians know
beans when the bags open we don't worr,
overmuch about the rest Of it. Why SHOULD
we? Isn't that enough for us to know"

Souvenir of the War with
Spain.

She was a collector OF souvenirs.
The young man who had just returned
from the war could not refuse so slight a
request. All she wanted was something by
which to remember the campaign in Cuba.
He was about to respond in the usual ro-
mantle fashion and offer himself, when she
interposed.
"All desire is some worthless trile that
will remind me of the hardships you went
through in defense of liberty"

uniform do?" he inquired.

"Well, the more nearly so, Of course, the

He was lost in meditation for some min.
utes. Then, with Frightening countenance,
he exclaimed
"How thoughtless il was of me not ia

angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head Of each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress and she was perplexed.
After minutes thought she held the book
up to her mother and said: "See, mamma,
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads
The mother, looked. "Tho'e are angels,
dear" she said.
And what's the funny rings on their
heads, mammal? the child asked.

THE CUBAN SUFFERERS.

While there has been some talk
about it, there has been no definite &C
ton taken here, in response to the re-
quest made by President Mckinley
that the people of the United States
would aid the suffering Cubans.
We have republished this request, as
officially made, and urged that this
community generously respond, for two
reasons: first because our friend Presi-
dent Mckinley urgently asks it of the
American people, and we are substan-
TALLY part of them, and secondly, be-
cause this community has certainly de-
rived substantial advantages from the
Cuban instruction.
There is of course the other remain
ing ground, that the sufferings of the
Cubans are unparalleled in modern
warfare, and during every moment OF
the day and night, there exists in these
days of modern enlightenment and aw-
full exhibition of mans inhumanity to
man."
To respond to the Presidents re-
quest is also, we venture to say, good
politics" as the world goes.
Under all the circumstances and
these need not be detailed at length
it would be wise, polite and generous
for the Legislature to appropriate the
sum of $4,000 or more for the purpose.
AS every member of the community
shares, more or less, in American
bounty, and in the commercial advan-
tages which flow out of the Cuban in
surrection, a national appropriation
would be equitable and just. Taxation
would equalize the slight burden. Not
a person, not a corporation should OBJ
ject to the slight taxation it would
bring.
This community owes much, owes
everything, to the generous bounty of
the United States. The extent of that
bounty is known. A refusal to meet
the request of the American President,
would lay us open to the charge of
'meanness," which we cannot afford
to meet, so long as we have recipro-

INTERPRETING THE C0NSTITU-
TIUN.
Heaven.

Whatever the wording of the Con-
stitution is, it was not meant
that the Ministers should try to lead
either the House or the Senate" etc.,
etc. This, we assume, is the opinion
of Representative Atkinson, as ex
pressed in the Star. There you have it
at once. Whenever a man uses the
vague phrase, whatever the wording
may be- etc., you may be pretty sure
that he doesn't care much about words
and their meaning. The Representa-
tive evidently needs as much training
in knowledge of the Constitution, as
the venerable darby did, who was
elected to the Georgia Legislature, aft
er the Civil war. After the first week
of the session, he rose and said: Mr..
Speaker What am dat ar no'sh'un
day calls de Constitushun? l hears
dem talkin' about hits pervishuns. Is
de perwishuns vegetable or meat? Mr..
No doubt the other members of the
House have taken occasion to care
fully study our own Constitution.
However, it will do no special harm,
if fresh Representative colt, when
turned loose, for the first time in the
Legislative paddock, lets his heels fly.
all around, and snorts off a defiance of
"whatevers," at the wire fences of the
Constitution. There are good men and
some good lawyers in the House, and
they will act as professors in the Mug
wump college, which the Star suggests
should open at once They will inter-
est any "irrepressible' as to the re-
sisting power of the barbed wire
fences, which an irrepressible does not
always quickly see.

protecting the Reciprocity

vision protecting the Reciprocity
Treaty.
We do not, for an instant, dispute
the right of the Legislative body to
do this very thing. 1t has it I'M
der the Constitution. The Ministers
have no privileges. But the need Of
party Government and leadership be-
comes plain. 1t means nothing more
or less, than organized business.
Without it, the Executive is crippled
in it's power to act efficiently, just as
President Mckinley is now crippled
in the annexation matter.
We do not defend the Govern
ment. We are not in its confidence,
and are not its organ. But there is a
principle of wise administration at
stake If the Senate cannot trust the
Government, then turn it down, if it
can.
We need here a strong Government,
and there can be no strong Govern
ment if the Ministers are to be treat
ed as rats let loose in the legislative
pit, to be worried and bit by legisla-
tive terriers. No doubt there are occa-
sions when the Ministerial rats do
need to be shaken up by the dogs. 1t
is done in the British parliament, and
it makes a serious crisis. But a gov
eminent that is subject to crises all
the time, is never strong. The Span
ish-American Republics are famous,
like the Irish, for always going agin'
the government"
No one questions the patriotism, or
the perfect honesty of the legislative
body. No one should question, for
an instant, its desire to meet wisely
the serious questions that are before
the country. But it is liable to error,
as many legislative bodies are, in its
policy. The reasons why it is liable to
error, in critical times, are many and
natural.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-02-22
HOUSE PREROGATlVES.

The prerogatives of the House were
slightly discussed Thursday, when the
Attorney General made a suggestion
regarding procedure. Representative
Atkinson challenged his right to dis
cuss the matter as the Attorney Gen
eral is only a Cabinet Minister.
The Attorney General is not elected.
The member from Honolulu is, and like
Barabbas, is zone of the people, and
naturally the warm blood of democracy
surges in his veins He would be re-
creant to duty if he permitted the ac-
tive Attorney General to take hand
in padding the Legislative canoe, I'M
less the fundamental law allowed it.
So he dropped SHELF into the At
torney Generals quarters, which struck
and split to pieces on the face of an
iron shield, IA inches thick in the
hands of the Attorney General over
which is written Article 81 of the Con-
stitution.'
1.-The members of the Cabinet shall
be ex-officio members of both Houses
of the Legislature, with all the rights
powers and privileges of elected mem
bers, except the right to vote"
This provision gives the Attorney
General the same power as the mem
Der from Honolulu, excepting only the
power to vote.
If a 'Mugwump Legislative College
were established as the Star suggests
it's first duty would be to teach the
member from Honolulu how to read
the Constitution.
