TnE LAWYERS VACATION.

Tho vacation OF two weeks agreed
UPON by the lawyers. was altogether
eco abort a period. As new departure
II was a polite measure to fix 1t for
q short period. but in the coming years,
u should be extended TO two and three
mnnths. This can be done, II the bust
nsss community is properly educated
20 accept Il. The lawyers in the busy
cities and towns of the Mainland, are
gradually extending the vacation time
% even three months, those of July
August and September. The courts all
setting the example.
There Is no desire to avoid work in
extending these vacations, but rather a
desire to do better work. The strain
IN professional men Is now so hard, 1t
results In the premature decay OF many
Of them. Worse than this, 1t is known
thae Of late, the professional men over
ta1ed BY work, resort to stmulants In
order to meet emergencies. The head
a q well organized business concern
does less active business as he grows
older. because the mechanism Of the
business can be conducted by younger
men. With the professional men, on
the contrary. increase in age brings
increase in serious business. and it is
not easy for them 10 share their
responsibilities with others. Nhe pro-
feasional relation is confidential and
cannot be delegated as a rule.
Long resting periods are necessary in
these days OF unnatural activity. and
the professional men should secure
them.
As there are no distinct seasons in
these Islands, 1t will not be easy to
establish a closed season. but the need
Of 1t Is nevertheless great, especially
for the white man who can keep his
brain up to its best work only by keep
ing his physical power in the best con-
tiitiOn.

representing that there would be no

Of the public, who insist on the keep

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

brate Admission Day, August II. by
declaring the same public holiday and
giving a state reception and ball in the
evening at the Executive building
which is To be illuminated and decor
ated for the purpose.
A site for quarters for the officers
Of the United States Navy who may be

cordance with the application of COM
mander Merry made some time ago.
The petition Of r. II. Mossman for u
thirty years lease OF Lot II on the

cided that the rent should be fixed AZ
the upset price of $500 a year. The lot
will probably be offered at auction In

THE CONSTlTU ZION AND PORTO

The gentlemen who are so indignant
over the decision of our Supreme
Court. because it sustained the New
lands: resolution Of annexation, which
virtually declares that the Constitu-
ton does not extend to these Islands
find cordial sympathisers in the Por-
to Rico commissioners in Washington
who persist in urging that the Consti-
tuition extends to Porto Rico,' because
that island has been coded to the
United States, and is part OF the
American territory. Their argument Ia
almost identically the same as the ar
gument advanced by our local pro-
constitutionalists. namely, the United
States owns the island, and therefore
the Constitution covers it.
But President Mckinley refuses to
agree with them, and holds the same
views taken by our local Supreme
Court, that the Constitution does not
cover the island. There are scores of
able lawyers on the Mainland. who
think the President don't understand
the Constitution, and that somebody
ought to correct him. But scores of
able lawyers on the other hand be-
lieve that he is right in his judgment
The argument in favor OF the extension
of the Constitution Is certainly very
strong. but the argument on the other
side is equally strong.
So the President, with good sense,
holds that the extension of the Consti-
turion to either Porto Rico, the Philip
pines or Hawaii is more Of a political
than a judicial question, and that Con-
gress, and not the Supreme Court,
must decide the case.
1t is claimed also. with much force.
that the Constitution extends to the
Philippines because they are now
American territory. But the President
declines assent to the argument, and
holds that whether IL does or does
not, is a question for Congress, and
not for the courts To decide,
II is said, ON good authority, that
the government in Washington, is gra-
tihea with the decision OF our Supreme
Court On the open sea OF legal un-
certainty, the judges are much safer

published by the Department. The
Secretary Of Agriculture had. however,
secured an opportunity for making a
test Of this method at the Omaha Ex-
position. r......'. ~,
The steel plates are eight inches
wide. one inch in thickness The road
bed is macadamized. Mr.. Martin es-
Inmates the cost OF the steel plates or
fiat rails to he about $500 per mile.
and the cpst. Of the road bed $500
more, so that the total cost Of a COM
plete steel track wagon road would
be about $4,000 per mile. The cost,
therefore, should not be greater than
any hard and durable road.
The power required to move vehicles
over such a road is only fraction of
the power required to move the same
vehicle. over a common road. Ex-
periments made on the track laid on
the Exposition grounds at Omaha,
showed that while it required twenty
horses to draw eleven tons over a
common road, one horse drew without
difficulty the same weight of eleven
tons over a steel track road
Where the grades, are steep. it is in
tended that the tracks shall be cor
rugated.. y
The;adoption of this method OF road
making would gradually change the
construction OF vehicles. The gauge
would be. made, narrower. lne centre
of gravity would he lowered. and the
vehicle itself would be much lighter
The use Of the horseless carriage will
soon become general. 1t has nearly
passed the experimental period. For
this carriage. the steel-tracked road IL
especially adapted.
The experiments made on the new
road in the neighborhood OF Cleveland
will be very instructive.

A CURIOUS TRANSACTION.

An item in another column regard
ing the renewal Of the lease OF the Vol
canO house premises, indicates a COM
mercial transaction with peculiar
local and volcanic flavor.
It is we'll known that the valuable
~active" assets of the Volcano Hotel
Company, are the eruptions in the
crater OF Kilauea, and on the slopes of
Mauna Loa. Without these disturb
ances the hotel has few attractions, SO
thaa II has been the liberal policy Of
che company to encourage rather than
suppress eruptions and the officers Of
the company have made 1t a practice
to become confidential with those who
have the arrangement Of the outbreak.
These active assets of the Volcano
House Company have, for several years
greatly declined in value, and pessi-
mists have spoken of them as extinct
assets in the near future and have
boldly predicted that on the balance
sheet Of the company. they would soon
be marked off to the profit and loss
account, or in commercial slang be
turned into the cats and dogs ac-
count. ".'
While the volcanic industry was In
this depressed condition, the lease of
the hotel premises was about TO. eX-
pire, and negotiations were begun with
the exemplary and wary trustees Of
the Bishop estate for a renewal of II,
and these negotiations have been pend
ing for some months. But they were
suddenly brought to a head several
days before the outbreak on Mauna
Loa by the sudden eXertions of Mr. Il.
G. Macfarlane, and, the new lease for
twenty-five years was granted by the
trustees. 1t now appears that there
were suspicious circumstances con-
neoted with the transaction, which III
true, should invalidate the lease.
In order to obtain better terms for
the company, in the new lease. Mr.. Il.
Z. Macfarlane is said TO have strongly
represented 10 the trustees that the
lack of respectable eruptions for some
years had reduced the business of the
company, so that insolvency was near
at hand, and in his opinion there would
be no eruptions for some years to come =,
and that II would be an unconscionable
piece of business for the trustees toI
exact the same rental from non-erup-
tive as from actlvely-eruptive premises

calculations which demonstrated with
