TIRE VOID OF ANARCHY"

The Star argues that the deci.
sions of the Supreme Court de-
claring imperative the amend
mests,to the Federal Constitution,
were necessary in order to avoid
the unpleasautness of stepping
"into the void Of anarchy" be-
tween the platform of Hawaiian
Legislation, and the platform of
legislation to be hereafter enacted
by Congress.
If there is any "void of an
srchy" 10 be stepped into, it must
of necessity be produced by the
res plution Of annexation, and the
operation of the Constitution of
tn, United States, modifying so
much Of the Hawaiian legislation
as is Inconsistent Herewith.
If annexation to the United
States and suhjpction of Hawaii
to its sovereign dominion, and the
support and ~ orcemant OF the
Constitution Of the United States
ia these islapds, necessarily
brings with it void of anarchy
in case Hawaiian legislation is
held subject to the Constitution
of the United States, there is no
escape from being permanently
engulfed within that "void."
The time can never be when
Hawaiian Legislation or Federal
legislation can be valid 10 these
islam Is 50 far as ''contrary TO The
Constitution of he United Statesp'
W. commits crate the Star upon
its unfortunate predicament. The
Supreme Court has only afforded
it a temporary relief from "step-
ping into the void of anarchy" by
suspendiug the Constitution of
thu United States in these Islands
But the time is not far distant
when that Constitution will de
sceud upon the Star with all of its
force and will operate upon all
existing and future Hawaiian
legislation. Then will the un-
fortunate Star be compelled by q
higher p ,wer thanthe suspeasive
powsr Of the Supreme Curt OF
tle lslands TO step iuto the void

walked into trap from which they were more
than fortunate to escape without leaving several

been In that vicinity on both Of the two days
prior to the one on which the ambush occurred.
and were riding In single column when fired
upon. Lieut.. Wooten was at his usual place at
the head OF his men, and Sergeant Condor, non.
commissioned chief of scouts, rode at Wooten's
side.
Investigation of the place where the ambush
was laid shows that the insurgents placed small
tripods Of bamboo in the ground on which to
rest their guns and thereby discharge a fire of
deadly accuracy. As the horses of Lieut..
Nooteu, sergeant Condor, and private among
the scouts were brought down at the first yolley
from the enemy, 1t is evident that the insurgents
aimed at an elevation intended for foot soldiers

ties would have been inevitable.
