THE SUSPENSION OF LAW.

A Subscriber" living on Maui,
asks if President Mckinley has DELHI
erately violated the Constitution of
the United States in suspending the
enforcement of the election laws
Whether he has or has not, is not a
vital question. at present. 1t might,
however. become an important ques-
ton, if Congress refused to legislate
on Hawaiian matters during the next
session. The probabilities are that the
necessary legislation will be passed
The Advertiser stated that by Joint
Resolution, the municipal laws of Ha-
wall become laws of the United States,
and these laws require AN election
There is no power whatever given to
the President to suspend them, even
if they are useless. provided they do
not conflict with the Constitution or
the Resolution. AS no one claims that
they conflict, they are in force appa-
rently

THE BISHOP OPPOSES.

The Bishop of Honolulu, like the
liarkey who was never happy unless
nagging his mule, has again been
pouring sand into the. machinery of
the English Church.
In the Diocesan Magazine he says
he is willing to turn the Anglican
Church over to the American Church,
provided the American Church will do
what he asks them to do. He ex-
poets and demands that the American
Church will maintain Bishop here,
and if it won't agree to do that, and
incorporates the See of these Islands
with the Bishopric of California, he
will not permit if he can help it, the
transfer of the Anglican Church prop
erty to the American Church. Even
dictate to the American Church what
it must do, although the authorities
of the Established Church in England
do not agree with him. While it is
no affair of mis- what the American
Church may do in these Islands, he
intends to make a fight up to the
last moment. He even censures the
Society for the Propa cation because it
does not agree with him.
OF course, the property of the An
glican Church will be duly transferred
to the American Church. What, then,
will the Bishop do? How will he get
even with these great churches that
won't take his advice?
Since Signor Marconi has sent mes
sages through the air on electrical or
ethereal waves, by the use of the cells
of an ordinary galvanic battery, and
without wires, the question is again
raised whether or not messages can
not be passed through space, for great
distances, from brain to brain, With
out any physical communication.
If the Bishop is knocked out OF his
high office here by the American

THE BAR ASSOCIATION.

The remarkable increase in the
number of lawyers, doctors, and
preachers, in the Islands, marks the
rapid changes in our growth
Old Sir Thomas Browne said that
these three professions were founded
on the Fall of Man." and could not
have existed before Adam and Eve
needed moral advice and medicine,
and Cain needed a lawyer to defend
himself in murder case.
Judging from the large number of
professionals here, the Fall must have
been heavy one in these tropical
parts, and the thud of it startling. 1t
is clearly not for their interests to
restore the purity of the Garden of
Eden, as it would take the bread out
should be profoundly grateful that the
Fall occurred and gave them an
opening for business.
The lawyers have now organized
themselves into a Bar Association,
and it will be most excellent body
for experimenting and watching leg
islation. 1t must not be understood
that it is at all in the nature of a
trust, because lawyers dislike trusts,
and prefer cash. While the law is al
ways uncertain, and the way judges
will decide case is, in many cases, a
toss up" the certainty of the fee
should remain the unchanging founda-
ton upon which the profession
stands
DR.. Johnson said the lawyers were
only actors, who assumed different
characters, as they were paid to as
sumo them, and when they closed
ing and waited for new engagements,
SO that a lawyers wardrobe was the
most diversified in the world. But in
all time, they have faithfully and
most diligently acted their parts, with
gain to their clients and security to
society.
The Hawaiian Bar Association has
elected excellent officers. In the an
cient Scotch churches, when deacon
was elected, he was furnished with
long pole, with which he could reach
and prod the sleepy, the irreverent,
and the riotous members of the con-
gregation. The Association has now
put in the hands of President Paul
Neumann a pole with which to reach
the delinquent members of the Bar,
and compel them to maintain the dig
nifty of the Association. Perhaps this
Office is only stepping stone. First
q terrapin-then cherubim," says
the old chronicle What shall be the
next evolution, the Bench or the Gov
ernorship? or, has the genial presi-
dent new plantation up his sleeve"
which the Association will cordially
assist in promoting?
The Bar Association should make a
strong effort to secure a good library.
1t would be of great service to the
younger members, who cannot afford
to own many books. By cooperating
with the judges, the Government law
library might be made more valuable,
and better arrangements secured for
consulting the books.
