THE ORGANIC LAW.

There has been little expectation in
Washington, since the meeting Of Con-
gress that any organic law for the
government of Hawaii would be passed
during the short session. The draft Of
the law reported by the commissioners
contained PROVISIONS and ADOPTED pr1n-
ciples OF government that were novel,
and had never been applied TO any of
the Territories The provision for
property qualification, especially, was
contrary to all precedent, however wise
it may be. Even the fact that this
qualification was incorporated in the
Hawaiian constitution, by those who
established it, and, moreover, was de-
manded by the American Union party
without dissent has no especial weight
with Congressman. No one could eX-
pect that any radical measure would
meet with any quick response from
Congress, because Congress, after all,
represents the thought of the people,
and the people could not make up the
mind in haste about such measure.
This conservatism OF the people was
and is quite sufficient 10 prevent action
on the organic law for Hawaii during
the short session.
Aside from this aspect OF the case,
the question of dealing with distant
and newly acquired territory, on en-
tirely new lines, has suddenly confront
ed Congress. Whatever Congress may
learn out of books on the subject, it
has had no experience in dealing with
the mixed inhabitants Of tropical cOun-
tries. What experience it has had in
attempting to apply the principles of
self government to races other than
American or European, has been de-
cidedly unfortunate. The negro was
made citizen, but the power TO quail
ify him as a voter was turned over
with certain constitutional limitations
to the States in which he resided, and
these States have largely disqualified
constitutional powers.
Before attempting to deal again with
races, unfamiliar with our political
institutions. Congress is evidently de-
termined to guard against the errors
that have been made,
Any legislation for Hawaii involves
the declaration of some principles. AL
though the Commissioners, who draft
ed the Hawaiian daw declare, in their
report, that their proposed law should
no
passed, be regarded as one.
The disposition was manifested early
in the session of acting with extreme
caution, and the more troublesome the
questions are, when directly faced. the
stronger has been the disposition to
make haste slowly.
Those who desire to protect the
sugar interests of the Mainland are
actively opposing the passage of the
organic act. They count on the sup
port of the Republican party in Con-
gress, because that party is the cham
pion of the American laboring man,
and is committed to the doctrine OF
protecting him." by tariffs, or in any
other way that will secure TO MN
high wages. 1t requires more than or
binary patriotism and party loyalty to
support a party which is committed
TO the idea of raising the wages of la
horers within the national boundaries,
and may feel it solemn duty to check
the great prosperity of these Islands,
in the interests of American laborers
