QUEEN kAPlOLANl.

Queen Dowager Kapiolani was borr
before the first Constitution of the
Hawaiian Kingdom was promulgated
and she survived the life of the last
Constitution. She did not become
prominent in state affairs until her
husband, KalakaIa, came TO the
throne. and her influence as Queen
was limited by her ignorance Of the
English language.
She was an excellent type of the Ha-
waiian woman. She was generous in
. measure, thoughtful, and anxious to
improve the condition OF the people.
Although she was not aided by the
natives in her philanthropic projects,
she always urged them to benevolent
undertakings. The kamaainas sim
cerely regret the death Of this excel
lent woman. who was almost the last
of those who represented the Hawaii
an Monarchy, with its curious aspects
Of civilization placed against Poly
nesian background.

the President. 1t remains in force un.
I'll repealed, as provided for by the
Constitution. The President cannot
alter 1t or nullify 1t.
Under the Joint Resolution OF An
nexation, passed by Congress. signed
| by the President, and made law of
the Republic, 'the municlpal legisla-
| ton Of the Hawaiian Islands. not en-
acted for the fulfillment OF the treat
les so extinguished, and not inconsist-
ent with this Joint Resolution, shall
remain in force until the Congress OF
the United States shall otherwise de-
termine."
The municipal laws OF these Islands
require registration and an election.
They cannot be changed or suspended
until Congress so determines. The
Joint Resolution does not give the
President any power to suspend these
laws. They stand as laws of the
United States affecting this territory.
While a registration and an election
during the present year may cause a
useless expense, and be of no practi-
cal value, the municipal laws OF the
territory require that these proceed
ings shall be taken, and these munic-
ipal laws are now laws of the United
States.
II the Constitution prevails here, the
President has violated 1t in suspend
ing these laws. No reading OF the
Joint Resolution permits of any other
construction. There is neither word
nor phrase In the Resolution that ena-
bles the President to suspend any law
whatsoever. All of the civil. judicial
and military power Is vested in such
persons as the President shall direct,
and no power Is reserved to the Pres
ident to alter any municipal law.
The lawyers who are so distressed
about the decision OF the Supreme
Court, which declares that the terri
tory is not blanketed with the Consti-
tuition. can now open their batteries
on the President because he has vio-
lated the Constitution in suspending
a law of the United States. No doubt,
il there was anything to be made out
Of 1t. they would denounce his direc-
ton to suspend the election laws, and
get up a formal request to somebody
asking about the Presidents authority
to violate the laws and the Constitu-
ton. Claiming, as they do. that the
Constitution Is blanketed over this
territory, they can find no time to
criticise the President, but after the
manner Of attorneys who have lost

COST or A SCARE.

The people OF the Southwestern
States have reckoned up the frightful
cost of a scare. and have resolved not
TO throw away their senses again.
During the years 1897, and 1898, the
appearance of yellow fever in New
Orleans threw the inhabitants OF
neighboring States into a panic. Fac
tories were closed, thousands of work
ing people were thrown out of EN-
ployment, and in scores OF towns the
necessaries OF life were lacking, The
Federal Government was called upon
for aid, Farms and houses were mort

"GOOD ADVICE"

The season for giving good advice"
is now at its height. Although the
preachers give abundance OF 1t. one
day In each week, the event of closing
the schools and colleges usually pre-
cipitates an excessive rainfall OF moral
precepts which falls on the heads OF
the young and forces them to wade up
to their knees In torrents of admoni-
tons.
II good advice was capitalized as
the sugar plantations are, the amount
OF the moral dividends paid out during
these few days, would run into the mil
lions. Moral stocks whose assessments
are payable in good advice. are always
at premium, for, as w. II. Alger said:
We give advice by the bucket and
take it by the grain =" '.'
The defect in the annual application
of admonitiOn to the young is, that:
We can give advice but cannot give
the wisdom to profit by it," This was
maxim of La Roche. One who for
thirty years was a prominent states
man, said he had persistsntly refused
TO talk to the college boys because he
dared not tell them the truth about
his own life, and expose his own weak
ness in failing to take or follow good
advice" lie had INDUCED in noble as
pirations during his youth, but his
life as statesman was a continual
compromise with evil, in securing the
best public policy. If Providence" he
said. had attached to every man a

corded all of his deeds, and with which
was open to public inspection, like the

oter it would be indeed difficult 10

men and announce much good advice"
Benjamin Franklin believed that ad-
vice had little value In comparison
with the knowledge of the best con
duct Of AFFAIRS, and he regretted that
the men who had this know ledge were
always reluctant to make II public,

LAWYERS IN COUNCIL.

The resolutions which have been
presented to a. temporary Organiza-
ton of the Bar of the Hawaiian Isl
ands for adoption, protesting against
legislation by Congress which will
contiue the present Supreme and CIR
cult Judges in Office, does not appear
to be founded on any definite and ex-
pressed reasons. No incompetence.
nor judicial unfitness is specifically
alleged. But, even II there is judicial
Incompetence, the community Is es-
topped from alleging 1t. We have
been telling Congress and the Amer
lean people, for some years. that We
Judges have personally the very best
reputation in Washington. Every ad-
vOcate of annexation especially de-
claimed about the high character of
the Bench and no one has gain

Of all classes that the judiciary was
slngularly able and honest. Mr.. John
W. Foster, who is close to President
Mckinley, became convinced of the
high character of the Judges, by gen.
eral intercourse with our citizens, and
the opinion prevails in Washington
that We do not need any change, a.
present.

day means new deal and a desire
for fresh blood" why not SO declare?
And in order to shorten proceedings
and develop the point, why not state
the names of the new candidates for

At last the people concluded that
they would keep their heads. The au-
thOrities Of the States of Alabama
Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee,
met and agreed that they would not
get scared, 10 the yellow fever appear
ed this year. The first case of the fe-
yer was the test of the agreement. 1t
came sooner than it was expected, and
1t occurred in the city OF New Orleans,
on the 2Sth Of May. The different
States were notified at once of the
presence of the fever. No panic fol-
lowed, and no quarantine was estab-
lished at the State borders, or at the
city and town limits. The control of
the disease was left to the physicians
OF New Orleans, who are competent to
deal with 1t. The Health Officer of
the State of Texas refused to enter
into the agreement, and declared a
quarantine. He refused to let the
mails enter the State. The national
authorities refused to disinfect the
mails, and told the people of Texas
that If they did not let the mails in.
they could go without them. The
press OF Texas denounced the act of
the Health Officer. and he changed his
orders.
The people of the Southwestern
State have tried the experiment of u.s.
ing their senses in a crisis. and it
works admirably. The lesson they
have learned has been costly one
Only suffering and waste, and enor-
nous expense, has taught them the

II Is unfortunate that so many have
abandoned the Mainland with it's

In the meantime, they can follow
the example OF the New Jersey skip
per, who carried in his pocket a piece
of dried apple taken from the old
homestead. When he was Off stormy
Cape Horn, or in other forbidden
seas. he took the dried apple out Of
his pocket, smelt of it, and exclaimed,

Constitution Is established here, the
exiles on these heather shores can

ton, and when life becomes nothing
but a weary waste, take out the pock-
ct edition, kiss 1t and exclaim, This

INSTRUCTING THE FlIlPINOS.

| The Filipino must look upon the
Americans as extraordinary creatures
and as deceitful as the Spaniards.
The Manila Freedom, an American
paper published in Manila, recently
gave the Filipinos some good advice
as follows:
"Aguinaldo should post himself on
Yankee history and mediate thereon.
On the first page he would find the
story of the noble but unfortunate
red man. how he rebelled. and how We
took his scalp, his pony and land.
| Then how, when We had punished
him, We sang the doxology and sent
Missionaries to Christianize what re-
NAMED OF him. Then when we landed
at Plymouth Rock, first we dropped
on our knees. and second we dropped
on the aborigines. II Aguinaldo is
wise and will be peaceable, Uncle Sam
| will come over and spend the evening
with him and bring his knitting along.
II he will work and not fight, serve
and not shirk, Uncle Sam will put him
on his feet. strengthen his knees, lift
up his chin, open his eyes, give him a
home. a flag, faith, a God and n
country. II he rebels. Uncle Sam will
give him what Sheridan said war was
and what Dewey gave his oppressors. 4"
This frank advice does not aid the
Peace Commissioners in their efforts
to convince the Filipinos of the be-
nevolence OF the Americans. When
the American press tells these Orien-
tails that they must be banged, and
kicked, and blown up to a higher
plane Of existence. Naturally enough,
the Filipino who reads books, cannot
understand the moral notions Of ma
ton that kills of one part of the peo-
pie in order to raise another part.
The Spaniards who conquered the ma
tives Of the North and South Ameri-
can continents, several hundred years
ago, compelled them to accept Chris
tianits by cutting the threats of GER
tain number. in order that the rest
might take warning and be instantly
converted"
The policy of the President in Wig
orously prosecuting the war in Luzon
Is approved by the intelligent and
even conservative people of America.
Al tha same fine II nlacps them in an
cwkward position when. under the
freedom of the press, the Filipinos are
told that they must be whipped into
taking what We choose to give them.
The nation is in the position Of the
Judge. who was advised by his friend
to act promptly, but never given any
reasons for 1t, because reasons are
dangerous things to trifle with.

the territory. Its condition during the
transition period. and, II the Interior
ence OF the Federal Executive was
really needed. to ask for II. and give
tho reasons for IL. This is an admira-
bic plan for preserving harmony In
the political machinery until Congress
has enacted laws for the government
Of the territory.
The President has not issued any
public statement defining the duties
of the special agent. But 1t may be
assumed that his duties are not mere
ly clerical.
1t may be assumed, also, that the
special agent has fully informed the
President about the embarrassing
questions which arise regarding the
Constitution. and has made appropri-
ate suggestions as to the policy which
the President should adopt in direct
ing his subordinates, who are now
conducting the local administration.
II the Federal Executive had no
representative here, there might be an
excuse for bothering the President
with questions about the Constitution.
Mr.. Sewall Is here, and. 1t may be as
sumed. has a thorough knowledge Of
the embarrassing questions, which
have been created by the Joint Reso-
luton. He certainly does not need
prompting by the lawyers in any Sc
rious case.
II the Supreme Court is in error in
its judgments as to the force OF the
Federal Constitution. and II its judg-
ments should be modified or reversed.
because they are, in the opinions of
interests, the special agent must be
aware of the alarming situation, and
will, without urging, inform the Pres
ident about the impending calamity.
Apparently, the only way by which
the President, under the Joint Resolu-
ton, can reverse the judgment of the
local Supreme Court, is to remove the
Judges, and appoint new Judges, with
whom he must make a bargain before
he appoints them, that they will re-
consider the case, and reverse the
judgment of the present court.
IL the lawyers could obtain accurate
information as to the views, on this
subject, held by the Hawaiian Com
mission in Washington, in the prepa-
ration of their report, and The views
of the President, with whom they
were in cordial relations. they would
find that the President takes general
ly the same view of the status OF these
Islands that Is expressed in the decis-
ion Of the Territorial Supreme Court.
At the same time, the President may
be In error. The Federal Supreme
