THE BECLOUDED STAR.

United States Government has ad
vertised the fact that the PostaI
laws OF Congress are not made
operative in Hawaii, at is not
likely that any other laws are
operative, in spite of the hue aud
cry, which is being raised over the
NATTER" and that because Presi-
dent Mckinley has not made il
known shat United States law
should run here, it can reasonably
be assumed that we must 60 along
rs we have heretofore, until the
order comes for us to change" Ii
adds that "of course there are
those here who deem themselves
superior 10 President Mckinley
and his whole Cabinet
The Star seems to be beclouded
by dense ignorance. 1t evidently
does not know the difference be
tween the Constitution of the Unit.
ed States, aud the laws Of Congress,
OF what contention has been rails
ed about the operation of the Con-
stitution. 1t is evidently ignorant
o. the contents Of the Joint Reso-
luton Of annexation. 1t Is also
evidently ignorant of the mode in
which the constitution operates
and in which the laws Of the
United States are to be mado
operative in these islands.
The Star assumes, in its dense
ignor .nce. III at "a hue and cry" is
being raised about the operation
of the laws of Congress. No one
has commended that the postal
laws, or the general laws of Con
gress, have been made applicable
by Congress to these Islands.
The only question at all consid-
cred relates to the operative force
here of the Constitution of the
United States, and particularly of
the amendments thereto, which
the Supreme Court Of the Islands
have decided are not in force;
but which we have shown are and
must be in force here of their own
vigor.
The Star must be densely ignor
ant OF the contents of the resolu.
ton OF annexation. e If it should
read it, it would discover that
these Islands are Subject to the
dominion OF the United States"
and that only such Hawaiian leg
islation is continued in force as ia
mot Inconsistent wih this joint reso
luton, nor contrary to the COnStitu-
ton Of The United States, nor to any
existing treaty of the United
States" 1t would also discover
that the Chinese immigration laws
ot the United States are in force
here by the terms of annexation.
The Star must also be densely
ignorant in regard to the opera
ton of the Constitution of the
United States, add in regard to
the manner 10 which the laws of
Congress can become operative in
these Islands. 1t assumes, in it's
dense ignorance upon this subject,
that the operation of the Consti.
tuition, and of the laws of Con-
gress, depends upon the order of
President Mckinley. 1t evident
ly does not know that the Consti-
tuition is superior both to the
Congress and to the President,
and operates of it's our vigor. 1t
evidently does not know that the
President is not a law-making
power and that it is the sole pro
vince of Congress to extend the
