British Traitors Shot,

A correspondent of the Globe, writing
from Enslin, on November "a, says:
Did you hear about that station mas
ter at the Orange river? He has been
shot, and serves him right. He had
been telegraphing to the Beers all our
movements and arrivals in camp, and
he was found out quite by accident.
An officer one night while on outpost
duty caught two Boer spies, who told
him that they knew everything about
us, how many troops arrived in camp,
and IN fact everything there was to
know that would kill us. The officer at
first poohpoohed this, but when they
were taken before the General they
told the same tale. and added II came
from the station. We were all stag
gered at this as you can guess, and the
stationmaster was wheeled out and
questioned, and the fellow confessed
and SAID the telegraph clerk trans
mitted the messages. The dirty de-
inquents, they were both Englishmen,
can you believe 1t? l cannot. They
were speedily tried, and before the day
was out the stationmaster was shot,
bowling for mercy. The telegraph clerk
was sent down to Cape Town, where he

BUSINESS MAKES DEMAND.

Provision for Chinese and japanese
merchants is fast becoming a serious
problem which calls for positive action
from the authorities. The work thus
far has been carried on with the end
in view that the plague Is to be
promptly stamped out" Two months
have passed and we are well into the
third and the plague is still here. No
one can say when the port will be de-
clared free from infection. Business
Is at a standstill. The Asiatic mer-
chants from whom a good portion Of
Hawaii's population draw supplies are
not only forced out Of business, but by
a resolution of the Board of Health all
importations from Asiatic ports are
practically shut off for an indefinite
period.
On the face of it this situation can
not continue. Some provision must be
made for opening up the avenues Of
trade, or Hawaii will force upon the
United States an interesting diplomatic
wrangle to say nothing of the claim
for damages that will make draft on
the resources Of the local government.
The campaign conducted on the basis
that few weeks would see the end of
the difficulties must sooner or later be
changed If the situation does not in
the course of the next few weeks show
marked improvement.
Local merchants cannot be tied up
Indefinitely, nor can the local govern
ment refuse to receive importations
from Asiatic ports that have been
opened to trade. Hawaii will not only
be held financially responsible for the
great quantities of freight now tied
up and spelling In quarantined ware
houses. 1t will also be held to answer
for blockading the business operations
OF Asiatic merchants. From the pro-
fessional standpoint the present cam
paign can hardly be improved upon
Business steps In and makes demands
which must be recognized. The com"
and government have to make
up their minds to pay for losses suffer-
ed, dollar for dollar, and maintain
destitute people at public expense. If
paign continues. Are the people pre-
pared to pay the price? Decision upon
the exact line of action for the future
cannot be made in n day, but the stu
alton Is such as to call for the serious
elaboration of the authorities.

As is tho case with all patron saints,
citations from the life of George Wash
ington are used to prove the value Of
every political dogma to which the
events Of later years have given rise.
The great lesson of Washington's life
was his steadfast loyalty to principle
throughout a period that tried mems
souls, Washington's was character
OF positive Americanism which left an
indelible stamp upon national politics.
1t is to be hoped that this positive,
patriotic strength may not only be a
guiding principle of the people of this
newly Americanized domain, but also
that 1t may be infused into the official
life of the territory.

of the Government as Mr.. Dole or any
member of his Cabinet.
There Is nothing in the local consti-
tuition to suggest that legislative ses-
sions are subject to the call Of Presi-
dent Dole or any other executive officer.
AS representatives of the people men,
bers OF the Senate and House are in
duty bound to meet on the third We'd
nesday of every alternate February.
This Is what they are elected for. The
ceremonies attending the opening ses-
sions are merely additional frills in
terspersed which may add official i'm
portance to the legislative session, but
have no bearing on the relation of
legislators to their constituents or the
business of the country.
Under present circumstances, the
elective officers of Hawaii are In exact
ly the same position as regards author
ity to act as the executive officers of
the country. They hold their offices
and all their acts are subject to the ap-
proval of the President. Having failed
to receive instructions from the Presi-
dent, each member Of the Legislature
has to decide his course Of duty for
himself. He is answerable to his con-
stituents and the President of the
United States. The opinion of the
President of the Republic Of Hawaii
has no bearing on the question of legis-
lative responsibility.
The opportunity offered for Mr.. Dole
to learn the pleasure Of the President.
The Chief Executive having failed to
improve the opportunity, members of
the Legislature are in duty bound to
take some action. That Mr. Dole has
followed his usual course of making a
mistake does not relieve the elective
officers from their responsibility.

LEGISLATORS RESPONSIBILITY

The Bulletin falls to appreciate
wherein any member of the Legisla-
ture can throw the responsibility for
failure OF the legislative session upon
the Executive Council. That Mr.. Dole
has been slow in learning the pleasure
ofthe President In this connection is, to
be sure, an evidence Of lack of fore
sight and the usual policy of the Exc
cutive to never do today what can be
put on till the morrow. This, how
ever. has no particular bearing upon
the individual action of members of the
Legislature, who are as much members

AS TO COUNCIL OF STATE

An attempt was made yesterday af-
ternoon at the instance of Attorney
General Cooper, to bring about meet
ing Of the Senate. Geo. Manson, clerk
Of the Senate, tried to notify the Sena-
tors in town, succeeding so far as to
reach J. A. McCandless and J. N.
Wright, whom he induced to meet with
Henry Warehouse at the Office of the
st-named. President Wilder, adher-
ing to the opinion he had given to the
Bulletin, declined to attend the meet
ing.
Organization was not attempted by
the three Senators. They agreed that
the responsibility did not rest with the
Legislature for delinquency of the
regular session prescribed by the laws
of the Republic of Hawaii. 1t was re-
garded as very peculiar. to say the
least, for President Dole's law adviser
to come in at the twelfth hour with q
recognition of the principle that the
Legislature still held Office under
President McKinley's order.
Senator Waterhouse said this morn
ing that the least President Dole or the
Executive Council should have done
was to consult the President of the
Senate. The presiding officers OF both
branches Of the Legislature had, on the
contrary, been completely ignored. II
the Government construed President
McKinley's order all along as they ap-
peared to do now, they should have
given the Legislature timely notice for
assembling on the day appointed, even
IL but to adjourn from day to day until
specific instructions were received from
President Mckinley.
The Senator in conversation with
Bulletin reporter, having the Constitu-
ton in reference, seriously doubted the
standing of the Council of State. At
all events, its tenure of Office was
strictly dependent upon that of the
Legislature, so that unless the Legis-
lature Is still in Office the Council of
State is a dead institution. Sections 2
and of Article 81 of the Constitution
read thus
Section 2. The Council OF State
shall be elected and appointed during
the first session Of the Legislature; and
at each regular session held thereafter.
Section 3. The term of Office of the
members thereof shall expire at the
end Of each regular session of the
Legislature held after their election"
Section makes five members of the
Council of State appointive by the
President, and five by each branch of
the Legislature, making fifteen in ALL

Senator Waterhouse raises an inter-
esting point in connection with the
legislative situation. If the Legisla-
ture is no more, the Council of State
which Is child of the Legislature, has
no source Of authority except such
as may be received direct from the
President Of the United States. Since
the President has the authority to turn
the whole system of government up
side down, inside out and then set 1t up
again. 1t does seem that the Executive
Council has been very much asleep
during the vacation period, when. as
Mr.. Dole put it, "the Board of Health
is running the government"
