1t is well-known that we are not Re-
publican in politics, nor have we any
legal training, but we think we have
enough common sense to read and to
understand the terms and provisions
of our fundamental law. Good horse
sense would dictate to the leaders of
our political victors that they airs not
above reproach nor are they unim-
peachable, all political parties being
subject to the one and same law and
none can nor dare override it. Law
is law, and must be construed there
with To construe it to suit purpose
is to evade the issues. Any other can
struction that the victors may place
upon the subject will be surely met
with in a signal defeat, wherein and
whereby they may be brought around
with a quick and sharp turn. We are
confident that there are others watch

There Is rumor going the rounds

showing antagonism to the leader that
carried the banner forward to victory
Being true Hawaiian bred and born,
he naturally resents any slurs, insin-
nations and innuendoes now being
cast by his white followers upon the
people of his race. they being acknowl-
edged to be the ones who made his
fight successful. Well. we knew be-
forehand that they would make an at

WILL THE GOVERNOR DAREp

We are still of the same opinion as
that expressed in our last issue anent
the calling of the Senate into extra
ordinary session for the sole purpose OF
removing certain executive officials
who have become obnoxious to the ap-'
pointing power and to fill certain va
cancies. and particularly the Senators
elected at the recent elections, and
none has been able to controvert Or
change our views. One thing is GER
tain. the more we consider the matter,
the more convinced are we that the
position we have taken is the only cor
rect one; and further, we believe that
the only Just course for the Governor
to take. should he deem it advisable to
SO call the Senate together, as he has
a perfect right to do, to seek its "ad-
vice and consent" in the matters that
he is desirous of doing, is to accept an
ex-parte expression of opinion, some
what semi-legal in character.

when it should be so done, call to
halt will surely be issued.

And yet, we cannot for moment be-
lieve that Governor Dole is too simple
minded" not to know his own standing
as well as the prerogatives of his posi-
ton. We have yet to learn that he is
really so simple minded as to permit
himself to be foolishly lead by certain
blind leaders of the blind" within his
own party, and must we say not those
of his party, but rather of that mission
airy faction and of the family COM
pact" to which he is pledged by ties to
do up or to down the Hawaiian people
by subjugation and in submission for
good and for everlasting, If he and they
are permitted to run things to suit
themselves. And should he give way to
their every behest, supported and en-
dorsed by the party they are now con-
trolling, then we are done for, and
must look for relief elsewhere and
within other quarters more congenial.

But to claim that the recently elect
ed Senators can be called to come to-
gether in extra session is to presume
to do too much in a most radical
course. We hold that they cannot come
together in extraordinary session prior
to the coming together of the regular
session of the Legislature, which shall
and must be "biennially thereafter"
since the first regular session which
was "held on the third Wednesday in
February, 1901" it being on the Goth
day thereof If such is the case. when
will the next biennial regular session
of the Legislature be? We hold it to
be on the third Wednesday in Febru-
airy next, which will be February 1S,
1903. When the Legislature is then
convened, then will the term of the
newly elected Senators begin, and not
before.

We may now suggest that if their
contention is correct, then their Dele
gate-elect can and should at once so
on to Washington and claim his seat in
the House of Representatives. And
yet Delegate Wilcox's term has not ex-
pired by his failure in being reelected
He is still Hawaiis Delegate till after
March 4th next when the incoming one
will have right to take his seat. We
think the same argument applies to
our Senators-elect and no amount Of
cavilling can overcome our ground of
contention and of argument.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-11-10

The Governor may call for an extra
session of the Legislature, which shall
be composed of the Senate and the
House of Representatives the Senate
being comprised of the members elected
at the previous election and the House
of the members elected at this last
election. When the two bodies should
then come together, it will then be
likened to bastard Legislature, be-
cause one is the opposite of the other
in priority as we'll as in its complexion.
Now that the Republicans are sure Of
majority in the Senate, they think
that they can do as they please, bnt
they will find the Organic Act to be
against any such contention on their
part. The wording is quite plain anu
clear, and we are quite certain that
they cannot overcome it.

eminent employees work only eight
hours a day, while those in private
yards work nine and ten hours.
Another objection made to government
construction is that the work would
probably not be so well done as In pri-
vate yards. It was also urged that con-
struction would be much slower In the
government than in private yards. This
reasoning against government con-
struction, however, had little influence
on the house and doubtless will not
have much upon the public. Most
people will be unable to see why as
good work cannot be done in the navy
yards as in the private shipyards, or
why ships cannot be constructed very
nearly II not quite as rapidly in the
former as in the latter. At any rate
the difference Of a few months In the
time Of constructing a battleshlp
would not be a serious matter.
The house acted wisely in providing
that three of the new war vessels
authorized in the naval appropriation
bill shall be constructed in the navy
yards. Let the experiment be given a
fair trial, the work of this kind that has
beer done by the government not being
sufficient to determine whether or not
the building Of naval vessels in govern
ment yards is good policy.

PRoDDING THE COAL TRUST.

Washington Post: Eventually tho coal
consumer will be driven to organization and
then the struggle will assume the shape OF
a triangle.
Indianapolis Journal: The anthracite coal
strike affords a case where a system Of
compulsory arbitration might be defended
by the most cogent argument, namely, the
we'll being OF the public.
Kansas City Journal: It is said that the
national administration is directing its at
tention to the anthracite trust and that
the attorney general. may conclude to in
stitute proceedings against II. II the anti
trust law can be made effective in any case
It certainly ought to be applicable to this
monopoly. which fills all the conditions
necessary to constitute a harmful and
vicious trust. 1t may be added. to refresh
tho memories OF our free trade friends,
that there is not and hasn't been any tsrift
protection on hard coal.
Chicago Inter Ocean: The dealer and the
consumer, It will be observed. are put ex-
actly In the position OF the buyer of postage
or revenue stamps from the national gov
ernment They can buy nowhere else, and
they must buy at the trusts prices and
terms. just as they must buy at the gov
ernment's. In fact. six or seven men In
New York have put themselves, so far as
anthracite coal Is concerned. in the exact
position Of a government As respects this
necessary OF life they have a monopoly like
the governments monopoly of the postal
service. Such are some OF the results OF
a real trust as displayed In practice. They
certainly are worthy Of consideration. and
most serious consideration. on the face OF
the facts.
Springfield Republican: OF the total
yearly production OF anthracite coal,
amounting to about 81, 900 900 tons, the three
states Of Pennsylvania, New York and New
Jersey consume about IS per cent, or
IS, 900, 900 tons. The New England states
take Is per cent. OF a little over s,0Oo.O Oo
tons, and the western states about ~ per
cent, or $780, 900 tons. Canada and the
southern states each take about 2.o0o, 0OO
tons. Years ago anthracite coal was ex-
tensively used in manufacturing and trans
portation. but now such use is largely con-
fined to districts no more remote from the
coal fields than New York City. Beyond
that limited area the consumption Of hard
coal II almost entirely confined to the
stoves and furnaces in the dwellings Of tho
people. A suspension Of production in th'
summer season. accordingly, will not d.
rectly affect manufacturing to any greai
extent. except In the country adjacent Il
the mines. and bituminous coal will b
available there as elsewhere. A strike o
the soft coal miners would be vastly NOR
serious from In Industrial standpoint thai
this Of the hard cool men.

IyrERsTATr Law AMENDMENTS.

There appears to be small probability

merce, Senator Elkins, in which he ar
CUES for the Corliss- Nelson, a measure
that Is vigorously opposed by the rail-
roads. II. is stated that Senator Ell
kins is making a strong effort to ascer-
tain the views OF railway managers on
his bill, but 1t seems to be difficult to
elicit definite responses. The senate
committee on interstate commerce, II Is
announced, will shortly begin the hear
ings upon the proposed amendments
OF the interstate commerce act, begin
ming with the members of the com
mission and continuing with such rail-
way representatives as may be disposed
to give the committee their opinions.
It may be very well to have these
hearings, but at this late date In the
session they cause delay that may pre-
clude action on the proposed amend
ments. And it would seem that they
are not necessary to the enlightenment
Of congress, which certainly ought to be
sufficiently well informed regarding
both the public opinion on the question
of amending the law and the views OF
most railway managers. The demand
for strengthening the interstate com
merce has an overwhelming pub
lie support and the necessity for II
has been most conclusively demon
strated. With few exceptions the rail
roads desire that the law shall remain
as it is, unless it shall be amended 81
as to legalize pooling. The proposed
hearings are not likely to throw an!
new light upon the situation.

The kidnapping OF Gaynor and Greene at
Quebec by United States detectives Is much
enjoyed by our people. Those precious ras-
calls. who are wanted In Georgia for trial
on charges Of conspiracy and fraud against
the United States government in connec-
ton with the Oberlin NJ. Carter case, had
fed the country-thus virtually confessing
their guilt-and safe. as they thought, in
their Quebec hotel, bad insolently wiggled
their fingers from their noses at Uncle
Sam, haunting him with inability to catch
them. The kidnapping consists simply in
getting the men to Montreal, where It is
believed the courts will be more disposed
to listen to the request for extradition than
those Of Quebec. Whether the extradition
is accomplished or not the experience Gay
nor and Greene have now had with the
United States detectives will make them
less impudent. There ought to be law
enough In the extradition treaties Of
America and Great Britain to bring them
to justice.

an exaggerated form Of self-consciousness,
which, while entirely different from egotism
or c%onceit, causes self to loom up in such
large proportions on the mental retina as
to overshadow everything else. The VIC
tim Of 1t feels that, wherever he goes,
whatever he does, he is the center OF OBJ
servation, and that all eyes, all thoughts
are focused upon him. He imagines that

, nENERAL LEONARD Woop.

The name of General Leonard Wood
will be forever associated with the
Cuban republic and will always be held
in respect by the people Of that country,
who have just attested their gratitude
for what he has done. He accom-
plished a great work In the island n
made a most honorable record. When
the war with Spain came General Wood
was a surgeon in the army. He Went
into the war as a colonel Of the rough
riders and when the American oeeu-
nation commenced he was made gov
ernor of the province of Santiago. In
this position he disclosed uncommon
administrative ability and commended
himself to the confidence alike OF
the Cubans and the Washington au-
thorities. When a successor to Cen
eral Brooke at Havana was to be
chosen there was no thought OF any
one but Wood. The ability he had
shown at Santiago greatly impressed
President Mckinley, public sentiment
In this country favored his selection
and the Cuban people wanted him.
How well the confidence reposed In
him was justified is familiar history
1t may fairly be said that he almost
recreated Cuba. 1t was a great task
that was devolved upon him, but he
was equal to every demand and was
able to say in departing from the Is
, land that it is free from all contagious
diseases, that facilities for education
are more general than ever before, that
public order prevails throughout the
country and that everything necessary
for efficiently carrying OF the new gov
ernment has been provided. For this
most meritorious work General WOODS
reward is a brigadier generalship In ths
regular army and no one will question
that he deserves it. OF all who were
connected with the freeing and regen

honorable distinction than Genera
