A DANGEROUS MOVE.

That the members House major part them have
absolutely idea of what Legislative functions and mx-up leg
o great I'VE are has been every in the country The
vote OF want confidence passed against Marston Campbell piece
OF the most unnecessary work. but the demand that Superintendent
Cooper should dismiss the gentleman piece of the ankes mper
lenence What will the House do Mr. Cooper refuses listen
bhests few days ago the House passed
Superintendent Cooper viii pass a
want OF confidence in him if he does not obey its orers One ou
have thought the House would have tired of these buoon
have learned from its predecessor OF the past but plain that will
never learn.
Is this Territory going be by irresponsible men, who
when the mood make the widest OF about anything
anybody or are the responsible officers going attend its business
The Organic Act and one begins wonder whether of the
be realize that there is Organic Act expressly what principal

principle that involved If House whether Maon
Campbell shall remain government employ not dictate who
shall be the jantO who shall be the pilots shall be the kerosene
keeper who shall be deputy general In fact this would be
the executive the rule of the House step further and the House
might dictate the personnel OF the minor judiciary Whether
having tasted power tiger blood the House Representa-
tive of the Territory Hawaii would
10 dictate who should and who should be President of the
States, question which fairly tremble
Messrs Kmaae and other soon feel themselves quite capable
appointing President goes without saying They still remain under
the impression that Hawaii annexed the United States and that they
ant appoint the Federal Offices they ought Last session they
dictate Mckinley who should be Governor
y thought debating Roosevelt who should be Cover
nor. and then thought better OF it.
But be serious The House itself of the personal
it regards the Office regards the who fills the
office If the incumbent Of an office popular with the majority they
will with that popularity 1t is but
that incumbent of office should be popular
that and when the House arogaes itself the which
has the desire to be compasant continues grow,
The Marston Campbell episode in the House serious
and remains for Superintendent Cooper administer practical
rbuke which will be forgotten important
know its place
