islation.<br />
Ketolve', 1 That ne respectfully rec-<br />
ommend the following amendments to<br />
and alterations of the draft of the pro-<br />
posed new constitution:<br />
2. We desire to mark Section 2, Arti-<br />
cle 1 of the drtft particularly w th our<br />
approbation, and fervently trust that the<br />
insertion of this section is not mt rely a<br />
s rothing forma ity, but will be properly<br />
and precisely enforced, after promulga-<br />
tion of the Constitution.<br />
3. Tuis is a cosmopolitan community.<br />
There can be no logical reasons adduced<br />
as to why English should be the domi-<br />
nant language. The Constitutional Con-<br />
vention might, with equal piopiiety, re-<br />
quire that an alien before being adu itted<br />
to citizenship be aWe to titiderstandingly<br />
read and writi Latin. We suggest para-<br />
graphs 3 a d4, Section 2, Article 18, be<br />
stricken out<br />
4. Many a sober, honest, hardworking<br />
mechanic ams lrom $4 to $5 a day, yet<br />
never becomes the owner in his own<br />
light of property of the value of $00.<br />
Many a well educated, intelligent man<br />
lias a hard Btruggl. to keep body and soul<br />
together. It is unreasonable that he<br />
bould be classed uith a refugee from<br />
justice because he is po. r. Poverty is<br />
not a crime Paragraph S, Section 2,<br />
Article 18 should be stricken out.<br />
5. lnall countries acenain term of res-<br />
idence i-- required tor acquirement of toe<br />
full privileg n of ei izeiHnp Amid the<br />
-i liar conditions in which we are situ<br />
ated, it is probably po ible that 'special<br />
rights of citizenship" may be justly<br />
granted ti all who have support d<br />
the Provisional Government of Haw ii<br />
We c msider it unjust to the Hawai an<br />
people and country, and undignitie.ii in<br />
;he proposed new Hawaiian Republic to<br />
issue letters of denization. An3 person<br />
who has sutficieiit intere-- t in the welmre<br />
of the Hawaiian Islands to desiie the<br />
privileges of citizen hip should be first<br />
willing to renounce bin native citizen-<br />
ship or allegiam. We suggest that Ar-<br />
ticle 19 be stricken out.<br />
B We acquiesce in the sentiment that<br />
Sanford B. Hole be the first President of<br />
the proposed Hawaiian Republic, and as<br />
the regis'eied voters are so unanimous in<br />
their choice of Sanford B. Dole for tlie<br />
Presidency, we favor grant ng the Con-<br />
stitutional Convention authority to elect<br />
him for a four-yea- r term, with eligibility<br />
to 7. All succeeding Presidents should be<br />
elected by the direct vote of the duly<br />
quu'iried voters. It - within the province<br />
ot th- - Coosutu'iona' Convention to prc-o- se<br />
ihe number of years which shall<br />
comprise a presidential term. Wo are<br />
in favor oi a f jur jear term and eligibil-<br />

11. We fail to obsr.-- the widim o'<br />

13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and IS, Article 50, be<br />
stricken out.<br />
12 By linen 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, Art-<br />
icle 57, complete iwwer is placed in the<br />
hands of a few. These Iine-- i are incon<br />
sistent and c'ash with Section 'i, AriL-l-<br />
1. We sugg st tint they be ttneken<br />
out.<br />
13. Class legHation is a very danger-<br />
ous weapon. The middle or working<br />
classes in all civilized countries are al-<br />
most up in arms against it. It is the<br />
gridiron with which monopoli-t- s would<br />
burn the mark of the serf deep in the<br />
flesh ot the p' j ir man. It is not in har-<br />
mony with enlightened, orinnecord with<br />
free institutions "One man one vot-,- "<br />
is our motto We would suggest that<br />
Article 76 be stricken out.<br />
14. There should be an endeavor to<br />
keen as far as possible within th- - bonds<br />
of Republican simplicity We suggest<br />
th..l Section Gaud 7, ArticleTS tieslri. ken<br />
out. There is no object'on to an Ad-<br />
visory Council formed on the lines of<br />
the former t nvy Council. Legislative<br />
power originated in the peopje, col-le- c<br />
ively, only, and while they may<br />
transfer thene functions to Representa-tue- s,<br />
tlie Representatives cannot make<br />
a transfer of ti is trust to another inde<br />
pendent bnd. The notion of the Presi<br />
dent appointing nve men with legis-la'i- ve<br />
iHiwers is unsafe.<br />
15. Wo would further suggest tl--<br />
pioxisiuns be tnad-- i in tile prpoi--<br />

10. We rn it to with-<br />
draw jiovernment aid from terrain<br />
denominational schois, and recom-<br />
mend liberal appropriations in that<br />
direction.<br />
It is unfair to presume that the man-<br />
agement of denominational schools<br />
would act in any manner detrimental to<br />
good government Wo be ieve that<br />
the teachers will instill g<br />
principles in the minds of the vo-in-<br />
In this position we are sustained to a<br />
great extent by the views o Min-<br />
ister S M Damon and tho liberal edi<br />
torials wmen nave laieiv appeared in<br />
the daily Pacific Commercial Adver-<br />
tiser<br />
17. We are willing to grant the fran-<br />
chise to women under the following con-<br />
ditions:<br />
(a). That if they be given men's<br />
privileges, they accept men's hard-<br />
ships.<br />
(b). That thov shoulder arms and do<br />
military duty in times of riot and war.<br />
(c). That they permit the dissiptiion<br />
of that indefinable law which from time<br />
immemorial has marked the sicial relat-<br />
ion-" of the two sexes, and which lias<br />
protected woman in the enjoyment of<br />
peculiar rights and courtesies, as tlie<br />
weaker sex.<br />
18 We, are of the opinion that once a<br />
man is determined to swear allegiance<br />
and qualify as a citizen under the Ke-pub-lic,<br />
no question should arise as to<br />
what his political sentiment had pre-viou- -ly<br />
been. Treason stares one in the<br />
taco upm violation of the oath of alle-<br />
giance We advise the adoption of a<br />
conciliatory policy.<br />
19 The crown lands should be opened<br />
tip for settlement. Small holdings and<br />
associations proposing to colonize land<br />
should be encouraged. Extra induce-<br />
ment should be iffered to bona fi e eet-tle- rs.<br />
Tha Government should improve<br />
and cheapen means of traunportation,<br />
thus furnishing a small farmer better<br />
facility for conveying his product to<br />
market.<br />
20. We favor the levying of a differ-<br />
ential tax. A graded h come tax should<br />
be adopted. Under the present taxation<br />
system the ricil man almost escapes tax<br />
at ion, while the ioor are exce.-sivol- v<br />
texed. This inequality should bo abol-<br />
ished.<br />
21 Tlie safety of tin, Republic should<br />
not be jeopardized by injudicions reten-<br />
tion. As law and order must hrt main-<br />
tained, liberal police appropriations<br />
shi mid be made.<br />
i2 Sunddy h set apart hy custom as a<br />
day of rest and recreation after sir day?<br />
of labor. Ir. should bi a day of happi-nes- '.<br />
Strict Sunday legislation is a relic<br />
ofrlieda)S of religious bigotry and in-<br />
tolerance. It is iiicjinpatihlo with reli-<br />
gious freedom, and do--s not make a<br />
itenubtn! more hoi jr. We tugest a more<br />
liberal Sunday law.<br />
23 We feel th-- t should our recom-<br />
mendations be accepted and m u'e por-<br />
tions of the proposed new laws the pro-<br />
posed Republic will be strengthened<br />
thereby.<br />
Delegate Smith moved reference to<br />

what the Committee on Legislature<br />
had done. It was unfortunate for thn<br />
petitioners that the petition came in<br />

this matter<br />
Councillor McCandless said that<br />

The amendment was adopted.<br />
The same committee reported on<br />
the proposed new article to be inserted<br />
between Articles 57 and 5S. Tlie com-<br />
mittee recommend the follow substi-<br />
tute:<br />
"If from any cause a general elec-<br />
tion shall not be held at tlie appointed<br />
time, tlie Minister of tho Int'rior<br />
shall, without any unnecessary delay,<br />
appoint another time f r the holding<br />
of such election. And the election so<br />
held, upon such appointment, shall<br />
he deemed to be a general election."<br />
Adopted.<br />
The same committee reported on<br />

Provided, however, that tor the nrst<br />

the Government in criminal cases be<br />
stricken out.<br />
Minister Smith spoke against the<br />
motion and Delegate Vivas in its fa-<br />
vor. The first speaker held toat the<br />
objection was a mediaeval prejudice,<br />
aud the second held that the proviso<br />
was itself a return to medievalism.<br />
Councillor Brown said this matter<br />
was being considered in Great Britain.<br />
The object of the proviso was to allow<br />
the Legi-latu- re to enact laws if the<br />
people desired.<br />
Delegate Robertson favored Dele-<br />
gate Vivas' motion. He considered<br />
to give the right of appeal to tbe Gov-<br />
ernment would bo a great bard-thi-<br />
upon defendants. Many criminal<br />
cases weio merely fights between two<br />
individuals, for example, libel cases.<br />
Those would be the cases in which the<br />
right of appeal would be mad me of.<br />
Minister Damon held that juries<br />
were very just in this country, except<br />
in political trials. In these cases de-<br />
fendants would be persecuted and the<br />
station house would become a Bastile.<br />
He believed in giving even a political<br />
prisoner a fair trial.<br />
Minister Smith said this provision<br />
would help to save the jury system.<br />
A great many persons weie in favor<br />
of abolishing the jury system alto<br />
gether.<br />

conspicuous and favorable spot.<br />
Invitations were issued to 150 of<br />
their fair friends, or fast friends,<br />
and the ceremonies of the occasion<br />
passed off with great eclat, though<br />
with republican simplicity. The<br />
boys sang a favorite hymn, there<br />
was a brief invocation, then came<br />
the address of John Aea, chosen by<br />
his classmates its their representa-<br />

feeling words be gave utterance to<br />
tbe sentiments appropriate to tbe<br />
hour, and, while the band played<br />
familiar airs, each of the class ad-<br />
ded his pile of earth to tbe mound<br />
around tbe tree. The Class song<br />
