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 />

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 />

the Committee on Legislature.<br />

MinisterSmithsaidhedld not know<br />

what the Committee on Legislature<br />

had done. It was unfortunate for thn<br />

petitioners that the petition came in<br />

Tate. He would move reference to the<br />

Committee on Executive.<br />

this matter<br />

Councillor McCandless said that<br />

Councillor Emmeluth did not know<br />

what he had been talking about. The<br />

rank all I file had been consulted and<br />

there was no great (leniuid for the<br />

Minister Smith reported for the<br />

commend the pasiage of Delegate<br />

Tlie amendment is as follows:<br />

"All persons born or naturalized in<br />

the Hawaiian Islundi, and subject to<br />

the jurisiliciion of the Republic, are<br />

citizens thereof."<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 />

Delegate Viva9 moved that the pro-<br />

viso allowing the right of appeal to<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 />
