f^Review by the Hon. Hannis
ylor, our present minister to
ain and the author of a well
known work on the English con
stitution. In his opinion a weak

says, that this Wilder right is secured to

Hawaii. He is not, however, an

iclipsc of his reputation and
ence, his usefulness to his-col
leagues would be gone. He would
a drag upon them not a help to
them. On the other hand, if the
cabinet deems itself collectively in¬
terested in the defeated bill, and is
firmly supported by the president,
it can—with the consent of the sen¬
ate, which usually would be ob¬
tainable—have recourse to an equiv¬
alent to the Swiss referendum:
that is to say, it can dissolve the
legislation and appeal to the con
stituencies.
Now, under our constitution
neither have we any provision for
a referendum in the case of federal
laws, nor “do we empower the pres
Jdent to dissolve congress at his
will and order the election of a new
house of representatives. Cotise
quentlv, should we authorize cabi
net ministers to present bills to the
two houses, and to take part in
the discussion of them, we should
expose them to. hardships that
would presently become intolerable.
Should a bill for which a single
minister was held solely or princi¬
pally responsible, be defeated, lie
would be driven to resign from per¬
sonal humiliation or the illconcealed
irritation of his colleagues. If all
the members of the cabinet were
commited to the bill by the
advocacy of it in congress, they
would all be constrained to offer
their resignations, because their in¬
efficiency as mouthpieces of the
president would be demonstrated.
Yet, obviously^ this would be a
hardship, because a referendum or
the election of a new house of rep¬
resentatives might show that the
defeated bill represented the wish
of the people. Thus far we have
assumed that the majority of the
house of representatives is, at the
time when bills are presented, of
sunic political party as that to
which the cabinet belongs. Of
course, where the majority of the
house notoriously pertains to an op¬
posing party, nothing would be
by allowing cabinet minis¬
ters to offer and 'discuss bills.
We cannot improve our scheme
of federal government by borrow¬
ing at random a feature of the
Swiss or any other constitution
framed with an eye to distinct ex¬
igencies and upon different prin¬
ciples. As it is, our policy is the
most perfect existing type of the
presidential, as sharply distin¬
guished from the parliamentary
system. We cannot fuse those
systems w ithout the virtual annihi
lation of the president’s authority,

This is to obtain information of the

The adventurous days when ex
peditions of this character ran some
risk of conflict with wild Indians
may have passed away, but the
charms of discovery are not ex¬
hausted. When enough is known
about Idaho, attention can be
turned to other localites. Alaska,
for example, is likely to furnish a re¬
gion for investigation far along into
the twentieth century’.
Gov. Matthews, of Indiana, has
paid off the state militia, who
served in the late riots near Chicago,
out of his own pocket and hasn’t
taken a mortgage on the state in
exchange for the money thus ad¬
vanced,’either. Such conduct is
calculated to tfiink make an ordinary
office-holder he’s dreaming.
The house committee on naval
affairs has made a report on the
Carnegie steel-armor frauds that
properly characterize that outrage
on the public. It is to be hoped
that an adequate punishment will
yet be fitted to the scoundrels who
are to blame for such scandalous
work. -

He was 'the principal of a school

The whisky trust expects to muke

a fine bill for trusts. As for the
