SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 188G.
SUPREMACY OF PARLIAMENT.
The supremacy of Parliament has
not yet reached the zenith, even in
England the fatherland of repre
sentative government. Lately Mr.
Henry Richard, M. P. for Mcrthyr
Tydvil, brought forward n motion
condemning declaration of wnr, or
completion of treaties, or annexa
tion of foreign territory, without
the previous sanction of Parliament.
On a division being taken the motion
was rejected by a majority of six.
This was a close enough shave for
privileges of the executive branch
privileges, it cannot be denied,
which place enormous stakes in the
hands of Ministers, in the intervals
between parliamentary sessions. It
is true, the Ministry must give an
account of its doings in those inter
vals, on the earliest opportunity, to
the representatives of the people.
Yet, all the punishment that it is in
the power of those representatives to
impose upon the Ministry will avail
nothing to repair any damage that
may have been wrought to the
nation in the meantime. Examples
made of the executive by the popu
lar branch of government, in such
cases, can at the best be valuable
only for their exemplary influence
upon future Ministries. Such a
beneficial effect may be very great,
although in no way redemptory of
the blunders and malfeasances that
arc past.
The subject, however, as it has
come up in England, seems to in
volve more a question of popular
privileges in the abstract, in the
light of modern constitutional de
velopment, than the ultimate popu
lar welfare. The reasoning upon it
must be subordinated to the doc
trine of the comparative infallibility
of parliament, that, as representing
the people, forms the final court of
resort in responsible government.
To discuss the relative merits of
the executive and the legislative
branches, as to which is the safer
repository of the "greatest good of
the greatest number," would bo to
open the floodgates of a controversy
as profound as, and in some degree
identical with, that which raged be
tween Macaulay and the Utilitarians
respecting the disposition and the
capacity of absolute rulers to do
either good or ill to their subjects.
For it cannot bo contended that
parliament, the arm and mouth of
the popular will, is infallible, any
more than the people themselves.
Parliament may do serious damage
in acting upon proposed "declara
tions of war, or completion of trea
ties, or annexation of foreign terri
tory." Still, if parliament is the
incarnate popular will, it may bo
the right thing, according to the
genius of the age, to rocognize. its
supremacy to the full, or for itself
to enforce such n recognition. The
Ministry being, however, only a
"committee of parliament" under
the British system, the question
resolves itself into ono of utility.
Can parliament afford to hamper its
chief committco to the extent in
volved in the motion that so nar
rowly escaped passing into law in
the House of Commons? England's
parliament may be educated and
trained to the point when it may
safely assume to hold tho executive
in such absolute control.
There arc other countries, cer
tainly, with representative institu
tions, where parliament has a good
deal to catch up with, in its undis
putedfunctions,bcforo being justified
in going the length of tho proposal
just defeated in tho British House
of Commons. First of nil, n parlia
ment should bofrco nnd independ
ent. It should honestly nnd disin
iift,toi riiiifftlwith wl.ll'ffi"
terestedly represent tho people.
This it cannot do if it admits salaried
public servants, holding their posi
tions wholly in the fuvor of tho
Ministry. It is impossibles, cither,
for parliament to represent the true
interests nnd the wisdom of the
nation if elected by corrupted suf
f i ages. Unless tho election laws are
framed on the principle that the
buyer and seller of votes, together
with the user of undue influence
nnd him who submits to such, are
criminals, therefore ineligible to
have any voice in government, their
participation in any election being
sufllcient to render it void then the
parliament resulting from the suf
frages thus left liable to be bought,
coerced, or stolen, cannot be recog
nized as being composed of the
tribunes of the people. It is such
a parliament as a nation would be
better without, a despotic system
being even preferable, for under the
latter a spirited' people would find
it easier to effect a chango if mis
government became unbearable.
Another requisite to parliament,
before it assumes all the privileges to
which in an ideal state it might lay
claim, is that it fnitlifully perform
the functions already expected of it
by the people. It should compel
the fullest and most open scrutiny
of the Ministry's administration of
affairs ; have no packed committees
of deliberation or enquiry ; take no
excuse for withholding information
except in the case of unfinished
work, the details of which pre not
ready to be disclosed without danger
to public interests. Upon a ques
tion of the latter sort, it is, of
course, always competent for par
liament to use its discretion as to
tho worthiness of the Ministry to
hold such confidence.
There must be a pure and a
faithful parliament before a supremo
parliament can be aspired to. A
nation that cannot achieve the former
cannot expect to obtain the latter.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
It has been suggested that the
continuation of Kaahttmanu street
from the upper end across to King
street would be a wise-measure, and
would entail comparatively little
outlay, because most of tho land re
quired for that purpose is in posses
sion of the Government. One of
the advantages of the suggested ex
tension would be increased frontage
to the Post Oflicc.
A speech delivered before the
sub-committee on Ways nnd Means,
at Washington, in opposition to the
reciprocity treaty, contains the fol
lowing statement: "Before this re
ciprocity treaty was granted it was a
novelty, and nlmost a wonder, to
find a Hawaiian begging. To-day
you can count them on the streets."
It was indeed a novelty to find a
Hawaiian begging before tho treaty,
and has been and continues to be as
great n novelty since the treaty. To
a man at Washington it may be an
easy thing to count in imagination
scores of beggars in the streets of
Honolulu, but to those who walk
those streets daily beggars arc in
visible. Becauso why? Because
they are not there.
