THE PROJECTED RAILROAD TO WAIKIKI. Basing our calculations on the latest information, the credibility of which we do not question, we ex pect ere many moic months havo passed to sec a railroad constructed between Honolulu and Wnikiki, and cars regularly running on it between the two places. At latest advices the rails and other material were being prepared for shipment in Eng land. After arrival here no time will be lost in laying down the lails and putting the cars in motion. Tho constructor! of this work will for a time furnish employment to quite a number of mechanics and laborers, and its commencement will be hailed with gratification by the unemployed. Its completion will not only bo a boon to the peoplo re siding at Waikiki and along the route of travel, but will probably have the effect of greatly increasing tho popu lation in that direction. Many peoplo would prefer the seaside as a place pf residence wlio cannot afford tho expense of n liorso and enniage, to tako tlicm to and fro. Kailway or linmway connection, with cheap fares, will obviate the difllculty. .So wo expect a perceptible increase of homesteads out that way. Tho company which has under taken this enterprise will not, how ever, have to rely holcly, and per haps not mainly, on this class of patronage for the support of the line. Individuals and families will undoubtedly avail themselves freely of this cheap and easy means of ac cess to see air and sea bathing, es pecially during moonlight evenings. A well-appointed hotel at the Walkikl terminus would be an at tractive adjunct for patrons of tho latter class. This, no doubt, will not bo long in coming after the cars begin to travel ; if, indeed, it docs not appear as soon as tlicy. RESPONSIBILITY AI1D REPRE SENTATION. Ennou Uui.i.r.iiN: The construc tion which the Allorney-Guncral puts upon the provisions of the new Constitution involves si serious mis application of language in his use of the words "lesponsible Govern ment." While thankful, as we all may well be, for the good that lias been accomplished by tho Itefoim movement, the policy pursued by the leaders of the Reform Party is certainly open to criticism to their discredit in more than one instance. The clamor of these people for popular political rights seems to have been in some few cases only the means of securing the supposed per sonal interests of a clique, too small to be called a league. Added to the feeling of irritation and distrust, which such apparent, insincerity awakens, is the rudeness, almost insolence, with which those are tieated, who may have favors to ask, or who venture to question the reasonableness of the convictions which to these people aic so clear. "These people'' are not "the peo ple" of the Islands. Their idea of lesponsible government seems to be such a style of government by them selves, that they can call other peo ple to account for presuming to have ideas and wishes different from theirs. But responsibility does not mean power to compel otheis to do what wc wish tliem to do. The construction put upon Article 48, and so vehemently supported by these people, seems to other folks an after-thought, devised to meet a sudden emergency. It is not w hat was proposed and adopted. The dissenting Judge in differing fiom the opinion recently given by the Supreme Court says that the grant ing of a veto power to the King would be an obstacle to the secur ing of civil lights; and therefore intciprets the Constitiltion as nulli fying any such veto power. This is peiilously like the Jesuitical doc trine that the end justifies the means. The Committee of thirteen, who fiamed the Constitution, and gave Kalakaua the veto power, most probably took the risk of conferring such a right. Now, because they cannot inlliet a penalty on the King for not doing as they want him to do, these people think that they have not secured "responsible gov ernment." Then they said a Ha waiian soveieign: now, they say a Hawaiian puppet. Aitielc 18 comes under the exception mentioned in Article 78, "unless otherwise express ed," for itbay&expicssly,if.tho King "approve he shall sign." The "ad vice and consent of the Cabinet" is not essential to his appioval, which is and must be his individual act. The leaders of the Reform Party ought to stand by their own acts. They gave the King the veto power ; let them not risk the imputation of inconsistency and insineciity by whitlling evasions to escape the con sequences of the enactments they themselves proposed and secured. It is these people who aie doing their best to destroy the principle of responsibility by refusing to be bound by their own acts. We call a man responsible, when we can assume that he will fulfil agreements that he has made, or obligations he has assumed. Other wise no person and no government is to be ti usted. Ii responsible peo plc,liko lunatics, aie not to bo tiust ed: for we don't know,caiinotjudgc, what they will say or do next. The Hawaiian people were held responsi ble for the acts of their authorized agents in negotiating the English loan. The lesponsibility could not honorably be denied. The charges for expenses may have been out rageous. Yet such a bill was an obligation to be met, and it ought to have been honorably met by a special appropriation outside ol any realizations accruing from furnish ing the bonds as lequired by the terms ot the law authorizing the loan. Instead of this, an arrangement of questionable legality was allowed topass,becauseall parties wanted to get out of the mess as speedily as possible, and save the credit of the country. But power to punish other people for not doing what wo want them to do is not the essential idea ol "res ponsible government." That means, rightly understood, a government ti no to the fundamental idea of all good government, the general good of the body politic sought in fair and equitable ways. The leelings and welfare of tho peoplo, not of a party upr a cliqiie,ought to be para mount in determining the adminis tration of public affairs in every responsible constitutional represent ative government. Wo ought to have such n government in .theso islands, ono that fairly represents all classes and all intciesls in the community. The present go eminent is a vast improvement over any that wo hao had before, but it is not above criti cism or amendment. The idea of representation isas important as that of responsibility. A government of sugar planters for these islands is not "a government of the people oy tho people for the peoplo." The preponderance in any fair representa tion should undoubtedly be In the hands of those who havo most at stake in tho welfare of the country, and who can bo. trusted to act honor ably as well ns wisely. Wc acknow ledge the ability and value or the mercantile clement. But which is the more important clement, pro perty or manhood? If wc want the best possible government, wc imrst have the highest possible manhood as its foundation. If the govern ment is to be trusted and respected, as fully responsible for tho situation and its eincigcncics, all its acts must be the cxpiession of an intelli gent and honorable manhood. Neither shifty expedients and ques tionable assumptions, nor childish whimises and extravagances, should be allowed or defended. Tho 11a wniians aic too irresponsible as a idle in matters of daily business. They arc not reliable. The govern ment should not be characterized by any such want of fidelity to its en gagements. But it docs not need English party discipline and paity whips to give us responsible, repre sentative, constitutional, ministerial government. Tnc picsunt Cabinet is composed of gentlemen of honor and probity, a selection of representative men that could not well be impiovcd upon. But the policy they aro ask ed to pursue should be straightfor ward and consistent. The 'people do not wane lawyers' tricks to gain the case for their client; but a manly, honorable, consistent ad ministration of affaiis that will com mend itself to every upright man who wishes well to Hawaii nci.
