Mr. Thurston assumed in the Legislature to-day that the paying of Government employees at the end of the month depended on the appointmout of a now Cabinet. The fact is the enabling Act for the pa' meut of salaries did not run past September 30, and thoro is no autho rity to pay them until the Appro priation Bill is passed. This cannot possibly be done beforo the end of this month anyway. Those respon sible for the delay are tho politicians who sprung tho vote of want of con fidence on tho Legislature, largely, if not chiefly, so that tho Ministry should not have credit for tho policy of retrenchment they wore ready to submit. A CONSTITUTIONAL BRIEF. "Tho Constitution" is tho title of a lawyer's brief in this morning's; Advertiser.' It opens with tho broad statement that "tho Hawaiian Con stitution of 1887 introduced in its entirety tho systom of ministerial responsibility which has grown up in England by tho slow process of centuries, and which has served as tho typo of constitutional liberty for almost all tho nations of Europe." The articlo goos on to maintain, in effect, that tho precedents of Eng land's unwritten Constitution aro authoritative in construing Hawaii's written Constitution. This conten tion goos too far altogether. Ample proof can be furnished in our Su premo Court Reports that our writ ton law does not run beyond either its obvious or construed intent. Tho limited scope of tlio common law in this kingdom is evidence against tho contention in question, at least in its full significance. Some States of the American Union adopted tho Eng lish common law at tho outset, as it ran in tho Colonial days, but these States in voluminous instancos havo enacted laws to supersede the com mon law. The common law of one day is likewise superseded by the legislation of tho next day in Eng land itself. Even tho unwritten Con stitution of England is subject to sudden changes. Tho conditions lead ing up to such changes aro usually of slow, almost imperceptible growth, but tho precedent that frequently remains binding for an indoiinito time is made in a moment. Leaving aside such precedents as aro made by the Executive and which become binding if followed by a succeeding Executive, it is enough to say that thoro is no constitutional limit to tho power of tho Euglish Parlia ment. Parliament can wipo out tho monarchy to-morrow and establish a republic, and tho act will bo con stitutional so far as that goes. If England should adopt a written Constitution to-day, it would prob ably contain soino limitations on this supreme power of Parliament. Tho Hawaiian Constitution liko the Constitution of the United States is , a writton one. And liko that of tho Unitod States it strictly limits tho powers of tho Executive, tho Legis lative, tho Judiciary. 'When thoro is any question raised as to the true in tent of tho instrument, it is decided by tho Supreme Court by the same principles of construct ion as would bo omployed in tho case of statute law. English procodontis only cited when thoro appears to bo nothing in tho contoxt or circutnstaucos which is adoquato to solvo tho original iutont of tho instrument. But American precedent has boon cited as authori tatively when it has fitted an omorg ouoy, Part of our Constitution is jvon tnkon bodily from (ho United itntos Constitution. In viow of those facts, what nonsense is it to ay that tho written Constitution of Hawaii must bo construed by tho unwritten Constitution of England! Tlio Advertiser's attorney is un fortunate, however, in his applica tion of English precedent to our present situation. His sweeping jlaim that this kingdom is under English law in respect to ministerial responsibility carries him much further than ho would probably be willing to go. Without splitting hairs as to details of procedure, it is admitted that our written Constitu tion requires the retirement of a Ministry upon a vote of want of confidence passed by a majority of the elective members of tho Legisla ture. Although tho provision is only a negative olio, forbidding the Sovereign to rotnovo a Ministry ex cepting upon such a vote, still in tho nature of things no Ministry would delay resigning thoir commis sions after tho Legislature had voted want of confidonco in thein. A voto of want of confidence is tho only reason why Ministors should retire or bo removed in Hawaii oxcopt voluntarily, or in case of impoach niont or conviction of felony. In England a Ministry is oxpocted to resign or olso appeal to tho country under other circumstances. Tho defeat of an important ministerial measure has tho same effect as a direct voto of want of confidence. When thoro is irroconcilablo dis sension in tho Cabinet which becomes public is another recog nized cause for tlio rotiromout of a Ministry. Such an exhibi tion as was mado by tho Koform Ministry horo in 1890 would bo impossible in England. Tho dif ferences between Mr. Thurston and Mr. Ashford would havo had to bo composed in Cabinet councils, or tho whole Ministrv should havo surren dered their commissions to tho King. In any of tho cases montioned, how ever, tho English Ministry has an option to avoid resigning which has been mentioned, already. That is, they may advise tho Sovereign to dissolve Parliament, so that they may appeal to tho people in a gen eral election. If our writton Con stitution, as tho brief under review states, "does not protend to recito everything which is necessary to give effect to its provisions," and "the methods of administering this S3'S tem" in European countries and "above all" in "England must bo authoritative for Hawaii," then there will probably novor bo a case more peculiarly calling lor tho English appeal to the people than the present deadlock in Hawaii. Wo aro not advocating such an appeal, remember, as wo boliovo it is hotter to keep within tho terms of our written Constitution. Tho espouse of a general election is too groat, and its disturbance of business too serious, to make us readily advocate oven tho insortion of such a pro vision in tho Constitution as would givo a Ministry tho power of dis solving tho Legislature, especially when our Legislature's term is only two years against tho English Par liament's seven. Tho key to Ministerial responsi bility in England is that tho Ministry is responsible to Parliament and Parliament again directly to tho people by tho practice of having a dissolution of Parliament when Min istors think that tho majority in Parliament does not represent tho majority of tho people. Again, this test of tho confidonco of tho people and Parliament in tho Ministry as a wholo is supplemented by tho fact that Ministers, while holding office, must bo members of Parliament of either HousOj and if of tho elective branch must submit to an individual tost of tho reliance of tho people in thorn by resigning and being re elected by thoir constituents as members of tho Ministry. Neither of these foundation stones of tho "system of Ministerial responsibility which has grown up in England" havo boon introduced horo by tho Constitution of 1887. Both by di rect constitutional nnd legal pro vision and by implication thoy aro excluded from being brought into actiou, tho clause providing for a dissolution of tho Legislature in tho old Constitution having boon do liboratoly omitted in tho now. Tho premise upon which tho Advert isor bases its dissertation having been thus shown to bo absolutely uutruo, it is scarcely necessary to follow up its tangled wob of half-truths and misstatements in order to show that tho Queen reigns horo strictly ac cording to tho constitutional limits with which tho act of 1887 sur rounded tho Sovereign. "Tho Man Who Eats Chiefs."' Editor Bulletin: Tho misinterpretation in tho P. C. Advertiser's insinuation of this morning on Kaaialii, ono of tho char acters in tho "Wooing of Kaala," is roalistio of its nature and character istics. Kuaialii does not njoan "the man who oats chiefs," but it means "tho royal food" or "tho chief's food," and might bo translated frooly, "who oats with tho chiefs." Pooh-Bah. Oct. 21, 1892. MISS ARMSTRONG'S SUICIDE. Sho Lost Her Fortune in Throo Bays at Monto Carlo. London, Sopt. 11. Pnrliculnrs havo been received horo of the sui cide of Miss .lane Armstrong of Now York after sho had lost a fortune at Monto Carlo. Miss Armstrong was an orphan, 20 years old. Sho sailed from Now York early in August, nnd, after having visited friends in Triosto, wont to Vontimiglia, about twenty miles from Nice. Sho first wont to tho Casino at Monto Carlo on Sopt. 8. Sho played insanely tho first day, and won l(H),(XK) francs on tho "twenty-four." Sho was so possessed of tho desire to try hor luck again that sho stopped wi ' acquaintan ces over night at a hotel near by, that sho might begin playing as soon as possible on tlio following day. As on the first day tho "twenty-four" uuu vim ma imiu iii aia'i;uaaiuii ".uo.-iiw.., to piny omnmed Miss Armstrong continued it. and lost heavily, bho roi at tho table from midday to mid night, and quit it $200,000. losor. On tho third day sho recovered what sho had lost and left the Ca sino, saying that sho was ill and would novor play tho game again. Sho returned, however, and began bottintr on the "twenty-four." She lost steadily until hor wholo fortune of 5250,000 was gone. As tho crou pier took in hor last gold coin sho roso and loft tho Casino. To an ac quaintance, who mot hor at tho door and remarked on her paleness, sho said that sho had lost all, and was going to friends in Trieste, who would see that sho got back to tho United States. Sho did not no to Triesto, however, but shot herself in a room in a villa at Vontimiglia. Tho usual effort was mado at Monto Carlo to suppress tho news, and tho report was sent out that tho Miss Armstrong who had killed her self was an elderly lady who had left Monto Carlo for Triesto soino days boforo, and had committed sui cide there. Two men, said to bo Englishmen, who had lost all their money at tho Casino, sprang into tho sea on tho night of Miss Arm strong's suicide. Those suicides also aro denied by tlio Monto Carlo peo ple.
