' On Treaties.
t
EOITOH BtLI.KTlM
TLo Star takes the Holomua to
' task for iutiinatiug that a rupture
1 botweeti President Cleveland and
thu Provisional Government of Ha
waii might lead to the abrogation of
the Reciprocity treaty. Tho editor
of the atar, in a shower ol that sti-
perlativo "Milliugsgato" in which he
'9 loVJll3' "val''l replies that tho
President "has no power to make or
nbrouato troaties, without tho ad
' vice, consent and co-operation of the
.Sonate." This is no reply to tho
, postulate of tho Holouiua, nor to
i tho actual facts of the cae. Tho
I treaty is in tho nature of a partner
; ship which expires by ellluxion of
time, antl one year's notice from
, either government at the present
time could terminate it. In the
event of a rupture between tho two
Koteriimcutp, such as that which
Hawaii seems to be hankering after,
tliuru would lie nu abrupt termina
tion of the treaty the moment diplo
matic relations were severed, espe
cially as tho American Admitiistra
tiouis well aware which section of
' this community would suffer most
by the change. Tho President has
the power to notify Hawaii that in
one year the treaty will end. Ho
would simply inform both Houses of
, Cougro--. of "the fact, and there tho
matter would end, unless tho Star
I could wield a bigger Congressional
! pull than is at present in sight.
One might suppose from tho re
marks of the .Star that the President
and Senate possess tho sole control
otor treaties. This is tho view ex
prosicd by the P. (J. organs from
tho moment that the annexation
idea took ahape, and the "commis
sioners" rushed oil in haste to Wash
ington as tho proud owners of a
kingdom. Let us see tho legal
uroutid 011 which they stood. Hie
Constitution of the United Stales
confided the treaty-making power to
two branches of Uie ordinary legis
lature; the President originating aud
the Senate having a negative. To
what Mtlijects this power extends
has not been defined in detail by the
Constitution, uud American authori
ties on constitutional law are not en
tirely ugreod as to the extent lo
which the House of Uoprcboulativcs
can lie ignored, it is contended by
soitiu authorities that by the general
power to make treaties the Constitu
tion must have intended to compre
hend only those subjects which were
usually regulated by treaty a ecu-
' tiny ago, lho reciprocity treaty of

Nothing can be more plum and
' explicit 011 the question of whether
I the Hoiiho of ICepreseulatives had
I tho right lo a vuto on that treaty,
containing its it did clauses appro-
printing a large sum of money, tliau
the rules of the IIoiiko. Kufe 70 of
the House of Itepresetitatives was
framed to uieel such cases. It says:
"The committee on appropriations
shall not include appropriations for
carrying info rjlivt treaties made by
the United States, uud wheti an ap
propriation hill shall ho referred lo
them for their coiinideratioii which
contains appropriations for carrying
:i I a treaty into ellect, and lor oilier
' objects, thev shall propose such
"" I amoiidiuc tits'as shall prevent appro-
priatioun for carrying a treaty into
otToc'l being included in the same
bill with appropriations for other
objects." Another rule provides
that an item in an appropria
tion bill for carrying out a treaty,
which has been committed by the
House, will be in order and cannot
bo challenged by committee of the
whole.
I Here in an express proviso against
! mixing up expenditure on treaties,
which are not yet law, with other
I expenditure; while a treaty "com
i nutted by tho House" may have the
. ni'censury provision for carrying it
out included in the appropriation
bill.
Where Congress is in doubt aud
in want of n precedent, the practice
of the Itritish Parliament is general-
i ly followed. In Kuglaud a treaty is
I ti lcgilntie act and must go lie fore
'both UotiM'sof Parliament where it
touches the law of the laud. All
I appropriations of money must ori-
' giuiite in the House of Commons,
and may be rejected but cannot be
altered by the Lords. Therefore if
1 llrili.oli precedent was to iullueuce
' the novel puipo.ouls of I'resitleiil
I Harnxon's treaty for the annexation
I of Hawaii, the items of expenditure,
aud coiifciiiiciitly the whole scheme,
would have fallen through for waul
1 of ratification by the House of He-
preMiniatoe.o, which alone controls
the appropriation of money.
i An acl of Parliament was ueces-
sarv to alidate the American treaty
I of ITS,-! and in turn it was dealt with
by both Houses of Congress.
Annexation of the piratical and
lililiuoiering variety is doomed to
wait for the seaou that shall pro-
I duce complete unanimity between
I'li'.oldeiit, House and Senate.
