CIVIL GOVERNMENT
, j . , ; .
Hon. C. M.Idlernan, Ex-Attorney General Delivers Inter
esting Discourse Before Women's Club In City -Hall
Yesterday Large Crowd Present
(From Sunday' Daily.)
CiTil Government " was the j theme
of a very excellent address delivered
before the Woman's Club in the city
hall, yesterday afternoon, by the Hon.
C. if. Idleman. A small but very ap-
attorney-general and listened to bin re
marks with the - -closest attention
throughout. - i ,
t He said in part: I
IIow to best govern the human rare
remains a problem unsolved, and will
so remain .until all of the nations and
all of the peoples of the earth shall
have reached sue a a stage of intel
lectual development that eaeh individ
ual , shall understand and- : interpret
every proposition precisely the same.;
"This, is not enough, it must be
coupled with sufficient wisdom to ree
ogoize and know that which is right,
and at the same time be accompanied
by sufficient moral courage to carry
into execution.
.... "This undoubtedly is theoretical
and. chimerical and "may never be real
ized, yet the principle is the correct
.one, and in conception has been the
means of all material development in
the science of government, and alwavs
will be the inducement for future ad-j
-vancement. -
- "Until the individual as a member
e A nvoke Yf
yVi 7 . ,
fellow man, power must be the dom-j
. .k . ....V a ... aw 1 n MALAWI m An.
-One or the principal objects
of
civil government is the protection of
the personal and property rights of the
subjects, and in order that this may
be accomplished, in order that the
, and punished, power must be lodged
somewhere within the - provisions of a
government to carry this into effect.
-"There are other functions of gov
ernment, however, which are neeessary
in this advanced aire, and which the
commercial and intellectual develop
ment of the people have made neeea
sary and which were unknown to the
earlier civilizations.
"In the first' formation of govern
ment power was the dominating prin
ciple.
"Reason had not; yet ripened, the
higher and broader principles or Hu
manity . had not been developed, re
straint was necessary and the rule that
might make right was the universal
creed of all covernment.
"Absolute monarchy is the form of
government best calculated to carry
this principle into effect. Under this
form of government, all personal and
-' iu- . . V . lrti
mediately under the protection or dis
position of the ruler. His word is the
law.
"lie possesses supreme and unlim
ited authority and any and all personal
rights enjoyed by the people, must em
inate from, and be handed down to,
the .individual from him. " -
"If a comparison might be made of
this authority, with the power exercised
by our government, it would be as fol
lows: The monarch would -"represent
the United States congress, the United
States supreme court, the president and
all of the power of the people, with
the additional right of vetoing him
self, overruling himself, dissent from
his own opinions and refusing to carry
into execution his own decree, without
the fear of being beaten by a packed
convention or losing his job at the
next general election. "
"It is difficult for the individual
born and raised under our form of gov
ernment, where all of the power and
authority is lodged in the people, to
realize the concentration of power of
such magnitude in one person or ruler,
however, where the sword is the final
arbitrator, where the creed practised is
that might makes right,' this is the
most effectual of all governments.
"It is the concentration of power,
the directing and executing -from oue
central point, the elimination of all
red tape and the most pronounced ami
simplified manner for the speedy execu
tion of law. '
-it is however, as dangerous to Tne
liberties of the subject as .it is power- j
ful and speedy in the execution of take
law, and for-its existence it depends
upon the ignorance and the credulity
of the subject.
"If is the earliest form or govern
ment of which we have anything like
an authentic account, and was in active
operation ia Egypt before Abraham
visited that country, and exercised
many principles in the administration
of government which were off high or
der loug before Moses delivered the
ten commandments to the children if
Israel.
"The delivery of this creed by this
greatest of-all military captain and
legislators was the first substantial
basis for government. The first in
which morality and decency were to
be administered by force and power.
,"I ear not whether these grat
fundamental truths were written by the
band of the Almighty and personally
delivered to this great leader, amid
smoke and thunder and lightening and
the quake of Mount 8aini, nevertheless
they are so marvellous, so wonderful in
-their wisdom and truth, and have had
such an effect upon the civilization of
the world, as to warrant the belief
that they are of more than human
origin, r ' " f ' '
"For more than thirty-five hundred
years they have, formed - the basis of
"that which was intrinsically right in
government, and much of that which is
to be found upon-the statute books of
every civilized nation of the world to-'
day.. - -'" , I ;
' These rules and laws said down by
this great legislator, while molding and
bringing to a higher conception the
principles of right and justice, nave
not vet been fully realized. , I .
"They go far beyond us today in
many of the great problems f truth,
and in their fulfilment no one can say,
I have observed all the law. ; .
Absolutism has ever had, however,
one--stubborn effectual enemy, that of
intelligence, : and 1 as the people have
progressed in knowledge and civiliza
tion, there has been developed a 'def
inite and fixed purpose to obtain more
freedom and liberty for -the individual.
"At -first, although feebly and faint
lv it proelaimed against this right-of
domination over the will of the sab
iect, -as well as-over bis person! and
property rights, stronger and stronger
it grew until it protested against the
principle of the divine tight of kings,
irrlieatiBg, then requesting, and then
deriandin g that this unbridled power
of the ruler be curtailed and elimin
ated and that the Individual have eer
taia 'prescribed rights over, his own. '
. "Interesting and fascinating as it
is, it would be j impossible as well as
i3i practicable at this time to follow
these two principles through the past
centuries ior tne struggle ior mastery.
'The world has beea their battle
ground, their Victims have Wen mil
lions upon milions, and the historians
or ancient and medieval times have
done little but to chronicle these sav
age butcheries. S ...
"Thousands upon thousands of hor
rible tragedies have been played by
the glaring light of magnificent- cities
on tire, orebastraed with tne fierce and
hideous war cry, mellowed and tern
pered only by the moans of the wound
ed and dying, i
"But we turn from this hideous pic
ture and contemplate with some satis
faction at least tho result. This has
alwavs been upon the side of intelli
trance and azainst that of absolute
nower.
"Hkr.v and with measured tread it
has marched' onward and onward in
its invasion, winning one victory aftet
another.
"It has encroached again and again
l upon the royal prerogative, until mon-
... . ., - -th orm Ci
hrovcrnment created in which the sub-
jwt enjovs some of the fruits wuicb
,. J- h wroueht. and are
sence
-n - -
known as limited monarchies.
"Onward again this encroachment
proceeds, and without stopping to re
cord the different steps and victories
gained over absolutism we have an
other form of government involved in
which the people have as much to saj
in the administration of power as tbt
ruler: this is a constitutional mon
j archy, and so effectual, so persistent
ha been the march oi intellectual oe
velopment in the past few eenturief
that the monarchs of Europe today
1ave ben forced to surrender all theii
power to the people.
"This is literally tJe .with but .oaf
exception and this great potentate, thi
ri.ler by divine right, now sits upon
his wrecked throne hiding his pallio
fa-e behind his bloody hands, issuing
edicts which are not obeyed.
"On again this encroachment pro
ccds, until it has finally wrested all
powfr from the ruler and is taken pos
session of by the people, and the ofB
cers and administrators of the law ex
erelne such power as the people ia
their sovereign capacity choose to
grant.
"This creates a form of government
known as a republic or representative
democracy. .
"Many centuries have been required
to bring about this result, but it hat
been accomplished, and the principle
of government reversed; all the powei
of absolutism once exercised by tb
monarch is now in this county, in thi
Unifed States of America, for the first
time exercised-by all the people.
"This, however, has not all beer
broug-ht- about by the people arrayec
on the one side, against monarchy or
the other, for in fact some of the mop
archs themselves have assisted ir
brinzinz about their own limitation oi
power, and others have voluntarily sur
remierea many rignis 10 ine peopie.
4 One of the first monarChs to sow
the seeds of democracy was King Al
fred the Great; he may not have been
conscious at the time that he was do
ing more than that which seemed tc
him righteous and just for his sub
jects, tox this was always foremost. in
the mind of this most worthy of all
Saxon rulers.
44 In his anxiety for the good of hif
people, more than a thousand years ago,
he issued a proclamation to the, effect
that youths of all the freemen of hi
kingdom should le taught to translate
the best of books into a language they
could understand and to be taught the
Latin language.
" This was one of the first efforts
for -universal education, for universal
enlightenment, and it was the nrst
proclamation in its fruits directed
against absolutism.
" What the -direct effect oi tne pro
mulgation of this doctrine may have
had upon the people at that time, we
have ,no mean of knowing, but its
results are most potent'.
Enlitrhtcnment and intellectual ; de
velopment of' the Anglo-Saxon race
have ever been most dangerous to the
exercise of unrestricted domination. In
fact, it is this race which has made
possible the problem of individual lib
erty. "We find this same principle of im
provement and development advocated
by King Alfred growing and bearing
fruit among this same people, and first
taking substantial form, a few hun
dred years thereafter at the battle of
Rnnnttnede, when King John was
forced to surrender to the people many
important and substantial rights.
4 4 Developing still further it brought
about the great commonwealth of Eng
land, drove her monarch from the
throne, called a tribunal, beheaded him,
and gave a constitution to England.
14 Without stopping to discuss this
great event in the-history of the Eng
lish people, it must be admitted that
the effect produced njon the world was
most potent and that its nltimate fruits
were the declaration of independence
and the formation of this government.
"I am not sure," however, but
Charles IT, upon coming to the throne
after the downfall of the common
wealth, by his infamous treatment of
those who were engaged in its npboild-;
ing, did not contribute nearly as mnch;
by establishing a venomous and bitter
hatred for monarchy, as had been done
by Cromwell in, giving a taste of lib-1
erty. " ' " ' --k 1 :
" However this may be, most of those
coming from England to this count rr
about that time had a most vivid recol
lection that Charles I had been right
eously, beheaded, that liberty was pos
sible even among a people that nad
been born and bred and saturated ' in
the dogmas of -the divine right; of
kings, and that Charles II was a mon-j
arch te be despised."

ABOUT NATURAL DEATH.

That Strychnine Was Cause of Mrs.

HOXOL.ULU, Iarch 17. Edmund

Murray and Ilumphris, have' signed a
statement replying to Prof. Jordan and
Timothy Hopkins, who' recently an
nounced their conclusions that- the
death of Mrs. Wanaord was due to
natural causes. They characterize the
statement of thoe-gentlemen as as
tonishing, and reiterate their finding
that st ry en nine was the cause of the
death. "Thej- say that the publication
of the Jordan-Hopkins opinion makes
it incumbent upon them to reply, and
they give the following reasons why
the death nitiSt have resulted from
strychnine poisoning:
1. Mrs. Stauford- died during a
characteristic strychnine convulsion
which was seen by Its. Humpbris and'
Murray. j
2. A post-mortem showed- rigidity'
identical with that peculiar to cases
of this class of poisoning.
3. The pot -mortem revealed no
other cause of death, from any affec
tion of the stomach or intestines.
They contained no undigested food,
and were in a healthy condition.
4. The post-mortem confirmed in
every "re?peet the evidences jut authen
ticated cases of strychnine "poisoninc,
and these, combined wiMi the fact that
strychnine was found in the bicarbon
