Labor and Population.

The generally expressed opinion is that the
problem of population will be solved with the
solution of the labor question. If the whole
area of this group of islands is to be divided
into large sugar estates, and each estate imports
its contract laborers from the quarter of the
lay-and this will be the governing motive-the
opinion is perhaps correct one, But viii the
population thus massed be the foundation upon
which to base hopes for the upbuilding of a new
empire? VIII not such a society consist of but
two classes-the very rich, or their representa-
tives, and the very poor, without that element of
society upon which the prosperity Of State
mainly depends, the great middle class? We
shall have, under such a condition of affairs
mere handful comparatively, Of very wealthy es-
tate owners, an aristocracy of wealth, and q very
large number of poverty-strieken untutored la
boreTs, aud as necessity growing out of such
condition of society an oligarchical form Of gov
eminent under which, in this period of the worlds
history, have my doubts whether it is possible
for a State to rise to any eminence, much less TO
become the centre from which shall radiate an
influence for the civilization of the Pacific.
We are told that We have no lands to offer to
immigrants, that our territory is held by few
proprietors in large districts running from the
sea TO the mountain tops, which can not be
proftably separated and cut up into sections.
Then the new corners can not hope to be land
holders but serfs, their condition to be mitigated
under the influence of our superior civilization.
The glorious and prosperous State" which we
are to build, the sails of whose commerce are
to whiteu the Pacific" is to rear its pillars upon
the cornerstone Of serldom. Verify, had
thought that such visions and dreams were for
ever dssipated by the logic OF events" in the
United States between the years 1860 and 1864.
There be those who believe that reforms are
needed in the treatment of our native labor
ers, that if carried out, we have no such imme-
date and pressing need of imported laborers as
we are led to believe. Again some. while willing
to admit the need of reforms, say that to wait
for reform is to invite ruin, that the immediate
introduction Of more labor is a dire necessity.

Mr.. EDITOR: In my former letter l took a
hasty glance at some of the evils that threaten
our existence as a nation, and since that was
written, two other persons, while writing on La
Dor and Population, have incidentally touched
part Of the same subject. | can not agree with
these writer's either that the question of popua-
ton should take precedence of labor or that the
question is exclusively one for the statesman,
because the introduction of labor solves, pro
td1it0 the question of recruiting the population
from foreign source, and not only that, but, if
imported to a sufficient extent, 1t would afford
the means of remedying every evil enumerated
in my last letter. When it was found desirable
to make the West India Islands and the South
ern States of America productive, negroes were
forcbly taken to labor on their plantations
those negroes were the germ of the present
aboring population or proletariate of those coun-
tries That method of procuring labor and pop
uation has passed away, never, it is to be hoped,
to be revived; bat we now see laborers by
thousands, free men, carried willingly from one
part Of the world to another, wherever their
services may be required. When the term of
their contracts is completed, if they have
been well treated, some will naturally renew
them, while others, more enterprising, will seek
to enter into business on their own account, and
so add to the population aud prosperity of the
country. This, l belivee, will be found to be
the true solution Of the problem now before US;
we can see that it is in small way, already in
operation here, although it is, and must be, very
slow in its development. Many of our small
storekeepers and artisans, as well as the market
gardeners. are of the cooIe class who have faith
fully fulfilled their obligations. and have now be-
come to all intents and Purposes permanent and
worthy members of the community.
The great desidenta are, first, that there
should be a suficiency of labor to carry on large
operations efficiently, and second that facilities

Cruelty 10 Animals.

We have before spoken of the unneces-
sary cruelty sometimes exercised towards
animals in shipping them on board OF our
coasters from the various landings from
which they are taken for transportation
to Honolulu. We have seen but little,
comparatively, of this business, but the
little we have seen has been sufficient to
impress us with the idea that if we had a
Bergh amongst us who would make it his
business to suppress unnecessary cruelty
to the dumb brutes he would find field
of great usefulness. 1t is fact that at
nearly every point in the Kingdom from
which cattle are procured, difficulties are
presented to shippers which render it
necessary to put animals to more incon-
venience and suffering than humane man
can well look upon without shuddering.
We were glad to observe yesterday
afternoon, before the departure of the
Kilauea, conspicuously posted up in diff
ferent parts of the vessel, notices signed
by the agent, Mr.. Wilder, warning all
persons employed on the steamer against
unnecessary rough handling or cruelty to
live stock, and requesting any witness of
such ill-treatment to report the same to
him. The best of it is, he declares his in
tention to prosecute the offender to "the
extent of the law" This is a step in the
right direction, more particularly so, as it
is well known that Mr.. w. is in the habit
of performing his promises. 1t is to be
hoped that owners and agents of our sail
ing coasters, will follow this good exam
pie and give like warning to those en-
ployed on their vessels. To lash bull:
locks head to the side of boat or scow,
to force him through the surf, and to hoist
him on the deck of vessel which is roll
ing and tumbling about, though at times
necessary, is quite cruel enough, and one
cannot look upon it without plying the
animal. But to see a poor brute
hoisted on board with one or both horns
knocked of, leg broken perhaps, through
is sufficient to raise the indig-
nation of the most Indifferent and hard
hearted spectator.

1t will b. seen that from 1874 to 1869, inclu-
sve, no less than four Presidents were elected By
a minority vote of the people, though they had
the requisite electoral majority. In 1874 Polk
had majority over Clay on the popular vote Of
only 1880, while the Abolition vote to james
G. Brney was 663O4. In ls4s Gen. Taylor had
a majority of about 100000 over Cass, but was
in a minority Of 100000 against the combined
votes Of Cass and Van Buren,. In 1852 Pierce
had but slight majority over the opposition.
In 1856 Buchanan was in popular minority as
against Fremont and Fillmore, of nearly 100000,
while in 1860 Lincoln, though having plurality
Of the popular VOTE and majority of the eecto-
rail- was in the minority as against the total vote
of Douglas, Bell and Breckenridge. The total
popular vote cast for President in 1886 was
sol, 29s. In 1868 it was 5,7l6,6ss, having
nearly quadrupled in thirty-two years. When
we take into account the addition to our voting
population since 1868, by the passage of the
Fifteenth Amendment, the removal OF the dis
abilities of large number of Southern rebels,
and the natural growth OF the country, we shall
expect total vote at the Presidential election
of 100000.

WE trust that the subject of F" Labor
and Population" which indeed, is a most
important one to this Kingdom, will be
thoroughly ventilated by the able writers
who have taken hold of the subject, and
that in the end harmonious and united ac-
ton may be taken to secure both from the
right source We trust for instance, that
La Paz will tell us where labor and popu-
lation are to come from with as much GER
tainty as he has told us of the origin of
the Polvnesian races

Death of Mrs. FideIia G. Coan.

BY the last mail from Hawaii the sad intelli-
gence was received of the death of Mrs. Coan,
wife of the Rev. Mr.. Coan of Hilo For several
weeks this intelligence has been looked for, in
deed, it was hardly expected that she would have
reached the islands, while on her return from the
United States, more than one year ago. After
the fatigue of the journey by land and sea, she
revived while enjoying the quiet of her beautiful
home and the most assduous care of loving ones.
During these closing months disease has been
gradually removing one prop after another, until
finally on Sabbath afternoon, Sept. 29th the spi-
rit took its flight Her consciousness was re-
tanned until the last, when
"a light from far illumes her f,ce, a light
That comes beyond the moon, beyond the sum-"
and assures all that she is passing from world
of sorrow to of joy, where " all tears will be
wiped away"
Mrs. F. G. Coan was born in Riga, New York,
Feb II, 1910, and hence was 81 years old. AT
ter acquiring finished education she engaged
in teaching, in which employment she acquitted
herself remarkably we'll Soon after her mar
rage with the Rev. Mr. Coan, she embarked for
these islands and Hilc became her home, where
she has lived since 1885, discharging, the duties
of wife, mother, missionary, neighbor, friend, in a
manner to win the love, esteem and respect of
ALL Her home has been one where many from
the sea and foreign lands have received such a
welcome as they will never forget, How often
we have heard officers of the British and U. s.
Navy refer to the cordial welcome they received
from Mrs. Coan As missionary help-meet 10
her husband, during bis remarkable career of use
funess, she labored most untiringly and accept
ably OF her it might most truthuly be said,
" The heart of her husband doth safely trust IN
her,"
She came h;her, in the distinctive character
of missionary, and as such her life will bear the
closest scrutiny. For many years she taught a
school for Hawaiian females, while her labOrs as
associated with her husband as the pastor of tn
largest church on the islands, were unwearied, |
aud admirably adapted TO the condition of the |
native and foreign population of the district of
Hio.
1t is quite noteworthy that Mrs. Judd and |
Mrs. Coan shonld have passed away SO near each |
other. They we're both women of noble impulses,
finished education, fine culture and christian ex-
perience, most nOby have they accomplished the
work for which they came to these islands.
Through long course of years they have faith
fully stood in their assigned positions, and now
that they have passed away, their memories will
be exceedingly precious to wide circles of surviv
ing friends S. c. D.

passionately-every one being alike inter
ested in solving the problems it presents
should have the night freely to express
his views notwithstanding those views
may differ from those of Others Every
suggestion made, either wise or unwise,
does its share of good by inducing thought
in other minds. 1t is true that it is some
times unpleasant to be disagreed with on
matters of great importance, most men
are more or less intolerant in this respect.
1t is no less true that fair, candid and
gentlemanly discussion of a subject be-
tween those who honestly disagree, is
more apt to lead TO just and wise con-
clusion than no discussion at all, and GER
tainly much more apt to do so than when
the gag is attempted to be used by the
party which either may be or may con-
slider itself to be the strongest. Vitupera-
ton and what is called "bounce" never
vet, as we believe, made one willing or
convert to any cause-from self
interest or through fear men have appa-
rently changed their views, but from
changes so brought about but little good
has ever accrued to any cause-unless,
perchance, it have been the one from
which the man has been converted.
We repeat, the columns of this paper
are, as they ever have been, open to all
those who wish to express their ideas on
this question. 1t is desirable that all
sides should be heard in order that the
public may be enabled to Judge for them
selves of the merits of the views held by
different persons.

The POPULAR VoTE FOR PREsDEST.-As
among Our American residents, sometimes ques-
tons arise as to the popular vote for President
in the United States for number of years past
we give a table, copied from the San Francisco
Bulletin showing the number Of votes cast Tor the
various candidates since 1886. As nearly all
eligible to vote do so at the presidential elections
the table is also interesting showing the enor-
nous increase of population in that country since
1886: AS matter of reference, interesting as
we are entering into a new political campaign,
we have compiled the popular vote of the country
for President since 1886, giving in the first CO.
lumn the vote for the successful candidate, with
his name. and in the second the vote of the OPP
