The Sandwich Islands-A Place Where
 the Chinese are Wanted.

the Chinese are Wanted
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Mr. Morton, United States consul at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, in a recent dispatch to the Department of State dated November 20, 1879, transmits an extended report of the trade of the Sandwich Islands. He says there has been marked improvement under the reciprocity treaty with the United States. The influx of Chinese la- borers continues, and other emigrants are de- sired to aid in the expansion of the sugar, rice and coffee production. About forty six millions of pounds of sugar were exported last year, an increase of ten million pounds over the preceding year. It goes almost entirely to the refineries of San Francisco. The crop this year is large. The great want of the islands is railroads for the transportation of sugar. The rice raised is mostly for home consumption. Its exportation is decreasing. The coffee crop has been seriously injured of late by blight. It's production has decreased Of the two hundred and one vessels entering the port of Honolulu, one hundred and thirty one bore the United States flag. The public debt of the islands amounts to $402, 200, bear ing seven, nine and twelve per centum inter est.

WOMEN. RPADI

At an executive session Of The Ma
tlonal Woman Suffrage Association,
held in the Judiciary Committees room
Of the United States House ofRepresen-
tatives, after the last Washington Con-
vention, the Association appointed a
delegate from each State and Territory
to attend each Of the three great Presi-
Dental nominating Conventions. It
was also resolved to request each State
and local Woman Suffrage Association
to send delegate TO each nominating
Convention to demand equal rights FOR
women.
Besides holding the Annual National
Woman Suffrage Convention al Indian
apolis, Indiana, May p and 2s, 1850, it
will be seen that the unrepresented half
Of the people have undertaken three
times as much labor as any political
party in the land, since they are prepar-
ing for a full representation and dis
eUssion Of the rights Of women at all OF
the great Presidential Conventions.
The Republican National Convention
will be held at Chicago, June 2d; the
Greenback Labor Convention at Chica-
50, June 9th; the Democratic Conven-
ton at Cincinnati, June 22d.
In carrying out its undertaking, the
National Woman Suffrage Association
asks the immediate and earnest cooper
alton Of every intelligent woman citl-
zen in the United States. You are
asked to read the papers, watch every
political announcement and utterancel
remember that eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty. Talk for suffrage
work for it; pray for it preach for t.
Let nothing daunt you. DO not be
afraid Of your neighbors. The women
in your "set" will favor their eufran-
chisement if you viii only give them
assurance that you are on their side
This is the giant reform Of the age, and
will be a priceless boon to bequeaih tC
your children.
If possible, send 81 each to the Treas,
urer, Mrs. Jane II. Spodord, Riggs
House, Washington, D. c. This sun
entities you to membership in the
National Association for one year
Bear constantly in mind that every line
you write, every word you utter, every
dollar you contribute to advance WOm
an Suffrage, is helping to upliit a CONT
nent to q place Of justice, purity au'
/ freedom.

a THIPn PARTY.

In another column we print a letter
from Mr. o. p. Henry, iu which he
gives his views on various matters. He
is not the only advocate Of third great
party. For instance, the ArgORaUt
wants an American party, so that Glow
born, ignorant foreigners" cannot med
die in our affairs; many infidels want a
liberal party; the Greenbaokers have
almost succeeded in establishing a Ma
iional power Of Importance; the Work
ingmen are making much FUSS and
every faction which cannot direct The
course Of political affairs is anxious to
organize a party that will euable its
prime movers to be National leaders
As all these conflicting elements can
not combine their views, there is no usC
in the attempt, and Woman Suhragist:
think It a good plan TO work with The
parties OF to-day. When the woman
movement can command a majority oi
votes 10 q convention, the support OF the
whole party is assured, because the
American people are coguizant that th,
majority (ofmen) rule. Many believer
in woman's equality are not SO strong
in their convictions as 90 leave theI
party for the sake OF the cause, Whili
the detection OF the more determine,
ones only tends to lessen the chances o
adopting plauks in its favor by the orig
inal parties. We would favor q thir,
party-and would rs readily accept th
name "Peiagion" as any other-d.d 81
not think the principles we are advo
eating could be better disseminate.
through the parties Of the present time
However, We have never objected 4
freedom OF thought and speech, an
therefore wish Mr.. Henry and his friend
to organize a party if they think its ex
istence would be the means Of achieylu
good results.
