Wants the Yellow Flag Taken Down.
 Mr. Michael Fallon, ST., father of Michael Fallon, jr., who has been lying sick at 53 Willard street, with yellow flag on the house, called on us this Thursday morning with certificate from his attending physi- cians Dr. c. W. Shefrey and Dr. J.R. Cum ming stating that ''the case was not varioloid, but simply a rash caused by disordered stomach" It seems the patient, who by the way is young man of twenty five, attended the funeral of friend few days ago. and on his return ate plentifully of onions and clams,-whether cooked or raw. the father did not specify, then washed them down with copious draughts of book beer. The astonished stomach vigorously rebelled at being required to carry such a load, and the result was great smallpox scare with the yellow flag accompaniment. MT. Fallon, sr.. called in to mention the above and added that he was on his way to City Clerk Keat- inoss with the certificate to get the yellow rag taken of the house. =. Bridgeport Standard.

TIE HAWAIIAN SLAVERY QUESTION.


The question whether there is or is not a
system Of labor practically equivalent to
slavery in the Hawaiian Islands, ought to
be capable of definite solution, one would
suppose. Yet fierce discussion has sprung
up over the existence of anything of the
kind, and the denials are at least as posi-
tive as the assertions. Journals which
speak for the planter interest Indignantly
declare that the laborers are thoroughly
well treated on the plantations, and that
all the statements TO the contrary are false
and malicious. The conflict of testimony
at present is so great that it will be neces.
sary to wait for more light before adopting
a conclusion, but IN the mean time it is in
order to point out that the conditions are
of kind to make an abuse of authority on
The part of the planters quite probable.
When white men cultivate staple by the
work of foreigners belonging to what are
regarded as inferior races, there is always a
temptation to practice harshness. And

coMMIssIoNER RAUM,

This person has just performed an act
which ought TO result in his removal from
the Government employ. Less than a
year ago he, as Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, removed an officer in Virginia for
publicly supporting the Readiuster alias
Reputation movement. 1t is now an
nounced that be himself is about to address
Rsadjuster meeting, and he is said to say
In defense of his action that he "goes
"with the tide" Wholly apart from any
question of the morality of the Readjuster
movement, this action Of Commissioner
Raum is most outrageous. For it shows
him to belong to the worst class of "ma-
q chine " politicians; 30 that class whose
members are always ready to use the Gov
ernment service as club to beat down the
opposing party. His shameless defiance of
principle and consistency of course adds to
the indecency of his performance, but it
VIII be possible to gather from the way in
which the Administration regards this
case, whether or not the "machine" is to
be reinstated in absolute possession of the
Government.

raUmB-sIrrsG AT Yoakrowa..


1t would be cuTious outcome Of the
Yorktown celebration if another rupture
between Germany and France should grow
out of it. The feeling existing between
the representatives Of these nations has
been such as must have made Secretary
Blaine's task of keeping them both in good
humor exceedingly difficult. The French
TOOK offense at the attention paid to the
Germans, who they considered were not
entitled to any national representation at
Che centenary. They claimed shat Baron
Steuben was present with the American
forces merely as an individual, and that
Germany had nothing to do with the
business. Then they took ofense because
che German and French flags happened to
be hoisted together on vessel, and they
threatened TO withdraw unless this
was assanged to suit them. It is certainly
the case that France has far stronger
claim upon rs than Germany in connection
with the revolutionary war and indeed
thereareso German "reminiscences of that
period which would be rather embarrassing
reading just now. But for all that it was
not possible TO disassociate Barren Steuben
from his country, and the plan adopted
for the celebration was the only feasible
one. Our French visitors appear to be
considerably too tetchy in this matter
and they would do well to reflect that their
super-sensitiveness does not convey the
most complimentary idea to the people of
the United States, whose guests they are
for the time being. If the Germans and
French cannot refrain from biting their
thumbs at one another, atleast they should
control the pugnacious impulse until they
are out OF American territory.

mote the scene from civilization. Public
opinion may in some such cases exercise
a salutary deterrent influence, but where
there is no unpreindiced public to
sit in Judgment, and where the only
society that Is recognized consists
almost wholly Of the people who
cultivate the staple, it is very unlikely
that there viii an entire absence of abuses.
And human nature is the same every
where. When the employer of alien
labor has no special interest in the health
and comfort of his employees, as rule he
viii pay no attention to these matters.
When he thinks he can make more by
working them to exhaustion and then
getting fresh gang, than by taking
care of them and keeping them in good
condition, the probabilities are great that
he viii use them up as quickly as possible
and then throw them away. The Hawaiian
planters are accused Of treating their
contract laborers, consisting Of Portuguese,
Chinese, and South Sea Islanders, with
brutality and cruelty. Stories are told
of overseers OF the Legree type. armed with
whip and knife and revolver, terrorizing
the helpless laborers, and even sometimes
manning or killing them. As to this it
may be said that the presumption must
always be against the humanity OF an over
seer of this kind of labor, until his human
ity is demonstrated. For employers do
not seek or want tender-hearted
men for such work. They want
men who will in common parlance
stand no nonsense = and who will grind
out of the laborers all the work that they
are capable of. OF course therefore it
often happens that the terms 'soverseer
and ruffian are synonymous, and it is
even natural that the harshest overseers
may give the greatest satisfaction to their
employers. The case against the Hawaiian
planters is not yet made, but when such
charges are preferred under such circum-
stances, it is clear that there can be no
strong presumption in favor of the accused.
If they have abused their authority they
have done what it was quite natural for
them TO do. They are in fact so stu
ated that they ought to be under the
sharpest government surveillance, for
where there is no supervision there will
be no sense of responsibility, and sooner
or later no restraint upon even the most
indefensible impulses. It is to be hoped
that the planters have the means of vindi-
eating themselves, but it will be necessary
to scrutinize the evidence they advance
very sharply.
