Hon. II. A. p. Carter, Hawaiian
Minister Resident at Washington,
made an address at the annual meeting
Of the American Board of Commits.
sioners for Foreign Missions in De
troit, October 4th last. The address
is characterised by the Boston Congre-
gationalist as exceedingly instructive.
"He gave noble and unanswerable testi-
mony to the moral transformation
which had been effected through
Christianity in the prevailing character
OF the people. True there had been
a decrease in the population, but that
decrease would have been greater yet
after the kind of civilization which com
mexrs brings had reached the islands,
- Il not been for Christian truth and
ubSe and character The Hawaiian
race Is no, doomed to either extinction
or absorption. The next census may
show an actual increase" A compli-
mentary reference to Queen Kapiolani
was heartily cheered.

check to the frequent arrogance of
Chinese laborers

check to the frequent arrogance Oi
Chinese laborers.
There is no doubt that the Azorean
is ensinently'fitted to meet the require
ments Of plantation labor He can
stand semi-tropical labor as a German
or Norwegian cannot, and generally
he does not consider himself degrad-
ed by being asked to labor alongside oil
Chinese or other dark skinned people.
He is a born laborer. an agriculturist
by instinct and a small farmer by train
ing and tradition All his tastes are
rural or suburban. If rightly controlled
and justly treated the Azoreans and
Chinese bid fair to continue the bone
and sinew of the land, performing its
manual labor, assisting in its handi-
crafts, developing its undiscovered or
forgotten agricultural possibilities and
filling the inches of retail and distribu-
tive trade. Both races are still neces-
sary to the country's harmonious devel-
opment, though the Portuguese proper
ton is as yet too small. So we wei
come those who have but just landed
from the Bell Rock and trust that
others may follow them at no distant
day and we wish this not merely in
the interest of the plantations, but in
the interest of the commonwealth.

We have seen some statistics pre-
pared for the forthcoming Hawaiian
Annualwhich show acontinuedmaiority
of deaths over births among native
Hawaiians. The Boston Congrega-
tionalist, quoting the Hawaiian Minister
Resident at Washington, takes less
gloomy view OF the outlook than the
facts warrant any one here in doing.
Liquor, lust, leprosy and many other
less deadly, less loathsome but equally
apparent causes, are increasing the
yearly death-roll and decreasing the
yearly birth-ratc of the unmixed
Hawaiian race--in a ratio that makes
every generous spectator vince. Few
savage peoples have better deserved
preservation than the aboriginals of
these islands. There was never a more
sincere, amore gallant, or more abso-
lutely frultless effort in human history,
than the effort of the American mission
aries to preserve the Hawaiian people.
This IS not saying that the effort has
done no good. 1t brought a teeming
population out Of brutal savagery and
fratricidal butchery into the compare.
tive sunlight of outward dccency and
wholesome respect for law. Emission
airy influence might have had unre-
stricted sway in these islands, there
would have been less drunkenness, less
RIGHTEOUSNESS and consequently
smaller death rate. The student of
Hawaiian history who secs different
reading sees through the jaundiced eyes
Of unreasoning hostility to morality and
restraint. The defenders of such men
as in former years disgraced the navies
Of England, France and the United
States, have little sympathy with those
high-minded commanding officers of
the nations mentioned, whose apprecia-
ton of missionary influence is writ in
the enduring annals of this nation.

Two points in favor of Portuguese
immigration ought to be always remem.
bered The first point is this The
proposition that producers are the real
wealth of a country is part of the A b c
of political economy. BY table APP
pended to local article on the same
subject it is shown thar within the pas,
four years eight thousand Portuguese
have landed here rather over third
of them adult males at cost to the
country Of only about 5000, 600, OF
which sum the planters have paid a
large share, Every Portuguese family,
no matter how frugal, becomes con
sumner Of duiiable goods and each adult
male becomes tax payer. The
government revenue is directly increased
by every male adult who comes into
the country, and indirectly benefited
by the presence OF every family.
Granting that each man, woman and
child who comes to Hawaii as an immi-
grant purchases yearly $40 to $50 worth
Of dutiable goods and the estimate
is low--the return is a handsome
interest on the governments invest
mcnt- The second point is also
brought out by the local article referred
to: The arrangement which seems
likely to be made whereby each head
OF family will receive wage sufficient
to enable him to assume the food
support Of his family, will induce him
TO utilize the labor OF that family. II
our laws may be SO intelligently carried
out that the mdimcnts OF an English
education may be taught the young
Azoreans, and Azorean women are al
lowed to perform only the lighter sorts
OF manual Labor, the new arrangement
canno, fail 70 benefit both planters and

WISE IND OTH ERUTSE.

OF bad editing which the best regulated
newspaper households can not always
avoid, made the Gazette of last We'd
nesday praise Mr.. Gulick in its local
columns and insult him in an editorial
One can imagine no deeper depth of
social infamy than to be discussed in
public as occupying the peculiar ana
tomical relation to Mr.. Gibson indi-
Gated by the Gazette.
But no matter what one may think
of the consistency or good taste of the
editorial birthstone and the local treacle
which the Gazette ladled out for Mr.
Gulick's benefit last Wednesday, there
can be no doubt that the official men
toned does "not care a tinker's whis-
tie about the rights of any one not
manifestly in the shadowy, il-defned,
yet not less real circle of "the govern
ment ring"
The Gazette has sensible sugges-
ton about forming a salvage corps of
citizens to protect property at fires
This suggestion has been drawn out by
Mr.. Horns strong Indictment of police
lnefficiency-elsewhere printed in this
issue. An underwriters fire-patrol, like
that OF San Francisco, supported in
part by the insurace companies, by pri-
waite subscription and by fixed govern
ment aid, would be still more to the
purpose.
The Gazette's fling at the church
going of Captain Tells police watch
was entirely uncalled for. 1t is not less
church-going that the police need but
better leadership.
Let us admit Marshal Parke's good
qualitles-all the long list of them.
Yet let us not shut our eyes any longer
to the fact that he is not the man to be
at the head of the police department.
Marshal OF the Hawaiian Kingdom
for thirty years p The sentence has a
sonorous ring. Let the nation pension
Marshal Parke and then cry "Pau."
A younger man, a more active man, is
needed man with better executive
powers, with more moral above
all, with initiative
The foregoing is written in all kind
ness Yet it is not hoped that Mr..
Parke or his friends will appreciate it.
But if the general public does not APP
preciate it we are sadly mistaken We
think they will be far more likely so to
do after reading the Marshal's recent
reports
If Mr.. Walter Hill of Moreno motor
lty, reiorm-school prestige and Bulletin
fame will bring forward the "unim-
peachable living witnesses" who know
SO much good about Mr.. Moreno, and
will produce the 'undeniable written
documents" he makes such parade
about, the writers for the Press, and
those who have noticed Mr.. Hills
rompons swagger, will gladly credit
that vain little gentleman with being
less foolish than he seems-in Haunting
to the public gaze his friendship for the
banished count

ton in London closed on the ,1st

But there are Others to be consider,
ed besides the planters. The planting
class includes fair proportion of the
brains, the cultivation andtheintegrtyof
the kingdom. Yet planters are humans,
and there is nothing so human as self
Interested error. One need not look
far into the past to read the words of
one OF the most prominent planters on
the islands, who values men as so much
muscle and their labor as so much
machinery, We need muscle, we need
labor and labor-saving machinery; but
we need also intelligence, morality and
obedience to law. Nothing promotes
the latter qualities as do home ties and
home influence. The Chinese who
come here with their wives ought to be
welcomed; those who come here unmar-
rled ought to be limited by strict regu-
lations. As rule the male adult Por-
tuguese brings his family; as rule the
Chinese does not. 1t is to be consid-
cred also that, as rule, the Portuguese
comes TO stay; as a rule, the Chinese
comes TO 90 away again. In many
ways the Chinese is social locust; eat
ing portion of the communlty's sub
stance and then flying away. Not so
the Portuguese If California is a fair
example. In many OF the fairest por-
tons of that state, the Portuguese far
mers are in numerical supremacy, own
their own land, cultivate carefully, keep
good live stock, produce large crops
and, go in for local politics" They
are counted good citizens in California;
and they ought to prove themselves as
good here.

II it be idle to spend time in the dis
cussion of what might have been done
for the Hawaiian race, it is certainly
not idle to discuss what may best be
done to promote an immigration quail
fed to fill the places of those who arc
gone or, with such swift certainty, are
going. So far immigration has given
us representatives Of many nationalities
Except from four races, a majority have
come as merchants, spectators, inves-
tors, or to fill clerical or governmental
positions. The laboring class has been
drawn chiefly from four sources,
mentioned in the order of their
numerical status here: China, the
Azores, the South Seas and Germany
Only the two sources first mentioned
have given us laborers on which en-
ployers have been able to RELY, either
in point of numbers or in the quality
OF the work performed The excep-
tons in favor of certain islanders from
the South Seas, and few of the many
Germans brought here for plantation
labor, must be considered confirmation
and not contradiction of the rule above
stated. There is still undoubted use
for the Chinese now here. But the evils
of unrestricted Chinese immigration
arealso undoubted and oounmistakable
to be denied. The Portuguese has
proven himself an admirable foil to the
Chinese. Each has done better for the
presence Of the other The compe-
tition of the Chinese is a wholesome
example to the equally frugal, more
really willing, yet less Flooding Portu-
guese; the presence of the Portuguese
goes far towards preventing those petty
strikes and small combinations at which
the Chinese is SO practical an adept.
