THE LABOR QUESTION.

The question of the description
and quantity Of the labor supply
wanted by the planters has suddenly
assumed an equivocal phase. When
the subject was before the Legisla-
ture nothing was clearer than that
the planters wanted first and above
all to make thorough test of the
japanese project. As there was
then some doubt whether sufficient
supply of Japanese could be obtain
ed, the door was left open to the
Government to devote the appropria-
tion to further Portuguese importa-
tions. One of the mobiles, who is asso-
cated with the largest planting firm
in the Kingdom, during the debate
expressed the opinion that the coun-
try was paying too much for labor,
and that all the labor required could
be obtained without public expense
by simply letting sufficient number
of Chinese come in. This opinion
received little or no support in the
Legislature, the evident sentiment of
which was that the people at large
were averse to having the country
over-run more than it is with Chi
ncse. Since the Legislature rose,
the intimation has been made that
the success of the japanese scheme
depended upon funds, and that a
considerable number of a good class
of that nationality were to be brought
in at once. The Minister of Foreign
Affairs, in the absence of the Minis
ter of Interior, who is President OF
the Board of. immigration, yesterday
repeated this intimation to a deputa-
ton Of the Planters Company, in
reply to their memorial, which asked
for definite information upon the
point and also petitioned the Gov
ernment to relax the restrictions
upon Chinese immigration in the
event of an adequate supply OF
Japanese not being forthcoming in
time to serve the ends of tho
planters. In his reply Mr.. Gibson
takes the businesslike course of ask.
ing the planters to give an estimate
of just how many laborers they vii
require during the next twelve
months, This is right, for cheaI
labor would be dearly bought, 81

cerned, by such an excessive supply

session each plantations representa-
tive should give an approximate es-
innate of its wants.
Mr.. A. II. Smith said that on
some plantations it was not ques-
ton of want of lsborers, but Of
cheaper labor.
Mr.. W. o. Smith endorsed this,
saying if three thousand Japanese
could be brought in at once the ques-
ton would be solved, but if they
were to be coming all the year the
effect on wages would be slight.
Mr.. Davies said they were COM
mitting themselves to a statement
that there was a scarcity of labor;
and to contradict themselves would
be disqualification IL they paid
enough they could get enough.
Mr.. Atherton urged that they
must have enough labor to bring
down prices.
Mr.. Walsh said his plantation had
any number of lazy, high-priced
Cinnamon, and he had ordered 100
Japanese.
Mr.. Allen said the japanese would
have to be broken in to the work,
while the Chinese had fellow-coun-
trvmen here to assimilate with. The
solution, he thought, was in the in
PRODUCTION of Chinese.
Mr.. Rickard said when the Chi
nese were coming, wages kept down; (;
but when they were stopped, wages
went up.
Mr.. Walsh took issue with the
statement that there were men
enough in the country. He referred
to a planter who was going to dis
charge men, but he would have to
get them back at higher wages and
extra inducements.
Mr.. Davies said if it was so that
there were enough men in the coun-
try, let them draft letter of apology
to the Government. If there were q
sufficiency of men, he would like the
gentlemen saying so would let him
have some for plantations he was
interested in.
Mr.. Rickard agreed with this,
saying he had sent man to China,
who would bring as many laborers
as the regulations would allow.
Mr.. Lydgate said he wanted l0C
men on Laupahoehoe plantation,
and knew q neighbor who wanted
more.
The President asked the members
to bring statements in the morning
as to the probable number of mer
required by them. 1t was not true
that there were enough laborers il
the country, as great number OF
the men here were not laborers, but
idle vagrants. They wanted enough
men to make it necessary for these
to go to work and earn their living
Or else starve. Everything should
be done fair and square with the
Government.
The meeting adjourned at fou
O'Clock, till Friday morning at ten

THE PLANTERS IN COUNCIL.
THURSDAY MORNING.

'SA'Sbhh -'AD'N-'iEN''
Mr.. Mactie presented the report
of the Committee on Sugar Manu-
facture. Discussing the low prices
prevailing throughout the year, it.
was pretty severe upon the back
wardness of planters in measures
for cheapening production. The
great advantage beet sugar had in
the market was due to the scientific
methods of its manufacture. The
Committee urged the employment of
skilful chemist by the Company.
Diffusion was stated to be by no
means new process, as it had been
patented in England in 1S47. An
appendix gave the respective points
of polarization of different grades of
sugar on various plantations, Ono
mea going the highest ever heard of.
Another appendix gave interesting
descriptions of various sugar-making
appliances used abroad.
The report was discussed, and on
motion was adopted and ordered for
publication.
Mr.. Davies read letter from Mr.
Young, on maceration, or double
crushing, and hot water saturation,
showing valuable results from this
process. Mr.. Horner gave the
opinion of Mr.. Rogers that more
saccharine matter per pound was
wasted in the trash burned on our
plantations than was contained in
the sugar beet.
On motion of the Secretary vote
of thanks was passed to the several
committees that had reported, and
to Mr.. Young and Mr.. Koelling for
their valuable assistance in technical
advice.

Hidden Star Route Facts,
UNPALArABLE TBUTHS ABOUT PUBLIC
MEN THAT THE GOVERNMENT SEEKS
ro SUPPRESS.

Postmaster General Gresham has
Informed Mr.. Springer that it would be
detrimental, in his opinion, to public
interests to have certain papers on file
in the Post Office Department sub
mitted to the House. The ostensibe
reason is, that the publication of these
papers would innterfere with further
prosecution by the Government of per-
sons accused of conspiracy or other
wrong actions in the Star route cases
Mr.. Springer has appointed sub-com-
mittee to go and take peep at these
papers, TO see whether Mr.. Gres-
hams view is, in their opinion, right.
This subcommittee will find, not
that the Government holds the papers
back because it desires to see the evil
dence in further prosecutions, civil or
criminal, but because the papers in
volve the names of a number of men
prominent in public life, and some of
them high in the esteem of the Repub-
lican party. The papers constitute,
it is true, part of the evidence col
lected by the Government in the Star
route cases. If this evidence should
appear the question would at once
arise, Why were not these men pro
secuted : Why we're some taken and
Others left ?
Thus Mr.. Springer's committee
might have TO go to the root of the
motives that actuated the Department
of Justice in these singular proceed
iugs.
Mr.. Springer's committee may Incl
dentally bring out the facts that, in
spite of The evidence said to have been

Boiling the ticket, as general rule,
is not advisable, but there are times
and circumstances where it not only
becomes advisable, but absolutely neces-
sary for the reputation of the party
and the good of the people. Such an
occasion has arisen at Scranton, where
the Democratic party has been unwise
enough to nominate Frank Beamish
for Mayor. The good men of all par
ties will only do their duty by combin-
ing to secure his defeat Beamish is a
skillful wire-puller, in manners a gen.
tleman, in ability beyond the average,
and in politics corrupt to the core. He
is boss and ringster of the first
water, and the sooner the party shakes
him off the better it will be for it.
