FRIDAY September 18th
JAPANESE LABOR.

The following editorial paragraph
appears in the last Planters
Monthly :"
The communication from Mr.. Kennedy
concerning Japanese laborers, voices the ex
perience of the large majority of the planters
who have Japanese. Those plantations
which have had trouble with them seem tc
have had poor lots of men, or trouble has
arisen from other exceptional causes.
The sIots of men" were the same in
each case strong, active, vigorous
young men. The communication re-
ferred to is as follows:
WAIAKEA MILL, Hilo Aug. 5, 1885.
Il. H. DAVIES, EsQ.-Dear Sir: I had q
visit from Mr.. Kimura, and took him to see
all the Japanese. Not a word of com plant,
he said; all spoke well of Waiakea. Our Japs
have turned out so far to be splendid men,
all steady at work, no sickness among them.
OF the disease Beriberi or land scurvy,
have not had one case. One reason is that
tell them to eat plenty of vegetables, and
they do it, at the same time / occasionally
send them box of Irish potatoes, cabbage,
bananas, etc., and vinegar, and do not
charge them. I find this as cheap as to pay
doctors bills or to lose some of them.
They work well, are clean, intelligent,
honest and a very good and quiet people. I
would never dream of law with our men,
have never had occasion to speak in anger
any word or feel annoyed at one of them.
Yours truly G. C. KENNEDY.
These extracts speak for themselves.
They are not testimonials from con-
tract laborers setting forth, spOntane-
ously of course, that their masters do
not ill-treat them, but the testimony
of employers of japanese contract
labor that it is all that could possibly
be desired. The relative value of the
two kinds of testimony will suggest
itself to any intelligent person. We
NAV add to this the testimony of a
large planter on Kauai who said, in
conversation with US the other day /:
eve have had no trouble with our
Japanese Iaborers. The first and sec
ond lots are about the same. They
are intelligent, clearly, tractable and
willing, and are the best labor we
have ever had, except the Hebredians.
They are far more valuable and re-
liable than the Chinese" Does it not
seem little strange, therefore, that
upon plantations where the mortality
and sickness have been unusually
large, and from one of which the
Japanese laborers have been with
drawn, different condition of
things prevail, and that it has became
necessary to procure testimonials from
the remaining contract laborers to the
uniform humanity and kindness of
the management. IF one were to
credit these testimonials he would
necessarily conclude that the Japa-
nese at Paia were "killed with kind
ness"

Bones and Fossils.

Concerning the bones and fossils found
In the Monitor mine, which were sent to ].
W. Powell, Director Of the United States
Geological Survey at Washington, by st.
George Stanley, Of this place, says the
White Pine News Of last Wednesday, the
Director writes as follows, under date OF
May 5: Your letter of April 81, and the
specimens referred to therein, were duly
received. From an examination of the lat.
ter ii ia believed that the first specimen is
the proximal part Of the ulna or radius Of
a deer. but so badly broken as not to be &C
curately identifiable. The second lot OF
specimens appear to be the lower jaws, long
bones, upper ~incisor, and part of the pelvis,
Of an Arctomys, or Marmot, closely re-
sembling A, lsviventer (And. Il Bachm)
the yellow bellied marmot Of Sonora and
New Mexico. Probably they are recent
bones, taken into a crevice by a rat o,
other animal. The specimens of fossil
coral from the dark grey limestone Is the
we'll known palozoic Zephrentis Strsn'
bury, common in the rocks of Nevada,
and first collected by Stanbury's Salt Lake
expedition. The specimens have been de-
posted in the National Museum.

Ceur D'AIene Mines.

The Myrtle claim in Trail Gulch has
again broken the monosony in the gold
output by sending over to the Bank Of
Murray q ten ounce nugget. 1t contains
a large amount of quartz, but is very
heavy for it's size. II ia nearly round
and no bigger than an ordinary hens egg
J. ". Empfeld. Of Mullan, arrived in
town on Monday evening and returned &c
the Prairie yesterday morning, says the
Murray Sun Of a recent date. He reports
that the prospects are Frightening from
day to day, and that new discoveries art
are constantly being made, but neither
their extent nor richness can be deter
mined for some time yet. But the quality
of the ore brought to Mullan j~ustifies the
most brilliant hopes for the future of the
camp.
Jack Enright yesterday showed the
reporter some very rich gold quartz of
blush nature which was brought down
from Q discovery on Reeder Gulch in which
he is interested. The quartz is thoroughly
impregnated with fine gold. One large
piece, on being broken into three smaller
ones, revealed flower gold all through the
rock. Mr.. Enright presented q chunk to
the san for its cabinet which fairly gilt
ters with the yellow metal, for which we
return thanks. The find is considered one
of the best yet made In the camp.

A slight building boom has struck the
fat q short distance below Taylor.
James Fitzpatrick has sold his saloon 10
Charley Stein of Phoebe. The considers.
ton We learn is $500.
The June mine is coming to the front.
The blast that we saw 60 of In 1t Sunday
threw all of three tons that will go $40C
to the ton. Judging from present indi'
cations it's o steady course it holds.
Two bullion shipments were made from
Taylor last week. The Argus Mining
Company shipped two bars valued q,
Sc, 1855 %, and the Monitor Mining Com
pany five bars valued at $40, 004 rs.
James Benson and William Ennis having
leased the 5-stamp gold mill at Osceols
left for that place last Sunday, for the pur.
pose Of giving it a general overhauling and
starting il up. 1t will be run on custom
ore.
Work is being pushed in a quiet way
upon the Maintonomoh. This claim liei
about half q mile southeast Of the Self
cooker Of the Argus group, and is the
property Of Robert Briggs, st. George
Stanley and W. 8. Wilson.

The Sip and Its Meaning-what
Book Beer IL and How It Differs
from Ordinary Lager.
A little sign embellished by q picture Of
q goat and q young man or woman hold
ing a glass Of foaming liquid which has q
very familiar look, is to be met with at
pr~esentin nearly every beer saloon in town,
Thousands buy II, lens of thousands drink
IL, but the number of those who know its
true origin or meaning 10 comparatively
few. According to some beer chronicle
gists the origin OF book beer dates back
hundreds Of years. A youth in Flanders,
it is said, made love by serenading the OBJ
ject Of his affection with q fiddle. The
girl refused to receive his attentions in
consequence, and finally one day he was
driven from the town and his fiddle
broken over his head. He sat down to
brood over his misery, when he was &C.
costed by o goat, who afterwards turned
out to be the old boy himself in disguise.
"If," said the goat, "you will consider
your soul mine at the end Of 100 years,
1 will show you how TO get even
with your ~townspeople." The bargain
was made, and the secret of brewing this
new beer was impaired to the desolate
youth. As il by magic, Q huge brewery
sprsng up in the youths native place. The
people raved over the new beer, which the
youth in his gratitude christened book, or
goat beer. The brewer prospered. He
married the b~urgomaster's daughter and
became the chief man Of the town.
Finally the hundred years rolled by and
Beelzebub came to claim his own. The
brewer got hin drunk, and when he awoke
from his drunken stupor he left the place
without taking the brewer with him. An
other origin claimed for book beer is that
before the process Of artificial cooling was
known beer was made only in Winter. To
keep it, il was stored in cellars. One
brewer called his cellar the Book kellar,
and as his brewing became very popular
it came to be known as book beer-after the
name OF the cellar wherein 1t had been
stored.
Book beer is made In the same manner
as lager beer is made. II differs only in the
mixing and is the first brewing. An excess
OF malt is added 10 make IL sweeter. 1t
will not keep as long as lager. 1t is made
in January or February and kept until
April or May. II it were made all the year
round people would not drink it. 1t is
stronger than ordinary lager beer. Each
brewer gets put his book when 1t suits him
best, but his stock is usually consumed in
a weeks time. Then another brewers
stock comes in the market, and 80 on until
the whole stock is run off, which usually
makes the book season last about @ month
or six weeks.

Labor Organizations, Their Objects
and True Interests.

and True Interests.
Some people are apt to look with 8 jeal'
Gus eye on the inclination Of workingmen
to organize themselves into Unions. Union
Is Q good thing, 9 good name, whether for
9 government, q society, or 9 newspaper
and this desire to band together comes
only from the natural idea that in 9 multi
Jude OF counsels there is wisdom and
strength. There is q difference, however,
between o union and O combination. A
union implies protection, or defense against
attack or oppression. A combination most
often means aggression or the wrongful
use OF power. The workingman's motive,
as we take 1t, is not to mobilize the labor
ing classes for war On capital, but simply
to resist injustice when attempted by the
employer. Those who fear the working
man will be led into excuses and anarchy
by q few socialistic spirits Of the rule or
ruin order, forget that he. is On In
telligent being, capable Of doing his own
thinking and deeply sensitive when his
rights are involved. They forget that
in Q majority Of cases he has q wife, q fam
lily, and q ~home-three things incompsti-
BILE with revolution and disorder, and
which invariably tend to conserva-
tism. 1t is only when his home is threat
ened, or when his ability to provide bread
for his family is taken away, that the
workingman is tempted to excesses. EN-
ployers there are-and thank God they are
few-whose main impulse Ia to grind, and
to grind exceedingly small. United labor
draws the rein on this class. Between the
epterprising, just capitalist and the intelli-
gent w~orkingman there can be no conflict.
Whenever differences arise-ss they al
ways will as long as men have minds and
think-they can be readily settled by
conference and arbitration. A little con-
cession on both sides invariably maintains
the best Of feeling between the two. The
workingman-pardon the %slang-is no
"hog." You never find him wanting
everything and conceding nothing. When
workingmen form themselves into unions
and make demands 1t is simply to cover the
case Of short concerns who loudly cry
their own virtues and pinch almost below
3 living plane the wages Of those who are
forced to work for them.
There is q principle o recognized by
many who employ labor, which if strictly
adhered to by all, and understood by the
laboring people, would in a great measure
prevent conflicts. 1t is this: To give the
laborer an equitable interest in the bene-
fits arising out Of prosperity--the pros
perity Of the business. Give Ii to him in
an increase Of wages.

The Recent school Election,

The Austin Reveille, speaking Of the
school election held last Saturday, states
mat a legally elected officer cannot be
iegialased out of office and the School
trustees were just as legally elected last
fa,i GO were the congressman, Sheriff
ana other officers; and that as no citizen
can vote at any election unless he has reg
assered at least ten days before any special
Siec1ion' and as the registry list was not
0peneo tnere Is not q legal voter in the
STATE. Inc registration Of voters last year
expired on December 81, 1884. To make
,he election legal ID would have
oeen necessary to have opened the regis
try list April 20. This OF course was not
done and there are no legal voters. To
vote without registering subjects the
onender to five years imprisonment.
Hence the election was not legal.
