would be well to bear this in mind.
After warning certain ill-disposed
Chinese from levying blackmail
(possibly aiding in collecting taxes)
on Chinese shops, the threat is ut
tered that the Viceroy of Canton, in
conjunction with the Canton magis-
trates, will order the arrest of Of
tenders relatives in China in case
of dsobedience. The japanese, on
the other hand, are heartily well
coined as immigrants, and the Taxa
sago Maru quite recently arrived
with q freight of 1000 of them. The
Hawaiian Government very sensibly
insists on proper proportion OF
women, and accordingly 200 of the
latter accompanied the men-an ar
rangement which, when the easy
morals of the japanese are consider
ed, will give ample opportunities to
satisfy the several aspirations of
both sexes. The japanese do not
live in the town like Chinese, but on
plantations, or in village commune
ties, where they patiently till the
soil. Being less troubled than the
Chinese by the considerations of
home sickness and ancestral claims,
the japanese, who, moreover, do
not smoke opium or trouble them
selves with political intrigues, are
undoubtedly an Improvement on the
Chinese. 1t may be mentioned that
large numbers of them have found
their way to Queensland and South
Australia (Port Darwin); but in
this instance the trade they conduct
if congenial and profitable, is not
elevating to the moral instincts, and
involves decided disproportion OF
the sexes, which, as is also the case
with them in AMMAN, Siam, Burmall
and Malay lands, works quite in the
contrary direction to that effected
by the Chinese. rhe japanese

DOMESTIC EXPORTS.

The Collector Generals table of
domestic exports for the quarter
ending March 81, 1889, gives the
total value as 81, 7O9, ,S35.74. Sugar
heads the list with s4,554, S6O.07;
rice has second place. sl05.o91.5;
bananas third. s22.o75.50; A1d
hides fourth, SIS.6i0.l7. As coC-
pared with the corresponding Qu2-ts:
of the previous year, 1855, thers j
an increase in quantity Of all sz-
ports, except rice, wool. and sheep
skins. In each Of these there Is
decrease-rice 1870, 200 pounds,
wool 286,569 pounds, and sheep
skins l1S pieces. The increase is
in sugar, hides, bananas, tallow,
goatskins, cattle, betel leaves, mo-
lasses, coffee, and taro -four. Cattle
and taro -four did not appear in the
quarter of 1888. The increase in
sugar is IA, ,846, ,526 pounds. Tallow
is more than doubled, while the
jump in coffee is from 200 pounds
to 2,200 pounds.
The variety of our exports is not
great, and most of those on the list
are comparatively insignificant in
quantity, ,"all else amounting to but
little when compared with our great
staple, sugar; but the total value
for the quarter ending with the last
month, exceeding S4,700,000, is
surprisingly great for a population
of less than $4,000 people, all told.
The increase of quantity over the
corresponding quarter of the pre-
vious year is satisfactory feature,
and we have now entered upon the
second quarter of this year with the
encouraging intelligence that our
main product and export has risen
in price, with prospects of the rise
being maintained.

Now, should it come to pass from

SATURDAY, APRIL l3, 1889.
INDEPENDENCE AND AkkExA-.
TI0N,

IT, The commotion created by COM
plications at insignificant little Sa-
moa, during the last few months
past, has given rise to considerable
talk in the press of the United
States, Europe, and the Australia
sian colonies respecting the indie
pendence of the Samoan group of
islands, and other islands of the Pa
citic Ocean, including Hawaii Nei.
Some remarkable statements have
found their way into print touching
the designs and intentions of Great
Britain, of Germany. and of the
United States, in regard to this
kingdom. Some accounts say that
England has made up her mind to
have the country; others that Ger
many has decided that she shall be
our future head; and others again
that the United States will ere long
annex us to the Union. Most of this
talk is undoubtedly creations of ac-
tive imaginations, and has no more
solid foundation than the story
about the man in the moon.
AS to whether it is better for this
country to retain its independence
or to become annexed to some one
of the great powers, we hold that
independence is preferable, so long
as the country is capable of govern
ing itself. Our government is not
model government: far from it.
We are not disposed to fall down
and worship either our system or
the men entrusted with the duty of
operating it. But for all that, we
see no reason for believing that an
nexation to either of the Great Pow
ers named, or to any country what
soever, would bring us anything
better. 1t is quite within the limits
of possibility that we might get
worse. To be sure, some people
honestly think that annexation, say,
to the United States, would at once
give us a government vastly supe-
rior TO what we have-a government
approximating to perfection. If
those gentlemen will kindly desig-
nate wherein and how our govern
ment would be improved by that OF
any other annexation, we might pos
sibly be convinced that we are in
error. In the meantime we
maintain that the country is capable
of governing itself, and that the
government which it has, with all
its defects, is at least as good as
any government likely to be con-
ferred upon it by annexation to any
other country. Moreover, we hold
that defects of the government now

TIE STATE SH'JEDLED.

Since writing one or two paragraphs
that appear elsewhere in this issue of
tie BEACON on the subject Of the
robbery Of the State treasury, the
matter has been further ventilated in
the New Orleans press, and the facts
are gradually coming to light.
Striped cf all technical phases
and involved statement. the upshot Of
the matter is that on $276, 900 worth
OF bonds, bearing 4 per cent interest,
the State has been paving double
interest since lie wear 1880. These
bonds belonged to the STATED University,
and when the constitutional convcn-
ton met in 1879 that body provided
that the State should pay the Univer-
-ity perpetually t per cent interest on
the bonds it held, but that the prin-
cipal of these tord, should never be
raid. In fact tie Constitution
DECLARED that The bonds themselves
and the interest coupons attached
should Ire destroyed in such manner
rs the Legislature might determine.
The legislature in 1882 ordered these
bonds destroyed, but for some reason,
as vet unknown, they never were, and
/ the discovery il NOW made that the
! bonds and coupons are still in exist
ence, and that the State has been fol-
nine years paying not only the 4 pei
cent interest to the State University
! but per cent interest on the bonds
that were supposed to have been
destroyed. In other words, as before
stated, the people Of the State have
paid double interest on S21S, OOC
worth Of bonds for nine years, OF
about 100000. Now, if the court:
hold that the bonds themselves
having failed to be destroyed through
the negligence of State officials, arr
valid obligations in the hands Of limo
cent holders, the State Will be com
PEELED to pay their face value 1878, 600
as well as all interest vet to accrue
amounting to some $5OO,OOl
altogether.
1t is not known through whose faul
such robbery was permitted, nor i
the actual robber vet discovered
But the matter is being sifted to tn
bottom, and by the next issue of tn
BEACON the whole thing will be lai'
bare. We shall then give it to GU
readers with such comments as tn
facts seem to Justify.

negroes have been arrested in Newton
county for melting an insurrection,
and are now in Jail at Decatur. Two
of them confessed that there was an
organization of blacks, and that
they were to unite on Sunday, the

ther arrests of some of the leading
negroes disclose the fact that there is
an organization, but for political pur-
poses only. The white people Of the
county are organizing and arming
themselves with the most approved

sold at Newton. 1t is not now ex-
pected that an outbreak will be made

long course of lawlessness, in the par
ish of Lafayette. The so-called ReJ
u.ators Of that parish deny all partic-
patton in. or assent to these foul muir
ders, and bitterly denounce the assas-
sins, yet society everywhere will
justly hold that organization respon-
sible therefor, and the only way to

Lynching a negro or white man
for heinous murder, as in the case of
the negro Keys in Lafayette, is one
thing, und brutattally butchering an
old negro and his young daughter is
quite another. The Lafayette regula-

doctrine of white supremacy through
acts that were not cowardly, had the
support of large mass of the people
Of the State; but as soon as butchery,

sentiment went the ether way. The
