The Congress of American nations

American countries have been junk

been having a high time of it. Jas.
G. Blaine made the address of well

President of the Conference. The
Democratic papers at Era started a
story that the Chilian representatives
would withdraw in consequence, but
the Chilians at Era vigorously de-
MED it. The European countries are
alarmed at the prospect of a Pan
American commercial union. The
English and German papers warn
the South American countries
against it as being hostile to the
trade with Europe. They say that
it would ruin SPANS commerce.
The whole project is attributed to

The material progress of the past
two years, in Honolulu and other
parts of this kingdom, has been Of
such a nature that the public works
completed and those nearing com
pletion, will naturally lead to others
of still greater magnitude. The
Oahu Railway and its possibilities
point to thick settlement on the
shores of Pearl Harbor, if not to the
establishment of rival city. The
outlook in this direction points to
the early improvement of Honolulu
harbor, aud to making the entrance
wider and deeper, SO that vessels of
all tonnage and draft may safely en-

WHITE LABOR SUPREME.

The history of colonization by
Europeans, in all parts of the world
except Asia, gives proof that the
skilled labor of white men is most
highly paid in countries where
native labor can be obtained in the
largest quantity. Among the British
colonies, in none is skilled white
labor paid higher than in South
Africa and Fiji, both of which
countries are overrun with native
laborers.
Regarding unskilled European
laborers, or white laborers of any
country, the following recent tele-
gram published in an American
paper gives some evidence.
The rush of European laborers to
Brazil, which began Immediately after
the abolition OF slavery by Dom Pedro,
IS maintained in such proportions as to
command the serious consideration OF
statesmen and social economists in the
countries affected. Italians have been
thronging into Brazil at the rate of sc, 900
month. English and Irish working
folk have for the past six months been
making their way thither in frequent
parties OF from 1000 to l 800 each.
And yet Brazil is teeming with
negro laborers.

HONOLULU HCODLUMS.

Some time ago the evening paper
contained few sensible remarks re-
garding the doings of the hoodlum
element at Emma Square during the
concerts given by the Hawaiian
Band. 1t has been evident to US for
sometime that the Honolulu hood
lums are increasing in numbers and
getting holder and more mischievous.
As has been the experience in all
cities, hoodlumism is large factor
in crime; and it is better to nip the
evil in the bud than to pass it by
with the remark-"they are only
boys" Of course, any action that
can be taken would be by the police,
and few examples would doubtless
have beneficial effect.
If the fault be that of the parents
or guardians, fines would have a
salutary effect upon. them; and i'm
prisonment for short periods would
probably have a similar effect upon
the youths. There should be even
handed justice, and a boy found
guilty of the mischief usually done
by hoodlums, should be at once ar
rested no matter whose son he is.
There is surely some statute in force
here under which these petty and
yet irritating offenses can be dealt
with; and if there is not, the sooner
that law of this kind is enacted the
better for all cencerned-even the
hoodlums themselves.

The French elections are now
over, and the Gallo Republic comes
out of the struggle stronger than
ever. The Boulangists have sub
sided and taken the name of 'Revi-
sionists," but did not disclose any
apparent strength when the trial
came. General Boulanger has left
England and gone to reside in the
island of Jersey, where he is within
sight of the French coast; but dare
not set foot on the soil he pretends
to love so well. The conservative
Republicans have won the day
against all the French political fac
tons, and this may be held to be a
declaration of peace on the part of
France. Tho Boulangists were COM
mitted to an aggressive policy, while
the Conservative Republicans, pur-
sue the opposite. Unless matters
change in France very considerably,
and in a way totally unlocked for at
present, Boulanger and his follow
ing are politically dead The news
of the result, as indicated above, has
been received with pleasure in the
United States; but with very little
rejoicing in England. Boulanger
had many sympathizers in England
and the British colonies; but the
English Indifference springs from q
motive different from the success or
want of success in any particular
person or faction The English

THE INsURRECTION IN CRETE.

Early in August there was an in
surrection in Crete, which belongs
to Turkey and is governed by a
Turk. 1t has a population of about
100000. about one-fourth of them
Mshommed ans, and large major
ity are Greek Christians. The trou-
BILE arose out of bitter local contest
between the conservative and liberal
parties in the island. The conser-
vatives, having been worsted in the
elections, refused to submit, COM
mitted various lawless acts, and fin
ally called Greece to their assistance,
even proposing that Crete should be
annexe6to Greece whether the lat
ter wished it or not In the present
turbulent condition of Eastern at
fairs, any cause may produce great
results. 1t is the opinion of many
that war is inevitable, in which the
contest may begin in Servia or Bull
garia, but at the back of which will
stand opposed to each other Russia
and Austria-Hungary. The belief in
coming war is all but universal in
those countries, and there is good
reason to believe that Russia is pre-
pairing specially for winter rather
than for a summer campaign. The
instruction In Crete has been
quelled, but is liable to break out
again at any moment, as it is simply
a question of time, how long $4,000
Turks can abuse and terrorize 150,
600 Cretians, who hate and despise
them.

Wants to Reply.


Mr.. EDrroR: On the 18th Of last
September Marshal Soper published
a letter in the Daily Bulletin signed
R. A. Lyman, in which my name
was referred to in several places and
in manner calculated to injure me.
/ replied in full to that letter, to the
Marshal, in a gentlemanly way and
signed my name to it asking him as
a favor to publish it also, which up
to the present time that gentleman
has failed to do. Perhaps he is sat
isfed to let the matter rest, but / am
not. Article III. of the Constitution
says, "All men may freely speak,
write and publish their sentiments
on all subjects" 1t would appear to
me from late experience, this should
be changed so as to read ''some
men may" as / find it depends a
great deal on who the parties are
whether or not they may be heard.
