The Iyestern union yvor-

ST. PAUL, Oct. 80. The telegraph strike
ended last night in an easy victory for the
Western Union. OF the twenty-four oper-
ators who went out on Monday all but four
have been re-engaged by the company.
Two Of the four have secured employment
and the remaining two were offered work
by the company in another city. The men
re-engaged signed the old agreement OF
1888, pledged themselves to quit the broth
erhood and to become members Of no Sc
cret organization.

persons, and which would have been twice
as large had the capacity Of the hall been
adequate. He confined his remarks tQthe

Reed at no time mentioned the name OF

the long session to a close, and that
the friends of the bill are particu'
larly DESTROYS of reaching the final
stage of enactment.
Reciprocity is not a new idea in
international economics. Many
treaties have been negotiated with
the object of securing it. 1t is not
however, so familiar a term as to
be entirely clear to the popular un-
derstanding. The following definl-
ton of il is quoted from the "Cen-
fury Dictionary"
Reciprocity, in political science,
is the term usually applied to the
principle of securing, in commercial
treaties between nations, mutual
advantages to the same extent,
e. G., the admission mutually of
certain goods, supposed to be prac-
ticaIly equivalent to each other,
duty free or at equal duties on inn
portation."
This is commercial reciprocity as
defined by an authority, and this is
the principle which Mr.. Blaine
seeks to have applied to certain
articles which enter into the COM
mercial transactions between the
United States and other countries
on this continent. His idea is that
we ought to broaden our foreign
market, and that the best way to
broaden our foreign market is by
system of reciprocity by which we
shall be able to introduce some of
our products and manufactures into
the Central and South American
States in return for admitting their
sugar, hides, coffee, etc., free.

TUESDAY, OC'

COMMENTING on the interesting
commercial article which we in
serted last week, Bradstreet says:
The renewal of the reciprocity
treaty with the United States gave
a notable impetus to Hawaiian
commerce and industry, according
to ConsuI-General Severance, of
Honolulu. The year 1889 was, as a
result, one of marked prosperity.
An increased amount of American
capital went into the sugar-cane
growing industry, and the intro
duction of steam and street rail-
ways and electric lights (the plants
for which were made in the United
Statesl, has also attracted addi-
tional American capital. This
country continues to monopolize
the bulk of the foreign trade of
Hawaii. This is particularly true
as regards exports. In the matter
Of imports the showing is less salts
factory, the Hawaiians buying less
in proportion from us than we do
from them. The total exports in
1889 were valued at s13,874,341, of
which 91.35 per cent. went to the
United States. The imports were
about $1,000, 600, of which 49, 10 per
cent. came from the United States.
Exports exceeded imports, it may
be seen, by s9,5O1,45 The ex-
ports of sugar, the principal item
of Hawaiian trade, aggregated
242, 165,S35 pounds, or 121, 900 tons.
The exports of rice fell of, owing
to the large home consumption by
Chinese and Japanese laborers.
Arrivals of immigrants exceeded
departures by 1858 during the
year, while the departures of
Chinese were 1859 in excess of
arrivals"

Educational Matters.


Mr.. EDITOR: | am greatly pleased
to note that the law to allow chill.
dren passing a satisfactory examin
alton to leave school after the age
of ID, has been passed to its second
reading.
The law to arbitrarily reduce the
school age from Is to Is was
wrong.
This law is right. No child
should be allowed to quit school
until it is well grounded in reading,
writing, the fundamental rules of
arithmetic, etc.
Under the law now in force, 1
think that the majority who leave
school at 10 are not SO grounded,
and why?
1st. Because they do not study
at home, and learn as little as pos
sible while in school.
I'd. Because their parents, beng
ignorant and not knowing the
value of education, are perfectly
Indifferent and care nothing
whether the children advance or
not.
3rd. Because!the parents look on
compulsory education as hard
ship and evade it on every oppor-
tunlty, changing residence fire.
quently to get into districts where
enforcement of the law is slack to
escape it.
Now l say that The law now in
troduced will remedy these evils.
If parents know that they can
have full use of their children at
Is if they can pass the required ex-
animation, they will have a direct
interest in making them study.
Truancy will be reduced to a mi
nimum. The present sums spent
on truant officers can be largely
saved.
Parents will see to it that their
children go to school regularly and
that they learn their lessons. They
will make them study at home.
As is known by some of your
readers, l have earnestly favored
the passage of this law for years,
and l hope sincerely that it will
pass. G. II. DlCKEY.

great industries will be so crippled
that the mechanic will come in for

he must make up his mind to hard
times arising from no work for

to-day from the great industry of
the country. Now this industry is
threatened from two sources, re-

nous increase in rough field labor.
If relief is not furnished this indus
try will be crippled and that means

all classes and the mechanic parti-
and first.

of them that need grading. or cut
ting down. | see an article in
the HAWAIIAN GAZETTE on roads in
Puma, and that that district could
produce ten million pounds of coffee,
if they only had the roads to get to
the coffee lands. Now, Mr.. Editor,
Kona will produce ten pounds of
coffee for every one pound that
Puma can produce, if the Minister
of the Interior will only give US
roads, so that the people can get
around and move the coffee to the
beach to ship it. In the north end
of this district, where the most of
the tax money is paid, there has
been the least done to improve the
roads, and right there is where the
improvements are most needed.
There are some very bad hills that
need grading. 1t will require some
labor and blasting to do it, but
when it is once done, it will cost
but little to keep it in good repair.
Some of the hills that were graded
in North Kona by the road super
visor ten years ago, and have had
nothing done to them since, are
good yet. If the Minister of the
Interior would only come to South
Kona and see for himself, he would
know just what is needed.
Yours respectfully,
KONA PEOPLE.

Roads in KOna.

Mr.. EDITOR = The people in
South Kona want roads. There is
not a rod of road in the district
that can be called good road. There
are mule trails and water-courses
everywhere, but there have never
been any roads made, and never
will be as long as the money and
the work is in the hands of the
natives. There is not a native in
the district that knows any more
about making roads than a COW
knows about running a steam en-
CINE and yet our road board is
composed entirely of natives. And
they will have native lunas that
know nothing about making a
road, or how it ought to be made,
and the one that is luna in this end
of the district is about the poorest
tool that they could find he has
no more judgment than a child in
regard to road-making. There are
plenty of men in the district that
understand making roads that
would be willing to serve on the
road board, only for the sake of
having passable roads. There are
hundreds-yes, thousands-of dol
lars spent every year for roads,
and nothing done except cutting
away few bushes along the side
eff the trails. Not a thing done
to improve the road-bed or grad

THE LABOR BILLS.

Several bills have been intro
duced into the Legislature on this
subject, which have been referred
to the Committee on Commerce.
Tive reports have been made, each
accompanied by a bill which has
been offered as a substitute for those
before the committee. These bills
differ in only two or three material
points. The bill read by the mi
nority omits the photograph re-
quirement, and adds a proviso
whereby the Hawaiian Govern
ment is authorized to take charge
of all immigration in place of leav-
ing it with the planter, as provided
by the majority bill. The provi-
sions of these bills are in brief as
follows: LIST. The Minister of For
eign Affairs with the concurrence
of the Board of immigration has
authority to issue entry permits for
agricultural laborers, upon condi-
ton that such laborers shall remain
not over five years, engaging in no
labor outside of agricultural; con-
tinue in such work, and deposit
with the Board sixty dollars for
return passage. Any person fur
nishing labor to one of such immi-
grants who runs away is liable to
fine. Any such Iaborer VINO vio-
lateS any of the terms or conditions
OF such entry permit shall be liable
to arrest and fine and imprison-
ment. In order to more thoroughly
carry out the law. and especially to
insure the deportation of such
laborers, the Government may enter
into contract with any person to
carry the laws into effect. 1t is
also provided whenever a labor
convention is made with China, the
provisions of the act are to be sus-
pended. There are other provisions
OF minor Importance looking to the
efectual carrying out of the act.
The opposition expressed by some
members of the community to any
relaxation of the Chinese Exclusion
Act, has no doubt been largely in
transformation on lack of infor-
nation. "Bread-winner" and 9TH
ers who have written with almost
angry disapproval, ought to know
that at the present rate of wages
for field labor, which by the way
neither "Bread-winner" nor any
other mechanic will undertake, and
with the loss sure to come with the
removal of the sugar duties in the
United States, much plantation
work will cease. There will not
even be a continuance of the pre-
sent plantations and several of the
nee plantations will OF necessity go
put of business. In other words,

paying S34,839.84:

The noes consisted of Reform
members, with two honorable ex-
ceptions (Messrs. Macfarlane and
Hookano). The only just claim
that Mr.. Bowler had was the bill
for work actually done on the cleo
trio light foundation and on the
Palace gates and walls and had
the late Government entertained
the same views as are here ex-
pressed, his claim could probably
have been settled in full with the
payment of ten thousand dollars,
to cover all demands against the
Government.
No valid reason has been given
in any of the arguments in his
favor why the Government should
be assessed to pay more than the
first claim of $4,000, except that he
merits damages, and the amount of
these damages, it has been voted
by the National party shall be put
at $4,000. Can anything in the
history of New York city Boss
rule surpass this, except in amount?
Certainly nothing in Hawaiian his
tory can compare with this most
outrageous piece of legislation.

AN OUTRAGEOUS ACT.

The passage of the item by the
Legislature on Tuesday voting S34,
1884 of the public moneys to pay
the claim of John Bowler forms one
of the most extraordinary events
in the history of Hawaiian legisla-
ton. When this claim was first
brought in, early in the session. no
one dreamed that it could possibly
receive much support. 1t was
looked upon as trumped-up claim,
which when investigated would not
prove TO be one-fourth the amount.
The claim as presented consisted of
these items, with some allowance
for interest:
Building foundations to cleo
trio light station .........$ 2,047 90
Repairing Palace gates .. 1000 90
Damages for cancellation of
contract to return South
Sea Islanders. ......... 1925 90
$4S,922 90
The last claim of S39,275 was
originally put in at $4,000, not for
work actually done, but for what
might have been done, had he been
allowed to do it. AS time passed
on the amount grew, till finally the
sum of S39,275 was demanded for
work never done in connection with
these South Sea Islanders.
After debating the subject two
days, during which it appeared
very evident that the majority had
decided to legalize one of the most
barefaced frauds ever enacted in
any country, the item passed, by a
vote of % to 20. The following are
the names of those who voted for
