Is 1t So?

Mr.. EDITOR: The Bulletin in its
"Charleston" edition of yesterday has
placed itself on record as fault-finder
OF the late Government, for not having
brought in more Chinese, as follows:
"The labor question was unneces-
sarily brought to a sudden crisis by the
politicians of the late Administration re-
fusing, for the purpose of catching few
votes, to carry out the law allowing the
importation OF the legal number of Chi
nese laborers per quarter. This precipi-
tated labor shortage. which virtually
caused the planters to turn to the oppo-
nents OF the Thurston Administration
for aid. This was not withheld"
Ii the writer OF the above will refer to
the Laws of 1887 Chap. %, Section 5, he
will find that there was no refusing
in the matter OF carrying out the law"
inasmuch as the law says that the cad
ministration" had an option in the
matter
The Bulletin writer must surely see
that, even if the whole l 200 a year had
been admitted under the law there was
nothing to prevent them from helping
out the Labor shortage" at Chinatown
sewing machines, or other handicraft,
in preference to going on to plantations.
In view of these simple facts it is a
silly charge to accuse the late Ministry
of g precipitating labor shortage y by
not admitting few more regiments of
Chinese who would in all probability
have entered the kingdom only to swell
the ranks of city mechanics. and the
charge that the refusal to so admit
Chinese was done for the purpose of
few votes" will be held, by

TUESDAY, DEC. 3, Il

In THE San Francisco Call of
November 10Th, we find the follow
ing paragraph:
"The rapid increase in the number Of
cases of diphtheria in this city within
ten days has greatly alarmed the Board
of Health There have been thirteen
deaths from the disease since Monday
and there are numerous cases in those
parts OF the city adjacent to detective
and foul sewers and dumping grounds.
The greater number of the cases are in
the Mission "
While diphtheria is not consid-
cred a contagious disease, yet from
the above it would seem to be
assuming the form of an epidemic
in that city, fostered no doubt by
atmospheric impurities referred to.
1t is well that our own Board Of
Health be on its guard.

SUGAR BEET SEED.


The latest attempt at a free-trade
scare is the rumor that Germany
out of revenge for the passage 81
the Mckinley bill, will refuse to
allow sugar beet seed to be export
ed to the United States, hoping IN
this way to crush 6at an industry
which the bill protects and in
which California is particularly IN
terested.
This Is certainly weak inven-
ton of the enemy. 1t so happens
that California already produces
sugar beets in considerable guam
tity, certainly enough to supply
seed to the whole United
States as soon as the demand
for it arises. More than this,
the quality of the California sugar
beet is superior to that of the Ger
man beet, the former carrying from
16 to % per cent. of saceharins
matter as against from u to 10 in
the German beet. In fact, it is more
than likely that if Nebraska and
other Western States go into sugar
beet culture on an extensive scale
the demand for California sugar
beet seed will become very large
and the demand for German seed
correspondingly small. = rs. F.

THE NATIONAL TRUM.

THE
TRUAI-

The National trumpeter il
again to the fore, and as usual hii
trumpetings are in sad discorC
with the plain historic harmony O.
facts. The defeat and forced
resignation of the Thurston Cabi
nett" On what question were
they defeated, but on the question
whether the Cabinet could speak
authoratively when not a unit il
opinion? Could three Ministers in
accord and one dissenting offer adj
vice to the Crown, and ought the
Crown to accept the advice of the
three as that of the Cabinet? That
was the question decided against
the three by the Legislature, which
forced the resignation of the Re-
form Ministry. G The same Legisla-
ture has since then placed itself on
record in deciding the same ques-
ton, with what degree of consist
tency the minutes of the House
show.
OF the present so-called anti
revolutionary Cabinet, two of the
four Ministers took office, one as a
Minister and another as Minis
ter's deputy with the Reform or
revolutionary " party.
So much for consistency As to
the labor question, it is far from
the fact that the late Administra-
ton, either for the sake of a few
votes or for any other reason re-
fused to carry out the claw al
lowing the Importation of the legal
number " of Chinese laborers per
quarter. The fact is, that the
legal number allowed by law,
to borrow the elegant verbiage of
the writer we are considering could
only be imported by the action of
machinery which was never set
in motion during the incumbency
OF the late Ministry, who were I'M
able to take the initiative. Had
suitable representation of the need
OF the importation of a certain num-
Der of Chinese Iaborers been made
to the Board of Immigration, and
by the Board to the Cabinet, as
provided by law, and the Cabinet
had then refused to act, this accusa-
ton might have had some truth in
it; as it is it has none.
As to the silly story that the rise
in value of the Punchbowl sites be-
ing due to the assurances held out
by the present Government, we sufi-
GENTLY refuted that a few days ago.
As to the still sillier story of the
Eva and Makaweli plantations be-
ing in any way due to the action of
the present Government, we might
ask when and by whom were the
Union Iron Works and the two
great plantations set on foot. What
are the dates of the several leases
for the required lands? When did
Mr.. Watson or Mirlees, TAFT and
Watson first take money interest
in Makaweli, no doubt the writer
OF the article we refer to would tell
US. Why should he not assert that
the Mckinley tariff bill with all its
prospective benefits came from the
same source, or why not strike out
boldly and claim the original Reel
procity Treaty, and so demand our
gratitude for the solid past, instead
of only fishing for the credit of the
somewhat dubious future.

THE LOSS OF II. NJ. S.
SERPENT.

| 10y 1GSJ HAL lnO SdO lAIO--
ligence ofsthe total loss of II. B. M
S. Serpent with 172 lives (only
three of the whole crew are report.
ed to have been saved was received
here. As the wreck is stated to
have taken place on the night Of
the 10th inst, the news of course
is Geographic. As great deal Of
interest is expressed On the subject,
we give here all the particulars OF
the ship and her loss that we have
been able to collect.
Some five years ago the Admiral
ty ordered the construction of a
number of vessels rated as " twin
screw cruiser, 3rd class" Seven of
these were built, each of 1770 tons,
and armed with six tive-ton guns.
Five of these were provided with
engines of $500 horse power, the
other two, of which the Serpent
was one, Of 1880 horse power, and
all are classed as having speed of
1873 to 15.6 knots.
Three, the Archer, Brisk and
Cossack were commissioned for for
eign service in 1888 and 'S9, the
remaining four took part in the
naval man@uvres of the latter year.
1t is not reported to what station
the Serpent was to be attached, but
she was outward bound when, it is
stated, in consequence of some de-
rangement to her machinery, it was
determined to put into Vigo or Cor
uinna on the coast of Spain, when
she struck or was driven on to the
rocks of Cape Finisterre, which is
about half way between those two
ports, The ship was built of steel,
but with only a single bottom. OF
course a huge gap was opened by
the first jar on the rocks, and when
she slipped off into deep water, she
sank Immediately.
In building her every other con-
sidegation seems to have been
sacrificed to the idea of saving
weight. The ship was not strong
enough for her power. The en-
gines were not strong enough for
their intended development; and
the armament was too heavy for
her carrying capacity. No doubt,
unfavorable reports have been
made to the Admiralty against the
whole class. They carried only
three light single pole masts, and
so were entirely dependent on
their engines.
Unfortunately the serpent was
taken for a model by the U. S.
Navy Department and the York
town, Concord, Bennington and
two other cruisers have been built,
or are building mainly on the lines
of the Serpent, though in conse-
quence of the unfavorable criticism
called forth in the English press |
by the reports of the performance
Of the whole class, that the Amer
lean builders have been able to |
avoid or rectify the more glazing
defects, so that the Yorktown and |
her sisters have more stability and |
more structural strength than their
British models. Still, the York
own was the only one of the
white Squadron" that suffered
damage from bad weather in the
recent cruise to Europe, and the
greatest blemish-the single steel
bottom, remains unchanged.
