up by the glow of determination.
Just as we were about to 20 on for the
second act she came out of her dress

Ii is, however, outside of China
that the system of forming unions,
or secret societies, an art at which
the Chinese have no equals, becomes
more apparent to the foreigner. To
attempt TO describe the various work.
ings of Chinese secret societies would
fill a volume. In America, until
crippled by firm legislation, they
controlled the labor supply and the
price paid therefor in many branches
of trade, and the laborer, whether
member of a society or not, was, by
threats, inundated into submission
to their orders. The California
"Highbinder," or in other words the
man deputed to execute certain
orders for secret society, is a
character too well known to need
further desert ption here.
At the Hawaiian Islands, as in all
countries were Chinese congregate,
there are secret societies, and it
would not be too much to say that
two-thirds of the Chinese here are
members of one or other of these
unions, and that the other third is in
such position that they have TO do
pretty well as they are told. All
who earn money subscribe toward
the general fund, which is largely
used in maintaining in idleness lot
of laborers, rather than they should
work for lower wages tJan is fixed
by the "ring'.
These societies, whatgv'r may be
their influence for evil, are so well
and quietly managed, hat it is
almost impossible to reach them by
process of law. In country like
Hawaii, depending so largely as it
does upon cheap labor to maintain
its prosperity, the existence OF as
sociations of this class is continual
menace to the agricultural interests
of the islands.
Whether or not means will be
found to deal with so peculiar class,
and wipe out secret societies that
hold dark conclaves where villanies
arc Matched out, and who spend their
nights in planning and schemjng in
secret places (almost invariably in
opposition to the interests of the
white many, is question that has
vet to be solved.

Politics in Massachusetts.
Charleston World

charleston NOfibl
The condition Of politics IN Massachusetts
is very peculiar, for in the fall the election for
Governor takes place and It Is difficult to III,
derstand how the policy Of tariff reform and
cheaper coal and iron can enter INTO the
State campaign and yet. il Governor Russell
is defeated for Governor this fall. that will be
considered as an indication that Massachu-
sets is again a Republican State and safely
Republican for 1899.
II will be seen. therefore. that the Republl-
cans have an advantage.
In addition. the agitation with regard 70
free coinage may prevent Republicans from
changing their politics with regard TO the
tariff. from a fear that they may be helping
on a party which may turn out TO be more III
favor Of free coinage Of silver than IN reform
of the tariff. for. while free coinage of silver
without tariff reform may not work any hard
ship 10 agrlculturists in approaching the
value of all produce not only what they buy
but also what they raise. 10 the artisans who
make up the majority OF Massachusetts, p0pu-
latlon and who raise nothing, and whose
wages would then buy less, that prospect IS
not alluTlng.
The contest then. in Massachusetts must
be one which will have in It many elements Of
doubt. and what the result will be cannot lie
estimated with any accuracy, except that II
will DO very close, and it will require the most
active eXertions of the Democrats TO carry
the State.

DEATH OF GOVERNOR FowLE.

The death Of Governor Fowle, the distin-
guished Chief Executive Of North Carolina,
which occurred very late ON Tuesday night,
was an event that has caused very sincere re-
gret among the people of Virginia, many Of
whom were acquainted with him personally,
and TO all of whom he had been long known
by reputation, the very conspicuous part
which he had for many years played IN the
public affairs Of the great Commonwealth
over which he was presiding at the hour OF
his passing away having given him promi-
nent position among the public men OF the
South.
In his death North Carolina loses repre-
sentative citizen as well as q useful and faith
full public officer 1t is to be sincerely
lamented that a career which promised 50
much further distinction has been so sud
denly cut short. Governor Fowle had hardly
attained the age when the highest forms of
political success are secured. He could justly
have looked forward to still higher honors
for he enjoyed the respect Of the people Of
his State in an unusual degree. and was in the
direct line of promotion. This prospect has
now melted away for he has passed beyond
the limits Of earthly preferment.

a marriage with the daughter of Mrs. O'Shea
instead of Mrs. O'Shea herself. with whom
