A Pittsburg dispatch says It is again re-

among the railroad employees to make q
united demand for an advance in wages on

issued by the United Order of Railway EN-
ployes, which includes clerks, telegraph
operators, switchmen, freight handlers,
conductors. brakemen, fremen and loco
motive engineers, that demand will be
made for 25 cents an hour, IS cents for over
time, and that nine hours shall be days
work, $50 instead of 200 miles to be days

The Indianapolis Journal says: Some of
the freight men are watching with interest
the order Of Commissioners Walker and
Blanchard to the Michigan Central and
Grand Trunk to turn some of their business
over to the Chicago and Erie. This is an
experiment to be made to prevent weak
lines from cutting rates. Diversion can be
carried on at Chicago, where there are 80
many large shippers, without injustice TO
the public or any shipper: but such an ar
rangement looks so much like a pool that
public sentiment may be with the Michigan
Central and Grand Trunk should they
decline to obey the order, which they have
done up to the present time.

surprise, worth coming a thousand miles
TO see.
There was the usual delay in getting
close in. and we had scarcely time to
view the city by the rosy light when we
saw macy people running toward the,
beach II seemed to me that they did
not even check their speed at the waters

both were disappointed. The native men

and though the few women who came
near wore each single garment they
managed it with womanly skill. In
truth, one may sec much more reckless
exposure at any bathing resort. 1t was
later and in the interior-but antici-

The rising sun now sent its brilliant
glare upon Honolulu and showed us

We took what is called the new route
20 visit Kealakeakua bay, where Captain
Cook was killed, and of that tragedy
received very curious account from
Mr.. Broughton, an aged Briton, who
reached the islands as n sailor in 1910.
He had IL direct from two aged Kanakas
who witnessed the killing. II seems that
after Captain Cook had carried matters
with high hand for awhile two par
lies formed. One said he was Lono, the
god; the other that he was Kanaka, or
''man," such being the meaning Of that
word. The argument as reported bore
q suspicious resemblance to that in the
correspondence between President Ed
wards and DIR. Samuel Hopkins. One
said, "IIe cannot be god, for heis cruel,
vindictive and greedy" The other said,

The Americans, however, prevailed
upon the British cabinet to annul these
acts. and Il Hawaii is now annexed,
what?
The Kanakas are about as well qualified
to run republican government as so
many school children of the intermedi-
ate grade. The boys of any English or
American high school are ten times bet
ter qualified. The Chinese are not even
to be thought of as voters. Equally so
all the other dark peoples. The Portu-
guese are somewhat better. Evidently,
If annexed, Hawaii-Nei cannot be state
or even territory. The 18th amend
ment must be ignored from the start,
and such must be the condition for half
a century at least. In short, the an
nexed region must be an absolute de-
tendency, ruled like q British crown
colony or distant military post--an abb
normity for which the constitution of
The United States makes no provision.

Hard work is left to the Chinese for the

They tell many hard stories like this

that thousands of men were killed in the

slant eyed Chinaman and the darker
Malay, the very fair Englishman, dark
Portuguese and medium American, the
smooth brown Kanaka and the rough
brown Samoan jostle each other good
humoredly in the streets and even prac-
tice sort of social equality unthought
of in the United States. During my stay
there King Bill was even as one of us in
many an excursion, and at poi suppers
it was not very uncommon to meet ma

chignons which were the fashion 20
years ago.
OF all our pleasure excursions those to
the Waikiki beach for bathing by moon

requirements in costume were much the
same as at Long Branch. Back in the
secluded districts, however, the natives
of both sexes took to the water without
the formality Of putting on "suits."

as belonging to the Polynesian branch

it, that they are Malays modified by long

And this makes it fitting to close with
few words on the political question.
This is not the first time by several that
Hawaii has in measure been revo-
lutionized. From 1880 or thereabouts
to 1913 it was sharply contended for by
various powers. In 1889 the French
compelled King Kamehameha III to pay
large sum in gold and held the king
dom in duress till it was done. The
American merchants raised and paid the
money, and thus saved the kingdom for
