Today There Will Be More
Potent Bargain Offerings
Than on Any Previous Fri
day in the History Of the
Big Store. Observe:

Per can for Yerxa's Extra Sugar Corn.
This corn is grown in the State or Min
nesota, and its quality is not surpa ssed
by the fancy corn of the State OF Maine,
New York or any state i'll the Union, no
matter how fancy its price.
Yerxa's Extra Corn has been on con-
tinuous sale at this store for three years,
and has a magnificent record. JObberS
would jump at it at Sl.20 per case, but
we're not here to accommodate jObbers.
Our prices are pushed to the bottom
that they may come within easy reach
of the Housekeeper's purse. Take the
corn as an example.
The sale at s cents per can will be
confined to today friday, and to head
off speculative dealers not more than
two cans will be sold TO buyer.

and the faithful carrying out Of its
conditions on the part of the employ
er. The majority of the planters
would no douht prefer free labor if
there was sufficient on the Islands TO
guarantee him against strikes" and
labor combinations, but isolated as
the Islands are from the mainland, a
combined action on the part of the
japanese. say for instance about har
vest time, would result 10 great loss
to the plantation, aud until the sup
ply of labor is fully up to the de
mand, it would appear as though the
CONTRACT system were the only one
on which the planter could rely for
safety.
Under these conditions it will be
seen that while I fully appreciate the
great benefits to be realized by these
Islands from closer relations with the
United States, and that Annexation
would be consummation greatly to
be desired, I cannot but feel that any
political change which would annul
our present labor system would sim
ply cripple our sugar plantations,
and the United States, instead Of &C
curing a prosperous and wealthy
group Of islands, would be taking
under their protection country
whose chef industry might be bank
rupted by the change.

ELS SCHEME.
Text Of the letter Not Sent To
B1ount.

In communication to the New
York Sun, republished in the Star of
Saturday last. entitled, "Spreckels on
Politics." statement is made to the
effect that certain letter read at a
meeting of the Planters labor and
Supply Co. was drafted by Mr. Paul
Neumann and myself, and that upon
the letter being rejected by the meet
ing q request was made that it should
not be spread upon the minutes, and
pledges were secured from every
member present that the letter should
not be made public.
In justice to Col. Spreckels and
myself I beg to state the following
facts regarding the letter in question.
Shortly after Col. Spreckels' arrival
here he invited MIR. FL. 2. Baldwin
and myself to his house to discuss
the question of annexation as bear
ing on plantation interests The
letter referred to was written by me
at that interview as expressing Col.
SpreckeIs' and my own views on the
matter, and was to great extent en-
dorsed by MIR. Baldwin. The letter
was read at meeting of the p. l.. &
S. Co, and although approved of by
a majority Of those present it was
deemed best not to forward it to Mr..
Blount unless the approval was IN
animous. 1t was suggested to spread
the letter on the minutes, 10 which
motion I, acting for Col. Spreckels,
who was not present at the meeting,
readily gave my consent. No pledges
were asked from members to keep
the letter secret, neither was there
any reason to make it public, the
sense of the meeting not being taken
on that point.
In conclusion I would say that
fully agree with Col. Spreckels in his
opinion that annexation pure and
simple, without any regard to our
present labor system, on which the
existence of our sugar industry de-
ponds, or protection Of the civil
rights of Hawaiians against the host
of political intriguers who would no
doubt invade our shores as soon as
the treaty was passed, would prove a
disaster instead OF boon to these
islands. WM. G.. IRWIN.

Following is the draft of letter sub
mitted to the trustees and members
of the Planters Labor 81 Supply Co.,
referred to by Mr.. IRWIN in the fore.
going letter:
In viewing the political question
now pending between the United
States and the Hawaiian islands, one
of the most important points to be
considered would he as to what ex
tent the chief industry of the islands
would be affected should they be an
nexed to the United States, and
thereby become subject to the laws
now existing in that country regard
ing contract labor and the restric
tions imposed on the importation of
Asiatic leborers.
For many years past the matter of
labor and the possibility OF furnish
ing @ sufficient supply to meet the
requirements of our planters has
been the subject of many expert
ments and great expense, and labor
ers from many parts of the globe
have been brought to the islands
with view of solving this much
vexed question, but with the excep
ton of those of the Asiatic type the
experiment has always proved a fail
ure either from the fact that it was
impossible for laborers of the Scan
dinavian class to do field work in
this tropical climate, or by the rea
son OF expense attendant on labor
from Portugal and similar countries.
Realizing these conditions, the
planters have been compelled in
order 10 compete successfully with
other sugar raising countries, to
enter into negotiations for class OF
labor competent to fill the require
ments of plantation work, and at a
rate OF wages that would admit of
profit to the planters. With this
end in view the Hawaiian legisla-
ture, realizing the precarious condi-
ton of our plantations, was induced
to amend certain portions of the laws
restricting Chinese immigration, and
to allow under certain conditions the
admission of a limited number of
Chinese ldborers. As this, however,
was entirely inadequate to meet the
demand OF the plantations, a conven-
ton was entered into with Japan, by
which labor from that country was
secured in sufficient quantity to meet
immediate demands, and today about
seventy five percent. of the labor now
employed on the plantations are of
this nationality, all of whom came
on a three-years contract.
The Importance of the contract
system to our plantations must be
apparent to anyone at all acquainted
with the present condition of the
sugar industry of the Islands, for
not only does 1t secure to the planta-
ton the payment back of the heavy
advances which are made In order to
transport the laborer from his native
country, but it also protects him
against ''strikes," which might occur
at any time under a free labor sys-
tenn, and which, from the peculiar
nature of the sugar business, might
prove ruinous to that industry on the
Islands. In this connection, / would
also say, that not only is the contract
a protection to the plantations, but
it was also one of the conditions un-
der which the Japanese Government
consented to its subjects coming to
the Islands, as the contract insured
to the laborer regular employment

LAURA SWANSON'S FATE.
Coroner's Inquest Over the Remains of the
Unfortunate Chi:d.

Unfortunate Chitd.
Coroner Halves, this morning held
an inquest over the remains of little
Laura Swanson, the unfortunate
child run down by motor ear on the
red line of the Davenport Il Rock
Island Railway company on Fourth
avenue and Second street yesterday
afternoon. and whose death from the
result occurred at 5 o'clock. A jury
was summoned composed of Nj. f..
Sweeney. foreman; Charles f..
Kahlke, l.. V. Eckhart. &. A..
Martin, W. l.. Sweeney and
Charles Engel. The evidence of
John Stopp. the motorman in charge
of the car. was that the car was west
bound and stopped at Second street
to let lady off, who, being advanced
in years. required considerable time
to alight. As the car approached he
saw the little girl playing with her
doll near the lumber pile 20 or %
feet away from The track. She was
not on the track when he started the
car again. and the first he knew was
the Jolt of the rear trucks passing
over her BODY. He was not going
fast. as the end of the line was but
Il few feet beyond. When he went
back he found the child lying
on her face with her head to
the north and her limbs across the
track and her doll beside her. The
motorman did not know how the
child got under the cars. He testi-
fed however. that children in that
part of the town were in the habit
of PLAYING about the ears when
reaching the end of the line, and
causing the motormcn much annoy
ancc.
