BLAINE AND SPRECKELS.

Prior TO the accession of Kane
hameha III. as king of the Hawai-
ian Islands, all the land Of the
island kingdom were regarded as
the property of the king, but, in
1910, Kamehameha made a tripar
tite division of them. One-third
be retained as crown lands for the
benefit Of himself and his heirs,
the other two-thirds were divided
among the natives, or set aside as
government lands for the purpose
of raising revenue. The bulk of
that portion which was given to
the natives has been sold by them,
and now constitutes part of the
sugar plantations.
1t is proposed by the Hawaiian
Provisional government that the
lands, formerly known as crown
lands, should be cut up into home
steads and small holdings to in
duce a permanent settlement, a
general improvement of the country
and a diversity of agricultural in
terests. This is the plan OF Pr ST.
dent Dole. He does not stand
alone in his desire to elevate his
country and its people, although
there are selfish sugar planters who
prefer large holdings, worked by
Chinese serfs, to satisfy their indi-
vidual lust for gain.
Secretary Blaine was alive to the
situation, and the undesirability of
large Chinese settlement in Ha
wall. In an official dispatch, dated
December 1, 1881, addressed to
Minister James NJ. Comfy, he said {:
"The industrial and productive
development of Hawaii is on the
increase, and the native people,
never sufficiently numerous to de-
velop the full resources Of the
islands, have been supplemented
by an adventurous labor element,
from China mainly, until the rice
and sugar fields are largely filled
by aliens. The worst of this state
Of things is that it must inevitably
keep on in increasing ratio, the ma
tive class growing smaller, the in
sular production larger and the
immigration to supply the want of
labor greater every year" Ia the
light of subse quent events, these
words seem almost prophetic. Dur
ing the decade since they we're
penned the native people have in
deed grown fewer, the insular pro-
duction has grown larger and the
immigration, from China mainly,
has grown greater every year. Mr.
Spreckels knows this, and he breads
annexation worse than leprosy, be-
cause it would check this Chinese
labor supply and diminish his sac
charine profits. He cares as little
for the "native element" az he does
for the interests Of the United
States
Mr.. Blaine not only saw the in
evitable, he also suggested rem
edy. He thought that "a purely
American form OF colonization in
in such case would meet all the
phases Of the problem" lie sug-
gested that the United States could
supply "the necessary labor trained
in the rice swamps and cane fields
Of the southern states" 1t seems
almost like an intervention Of pro-
violence that Claus Spreckels should
now come along with thoughts of
THIS same southern labor, which he
characterizes as the only well paid
labor in the United States, and it
is suggestive of former conferences
between the statesman and the
sugar planter.-Spring6eld Union.
