DENVER. Col, May 31.-The citizens
of Colorado Springs have been alarmed
by private reports received there that
the strikers intend to go to that place

them as hostages. They held mass

property to the county commissioners

THAT LOUISIANA COMPARISON.

The Star a day or two since con-
tanned a communication from some
one in Louisiana who commended
that at a plantation in that State
twenty thousand tons of sugar were
raised by a force of about three
hundred men. The absurdity of
this has already been exposed and
indeed it is too obvious to need any
exposure. The idea that one man
could take care of eighty or a hun
dred acres of cane is something
which experts will pass by on the
other side with shrug and smile.
More than one Hawaiian planter
has been to Louisiana. Mr.. Baldwin
has Just returned from a visit to
Cuba as well as to the South. He
had every opportunity, as well as
every qualification, to make a
careful study of the conditions
of the sugar industry there
and the courtesy OF planters placed
peculiar facilities at his disposal.
If the negro in the South does the
work of nine and a quarter of Chi
namen in Hawaii, it is just posi-
bic that Mr.. Baldwin would have
found it out. The truth is that,
while Hawaiian planters have some
thing to learn, the state of the SUI
gar industry in Hawaii is, on the
whole, one of high efficiency.
At the same time there is an
idea of great value and Importance
at the basis of this unlucky COM
parison between Louisiana and
Hawaii. 1t is that labor is not
necessarily cheap because it is low
priced, or dear because it is high
priced. 1t is huge economic fall
lacy to confound low earning
power in the laborer with low cost
to the employer of labor. On the
contrary, low wages generally
mean low productive power. This
truth, which practical men are apt
to overlook has been pointed out
over again by economists of the
highest rank, such as Mill, Cairnes
and Gen. Walker. 1t is probably
true that American labor, which is

GOOD NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Private advices from Washing
ton are of the most favorable ma
ture, and indicate that the pros
poets of annexation are better than
they have been at any time since
the present Administration came
in. When a conservative Admin
istration Senator like Gray init
mates that Mr.. Cleveland is not
opposed to annexation under
proper conditions, it is impossible
not to attach a good deal of conse-
quence to such an utterance. Sen
ator Morgan is plainly working for
annexation, and no man will prob
ably have a greater share in deter
mining the ultimate result. The
wording of the Senate Committees
resolution is also extremely signi-
ficant. The burden of the resolu-
ton consists in the declaration in
favor of non-interference-that is
against restoration - but the
phrases of the first part of the reso-
luton indicate that the postpone
ment Of annexation is temporary
only, that while annexation itself
is plainly regarded as a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished, and
if wished then certainly to be at
tanned, now that nothing stands in
the way.

FfFKI AhN 9. 1884.

THE Schuetzen Club resolution
which was passed the other night,
asking that some means be devised
to find work for the unemployed,
should receive the earnest attention
of all our citizens. We do not see
that this is matter for the Gov
eminent, which has enough trou-
bles of its own to attend to, with
out lifting all the loads from private
backs. But private individuals
should give this matter some anx-
ious thought. 1t is singular that
it should be necessary to send out
of the country for labor, when there
is so much unemployed working
energy right here in the capital.

THE END OF AN HONORABLE SERVICE.

The termination of J. 0. Carriers
business connection with the house
of Brewer & Co., after long and
honorable term of service, has ex-
cited a great deal of sympathy for
Mr.. Carter, and is in itself mat
ter to inspire the sincerest regret.
We share in this feeling to the full
est extent. At the same time it is
only just to say that the stock
holders of Brewer & Co. have only
done what every one would have
done in their place, and what they
were justified in doing.
This is a world of conflict, and
political and religious differences
between true and honorable men
are natures common order. Some
times these differences pass into a
phase SO acute that they disin-
tegrate the strongest bonds between
men, and the present instance

MR.. DAMON AND THE AMERICAN
LEAGUE.

In his brief speech at the meet
ing of the American League on
Monday evening, Mr.. Damon said
that he desired that the American
League should have a representa-
tive in the Advisory Council.
Without criticising Mr.. Damon's
opinion, we would like to ask him
what political principle he has in
view in expressing that opinion?
The League is composed of a num-
Der of Americans. 1t excludes
English, Germans and Portuguese,
who largely outnumber the Ameri-
cans. 1t is also a secret league.
Does Mr.. Damon desire that every
secret league containing an un-
known number of members shall
have a representative in the Coun-
Gil? If number of Englishmen
form a secret English league in
favor of annexation, shall they
have a representative in the Coun-
Gil? Will he serve the Germans
in the same way? If there are
number of Portuguese leagues shall
each be entitled to a number of
representatives in the Council?
We are not discussing the question
of representation, but merely ask
ing Mr.. Damon how he proposes to
work out the principle in the Pro-
visional Government. Mr.. Damon
desires that only the older mem
bers of the League shall be repre-
sented. Why not the younger
members. Where shall he draw
the line? Some excellent men
have joined the League lately. Are
these to be excluded? What shall
be done if the Annexation Club
asks to be represented? And what
if the clubs of other islands ask to
be represented? In asking these
questions, we desire merely to get
at Mr.. Damon's theory of the case,
without criticising his remarks.

ANOTHER RoYALIsT CONVERTED.

One by one the papers which
have talked so loudly about the
beauty and justice of restoration"
are abandoning that policy. Harp
ers' Weekly has discussed the Ha-
waiian question from the Admin
istration's standpoint with about
as much "sound and fury" as any
journal in the United States. Re-
ferring in its issue of Jan. p to
the future course to be pursued by
the United States, it says as fol-
lows:
"But it is not necessary, or
even desirable, that anything
should be done. The Provisional
Government in Hawaii has now ex-
listed over a year. 1t has been
recognized as the government de
facte by other nations, the United
States included. Pres
ident Cleveland's request, as laid
before the Provisional Government,
was The last peaceable effort posi-
bic, and nobody thinks of using
force 20 effect a change"
This is the tune which the few
remaining rabid journals in the
United States are beginning to sing.
Where are the Royalists to garner
up their hopes now?

the highest priced is at the same
time the cheapest in the world.
What we desire to see is an ex-
tended application of this impor-
tant economical truth to the plant
ing industry of Hawaii. The lab
orer who earns high wages, because
he is well fed, well clothed and
housed, intelligent, contented and
ambitious, is the laborer who is
wanted in Hawaii. When he is
once established here the labor
question will be solved, and there
will be no occasion for exceptional
and questionable legislation to in
troduce class of laborers here
whom we do not want.
At present the class of labor
which promises best for the healthy
development Of Hawaii is the Por-
tuguese, and every effort should be
made to secure Portuguese labor,
under conditions of course which
will be profitable to both parties,
to the employer as well as the en-
nIovad

WAS IT POISON ?

Sickness among the military has
for the second time caused a rip
pie of excitement to pass over
Honolulu. The excitement in both
cases has been due to the suspicion
of foul play. In the first instance
a careful chemical analysis failed
to disclose the presence of any
poison, and while this was not con-
elusive as to its absence, yet it of
course tended that way. while as
every one knows the fatal canned

tins. In the second case, there

DRAMATIC EVENT.
quences.

The reconciliation between Bis
marck and the Emperor William,
long planned, would seem to have
really been effected at last. A
meeting has taken place, accom-
panied, apparently, by every de-
monstration of cordiality and good
will on both sides.
While every true son of the
Fatherland will rejoice at the set
Element of the long-standing feud
between Emperor and Chancellor,
it is hardly probable that the cir
cumstance will have any important
political consequences. Bismarck
does not carry his years as well as
Gladstone, and, if the accounts of
his health be true, it alone would
exclude him from any re-assump-
ton of the hardships of Office.
Although the peace has been
patched up, it is not likely that it
would survive the strain of fresh
official connection between two
such imperious natures. The En-
peror is about as disposed to be his
own Chancellor as ever, and the
years have not taught Bismarck
how to bend.
The reconciliation in this case
probably proceeds from an instinct
OF good feeling, q kind of aesthetic
feeling. Bismarck has been pri-
marily the servant, not of Germany
and the German nation. but of the
Prussian royal family, the House
of Hohenzollern.
No one ever served a royal mas
ter more devotedly than did Bis
marck the old Emperor William.
1t is only natural that his grand
son should feel that he still owes a
debt of gratitude and good will
which he hastens to express before
death interposes his quietus of all
claims.
Americans have no great sympa-
thy with the sentiment of personal
loyalty toward a sovereign. For
them this phenomenon belongs es-
sentially to the past. There is no
sovereign now but the people. They
can, however, all the better recog-
nize the propriety of a recognition
by the head of the German State,
of the great services of Bismarck
to the German nation.

THE VANCOUVER ARMY.

We publish this morning letter
from Mr.. Davies, in which he de-
MES that he has been associated in
any way with the alleged attempt
to recruit an army for Mrs. Dominis
in Vancouver. Mr.. Davies is en-
titled to the benefit of his denial,
and most persons will acquit him
at once of any completely in the
designs of traitors.
There is, however, a possible
ambiguity in Mr.. Davies letter.
He answers Mr.. Smith that he
will never find his name "mixed
up with conspirators, treachery or
traitors" We see Mr.. Davies gaz-
ing severely at the Attorney
General. As every reader of Mr..
Davies correspondence must be
aware, when TRAITORS " are men,
toned, Smith & Co. are meant.
Denial of completely with treach-
cry" with Mr.. Davies is simply a
solemn manner of washing his
hands of every suspicion of affiilia-
ton with the gentlemen who made,
who compose and who support the
Provisional Government of the Ha-
waiian Islands.

culated to mislead those who are not
well informed.
The GAZETTE has given an ac-
count of the formation of the
American League, and from time
to time a brief account of its pro-
ceedings. These have not always
been as full as desirable, because
the League is a secret organization.
Its objects, however, are no secret,
but are well understood. 1t is
composed largely of Americans,
most of them also members of the
Annexation Club, and its object is
to strengthen the Government in
its purpose to secure annexation to
the United States. Its member
ship is not confined to persons
of any particular occupation or
walk of life, but includes all sorts
and conditions of men, the only
requirements for admission being
American citizenship or descent,
and fidelity to annexation. The
League represents particularly the
" left" or radical, wing of the an
rexation party.

If there's a better or more
economical way of building
wire fences than by the Jones
Locked method, we've never
heard of it. 1.-THE best is the
cheapest is a term usually
applied to articles of a super
ior quality which cost a great
deal of money. The same ex-
preston may be used in con-
nection with the locked fence,
because it is decidedly super
ior to any other fence, and be-
cause it costs less money than
the ordinary style fencing.
We will be pleased to answer
any inquiries regarding the
locked fence.
The enamel bath tubs we
sell you, are made by the best
makers of these goods. The
same article is used in the best

price. The Standard Manu-
featuring Co., is celebrated for
the character of their goods,
and for that reason more of
their enamel tubs are sold than

les combined. Where shall

of their superiority. We have

was nothing canned, to put off the
doubt upon.
The royalist cause is unquestion-
ably disgraced by some very low
characters, but we are unwilling to
charge it with a revolving and in
human crime, except upon very
substantial evidence. At the same
time prudence requires that a
searching investigation should be
made, so that the probabilities on
the subject can be nationally esti
mated.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-02-09

seems to afford case of this kind.
1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Carter
should have cut himself loose from
the cause which in this country
stands for all that is saving and
good in national life. In having
done so, it is natural that he
should have TO bear the conse-
quences.

THAT CHINESE BILL.

1t is stated that the Chinese will
petition the Council against the
passage of the Chinese license bill
now pending in that body. They
regard the measure as oppressive
and unjust.
1t is not to be expected that leg
islation by Anglo-Saxons in the
interest If Anglo-Saxons shall al
ways please Chinese. At the same
time, it is no more than common
prudence not to ALLEVIATE unneces-
sarily any influential class in the
community. If the Councils adopt
any legislation very irritating to
the Chinese, it will probably have
the effect of throwing the weight of
Chinese numbers and Chinese gold
against the Provisional Govern
ment. The Chinese have hitherto
remained politically passive, and
it is eminently desirable that they
should remain so. No important
interest, either of the government
or of the community at large,
should be sacrificed to the desire of
conciliating the Chinese, but it is
equally clear that they should not
be unnecessarily offended.
And now for the application =
There is way of dealing with the
Chinese question, better, surer, and
far more drastic than this Licensing
bill, and that is the way of regis
tration. At the same time, if this
registration is universal it will not
constitute a grievance of any class,
and the Chinese will have peculiar
ground of complaint on account of
it. Let there be universal regis
tration. 1t will help the tax col
collector, the electoral registrar,
and the magistrate who tries to en-
force the vagrancy laws. 1t will
impose no real hardship on any
one, and its benefits will be felt in
many more ways than one.
While the matter of anti-C Chinese
legislation is under discussion it
may be well to refer again to the
ethical grounds on which all such
legislation must rest. Anti Chinese
laws are only just in as far as they
either protect the possessors of
country from peaceful invasion and
dispossession from without, or are
necessary to the maintenance of
high civilized standards and inter-
ests. We should not legislate against
Chinese because we have the power
to do so, but only in as far as we
have the right. 1t follows that to-
ward persons who have not ac-
quired a residence in this country,
we may proceed as we please, with
out violating any principle of nat
ural right. But Chinese who are
already in the country, and have
vested interests therein, must be
granted, if not perfect equality, at
least as much equality as is con-
sistent with the maintenance of
civilization in Hawaii.
