was to the representatives of this high

THE AUDACIOUs JAP.

The news that comes from Homo
lulu is quite as interesting as it has been
at any time for two years, and presents
a phase Of the situation which, while
perfectly logical, must strike the Amer
lean PROFESSIONALS with all the bitterness
Of the proverbial dose of ones own
medicine.
AS was developed during the Stevens
Biount imbroglio. the Americans num-
Der only some two thousand of the
eighty or ninety thousand people on
the island. Aside from small Euro
peau contingent and the natives, there
are twenty odd thousand Japanese and
Chinese there. These have been i'm
ported by the sugar planters, for the
most part Americans, who betrayed in
the lonely islands the true love for free
trade in cheap labor that characteriZes
their fellow prOtectlonists in this coun-
try. These coolies were employed in
making sugar for export to this country,
free of tax under the treaty, thus oper-
ating practically as bounty OF two and
a half cents pound to the planters.
When the Americans, native and i'm
ported, toppled over queen Liliuoka-
lani'S government they. with that true
instinct of rule which characterizes our
race, set themselves up as the govern
ing power. They consulted only them
selves, of course, for what do the
Acknowledged Chinese or the tawny Japs
know about governing? Good laborers
they may be if they are not contentious
about hours or wages; well enough in
their place, but only fit to be governed
by men of the only race in the world
who have solved the intricate problems
of government-eXcept in their own
country.
So when the time came to merge the
provisional into permanent govern
n-ent, the Americans went on with
their planning and scheming. ignoring
entirely the Japs ami the Chinese, mere
hewers of wood and carriers of water,
in their esteem, fit to plalit and hoe and
harvest the saccharine cane, and be
governed by their diyinely appointed
Superiors. We can imagine the surprise
the astOnishment, the Indignation of
these expatriated Yankees when the
diminutiye Japs quietly Informed them
that they must be taken into this new
scheme of government and given a
voice in it. We can imagine that their
demand was at first met with lofty
disdain, such as All Sin mis hit meet with
in San Francisco should he offer his
services to the public as an alderman.
But the Jap has learned a thing OF
two since the days when we forced open
his ports to our benignant and superior
civilization. He has caught something
OF our idea as to the right of the indi-
vidual. He has caught some of our no.
tons or governmental obligation. He
mas learned that one duty of any nation
is TO make all other nations respect the
rights of her citizens when resident
abroad. And. too, he has learned to
man and navigate these modern big

LABOR TROUBLES INCHICaGo

The industrial situation at Chicago is
ominouS of evil days. The building
trades unions are threatening strikes,
and the contractors retaliate by threat
ening lockout, and delare they will
stop operations entirely on the LIST OF
May. If this threat is carried out there
will be season Of terrible suffering
among all classes.
Those who follow these occupations
have necessarily been out of employment
during the winter. Now that work has
been resumed the professional agitators
have obtained control of their organiza-
tions and propose to deprive them of
employment during the only season IN
which they can work.
The situation is indeed an alarm
ing one, and the consequences may
be serious not only to those di-
rectly concerned. but to the country
at large. 1t is sincerely to be Hoped
that the threatened trouble will be
averted. and building continued Oh
terms that shall be mutually advanta-
geous. The Interests of the employers
and employed are identical in this mat

SENATOR HILLS SPEECH

To the cursOry reader the speech of
Senator Hill in opposition to the tariff
bill appears void of offense against the
Democratic platforms and Democratic
principles OF the past. Its generaliza-
tons are faultleSs, its arguments spe-
cious, and yet its purpose is most
maiigD. With his denunciations of
the income tax MANY sincere Democrats
will agree. But he seeks to make this
tax the reason for opposition to the
entire measure.
1t is true, as Senator Hill remarks,
that the Democratic party is pledged to
tariff reform, aud that the pending
measure is not such ali one as meets
with public expectations. Some of it's
defects have been pointed out by the
GLOBE, and these might be remedied by
the senate, if that body should set
about the work honestly. But it is not
an honest step in that direction that the
senator is making. He objects TO direct
taxation as obnoxious, forgetting. or
wishing the country to forget, the fact
that the most onerOuS burdens the
people have to bear are those indirectly
levied upon the necessities Of life. He
makes the old plea in favor of absolute
free trade-an ignis fatuus that. how
ever desirable. is impossible of attain
ment as long as the governmental neceS-
sites are so great.
Senator Hill is not alone in the belief
that the pending bill, especially since
its amendment and practical recreation
70 .,,,,it Ion
not come up to the reasonable eXpecta
tons of the people. and more especially
those of the Democratic faith. Many
OF the most Objectionable provisions,
however, were inserted at the SoicIta-
ton of those who sympathiZe with the
senator from New York, if not of that
gentleman himself. 1t is certain that
one of the worst amendments in the en-
tire blll-the doubling of the duty on
linen collars aud cutfs-was dictated by
his colleague, Senator Murphy, for the
benefit OF an industry that lhrives in his
place of residence. Other equally bad
amendme hts were insisted upon for the
benefit of Senator Brice, the chief owner
OF the Nova Scotia coal mines, and Sen
ator German, who is largely interested
Ill coal and iron mines in West Vir-
ginia. And while these amendments
were being made Senator Hill remained
silent. apparently acquiescing in the
changes. 1t looks as il he was glad to
have them made, so that he might be
afforded a reasonable excuse for antag-
onizing the entire measure, and by
standing as the champion of an ideal
tariff for revenue only, achieve repu-
tation tor honesty to which he is not
honestly entitled.
The speech, as a whole, is disingenu-
Gus. 1t is not honest; it is not coura-
geous, and i'll BELTS one who sets himself
up AS leader Of the Democratic party
and an avoWed candidate for the presi-
ill 1896. it is unworthy of a statesman,
for it is demagogic aud lacks candor
and bravery.

rantable demands. They should realize
this senate. now nearly equally divided
between the two great parties; it means
the loss of the next house of representa-
tives; it means the loss of the electoral
votes of New York, New Jersey. Con-
necticut, and probably of every North
ern state; and finally it means the. loss
of tho next presidency. and all that it
implies. They should recollect that the
income tax feature is justly regarded in
New York and many other states as a
spoiiation and unwarranted sectional
attack upon their citizens of means.
They should consider whether there is
anything about
AN INCOME TAX so SACRED,
so desirable, SO popular, so just and so
defensible that its maintenance is worth
the risk which they are precIpitating.
Let them remember 1860 and the ultra
demands then made upon the Demo-
cratic party to which it could not hon,
orably accede. demands which led to
our division and defeat; let them re-
member the triuInphS of our opponents,
the civil war that followed, the devasta-
tioD,' the suffering, the humiliation that
followed, the military and the carpet
Dagger which flourished, the force bills
which threatened, and all the incidents
of the terrible years which darkened
our party's and our country's history
from 1860 to 1884. when through wiser
counsels, moderate action. concilatory
methods and restored confidence we
were Entrusted with power again; ana,
rejecting upon all these things, let
them say whether it is the part of wis.,
dom, by the insistence -upnn extreme
demands, to imperl the success of our
party again, and thereby tend 10 retard
the progress, diminish the glory, and
endanger the best and highest interests
OF our common country"

across Policeman Grant and tall man,
who were quarreling in the street. The
tall man had jag, and L, in my cOndi-

was stranger to me, to tell the officer
that would look out for him. We
started along together toward the rail
road station. where the stranger said he
wanted TO catch Central Pacific train.

a wordy war with him. which ended in
Policeman Grant striking the stranger,

500 MAY STAND IN,
Lake and TraHscontinentai Men
Want to Make Better Rates.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting was
held at General Traffic Manager Fin
ley'S Office, at the Great Northern, of
freight men in transcontinental service.
The object was to talk over lake and
rail rates. The lake men and the trans
continental men are DESTROYS of making
better rates than those of 1898. 1t looks
as though the 500 would not ask diff
ferential. but stand in with the North
ern Pacific, Union Pacific and Great
Northern in making a fair tariff. The
transcOntnental lines do not give much
encouragement in making paying rates,
owing to the unsettled condition else
where. Twenty-Five cents will prob
ably be the established basis Tor rates
on east bound business. That's the way
things look now.
