REGARDING the rate of wages for
farm laborers in California, noticed
by correspondent in the ADvER-
User yesterday, we are informed
bv Judge Bronson, who has resided
in Southern California for twenty
five years, and has had large ex-
perience with all classes of laborers,
that the rate of wages by the month,
with board, is now 81 per day, and
that it cannot be obtained for less.
This rate, with the price Of board
added, would bring the same result
as that stated by the Government
report-S36.50. Judge Bronson
also states that, in Los Angeles,
the amount paid to ordinary labor
ers who are employed as matter
of charity is $50 per day. The
Chinese farm laborers are paid S26
per month, without board.

EX-MINIsTER STEVENS received
as great an ovation from the Mich
igan Club of Detroit, when he adj
dressed them at their annual BAN
auet. as did Minister Thurston on q
similar occasion in Washington.
In spite of the fact that Thurston
is a little too "uppish" for Biount,
it is pretty safe to say that, in the
American Capitol, he is by good
deal the more popular man of the
two.

MORE ON THE LABOR QUESTION.

An article appears in this morn
ing's paper which contains an ar
ray of very interesting facts regard
ing the condition and earnings OF
farm laborers in different sections
of the United States. The author
of this article would make it appear
that the actual earnings of such
labor are less than those of planta-
ton laborers in Hawaii. The figures
given, however, hardly bear out
this assertion, for the cash surplus
of farm hand at the end of the
season, as given by our contributor,
is equal to the total receipts of a
contract laborer in Hawaii for the
entire year.
Whether this be true or not,
however, it is still true that it
would take a great deal of persua-
sion to induce a large immigration
from the United States to Hawaii,
merely because the rewards Of labor
might happen TO be dollar or two
better per month here than there.
Nothing of the kind is to be hoped
for. All that it is reasonable to
expect Is that Hawaii will get the
benefit of small overflow from the
United States when it finally be-
comes American territory.
Any change in the present sys-
tenn of plantation labor can only
come as the slow growth of years.
Cautious experiment upon the plan
tations is the only thing which can
determine what will work and what
will not. As a result of such ex-
periments We may hope to see in
the future a wide extension of the
system of planting by small farm
ers who sell their cane to a central
mill. Possibly this system will be-
come the prevailing one. If it does,
it will practically dispose of con-
tract labor, though not necessarily
of the employment of Asiatics. 1t
is useless to theorize On these mat
tiers. The industries of the coun-
try must be maintained, and it is
safe TO say that they cannot be
maintained by men who are ignor-
ant of all the conditions under
which they have been brought into
being. The ignorant or impatient
critics of this very imperfect world
of fact need the SOLDERING down
which only harsh experience can
bring.
This does not mean that men
should be weakly satisfied with
things as they are, giving Up the
hope of lettering them 1t simply
means that if efforts at reform are
to be fruitful they must be based
on fact, on the patient study of
actual conditions. Theories must
be brought to the test of expert
ence. Reform the sugar industry
yes; but do not reform it out of
existence.
The proper course Of the Gov
eminent is to put into practice as
soon as may be, q wise and liberal
land policy, and thus break up as
far as possible the land monopoly
which at present lays deadening
hand upon the development of the
country. When farmers from the
United States can obtain promising

ONE of the most curious OF
Blount's blunders is his statement
made to the Senate Committee
that United States Treasury notes
were as plentiful in Honolulu as in
the United States, and that, so far
as he was aware, there were no
Hawaiian issues of paper. If this
little instance furnishes & fair in
dex 10 Mr.. Blount's accuracy, the
contents of his report need surprise
no one.

5. X. PUA has blossomed out in
a letter TO the New York World, in
which he thunders against Min
iaer Willis in his best Legislative
vein. He declares him 20 be a
traitor" who has betrayed the
Hawaiians, and demands his i'm
mediate recall. In short he makes
the American Minister out to be
almost as lost a character as any
one of the despised missionaries
themselves.

ALWAYS FOR ANNEXATION.

In the Councils yesterday, Mr..
Tenney Intercepted the Minister
of Foreign Affairs regarding an ar
ticle which appeared in the Star
the day before, and which intimat-
ed that the Government would not
favor annexation at all unless the
islands could be governed some
thing as the District of Columbia
is. thus denying the franchise to
the natives.
Mr.. Hatch of course repudiated
any responsibility for the editorial
in question, and emphatically dis
avowed for the Government any
sympathy with its sentiments.
The Government is fully COM
mitted to the policy of annexation,
without any reservation as to the
form under which annexation shall
take place. The original procla-
nation upon which the Govern
ment is founded, made no reserva-
tions or limitations upon this sub
ject. Annexation as a State, as
territory, as a district governed by
Commissioners, like the District of
Columbia, has been mooted and dis
cussed, without the Governments
having ever committed itself Off
cially, or, SO far as we are aware,
even expressing a preference for
one form rather than another. The
treaty negotiated by the Commits
sioners left this matter in abey-
ance, securing annexation first, at
all events, and in so doing repre-
scented with exactness the position
of the Government and the senti-
ments of the Annexation party. 1t
disassociated the questions of an
nexation and the form of govern
ment after annexation. The form
is not material, for it can be
changed at any time. If Hawaii
is annexed as a territory and we do
not like it, agitation will soon
transform the Territory into a
State.
The final form of government TO
which the Provisional Government
looks forward, with annexation or
without it, is full representative
government, in which the native
race may be sure of taking its just
and proper share. There is no in
tention or desire on the part of the
Administration, and we believe on
that of any considerable section of
the Annexation party, to disfran-
chise the Hawaiian. Of this fact,
no more substantial proof can be
offered than is contained in the
provisions of the Constitutional
Convention bill, which throws the
ballot open to the natives, without
even the restriction of a property
or income qualification.

holdings on easy terms, it is not
unlikely that reasonable number
may be induced to come here, and
thus swell the numbers of that
class which constitutes the back
bone of every country.

DEAR SrR:-I have just completed some
three miles of the Zones Locked Fence"
and must say that am very much pleased
with it, in fact it is THE fence for a ranch.
| had about a mile to construct over
"pahoehoe," where it was nearly impos-
sib!e to get post down and found, in this
case especially. the Jones Fence was a
great saving of labor. There are places in
this fence where the posts are at least rs
feet apart, the space between filed in with
stays. There is no sag to it and it IS as
springy as a wire mattress. am confident
that it will turn ordinary stock.
l have some two and half miles more
to construct over a country where wild cat
tie are very plentiful, and as soon as it has
undergone the test there will write you
further. If it will turn the stock on this
part of the land, and am confident it will,
you can rest assured that it will turn most
anything except lava flow.
Very truly yours.
