1t is from such reasons that
the dissatisfaction among the
japanese arises, and we have no
doubt that the diplomatic agent
of Japan fully realizes that his
subjects are not altogether to
blame for striking whenever they
are trod on and denied their
rights. The government and its
organs have been very anxious to
get white labor into the country.
If any of the preachers for white
labor ever has visited an agricul-
tural district in Europe, they
will have realized that very
different system prevails, and
that although, the sturdy
peasant is willing to work. and
work hard. he will insist in
having his rights and his in
dividual liberty as soon as the
work is ended. He will drink
what he pleases, buy his goods
where he sees fit, and have the
authorities decide every serious

STILL BOOMING.

The energy of the Advertiser
in booming the proposed electric
road and the Cansdisn syndicate
has not abated. bat the journal
finds it necessary to dodge con-
siderably to avoid being accused
of hidden purposes and lack OF
disinterestedness. 1t now states
that il would prefer to see the
franchise granted to the local
syndicate but at the same time it
states that it is impossible to
squeeze any money ont Of our
local capitalists so it will be
necessary to fall back on the
BaIlsntyne syndicate of which
Mr.. Jim Castle is member. 1t
is a pleasure to see the Advertiser
openly admit that all patriots
who possess "sll' the wealth in
the country are unwilling to
further enterprises which We are
told are in the interest OF the
country and for the sake Of public
improvements. But why then
did our esteemed morning con-
temporary sail into the Hawai-
ians in the perhaps-to-be legis-
lature and accuse them of lack
ing interest in public works.
They are no worse then than the
class from which the Advertiser
presumably will prck the per-
haps-to be senators. The pro-
p sed syndicate promoted by
Thurston and others is put down
by the Advertiser as a fraud. 1t
is not believed that it has any
capital or can raise sufficient to
undertake the work. We don't
doubt for moment that the
Advertiser is correct but We are
surprised that the virtuous sheet
never raised its objections and
doubts against any of the other
enterprises which have been pro
NOTED by Tburston and for
which be neither had capital or
backing but simply cold marble
cheek. Perhaps in those in
stances, though, there were no
opposing syndicate with a Castle
in the field.
The question now is; does the
Advertiser know that this Mr..
Bsllantyne has the necessary
capital 2 We don't mean on
paper but in absolute hard cash.
Is the paper sure that the Canad
ian syndicate is ready to begin
work say within three months
after the granting Of the fran
chise, and in a position to bring
the enterprise to a finish { 1t
seems to us that Canadian capt.
alists must be constructed in
peculiar manner if they really |
are ready to invest their money |
IN an undertaking from which
our local capitalists stand aloof. |
1t is to be presumed that the |
capitalists of Honolulu know a
little more about the future pros
poets of su electric road than
does Mr.. Ballantyne and his
associates in Canada. The 10
nolulu men according to the
Advertiser viii shake their heads
lock their safes and say mot
much, you don't catch us in that
game. And encouraged by
such spectacle it is expected
that the Canadian investors i'm
mediately viii roll out their coin
and SOW it in field of unknown
quality yes Of unknown locality.
They mag do so. There is no
accounting for taste and the Can-
adams are a peculiar lot; but we
propose to continue in our scep-
tic sentiments until we see the
color of the Canadian coin and
hear Mr.. Bsllantynes picksxes
on the Waikiki road.

RAILROAD RATTLE.

OWING to the recent coal strike in
England the Great Eastern railway is
fitting up twenty-five locomotives with
a liquid fuel apparatus to burn crude
oil or tar.
A CONTRACT has been entered into by
an American corporation for the build
ing of railway through the Jordan
valley along the Sea of Galilee to
Damascus.
The speed of the fastest railway
train is only a little more than one
half the velocity of the golden eagles
fight, the bird having been known to
make one hundred and forty miles per
hour.
A NAN who is in q situation to speak
from the card says that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company burns over
twelve Thousand tons IF coal day
between Pittsburgh and Jersey City,
at cost considerably over forty thou
sand dollars. This is for making steam
only, and does not include the coal
used for heating, running, pumping
engines, elevators, air compressors
and electric light generators, or for the
many tugs and ferryboats employed by
this line.

The state printing commissioners,
through their mouth-piece, ty.-Gen.
O'Connor, have decided to let the
contract for state printing to The
Madison Democrat, Notwithstanding
shat a Milwaukee firm, King, Fowle
& Co., bid lower on the work. This
action, no doubt, is taken by O'Con-
nor to appease The Democrat people
somewhat in their hostility to the ad-
ministration over the roster obbery,
although it is given out that the com
missioners will ''follow the directions
Of the statutes" in awarding the con-
tract. There is considerable mys-
terry, at any rate, about the whole al
and no practical printer believes
there is any profit in the work at the
figures offered by The Democrat,
much less by the Milwaukee firm.

Common Sense.

Abraham Lincoln's first speech on
the tariff question was short and to
the point. He said he did not pre-
tend to be learned in politicaS econ
omy, but he thought he knew enough
to know that ''when an American
paid twenty dollars for steel to an
English manufacturer, America had
the steel and England had thetwenty
dollars. But when hepaid twenty dol
lars for steel to al American manufac-
turer, America had both the steel and
the twenty dollars" That was the
sum and substance of the tariff ques-
tiOn as he viewed it.

The Stoughton correspondent Of
The Madison Journal says in regard
30 Mr.. Barwig's nomination:
1t is generally regretted by the farm
efs in this section that Congressman
BarWig was renominated. He appar-
emily cares nothing about Dane coun-
ty, and the tobacco growers feel that
he is not the person to look after
their interests. Had Burr w. Jones
been successful it might have been diff
ferent.
The same may be said of the wool
growers of the district Mr.. Barwig re-
presents, and if the farmers want to
have their interests correctly repre-
sented in Washington they should
vote for the nominee of the Republic
an congressional convention which
meets at Portage, August %.

The ten days allotted thepresident
in which to either sign or veto the
tariff bill expire tomorrow. Nothing
has so far been heard from him as to
his intentions and the general opin-
ion seems to be that he will allow the
time to lapse, the bill thus becoming a
law without any action on his part.

ton for Buzzard's Bay on account Of
a malarial attack, taking the bill
with him for consideration.
