LEAVE IT TO THE WOMEN.

The New York Times, in discus
sing the question Of Woman Suf-
frage, draws attention to the fact
that In 1857 when the question was
agitated In New York State, the
proposition was made that the mat
ter be submitted to the women
themselves. All women citizens
above the age of twenty-one were
TO be enumerated and a ballot
then held by them, the result of
which was to determine the ques-
ton. This would undoubtedly have
been a reasonable and just solution
It's application IN Hawaii would
simply require an enumeration Of
all the women paying taxes above
q certain amount, with the addi-
ton of those who should prove
their ownership Of stocks or bonds
of certain value.
The following is the text of the
Constitutional amendment former
ly proposed In New YORK:
ssThat the Legislature at the first
session after the adoption OF this Con-
stitution shall provide by law
81. For an accurate enumeration to
be made of all citizen females in this
State above the age of twenty-one
years.
SO For an election TO be held as soon
as pFactic ,bie after the com pietion OF
such enumeration, at which election
ouIy citizen females above the age Of
twenty-one years shall be entitled to
vote upon the question Shall the
right of suffrage be extended TO fe-
males?' yes or no. And that lit the
number of votes in the afH rmative
cast at such election shall be major
ify of the whole number of citizen fe-
males shown by the enumeration
aforesaid, then, and from that time
forth, the right of suffrage shall be se-
cure TO all citizen females of this State
above the age of twenty one years.

The sale of Government lands
In the Hilo district, now adver-
tised, is a proof that the authori-
ties are In earnest In their intention
to make all the arabic public lands
available for settlement. The terms
attached in this instance are in
tended to secure bona fde settlers
and to prevent purchase by specu-
lators- They are easy, so that the
holdings can readily be taken up
by persons of small means. 1t is
to be hoped that the policy of de-
veIoping the country by breaking
down land monopolies will be
pushed forward with the utmost
energy.

TIE JAPANESE CLAIM.

It is an error to suppose that the
attitude ofthe Japanese government
toward Hawaii ia one of unfriend
illness. The fact that Japan has
thrown the whole Of her territory
open to Hawaiians-a privilege
shared with bat enc other nation
ality-is the best proof of the con-
trary. The Imperial Government
simply claims that its subjects
should be placed upon an equality
with other aliens. SO far as political
rights are concerned. In case no
thing ia done to satisfy this de-
mand, Japan will retaliate, as
stated IN the ADVERTISER the other
day, by stopping all further immi-
grafton of her subjects to this
country.
Whether .his demand by the
Japanese government is justified
by the language of the treaty or
not-and we believe this to be
doubtful is certain that it will
not be receded from. The dilemma
in which Hawaii is therefore placed,
is plain enough to see. She must
either coneede the claim, or give
up the japanese immigration.
The objections to a wholesale ex-
tension of the suffrage to Japanese
are perfectly obvious and need not
be enlarged upon. 4 franchise so
framed az to admit only limited
number of Japanese property hold
ers, would not be Objectionable.
What Hawaii wants Is good citi-
zzns, and she ought to take them
wherever she can get them. It is
very possible, therefore, that the |
franchise can be fixed In such 8 way |
as to satisfy the claims of Japan |
without prejudice to- the interests |
Of Hawaii.
II, on the other hand, Hawaii |
can get along without any more
Japanese laherers, her course is ex-
.remely simple. She can deny the
Japanese claim, not because there
Ire not a number of Japanese well |
qualified to exercise the suffrage,
but because her politics are already
by as many race
problems as she can handle. There
could be no offense and no griev-
Lnce in this, because japan herself
ioes not allow Hawaiians TO vote,
md the privilege is extended by
his country only to such CLASSES Of
oreigners as have proved them
elves active and valuable support
rs of its institutions.
