PORTUGUESE LABOR.

The resolution introduced into
the Councils yesterday looking to-
ward the renewal of Portuguese
immigration, is long step in the
right direction and should be fol-
lowed by prompt action on the part
of the Government. There seems
to be considerable difference of
opinion as to the feasibility of OBJ
tanning mure Portuguese, but as to
the desirability of doing so, there
seems to be little or none. Portu-
guese labor is of a high class, in
telligent and efficient, and it is pre-
ferred by most planters.
There never was a time in the
history of the country when an en-
lightened labor policy on the part
of the Government was more nee
essary than it is at present. No
doubt there is now as always a d.
vergence of interests. Industry
must have labor the country must
have citizens. The only thorough
way to reconcile both these demands
is to find and introduce a class of
laborers who will do the work of
the country and yet be fit to
make the laws. Laborers of this
kind, a sound agricultural pop
ulation, are the only firm foun-
dalton for a nation. If Hawaii
can get them, she must have
them, and the only way to get
them is never to weary in the effort.
Intelligent, persistent experiment
will one day solve the problem and
provide Hawaii with the free, sturdy
and intelligent agricultural popu-
latlon Of the future American State.

NOT JUST TO WILLIS.

There is one thing contained in
the Senate report which will arouse
some indignation here, and that is
its exoneration of President Cleve-
land at the expense of Minister
Willis. The report declares that
the President abandoned his at
tempts at reconciliation as soon as
he learned of the Queens desire to
kill her opponents, but that Gun
fortunately Willis, in the belief
that he was following instructions,
held two or three interviews with
the Queen thereafter"
From the Hawaiian standpoint,
there is no doubt that Mr.. Willis
greatest mistake was in continuing
the negotiation with Liliuokalani
after be learned of her bloodthirsty
intentions. Taken in connection
with the just estimate which Mr..
Willis had formed in regard to the
respective parties, his course in this
regard is the one thing which peo-
pie here find it hard to understand
and forgive. They think that the
American Minister should have
jumped at the chance to drop the
negotiation. At the same time
there can be no doubt that he not
only supposed himself to be pursu-
ing his instructions, but that he
was actually pursuing them, with
a superfuity of zeal which it is
painful to see wasted in so bad a
cause. Mr.. Cleveland did not, upon
receiving intelligence of Mrs. Dom
mis- disposition, renounce the ne
gotiation, but merely told Mr.. Will
lis that if she still refused to aban-
don her position, he could do no
more for her.
Let justice be done, tho the Pres
ident fall.

GLAD TIDINes.

The news received by the Ocean
ic yesterday has been received with
general Joy throughout Honolulu,
as it will be throughout the ISL
ands. The report of the Senate
Committee has been anticipated
with the keenest interest by both
sides in Hawaii by the royalists
in the extravagant imagination
that it would contain the death
warrant of the Provisional Govern
ment, signed by the President, and
confirmed, sealed and ratified" by
the Senate by the Annexationists,
on the other hand, with great mod
Grafton and sobriety. The actual
report dashes the hopes of the e1-
Queens faction in the dust, while
it more than fulfills the rosiest an
ticipations of the Government.
An extended account of this re-
port will be found in another col
umn. The full text of the document
will be awaited with interest.
Drafted by the leading authority
on international law in Congress,
and signed by the majority of the
committee, it is complete vindi-
cation of the course pursued by
Minister Stevens. While it does
not directly declare in favor of an
nexation, its whole tendency is I'M
equivocally in that direction, and
it breathes a spirit of unmistak-
able friendliness for the Provisional
Government. The declaration,
moreover, of two of the Democratic
members, who did not sign the re-
port, in favor of annexation must
be regarded as extremely signif-
cant. The outlook for Hawaii and
the annexation cause is more hope
full than at any time since the
Cleveland administration came
into power, and the improvement
in the situation will inspire all
loyal Hawaiians with new conf
dence and courage.

A FAIR PROPOSITION.

Why not put the question OF
white labor on the plantations to a
practical test? Let some one OF
the planters offer $50 a month to
white men who are willing to en-
gage in field labor. This is double
what is paid the Japanese, and the
understanding should be, of course,
that the men thus engaged should
do twice the work accomplished by
those who receive SIS per month.
If they do three times as much
work, as some enthusiasts claim,
the wages should be promptly raised
to $45 a month.
Thirty dollars a month is more
than is paid in the Eastern States
for field labor on farms. lis three
times as much as is paid the same
class of labor in Germany. No
one will claim that planters should
pay more for work than it is worth,
and the criterion for work is the
market price. These are truisms
which will be disputed by nobody.
There is no reason why the
question of white labor on the
plantations should not be submit
ted to & practical test. If the I'M
in this city are not will
ling to work on the plantations
they cannot complain if the plant
ers seek laborers who will.

THE VACANCY FILLED.

The election of D. B. Smith yes
terday to the Advisory Councils
will meet with general approval.
1t is step in the interest of party
harmony, and will be so under
stood and accepted by all factions.
The League made a communica-
ton to the Councils stating that its
candidate was pledged to nothing
except the platform of the organi-
cation, which had been published,
and a considerable number of citi-
zens petitioned the Councils in IA
vor of the Leagues candidate.
The candidacy of Mr.. Smith,
therefore, stood upon practically
the same basis as any other, while
the fact that he had received the
formal endorsement of a large
number of residents was a strong
reason for confirming him. We hope
and believe that Mr.. Smith will &C.
quit himself as a staunch annexa-
ZIONIST in days of good report and
of evil report

the Legislature, who are called away
from their regular. vacations any
where from three to six months
together. One hundred dollars will
offer a tempting inducement to
many a would-be wise man to try
his hand at law-making, who would
otherwise stay at home. The men
whose counsel would be valuable,
but who will be kept from the con-
vention because they cannot work
a few days without compensation,
will not prove numerous.
The oath which voters and can
didates are required to take IL n
matter of course, and calls for no
particular comment. 1t is an oath
of allegiance which simply takes
the place of that required of can
didates and voters by the Constitu-
ton of 1887.
The delegates for the convention
are to be elected by universal suf-
frage, no one being excluded from
the ballot except idiots, the insane,
criminals, ETC., etc.

THE ROYAL THANKS TO CONGRESS-

My Great and Good Friends: I must
write you this letter
To tell you Pm feeling of late rather
better,
Though not much, very much, since
all of you gents
Have give me vote of your sweet
confidence.
I must tell you how deeply 1 feel in
my grief
This generous mark of Congressional
belief
In my goodness and virtue and all of
those things,
Which the novelist loves and the dear
poet sings.
Because my good friends, it shows
clearly to ME
That you know a good thing when a
good thing you see.
My throne is upset and my Kingdoms
sham,
And no one, but you gents, is caring
What becomes of a Queen of high
royal blood,
Whose sceptre is busted, whose title
is mud7
You could have done better, 1 hoped
that you might,
And was quite ready to go in and
fight,
With you at my back; but since it
can't be,
I'll put up the confidence you have in
me,
AS sign to the world that whatever
am,
You love and respect me and hate the
f1im-fiam.
These ham-Sandwich buffers and your
people, too,
Would work on Queen, in the hope
to hoodoo
Her hopes of the future, her throne
and her crown,
And ruthlessly White-Cap her out of
the town.
Again, here's my thanks to you; my
Is empty, dear friends, but
Pm yours truly,
Honolulu, Feb. 9, 1894.

FOR TIE WIDOWS FUND.

No better evidence of the regard
in which the late James Kauhane
was held could be afforded than in
the generous contributions that are
being made here and on the other
islands for his widow. By the
Kinau was received from Mr.. Geo.
H. Williams of Hilo a draft for
$36.75 contributed by the police
and other friends of the deceased
living there, and which will proba-
bly, be increased by further contri-
buttons. 1t is seldom that a native
policeman loses his life in maintain
ing law and order, but when a case of
this kind does happen, generous
response on the part of the public
to provide for his family will do
more to inspire others with true
bravery than years of talking and
preaching.

Four reports or quasi reports

Four reports or quasi reports
seem to have emanated from the
Senate Committee; that of the
majority which approves Stevens
and upholds the Provisional Go
vernment; that of the Republican
minority which attacks the Presi-
dent that of the Democratic min
ority which exonerates Wiltse, but
charges Stevens with "unbecoming
participation " in the events which
led up to the revolution finally the
statements of the Democratic Sena-
tors Turpie and Butler, which
declare expressly in favor Of
annexation.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The bill providing for the calling
of convention to frame a new
Constitution has been reported to
the Councils, and yesterday passed
its first reading. The bill has been
very carefully drawn, and offers
little opportunity for criticism. We
are, however, of the opinion that
the number of delegates should be
larger than eighteen. Twenty-one
or twenty-four would be better. and
would make the convention more
truly popular.
The proposition to pay the dele
gates seems also to be very unne-
cessary. The case is not anala-
gous to that of representatives in

THAT part of the Morgan report
which handles the Presidents res
toration policy is a masterpiece of
verbiage." It smooths the raven
plume of the night which has set
tied on that fasco until it almost
smiles. At the same time, it is
fair a picture OF the Presidents
conrse as the charcoal sketches of
some of his opponents. Even Cleve
land is not so black as he is
painted.

MORGAN'S HAWAIIAN REPORT.

Senator Morgan of Alabama. chair
man of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, has submitted the report
of that committee adopted under a
resolution requiring it to report
whether any. and if so, what irregu-
laritles occurred in the diplomatic or
other intercourse between the United
States and Hawaii in relation to the
recent political revolution in Hawaii
This report, which was prepared
by Morgan and concurred in by
Frye, Dolph and Davis, is, in the
first place, a severe arraignment of
Cleveland and Gresham, inasmuch
as it asserts that this Government, in
dealing with Hawaii, could have no
break in its line of policy cores
ponding to change in the Office of
President, which is a proposition
that seems never to have occurred to
MIR. Cleveland. The report also
approved Minister Stevens order
landing troops from the Boston,
commends the work of the mission
aries il civilizing and building up
Ihe c1antry, blsmes Willis for his
ii advised action, and declares that
the crown and scepter have depart
ed from Hawaii forever.
The report declares that the Presi
dent of the United States has not in
anywise heen party to any irregn
larlty or Improperly of Conduct in
his high Office, and with this Cleve-
land will have to be content, even
though he may think the report
damns him with faint praise.
Butler, Turpie, Daniel and Gray,
Democratic members of the commit
tee, submit minority report, but it
differs from the majority report
chiefly In condemning Minister
Stevens, which was to be expected
from the allies of the President.
Senator Morgan is regarded as the
best constitutional lawyer at present
in the Senate, and the quality of his
Democracy is certainly unimpeach
able. The fact that he has prepared
the majority report will give much
keener sting to Cleveland than if it
had emanated from Republican
sources, for no one will question
Morgan's ability or his conscientious
ness any more than his Democracy.
The report will be but sorry comfort
for the ex-Queen and her great and
good friend of the White Houses.

HE DID NOT KNOW IT.

Mr.. Blount's statement that he
had not the slightest intimation OF
the Presidents intention to reinstate
Liliuokalani until after his depar-
ture from this country, is mildly
sensational. The indications, how
ever, are that it is probably true.
Mr.. Blount expressed himself
when he first came in interviews
with native societies in a way
which quite excluded the restora-
ton idea. AS he prolonged his
stay, however, he began to alter
his tone, until finally he closed his
report with what appears to be,
when stripped of its rhetorical
robes and forced into a gramma-
teal straight jacket, recommend
alton in favor of restoration.
If Mr.. Blount's present testi-
moDy is intended to disclaim any
responsibility for the restoration
idea, it will be nugatory. The
tares of restoration were sowed all
through his report by his own
hand, and if they choked the truth,
no one was responsible for the re-
suit but himself.

GOOD LAW.

has written ON the Hawaiian ques-
ton will add fresh laurels to his
reputation as a statesman and a
lawyer. He has taken not a mar
row, but broad view of the ques-
ton, and, while assisting in his
character of q good party-man, the
Administration to extricate itself
from a network of difficulties, he
has been alive to the interests of
the United States and his own life
long principles.
Senator Morgan seems to have a
clear view of the fact that the prin-
ciples of international law have a
different meaning and scope when
applied to the relations of great
nations with these petty principali-
ties which exist only upon suffer
ance. The ordinary doctrine of
non-interference, in particular, is
never taken with strictness in such
cases. In this country the repre-
sentatives of foreign powers have
never preserved an attitude of strict
non-interference, On the contrary,
they have been the constant ad-
visors of the various kings and
governments, have been appealed
to in doubtful moments, and 1T
such times have exercised an IN
f1uence which has often been of the
greatest weight. At the time of the
Moreno episode, the course adopted
by the foreign diplomats was GER
tainly one of non-interference, and
it was instrumental in driving
Moreno out of the country. The
representatives of the United States,
England and France raised their
flags over their legation and sus-
pended official intercourse with the
Government. This was well done,
though, from the standpoint of
strict international law, unwar-
ranted.
The above is only one instance
among many. According to the
of the downfallen Cabi-
net, the British Minister, Major
Wodehouse, went to the Palace and
inquired whether the Queen in
,ended to promulgate a new con-
and he stated that if she |
mad the intention she must aband- |
IN it at once. This was very gross |
from the technical |
point of view. But Mr.. Wode- |
house is more likely to be COM
than censured for it. If |
Liliuokalani had respected the adj
1ice she would be Queen of Hawaii |
.oday, instead of sitting solitary in
Washington Place, vainly thirsting
lfter the bitter waters of revenge.
Rules of international law are
made for man, and not man for
'ules of international law. The
cope of these rules is best ascer-
aimed by examining their actual
in practice. The re-
ult of such examination shows
bat in the case of Hawaii, at
east, the theory of strict non-inter-
'ention has always been taken with
. wholesome grain of salt.

1t has been said that one should be-
ware of home in which there are no
canary birds or potted plants, as it
would be difficult to find a warm heart
within.
There must be some warm hearts in

longing to the house are the most beau
tiful flower beds yet seen in Astoria.
Some one told a passer by that VIM
Young lived in the house. If so, Mr.
Young ought to be proud of his horti-

that this beautiful yard belonged to
