THE JAPANESE COMPLAINT.

A complaint by the japanese
citizens to their government that
their people are being discrimi-
mated against by our foreign mer-
chants and the Hawaiian Govern
ment will undoubtedly bring to
light the exact status of affairs
through the proper channels and
put an end to suppositions and
wild rumors; and it also ought to
bring about an understanding that
will result favorably to both the
interested parties. We anticipate
the outcome will be that the Jap
anese will find that any opposition
they may have received from the
white merchants has been merely
the results of active competition
which bring about conditions to
which every nationality Is subject
and must expect to meet in enter
ing field in which the easy roads
to wealth are already pretty well
taken up. There are GER
tain matters on which the
people of every community
must decide for themselves as towhat
is best for its future strength and
prosperity. If by the final decision
it appears to the people giving
allegiance to another country that
they are being maltreated, it l.
their misfortune but not necessa-
rily the fault OF the country or
community in which they have
residence.
In the matter OF immigration, we
see no reason why the japanese
should feel injured that people of
other nationaIities are brought into
the country. Whether plantation
managers employ Asiatic labor,
European labor or American labor
is a matter for them to decide. and
we know of no law that compels
them to look to any particular
source of supply. II as some OF the
japanese seem to feel, the Hawaiian
treaty with Japan gives them
first lien on the labor market, it Is
time we found out the truth, and if
necessary, that the treaty should
be modified. The japanese will
have to produce more evil
dence than has thus far

THE EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION.

Even TO the most casual reader
the last annual report of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association
presents clearly the valuable work
done by the Board during the last
year. 1t shows that while secular
civilization i educating the many
alien races on these islands, that
Christian civilization l. not far be-
midland In its work, and l. rap
idly extending its influence among
all classes Of people. The address
of Chief Justice Judd before the
Association contains a valuable
summary of the names of those
who composed the missionary re
Inducements" and the date OF their
arrivals. How history will deal
with the labor of these men, this Is
not the time TO discuss. But seri-
Gus and broad minded men OF all
sects will unreservedly approve OF
the eloquent words of the late Pres
ident Garfield, who stated on the
floor of Congress during the debate
on the reciprocity treaty, that 1.-The
people of America had done a noble
work when they undertook to plant
on those distant islands the Chris
tan institutions of the great Re-
public"

THAT municipal governments a
well as national governments are
prone to let sanitary affairs run
themselves, until all at once they
are brought face to face with the
results OF Indifference and some
times positive neglect, was brought
out at a recent meeting OF the Am
erican Public Health Association
held in Denver, Colo. In
a paper read by DR.. Hart
zell it was stated that 216,-
900 tons OF garbage and 1000
dead animals afflicted with tuber-
culosiS, CHAMBERS, etc, had been
thrown into the Mississippi river
in one year by four cities. Other
instances were noted OF cities
dumping hundreds Of tons of gar
bage in districts from which large
water supplies were drawn. This

OF studied action to pollute the
water of other sections, but simply
from the fact that the average
politician is not a sanitarian."
The people don't think of the mat
ter till their attention is called to it
by the launching of an epidemic in
their midst. Hundreds of cities
and towns in the United States
suffer from an epidemic OF typhoid
fever every summer, and trust to
nothing but approaching cold
weather to wipe it out. The expert
ence is repeated the world over and
will probably continue till the
common people have been educated
to the fact that purity in caring
for personal surroundings is quite
as much an element of sound de-
as purity in politics.

they have not been allowed all the
rights and liberties for which their
residence or that OF any other ma

thermore it should be borne in
mind by the people Of every race

Of this country Is due the United

into consideration in the discussion
Of all public matters. 1t Is the

Defending the President.

BROOKLYN, n. y, Feb. 19.-At the
banquet of the manufacturers of Kings
and Queens counties last night, in
this city, Congressman Hendrix strong
~ defended the action of President
Cleveland in taking The most vigorous
steps to defend public credit and to
break if possible the back bone of the
hard times. He added: And now when
there are forces in American politics
strong enough to impose burden of
S16,000,000 upon the next generation,
rather than agree to write in plain
English that we mean to pay gold
when we ask the world for gold, it be-
comes the duty of every citizen to sup
port the courageous president, who re-
fuses to trife with our credit, and goes
forth to buy gold with our bonds at the
market rate. 1t will serve as
a notice to the world, that until the
world agrees on something else, we
mean to do our business at home and
abroad in terms of the worlds best
money. II is necessary not only to get
gold, but to keep it. \ = \ No com.
promise is possible between a gold and
silver standard. A double standard. oil
values has no meaning. Our
own trade dollar, which has no legal
value, sells at its bullion value in the
city of New York.

only about two hours behind regular

stop on her way down Sunday and wait
for the boat coming from the other end

her, is not correct. He says there were
no gorges or drifts or packs in the river
when the Norfolk started down, and
that though the clear ice was from ten
to twelve inches thick, she went
through it easily and without any
strain and with no damage. The whole
way from here to Norfolk, he says, is
now open, and why the Norfolk boats,
which made it so, instead of Baltimore
tugs, which will come up in it unob-
structed, should not get the five thous-
and dollars appropriated by Congress
for doing the work he can not tell.

M1sDEMEANoR CAsEs.-A letter from
Richmond says: Judge Crutchfeld has
adopted the decision rendered by the
Court Of appeals on Thursday for his
guidance in disposing of misdelneanor
cases and entered up two judgments
in accordance with it. One man was
fined $50 for disorderly conduct and
carrying concealed weapons and anoth-
er was sent to Jail for petit larceny. 1t
is presumed that the officers all over
the State will be advised Of this decision
at once and that the old method will
be resumed. This will save the State
a great deal Of expense, but will con-
siderably reduce the compensation of
Commonwealth's attorneys, especially
in the cities. Judge Keith's opinion
does not revive the old statute that
was annulled by the Mary Miller case,
but it spstains new act of the legisla-
ture, which re epscts the essential fea.
lures of the old one.
