CAUSE OF STRIKES.

Demonstrations of discomfort up
on several of the sugar plantations
of the country, particularly on the
part of the japanese, has given this
question a serious prominence that
demands investigation, and amelio-
ration if such thing is possible.
A band of thousand men, more
or less, ignorant and consequently
hard to handle, rebelling against a
mere handful Of their employers,
who, if worst came to worst, could
offer very little resistance and far
from an overpowering influence, is
matter that cannot be winked at.
Our conditions are manifestly diff
ferent from those which surround
the average laboring community of
the United States or England.
Wages can cut very little figure.
Laborers come to this country I'M
der contract their monthly stipend
is established by ironclad rules
which are established and agreed
upon by both parties, and which
neither has a right to question.
The employees bind themselves out
with full knowledge of what they
will receive financially during the
term of the agreement.
Since any difference of opinion
with regard to wages is wiped out
by both the employer and employee
before the laborer enters the field,
what then are we to fall back upon
in solving the strike problem?
Why is it that upon two planta-
tons, where wages are the same,
we find the laborers In constant
turmoil upon one, and the work on
the other moving along without
break or hindrance? In many
cases we believe the cause Of the
troubles may be found in the char
acter of the lunas employed. 1t
requires certain amount of dis
eliminating intelligence to deal |
with even the lower class Japanese.
Men of the lower ex-sailor or ex-
cowboy type, who would rule with
the whip-hand entirely, cannot be
a bowling success. Particularly is
this true where the private life of
the luna is not such as to make
him amiable when he goes into the
field in the morning. On Hawaii
many of the planters have tried
the experiment of importing intel
ligent young Scotchmen for lunas,
with the most satisfactory results.
Again, the native magistrates in
the outlying districts have not
shown themselves to always be
possessed of that discerning mind
which is able to properly grasp
and pass judgment upon
arising between the en-
ployer and the employed. A
air amount of legal knowledge,
coupled with q deal of logical COM
non sense, is very necessary
'equisite of the head of minor
courts of justice. On Hawaii Mr..
Clarke, who was appointed in
lailua, has proved most accept
bic officer, and Mr.. Hapai, dis
riot Judge Magistrate, is an in
lance of native able to
cal successfully with the !
abor problem as it comes be-
IRE the legal heads.

BATTLE OF THE STANDARDS

Many advocates of sound money! IN
discussing the silver question continue
to assume that the government under free
coinage is to purchase at S1.29 an ounce
silver bullion which is only worth about
60 cents There is no ground for such
assumption. The friends of silver DO
not propose that the government shall
buy any silver bullion, at any price. What
is proposed is that every owner OF silver
bullion be permitted to bring it to the
mint and exchange it for silver dollars
containing BIZ grains of pure silver. If
he can buy his bullion for 80 cents an
ounce, well and good, but who would sell
AN ounce of silver for that price knowing
that he could have it coined so as to
bring him S1.29? How could any one
doubt that the much desired parity would
lican.
The silver party is to be made United
American party, so says Gen. A. J. War
ner Two or three may unite in the name
of silver and silver only, but the silver
party, we believe, as party will not cut
much of figure. Republicans should not
waste their time in joining silver parties.
Stand by the Republican party, attend
its meetings when the time comes and
aid in solving the great financial question
of the day. The new parties are often
made up of disappointed politicians,
cranks and "have beens.'' The Republi-
can party will have Ill its platform solace
or the silver man, and will lead the
country out of the slough OF despond into
which it has been landed. Pasadena

AN EPISCOPAL ARCHBISHOP

During the last year there has been
some widespread gossip-to use no
stronger term-concerning the creation of
the Office OF archbishop in the Prot
cstant Episcopal church in this
country, the city of Washington to
be the official residence. In other
words, there have been expressions
in favor of a national church. There has
not been. it would seem, any official ut
trance in its favor outside of what hap
pened not long ago in the diocese of
Maryland, and this, by the way, is set
down as piece of local coloring.
Bishop Potter has discouraged and dis
credited the whole business and 1t is
probably settled for some time to come,
though the desire of many persons in the
demon ination throughout the country is
manifestly strong in favor of more
united and potent organization. They
do not hesitate to declare that the Episco
palians are like nearly all Protestant
sects. growing lax in spirit and discipline,
though few have thus far gone to The ex-
tent of favoring an American establish
ment.
On this point Bishop Potter says: THE
American people are not greatly i'm
pressed by titula1 assumption, and they
are not eager to see ecclesiastical bodies,
whether home bred or foreign brewed,
establishing themselves near the center
of government. The principles OF the con-
stitution OF the United States of America
are distinctly hostile to ecclesiastical in
reference in local or national govern
ments. With those principles the Episco-
pal church is, and has always been, in
hearty sympathy and it is not likely that
it will be apt to take step which would
provoke suspicion or awaken apprehen-
sion on the part Of the people generally.
Even if this were not the case. any such
action as that referred to would be pre-
mature and impracticable. The Episcopal
church in America has not yet adopted
the provincial system; that is, the group
ing of dioceses around a strong center,
such as Boston, New Y rk, Philadelphia,
or Chicago, over which, a metropolitan
bishop should have certain limited, gen.
eral Jurisdiction. Until it has done that,
an archbishop of Washington would be a
gentleman in very uncomfortable con-
dition, sitting in chair which rests upon
an extremely nebulous found alton"
1t can hardly be seriously believed that
any attempt to nationalize this church
could be popular enough to augur sue
cess. The whole tendency OF religious
opinion and policy is against it. While
there never was more sincere sentiment
in favor of church work than now. it
is gro wing more and more IN favor of the
largest individual liberty and against de-
nominational discipline.

the slightest invasion into the sacred
shrine OF modesty, purity or virtue or in
any way allows Liberties from a man who

But the blame is not all on one side, and
neither should condemnation rest upon

THE CROWN OF THE VALLEY

A few days since the Star of Pasadena
published a list of some of the business
and residence Improvements now in
course of construction or recently COM
pleted in it's city, that tells a story of
progress and prosperity it would be i'm
possible to duplicate in any city OF twice
Pasadena's size. To the mind of almos t
any intelligent person unfamiliar with
the phenomenal growth of California
communities, it would suggest the rapid
development of live city OF 80 900 to
so, 900 inhabitants, instead of one with
but l., 900 to Is, 900.
The transformation of Pasadenas site
from a sheep range to what it is now, in
less time than it takes for native born
American to acquire the right to vote, is
one of the most striking testimonials in
favor of the all-round attractiyeness OF
this particular part OF the world that could
be adduccd. None of the methods
commonly utilized to induce the coming
of people and persuade the investment of
capital have been adopted to build up
the "crown of the valley" and yet she
has seen percentage OF increase in both
population and wealth hardly equaled in
the same time on the American conti-
nent. The nature OF her public and pri-
vate improvements have already made
her one of the beauty spots of the west,
and the character of her educa ational
social and religious advantages has rated
her among the model residence places of
the union. A commercial or industrial
center she never will be. Her proximity
to Los Angeles precludes such develop
ment, even if her people desired anything
of the kind. and it IS safe to assert they
do not. She has, however, become. the
