agreed upon. And provided B agrees

Through a contract of this kind the
coffee planter will have at hand large
| force of labor of the highest class. The
! Portuguese are natural agriculturlStS.
| All of the products of their homes in
| the Azores proves this; and one has
| but to visit their homes on the suburbs
of Honolulu to have a practical dem
onstration of this fact. The propO-
| elf &c a
coffee planter were to cultivate his en-
! tire acreage under contract of this
kind But this plan gives him an album
dance of cheap child labor that will be
available at all times. The pruning
and handling of the trees, the carpen-
ter and mason work, the teaming and
mill work can be done by the men
Every employe will do his utmost tC
| bring the plantation to the highest
state of bearing; he will study the ex-
periments of his employer with inter
est, and he will give to his employer
the benefit of his experience on his
own place. Should this country be an
neXed to the United States there will
be no disturbance through the abolish
ment of the contract labor system, fol
the laborers would be bound to the
planter by the strongest tie, viz, tina
of self-interest
1t is not within the province of this
article to discuss this question from
the standpoint of the political econo
mist, but it means the establishment
on the soil for all time, of class of in
telligent, law-abiding tillers of the soil
who can earn sufficient to supper
themselves in comfort.
This is not a scheme that will worl
itself out without considerable effor
on the part of the coffee planter. H
must see to 1T himself that his peopl
are well housed, well cared for an,
that they be made comfortable in ever,
respect. He must look for some in
gratitude, some discomfort and som
idleness on the part of his tenants Ii
however, he uses great care in select
ing his employees, and if he demons
trrates to them that he considers then
something else other than animals, h
will find his interest reciprocated, an
a feeling of good will towards him vii
be established that will go far towar
increasing the profits of his business.

THEORETICALLY BURIED.
John Hughill AVvoke IA Minutes Too
Soon and Nearly Died.

Providence, R. l., Sept. 11.-John
Hughin, who allowed himself to be
buried alive on the theory of hypnotic
suggestion, induced by Professor Wat
son of London, has been unearthed.
Hughill went to sleep but he woke up IA
minutes ahead of schedule time. When
he came to he made it known by pound
ing on the coffin, and during his strug-
giles dislocated his knee pan.
When he was brought to he lapsed
into a death like stupor, which the ply
sicians almost took for death. He was
rubbed with whisky and alcohol, and
revived. HughilI says that he will never
do it again. When he awoke he mag
ined he had been buried alive and this
almost crazed him.

STUDENTS ON A TRIP.
An Organization That Gives Each
Student 1000 Miles of Travelling.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-For the purpose of
deriving educational benefits from a
tour around the continent, fifteen stu
dents of the Puget Sound university, of
Tacoma, Wash, have stopped off in
Chicago. OF the fifteen students six are
women. The party arrived from Log
ansport, Ind, and is on the way to St.
Paul. They spent the greater part of
the day at the Art institute, Columbian
museum and Lincoln park. Among the
party is VIM. J. MorpIy, professor of
philosophy. r. J. Chaplin, who is man
ager of the travelling party, said last
night: THE students of our college
had a great desire for travelling, and we
organized the Puget Sound Travelling
association" which has started this
year. Each student will travel 1000
miles a year. From here we go to Vel
lowstOne Park. At the close of the
term, next spring, the party will visit
Alaska, and upon our second year, we
will go to the Hawaiian islands; third
year to China, and the graduating class
will take a trip around the world. The
scheme is getting very popular and I
think other universities will follow

WICKED CHRISTIANS

Good, Highminded Turks.

New York, Sept. IA special dis
patch to The Herald from Canea.
Crete, says: The consuls and NussuI-

news that vandalism continues to be
practiced. The Christians are ,devas-
tating the districts of MilapOtamo and
Amarie, in the province of Rettimo and
destroying the olive trees and other
property of MussuImans. This creates
a very unfortunate impression just at
the moment when the Christians have
been granted such large privileges. I'm

done against the depredators.

The Most Successful Leaders Of Labor
ORGANISATIONS In the World-The
Country Cannot Stand Another
-Four Year' Pan4c-Emph2tically
Denounee Free Coinage.

Peoria, ILL.,. Oct. 27.-The following
circular was issued today:
To the Workingmen Of the United
States:
To refute q false statement, as we
sincerely believe It to be. and to correct
an impression that our friends and &C.
quailtances may have formed concern
ing our signatures to a campaign docu-
ment going the rounds of the press and
circulated broadcast on the streets. en-
titled Proclamation" in which we are
made to appear that we favor the free
coinage Of silver at any ratio, and
substantially the establishment Of two
standards of money, contradictory as
the terms may be, we wish to be record
ed by all who are interested in our po-
sition as being emphatically and I'm
e%quivocally opposed to any such meas
ure, but are for the sound money plank
promulgated by the republican oonven-
ton at st. Louis.
Our signatures were obtained nearly
three years ago to a document pre-
tending to be a memorial to congress,
then in session, which in our belief and
memory, was a much milder paper than
the proclamation" referred to. And
no matter what our opinion may have
been on the money question at the
time OF our signing the memorial, near
ly three years ago. we have learned
enough since on the subject Ito warrant
us In denouncing the attempt at free
coinage at 16 to l, believing 1t to be
directly against the interests of labor.
and also believing that under a con-
ditfon Of free coinage this country will
be subjected to the most frightful
panics that any country In the world
has ever seen. Our belief in this state
ment Is now strengthened by an admis-
sion made by William J. Bryan, candi-
date for president, in a recent speech in
the northwest, wherein he is reported
to have said that he thought free silver
coinage would bring for the present
stagnation and panic. but from which.
In four years, we would recover.
We do not believe that this country
can stand an additional four years Of
misery and distress, and are therefore
opposed to the sentiments contained
In the aforesaid proclamation"
