! In considering the work of the repre-
sentatives in the communities covered by
the Troy Times says the Washington cor
respondent of that journal it must not be
forgotten that all but three are new MEM
bers. He continues Those who have
had previous services are Judge Powers of
Vermont, General Curtis of Saratoga dis
triot and A. B. Wright of North Adams.
The first named has sustained his repu-
tation, already national, as an able legls-
lator. He has been regarded as one of the
leaders in what is known as constructive
legislation, In addition to his work IA
chairman of tho important committee on
Pacific railroads, to which work he has
given great deal of his time, he Is the
author practically of the bankruptcy bill
which was passed by the House While 1t
was largely based upon the lines of the
Torrey bill, 1t was also marked by some
suggestions made by Judge Powers that
rendered 1t even more acceptable. He is
one of the few members who are really
constructive. AS debater upon the floor
he has shown himself n clear headed
| thinker. He Is always listened to with
the greatest respect, and his arguments
show mastery of the subject in hand

These associations ought 10 bring the
people of the various Islands in closer
touch, and possibly relieve some of the
factional ideas that inspire some resi-
dents in outside districts. Then again,
the building operations and activity OF

sents an excellent field for the opera
ton of the Improvement Association.
Private holders have their own ideas
as to how their residences should be
built and how the grounds should be
laid out, but great deal can be learn

as the city generally can profit, by an
association or exchange of opinions.

vocates get together again and stir up

If the positive statements of the San
Francisco Call can be credited, the
movement to remove Kate Fields re-
mains to the United States has taken
definite shape, and advices by the next
steamer will give the many friends of
the noble woman here an idea of what
it is their duty to do. Miss Field was a
loyal American, and if such was her
wish, it is highly proper that her re-
mains should rest on American soil.
The friends in this country should not
fail, however, to make some effort to
render substantial assistance and offer
tribute which shall recall to those
who may visit her grave the work she
did for this country.

IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

Soon after the visit of DR.. Northrup
to this country this paper advocated
the formation of a City Improvement
Association, on somewhat the same
lines as the organizations originated
by DR.. Northrup in the United States.
A little later the matter was taken up
by L. A. Thurston, who in an open let
ter called upon the citizens Of Homo
lulu to stir themselves and join in a
movement to interest the people in the
Identification of Honolulu, and make
the most of the possibilities of the city's
surroundings. While many expressed
approval of such a movement, circum-
stances arose which for the time being
seemed to put an end to the original
plan of making the organization non
political in its personnel.
The matter was then dropped to
await the coming of a more convenient
season, when the people generally
would be able to give more of their
time and attention to Honolulu's de-
velopment and improvement outside
the confines of politics. Over year
has passed, and there can be no time
more propitious than the present for
taking up the loose ends and going
ahead with the work. The Legislature
has completed the arduous duty of al
lotting funds for various branches Of
public works, and in Honolulu as well
as on the other Islands the officials of
the Government are carrying out, as
rapidly as possible, the labor mapped
out for them. Now is just the time
when a non-political organization has
an opportunity for a good start, by the
new interest awakened by the extension
of roads, widening of streets and the
erection of new public buildings.
With a good, healthy association
formed in Honolulu, it will be but a
short time before kindred organizations
will be formed in other districts, and a
new enthusiasm given to the improve
ment of public and private grounds

The California fruit growers, accord
ing to late dispatches, seem to be high
ly pleased at the prospect of replacing
the Chinese labor in the vineyards with
japanese. At the first send off, the
lower price at which the Jananese will
work appears very enticing, but know
ing the spirit of the average Califor-
nian, we may expect before many years
roll by to see this joy turned to sorrow.
The japanese enter the United States
under the favored nation clause, and it
is a safe ten-to-one wager that the lit
tie brown men" who are now entering
California as laborers will gradually
become proprietors. There is no law
to keep them from going into compe-
tition with the large producer, and the
Japanese proprietor will be able to
make his former employer feel the pres
sure of sharp competition. Then the
California vineyard owners will be sing
ing another song.

Little Brown Men" Getting Work of
California Vineyards.
Many LabOrerS Arriving at Coast Port-Do
Work Cheaper Chinese
Not In II.

FRESNO, August 24-An important
feature of the labor problem in the
vineyards of Fresno county will be seer
this year for the first time. The Japa-
nese have driven the Chinese out as
grape-pickers They have done it by
work better and quicker There have
been Japanese employed in the vine
yards of the valley for several years, a
few more with each recurring season
but this year the little brown men from
the island kingdom will take possession
so far as Monaghan labor is concerned.
There are vineyards where none but
white men are employed, and as yet the
Japanese have not gained a footing in
them. But these vineyards which en-
ploy foreign labor will nearly all give
their work this year to the industrious
and energetic Japanese.
The Chinese employment agencies
acknowledge that they are beaten. At
this season of the year it has been GUS
tomary heretofore for Chinese by thou
sands to flock here from Los Angeles.
San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton
San Jose and other points, to pick
grapes. This year they are not coming.
Some of their leading men explain why
They say that notices have been sent to
them that there will be no employment
for them this season in the Fresno vine
yards. The Japanese are making con-
tracts at Il cent per tray below what
Chinese have heretofore demanded, and
! the Chinese are not disposed to meet the
cut, and consequently will obtain few
contracts. The crop will be short and
there will be less work than last year.
There will be few Chinese who will
pick grapes. They are nearly all min
ers from the mountains who have spent
the summer in the placer mines, and
now the season of low water is at hand
and they must wait for fall rains. They
will spend the interim in the vineyards
at low wages rather than remain idle
| 1t is cheaper for them to do this than
to go elsewhere to obtain work which is
now very hard to find.
In the meantime Japanese labOrers
are arriving in large numbers and are
taking the places formerly occupied by
the Chinese.

Hoke Smiths withdrawal from Cleve-
who has the courage of his convictions
and who knows enough not to stay
where he isn't wanted. His withdrawal
was graceful and gentlemanly, and
leaves no disagreeable stain of political
buster on his record, which too often
accompanies a disagreement between
members of the same party. One of the
most significant features about the APP
pointment of Mr. Francis to the va
cancy in the cabinet is his remark that
on no condition will he support the
nominees of the Chicago convention,
and his apparent leaning toward Nc
Kinley as a choice between two evils.
Personally, President Cleveland has
kept a discreet silence as to just what
course the administration will pursue
in the campaign. No one has ever sup
posed that he was favorable to Bryan,
but it is still an open question as to
just what his attitude will be toward
the various candidates. None of them
represent his policy, and the appoint
ment of Francis, together with the re-
port that he opposes the gold Demo-
crat organization, would seem to indi-
cate that the President is ready to sac
rifice some of his party principles in
order to save his country from a silver
whirIwind

One of the strangest collins ever told
of is that for which the British war de-
partment is said to be responsible. The
story is that a workman engaged in
casting metal for the manufacture of
ordnance in the WOolwich arsenal lost
his balance and fell into the caldrOn
containing twelve tons of molten steel.
The metal was at white heat and the
man was utterly consumed in less time
than it takes to tell it. The war depart
ment authorities held a conference and
decided not to prOfane the dead by use
of the metal in the manufacture of ord
nance, and the mass of metal was actu-
ally buried. and Church of England
clergyman read the service for the dead
over it-Literary Digest.
