MACHINERY AND MEN.
The Growth Of Machinery as a Means
of Replacing the Labor of Mem.

George Has In Self Culture.
Since 1916 machinery has on an enormous
scale sppplanted manual labor. The knot
ter of the elf-binder completes a round OF
mechs nism which threatens to make the
farmer a man of sedentary habits. IL the
cotton boil remains unpicked by machinery
1t may be because the botanist must first
produce a plant maturing all at once in
stead of at successive periods. In suppressed

by feats far removed from imitation. Mer-
ganthaler replaces the typesetter by ar
ranging matrices from which lines of solid
metal are cast Lanston's machine for Il
similar purpose exemplifies a noteworthy
aim of inventioE--initiation by means in
yolving the slightest exertion possible An

rscript as a series of punctures in strip
of paper. the pin-holes free pulses Of com
pressed air which actuate the machine.
Initiation. however, reaches its final form
in electrical devices. A clerk In New York

springs. transmits 5000 words q minute ic

III he does not think these things he is a
dullard-or, maybe, only half-creole. Per-
Eaps his mother Was an American or
Scotch And then? Perhaps he would not
think them because they might not be true.
They would be other things other things
just as fine and good. no doubt-they might
even have rare beauty of different type

she Is a red. red rose-a rose too sweet TO

speaking, the creole Is an American born

'ecial Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
HONOLULU. December 4. 1896.
Col. Spalding of the Pacific Cable Com
pany was doubtless tudicious in employ
ing John w. Foster to advocate before
the Hawaiian government his application
for new cable franchises in Hawaii. The
exclusive privileges asked for were. how
ever. too extensive to meet with favor
able consideration. On November II. Pres
ident Dole held conference with
some thirty leading citizens and business
men of Honolulu, before whom Spaldings )
application was argued by Mr.. Foster. as
sisted by Spalding's attorney L. A Thurs
ton. The views of the meeting were SO
strongly and unanimously adverse to
granting the large concessions asked for
that the government soon after informed
Mr.. Foster that 1t felt compelled to refuse
them,. although 1T hoped Mr. Spalding
would be able to carry into effect the condi-
tionS of the original concessions.
What Spalding asked was not any extern
sion or enlargement of those first conces-
sions. which related solely to cable from
California to Honolulu. For such a cable
he had seeured from this government the
exclusive right to land one in Hawaii from
America for twenty years, conditioned upon
necessary subsidy before May, 1897, and
having the cable in working order III
eighteen months after. Spaiding now
comes asking for similar concessions OF
twenty years monopoly for cables from
Hawaii to Australia and Asia. For the
sake of fastening the establishment Of
cable communication our government and
legislature had yielded so far as to grant
the desired twenty years monopoly over
the route which would connect us with
America and the rest Of the world. But
to tie up in like manner the long lines
running westward and southwark was
much greater and more serious matter
and failed to meet with favor
1t is highly probable that the possess
sion by Spalding of such monopoiies-pro-
vided the concessions could tie valid, con-
sistently with treaty stipulatons-would
greatly facilitate his efforts to organize the
work. 1t might, perhaps. hasten by few
years our enjoyment of tele2raphic COM
munication in all directions. The doubt-a
very strong one-is whether our need of
such intercourse Is sufficiently urgent to
be supplied at so heavy sacrifice. 1t
would be very nice and a great conve-
nienCe and comfort to Honolulu to be in
telegraphic union with the rest of the
world and receive daily news from them,
but we are in snch urgent need of that
advantage for ourselves as to warrant
serious sacrifices of the future good of
ourselves and others. :

than stay and hear a speech by Igna-

not believe II would be beneficial to
those who toll. because. my friends,
my political philosophy teaches me
that there can be no prosperity In this
nation unless that prosperity begins
first among those who create wealth
and finds Its way afterwards to the
other classes OF society.
My friends, when the government
Is properly administered there will he
no railroad wreckers TO make them

put their confidence In them: there
will be no representative of a coal
trust sitting by every firesida exacting
tribute from those who desire to be

there will be no syndicate fattening
out of the governments adverslties
after they have brought those adversi-
ties upon the government for their own
benefits; there will be no corporations
which assume greater authority than
the power which created them. When
government IL properly Administered
II will recognize those Fundamental
principles set forth In the declaration
Of independence. All men are ere, ted
equal. that they are endowed with in
alienable rights, that governments are
