REGISTRATION.

| The Chinese citizens have already be-
gun their little game in connection with
the Registration Act Last week a
| Chinaman presented himself before Mr..
| Shaw for registration. He was recOg-
niz1d as being a gentleman who had
registered before. Whereupon he stated
that he had lost his registration paper.
| Inquiry at the custom house went to
show that the so-calIed lost registration
paper had been presented there by
some one else.
If such was the cas-, it does not seem
that the thumb mark and description
are of very much practical use. If one
Chinaman can pass his passport to an
other Chinaman, where is the real ad-
vantage of the registration act?
OF course it is too early to say how
the registration act will work In this
city only a very small number have
registered. 1t is calculated that there
are $4,000 males in the city of Honolulu
who should register Up to Wednesday
night only 1858 had registered. We
give the numbers of each nationality,
with the estimated total of each nation
ality: Japanese, AS out of 1000; Chin
csc, 236 out of 5000; Portuguese, II out
of /, 400; Hawaiians, 23S out of $500;
Americans and Europeans, 343 out OF
1000, and other foreigners, 7 out of 100
1t is plain that either the law should
be strictly enforced or should be given
up. AS soon as possible it must be
strictly enforced. The thumb mark
clause meets with great objection from
all grades of society, and seeing that it
is quite within the power of the Minis
ter of the Interior to modify or alter the
form Of certificate, we cannot see why
the modification is not made in order to
pacify the feelings of those who feel
insulted at what they consider is put
ting them on a level with criminals.
Laws which work with much friction
should not remain on the statute book
In this case, however, it is detail
that is objected to. Most people are sat
isfied with the law.

the Senate. They have simply jumped
from the supposed frying pan into the
fire Of their own kindling.
AS w have previously stated, the
Senators saw the mistake in side-track-
ing Minister Damon's refunding bills,
and have been turning over every stone
possible to set themselves right before
the people. If Minister Damon made
slight mistakes in the matter of select
ing his market, the Senators have over
Swallowed him in that point, and if
they can win any glory therefrom, the
people of the country can be blindfolded
more easily than we have given them
credit for. Every argument brought
against Minister DamOn's bills can be
used with equal force against the meas
ure that will now undoubtedly be ac-
many of our good citizens were so anx-
ious should go into the Hawaiian
pocket book now goes to England and
they Will have to whistle for the next
twenty-five years.
If it was proper that the refunding
should be delayed two years rather than
follow the plan which slight changes in
DamOn's original bill would
contemplate, then the present pTOpO-
sition should be put over till some time
in the twentieth century.
We cannot, however, oppose the re
M assure, as there is no ques-
tfoning the benefits that will accrue to |
the country from such a move. With
national loan at per cent, there ought |
to be a perceptible drop in the price of
money sought to float private, enter |
prises. 1t is interesting, however, to |
note the small hole that the Senate is |
out of.

INCOME TAX POPULAR.

Senator McCandIess talked good hard
sense about the income tax bill. He
said: THE income tax bill is irresist-
lille" And he never spoke a truer
word. That the income tax bill in its
Dresent form is perfect, neither its
trainers nor it's supporters will strive
to maintain, but it is a step in the right
direction. The principle has been es-
tablished and it only remains to work
out the details. The campaign this pa
per has made in favor of the tax has
not been in vain. The Advertiser has
carefully set before its readers full de-
tails of the income tax laws from the
pofnt of view of both American and
English writer's, and has thoroughly eX-
planned many details in regard to the
tax, and cleared away many obscure
ties. The result has been that the tax
has become a very popular one, and
that the members of the Senate found
it in truth irresistible"
The House calculates that some $780,
600 will be added to the income of the
nation by this tax. Our impression,
based on a little calculation, is that it
will be double of that. The next Legis-
lature will have this experience to go
on. At present it is more or less guess
work. In the future there will be no
guess work, there will be sure figures to
go upon, and the Legislatures Of the
future will know exactly what rate to
impose and upon what amount of in
come for we are going to have pro-
grssive income tax, and it will be
strong plank in the platform of the
progressive" aspirants for legislative
hOnors two years hence.
The wild cry that a progressive in
come tax is socialistic is all mere twad
die. a bugaboo set up to try and fright
en- the unthinking. The Christian re
Iigion when first preached was social
istic. the freeing of the slaves by the
immortal Lincoln was socialistic; in
fact, every reform is regarded as so
cialistic by the fossils and mossbacks
of community.
After all, socialism is not such a
dreadful word Look it up in the Stan
dard Dictionary and you will find it de-
fined as follows: Socialism, theory
of civil polity that aims to secure the |
reconstruction of society, increase of
wealth and tie more equal distribution
of the products of labor, through the |
public collective ownership of land and |
capital (as distinguished from property |
and the public collective management |
of all industries. Its motto is Every |
one according to his deeds "
Now, though many people may not
approve of the above theory, for rea-
sons of their own, still doctrine which
breaches increase of wealth and more
equal distribution of the products of la
Dor" is not necessarily an evil one, and
Senator McCandless need not mind if
the fossils and moneybags call him a
socialist because he backs a plan for
relieving the poor man by putting a
little extra burden on the rich!

AN UNAccUsToMED FLAG.

The bark E. c. Mowatt, which arrived
at this port this morning from Philadel-

The e. c. Mowatt was formerly the
bark Janet Court, which was flowed into
this port ON July "a from st. Thomas,
dismantled and dismasted. She had
been previously picked up in midocean
by the steamer Anerly and towed into
St. Thomas, having been abandoned by
her crew in March last after a gale while
on a voyage from Valparaiso, with a car
go of nitrate of soda taken from the
bark Edward Kidder, which had put into
Valparaiso in distress while bound from
Junin to Hampton Roads. The bark was
towed to this port, where her cargo was
unloaded, and she was sold by the under
writer's al public auction and bought by
parties in Philadelphia. The bark left
this port on Sept. IL, in tow for Philadel-
phia, where she has been put in thorough
repair, and now appears In new dress,
new name, and new nationality to load

the scientific spirit; to be a Greek scholar,
the critical spirit; to be historian one
must manifest the historical spirit; to be
good lawyer one must cultivate the
judicial mind" one can neither paint
nor judge pictures unless he has the ar
tistic temperament. Now, all this means
that you cannot come into real knowl-
edge of any matter whatever your men,
tai qualifications unless you cultivate for
1t certain sympathy; you must address
yourself to 1t in the right spirit.-Rev.
Frank Crane, Methodist, Chicago.
SELFISHNESS-Se leads to
worldly-m indedness, and the life of him
who is purely worldly will be oppressive
and end in failure. Follow the life of
such a man. Watch him as he schemes
and tolls. Notice the despair depicted on
his face as he meets his reverses, and
see how little pleasure is afforded by his
successes. Follow him on. He may
possibly have heaped together magnifi-
cent fortune, but his head has become
white with the frosts and SHOWS of many
winters; his step is no longer firm and
elastic; his once manly form is bowed
down, and as he raises his detected head
his dimmed eyes can catch no visions of
hope, for the unseen future is full only
of dark and fearful forebodngs.-Rev. A.
E. Brownlee, Presbyterian, Pueblo, Col.
IMPULSE-The unstudied action
should be the best action; the unpre
meditated word the best word. Uncon-
scious goodness is the best goodness. The
soundest heart that ever beat in a human
body is the heart of which the possessor
is unconscious, and the sweetest grace
that ever breathed forth from the lips
of the Nazarene was the grace of His
words that told the simple but mighty
passion of his inherent life.-The Rev. e.
L. Rexford, Universalist, Columbus, o.
ETERNAL LIFE-To know the only
true God is life, but this does not alone
constitute life With the knowledge of
God there must be also knowledge of the
reviled victim of Cavalry's cross. For
those who repudiate the deity of Jesus
Christ no eternal life; for those who will
no heaven; for those who deliberately
reject the salvation which is provided
in His name, no life.-The Rev. H. H.
Barbour, Baptist, Columbus, o.
Observation-Disclosures are two
processes for the transformation of life's
sins and sorrows. One is regeneration
which Is the quarry in which God goes to
gather His material. The other process
of transformation is sanctification which
fashions and molds the material gath
cred in the quarry of regeneration. BY
the process of sanctification we are pre-
pared as spiritual stones for the building
of God in heaven.-The Rev. L. B. Zim-
norman, Lutheran, Baltimore Md.
BALLOTS-Anglo-S axons now fight
their battles with the ballot box, and all
the world is slowly coming to the same
way of doing But this reposes upon all
are civilized bayonets, and bayonets are
dangerous weapons capable of as much
harm as good.-Rev. E. NJ Jeffreys, Epis-
copalian, Doylestown, Pa.

PLANTS THAT SPREAD QUICKLY

PLANTS THAT SPREAD QUICKLY.
The Russian Thistle Has Done Great
Injury to Crops.
The dandelion is not an old-world flow
er, not native in America, save far to the
north and on some of the highest of our
western mountains. says st. Nicholas.
But somehow it was brought here. per-
haps from England in old colonial times.
Now we see it's golden heads and feath-
cry balls at every grassy roadside, the
clocks the boys and girls blow to tell
the hour A few years ago farmers in
the northwest found a new weed, q vile
prickly weed, in their wheat fields. In
very short time this weed, the Russian
thistle, has spread over wide acres of
the best farm land in that part of the
country and has done great injury to the
crops.
How do these plants spread so fast and
so far? They are not carried about and
planted. No one would be so foolish as
to SOW Russian thistles. The mother
plant must have ways of her own for
sending her offspring abroad into the
world. Plants propagate themselves in
two ways-from seed or from buds.
Sometimes these buds are borne on slen-
der runners. A strawberry plant. after 1t
has blossomed, begins to send out such
runners, with buds, unfolding tufts of
leaVeS along tnem Inese- luItS are at
first connected with the parent plant, but
later the runners between break away
and each tuft becomes new plant
Many grasses, like Bermuda grass and
the troublesome quick or couch. grass,
have creeping stems, each joint sending
out a bunch of roots below and bud on
the upper side. If you try to hoe up such
grasses you only make matters worse,
for each joint when cut off is ready to
form an Independent plant. Such grasses
spread very fast, and soon take posses
sion of the land they get into.
