JuE AsIATIC question.

EDITOR BULLETIN: 49, Viewing
the Asiatic question from an out
sider's point of view, | am inclin-
ed to believe, that the present gov
eminent being so much under the
control of the planters, there will
not be any measures passed by
the Legislature granting the pray.
er of the Portuguese petition.
Why should they 4? The planters
are not here for their health, as
the common saying has it, but to
accumulate the almighty dollar"
and they will continue, in the fu-
ture as in the past, to do their ut
most to prevent any laws being
passed that are calculated to hurt
their pockets. They will insist on
having all the cheap eoolie labor
they need, whether it is Chinese
or Japanese, and instead of rails.
ing wages they would rather lnwor
the same. They would only be
too glad, were it possible, to i'm
port still cheaper labor than the
kind at present in use, and flood
the country with Hindops or Cen
trail Africans. The chief impedi-
ments raised against the intro
duction of Hindoos have been,
first the restrictions and cogdi.
tons imposed by tho British gov
eminent when it allows British
Hindoo coolies to leave their
country to work in foreign lands,
and secured the jealousy with
which tho American party here
look upon anything that they
think would tend to streng-
then the hated Britishers' influence
in Hawaii. Were it not for these
causes, the planters it may be
safely said would gladly avail
themselves of such a source of
cheap labor and hire these Hin
docs at about $40 a month, pay
able In silver Kalakaua dollars.
1T is the old struggle of capital
versus labor, and it may be pretty
safely predicted that capital will
come out on top. Exclusive OF
Portuguese, there are said to be
considerable number of white
mechanics in the country who are
loafng half the time from lack of
work. The sooner that such men
realize that this is not white
laboring mans country, the bet
ter it will be for themselves, and
instead of waiting like Micawber
for something to turn up, they
ought to leave these shores for
some country where the Caucasian
has not to compete with the
Asiatic.
After all is said and done, the
Portuguese will probably have to
realize the same fact, The present
planters government, backed up
by bayonets, and the compact
body of government office holders
will continue to run this country
to suit themselves. AS long as
Hawaiian sugar is allowed to en-
ter the United States free Of duty,
and the system of cheap Asiatic
coolie labor is continued, so long
may annexation to the United
Bates be regarded as a dead
issue. If the reciprocity treaty
were abrogated, then the planters
would kick up such dust that we
would be annexed to the States in
short order, Just now, the
planters are cpntented, and re-
main in q state of mastery in
activity" OUTLANDER,

it he roundly scored President Cleveland s

we take them in out of the wet and not

" Our danger does not lie in Venezuela nor

THE TARIFF BILL.
The Action Of Senate Finance Committee De.
Ponds Largely on Mr. ZONES.

Washington, Jan. IA special meet
ing OF the Senate committee on finance
was held this afternoon. 1t was Of short
duration and was due 20 a desire of the
Republicans to have an early report On the
tariff bill. All the Democratic members
Were present except Mr. Vest, and they
announced their intention of voting ad-
yersely on the motion to report the bill in
any shape. Mr. Wolcott expressed himself
favorable TO the report of the bill a. it
came from the House, but no one was
able to say how Mr.. Jones Of Nevada,
stood
At first. Mr. Jones was favorable to
the bill as it came from the House but he
has been quoted as saying that he would
insist on his 5 per cent. addition TO the
House bill in the sugar schedule and the
Republicans did not care To assume the
responsibility of placing him in their
column until he appeared for himself
All depends on the action taken by Mr.
Jones. He will be seen, tonight, if posi-
bic, and it is probable that the committee
may meet, tomorrow, and report the bill
Ii is thought that jones will permit the
bill to bereported without amendment and
make his fight in the Senate for its amend
mcnt, putting the sugar schedule on the
same level with the other schedules in
creased by the House bill.

the opening left in Mr.. Clcveland's Ven
ezucian message, through which many
progress to believe that Great Britain may
pass to a settlement between herself and
Venezuela alone

and general. 1t will he made to apply to
the Ncnezuclan case as well as any develop
mcnts that may arise in the future. 1t
Will declare that the acquisition of any
territory by any foreign power, by con
quest, cession, purchase or otherwise, to
be an unfriendlv act TO the United States
etc, and will he intended as warming to
Great Britain not to attempt to purchase
the disputed territory
1t is expected that the resolution will
be reported fayorably at Friday IS meeting,
ana that the Senate will be asked TO take
prompt action in the matter.
