SENATOR PERKINS.

Senator Perkins, who has just
been reelected to the Senate of
the United States, has always
been extremely friendly to the
commercial relations existing be
tween these Islands and the Unit
ed States. If, lately, he has shown
some hostility TO rs, it is owing
to a gradual change in the stu
alton here and in California.
Here, and in that State, there has
been a drifting along, as some
would call it, but what, in fact, is
a steady development, or eyoln-
ton. from causes which have ex-
listed, but have not been carefully
studied in the past. Those who
call attention to such causes,
when everything is peaceful, are
regarded as cranks, disturbers

tv. While we had excellent fight
ing material here, we required a
trained soldier, as we require
trained physicians and lawyers,
in order to inspire confidence in
the enlisted men. 1t is only sol
diers who fully appreciate the
value of good soldier. Brave
men are willing to fight and to
die, but they hate any useless
sacrifice.
Raw recruits soon become vet
Grams, in the hands of a military
genius. The army is just what
the commander makes it. The
personal quality always tells
more largely in the profession of
arms than in any other profess
sion.
The force we have here must
necessarily be small, and for that
reason requires uncommonly
strong qualities in the character
of the commander.
Colonel Mclean came TO us
with the highest testimonials as
to his efficiency as an officer well
drilled in the school of the sol
der. He had to deal, of course,
with new men, under peculiar
surroundings, to command a
small force, with no history be
hind it. He leaves this force in
excellent condition, through his
experience and energy. For all
this, speaking for the community,
we shall hold him in kind re-
membrance. We trust that he
will always recall, with pleasure,
the better side of his intercourse
with us, and assure the great
world to which he returns that
we are still holding our own on
these little pinnacles of the Pa
cific," and intend TO hold them, |
until the time comes when, at |
dress parade, the flag of the great
er Republic will be daily saIuted
on our own soil, and it will be the |
last TO be lowered in the line of |
military posts stretching out to
the westerly limits of Greater
America.

had some instructive fear against
experiment with money. These
people are industrious, thrifty,
and prosperous, even contented
with their homes in the great
West.
The drift of thought just now
is that too many of the native
Americans have turned land and
mining spectators, have lost in
the widespread gambling mania
of the last ten years, and in look
ing for free-coinage medicine, or
any other dose that will bring
back health and restore prosper
ity.
Possibly the native American
is doomed to extinction through
the speculative, fever, which is of
the typhoid type, and it will be
succeeded by communities which
are cOntented with little, and are
inoculated against these financial
diseases. In the strong CONNER
ciai competition. which will be
fierce in the coming century with
the world at close quarters, by
reason of steam communication
these later and foreign born com
munities may be better fitted to
meet the struggle with the cheap
labor of other countries than the
native Americans, who have made
"cats and dogs" with their
chances to secure the resources
of the great continent. Edward
Everett Hale said some years ago
that if one wanted to find the
real American stock he would, in
a few years, find it only in the
Southern States. The sons of
New England are dying of speeu-
lative fevers.

j. B. Cranstoun has obtained II
judgment virtually against the
Government for $1,000 in British
Columbia, by reason of his forci-
BILE deportation in 1895. AL
though his claim was for $4,000
the jury reduced the value of his
agony and sufferings to the very
small sum of $1,000. Nor has he

This Government will naturally
wish to hear from a higher court
on the subject, and this will in
yolye Cranst0un in further ex-
pense, and as the case may finally
reach the highest courts in Great
Britain, it does not look as if he

One person, a lover of the birds
and with energy enough to do the
thorough preliminary work in
homing, can establish the service

any doubt about an innovation OF
this kind, let him respectfully

THE SPREAD EAGLE IN THE
UNITED STATES.

The late Presidential election
in the United States has depres-
sed the spirits of our friends and
relatives there, who have been
made joyful for so many years in
listening to those orators of the
patriotic order, whose theme has
been the "eyerlastingness' of the
Yankees glorious career in the
North American continent.
Out of the fourteen millions of
votes cast in the election, six mil
lions four hundred thousand were
cast for Bryan. This result has
startled the conservative voters.
The fluent orators are put aside.
The proud eagle is Gagged up for
rest. Everybody is very peniten,
tial, and if there were political
confessionaIs, would fill them, in
order to get dissolution for the
sin Of national pride.
The Omaha Bee states that
gold standard was saved by the
foreign-born vote of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Iowa. It was the gen
eral belief of the native Ameri-
cans that the foreigner was too
dangerous, and could not be
trusted. In the crisis, however,
the votes of these aliens, in the
great agricultural States. were
cast with the conservative Amer
lean vote. and the foreigners
saved the country"
We are not discussing the cur
rency question, but recall the sin
gular fact that the native Ameri-
can vote was divided, and the
foreigners held the balance of
power, which they cast with the
conservative portion of the ma
tive Americans. No political fact,
in recent times, is more signi-
ticant. 1t upsets all theories and
compels the philosophers to make
a new deal with facts and figures.
Those who were expected to
strain the power of American in
stitutions, became a brake on the
radicals in their rather mad ca
reer. An enormous American
vote was lost in the currency

avians, and even the Irishmen

The Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania has just elected to the Sen,
ate of the United States ma
chine man." as the Independent
press call him. Mr.. Wanamaker
is defeated. The Legislature of
the State of New York will elect
to the Senate Mr.. Platt, who is
also called machine man," and
Mr.. ChOate, the eminent lawyer,
will be defeated. Many good peo-
pie ask, Why is it so? Simply be-
cause Mr.. Platt understands men
and human nature better than Mr..
Choate does, and if he don't he
acts on what he knows, and Mr..
ChOate does not. Mr.. Plat knows
the nature and necessity of organ
izatiOn in political matters, and
he patiently works out his knowl-
edge. This takes much time and
much money. The majority of the
Republican party in New York be-
lieve that Mr.. Platt is honest and
knows as much about public mat
tiers as Mr.. ChOate does. This is
probably true. Mr.. Plat is in
touch with the people generally.
Mr.. ChOate is in touch only with
the "better classes" In the con
yention which nominated Mr.. Nc
Kinley Mr.. Platt held in his hands
the New York delegation, and on
his uncomprOmising demand the
straddle on free coinage
was thrown out. Mr.. Choate
could have delivered a bright
speech on the subject, but could
not have carried man with him.
Mr.. Platt goes down to the multi
tude, and trains with it, and takes
it as it is. Mr.. ChOate asks the

of a clinching of giants in the sug
ar trade, and the Baby may throw

and radicals. who make people
very unhappy. Business men wish
such men would put for the woods
and stop their noise. But In pub
lie affairs, just as in private ac-
counts, day of reckoning inevita-
bly, comes, and some sort Of a
balance is struck.
Senator Perkins is an honest
and intelligent man. Whether he
has changed his views, for spe-
cific reasons arising out of his po-
litical campaign, we do not know.
He will serve what he believes to
be the interests of his State, and
if our interests are not in conflict
with them, he will serve us, too.
1t is clear that the commercial
argument for annexation and reel
procity, owing to various reasons,
is not quite as strong in his mind
as it was. If so, there is greater
need of immediate annexation, in
order to prevent our being foot
balled around and finally worked
out into the cold. While Senator
Perkins is not as friendly as he
was to annexation, he has not, as
Yet, declared against reciprocity.
But so long as, our prosperity
hangs by the single thread of a
Legislative act, passed by the
American Congress, even recipro
city will always be in danger.
1t has been, for a long time, ev-
ident to us that the planting in
terest controlled by Europeans
here has not fully understood the
workings of politics in the States.
That interest has confidence in a
condition of things which is shift
ing and liable to sudden change.
No one here, for a moment, be-
grudges the prosperity it has Sc
cured under the treaty, but if it
will put its ear to the ground it
will hear some questions asked in
the higher political circles in
about the nature of that
interest to the United States. The
treaty, twenty years ago, was an
in which Europeans
were cordially invited to join. 1t
is now a fact, and fact that is
being studied by some of those
who make and unmake treaties.
Annexation will avoid much flu
ture discussion.

CUBA.

The latest news from Cuba is
that both sides are telling lies
about the situation, and it is al
most impossible to get at the
truth. 1t is believed in Washing
ton that General Lee, United
States Consul General in Cuba,
has some decided opinions ON the
outlook, but that he has obtained
much information in a confiden-
tial way and has given it up to
the State Department only.
Contributions to the Cuban
cause are coming in from the
many Spanish Republics of South
America, and while not large,
they materially aid in the pur-
chase of arms and ammunition
for the cause.
1t is now said that President
Cleveland and the Spanish Coy
eminent have entered into an
agreement for the termination of
the rebellion, and that the Cuban
reyolutiOnists are a party to it.
This has been expected for some
time, but it was necessary that
both Spaniards and Cubans
should wear themselves out be-
fore negotiations were possible.
The interference of the Wash
ington Government in the matter
is a serious matter, because it
must assume, in order to keep the
peace, the position of guarantor
of both parties. And guarantors
generally want something for
their services, or feel that they
have the right to give good adj
vice, and, perhaps, enforce it.
President Cleveland and Mr.. Oh
ney would like to 90 out of office
with fireworks, and Cuba may
give them the opportunity.

THE CARRIER PIGEON SERVICE

We give, in another column, a
carefully compiled account of the
carrier pigeon service, now in use
both in Europe and the United
States. Any one who reads it can
make up his mind on the question
whether or not the service is
practicable here.
There have been some attempts
TO use the pigeons here, but so
far as we know, there has never
been any very serious work about
it. 1t will be difficult to convince
us that the birds turn kanaka, or
turn white man and cant work
in the tropics" If the birds do
well enough elsewhere, they will
do well enough here. AS they car
ry messages for a distance of 400
miles across the Mediterranean,
they must and will carry mes
sages from Kauai to Hawaii, a
distance of only $50 miles. We
have Il letter from Prof. Henri
Marion, in charge of the service
at the Naval Academy, at Annap-
oils, and he says, that after con
sultation with naval officers who
have visited these Islands, he CON
siders the establishment of the
service would be a very simple af-
fair, if properly managed.
The service should be carried
ON in connection with the Post
Office. There is little money in it
for a private individual.
As substitute for a cable line,
it would answer nearly every pur-
pose, and the expense would be
nominal We must keep in mind
that an inter-island cable service
will be a very expensive affair,
and may become a serious burden
in the days that are coming, when
we shall be forced to count the
pennies in public and private life.
We wish all the modern convent
ences, but we cannot always af-
ford them. Information, through
this service, received from all of
the other islands, at noon every

That enterprising Yankee, Mr..
G. III. Butler, who is now handling
the cotton business for the Jap
anese, was a real estate dealer in
San Diego few years ago. Fail
ing in that, he and his friends
purchased a bankrupt watch fac
tory at Otai, near San Diego,
freighted the machinery to Jap
an, organized company ON Jap
anese capital, and are now at
tracing the attention of the mer-
chants in the East by the excel
lence and cheapness of their
watches. The next movement of
this enterprising man will be to
bring the excellent iron ores of
Lower California to the coal of
Japan, or the coal of Japan may
be taken to Lower California or
Mexico. Whether or not the coal
and iron can be brought to cen
trail point in these Islands is a
serious question for the future.
One iron worker in the States de
clared that it will be done before
many years, owing to cheap trans
portation.

THE LABOR SUPPLY OF CALL
F0RNIA.


report on labor, made by Mr.. Z
l.. Fitzgerald, the Labor Commits
sioner. 1t shows at once the con
nection between the labor suppl!
of that State, and our own Labor
question.
The Commissioner treats the
subject with fairness and intel
ligence, and it is fortunate thai
such an important matter is il
the hands of one who has the
faith and energy to solve a mOs1
difficult problem.
We hope that in due time the
Commissioner will change his
views regarding the annexation
of these Islands. We fully appre
ciate the sensitiveness of the
white laburers in the States on
the subject of the Asiatics, and
the widespread belief that in com
petition with them 'the white
man will Strve." We do not eX-
pect that result. because the
white will hold his own against
all other races under any and all
conditions, it maks no difference
what they are. AT the same time,
the labor vote of the United
States is not prepared TO take
this radical view of the case, and
1T mistrusts Asiatic labor.
We. who depend so greatly up
on the United States for our pros
perity, intend, as far as possible,
TO fall in line with the laws. ideas
and customs of the Anglo-Saxon
civilization, even if we are put TO
much inconvenience in doing so.
AS that civilization depends, in
the first instance, upon the char
acter of the agricultural classes.
We shall do the best we can to
show the people of the United
States that we are not asking for
all the benefits of Il treaty, with
out making some equivalent for
it. in the moral as well as in a
business way.
1t is evident enough that there
viii soon be friction between the
American and japanese Govern
ment on this subject. The Chin
csc Government has little regard
for its people when they 20 be
yond the boundaries of the EN-
pire. The japanese Government,
on the other hand, follows its PEG
Pile into foreign countries. More
over, the japanese will not toler-
ate, for moment, any sugges-
lion of their inferiority as a race.
The Imperial Diet of Japan, now
largely controlled by popular
vote, viii resent any limitations
on the movements of the people
by any foreign Government. 1t
has already been said in the Jap
anese press IF the Americans
should attempt to prevent the
emigration of our people, we will
forbid the immigration of Amed-
cans"
The relations Of the Chinese to
the people of the United States
are easily regulated, owing to the
Indifference of Chinese officials.
With the Japanese ii will be a to-
tally different affair.
1t is easy enough to see thar in
many ways, many of which We
can scarcely outline at present.
our own connection with the Jap
anese are intimately related to
the connection which they have
with the United States. A report
on the labor situation in Califor-
mia has some very substantial re-
lation TO our own conditions.
