fund is at present valuable assistant
in our financial operations. 1t is pro-
posed, for example, in the present year
to refund 100000 of high-rate city
bonds that will fall due, and these will
be purchased by the water board out
of it's surplus. We do not have to hawk
our obligations about the East and
pledge our credit to pay big commits
sions to brokers, but we are rapidly ar
irving at that happy condition where
the people themselves will hold such
obligations.
No one questions for a moment the
fact that the satisfactory conduct OF
our water department and it's financial
success are due entirely to the fact
that it has been managed on a bust
ness and not on a political basis. The
mayors of this city, however ardent
their partisanship in other directions,
have recognized the vital Importance Of
keeping the water board out of poll
tics, have respected public opinion and
have themselves had enough local pride
and moral courage to perform their
duty. 1t has remained for the present
executive to crown the absurdities and
improprieties of his administration by
a systematic attempt to debauch the
public service throughout. AS he has
made party activity the price Of po-
sition on the police force, so has he in
t,,@o
such appointments as membership on
the library board, and now intends to
reVOlutioniZe the water department on
the same low basis. We do not know,
nor do We care, what are the political
relations of any employe of the water
department Of st. Paul. We do know
what has been done under it's present
management, how efficient has been it's
conduct, how moderate the charges
that it imposed upon the people, how
successful the financiering, that will
end with the presentation to this city
of a splendid and costly water system
unburdened with a dollar of debt
The only question which the people
of st. Paul have to determine is wheth-
er they wish this system overthrown;
whether they desire to have the water
department made the prey of political
vultures; whether they wish the
stealthy amendments Of the test of fit
ness, the filling of the water offices
with a motley herd Of political bum
mers, the gradual increase Of rates and
the deterioration of property until, def
cit having been substituted for sur
plus and debt rising instead of falling,
the water department of st. Paul shall
experience the fate that recently befell,
from like cause, the gas department
of Philadelphia, which passed into pri-
Vate hands, partly as the result of
bOodling agreement and partly as
witness Of the despair Of the people in
their attempt to separate politics from
the conduct Of public affairs. 1t is an
important and critical time in the
history of st. Paul. If the people per-
nit this change to be made. if even
the first steps toward it do not provoke
their opposition and their wrath, if
they allow the entering wedge of the
system of debauching the public serv-
ice and using the public moneys for
partisan purposes they know exactly
what the consequences will be, and
they will have in the future no reason
to offer complaint, objection or recrim-
nation.

LABOR AGAINST 1T.

It may not be without weight with
the members of congress that the
American Federation of Labor has de-
clared against the annexation of Ha-
vail. The ratification of that treaty is
offensive not only to American patriot
ism, but to the interests of the work
ing people as we'll. The Federation Of
Labor says truly that what is contem-
plated Is practically the admission of
a slave state. Such is, indeed. the
economic condition Of the Sandwich
islands today, and It's political system
is organized to perpetuate 1t. The Re-
publican party which protested for a
generation against political and civil
inequality in the Southern states, and
which carried the elections for twenty
years on the assertion or pretense that
the negro was shut out from his rights,
and that the status Of the South was
un-American, IS lined up now in favor
Of the admission to the Union of COM
munity whose political and economical
conditions are far more dangerous and
offensive than those of any Southern
state even prior to the rebellion and
the abolition Of slavery.
We have in Hawaii a population of
over $1,000 people absolutely subject
to the dictation of about 5000. This is
the governing class, politically and in
dustrially. 1t has seized control of the
government and holds it by the strong
arm of military power. The labor of
the Sandwich islands is organized, not
upon the basis of free state. but upon
the relation Of master and serf The
great plantations are owned by few
individuals or by syndicates. and are
worked by Chinese coolies and by ma
tive Kanakas, whose condition is no
better than that of the Southern negro
before the war
There is no pretense or desire or In
tention to alter this situation or this
relation. The present government of
Hawaii is a strict military artstocracy.
1t is supported, as upon a foundation,
by the unpaid labor of low grade peo-
pies who cannot achieve, because they
do not aspire to the rank of citizens
or of independent men. 1t would be
strange We're the free labor of this re-
public to accept this infusion of an
alien and abhorrent system, this rever-
sion to the era of labor slavery, with
out a protest. We hope that labor or
CARNATIONS of every kind will take note
at once of the danger that threatens
them, and will address to congress an
argument which will appeal to fear
where patriotism is wanting. Let 1t
be understood that the men who sup
port the annexation of Hawaii will not
receive the votes of the American work
ingmen, whose interests they are pre-
pared to betray.
