BEET SUGAR AND WHITE
LABOR

Inc OccaSlOnal reports from
California that Asiatics have been
given employment III the sugar
beet fields is not altogether pleas
ant food for thought on the part
of those in this country seeking
to secure a larger proportion of
white laborers on the plantations.
Some of our good citizens seem to
think the action of California JUS
titles us in shouting across the
water, you're no better than we
are, what yer givin' u.s." The
temptation in this direction is of
course a strong one.
The beet sugar magnates are
simply giving a practical illustra-
ton that they are sharp after the
dollars and cents; that their howl
for the greater protection of a new
and growing industry is based
quite as much on their desire to
fill their own pockets with coin
as the love of the dear people. If
these same beet sugar men hap
pened to have their money inves-
ted In Hawaiian plantations they
would be no more anxious for
white laborers than some of our
own planters are; they are inspired
with the spirit of the age-get
money; they have demonstrated
the remarkable inconsistency
which every large money gather
er believes to be one of the I'M
disputable rights of a free born
American citizen; they have
shown the people who are watch
ing them that their love for "the
dear people" varies according to
the amount of money that can be
garnered from many into the
pockets of few specially favored
individuals.
All this is clearly evident to the
men who stop to think twice. At
the same time the short comings
of Californians are no argument
for the same thing to be repeated
In Hawaii. The people here can get
what satisfaction they may from
the foolishness of narrow minded
men in other countries, but that
doesn't help the situation. The
pot may call the kettle black, but
that by no means cleans the pot.
By employing Asiatics the beet
sugar men of the United States
are simply knocking in the head
one of their great and glorious
arguments against the annexation
of Hawaii. We have no sympa
thy to waste upon the beet sugar
men in this case. We have be-
lieved their arguments against an
nexation to be prompted by sell
fish and dishonest motives. Now
we know it and are quite willing
that others should know it. But
all this has very little bearing up
on the white labor movement IN
Hawaii. Annexation or no an
nexation, treaty or no treaty this
country has a problem of citizen
ship to face.
All the mistakes of all the beet
sugar barons on this mundane
spheroid cannot wipe out the fact
that our industrial policy must be
changed if this country is to be
saved from the aggressive and pro
gressive Asiatic. Because some |
Californians want to send Ameri- |
can civilization and American |
labor to the demnition bowwows
furnishes no reason why Hawaii |
should fall into the same trap. |
The dishonesty and duplicity of |
American beet sugar advocates
ought not and will not be accepted
as a proper example for the people
of Hawaii

Whatever the character of the dis
quiet which seems to call for the pres
ence of an American warship at the
Islands, the desire of the people for
closer relations with this country will
not tend to minimize ii. Before long
this Government will have to deter
mine what character our supervision of
the country is to assume. 1t is not the
part of good craftsmanship to let the
matter drift along until some unex-
Dected incident compels instant de
cision. If it is to the interest of the
United States 20 accept the response

sion and leave the question open to
the freest and most unequivocal deter
mination by the people. The American
interests naturally and even commend
ably seek to have the Islands annexed
and there is every reason to believe
they are sincere in assuming popular
sentiment TO be with them, but it must
be kept in view that all our informa-
ton on the subject comes by means
which would be apt to unconsciousIy
color it favorably. Tt is a very serious
step 70 take, and its responsibilities
would be increased if there should be
any widespread dissatisfaction at the
exation.-Post-Intel Seat

Life of nm Ant.

Sir John Lubbock, the naturalist, has
been experimenting to find out how
long the common ant would live if kept
out of harms way. On August 8. 1888,
AN ant which had been thus kept and
tenderly cared for died at the age of Is
years, which is the greatest age any
species of insect has been known to
attain. Another individual of the same
species of ant (formica fusca) lived to
the advanced age of Is years and the
queen of another kind Qasius niger)
laid fertile eggs after she had passed
the age of nine years.

The Woman's Christian Temperance

by a man who lives in the mountains
near Port Royal, Va. He learned that
the union had a number of Armenians

that three men be sent to him-that
he would pay them ten dollars month,

from them, or purporthg to be from

little while the man wrote for five
more. This seems to have been regard
ed with suspicion, as, while the five
were sent, an official accompanied them
to investigate. AS soon as the new

HE LAUGHED LAST.
How n Chicago Young Man Got Even
with n Smart Girl.

He was a smart young man and she
a pretty girl, and, says the Chiago Trib-
une, they met by nonappointment in a
States street cafe at the noon hour. 1t
happened that their soup was served
al the same moment, and while the
waiter was absent with their meat or
ders the young lady took up the pepper
and gave liberal sprinkling of it to
the dish before her.
"A-hew! a-chew!" sneezed the young
man on the opposite side of the table.
He had begun a desperate filtration
with the pretty girl, but at this point he
started for the other side of the room

to get his handkerchief from the pocket
of his topcoat.
So he did not see what happened. The
young woman had handled the pepper
box with so much energy that the top
came off and the contents were emptied
into her soup. Quick as a fash she
changed dishes with her vis-a-vis and
was demurely eating his soup when he
returned.
He looked at her with ardent admira-
ton, and thus regarding her slowly car
ried a spoonful of the fiery compound
before him to his mouth, and without
waiting to taste it swallowed the dose.
He behaved like a stole. A purple
color mounted to his brow, and the
young woman, as she stole glance at
him, feared apoplexy. But he took his
soup like martyr, although perspira-
ton flowed over his face.
But he had his revenge. When his
check was brought to him he reached
over and dropped it beside the one
which had been given to the young
woman.
my wife will pay both checks" he
said, and, boiling from the place, was
gone before explanations could be
made. They are still looking for him.

began a speech early in the evening. continued
to talk until 8 o'clock this morning. in spite OF

most OF the time drowned his voice.
Herr Wolff. who spent most of his time in try

resorted to every conceivable means to prevent
Herr Lecher from continuing his speech. but was
unsuccessful. From midnight until 9 o'clock in
the morning he kept up a terrific din. aided by
his followers. but was obliged to desist from ex-
haustion. while Lecher kept on speaking at the
to- of his voice.

was taken on the Austro-Hungarian Compro-
