The causes which created the
prejudice against the negro, do not
exist in the case of the native Ha-
waiian. If the native compre-
hends or realizes the important
fact that it is not really founded
on color of any kind, he will dis
miss his fears.
But we see that the native con-
fuses the social and political status.
In many ways, his social condition,
and that of the white man, on these
has been distinct. But the
rights of both, under the laws,
have been carefully protected, and
there has been no friction. The
native should realize it, that the
citations which he bears to the resi-
lent American population here,

States, in the event of annexation.
But Is is foolish to criticise
larshly the natives suspicious, re-

egarding the attitude of the Am
.rican people towards the negro.
But some service may be done in
convincing the native that he is

1t is quite doubtful whether an
emigration to Timur, will benefit
the Portuguese. In these Islands
they are close to the large Ameri-
can markets, and to a great popula-
ton which pays and receives, the
very highest wages for labor. Emf

closer competition with the mil
lions of Asia and India.
We are in a transition state. The
Portuguese, together with other
people, must wait, in the hope that
a few months will bring us out of
the clouds. Those Portuguese who
believe that annexation will sim
ply improve their material condi-
ton, will favor annexation. Those
who are in doubt will simply do
and the most of them will
do nothing.

the man, but against the Ignorant
race to which he belonged.
But it Is character and not color
which draws the line. The Indian,
superior for obvious reasons to the
average negro in independence of
character, does not come within
the color line. Here, again, pre-
iudice does It's curious work. The
Western people regard the Indian
as wild animal. The Eastern
people overestimate him. One of
the difficulties in maintaining dis
cipline in the large Eastern schools
for Indians, is the persistent desire
of the white girls to fiirt with
them. More than one Indian
student has been sent away from
a New England farm house, where
he was learning the art of agricul-
ture, because the romantic girls
made love to him. General Par
5er, half breed Cherokee Indian,
served with distinction during the
var, on General Grants staff. No
negro ever reached his rank, nor
,ould he be expected to do so.
Until the emancipation act, the
cherokee Indians were the owners
f many slaves.

mand obligations Of the United States.
He said he spoke from the experience
|of q practical banker In saying that all
the demands against the government
would not be presented at one time. 1t
was a tenet of banking that all de-
mands did not come at once. If they
did, the banks would not last long. For
that reason 1t was necessary only to
provide against small percentage OF
the demand. Mr.. Jordan. the sub-treas-
urer at New York. had said to him that
all the trouble in redemption was caused
by the last 5000. 000. 900 Of demands. The
secretary concurred in this view. II,
therefore, $2OO,0O0.0 900 was set aside in a
redemption fund. 1t would to large ex-
tent relieve the demand.
Mr.. Newlands OF Nevada argued that
a contraction Of the currency would
occur under the secretary's bill If the
banks surrendered their notes and took
the refunding bonds which were pro-
posed as basis for the notes.
Mr.. Gage conceded that this might
occur, but he thought the chances Of it
were exceedingly remote.
Mr.. Cox of Tennessee made the point
that under the bill banks would get cir
culation up to the par value of bonds de-
posted at a reduced rate Of interest,
while at the same time, the govern
ment was to pay IA per cent interest on
the bonds which the banks got their
circulation with.
Mr.. Gage answered that the proposal
of his bill was but first step. 1t had
to recognize the fact that the national
IL 1T, 1ox dod IF hnnAS
as the basis of circulation. That being
the case, he had deemed 1t wise as a
first step to reduce the interest on the
bonds. When that desirable end was
accomplished kteps could be taken
toward a withdrawal Of the govern
ments guaranty for bank note issues.
and the interdependence between the
banks and the government.
The hearing had continued until 1890,
and as several Of the members desired
to go on the floor of the house, it was
arranged that Mr.. Gage would resume
his hearing before the committee at 10
o'clock tomorrow.
In the course of his statement Mr. Gage
said his bill would be supplemented at
a later day by another measure carrying
out the recommendation of the president
that the secretary of the treasury be en-
powered to borrow when circumstances
demanded 800, 900, 900 for term not ex-
ceeding one year. This power would not
be exercised except at rare intervals,
but it would have a steadying effect
from the knowledge 1t gave the market
that the power existed. With this power
to borrow in case of need and the meas
ures provided by his bill. Mr. Gage said
he would just as lief run the govern
ment's finances as to run any bank, as
there would be no more responsibility
or hazard.
