ola steady process of education that
comes from experience. But sup
pose. the assertion is true. What
of it! The fact remains that what
little has been gained for white
labor will be knocked in the head
by adverse legislation on the part
of the United States. Abrogation
of the Treaty may or may not send
Hawaiian industry to the bow
vows, but it certainly will sound
the death knel, for several years
at least, for white labor; it will be
direct assistance for the Asiatic.
1t will be well for the people of
the United States to remember that
the decision for or against the Re
ciprocity involves not alone dollars
and cents but what is far more i'm
portant, a question of citizenship.

Since Miss Shaw, the Special Com
mission of the Times inquired into
the sugar industry here, the condi-
tons have very much altered. Her
opinion that North Queensland
would in the future have a white
autocratic planter population, and
a black servile race to do the tropi-
cal field work, is not supported by
recent developments. A large
number of the big plantations are
broken up into small farms of
about eighty acres each, and sold
at easy terms to the white farmers.
"Wherea few years ago there was
a large plantation worked by South
Sea Islanders, there are now
twenty or thirty comfortable
homesteads. And the contention
that white European labor could
not stand the field work is blown
into thin air by the practical ex-
perience of thousands of white
workers all along the Coast.
'The black labor question is set
Ting itself; it is only a matter of
time until the sugar industry can
entirely do away with Kanaka lab
or. The sugar farmers are doing
well, and during the financial
crisis, when the prospects Of most
colonies looked black, the prosper
ity of those engaged in the sugar
and mining industries pulled the
Colony through. The annual out
put of sugar is 100000 tons.
'If the government Would only
initiate a practical immigration
scheme, similar to the Canadian,
and set apart some of these runs
for the settlement of European
farmers, then take paternal in
terest in their welfare, giving their
good land at nominal cost and
cheap money to make start, we
should soon have healthy flow of
new blood from the old countries,
Until we have closer settlement
and denser population we cannot
feel secure from Asiatic agrees
ion"

QUARANTINE BILLS.

The refusal of the Council of
State to appropriate money to pay
the expenses of quarantine connec-
ted with the Kinai Maru places
the Government in a decidedly pc
culiar position. In speaking Of the
Government we do not refer sole
ly to the Executive Council. The
Council of State shares equal re-
sponsibility with the Executive.
When a ship is placed in quaran-
tine and men are employed as
guards, and merchants furnish sup
plies the Government, not the ship,
its captain or its agent, is the
responsible party to which the EN-
ployes and merchants must look to
for payment of whatever bills may
be incurred. While the Govern
ment may not in legal form as
sumo the liabilities of the ship,
the fact still remains that guards
and merchants look to the Gov
eminent and none other as the re-
sponsible agent. They have done
the work required to protect the
public health and must look to the
public agents for reimbursement.
The Council of State took the
position that the debts of the Kinai
Maru quarantine do not come with
in the meaning of great public
necessity; that a few cases of vario-
loid could not be called a pesti-
lence. In the eyes of the men
who stood guard and furnished
supplies the action of the Council
of State seems like an assertion
Owe recognize the debt, you did
good work and you ought to be
paid, but the Government did not
get the remittance from the steam
ship company when expected, con
sequently you will have to wait a
while" In dealing with the ques-
ton of public necessity, we know
of no better argument than to cite
the condition Of the public mind
when it was known that two cases
of varioloid had broken out among
the passengers of the Kinai Maru.
Was there a single person in town
who at that time did not regard
the placing of strong guard
about the quarantine a matter Of
great public necessity? Had the
guards refused duty and the mer
chants refused supplies the public
necessity would have been more
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1897-05-25

apparent. But when these men
and merchants assumed their duties
in good faith, did their work to the
satisfaction of the people, we can
not see what is to be gained by
agents of the people quibbling over
the payment of the bills.
1t may be that members of the
Council of State do not approve of
the methods used by their COM
patriots in the Executive Council
to obtain the necessary funds from
the Kinai Maru. That however, is
an entirely different matter.
Whatever the opinions may be on
that score the people to whom the
Government is indebted ought not
to be made to suffer. The men
who take this position, if there are
any, would not as members of a
solvent private corporation put off
their employees at the end of the
week with the statement: "John
Smith has not paid us the money
we expected, and we can't pay you
till he does"
As the case now stands we can
see no reason why the Council
of State should withhold funds
from the men who did their duty
in protecting the country from a
possible smallpox epidemic. After
a more complete consideration of
the matter we believe the public
will support the position taken by
the Executive-the bills should be
paid.

Mr.. DENLY, American Minister
to China is again seeking to bring
to the attention of Chinese author
tiles the petition of European ladies
against the custom of footbinding.
1t is to be hoped that these ladies
will also use their efforts to prevent
the Chinese taking up many of the
cruelties of European fashion.
Footbinding is injurious and cruel,
but it is a feature of Chinese fash
ion and cannot be wiped out in a
day. Should the Chinese divert
their attention from reforming
feet to reforming waists after the
European style we are inclined to
believe that physicians would tell
us that it is a choice between two
serious evils. If Dame Fashion of
the Far East could strike a happy
medium with Dame Fashion of the
West the result would be highly
satisfactory.

WHITE LABOR ARGUMENT.

In the discussion of white labor
for Hawaii the conditions in
Queensland haze often been re
ferred to. That our planters may
not run away with the idea that
white labor in sugar cane fields is
a snare and delusion, we quote the
following from an article on ''The
Industrial Expansion in Queens
land" published by the Westmin-
ster Review:
by far the most important
branch of the agricultural industry
in Queensland is sugar growing,

The new tariff law in Canada
has brought up a question which
our local advocates of reciprocal

may contemplate with profit. One
object of the law is to establish

ject but it appears that Great Brit
ain has '1most favored nation

1t is to be hoped the foreign
correspondents will withhold their
pens from the production of ia
panese scare articles to be spread
broadcast throughout the United
States. At the present stage of
affairs such matter can do nothing
but injure the business interests of
Hawaii. The country has had
enough embroglios of fact without
suffering at the hands of the fake
artist. The presence of the Mani
wa has had a quoting effect, if any
was needed, upon the japanese
residents, and the officials of ia
pan and Hawaii are conducting
their business in the proper, quiet,
dignifed and friendly manner.
The people are aware that the two
governments are engaged in set
Ting a matter that will have far
reaching effects upon the future of
the Hawaiian Islands. No one de
precates the seriousness of the sit
uation. 1t is felt, however, that
the question will be decided on
its merits and not by bluff or
buster.

HAWAII JoTTiHoS.

These conditions indicate that
events are moving fast toward a crisis
in the affairs of the Hawaiian Islands.
Under such conditions it is evidently
high time for the people of the United
States, as well as their representa-
tives at Washington, to consider care
fully the situation and needs of the
Hawaiian Republic and the question of
it's union with this country A few
facts are beyond question. The ISL
ands are very rich, and they would be
a valuable possession, from a business
standpoint. The ruling class in Hawaii
is decidedly in favor of annexation to
the United States. Moreover, there is
danger that unless the Islands be-
come American in government, as well
as in the ownership of most of their
real estate and the control of their in
dustries and commerce, they may be
made Japanese. 1t is true, also, that
American influences and American
missions brought the Hawaiian people
into their present state of comparative
education, enlightenment, and prog
ress. 1t will be seen that the question
of Hawaii's future is not an easy or
simple matter to settle 1t will require
care and deliberation to reach the best
possible solution, and the conditions
already existing make delays of an
unnecessary character dangerous

DISCOUNTED MINISTER'S.

OF all religious pessimists the
man who advocates the organiza
ton of society for decreasing the
ministry, now appears in the front
rank. a gentleman has written to
the New York Evening Post over
the signature Clergyman" to an
nounce that as one of the clergy of
the United States he feels called
upon to discourage young men
from entering the ministry. He
seems to speak from the card and
has attracted not little attention.
His statements are indeed startling
to the people into whose minds
has been instilled the idea that If
there is one profession on earth
never sought for hope of financial
gain and social standing it is the
ministry.
This new authority states the
supply of ministerial candidates is
for in advance of the demand, and
many who have regular charges
are impatient to make a change
so that their light may shine more
prominently before the admiring
gaze of the world. He speaks of
the worldly side of the ministry,
and the causes that forbid men of
strong independent character en-
tering the ministry in the follow
ing terms: "The remorseless com
petition for places; the wire-pull-
ing and pipe-laying merely to get
a hearing in a vacant pulpit; the
chance of being set aside in the
full vigor of maturity; the alarm
ing growth of short-term pastor
ates; the fact that men of decided
ability sometimes wait four years
for employment; the reluctant con-
viction that influence and pull
Will do for a man in, the ministry
precisely what such factors will ac-
complish in politics these con
siderations are powerful make
weights in turning the attention of
high-minded young men to other
pursuits. Is it any wonder that out
of class of 275 at Yale-the edu-
cational stronghold of New Eng
land Congregationalism- only five
study theology?'
This sounds like a wall from one
who entered the ministry from a
business standpoint, and having
failed to rise to the salaried heights
hoped for, he has decided that a
general thinning out is required in
order to give him a chance. 1t is
true society for decreasing the
ministry would do good work if it
was successful in eliminating the
characters who take up church
work for what money there is in
it and not from a matter of prin-
ciple. Of all persons on the face
of the globe who should not whim-
per under adversely ministers are
the ones. Those who fail to follow
out their own teachings might well
look for some other work.

DIPLOMATIC SHOTS EXCHANGED

The first exchange of diploma
tic documents between Hawaii and
Japan regarding the immigration
troubles has been completed and
the question is no nearer settle
ment than it was when the first lot
of immigrants was returned.
From all that can be learned of
Japan's request, it is couched in
very definite language. Hawaii is
asked to show why it has not violat-
ed the treaty and furthermore is
requested to recognize the Japan
ese right to secure indemnity for
the injury suffered. This last
claim is perhaps the most signif-
cant and comes somewhat in the
nature of a demand. If Japan
were disposed to assume a ques-
tioning attitude, or had the inclin-
alton to recognize that Hawaii's
action was anything but a serious
affront to japanese national dig
nifty, the request for recognition of
the principle of indemnity would
have been omitted.
The reply of the Hawaiian Off
Gals is terse and to the point, con-
corning the intention of the Re
public. To all intents and pur-
poses, it is simply a reiteration of
previous assertions that Hawaii
intends to administer immigra-
ton lays according to the dictation
of legislative enactment; Hawaii
recognizes no Interpretation of Its
laws outside that given by the exc
cutive and judicial departments of
the government. No lengthy ex-
PLANTATION is given and no instances
cited in which Hawaii has dealt in
a similar manner with any other
nation with which it has treaty re-
lations. Our officials have evil

japanese Foreign Office as form
al request to "back down" The
reply asserts that Hawaii will not
retract, basing it refusal on the
right of sovereign state to admin
lister its own laws.

1t is now apparent that the i'm
migration affair is assuming
serious proportions and the end is
not in sight. This first move has
tested the temper of the contend
ing parties. 1t discloses the fact
that both are on their mettle. We
may now expect a request for fur
Their information. If the informa-
ton is not satisfactory to Japan
what will happen! That is what
the people want to know and is
what no one can forecast.
1t is not impossible that Japan
will interpret the reply of Hawaii
as sounding the note of defiance.
That is about what it amounts to
and the question arises how long
the defiant attitude can be held
without serious results. The set

Japan may be depended upon to
stand by what it considers the
rights of its citizens up to the last
notch. The request that similar
occurrence" shall not happen again
is sufficient guarantee of that. If
Hawaii and Japan keep up the pace
now set it is not impossible that
we may have condition some
what similar to the Venezuelan
affair. 1t is by no means impossi-
bic that Japan will sever diploma
tic relations with this country, and
the United States as an interested
party will be called upon to take a
friendly hand in smoothing over
the difficulties. The present align
ment indicates to say the least that
the United States will have to show
its hand sooner or later.
The people of this country will
stand by the action of the govern
ment, although they have no de-
sire for wrangle with Japan.
They have no objection to a reas-
enable number of japanese immi-
grants coming to the country, but
they dislike the idea of their com
ing at the rate of two or three
thousand in as many months; they
believe the immigration compa-
les stepped beyond the bounds of
the law and should be checked !;
they hope for an amicable settle
ment of the present affair and "a
better understanding between the
governments on the question of
future immigration. If this last
cannot be accomplished by the
diplomatic agents of Hawaii and
Japan, we naturally turn to the
United States as a court of last re
sort. If our plea is not sustained
then Japan can force this country
to do its pleasure.
