While Secretary Sherman is
put down among the opponents TO
annexation andethe Reciprocity
Treaty, Mr.. Sherman has himself
announced that he is in Office to
do the will of the President. From
the present outlook it does not
seem probable that Secretary
sherman will make Il fight
against annexation. provided the
party and the President believe
the time has come TO fulfill the
platform pledge. 1t will be re
membered that during the dis
cussion of the Treaty in 1894 Sen
ator Sherman put himself on rec
ord as against the Treaty. He
maintained that the United States
had Il perfect right TO Pearl Har-
Dor, Treaty or no Treaty. He did
not make an extended argument,
and wound up his few remarks
with the statement that he did
not desire to enter into any con
troyersy over the matter. If MIR.
Sherman continues to listen to
the voice of the majority, as he
has in the past, there is no rea
son to believe that Hawaii will
suffer on account of the action of
the President and his Cabinet.

TO OUR KoHALA CORRESPONDENT

Referring again to the letter OF
our Kohala correspondent, pub
hshed on the 9th inst, We call his
attention 10 the curious fact that
neither he or the men who think
As he does have ever seriously
studied the broad question Of la
Dor. The aIl-absorbing topic has
been the best and cheapest method
of harvesting the present crop.

Reports from the quarantine
station state that the last lot of
japanese immigrants is the most
disreputable batch that has ever
been landed here. 1t was not so
very long ago that the wife of a
japanese official remarked that
she was surprised to find that the
japanese in Hawaii gave so little
attention TO cleanliness of their
person and about their homes.
Travellers have remarked upon the
same discrepancy between the
japanese of Hawaii and Japan.
We trust that Hawaii is not to
become the dumping ground for
lower-class japanese.

Ex-senator John J. ingalls, was
always in hot water during his
career as a politician. Now that
he has entered the field of new
journalism and included a report
of a prize fight in his repertoire,
he is catching it from all sides.
Editors far and wide gave him a
dig for allowing himself to be
present at the fight, and now
someone has resurrected a speech,
made six years ago, in which he
denounced prize fights and every
thing connected with them in
most scathing terms. Ex-senator
ingalls, is a good specimen of a
man who has soured on the world
in general. He could stick to prin-
ciple so long as he was on the
high wave of political success and
no longer. Immediately he saw
that he was losing his grip on
the popular will, his philosophy
and good sense, if he ever had
any, went by the board, and his
efforts in the last few years have
been directed in any line that
would keep him before the public.

From all appearances President
Mckinley will have no better sue
cess with the arbitration treaty
than did President Cleveland.
According TO last accounts, the
Senate has amended and re-
amended the document to such an
extent that Secretary Olney
would hardly recognize it, and Sir
Julian Pauncefote would be dis
posed TO reject it. The jingo spir-
it is still rampant in the United
States. and it will take more than
one generation of universal peace
TO wipe it out. The men of the
Southern States cannot forgive

recognition of the Confederacy.
and veterans of the North have
not forgotten that rebel priva-
teers We're fitted out in British
ports. About the only thing the
United States Senators can agree
upon is that when the United
States wants to arbitrate it will
call for a court of arbitration;
when it wants to issue an ultima
tum to Great Britain, the ultima
tum will be issued and no ques-
tions asked.

THE PHILADELPHIAs MISSION.

According TO the San Francisco
papers Hawaii Is going to war with
Japan and Admiral Beardslee has
been ordered down here 10 take a
hand in the fracas. This Is inter
esting II true, but 1t seems some
what strange we should get our
first advices from San Francisco.
The newspapermen of the West
haveevidently taken their cue lom
some Of the exaggerated yarns
sent out from Honolulu telling OF
japanese riots at the quarantine
station. 1t Is safe to state that the
rumors Of war purporting to come
from inside" sources are nothing
more or les than fakes conjured
within some bright reporters
brain.
When the facts are known 1t
will probably be found that the
assignment Of the flagship Phila-
delphia TO this port Is due simply
10 the determination Of the admin
istration, particularly the navy de
sartmeut to treat Hawaii accord
ING to its importance as one the
principal posts under the prctec-
hon Of the American flag. We
sannot believe that the sudden des-
patch OF the flagship to this port
Is due TO any plea made by this
Government or any Of its represen-
tatives. While the Mariposa,
which brought the war news, was
on liz way - Honolulu, President
Dole entertained the japanese
Consul and wife at dinner. This
does not look much ike war with
Japan. II our representatives in
Washington have raised the cry OF

The Government Is handling

that Japan or any other govern
ment has made any unusual fuss.

outbreak of small pox among the

must be directly traceable. If
this country is to be the victim

perpetrate, it is time we found it
out.

The Cotton Journal of New
York, several years ago, stated that

ducing cotton in the South.

Regarding the labor OF white
men, in the tropics we call our
correspondents attention TO the
United States census of 1890,
which states that the agricultural
laborer in the vast domain of the
Southern States receives about
double the wages of the negro for
the same work. Why Is thisl Be
cause he does better work. And
vet for half century Southern
planters claimed that the white
man could not work in the South
and went TO war about it. South
ern planters are finding that they
were mistaken.
Then comes a Louisiana sugar
planter with as much, or more, ex-
perience in sugar-cane raising than
our Kohala correspondent, and
saws in the Louisiana Planter that
he has visited the British Colony
OF the Straits Settlement and finds
that with coolie labor at s. per
month sugar cannot be raised as
eheaply as in Louisiana with negro
labor at more than double the
wages. The Louisiana planter has
called science to his aid and finds
that brains can accomplish more
than low-priced labor.
Our correspondent doubtless be
longs TO the class that few years
ago sneered at the idea that the
nigh-priced labor Of the United
States could raise sugar beets with
profit. That class never studied
he labor problem. They knew it
all" They would not listen to
from theorizers. And

Weyler said among other things: "Be-
lieve me pay no attention whatever to

am capable. Nothing will make me
deviate from that line Of conduct. My

unjust taxation was answerable for the
downward course of Ireland's trade.
He believed that crops would disap-
