THE VENEZUELAN TREATY.
The Final Draft is Expected Soon and
viii BE Forwarded to Caracas.

Washington, Jan. lit is expected
that the final draft of the treaty between
Venezuela and Great Britain for the sub
mission of the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute to arbitration will bc made some
lime this month and mailed promptly to
Caracas. The general outlines of The
treaty have been agreed upon and out
lined TO the common satisfaction OF Great
Britain, the two nations named, but II
was necessary TO elaborate these IN a
formal treaty between Venezuela and
Great Britain. Progress is making on
these details, and an important step has
been gained in the formal assent of KING
Oscar of Sweden to act rs the final ar
bitrator in this rs well rs in the great
arbitration court.
The principal efforts of Sir Julian
Paunccfote and Senior Andrade are now
being directed toward the completion OF
the treaty in season to admit of its being
laid before the Venezuelan congress $
soon MS ii conyencs.
Under ordinary conditions this date
would he February 20, but it is as good
ms settled that President CrespO, taking
advantage of the law which permits the
legal sixty days session TO he extended
twenty DAYS, will advance the date of
meeting by that number of days, and the
congress will assemble February ].
1t can be stated that Venezuela has ac-
ccptcd that provision of the amendment
between the United and Great Britain,
which leaves to these two countries the
selection of the arbitrators. Some diff
Guilty was expected to be encountered on
that point, but apparently Venezuela Is
content to rest her case in the hands OF
the United States.
The congress of Venezuela meets III
February. and while there has been some
objections raised in Venezuela to the ar
rangcmcnt for settlement of the long
standing boundary dispute, it is under.
stood that these objections are not potent
enough To prevent ratification OF the
| agreement in the face of its strong en-
dorsrmcnt by President Crespo and the
members of his cabinet.

Now the question is will we exc

country run down easily to the
Asiatic standard!
There are plenty of men in the
United States who are aecustom to
labor in wheat fields and corn fields
in a summer climate that is far
hotter than is found in these Isl
ands. Many of these men are now
out of work and if proper care is
taken in picking the worklnen
and dealing with them after they
get here, American white labor
can be used to advantage.
This advantage viii be two

able citizens who have some other
object in life than to send all their
gold to other lands, and further
more a higher value sentimental
value it might be termed-will be
placed upon labor in the fields.

THE LOAN BILL.

says that it has not met with
the success which was hoped for.
Certain changes in the act will
have to be made at the coming
session of the Legislature, to en-
able it TO meet with the require
ments of foreign bond-holders."
The Legislature undertook to
legislate on matters of which it
knew little or nothing. Instead
of granting the Government "lee
way" or some freedom to act in
negotiating the loan. it tied it
up on the theory, apparently, that
it could not be trusted, and the
consequence is that the loan has
been Side-tracked. 1t is the mis-
fortune of republican forms of
government that large bodies Of
inexperienced men constantly get
between the legs of the Executive
and trip it up. The men who
make laws on financial matters
know nothing about national
finance, and, therefore, make
bad mess of it. Our legislators
may say to us: I'VE do no worse
than the legislators of other
countries" But this sort of AFRO
CANT humility is not pleasant

HAWAII JOTTlNCS.

The Pyramid has received copies of
the Hawaiian Star and the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu.
The Star has an editorial review of
the Commercial trade of the islands,
showing its rapid increase in import
ance. The Commercial Advertiser also
reviews the subject, and shows how
various nations are seeking to control
the trade. The conclusion drawn by
both papers is that the trade and COM
merce of the Hawaiian Islands is of
particular Importance to this country,
and one of the papers advocates that
annexation is justifiable under the
showing, The Pyramid has always be-
lieved that the United States should
possess these islands, not for its COM
merce alone, which is a very important
and valuable consideration, but for the
naval prestige it would give this coun-
try in the Pacific. We believe one
of the greatest plumbers of the present
administration has been its Hawaiian
policy, and we hope to see the new ad-
ministration adopt policy looking to
drawing the interests of the islands to
us. A republican form of government
has been established, and no other ISL
and is in better condition to be put
under the government of the United
States. AS matter of commercial
and naval protection. those islands
should belong to the United States, and
an annexation has never been more
justifiable.-Mt. Pleasant Utah) Ply

Sometime ago this paper made
reference to the probable influence
against annexation exercised by
one Herbert Myrick, editor of nu-
merous Agricultural papers pub
Tshed in Springfield, Mass. Mr..
Myrick appeared before the Ways
and Means Committee at Washing
ton in the interests of the sugar
beet producers. 1t now appears
that beet sugar factory is to be
established in Syracuse, n. Y,
the machinery used being from an
old factory. in Portland, Maine,
that was shut down when the Sugar
Trust was organized. Our friend
Myrick was connected with the
Syracuse scheme in 1890 and used
has papers to boom 1t. Inc plan Is
now revived, the agricultural edi-
tor has a finger in the pie, conse-
quently the Hawaiiaq sugars en-
tering the port of New York are
in disfavor. One kind of sugar
education is being carried on by
many agricultural papers in the
States. American farmers are be
ing taught that Hawaiian planters
are sinners. To counterfeit this in
fuence the campaign of education
from this end of the line should be
carried on in season and out of
season.

THE TRIBUNE AND WHITE LABOR

We are pleased to note that the
Hilo Tribune says a good word IL
favor of the more general employ
ment of white labor upon the plan
tadons. 1t states a uueism when il
says If a little intelligence and
patience were, brought into the
labor question on these islands a
gradual accession Of desirable PEG
pie could be obtained" More's
the pity that this intelligence and
patience was not exercised in years
gone by, that the experiments with
white labor, outside the Portu-
guese, were made with a class OF
men picked up on the docks and
macquainted with farm life.
Some one had said that Not
every mans poet, any more than
a sheep is a goat" No more can
you make plantation laborers out
Of street walkers and beach com
bers. The fact that white men can
work in the fields here Is beyond
argument. There are white men
Americans within a few miles Of
the town of Hilo who have gone
into the forest and done the work,
which some have claimed only
Chinese and japanese could do.
There are Asiaties working in and
around sugar mills and in the sugar
fields, whose places could be filed
by white men if a little intelligence
were exercised in selecting the men
and patience shown in handling
them. The fact of the matter is
the influence of the contract Asia
tic has been constantly to degrade
manual labor in the fields. 1t has
degraded our whole national idea
Of agricultural labor. Strange to

says that there is more bark than
bite in the political radicalism of
New Zealand. 1t was believed by
many that the Leddon Government
which proclaimed socialistic and
experimental policy, would do some
mischief. Instead of doing so, it
has become rather conservative, be-
cause the people, after all do not
care about trying many expert
ments. They may put radical
leaders in Office, but when the ac-
ton of these leaders creates uncer-

The Legislature of South Da
kota has reelected Senator Kyle
to the Senate of the United
States. The advices, by the pre-
vious mails. were that a eombina-
tion had been made to defeat him.
1t failed, however. He was elect
ed mainly by Republican votes.
Hawaii has no better friend'in the
United States than Senator Kyle.
He was one of those Senators who
was willing to vote promptly for
annexation in 1898, and on all
occasions has firmly supported
the policy of annexation and reel
procity. His career is remarka

example of honest craftsmanship.

These are the days when the news
paper Offices are flooded with marked
copies of the Honolulu papers contain
ing discussion of the various phases of
the Hawaiian question. The conduct OF
this interesting and important part Of
the annexation campaign, as shown in
articles in the Gazette and Advertiser,
is exceedingly well conceived and man
aged with skill. 1t approaches an cpl
sode in world journalism, like the news
paper fight against Tweed, and the
concerted but unsuccessful campaign
in Chicago against Carter Harrison.
These articles are we'll written. They
are chiefly and ostensibly argumenta-
tive, and yet they afford a presentation
of statistics evidently ascertained with
care, and throw light upon the multi
form and manifold bearing of Hawaii's
future upon the political and CONNER
cial history of the world. Rarely has
duty of the kind been more faithfully
and intelligent1y discharged The
showing is one in which American
may feel justifiable pride

The Supreme Court decided, in
the Paris case, that under the Cen
sus law, Mr.. Paris could not be
compelled to make any return of
his personal property, because the
law provided only for census of
the population" According to
our evening contemporary the de
cision is, that the law is vague
on the subject. As the Court
decided that the question asked of
Mr.. Paris could not be asked, it
would seem that they were quite
irrelevant, because they were
not contemplated by the law.
There is no vagueness about that.
Under a vague" law MANY things
may be irrelevant.
