The Medical Society of Hawaii has
adopted these resolutions on the death
of DR.. Smith:
Whereas, Dr. j. X. Smith, our friend

pecially native Hawaiians, and ever
courteous to his professional brethren
and sincere in his work, he was an ex-
ample of a high moral character,
Be it resolved, That we do hereby
give expression to the high estimation
in which we hold our departed broth
er's memory and our grief at his ear
ly and cruel death, and abhorrence at

RECuROGITE

There is a practically unanimous de-
procity policy from the producing inter
ests Of the country, in which are in
cluded both manufacturing and agricul-
tural producers. SO far as we have OBJ
served, no organization of business men
has failed to declare in favor of this
policy, the recent national conventions
of manufacturers and OF representa-
tives of he commercial interests pro-
nouncing strongly for reciprocity.
The practical men who urge the resto-
ration Of this policy, as Il means of eX-
tending II foreign commerce, know
that our export trade was stimulated
by reciprocity treaties, although they
were in operation but n short time, and
they naturally and reasonably assume
that the good results which have been
achieved can be attained again. 1t Is
true that after the initiative taken by
our government in canceling those
treaties or agreements it may be diff
cult to re-establish reciprocity, but as
we are the largest consumers of South
American products, admitting over 96
per cent free of duty, it is but natural
that we should ask reciprocation, ia
voring the consumption of our products.
1t may not be practicable to renew this
policy precisely upon the plan first
adopted, owing to changed conditions
since then. bat n feasible policy can and
undoubtedly will be formulated in con
structing the new tariff bill.
While there has been a considerable
growth in our foreign trade during the
past year or two, it Is to be noted that
trade with the countries which made
reciprocal commercial arrangements
with the United States under the Nc
Kinley tariff has generally decreased,
even While the foreign trade with other
countries has increased. Our trade with
Germany was less last year in value
han in 1892 and the same IL true as
to the Spanish-American countries, or
most of them, OF course we have lost
heavily in our trade with Cuba. due
to the instruction, but the proportion
of loss in Brazil has been almost as
great, With such facts before them it
Is easy TO understand why the produc-
ing interests of the United States favor
a return of the reciprocity system,
under which they may secure oppor-
tunities and advantages in many mar
kets which they cannot otherwise OBJ

JAPANESE COupETTTjON.

The fact that the cost of labor is in
creasing in Japan will perhaps serve to
allay apprehension regarding competi-
ton by that country in the American
market. This rise in the wages of labor
employed in Japanese manufacturing in
dustries was inevitable from the rapid
development of the industries and ii is
to be expected that wages will continue
to go up there until the expansion of
manufacturing stops or outside labor is
brought into competition with native
labor. At present Japan offers no at
traction to foreign labor, besides which
its importation, we believe, is inhibited,
but If ever wages there shall become
high enough to attract 1t undoubtedly
t. will find its way into the empire.
With regard to Japanese competition,
those who have given the matter care
full consideration do not view it as at
all mcnacing. The ability of Japanese
manufacturers to enter successfully into
competition with their European and
American rivals is limited at present
to Il few branches of industry and it
is the opinion of those well Informed
that the extension of this competition
is likely to be somewhat restricted by
changing industrial and social condi-
lions in Japan. On the other hand, the
growth and transformation of Japan's
industries necessitate the extensive use
of foreign machinery, supplies and ma
terial. Referring to this, the president
of the convention of manufacturers
said that while some of our industries
may be suffering from the competition
of rivals in Japan, it would seem that
the most important relation that coun-
try bears to the United States is that
of a profitable customer rather than a
dangerous competitor.
This is undoubtedly the correct view.
There is no reason for experimenting
that any American industry will seri-
ously suffer, at least in the near future.

petition, while it appears safe to count
upon Japan as one of the most valuable
customers of the United States at no
very remote time.

A SUGGESTION.

The Bee has already stated the reasons
why it is opposed to the proposed re-
duction Of the membership of the Board
of County Commissioners for Douglas
county from five to three. 1t does not
believe that such reduction is a move in
the direction of real economy and that
vesting the expenditure of the large sums
of money raised for county purposes in
n board so small that it must be run by
combines and cabals would be n step
backward instead of Il step forward.
With a board of three members the
| objections to electing commissioners by
| commissioner districts also become
stronger. There is always the tempta-
ton for the body that is charged with
the work of districting the county to
arrange the districts OH the gerrymander
principle for the purpose of promoting
the chances Of success of one political
party or the other or to cut out the COM
petition of some rising aSpirant for the
office by arbitrarily putting him into n
different district. These things have
happened under the present system and
they would happen more often if the
control of the board We're given to a
| s~treet-corner caucus.
The chief purpose of providing for dis
trict commissioners is to insure repre-
sentation to the people living outside of
the cities. But the people of Omaha
and South Omaha pay the great bulk of
the county taxes and are Interested as
much in the choice of all of the com
missioners as of any one of them. Why
could not the advantages of the district
system be secured without the disad-
vantages by providing that the commits
s%ioners, similarly to the plan proposed
for ward councilman, should be nom
mated by districts, but elected by the
votes of the whole county? What the
people want is good government honestly
administered by competent public Off
Gals. Is not the plan suggested likely
to accomplish that purpose better than
the district commissioner system?

MUST SHOULDER TIRE RESPONSIBILITY.
representatives in unscating four repub-
leans who held certificates Of
election and seating in their places OPP
ponents who were defeated IN the face
of the returns gives the fusionist ma
jority In that body the margin of votes
required to pass any measure with the
emergency clause, or IL desired even
over the veto Of the governor and
places upon the f~usiOnists the undivided
responsibility for resulting legislation.
If the majority now fails to carry out
promptly the reform program upon
which 1t rode into power the blame can
not be evaded or shifted upon the re-
publican minority. While there are
some suggestions in the message of Gov
ernor Holcomb which cannot be taken
TO express the settled policy Of the
party, his recommendations upon party
questions have been accepted as author
itative and the refusal of the legislative
majority to respect his counsels must

so far us the republican members of
the legislature are concerned, the loss
of four associates does not in the least
alter their duty. As The Bee has al
ready pointed out, the republicans OF
Nebraska have nothing TO gain by fac
tious opposition to legislation just be-
cause that legislation Is of populist or
igin. On the contrary, the republican
party brides itself on being the party
of progress and expects its representa-
tives in the legislature to vote for every
good measure and against every bad
measure, no matter who is behind 1t.
BY such a course only will the repub-
leans be able to share the credit FOR
any real reform that may be accom-
plished, while the responsibility for all
vicious legislation or failure to afford
the people promised relief rests with
the fusion majority, where it properly
belongs.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Times: All the lakes in northern
Iowa contain much more water than for
several years, and the lakeside residents are
pleased with the prospect for the future.
Not more than two years ago we were dis
cussing tho question OF the ultimate drying
up of the Iowa lakes. The Iowa lakes are all
right.
Davenport Republican: There seems to be
a possibility that intelligent men may oc-
casionally get on juries. The supreme court
has decided not to set aside a verdict be-
cause a juror has talked about the case. II
must appear tfllat the misconduct was sueh
as to materially aifect the rights of the COM
plainant. If this ruling holds good many men
who have hitherto been excluded from
juries simply BECAUSE they were intelligent
enough to read and discuss matters OF public
interest, will be eligible, and the average
of intelligence will certainly be raised.

Burlington Gazette: 1t is simply remark
able to see with what bitter venom and
malignant spite the ultra prohibitlonists fol-
low up the manufacturing bill that might
possibly come before the legislature this win
ter. Protests against the passage Of such q
bill are arriving in the legislature almost by
the ton. Just what objection these people
have TO the establishment OF a brewery or a
distlllery that will consume Iowa products
or furnish employment to Iowa men; which
will require the products OF Iowa manufac-
tories to build and the employment OF Iowa
mechanics to erect. Is one of those strange
things that the ordinary business men can
not understand. The right to sell beer and
whisky in Iowa has been given by an act
CT the legislature. Why must all the money
that these goods are sold for be sent out OF
the state to pay men in other localities for
doing the work that men can be hired for IN
Iowa. II II is no crime TO sell II, 1t is GER
tainly no crime to manufacture 1t.

couraged Senator Dubois of Idaho to bolt

Minneapolis Journal: The new populist SEN
ator from Idaho is said to be a man "or

Tor all that, be better educated than many
men who have annoyed the college authori-
ties for foui years, still the news is likely
to make the general populist party "chortle
in its glee."

Idea who Henry Heitfelt of Idaho is beyond
that he Is a pCpulist, but it is enough that he
has been elected United States senator over
Dubois. Even the appeals of the chairman
of the democratic national committee could
not bring the democrats in the Idaho legis-
lature to the support of the renegade re-
publican. He has been slain by those to
whom he deserted.
Chicago Tribune: Senator Dubois will be
succeeded by Henry Heitfelt, a state sena-
tor. This will be well deserved punishment

AT least some of the prevailing distrust
OF courts and their ways is due to the I'M
scrupulous zeal of lawyers with bad cases.
In Missouri the lawyers in the case of Mr..
Duestrow, the millionaire convicted of a
horrible murder, are giving a nice ~illustra-
ton of how the col rts are dragged down
to help the lawyers. The supreme court
sustained the rulings of the lower court in
the case, but the attorneys have filed a mo-
ton for a rehearing in which they charge
that the court never read the record in the
case and that the prosecuting attorney was
permitted to write the opinion. In proof of
this errors are pointed out in the
written decision, showing that the author
was not familiar with the record. AS the
prosecuting attorney must have been pretty
familiar with the record the inference that
he, instead of the court, wrote the decision,
seems hardly warranted. A lawyer with
a millionaire client facing the gallows would
not hesitate to denounce any court If by that
method hope of defeating justice could be
increased.
