THE JAPANESE MATTER.

The Japanese case is now this,
so far as we understand it. The
Japanese Government is unwlil-
ing to leave the subject OF the
$3.50" qualification for immi-
grants, to arbitration. On other
matters it desires to put various
limitations, but the Government
replies that, as the Government of
japan does not clearly define its
position, or desires to narrow the
question to be submitted to arbi-
tratiOn, it declines to accept the
King of the Belgiums as arbitra-
tor. AS the exact language Of the
correspondence is not given, we
are not able to state the case ac-
curateIy. 1t is, however, good
enough for newspaper business.
Our own Government does not APP
pear to have asked the Govern
ment of Japan to define more
clearly it position. Whether it is
irving to "call halt" on Japan,
we cannot say.

ZONE MISSIONARY LESS"

This was the hearty comment
made on the street yesterday, by
a supporter of the Government
on hearing of the resignation OF
Mr.. Jas. Il. Castle of the office OF
Collector-Gen of Customs
| This is about all the tribute"
which a faithful officer receives
from a large number of his fellow
citizens. Perhaps he gets nothing
more than he expected. 1t is
probably matter of Indifference
to him.
The "boys" no doubt are gen
orally congratulating themselves
on this sudden decrease of the
missionary" element. 1T gives
room for the workers to come in.
The new Collector-Ge will
be marked missionary or not mis-
sionary, in accordance with the
way he makes himself useful to
the unfortunate.
The tourist is always asking,
who is the ''missionary.' He
NAV be tersely described, as one
who is never in distress, when he
sees good government, and he has
weakness for the reign of law.
There is, however, the "unpardon-
able missionary" He, generally,
was born on the Islands, and his
ancestors established schools and
churches, and good civil admins
tratiOn here. For this, he has
been under strong suspicion of
having done something wrong,
and very many of those who have
arrived during the last few
years. feel that he has no bust
ness to be in the government,
even if he was born here, and
that it is his duty to CO." Well,
one of them has just gone. Others
will follow, when annexation
takes place, and ''fresh blood"
will flow through the arteries
and veins of this little political

wishes of sensible people than

who has done well, all that he
has been called upon to do. And
he has handled many delicate
matters. He has, moreover. act
ed in all things, with infeXible in
tegrity, in a position where it
was supremely needed. He has
also a turn for politics, but he
differs from the ordinary politi-
elan in one thing. He perfectly
understands that there must be
some principles in politics. Nine
tenths of the men who enter poll
ties carry no cOmpasses of princi-
pies, and when they are in the
woods, simply founder and are
begged.
There is much reason for say
ing that in the coming years, the
new Collector will be no small
figure in the history of these ISL

1.-THE DAM OF ANGLO-SAXON-
DOM"

With inexpressible joy we hail
the declaration of our cOtempOr-
airy, the Star, that our people
shave taken off their coats, and
are building up dam of Anglo
SaxOndOm. which will effectually
keep out the yellow tide" mean-
ing the Japanese). 1T is indeed,
a relief to hear that the grand
work has begun, and that our
contemporary knows all about 1T.
On looking into the matter we
find the case is very hopeful, and
the coats are coming off all
round. Not a single dollar of the
appropriation of $4,000 for inn
migration, other than Asiatic has
vet been spent in bringing in
Americans. This is a big stone
i'm the AnglO-SaxOn dam, and the
coats went off to do it. The An
nexation Club has never opened
it's mouth formally in favor of
white labor or even urged 1t.
More coats off. Another big
stone in the dam. The Planters
Supply Company has never taken
a decided attitude in favor of
Anglo Saxon immigration. More
coats pealed off. More cobble
stones in the dam. Out of sixty
six plantations, but three have
actually resolved to try Anglo
Saxon labor. More coats thrown
on the bank. Not a dollar has
yet been spent, by the commune
ty as whole, in the investigation
of and preparation for any Am
erican immigration. Another big
stone in the dam. More coats
off. The dam grows. Not q sin
gle plantation that has yet even
tried a thoroughly we'll organized
experiment in Anglo-SaxOn
labor. Another big boulder in
the dam. The last Legislature,
an annexation body, did not lift
its finger in the project of pro
noting Anglo-SaXOn immigra-
ton. Here went million bricks
into the dam, and more coats
were stripped off in the grand
work.
Into this ''dam of Anglo-SaxOn
DOM so grandly rising, the An
glo-Saxon himself has packed
during the last twenty years five
thousand barrels of Anglo-SaXon
cement, and topped that off with
$4,000 barrels of japanese ce-
ment and 10000 barrels of
Chinese cement. The ground was
strewn with the coats whipped
off when it was being done.
Finally comes an admirably
prepared census report, credit
to its author, which will 90 right
into the American Senate and
tell the whole story. When
these statesmen read up the
summary, that only about two
per. cent. of the population is
American, and only six per cent.
is Anglo-Saxon, they will see at
once the business, the truth and
the eloquence of our cotempor-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-09-02

There must be something the
matter with the foundations of
this wonderful dam. The Ameri-
can Government for the last four
years, has kept, at an expense
to itself of more than a half mil
lion of dollars per annum, a crew
in these parts, watching this
magnificent structure day and
night in order to shove in some
sort of gun cement, in case OF
break.
There seems to have been q
large amount of Irish engineer
ing" in building this dam. ''The
yellow tide" to the extent of many
millions of gallons is let in, and
is now damned in, instead of be
ing damned out,
If this illusion of a mighty
dam, with an army of CHASTITY
men at work on it, with piles of
supernatural coats in a heap on
the banks, is really the legitimate
effect, of poi and salmon" the
sooner the Government treats
that simple diet like opium, as a
dangerous drug and prohibits its
use, the sooner the users of it, will
cease to see visions and dream
dreams.

A PARAGON OF EXCELLENCE.

ALASKA Is attracting an
enormous amount of atten-
ton just now, and every line
of matter containing refer
ence to it, is eagerly scanned
by thousands.
In view of this, perhaps it
is not out of place to mention
a few facts worth consider
ing.
/. The Alaska is con-
structed upon strictly scien-
tiflc principles, by which low
temperature and drynesS of
air are naturally and newt

2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hot
test Weatner.
3. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice
than any other.
T.. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber
free from odor.
(. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch
and a half space filled with
pure charcoal, and experience
extending over three and a
half years, has convinced
us that the Alaska is without
doubt, the best refrigerator
on the market, in construc-
ton, in power. to preserve
perishable goods, in economy
of ice, and in fact, in ali
points necessary to make

WARRINGTON. April 24.-The Senate Commit
tee investigating the civil service methods Of

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson was also be-
fore tho committee and expressed the opinion
that the Civil Service laws needed modification,
particularly in regard to agents and inspectors
In his department, as 1t was impossible under
tho present regulations to secure competent,
practical men. Statsticians and the heads of

letter from Secretary Gage of the Treasury
Department was read in which he said that
while the Civil Service law was wise and benc.
fetal, 1t could in some ways be modified to ad-
deputy collectors Of internal revenue from the
provisions of tho law.
The policy OF the various departments here to
reinstate tho old soldiers and the widows of old
soldiers who were dismissed by the Cleveland

Commission considerable anxiety. In order to
create the necessary places an equal number OF
those in the classified service win DO dismissed

While this would be violation OF the spirit OF
the law. the commission Is powerless to prevent

to the Secretary Of the department under which

the employee for reasons satisfactory TO himself,
there the matter would end.
