A DEMOCRATIC SCARE.

All that is necessary in Texas to de-
feat any measure in the Legislature,
no matter how wise or necessary is TO
assert that it will hurt the Democrat
ic party. and that will end 1t. This
was the case with that bill for the
regulation of the status Of foreign res
idents in regard to citizen rights that
was killed so summarily in the House
this week. 1t was a bill that should
have become a law. 1t was in line
with the provisions of the Federal
constitution. 1t was also in line with
the regulations of other states having
wise regard for the privileges of
American citizenship. But the cry
was raised against it that if it be-
came law it would affect the Demo
cratic vote in the state, and as mat
ter of course it was incOntinently kill
ed. That foreigner can come into
Texas, direct from Europe, declare
his intention TO become n citizen and
vote within Il fortnight of arriving
here, while a full fiedged American
from another state must reside here a
year before he can vote, is such ira
vesty on common sense and justice
that one wonders that the bill before
the Texas House did not commend it.
self to the members Of that body. The
wonder ceases, however, when the
mental calibre of that body is careful
ly criticised. 1t was not elected to
represent the wisdom and good sense
and AmericaniSm of the state, but to
perpetuate the Democratic power in
the state to the end Of the chapter.
That the joint resolution. submitted
by Shelburne, requiring a five years
in the country before citizen
rights obtained, would have any in
imical result as to the Democratic
party in this state is all nonsense, but
it was enough that the hue and cry
that it would was raised. That asSer-
ton, unsupported by the least shad-
DIV of evidence floOred the bill, which
was one of the wisest measures that
will be presented this session. The
declaration of intention business may
well be dispensed with, but the resi-

a Sportsman freed.

When James A. Low, the governor
Of Oahu Jail, returned from tho
States the other day, he brought
several thorouA hbred bloodhounds
with him, which he had obtained
FROM Sheriff Matthews of Salinas,
California, and which he intends to
use in catching escaped prisoners.
Mr.. Low was trying the dogs the
other Gay, A native was sent out
with start Of one hour, and travel
ed as rapidly as he could over the
Kahauiki lands.
The dogs were lot loose and i'm
mediately struck the trail OF the ka.
naks, followed by Mr.. Low and
others on horseback. In Is minutes
from the starting point the dogs had
caught the man, who wisely stood
still, until the jailor's party arrived.
While pursuing their quarry the
dogs did little private detective
business, which a certain famous
sportsman will not forget in hurry.
The gentleman in question is an
ardent hunLor, and remembering
that the 10Th Of September is draw

He wasn't poaching. Oh, mo- but
the id bloodhounds coming at
full speed made him realize that he
had unconsciously strayed on to the
other fellows preserves. He saw
six immense big dogs coming along
and being interested in the life oil
animals, and also pricked by his
conscience, he decided to inspect
the dogs from a more elevated
point OF view, and in spite of hi:
years he climbed the nearest tree in
manner which would have done
credit to an acrobat or a Nun
chansen.
The dogs (between 6 and II now

A Scheme That Did Not Work

A San Francisco correspondent OF
the New York Times has exposed
what he terms a Hawaiian scheme
under which Asiatic labor would
continue to be imported after the
annexation Of the islands, The
scheme rests upon an interview in
which Mr. Cooper, the Hawaiian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, is re-
ported to have said:
81 would not agree to annexation
Of the islands except upon condi-
tions which would be favorable to
us in respect to our labor. may be
opposed in this view; but our indus
tries require cheap labor, and l do
not believe VIC should adopt mea-
sure which would mean suicide to
those industries"
Possibly Mr.. Cooper said these
words and possibly he did not. The
name OF the interviewer is not given.
If he did, he will not prevent the
laws Of the United States from APP
plying to the importation of con-
tract labor after the island is an
nexed. 1t is quite within the power
of the Hawaiian Government to
withhold its assent to annexation,
but it is not in its power to- reverse
the policy of the United States on
the labor question. The correspon-
dent of the Times asserts that the
Japanese war talk is invented to
make Americans believe that Japan
will take the islands if the United
States does not act quickly. II this
is true, the scheme failed. Congress
adjourned while the Japanese war
talk was at it's height without taking
action on the treaty.-.S. +. Bulletin.
