for a white man to labor here as it
is in the countries of the southern
part of the temperate zone. The
white mechanics-the bricklayers,
the plasterers, the stonemasons, the
carpenters, who all have to work in
the open air under the beams of the
sun-hnd no diminution of health
from following out their avocations.
Indeed, they are more healthy in
this climate than they are in more
rigorous climates. Many men who
have followed such avocations on
these islands for the past twenty or
thirty years are as hale and hearty,
and as capable of prolonged toll, as
ever they would have been in the
United States or in Europe.
AS to white labor on the planta-
tons, the Germans who have been
employed in Lihue show an i'm
proved physique from what they
had on their arrival, and their chill
dren have not degenerated. The
Portuguese, also, have by means
suffered they can and do work as
well as ever they do in the fruit vine
yards of California. And, in their
case too, the children show no fall
ing off in physique-indeed, anyone
studying the matter will see a dis
tinct improvement.
1t is a notable fact that the off
spring of the white race in Hawaii
does not deteriorate as it does in
other tropical countries. When Our
boys and girls go to college in the
States, and come into competition
with those born in the temperate
zone, they are able to hold their
own, and somewhat more. Men
tally, they are brilliant, and take
the foremost places in their classes;
physically, they are strong, and
show an unusual average of ath-
letes out Of their small numbers.
With these facts before them, it is
ridiculous for any casual observer Of
week or so to ak of the impossi-
bllity of white men working in this
climate. Men and women work
quite as hard here as they do else
where and thrive on their work.
Indeed it is the workers who are
the healthiest. 1t is those who lead
a lazy, lacadaisical life that suffer
from ill-health.
Some people maintain that
change of climate is necessary for
jewellers here every few years
While it is pleasant to have this
change it is by no means necessary,
and the writer knows people who
have retained their vigor and energy
for two or three decades without
ever leaving these shores. The
facts are clean against anyone who
talks of this not being a country
suitable for Caucasian to live and
work in.

The presence of the Brooklyn in
English waters has caused the Brit
ish Admiralty to plan for ships of
like class. The gap between the
protected cruiser and the battleship
has, in the English service, been
filled by the second-class battle
ships. The trouble with ships of
this latter class is that they lack
the speed of vessels of the Brooklyn
type. The new vessels which the
British Government intend to build
are to have displacement of II, $50
tons while the Brooklyn has 10, so.
Great Britain is very careful about
keeping her naval power to the top
notch.

AERMOTORS-GOOD THINGS.
The Aermotor Company
has, from the first, known
what to do and how to do it,
and, as consequence, it came
without a name or much mon
ey into a field in which mil
lions of dollars were entrench-
ed, and has taken, and now
holds and enjoys, at least,one-
half Of the windmill business
of the United States and of
the globe.
We wish to say that the
Aermotor has been a most
pronounced success in the Ha-
waiian Islands. To-day we
are selling more of these mills,
both pumping and geared,
than all the other concerns
put together. Why? Be-
cause we have the best mill
ON EARTH
Our reason for claiming this
is simply because we are fortu-
nate enough to be the agents,
and because the mills we have
put up in various parts of the
islands have stood the test aUhere
others hare failed.

A BAD SCHEME.

hOoS " III ollONS W oSl lLS lld
waiian against annexation are doing
him the greatest wrong it is possible
to do. Left an unprotected wait
upon the Pacific ocean, the Hawai-
ian will disappear before forces
which will overwhelm him.
The hardest part of the matter is
that the Hawaiian is to be bribed
to cut his own throat. At least the
attempt is to be made to urge him
to consummate his own doom. For
revenge, to carry out its own policy,
to spite those who have opposed it
the Sugar Trust IS willing, nay
anxious, to cut away any chance
of existence of the Hawaiian, and
is willing to see him overwhelmed
by the Asiatic wave that it would
let in.
This is practically the meaning
of what will happen should the
plans of the so-called royalists and
the Sugar Trust be carried out.
Spend little money and it will be
easy enough to get a crowd to-
gether. 1t can be done in any city
in Europe or the United States for
any cause that is desired. 1t is
easy enough to get orators to howl
any kind of sentiments to such
a mob-the leather-lunged come
cheap enough. But men who are
accustomed to public demonstra-
tions, and who know how money
can be, and is, used to bolster up
any cause can see through such a
movement and value it at exactly
what it is worth.
Knowing, as the annexation
party does here, the agents who
are being employed to work up the
pseudo patriotic movement, and the
persons in whose hands the funds
are, it will not be difficult to con-
vince anyone, who might, for a
moment, be carried away by the
apparent spontaneity of the move
ment, of the actual spuriousness OF
it. AS was said in these columns on
Friday, it is "a last throw" and,
like many last throw, the gambler
puts pile of dollars on it. Also,
like many last throw, it will fail
to improve the fortunes of those
who cast it.
Annexation is the only means by
which these islands can be saved
from Asiaticism. Not only do the
clearer-headed and clearer sighted
see it here, but by the Anglo Saxon
States to the south of us, who feel
the pressure Of the Asiatic also, it
is thoroughly realized-realized to
the extent of their losing sight of
their national acquistiveness, and
being willing-and even eager
that different Government from
their own should take possession of
the important post. Such will ng-
ness on their part shows how i'm
minent they regard the danger, and
how thoroughly they realize it.
And if powerful communities like
these southern colonies, with their
rapidly increasing population, and
the prestige Of one of the greatest
of earthly powers behind them,
realize this danger, how much
greater must it be for the Hawaiian,
with a slowly decreasing popula-
ton and with nothing behind him,
if he wilfully tries to throw away
his sheet anchor of annexation.
But, as has been said before, the
scheme will fail Any effort that
is bolstered up with the money of
the Trust or with the money of
Claus Spreckels, must fail. A true
expression of Hawaiian opinion
might have had some influence,
but bought expression will have
no more influence than a breath
of air upon the armor-plate of a
cruiser.

The I'LL of Death.

The Smithsonian Institution scien-
lists say that the most remarkable
prehistoric monument in the south
western states-maybe in all the coun-
try-is a black barren butte on the
lower Gila river, some fifty miles east
Of Yuma. 1t is not wonderful from
any architectural standpoint. There
are no marvellous hieroglyphics nor
immense pieces of engineering work
which battle the minds Of modern scien-
lists. 1t is but plain, bald, rocky
point, uglier and palmer for its sharp
contrast against the clear blue sky.
But it is wonderful-because upon Its
aerial heights, which look down over
the green vegas and rolling potreros,
are the white and bleaching bones of
a band of people who fought the last
fight for existence. No one knows
when this battle was given nor who
were the besiegers of the besieged.
There are evidences of a mighty con-
flict, and the little mesa which tops
the mountain bears witness to the fear
fulness of the struggle by its carpet of
human bones. This point, which is
known locally as La Iona de Muerte,
or the Hill of Death, is a prominent
landmark throughout this whole re-
gion. 1t is Stunned by the Indians
and superstitious Mexicans as well.
The main highway from Tucson to
Yuma leads by the base of this hill,
and pious Catholics who have occa-
sion to pass along the route invariably
cast a rock upon the pile, which has
thus accumulated into a considerable
mound. Not very costly shrine, but
built with sincere hands.

Nathaniel Springfield, said to be the
richest colored man in Boston, died at
Portsmouth, Va, on Wednesday night.
His age wac 81, as supposed, his birth
place, also uncertain, is thought to be
Smithfield, Va. Facts more interesting
concerning him, however, are better
known. When a boy in Virginia he
was bound out to a blacksmith, and
when he came north TO Boston, fifty
years ago last October, his trade stood
him in good stead. Years later he went
into the straw business, and by fore
sight and shrewdness made money rap
idly, increased it by judicious invest
ment, and for years his name has
stood high among his own people. and
was good on State street for $150,O00.
He was a credit to his race and showed
pluck worthy of the imitation by white
men.

The practice of hiding money in the
house for safe keeping is foolish in the
extreme. Almost every week the news
papers relate the misfortunes of men
and women who, having secreted money
in stockings, stovepipes and feather
beds, forget its existence until fire had
destroyed or the ashman appropriated
it. Far more shocking, however. was
the result a few weeks ago of the prac-
tice of penurious Ohio farmer. In the
evening, as the family sat at supper.
two masked men entered. They killed
the farmer with clubs, and cruelty
wounded the wife, who escaped, call
ing for help. Fearing detection. the
robbers fed, leaving the daughter in
spasms. Neighbors searching the
house afterward found concealed a few
thousand dollars. Instead of the far
mer being alive, blessed with robust
wife and daughter and an interest
bearing capital, his violent death. the
permanent crippling of his wife and
the insanity of his daughter were the
direct RESULTS of his foolish distrust
OF SAVINGS banks and investments.

has become an accomplished fact. The
decision in effect is that when any pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
receives a majority of the votes cast
on the proposition whether or not it is
a majority of all the votes cast at that
election, the amendment is carried.
The woman suffrage amendment re-
ceived 5000 votes more than those cast
