THE CENSUS.

Among the public documents
of the present biennial period the
Report of the General Superin.
tendent of the Census, 1896, will
hold place as one of the most in
teresting and valuable. Alatau
I. Atkinson, the official named =,
seems to have done his work
thoroughly we'll. When the
blanks were given out to the
press, at the beginning of the
work, there was some criticism of
the schedules, but the points of
objection were for the most part
satisfactorily answered. Then,
during the enumeration, resis-
lance was offered to questions of
property, which being taken into
court prevailed. This difficulty
only showed defects in the law,
however, for the enumeration of
property quantities and values is
common to the censuses of many
countries. In his report the
General Superintendent advises
the passage of new census law,
with the required or desired
schedules duly set forth. The
system of taking the census seems
to have been very we'll planned.
There were four district supe rim
tendents for Oahu, eight for Ha.
waii, -four for Maui, one for Molokai
and five for Kauai-22 altogether
whose nationalities were Anne
rican 6, British 6, Hawaiian born
American 2, Hawaiian born
British 2, German 5 and Part Ha-
waiian l. There were l58 COM
missioned enumerators, viz: Ha-
waiians 70, Part Hawaiians 43,
Americans 10, British IL, Ger.
mans 3, Portuguese s, Japanese
2, Russian l and Spanish l.
Thus it will be seen that
ll6 in all out of 15S
enumerators were of Hawaiian
blood. The Superintendent kept |
within the appropriation, which
was $1,000, by $1,000, and did the
work at less cost per capita than
that of either of the previous cen
suses of 1884 and 1890. For this
census of 1896 the per capita cost
was $3.50 cents for population of |

A CURIOUS DEFENSE.

Our morning contemporary at.
tempts to defend its illumination
of arguments capable of being used
against annexation in the United
States. 1t is a very curious de-
tense. Charles Sumner, Horace
Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Henry
Ward Beecher and others we're
regarded as cranks for denounc-
ing slavery, and dangerous
persons for pushing opposi-
ton to that institution on
to the "irrepressible conflict
and the now editor of
the Advertiser was there
and saw and heard them, and
helped John Brown pack rifles
into box in Massachusetts. Yet
the movement against slavery
prevailed in the end. Therefore,
the Advertiser would have its
readers believe, it is right to make
existing conditions in Hawaii
look as black as possible, so that
the United States may not buy q
pig in poke by taking over the
islands. Presumably our contem.
porary regards contract labor, with
tho incident of alien races in
great number Hereunder, as the
equivalent of that human bondage
which his distinguished acquain-
tances of the past nobly combated
to the bitter end. That is Wild
ly extravagant idea. The worst
liable concomitants of contract
labor are eliminated, or at least
neutralized, by wholesome laws
generally we'll administered. Be-
sides that the system is very far
from universal in the operation of
our one great industry. A great
proportion of the labor
is free labor and, even
as regards the exceptions that
form a safety check, the contracts
are entered into freely and afford
the laborers advantages and rights
the counterpart of those SO.
cured to the employers. So
far as being mingled with
danger to civilization is concerned,
the labor question has long been
recognized in that light. The
constitution and laws contain safe.
guards against that danger the
most potent that the best wisdom
Of the country could devise up to
his time. So that to upbraid the
nation in general for taking no !
hought for the morrow is more
han unjust-it is an evidence of
blind, yea of cranky, prejudice on
he part of the local jeremiah. |
Especially when many of the best
minds of the country are con-
tantly thinking of reform in the
abor system and barricades
Igsinst barbarism. What the
prophet of evil loses sight of alto

ome of the chief reasons why
Hawaii should urge its admission

The truth of Thunder Clouds assertion
cannot be denied. Statistics show that yearly
thousands of people are suddenly stricken on

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The inter-

ing won and lost two games and one
being a draw. When the match was

remaining to be finished today The
games resulted in the loss of one by

roth to save the day for America by
winning his game, and the deepest
interest was manifested in every move
made. He started under the neces-
sity of making six moves in thirteen
minutes, but soon caught up and had
time to play Studiously. When the
announcement of the result of his game
came the cheers of the spectators filled
the room for several minutes.
At 2:10 p. m. play was begun. The
greatest interest was manifested in
the play at the fourth table, where it
was thought a few moves would indi-
cate the result to be expected. After
a time the crowd shifted to No. 5,

wages affecting all men not under the ANAL

a result the open hearth workers and some
other employees, in all obout 200, refused to
go to work last night. The firm employs
nearly 5000 men. The strike will probably

morning the strikers gathered about the

was evidently signal, for instantly all the
men at work, except the tonnage ANAL

if the reduction did not indicate that the

when it comes up for consideration and that

tion'' Mr.. King added: I'VE have been

compelled to make a reduction, but prices
have had downward tendency, and we put
it off as long as we could, hoping business
might improve. We must either operate our
