English speaking people. Viewing
the subject from a purely merce-
nary standpoint the newspapers
employ white labor in order to en-
JOY pleasant reciprocal relations
with the people whose business they
obtain. In just the same line the
man who turns out agricultural
products has duty to perform.
The agriculturalist enjoys reel
procal relations with the United
States. The object Of the Recipro-
city Treaty was not to furnish ma
terial to build up an Asiatic popu-
laion in this country. And as
the employers of labor depart
from the spirit Of that reciprocal
contract they viii suffer the dan
ger OF withdrawal Of the support
by the party of the second part.
We fully appreciate the hard
work that has been done by men
of brains to bring our staple In
dustrv mp To It's present standard,
but all this work will be worse
than wasted if these same brainy
men with one hand draw blessings
from the springs Of science aud
reciprocal friendship and with the
other cut the throat Of American
civilization in this country.
Ii Is not until quite recently
that the people generally have
come 10 view in It's proper light
the pernieious tendencies of our
present labor system ,nd we are
pleased 10 note that there seems
TO be a general change Of front all
along the line. We are firm in
the belief that the white labor agi-
tadon which our correspondent de
precates viii prove something
more than passing furry and Of

President Mckinley is certainly

RULE CT BRITISH CAPITAL

DR.. Karl Peters who a<pires to
be nothing more than an historian
Is writing s book on the Rise OF
the British Empire" in which he
gives the Bryanites and anti-arbri-
tration treaty hends Of the United
States a lot Of nice material 10
work upon. DR.. Peters states that
the United States Is practically I'M
der the control OF British capital
i<rS and its independence Is only
q small degree above that enjoyed
by Australia and Canada. He
maintains that British imperialism
i founded upon money. The an
aual tribute Of the United States
70 England Is estimated az $3.50
100000 while that Of Australia Is
only about s75.0OO,0o0. DR.. Pc
ters then draws the conclusion
that the stars and stripes float over
an immense dependency TO Great
Britain.
As one Of the practical proofs
OF his statement the historian calls
attention 10 rapidity with which the
American wsr spirit in connection
with the Venezuelan affair cooled
down when the British bondholder
began 10 manipulate the markets
Il i claimed that the United
States paws tribute just the same
as the conquered nations OF ancient
times paid tribute 70 their con

that he is Disguised with the work

stances, ''savors of carnival of

HISTORIANS AND PUBLIC MEN.

The average magazine writer
who devotes his attention to the
public men of the present day is
generally disposed to laud his sub
ject's character to the heavens or
else assert that the man is an all
round hend. \ splendid example
Of writer who allowed himself ito
run away with himself is given IN
an article ON President Diaz of
Mexico published in the current
number OF Harpers Monthly. After
reading about three pages devoted
10 an exuavagsnt disertion on the
wonderful character OF Diaz, one
Is lead TO believe that the writer
was suffering under the influence
OF an extra fine dinnerAwith ex-
ira dry wines on the side-at the
Presidents palatial residence.
George Washington doesn't hold a
candle TO President Diaz if the
writer for Harpers knows anything
about it.
No doubt President Diaz is
remarkable man. What he has ac-
eomplished in bringing Mexican
politics cut of chaos speaks vol
umes. and We are disposed 10 be
lieve Charles Dudley Warner
when he SAYS the President of
Mexico has a viii of iron but the
ron IS clothed in silken garments.
The public laughs however, when
the writer for Harpers makes Diaz
q ut subject for immediate trans
lation TO higher sphere. OF
course there can be but one Diaz,
but when he passes off the stage
Of action, there viii be some one
70 take the place he occupies and
possibly Ill it with equal satisfac
ton to the people. Hero wor-
shippers in these times are at a dis
count.
The average writer who deals
with public men and public affairs
Is inclined TO push one man to the
front and put the halo of glory
about one head only. The power
behind the throne, and the men
whodothe work for the figure head
seem 10 be forgotten and 50 far
As the public Is concerned the ae-
tnal moulders OF policy are I'M
known The figure head Is given
all the credit for the work done.
The writers notice the trend Of
affairs and then proceed TO build
one mans character 10 fit the case.
Even President Diaz, remarkable
though he may be, has not been the
sole agent Of peace and progress in
MS country.

koHALA. CORRESPONDENT AGAIN

Our Kohala correspondent IN
his second letter makes some pecu-
liar comparisons between the ed
tor Of newspaper and the man
aser Of 4 sugar plantation. Ia
the newspaperlnan who knows the
number Of bloated bondholders
among those in his business the
comparison Is highly amusing.
The remuneration held out to edi-
tors Is money and experience, :
The other fellow usually gets the
money and the editor gets the ex-
peuence.
We take pleasure however in
comparing the business policy Of
the corporation controlling this
paper and the policy Of those whom
our kohala correspondents cham
pious. We admit that newspapers
take advantage Of improvements
in machinery and whatever
science or mechanical skill may
have accomplished TO enable q
larger amount Of work TO be done
At smaller cost. We believe that
the sugar planter should make the
best possible use Of science, and
also improve his mills and every
mechanical detail connected with
the manufacture Of sugar. The
scientist has done a wonderful
work. which Is not only apparent
10 mil owners, plantation owners
and farmers. but also 10 the COM
mon people who now have the
benefit II luxurie> which compare

workingmen could not afford TO

assistance i not 10 throw men ont

amount Of production. reduce
prices and bring formerly expen-
ave products within reach Of the
men with small incomes

MUST STAND TRIAL.
No Escape for Captain Reed
of Ship 7. F. Cakes,
Accused Of Brutality Treating Sailors
on Trip Home from China.
The Trial Will Commence. Thursday Morning.
a. New York.

New York. May 1S.-When Captain
Edward w. Reed Of the ship T. e.
Cakes, accused Of cruelty to his crew in
not providing proper food on the
voyage from Hong Kong to this city.
was called for pleading, little before
noon, today, before Judge Brown,
Abram S. Rose, who appeared for the
accused, demurred to the Indictment.
He argued that the statutory regula-
ton under which the Indictment had
been drawn could not be considered a
general one. ON Il trip from here t.
the West Indies a certain class of fo3d,
he maintained, would be considered
proper, but the statute did not say what
sort of food should be furnished be-
tween Hong Kong and this port. Judge
Brown, however, ruled that the indict =
ment covered the case, and set the
trial of Captain Reed for Thursday
n orning next, in the criminal branch
Of the United States circuit court.

OVER 100 PEOPLE HOMELESS.
Lumber Village Of Zealand. N. II Swept 0u
Of Existence by Fire.

Manchester, N H., May 1S-A special
to the Union from Zealand. n. H., via
Twin Mountain, says: The lumber
camp of Zealand is a mass Of flames,
tonight and more than 100 people are
homeless with little besides the scanty
clothing they stand in. The camp is
one of the largest in the north county
and is operated by Messrs. Vandyke &
Sons.
The fire originated in a peculiar man
ner. \ pulley in the box shop became
loose and it's friction set on fire a guam
tity of shavings. The alarm was imme-
diately sounded but in less time than
it takes to relate it the strong southerly
wind had famed the flame into a de
structive flame which spread from mill
20 mill and from house to house until
the whole village was in flames.
In a short time the vast piles of lum-
Der were feeding the flames and it is
estimated that 50,000000 feet of logs
together with 100000 feet of sawed
lumber We're destroyed. 1t is estimated
that $125o00 will scarcely cover the loss
The heaviest loss is that of Van Dyke
K Sons. j. e. Henry & Son of Lincoln,
y. H.. own the building, but their loss
is slight and fully covered by insur-
ance.
The Boston e. Maine Railroad tele-
graph wires are down along the track
for half q mile and communication
with Fabyans is entirely cut off. The
little railroad station has moved its
effects and is momentarily expected to
be burned down.
