A TRAM-CAR REGULATION.

There is pressing need of a law
which will regulate the exit Of China
men from the tram cars. Not only in
this place, but in the United States,
the narrowing spectacle is quite COM
mon of a Chinaman springing from
car in motion. AS he invariably faces
the rear instead of the front of the
car, in doing so, he loses his balance
at once, and is violently thrown to the
ground, and rolls in the dirt.
The men of other nationaJities, on
the contrary, face the front of the car,
in slipping off while it is in motion,
and easily preserve their balance.
A racial question is apparent in
these divergent practices. The north
pole of the European compass is the
south pole of the Chinese compass.
The European leads his horse into the
stall. The Chinaman backs his horse
into the stall The European left"
is the Chinese right" This univer-
sal "contrairiness' distinctly appears
in reversing the European method of
leaving the car. How this racial diff
ference began and developed has not
yet become a study, as it should be,
and our Scientific Organization should
take it up. The latest discovery in
Palestine of a note book kept by
Adam, before he was snaked out of
the garden of Eden, shows conclusive
ly that Eve was the mother of at least
one Chinese child, and he received the
same privileges, food, and instruction
as the children Of other types Of which
she was the mother. Therefore, the
singular racial differences of the Chi
nese from other races must be due to
post-Paradise epoch, when inf1u-
ences operated of which we have no
record.
Legislation may not entirely pre-
vent the play of Chinese racial forces,
| in leaving a car while in motion. But
if the penalty of leaving a car in a
way which outrages the principles OF
dynamics is enforced, there will be
fewer Mongolians rolling in the dust.
If the Legislature will pass an anti
| "get-Out- backwards-law," it will only
add another jewel to it's brilliant Leg
islative crown, and enforce by law a
principle which it constantly violates
in it's own legislative locomotion.

EUROPEAN LABOR.

The statements made in another
column, regarding the Austrian labor
ers on the Lihue plantation, are re
liable and extremely important.
They indicate that it is within the
power of the plantation managers to
secure this class of desirable labOrers
The managers of the Lihue plantation
have been from time to time, unjustly
attacked by certain persons, through
the press, for their treatment Of
European Iaborers. The evidence does
not sustain these attacks. While there
may have been individual cases of
harsh and unjust treatment. where
there has been error on both sides. it
is evident that the European laborers
have generally no cause for complaint,
under all the circumstances.
AS a method of replacing the
Asiastics with another kind of labor,
this experiment at the Lihue planta
ton is very valuable, and deserves the
closest attention of the Government.
1t cannot be said however that these
Austrian laborers, or indeed any labor
ers from the poorest class of any
country make the most desirable"
population here. The cheap laborer of
today, will make the laws of the coun-
try in due time, if the principles of
self government are to prevail. Every
immigrant is political factor.
But the preservation Of the sugar
industry is of the first Importance,
so long as it is the chief industry of
the country. The difficult problem
is to preserve it, and at the same
time make good citizens of the men
who are the laborers. This must be
done, not because the planting interest
is philanthropic or missionary affair,
but because it must, if it is wise, raise
the character of the men who are
to make laws which govern planta-
tions.
Contract labor" will go in due
time, or reciprocity will go. The
planters must make some provision
for the future. contented class OF
laborers means insurance against
strikes, and insurance against fire.

CRITICISING GOVERNMENTS.

Even the intelligent press of Lon
don, which is the centre of the great
British Empire, cannot agree about
the wisdom of the British statesmen.
An outsider, in reading the opinion of
the press regarding the capacity of
these rulers, would be justified in be-
lieving that they were an incompe-
tent lot
Regarding the Far Eastern question,
and British relations with Russia and
China, the Times regards the British
diplomacy as partial failure" The
Standard thinks Sir William HarcOurt
held sorry position" in criticising
Mr.. Balfour In letting the British
fleet leave Port Arthur the Daily News
says: want of foresight, absence of
determination, inconsistency between
brave words and timorous deeds, con-
cession where there should have been
opposition; opposition where there
might be concessions,-ha been the
feeble course of the Cabinet" The
Morning Post says the withdrawal of
the British ships from Port Arthur
was a "humiliating episode" The
Daily Telegraph says: The mischiev-
Gus talk about running away before
Russian menances should be dropped"
The Daily Chronicle says: THE inter
ests of the Empire have been flung
away either by incompetence or in
difference" The Morning Advertiser
approves of the policy of the govern
ment in trying to maintain the ''open
door," The Daily Graphic thinks that
the country has come very we'll out
of the recent scramble in China" The
Morning Leader, says of Mr.. Balfour:
His labored, feeble, hesitating effort
explained our failures in the Far
East.
In addition to the London press, the
Leeds Mercury says the measures of
the government are ''maladroit." The
Birmingham Daily Post says: Eng
land does not want war; and the gov
eminent is right in ignoring the
taunts of those who are trying to drive
her into it. The GLASGOW News says
that the Opposition is ready to
blame the government, but suggests
nothing.
Our own Cabinet should in its weari-
ness over mild criticism, take some
solid comfort in reading the stories of
the way the English press make it
hot for the leaders of the Empire
Does the Cabinet realize that the local
press, as rule. does not disturb it's
peaceful rest on velvet, cushions, and
never descends upon it in a tornado
OF dust and storm?
Is the Executive thankful?

Boys in calling, school and evening
dress are shown in the group of children,
while the girls signify to what extent the
tailor fashions have gone in walking
suits. One of the pretty gowns has its
upper portion of skirt and waist of sage
green cloth, and the lower halves of the
richer rifle green. Both top of skirt and
body are cut in series of jagged points,
that overlap the dark green portion, and
are finished with black silk braid. Points
of sage green extend on the sleeve cap,
and in the rear this pretty petticoat has
its placket hole snugly fastened by a row
of small green buttons.
The second school suit is cedar brown
camers hair, garnished on the scant skirt
with duh red braid in three sizes. Braid

An Athletic RenufN.

Whether or no ardent practice of out
door sports is injurious to beauty is a
mighty serious question with a good
many American women. To quiet all
doubts and give ocular proof of the truly
beautifying influences of sport, let men
tion be made of some of the famous En-
glish beauties and their sincere love of
all sorts of fresh air play
Here, for example, is the marchioness
of Downshire. If any one denies this
lady's good looks they are simply imper-
viouS to the charms of a rosy, satiny
complexion, rich, bright, chestnut hair,
faultless teeth, ruddy lips and limpid
brown eyes All these features, along with
a handsome figure, this young woman
possesses, and yet in the width and
length of England there is not a more
jealous and accomplished rider to hounds,
wielder of golf clubs or expert bicyclist.
Lady Downshire is something more
than this, for she does not mind turning
out of bed very, very early in the morn
ing, drawing on long rubber boots, slip
ping into a waterproof cloth coat and,
staff in hand, spending a morning with
the hounds. 1t is, however, as a horse

Lady Wilmot, and her two aunts, Lady

WOMEN WILL WEAR WIGS.
At Least, That Is What Some Fash
ion Prophets Say.

Those who expect that women will ever
be content with masculine sameness and
simplicity in dress will find themselves in
the end much mistaken. AS soon as some
much-needed reform has been affected
and common-sense people are congratu-
lating themselves that at last the femi-
nine fashions seem to be ruled by COM
mon sense, another new absurdity will be
introduced so that the disheartened re-
formers throw up their hands and ex-
claim What next!' The last and most
senseless freak of fashion, says the Pitts
burg Leader, is the new and extraordi-
nary fad recently adopted by the society
women abroad of wearing wigs-another
indication, by the way of the strong in
huence of the Louis XVI period Just at
present felt in many of the modern fash
ions The English and French 'grandes
danes" are now, it is said, twisting up
their own smooth, well-groomed locks
into a tight knot on top of the head and
covering the hair with a beautifully
waved wig, which may be conveniently
dressed on a block, and has none of the
manifold inconvenience of ones own
hair, which is so apt to become limp and
straight, or blousy and unkempt, accord
ing TO weather and occupation. The pres
ent ordule style is, as every one must
acknowledge, only pretty and becoming
under adverse circumstances, when the
hair is naturally curly.
There is u certain amGunt of common
sense underlying the absurdity of wear
ing wigs, however, that proves that the
end OF the century mondaine IS practical
even in her fashionable eccentricities. She
may delight in the picturesque effects OF
the elaborate hair dressing of Marie An
toinette, but she has no mind 10 give up
hours of her precious time 10 sitting un-
der the hands of the, hair dresser. More
over, TO be up TO date, she must be more
or less sporty; she must ride, play golf,
cycle, etc. How could she do all this If
her hair has to be kept in immaculate
order, and yet be arranged in the various
and elaborate coiffures which are now a
la mode and which suit her grand toilet
so perfectly? So, with the essentially
modern faculty of doing more in one day
than our grandmothers would do in two.

clusively TO the shortcomings of serv-

linen and crumbless carpets. Hunt out

up in faded ribbon at the back of your

your cuffs and collars, gush over the
neatness of your darning. 1t was your

tice laugh once a day, you might get
