1t would be an excellent practice in
the churches for the pastors, on Easter
Sunday, to announce that after the pre-
lude, ten minutes would be devoted to
the general inspection of each others
hats, by the women. The popular song:
Where Did You Get That HAITI" is at
present purely secular So some of our
best church music was secular, and
even came from the beer saloons of
Germany. In time this popular ballad
would take on some solemnity. 1t is
directly contrary to the principles of
human nature that a church should
suddenly blossom out into profusion
of gorgeous hats, and the services be
so arranged as to utterly ignore them.
Just as a view of beautiful landscape
contents the soul, so the contemplation
of a rich assortment of hats, brings
rest to the curious eye, and ought to
open the mind to greater things.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-At the
Japanese Legation here it is stated that
no advices have been received on the
line of the London rumOr that Japan
has asked the United States TO join
Great Britain in supporting Japan's re
fusal to withdraw from Wei-hai-wai
after the payment of the Chinese war
indemnity in view Of the possibility OF
Russia seizing that port The rumor

The Legislators have agreed to visit
the institutions" next Monday, and it
is settled that the Nation will treat
them, very properly, to a carriage ride.
The contract for carrying ought, how
ever, to be put out at once to the low
est bidder. In the SOS committee of the
Legislature of New Jersey visited the
city of New York, for the purpose OF
examining the institutions" of that
city. They spent the day on Randall's
Island, and at night, in a carriage con-
taiing II persons, visited those insti-
buttons, which are only at their best
at midnight and under gas light. Be
coming exhilarated, after visiting sew
eral beer gardens, they became so
noisy in the street, that when a police
man told them to keep quiet, they abus-
ed him. He took the carriage and con-
tents to the station house Some of the

dignity, and abused the police captain

OPIUM.

The opium affair puts the Govern
ment between the devil and the deep
sea. If the law giving the informer a
share of the penalty is repealed, opium
will circulate freely enough. Police
men do not search for crime, as a rule,
if the search involves extra duty. The
prospect of special profit makes them
vigilant. The smugglers of valuable
articles fear the informer who is look
ing for immediate reward. But this
practice of special rewards invariably
demoralizes the police force. 1t makes
special payments for discharging one
kind of duty, and does not make special
payments for discharging other kinds
of duty that are equally binding.
If there is no special incentive to de-
tect violation of the opium laws, moth
ing but the licensing of>the sale of
opium will check its ready distribu-
ton, without any advantage to the
State. The license plan, therefore,
seems to be the least of the evils, the
best refuge from the present alterna-
tive of the devil on one side and the
deep sea on the other.
The easy purchase of this article by
the natives is, of course, to be regret
ted. A native said the other day: Ell
some one would make as thrifty, and
saving, he would do US more good than
by stopping the sale of opium" But
We can quiet our consciences by simply

PLANTATION WAGES, ETC.

We print another letter elsewhere
from a responsible planter on the sub
ject of wages.
The writer as well as other planters,
does not understand that we are not
especially the champion of the poor
man, or do we especially advocate high
wages. What we are after is the es-
tablishment of class OF men here, who
will make wise laws for the govern
ment of life and property, if we must
remain independent. We have no class
of this kind now here, with any numer-
ical strength. If the planters are really
ready to be governed by the votes OF
their laborers. as they are now stu

legislating against opium, which does
not involve any hard work. To under
take to make the natives thrifty, means
a life of toll in training them. The
breed of men and women who prefer
a life of toll, in the face of immediate
worldly advantages, is as yet, quite
small, though it increases slowly.
There was substance in what the ma

KAIO CASE.
tive said.

In committing the death penalty in
the case of Kaio, to life Imprisonment,
the Council of State has carefully and
conscientiously discharged it's duty. Its
conclusion is, naturally enough, not en-
dorsed by some good citizens. AS men
view things from different standpoints,
disagreement must be expected. In a
case like that of Kaio the conclusion
to commute the death penalty is not
free from embarrassment. Inasmuch
as the Council, with ali the evidence
before it, has done so, no one should
seriously question it's action, unless he
has made himself as familiar with the
case as the Council has.
The Communication of the sentence is
not reflection on the action of the
jury. The jury were sworn to decide
the case on the evidence, and they did
so. They were, we believe, fully justi-
fed in finding Kaio guilty of being an
accessory before the fact. The commun-
ity thanks them for their honest and
just discharge of duty.
But the Council is authorized, by the
Constitution to do what the jury can
not do. 1t may regard political, social
or other relations. 1t may also con-
slider the whole theory of punishment
The jury, on their oaths cannot do this.
So that in committing the sentence, it
has not in any way unfavorably re-
flected upon the action of the jury.

tration to continue without legislative
interruption or hindrance the new ne
gotiations for a peaceful settlement of
the Cuban question now in progress at

10 days they promise no results, the

ated, well and good. So be it. Even
the 1.562 free Portuguese laborers on
the plantations can now, if allowed
out vote the planting interest. If the
planters accept this proposition, they
take the consequences, whatever they
are.
We advocate the creation, if posi-
Bile, of class OF men, strong and num-
erous enough, who at the ballot box,
will unquestionably support good gov
eminent, and protect the planting in
terest. Without outside aid we
must have such class, because we
cannot stand alone" without it.
Whatever wages are now paid to
Portuguese laborers, the standard of
wages is really fixed by the Asiatic
contingent. Even if We had American
farmers here, under control of the plan
taitons, this standard would govern.
IF Americans furnished cane to the
mills on contract at So per ton, and
the Asiatics offered it at $3.50, it would
be merely a question of time, when the
American would ego" The rate of
wages paid to the negroes of the Amer
lean Southern States, fixes in a large
measure, the wages paid to the white
labor. Yet for 80 years, the Southern
States have wondered why they did not
get white immigration in numbers.
We refer to good class of Portu-
guese, because they are at present, the
only social backbone, that we have in
numbers. Something would seem to be
wrong, if only 1856 of them out of a
total of 23,O47 laborers on the planta-
tions, are willing to accept the planters
terms The race is increasing more
rapidly than any other on these Isl
ands, and yet it seems to stand aloof
from the sugar industry. Why?
Are we not educating their numer-
Gus children, far outnumbering the
Teutonics, out of plantation life? That
is not the planters fault. The coffee
industry is not entirely settled, and it
requires capital. If we do not provide
some way of making them reasonably
they will naturally antagon-
ize us. 1t is not question of philan-
thropy on our part, but one of purely
selfish interest, just as men often buy
tracts of lands near cities, and give
large sections of them away in order
to get good neighbors.
What sum Portuguese with fam
lily can live on is only a relative ques-
ton and pretty wide one, whether it
be $13 or $40 or more The New Eng
land daddies were a fine type of men.

But they educated their
children to have wants." to become
and sent them westward.
We are so educating the children of
these Islands. Really about all we can
at present direct them to, for a supply
of wants, are the plantations. They
seem to decline them. Perhaps they
are wrong about it. But if we look at
the ominous Census tables, we can see
where the political whip handle is, or
will be. If it is held finally by either
an ignorant or disconnected class, and
there is no annexation, it is doubtful
the planting class, vastly i'm
portant as it is, will really crack the
whip.

If there should be war with Spain,
and these Islands become necessary,
from a strategic standpoint, to the
United States, annexation will take
place without delay. AS the matter
now stands, they must be abandoned
in case of war, unless the United States
takes the ground that they are under
American control. But if under Amer
lean control, they would be subject to
Spanish invasion, and that could only
be met by terrifying the Islands, and
stationing a fleet here. A war may
precipitate annexation, if it was long
and severe.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-04-12

While Hawaiian annexation is in
allegiance in Congress, the Cuban mat
ter is indirectly having an influence on
it. 1t is generally admitted that the
United States will have very close re-
lations with Cuba, in the near future.
The need of some form of a colonial
policy will be strongly felt. Events will
compel the United States TO institute
some colonial form of government,
which may finally affect these Islands.
