Public sentiment in England in re-
gard to the rights Of wOrkmen, the
effectiveness of strikes, the duties of
employers, etc, i'm fact all questions
relating to industry and capitalists
is much in advance of American
opinion. An English manufacturer
is educated to the point where he adj
mitS that single workman and he
are not in a position to make free con-
tract, and that the union raises its
members to within speaking and rea-
sOning distance of the employers. In
this country manufacturers and large
employers of labor are apt to regard
all unions as impertinent, anarchical
and unreasonable. The right of the
laborer TO the largest share of the pro
duct of his labor is still an unreasOn-
able demand. The steady growth i'm
membership and in the loyalty Of the
members to the various trades unions
is one of the most hopeful signs of in
dustrial progress in this country. The
legislation which has withdrawn chill
dren from competition and placed
them in the public schools is inspired
by wOrkmen ard is the direct result of
tradesuniOn discussion aud study of
industrial conditions. The unions are
transforming the laboring man from a
drudge into philosopher. from the
slave Of capital to an intelligent
partner.
Yet there is rarely any sympathetic

monies, whose rules compelled the wo-

Possibly these Senators, all Hawai-
ian born. are now tired of the religion
imported in these Islands by their
fathers. and desire to revert to the an
cient institutions of the land, on the
ground that the religion of the white
man, as well as the white man himself,
cannot work in the tropics" The
question of the values in comparative
religions, the making of a comparison
between the creeds of Hewahewa and
John Calvin is too serious matter to
be disposed of by bill in the Legisla-
ture The Republic is not yet ready for
theological Senators, like the spiritual
Lords in the British Parliament.
Possibly the immense increase in the
number of sugar gods requires that ac-
commodations be provided for them.
The heiaus might be useful in this re-
spect. THESE missionary Senators may
that religion cannot rise above the
condition of it's vOtaries," and that the
ancient religion of the Hawaiian is, on
the whole, better adapted to the con-
ditions of our present civilization,
which must be the average of all the
different nationalities here.
Senator McCandless will fervently
favor this bill, because the restoration
of the heather temples will naturally
restore the practise of offering human
sacrifices. He may therefore see the
"blackguards of the Advertiser" killed,
roasted and offered up to Kamapuaa,
in some temple, to the funeral music
of Captain Berger's band.
The public should hesitate to ap-
prove of this bill, until it has received
the approval of Mother Parker and
Mother Rice, who still are with us, as
representatives of that body of men
and women who made every effort to
destroy the heiaus, SO that not one
stone remained upon another. Even II
Senator Rice shows a fOndness for
paganism and favors the bill, the pub
lie will expect Representative 1senberg,
his nephew, to thoroughly sit down on
it. when it reaches the House.
It is of course possible that this Dill
looks only to the mere preservation OF
relics. But it is altogether ''too sud
den,' as the young women say, under
certain circumstances. We are not
quite prepared for it. 1t opens the way

REVIVING PAGANISM.

Senator Lyman yesterday presented
tee of which he is chairman, recon-
mending the passage of law which
will enable the Republic to obtain pos
session of and preserve the ancient
(heathen temples) heiaus
The object of this proposed law is
ostensibly the harmless preservation
of relics But is the public ready to
accept this explanation, without fur
ther inquiry? Senators Lyman, Bald
win, Wilcox and Rice are sons of the
older missionaries. AS business men
and citizens they are above suspicion.
All of them have had the opportunities
of obtaining pious educations at Puma
hou, although they may not have
worked these opportunities for all they
We're worth.
But when these Senators approve of
a measure for restoring the ancient
heather temples, which their fathers
Iabored earnestly to destroy, their mo-
tives should be closely scrutinized. If
the descendants of Hewahewa, the
chief priest who recommended the de-
struction of the idols in the early part
of the century made this movement to-
wards restoration, it would be natural
and logical enough, on the theory that
history is like the ring of a circus, and
the riders come around to the same
starting point. 1T is not the heather
that back this measure, but the sons of
the men who tried to make heathenism
an unhealthy recreation. Why do they
desire to ''rehabilitate the past?" Is
this an insidious scheme for restoring
the ancient abominable rites and cere-

THE NATIVE INCURABLES.

The Trustees of the Queens Hospital
request the Government to provide the
sum of s., 900 annually, for the main
tenance of native Hawaiian cOnsump-
tives, in separate and special wards to
be erected on the hospital grounds.
The Trustees are willing to erect the
necessary buildings on available sites
and so guarded that the patients Of the
main hospital will not be in any dan
ger from the contagiOn of "cOnsump-
ton" We understand that it is con-
coded that this can be done safely. If
the separate wards are constructed on
the hopsital grounds, the expense of
management will not be increased, and
in many other ways economy can be
practised. This branch of the subject
is. however, one for medical experts to
determine.

the purpose of maintaining it? The re-

bIes has humane aspect.

ing less able as time passes, to take
care of their sick and decrepid rela-
tives. The suffering to be seen, in this
class of people is already distressing
The absolute need of aims houses, such
as exist in the higher civilizations" is
pressing.
Aside from this view, however, is the
important sanitary aspect of the case.
AS it is now well settled that CON
sumption" is contagious, some way
must be found to keep the disease
within control. If it increases among
the native people, it may reach an
alarming stage, and finally injure the
reputation of the Islands, as health
resort The existence Of the disease In
Southern California begins to seriously
affect the reputation of that section as
a place for desirable residence. 1t is
extremely important that the good re-
putation of these Islands should be
preserved.
It may be said that too much has al
ready been done for the natives. In
comparison with other places, where
the stronger races have obtained pos
session, more has been done for the
original inhabitants here than else
where. much more perhaps. 1t is
difficult question to decide. 1t is not
necessary to decide it. The question
turns largely on sentiment and not on
reason. Ours is the stronger race, and
if has it's duties to the weaker race.
Our occupation of the Islands has not
been entirely conducted in the ways
that an intelligent and wise Christian
civilization demands. But according
to business MORALS we have done the
natives no harm, and to some we have
done great good. Instead of permitting
their incurabIes to spread disease
among their own people, and more
rapidly destroy the race, effective
measures should be taken to prevent
it.
We must before long face the ques-
ton of aims houses for the natives at
least. We cannot escape it. The first
stem. however, should be in preventing
the spread of disease. The recOmmen-
dations of the Trustees of the Queens
HOSPITAL seem to be reasonable and
practicable.
