on GovernOrShip Income.

Mr.. C. j. Hutchins, the insurance
man residing here, tells this account of
a recent interview with Ii Hung
Chang, the great Chinese statesman.
During the conversation, the matter of
the Hawaiian Islands was discussed
The great Chinaman asked: who IS
king now" The reply was, there is
no king. Mr. Dole is President of the
Republic, but it is annexed to the
United States Tell me about Dole,
said the Chinaman. Mr.. Hutchins de
scribed his physical appearance, his
height, his beard. How much salary
does he get ?" The amount was stated
''Wil he be governor" mo one can
tell" was the reply, sit depends upon
President Mckinley" ''How much 90
governors get?" asked the statesman.
In some territories they pay only
$4,000 a year. was the reply. The
statesman laughed. 'Onl| $500 a
year," he exclaimed, why that amount

Petition on immigration

Appeal 10 the Lawmakers ar Washington.

ASiaticS.

Following is the petition that has
been about town several weeks and
that has now about 120 signatures. 1t
is said to be fathered by DR.. w. S.
Noblitt, who has lately been writing
letters 10 the press on H. P. Baldwin's
statement that the planters did not ask
for continuance of the contract labor
system:
Honolulu, H. l., Nov. p, 1898.
To the United States Senate and
House of Representative in Con
greSs Assembled:
Whereas, There are approximately
$4,000 Asiatics and 1000 Americans in
these Islands, and,
Whereas, This great disparity in the
races has been brought about through
the law permitting the Importation CT
contract laborers, and,
Whereas, Americans can do, without
impairment of their health, all work
on Hawaiian sugar plantations, and,
Whereas, Approximately 5000 con-
tract laborers have been landed in
these Islands since the American Flag
was raised over them on August II,
last, and
Whereas. The Government of the
lSIduuS IldS pei Tic i.AIioi
of 1000 more contract labOrers, TO be
landed before the end of the first
quarter of 1899, and,
Whereas, Every imported alien lab
orer prevents the immigration to these
Islands OF an American laborer and his
family, and
Whereas, The contract labor system
in force by criminal procedure and i'm
prisonment at hard labor, is closely
akin in principle and often in the
brutality with which it is enforced by
the plantations, to human slavery,
Therefore, We, the undersigned
American citizens permanently resid-
ing or temporarily sojOurning in the
Hawaiian Islands, do hereby petition
your honorable body to
First, Extend to these Islands at the
earliest possible moment the United
States immigration laws,
Second, Disallow and annul the con-
tract and arrangements of the present
Hawaiian Government for the importa-
ton of the before mentioned 1000 con-
tract laborers, provided this can be
done without violating the constitu-
ton or treaties of the United States.
Third Abolish criminal procedure
and criminal punishment to enforce
the performance of labor contracts.

1t is so seldom there is any appeal
from st. Andrews to this very charit-
able community, that the mere mention
that the guild is in need of funds to
carry on its good work, will appeal to
all who are called upon to purchase
tickets for the entertainment.
4 fine program will be presented
particulars of which will be announced
later. Tickets will be 80 and p cents
and may be obtained of Mrs. Mackin-
