MIR. CoRMAN's RETIREMENT,

The Washington correspondent Of the
New. York Herald, whose reports are
usually reliable in speaking Of the resig-
nation OF Senator German as chairman
of the Democratic caucus, says that
There has not been complete harmony on
the Democratic side Of the chamber for
some time and that Senator German
whose authority on partisan matters was
for years practically undisputed, has
been unable TO shape party policies, that
the majority OF the men on his side OF
the chamber. following the career upon
which the party embarked I'm the chi
caeo convention Of 1896 have been too
radical for him. And, the correspondent
continues:
The parting Of the ways came when
the Turpie amendment 10 the CUBAN re-
solution was before the Senate. Senator
German was strongly opposed 70 lne Ie-
cognition of the so-called Republic ID
Cuba. He and some other Democrats
could not vote for the Turpie amend
ment Even then much friction would
have been avoided had not William Jen-
uings BRYAN. the defeated candidate Tor
tbe presidency. come TO Washington ana
insisted on making the question OF recos-
milton of the Republic of cuba party
issue. speaking i'm favor OF II, ana call
ing out senators in the marble room ana
insisting that ,they should vote Tor the
amendment
Though Mr.. Bailey succeeded reasona-
bIy well in putting the Democratic party
in the House I'm the position or being Will
ing. for q supposed partisan adNahtage
10 cripple the government IN the mldS'
of a foreign war, this policy did not sue
coed in the Senate. where with the heip
Of the Populists and Silver RepuDlcahs'
IL might have been carried out.
Senator German, with quite "a suDstah-
tial Democratic following. has set his
face souarely against doing anything Tor
mere partisan advantage which would m
any way hamper the government In Wig
orouslv carving on the war TO suc-
cessful termination. He ana az least
eight other Democratic senator's Wlil vote
10 empower the government 10 borrow
money for war purposes.
We have not been among Senator Cor,
mans admirers. We hdve not approved
of some Of his political methods, but if
his reasons for resigning are correctly
stated in the above, we say without re-
servation that Senator German has earn
cd and is fairly entitled TO the respect
Of every patriotic citizen in this country
No one has ever doubted Mr.. German
party regularity" He stood by the
party in 1896, although opposed TO it;
financial policy, but IL appears that there
was a limit 10 his forbearance, and when
at a time like this, the members Of his
party in Congress proposed for partisan
advantage to hamper the administration
in its prosecution OF the war, Mr.. Gormar
is compelled in self-respect 10 retire. w
honor him for tho step that he has taker
and the rebuke which he has thus ad
rninistered to the extreme men Of th'
Chicago party is The severest, perhaps
which is to say a great deal, that tins
party has yet received.

AN OPEN LETTER
To the President of the United States
of America.

Mr. President:-The Christian people Of
America and Of Great Britain greet you
in the name of our common Master on
Sunday, May ]. 1895 with love and 10y
atty, but also with a warning and with a
prayer.
The American Congress have mistaken
the applause OF the galleries for the
voice OF the will OF the American peo-
pie. The Spanish war is a political, but
not popular war Therefore IL must be
fought with mercenaries, and not with
volunteers whose motive is self-sacrihce.
The floating population Of the world
affords millions Of the best soldiers Tor
hire-more than sufficient TO fight all po-
litical wars.
America viii need all her home-born
citizens In the near future to preserve
republican institutions and Anglo-Saxon
civilization.
4 British poet. Keble, has sent us this
warning across the sea.

Tyre of the farthest West! be thou, too

Whose eagles wings thine own green
world oer-spread

thou scorned
Thy fathers God. OIL proud and fll OF

While in mid-air the stars and arrows
Haunt?

days that had passed.
In 1887, he made a splendid fight
for a seat in the Legislature, but was
defeated by small vote. In 1890, be
was elected a member Of the Legisla
ture by the National Reform Party,
and helped in ousting the Thurston
Cabinet. Since 1893 he took very
little active interest in politics, al.
though to the end he was as loyal a
patriot to the Hawaiian cause as any
OF his fellow citizens. He enjoyed
the respect Of all parties and at the
urgent request Of the Dole Govern
ment he accepted temporarily the
Office of Circuit Judge for Hawaii, +,
which had become vacant upon the
death of Justice Austin. During
his short incumbency in that Office
he gained the confidence and ad-
miration of the people OF the big
island, who did all 10 their power to
induce him to retain the important
position. During the past year the
deceased was a sick man, but it was
the hope of his friends, that his
former robust constitution and his
youth would carry him through the
illness, from which beN suff red.

ANTOINE ROSA.

In the death of Antoine Rosa, Ha-
wsii nei has lost son, who beyond
comparison was the brightest and
most brilliant OF the native Hawai-
ians.
Had he been born in one OF the
great countries Of the world, his
energy and brain would have push-
ed him to the front rank among his
fellow citizens.
Born uudsr comparatively hum
BILE circumstances, through the
union OF Portuguese father and
Hawaiian mother, he received dur
ing his carly years the ordinary edu
cation provided in our government
schools, but his brightness soon
made him a special pet of the Rev.
Alex. Macintosh, the principal of
the Royal School where Antoine
Rosa received his first lessons.
After leaving school, still young
boy, he entered the law Office of the
late Justice Harris, who took a
special interest in the boy aud gave
to him the foundation in the lore
OF law, which in future days made
Rosa one of the brightest barristers
in Hawaii.
Later on he was appointed clerk
of the Supreme Court, and when
the late Mr.. Preston was Attorney
General, Rosa was appointed his
chief clerk.
The deceased always claimed that
the success of his career as a lawyer
was due to his having held import
ant positions in the Offices connect
ed with the judiciary department.
During that period he was an
ardent student OF law, and although
he never attended any law school,
he was far brighter and we'll post
ed jurist than many of the men
from colleges and universities, who
have practised.in our courts.
A brilliant orator in the English
and Hawaiian languages he made a
deep impression on every jury before
whom he pleaded cause. Through
his wonderful eloquence he secured
the scquittal OF several men on their
trials for life, where all the evidence
was against the defendants. As a
political orator he was unexcelled,
and those present in 1887, when he
publicly addressed the people from
the old armory (the Brewer build
ing) will never forget the magnetic
influence OF his words in behalf of
his countrymen.
When he accepted the portofolio
as Attorney General from Kalakaua
his true friends felt sorry that he
should throw away his promising
career as an attorney to enter the
Palace and join the glittering court
Of his monarch. The anticipations
Of his friends came too true, and in
the place of the earnest iurist the
,lever attorney, and the studious
young Hawaiian, they found
the dazzling chamberlain, ad-
iutant general, governor, and
the holder of all the great Of
fees which the King showered on
Rosa.

Should labor for the cultivation of
these rice fields be prohibited from
coming here by the United States
laws, these lands reclaimed by the
arduous labor of Chinese from waste
swamp and morass would be liable
to return to their former barrenness
and not only commercial interests
and the food supply would be pre-
judicially affected but the Govern
ment would lose a considerable
amount in its revenues.
The Independent., 1898-09-09

As nearly as can be ascertained
there are about 10000 acres culti-
vated in rice yielding an ave rage
rental OF twenty dollars year, and
raising about 10000 tons of the value
of about 100000. OF this quantity
about 5000 tons are annually ex-
ported and the balance retained for
home consumption.

THE RICE INDUSTRY.

There is Hawaiian industry, Sec
ond only to that of sugar, which
may be almost annihilated unless
some provision is made in our new
organic law for it's protection by
permitting the eutry Of Chinese la
DOR for its cultivation; for it's pro.
duction has been, is, and apparently
must be almost exclusively in the
hands of the Chinese, for so far as
we can learn by careful enquiry
neither the Hawaiian, Portuguese
nor Japanese are successful in
raising rice.
The Independent., 1898-09-09

This industry, in its employment
OF Chinese exclusively, in no way
initiates against the labor interests
OF whites or Hawaiians or any Am
erican or Hawaiian industry, but, on
the other hand it's practical destruc-
tion will deprive large number of
persons, other than Chinese, Of
emoluments, labor and benefits
without providing an adequate COM
pensation, and the only result at
tanned will be to pander to a
purely sentimental theory at the cost
Of an amount equal to one half our
national debt.
The Independent., 1898-09-09

The profits OF these rice fields go
not alone to the Asiatic cultivat ors,
but are widely distributed among all
classes and nationalities, but prin-
cipally among the white men and
Hawaiians in rents OF leased lands,
insurance, commissions, freights,
carriage and in many other way.
