PUSH IMMIGRATION.

The 5. f. Chronicle urges that for
the general good of Hawaii, laws
should be passed discriminating
| against Asiatic laborers and in favor
of the kind OF labor generally employ
ed in the States.
As it becomes more probable every
day, that Cuba and the Philippines
will in some way finally get American
protection for their sugar interests, the
question Of cheap Asiatic labor will be
forced on Congress not only by the
labor unions, but by the farmers. The
sugar beet men are quite strong
enough to command a large influence
in Congress. The statements made in
the Chronicle regarding the enormous
dividends paid by our plantations, out
OF the profits of Asiatic labor, will nat
urally stimulate a sentiment that we
are getting too much Of good thing
out of the industry.
The political situation here has ma
terially changed. There is no longer
need of any concessions to Hawaii in
order TO keep her within the sphere
of American influence. The great
Powers of Europe are no longer sitting
like cruel buzzards on adjoining
fences, restrained only from bouncing
down on the little Hawaiian chicken by
Uncle Sans presence and severe look.
All this business is closed. The ISL
ands are American territory, and may
get little more, II any, paternal treat
ment from the Federal Government
than New Mexico or Alaska. The
prosperity here Of the individual is of
no more consequence to the Federal
Government than the prosperity of any
other small community In the Union.
These Islands have been annexed by
reason OF their geographical position.
The great moral worth of our citizens
counted for nothing in the transfer.
II was territory, not men, that was
wanted.
Under these circumstances It is OBJ
yious enough that Congress may not
hesitate, II 1t can be done lawfully, to
strike at Asiatic labor here. II will

urge 1t. To govern large colonies like
Cuba and the Philippines, in such a
manner as to protect" American labor

DISORDERLY SOLDIERS.

The old kamaainas, resident here
fifty years ago, will recall, after walk
ing through our streets at night, the
visits of the whale ships, and the
scenes displayed by several thousands
sailors while on liberty. With unlimit-
ed freedom in obtaining liquor they
painted the town in gorgeous crimsons,
and exhibited to the "unsuspecting ma
tives," the hard features of our boosted
civilization.
Since the arrival OF the troops, there
have been many exhibitions Of the
same crimson nature. But it is only
correct to say, that they have been, so
far OF a milder type and far less ag-
gravating.
In the tram cars there have been
several outrageous offenses against de-
cency. Drunken men enter the cars,
and humiliate the army by their con-
duct. On Saturday last, in one of the
cars, n drunken soldier used obscene
language in the hearing of several
ladies.
| II may be said that the conductor is
authorized to eject such offenders. II
Is impracticable to do so. The often
der will resist and his companions to
some extent will aid him. 1t is true
that other soldiers using the cars are
ashamed Of the conduct of these often
ders, and would gladly see them ex-
PEELED. But they will hardly volun-
teer to keep order. The conduct of the
vast majority of the men Is admirable,
and shows the orderly and refined in
stinct of the American. One cannot
look into their faces without pride at
the fine body of men who carry the
guns.
As a simple and practical way OF pre-
venting these offenses, the Command
ant might detail every day certain
number Of men to do guard duty on the
cars. The duties would be light and
order would be maintained.
1t Is to be much regretted that few
men should bring disgrace on large
body of noble fellows.
We would not check the liberty of
the men for an instant. But arrange
ment should be made so that quick and
sharp justice should be done to the
transgressors. We can put up with
noise. That is a contribution to the
war. But We ought not to suffer from
useless and senseless disturbances that
decent soldiers regret.

CURIOUS CUSTOMS.

Another piece of evidence on the
power and grip of the racial habit. is
the customs prevailing in many parts
of Pennsylvania regarding funerals.
They are observed by the descendants
of the Germans who largely settled the
eastern and middle part of the State.
During funeral services In church,
the men wear their hats. No unity of
fashion in the hat is observed But
1t is worn, whatever its shape and
color may be. The custom also of fur
nishing a heavy lunch of cold meats,
with liquor at the home of the de
ceased, after the funeral is strictly OBJ
served. In spite Of the notifications
of customs in nearly every part of the
country, due to education, reading and
travel, a large class OF these conserva-
tive Germans or "Dutchmen" AS they
are called refuse to abandon their fun
eral program. The majority of these
people are not intellectually bright,
and inherit stolid conservatism.
They buy few books, know little about
their own country, and have small
public spirit. They present an extra
ordinary example of Contentment
Their wants are few, They live well,
and drive fine horses. They let well
enough alone. Some of their young
men drift away into the outer world.
The mass of these Dutchmen are
Lutherans in religion, but even the
most deeply religious will not refuse
whiskey at a funeral. The ideas upon
which these customs are based are in
herited and so far cannot be changed.

CULLOM AND HIT.

The Earnest Patriots are most re-
spectacle citizens, and are as sincere
and honest in their views as any class
OF men in the community. But they
have rather 0verworked their patriot
ism in their efforts to take care Of the
rest OF their fellow men in these parts.
II appears from the interviews with
Senator Cullom and Mr.. Hit published
in the San Francisco papers that those
eminent Republicans and statesmen,
after looking over the political situa-
ton here, do not agree with our E.
P.'s, regarding the incapacity and poll
teal depravity of the members of Mr..
Dole's government. In his interview,
Mr.. Hit said
"The Government runs everything,
from its foreign relations to its city
band, and one matter that has impress
ed me most profoundly Is that there Is
no scandal, no complaint of malad-
minlstration. The people of Hawaii
still justify the expression OF Minister
Willis that they, 1.-THE members Of the
GOVERNMENT are men of the highest
integrity and public spirit"
We'll, may the Earnest Patriots say
to Mr.. Hit, you stupid bad man.
Why did you spend your time talking
with the missionaries about local poll
tics, when we were waiting for you
day after day in the Tailor Shop, ready
and anxious to give you the painful
truth? What right have you to make
such reckless statements? Did you not
| have eyes to see that We had driven
the Dole herd into corral, had thrown
it down, and branded each one of them
~. CT Now. II we find out that you
repeat the substance of this ridiculous
interview to President Mckinley, SO
| far as 1t relates to those official back
numbers, we give you fair warning
that We shall, If ever made citizens OF
the United States, cast the solid vote
OF our party, 500 strong, against you
In your dire distress in the next Presi.
Dental campaign, don't call on us &c
help you out. May God have mercy
on your miserable soul"
| Mr.. Hit has boldly made these
statements with copy OF our contem-
| porary the Bulletin before him In
which il is stated that Mr.. Dole hat
lost the support Of his friends because
he did not Remember the Maine
sufficiently and he had also copy o.
our contemporary the Star in his lap
intimating that the same Dole hat
paid for the repair of a coat sleeve on
OF public moneys, while on his OH
cial trip to Washington.
The very worst of it is that thes
two good Republicans. Cullom an
Hit, are members of Congress, an,
being badly taken with the cholert
OF admiration for the Dole Govern
ment, will wickedly spread the fata
disease in Washington.

is one Of the puzzling questions before
Congress-.
The wisest course to be pursued here
is to settle at once the practicability
Of Introducing American labor upon
the plantations. 1t is the business of
the planters to do 1t most effectively.
The conditions may be such however
as to make the scheme failure. 1t is
quite possible that the Asiatic tree
fiourishes SO well here, and has taken
such deep root, that the American lab
orer cannot live under its branches or
in its shadow. But an earnest trial
should be made.
The Government has at its disposal
the sum of $4,000 for the encourage
ment of immigration. Is there any
reason why a most vigorous effort
should not be made to establish sew
eral small colonies of American farm
ers on the plantations? Although
America will absorb for many years
to come the surplus labor of Europe.
the very small amount needed to main
tain our plantations can be drawn from
the Mainland. II an heroic effort is
made to do it. During the hard times
of '95 vigorous effort on our part
would have brought here a large num-
Der of the most respectable farmers OF
Oregon and Washington. The Govern
ment and the planters took no action
Now these men are not so willing to
emigrate. A magnificent opportunity
was lost. Securing a class of Ameri-
can farmers of the right stamp is q
most serious undertaking. Unless
managed with great discrimination and
care, 1t will, IL undertaken, be a ridi-
cuous failure.
The Government has the money for
trying the experiment. Congression-
al legislation may within a year pre-
vent any further expenditure of pub
lie money in that direction. The OPP
portunty should not be lost.

1t should be understood that the Do

thing that while most vigorous cam

election day had fair weather, the vote
ON prohibition was small. The result
was so nearly a balance that II Is

BISMARCK AND EUGENE.

One OF the unsubstantial theories and
vain beliefs of men and women Is that
persons in high positions, or the pos
SCISSORS of large wealth, derive extra
ordinary pleasures from their great OPP
portunities. Though they are repeated
Iy told by those who command these
great opportunities, that they give lit
tie pleasure, and bring corresponding
burdens and anxiety, people refuse to
believe that II is the truth, and fret
themselves at what they consider their
own lack of opportunities,

Of the nineteenth century.
Bismarck wrote the following words

The court voyage of the steamer City
of Columbia seems to be approaching
sort of change of route stage.
The island OF Maui is having such a
term of industrial advancement that a
newspaper to tell about 1t Will soon
be necessary.
Gen. Gomez Is to be President of
the retiring Cuban Government OF
Cuba. This will probably be good
job while 1t lasts.
The action OF the coffee growers OF
Olaa in placing valuation on their
lands should be OF no little assistance
to the overworked tax assessor.
In mass meeting here some day that
frowning fence about the Executive
building and the beautiful grounds will
be declared a common nuisance.

city which thoughtful men who know
the world well crave for most eagerly
His thunder bolt shattered France
soon after these words were written.
BY the side of these sentiments utter
ed by great man place the words of q
conspicuous woman.
Two years before Bismarck destroy
ed Empire, the opening Of the Suez can
al took place. The navies Of the world,
on the invitation of the French En-
peror, gathered at the mouth Of the
Nile TO celebrate the event. The En-
press Eugene, owing to the necessary
absence of the Emperor, represented
the French nation, and received the
homage of all civilized nations. The
spendor of the earth was laid at her
feet. II any woman should be the OBJ
ject of envy, 1t was she upon whom
all eyes were fixed, not only by reason
of her position as the Empress of the
French, but by reason of the admira-
ton which her presence and extraordi-
nary beauty commanded.
What did she think of It all? After
she deserted the Tuilleries for exile
two years later, and the palace had
been sacked by the revolutionists her
letters to the Emperor were stolen.
Among them was one which in the
force of its expression, and the nobility
of its sentiments should rank as one
of the most remarkable ever written
by Queen. The following are eX-
tracts from 1t:

DIR. MAXWELL AND SIR WILLIAM
CROOkES.

Sir William CrooRes, the President
of the British Association for the ad-
yancement of science, recently deliver
ed before that body his presidential ad-
dress, in which he made the startling
announcement that by the year 1881,
the world would reach the limit of its
food supply, unless the chemists could
devise some means for making the land
more productive. He calculates the
area OF land under grain cultivation,
the yield per acre, the number Of people
who are now fed and those that must
be led during the next thirty years, and
concludes that the world must face
starvation within thirty years. The
statements of so eminent a man at
tract the attention of political econo-
mists in all countries.
Sir William has, during past years,
devoted much time to the investigation
of Spiritualism, and was the unrelent-
ing enemy of Madame Blavatsky. He
was not able to find any well anthem
ticated ghosts, and in spite of well
baited traps never caught one.
In making this startling announce
ment in regard to food supply, he re-
sembles Prof Jevons, who thirty years
ago, caused some uneasiness by declar-
ing that in a short time, the coal sup
ply would be exhausted. He also re-
sembles the theorist Nautilus who
frightened the British public fifty
years ago by stating that the world
would soon be over populated. This
led to strong public sentiment against
large families, especially among the
poor.
DIR. Walter Maxwell replies to Sir
William Crookes in letter published
in the Daily News Uondon) and quite
sharply and justly criticises the state
ments made. The n. Y. Times, in its
editorial columns, says:
at Is a somewhat curious fact that
the most careful, detailed and convinc-
ing of all the replies which Sir Will
Jams address has elected comes from
one Of our new possessions in the Pa
cific. DR.. Walter Maxwell, director
and chief chemist of the experimental
station and laboratories of Ha-
wall, has prepared long article In
which, In effect, he intimates that the
president OF the British Association
may know a good deal about appari-
tons but he has lots and lots to learn
about nitrogen and agricultural chem
istry In general"
We accept with pride this tribute TO
our fellow townsman.
Sir William claims that the stock of
nitrogen for plant food Is rapidly fail
discovery Of a new supply, We must in
evitably starve to death. DR.. MaXwel's
reply, in brief. is that we have hardly
touched the reserved stores of nitrogen,
and that the statement of facts made
by Sir William are grossly incorrect
and he points out where an abundant
supply may be obtained, before resort
is made to extracting nitrogen from
the air itself DIR. MaXwell's statemen
is clear and convincing. 1t will check
the growth of alarm about coming
starvation. II any persons here are
disposed TO bury loaves Of bread in the
basin of Punchbowl, in order TO fore
stall this possible famine, let them
read Dr. Maxwell's paper and continue
their usual excuses in the consumption
of food.
