luton of the labor question. Then
something else must be sought.
No one in any way wishes to injure
or cripple the planting interest, it is
upon that that we live. 1t is the back
bone industry of the country, and it
is surplus money from the planting
interest that has helped forward many
of the other enterprises in the coun-
try. But in some way the labor ques-
ton has to be met, and it has to be
discussed calmly and fairly without
heat. Those who are against the pc
nal clause are men who have the in
terests of the country at heart, they
are not men who wish to be rash in
anything that they undertake. The
mere fact that the question has been
thoroughly ventilated will be produc-
tive of good. Whoever can solve the
problem of the introduction of labor
without injuring the planter and yet
doing away with the penal clause, will
have done something that will make
him deserve well of his country.

LABOR.

A committee, representing the plan
ting interests of the Islands met
committee of the House yesterday af
ternoon. The subject under discus
sion was the penal clause in the labor
contracts. These gentlemen were
united in their opinion that to abolish
the penal clause would do great injury
to our main industry. Their position
is that if we get annexation the penal
clause and contract labor goes any
how, but that till that event happens
in the law.
One of the committee stated that he
was in favor of free labor and hoped
for the time when all the labor would
be free, but this should come about
by gradual means and not by a rapid
change. 1t was pointed out that were
there a large labor market in the Is
lands themselves, there would be no
need of contracts, but the labor used
has to be brought from distance, at
great expense, and the planter who
had to pay cash down for the intro
duction of his labor. must be protect
ed. In this of course there is a great
deal of truth.
There is no doubt that the govern
ment of the Islands should devote
considerable attention to importing a
class of people who are prolific and
will produce laboring class of peo-
pie. This was Colonel Fishers argu-
ment at the meeting last Sunday.
Whatever we may have to do at pres
ent, we ought to look forward to a
healthy future.
The question of cooperation was
discussed. Such plan had been sue
cessful at Eva and was being adopted
in many other places, but it can only
be used where there is an abundance
of water. At Ookala for instance it
would be impossible to carry this out,
because the water supply is there I'M

rather than hold on. There is force
in this argument. That is that plan
tations with abundant water supply
can use the system of cooperation
successfully, while those with a linn
tied water supply cannot. This shows
that the cooperative system, though
a good one, only affords partial So

The report of the Minister of Edu-
cation states that the course of stu
dy laid down for the High School
''marks distinctly the fact that this
institution cannot be made in any
proper sense the head of our common,

the position of the present High
School is singularly anomalous and

AMENDMENTS.

Representative Achi's amendment to
Article 81 of the Constitution was not
discussed yesterday, and consequent
Nv the House attended strictly to bus
mess, INDUCED in flights of rhetoric,
addressed to the gallery and distant
constituents, and passed some bills.
while number were advanced so that
they can be passed in day or two.
The amendment proposed might at
some future period be necessary, it is
not so now. The Star is unalterably
opposed to making changes in the
Constitution at the present time, un-
less they are absolutely necessary.
The amendment passed at the session
of the Legislature of 1896, which the
authorities failed to advertise proper
ly, has come up again, and is nee
essary one. BY the wording of the ar
ticle in the Constitution every section
of any acts that are amended must APP
pear in the title of the amended bill,
the consequence being that the titles
of bills are extremely clumsy, and not
only that but should some obscure
little law or section of a law in the
dim past have been omitted in the til
tie. the new law would be unconsti-
tutional and of no effect, however eN-
cellent the new law might be. This,
therefore, is a necessary change. How
the paragraph which is to be dropped,
crept into the constitution, no one in
the Constitutional Convention seems
to know. 1t was not noticed till it
began to cause trouble with the bills.
But to make a change as necessary
as this is one thing: all are agreed
upon it. To make the change Represen-
tative Achi proposes is quite another.
His plan is to increase the number of
Representatives. As has been said,
this may be Il good thing in time,
but it is not necessary now. When
the annexation question is settled for
good and all. then we shall have to
face large number of questions. At
present it is utterly unwise to make
any change.

MUST BE FIRE PROOF.
Buildings for the Insane Asylum Must
be Safe.

The Board of Health has put itself
on record as opposed to wooden
buildings for the Insane Asylum. The
danger of fire in such construction.
and the almost certain terrible loss of
life among insane patients if fire oc-
ours. are the reasons for the stand.
For these reasons the Board at its
meeting yesterday did not accept the
Senate Sanitary Committees plan for
200 room wooden structure to cost
100000, but determined to ask for
$500 for fire proof brick or stone
structure, planned so that it can be
enlarged to meet the growing needs
of the institution.
There are now 112 patients, with
rooms for only 9S. Space for 60 more is
wanted during the ensuing period.
The tenders of the Hawaiian Elec-
trio Company, Limited, to place a
lighting and power plant in the Asy-
lum, at a cost of $4,000, was approved.
Light throughout the night is neces-
sity at the Asylum.

because the policy Of the President to
terminate the cruel and bloody war
now being waged upon that unhappy
island is clearly and unmistakabiy
outlined. He seemed to have been
impressed with the seriousness ana
solemnities in engaging IN a war Wild
sister nation, and his utterances
show a cool, calculating and calm re-
view Of the entire situation, even the
effect of the interference OF the
United States upon other nations
was given mature and due con-
sideration, and from this review
the policy of this Government was
fixed and definitely settled, which is,
that "m the name Of human

This is strong and emphatic language
which has the true ring of sincerity
and determination about it and had
he declared for the recognition OF the
independence of Cuba there would
not have been a single discordant
note heard in the grand chorus OF
praise which have gone from the peo-
pie of this great American nation for
his manly, patriotic and statesmanllke
position. Contrast the calm dignity
of the President, with the weight OF
a great responsibility resting upon
him, and the members Of the House
of Representatives, who, having just
short while before, passed resolu-
tions involving this country in war,
made the air hidious by singing ribald
songs, forgetful of the horrors of the
war that they helped to precipitate.
The contrast brings out the true pa
triot and statesman in bold relief.

ancy for several days preceding tie

bonds Of holy wedlock, Nj. Julian

dence CT the brides father, Mr.. Jesse

two were TO be made one, the house
was crowded to its utmost capacity,
with a brilliant assemblage Of friends
and relatives. Every thing bad beeb
specially and tastefully arranged Tor
this happy occasion. When the
hour arrived the pallor was entered,
Mr.. Peter Shumpert with Miss Alice
Fulmer, Mr.. Benpie Harmon With
Miss Nina Henry, followed by the
bridal couple. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Jacob Wyke,
pastor of the bride. The bride was
dressed in white silk, trimmed 10
lace and ribbon, and although
BEAUTIFUL at all times was surprisingly
50 on this occasion. The brides
maids were elegantly dressed, and
more beautiful set Of maidens and
groomsmen were never seen in Lex
iogton. After many congratulations
and good wishes were bestowed upon
the happy couple, we all went forth
to the sumptuous wedding feast. 1t
is sufficient to say finer supper was
never before prepared. [ want to
make special mention Of the bridal
cake, for it was certainly beautiful,
and its beauty was due to Miss Net

was made perfectly lovely. The
bridal presents were both useful and
beautiful. Mr.. Harmon is one o.
Saluda's most popular and genial
gentleman. His fair bride is one Of
Lexington charming ladies. While
parting with her with regret, we feel
that Lexington's loss is Sa!uda $

friends in wishing them happy and
prosperous life's voyage.
