THE STIGMA OF THE UNIFORM

The reflections OF Mr.. Coffin. Com
pany b, First New York Volunteers,
published in the Hawaii Herald OF
Hllo, on the strained relations OF the
regiment with the people of this city,
are the talk Of an unthinking and ig-
norant kid. 1t does not represent the
opinion of the better class of men in
the regiment. His comments on the
people Of Honolulu, where" he says.
Uncle Sans uniform is regarded as a
stigma" would, if uttered before the
boys in Manila, who visited us en-
route, have provoked drum head
court martial by men who are grateful
and would be indignant on hearing
such stuff
So we shall not feel sore in the least,
and candidly assure the men of this
regiment that we only smile at the i'll
nature of this really inoffensive liter
airy kid. Sensible men of the regiment
are apologizing for the petty talk of
their comrades. They need not have
any anxiety in the matter Our people
are well able to discriminate between
the gentlemen of the regiment and
those who put a stigma on the Amer
lean uniform by disgraceful conduct in
public and in private too. II was to be
expected that if body of one thou
sand men remained here for any length
Of time, the cads would make themsel-
yes manifest.
But we shall not keep the cads in
memory. The good and noble fellows
TO their friends at home, that they are
good and true men, will stand to us as
the type of the regiment. That is
quite enough.

ASSISTED LABOR.

The petition of the planters present
ed to the American Commissioners
while in session here, asking that the
laws of the United States be modified
so as to allow contract laporers to en-
ter these Islands was misunderstood
on the mainland. and has provoked
some angry talk.
AS Mr. II. p. Baldwin explained it in
the planters meeting, on Monday, the
planters did not refer to our penal con-
tract, but co contracts free from the
penal liability. Their purpose was to
secure the needed laborers by con-
tracing simply to assist them, but
without bringing them under the penal
laws.
The request, however, was unfor-
tunate, impolitic, and calculated to inn
press the minds of intelligent politi-
clans On the mainland that we were
quite ignorant Of the workings of Am
erican institutions. The request that the
United States would suspend what was
called moral legislation for the benefit
of the whole country, in order to help
a few hundred people here out of a
scrape, seemed to indicate that we did
not understand the drift of legislation,
or the ideas of the people.
The country has put it's foot down on
assisting emigrants where labor in
payment for assistance is involved. It's
laws are specific and far-reaching.
They were passed in accordance with
q settled policy. When a few men look
ing only to their own interests, and
putting aside the general interests of
the country, ask for a suspension of
immigrants will be assisted by the
planters, unless they will agree to pay
for the assistance with labor, without
any reference to the penal conditions.
It is Just this contract that the law for
bids.
If our planters were struggling on
the verge of bankruptcy, their request
would be excused on the ground that
it was made by men who had lost their
heads in their dire distress. But the
leading politicians know that, COM
paratively, these Islands have a larger
income from the profit of labor than
any community of the same numbers
in the country. The request was i'll
advised, and we shall hear from it in
the coming session Of Congress.
1t is a pity that the labor question
has been, theoretically, with the plan
tiers, very serious one, but practi-
calIy a remote question: fence that
must sometime be jumped, but at such
a distance in the future, that it was
not worth while to rein up, and sit
firmly for the spring.
The new plantations are opened with
a rash gambling on the labor supply.
If the entire sugar interest were under
the control of one corporation, it would
hesitate to complicate the difficulties
by extending operations. The existence
of so many independent interests pre-
vents harmony or cooperation, and
presents the spectacle of a scrub race
for the labor stakes.

A Western religious journal, with
Populist association, declares that the
recent wrecking of the room of the SUI
preme Court of the United States in
the Capitol, by fire, was an act of spe-
cial Providence, because the court de-
clared the income tax to be unconstitu-
fional. This way of Furnishing the

stand point, certainly not very digni-
fed. But thousands of the Populists
