The enormous Importance of the la
Dor question no one appreciates more
thoroughly than The Star. But such
questions are better faced and made
an issue. than treated as something
which can he handed as "A legacy to
the future. 1t is in no spirit of dog
matism that certain suggestions have
been made. They are tentative, as the
whole action of the American Union
Party is tentative. But, let us argue
the question now. not hereafter.
The reception of European repre-
sentatives by the Emperor of China
has never been satisfactory. The Chi
nese Court etiquette has ever sought
to put these representatives on low
er footing than they ought to occupy.
There have been many struggles over
this, but even to the present day ,Eu-
ropean and American representatives
are not received within the walls of
the palace. 1t is satisfactory therefore
to note that the United Diplomatic
Corps has recently given the descend
ent of the sun and moon a snub. The
whole of the Foreign Representatives
declined to attend the usual New Year
audience on the ground that the date
fixed was too long after New Years
day to be any honor. OF course it had
been so fixed to show to Chinese eyes
in how little estimation the Foreign
Representatives were held.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-03-16
LABOR.

The action of the Central Commit
tee of the American Union Party with
regard to labor must be regarded as
tentative rather than final. Among
mittee there are wide divergences Of
opinion. The matter is one of vast
Importance and will receive the most
thorough and careful consideration in
the House. 1t is not Il question which
can be settled in half hour debate,
and it is a question upon which much
light can be cast by those who are
outside the House.
That there is strong opposition to
making any change in the labor laws
is perfectly true. There always will
be strong opposition to radical change
but the labor question is one which
we must fact, and it is better to face
it is to lay it on the shelf and say
some day we will attend to it, but say
nothing more about it now.
There is no doubt that to the minds
of some of our planters and managers
the penal clause in our laor contracts
is Objectionable, but they see no 9th
er means of keeping their labor in
proper discipline, and yet we know
that on several plantations there are
no shipped men, and the laborers are
free to come and go as they like, and
