THE RESEARCH CLUB.
Interesting Discussions on the Racial
Problem.


The Young Mems Research Club
met at Rev. D. p. Birnie's residence
last evening and passed a very pleas
ant time in the discussion OF racial
problems
Such a club as this ia extremely
beneficial to a community and, as
with the Waverlsy Club, should be
made permanent institution.
1t is our bright, thoughtful and
educated young men who become
the future mainstays and Legislators
OF the country, and it is by such de-
bates as those of last evening that
they are prepared for the duties
which should be assumed by every
healthy and honest minded citizen,
From the p. G. Advertisers report
of the seance we take the following
thoughts from Prof. j. T. Crawley's
address for they are we'll worthy OF
bordering over, although some Of
his views will, naturally, not meet
with general acceptance.
"The brief history Of attempts at
settlement within the tropics might
be summarized as follows:
Mercantile establishment for the
purpose of trading with the natives
military occupation and annex
alton to the mother country.
"Subjugstion of the native popu-
lation and practical enslsvement Of
them or determination OF the natives
and introduction either of negro
slaves or coolie contract Japanese,
Chinese or japanese labor.
"Insurrection OF the laboring
classes, with the decline Of agricul-
ture.
"1n mono Of the tropical countries
thus mentioned do we find educa-
tion so essential to Anglo-Saxon
success, promoted to any great de-
gree, and in none, do those arts and
sciences that work for the best
development of the people flourish
to any encouraging degree.
"Can Hawaii furnish an example
different in kind from these?
"Should Hawaii be annexed to the
United States and immigration Of
coolie labor cease, l believe that a
Republican form of Government
with the predominance of whites
will be assured. But should this
fail to accomplishment and Chinese
and Japanese immigration continue
unchecked, white Government could
be maintained only by the sword
and our Anglo. Saxon Island Repub-
lie would be military occupation.
Should America withhold her favor
in the shape Of reciprocity treaties,
the price Of sugar will absolutely
necessitate cheap labor-cheaper
wages than the Americans will work
for oven were the climatic conditions
favorable. This labor must be
brought from China, Japan and
India or from some country where
the standard Of life is lower than in
America and England. The Gov
eminent may still be, and probably
will be, administered by whites, but
it is very easy to see not with the
full consent OF the governed"
