ako and the Sea, and takes no pre-
ventivs measures then its officers
aud members are culpably and even
criminally guilty Of gross neglect OF
duty and deserve TO be hauled up
for aiding and abetting in man
slaughter, Let the casual pedes-
trian take tramp down the wide
road which was built for the APP
proach to the Kapiolani Home. He
will see houses being erected on the
dump grounds with filthy rags and
decaying vegetable matter with
other worse and disease breeding
filth for foundation. All this ma
terial should be burned and not pre-
served to breed pestilence. Surely
there is some authority left in this
land to protect the poor from the
greed OF the rich in constructing
buildings in such q plague spot and
one which is rapidly becoming one Of
the most densely populated suburbs
OF this city. 1t makes ones heart
bleed to see the swarms OF little
children being born for death il
this filthy place.

The Olaa "squatters" may think
that they are all right, but we think
that they have been i'll advised and
will find 1t out to their cost. The
"squatters" in the United States are
the pioneers who go into the wilder
ness anc improve lands, to the pos
session of which they eventually
will be given the preference, but for
which they will have to incur the
obligations as existing under the
laws generally. Olaa lie not wilder
ness. 1t is surveyed district and
the Government can only dispose OF
the lots in accordance with our laws.
The "squatters" will have chance
with the rest Of us to buy the land
but they will not aud cannot be
treated as preferred customers.

1t is not all improbable that
in the Transvaal matter Dom
Paul is but a scapegoat and an
incident in Great Britain's I'm
perialistic expansion projects. 1t
is also not improbable that she
has dropped onto" some com
bination of her continental enc
mics which suggests that she had
better strike at the first chance
of an opening while she is ready
and before they can get their
deadly work in. The incident of
the Transvaal is as much one of
principle as are the incidents Of
Cuba, the Philippines, Porto Rico
and Hawaii, but they are the
principles of the power of might,
which often make subservient for
the time of the principles of
moral right and justice, on the
other principle that the end justi-
ties the means, so long as the end
means progress in the aggrandize-
ment of commercial wealth and
power. The era of conquest is no
more dead now than it was a
thousand years ago, and the lives
of men sacrificed are but as the
paltry units that go to form the
amalgamation of the fortunes of
multi-millionaires and octopus
like monopolies.

~ Ftt'N eAtA'A Haas -
We have looked into the question uf
laborers in Cuba and find that there l.
not now q sufficient number available
for the production o. q normal crop 90
sugar. Many OF the former labOrcrs
died as a result OF the TeCunCeniTado
policy OF Captain General wsyler. and
further loss OF laborers was caused
by the departure OF the Spanish SOL
diers. a large number OF whom worked
in the canefields. Following Is a reply
To our special enquiry on this subject:
Matanzas. October >. 1899.
In answer to your queries concern
ing the population of the island and
the lack OF n sufficient number OF la
borers to cultivate a crop OF a million
tons. would say that Notwithstanding
the great loss OF lite incident to- the
last war. we consider the population
can be estimated today at very near
one million and a half inhabitants. As
regards laborCrs, undoubtedly there
will be 4 great scarcity of them when
r.
and now would be the time To- begin
thinking seriously about some kind of
