II the rumors current in Manila are
to be believed, Aguinaldo is suffering
the fate of many another better man
before him. His house of cards has
tumbled about his ears and his people
having suffered considerable loss both
in life and property are beginning to
find that they have been fooled. \
section of them, however, are still will
ling to fight and they have another
leader There would be nothing SUR
prising to hear that Aguinaldo, if he
manages to escape knitting by his own
people, has turned up as a refugee
among his late enemies. Men of his
stamp move from one side to another
with perfect ease, and brazen out a
position that would make an iron stove
blush with shame.

LABOR PERMITS.

The question of labor permits is one
which will arouse a great deal of ar
gument and a great deal of feeling. 1t
is going down to the root of the mat
ter. 1t is a subject which has been
open to discussion ever since annexa-
tion took place, but it is one which
was not discussed because it is wise
TO let sleeping dogs lie. The proposal
of the cabinet has, however brought
the matter to the front.
In all public questions there are at
least two main ways to look at a ques-
ton, and there are a dozen modified
views which may also be taken shad-
ing gradually from the positive to the
negative, as the colors in the spectrum
blend imperceptibly one into the other.
In regard to contract labor one set
of people denounce it as a species of
slavery, another set of people consider
that it is by no means slavery. OF the
latter line of thought are great many
people here. OF the former are nearly
the entire 10000, 900 inhabiting the Unit
ed States.
Now it does not very much matter
what we think down here; we have
not population enough to class us as
a fair sized town, but ii does matter

THE NEW OATH.

The question of registration, al
though an important one, is not like
ly to cause much excitement until in
formation comes from Washington as
to what the president intends to order
about holding an election. OF course
our authorities have had to proceed
as usual with the registration, just as
they felt it necessary to elect a sena-
tor in place of Mr.. Schmidt. There
might not occur any need of calling the
senate together during the remainder
of the term, indeed at the present mo-
ment no one foresees such a need, but
then again no one knows in this world
what a day may bring forth, and
should an emergency arise, there would
then be no time to put the machinery
in order for an election. So an APP
parently useless expense had to be in
CURED.
So it is with the registration. The
law prescribes the length of time that
the registration books must be open
and further prescribes what oath
should be taken. But here at once
came a difficulty, the clerk of the su-
preme court and the registrars differ
ed as to the form of oath The regis
trars went by the law under the Ha-
waiian constitution. The clerk of the
court declined to administer that oath
upon the ground that it was no longer
required. The cabinet yesterday, I'M
der authority claimed under Article 70
of the constitution, rearranged the
oath. Whether the cabinet is acting
within its powers in this matter is
quite a question. Some people think
that Article 70 bears no such interpre-
tation as has been put upon it.
Article 70 was inserted in the consti-
tuition to enable the election OF 1895 to
be held AS soon as that election had
been held and an election law had been
passed that section became inopera-
tive according to the views of a large
number of people. The matter will
probably go before the supreme court
before it is settled. Meantime those
who register do not know whether they
have done so legally or not.

There has been ample time for the
various charitable societies to be in
formed as to what charity organization
means, and their officers will be able
TO decide today whether the city is
ready for such an advance or not.
Perhaps the name Charity Organiza-
tion" has led people into a misconcep-
ton as to what the objects of the or
ganization really are. A better name
would have been Charity Protection
Society. What is aimed at is the pro-
lection of the various societies from I'M
warranted raids upon their funds. That
frauds have been perpetrated and will
be perpetrated again we all know. 1t
is to minimize the chance of this that
the movement is initiated Incident
ally it would do more, for by drawing
the members of the societies together
it might lead them, in time, to make
united efforts in directions which are
now closed to them.

The growth of our principal industry
is shown by a set of figures in another
column. No such record has ever been
made before in the history of the Is
lands. The sun of prosperity is shin
ing brilliantly just now. What we
want to do is to look out that no sudden
cloud shall come up and shut out the
sun from us. During our prosperity
we should provide and foresee that
when any change comes we shall be
ready to meet it. The Star believes in
the future. 1t has done so for years
When people were respondent in the
times before annexation, there was al
ways hope. Now that our prosperity
has begun TO dawn, we may feel as
sured that it will continue. There may
be a momentary lull but it will be as
nothing if we are prepared for it. Be
cause there was a temporary lull in
stocks some people thought the bot
tom had dropped out But there will
be far more brilliant times in the flu
ture than ever we have seen yet.

very much what the people 81 the
United states think. N the pco-
pie of the United states object to con-
tract labor and We know they do. II
viii be the wiser course for W. to shape
our way according to those views. We
have become an integral part of the
United states. by this we have obtain
ed certain great advantages, we are
I'm duty bound to consider the views Of
the United states even though the laws
OF the republic are not I'm actual force
here yet.
The Hawaiian cabinet seems to have
reached a point where 1t has at last
realized this. The continual pouring
in of contract labor is being used
against us on the mainland, and we
have to remember that we are not
quite out of the woods What we want
is to be territory. What many on
the mainland desire is to put us into
the category of a colony. If they sue
coed there can be a tariff against us,
and we can go back to the position we
were in when every year brought its
struggle to let us keep the right of free
sugar entry into our natural market.
1t is therefore our principal aim to so
guide our steps that we may do moth
ing that shall initiate against our
chances of becoming a territory.
What the cabinet proposes is there
fore not only right according to the
views of those who denounce contract
labor, but it is also good policy. Some
say that what we do here, or what we
arrange about our labor, will have no
effect upon the ultimate issue. This
reasoning is unsound. They think that
under any circumstances we shall get
territorial government. They have on
ly to consider by what a narrow ma
jority the peace treaty was passed to
realize that to get what we want we
shall need every vote we can get.
We have to meet this labor question
at some time. When there is an evil
day coming is it not much better to
face it, than to try and put off the in
evitable. We cannot be part of Anne
RIGA and have contract labor. We have
elected to become part of America,
now let us meet the labor question and
try to make change gradually, in
stead of having it come as a thunder
bolt, as come it will.

There seems an immense amount of
hesitation about acting upon the milk
report of the food commissioner, and
the president of the board is credited
with saying that the milk inspecting
department should be under the direct
control of the board" One fails to
see how the milk inspecting" depart
ment can be more under the control
of the board than it is. The Board of
Health under Section of Act "a of
the Session Laws of 1898, appoints the
food commissioner. If the food COM
missoner's duties are not properly car
ried out, or his reports are not salts
factory, it is quite in the province of
the Board of Health to find another
incumbent. But there seems no neces-
sity for a special inspection of the milk
outside of other food. AS the law
stands all inspection is under control
Of the board, and no complaint can be
made by the food commissioner unless
authorized by the board. Is the milk
report so damaging that the board is
afraid of it?

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
lty, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small
When IN need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger

County Court Proceedings.

The November term Of the County
Court of Jefferson county began Mon
day, with the full court on the bench.
Charles W. Henkle, who has been ap-
pointed a notary public, qualified in
court. The petition of George W.
Shell and others asking that a bridge
be constructed across the Shenandoah
river at Myerstown was presented,and
the court refused the same.
The valuations for assessments OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, Norfolk and
Western and Winchester and Potomac
Railroads were fixed by the court, and
show reduction as compared with
former years. a number Of erroneous
assessments were corrected and large
number of road orders passed.
Gerard D. Moore and J. W. Rider,
who were appointed by the Board of
Public Works to reassess the real es-
tate in Jefferson county under an act
of the Legislature, have completed
their work and returned their books
to the court. The books show a re-
duction in valuation as compared with
former assessments in many instances,
it having been well known that large
portion of the real estate, particularly
farm lands, was heretofore assessed too
high.

Lookout For the MeteOrS.

From Sunday to Tuesday of the
ensuing week the earth will cross the
track of that celestial wanderer known
as Temples comet, which Is accompa-
MED by few millions of meteors of
varying size that are expected to pre-
sent display of much beauty in the
heavens. This comet and its meteorlc
bombaldment comes this way only
every 33f years, so it should be ap-
preciated. There is no necessity for
hiding in the cellars during the time
the comet is shooting its stars at US,
for the meteors are all small ones that
will be consumed by friction in pass
ing through the atmosphere long be-
fore they can reach the earth. 1t is
stated that the meteors can be best
seen by young folks who are congen-
tally paired together watching them
from a dimly-lighted room or strolling
in the moonlight. The scientists say,
however, that there is no necessity for
holding hands while the meteors are
being waited for.
