THE PASSING HOUR.

There is an opening for professional
forecasters in trying to predict what
the next national platforms OF the great
political parties will have to say about
Cuba and the Philippines.
SO slow is the movement in the direc-
ton of making good the pledge, promise
and statute that it might be well to
launch an organized crusade for that
children's playground to eventually be
located in Aala, near Nuuanu stream.
The Dewey anecdotes will probably
increase and go on forever, but II
would be really interesting to know if
he actually is against the retention OF
the Philippines by the United States,
as represented by an administration
newspaper.
With a transportation factor that is
in the field permanently there is now
some encouragement to island people
to produce fruits and vegetables for the
off-season trade on Puget Sound and
the wide expanse of cold and isolated
country back of that district.
Cable builders are conservative as
other heavy capitalists and they are
not fooling anybody particularly when
they talk of the errors of Congress in
stead of getting down to ways and
means of carrying on such enterprises
as they are in the habit of engineer
ing.
1t is plain that if nothing else comes
of the modest expenditure made by Ha-
wall for a showing at the Omaha
Trans Mississippi Exposition, the cot
fee culture business Of the Islands has
received not only a commercial i'm
petus but vast and direct benefit that
otherwise would have been delayed for
years.
Cold wave stories from the oldest in
habitants are now in order. In The
Story of Country Town" the author
tells of a city of his acquaintance fam
Gus or distinguished for oldest inhab-
itants. Honolulu does pretty we'll in
this line and always gives heed and re-
spect and fullest consideration to the
kamaainaS.
There are no Chinese highbinders in
this part OF the United States, though
the lawlesS heather thrive and fatten
on the nearest edge of the Mainland.
The absence of the undesirable element
from the Islands may be attributed al
most entirely to the influence of the
Chinese merchants and others who
have come within the missionary in
fiuence.

PURIFYING THE JURY.

In the bill before the House for the
government of Alaska, there is pro-
vision in these words: Nor is any
person competent to act as a juror
who has been convicted of any felony,
or a misdemeanor involving moral tur-
pitude.'
The debate on this provision gave
rise to arguments which discussed the
moral condition of that Territory. On
a motion TO strike out this provision,
Representative Jenkins desired that it
should be striker out, because he did
not think that attorneys and courts
should inquire into the history of a
person who had immigrated into the
Territory. Such a person may nave
committed some offense in an Older
Stale, and sought the Territory in or
der to begin life again. Representa-
tive Tongue was in favor of the pro-
vision. 'If you must send to the
West" he said, ''for the good of the
East, inmates of your penitentiaries
and jails, your .rottenness and your
you ought not to force us to accept
them on juries to pass upon the rights
and liberties of honest men,
Whatever may be the merits OF the
proposition, it is one of the strangest
facts in the development of the West
ern communities that men guilty Of
offenses involving moral turpitude,
have done great service in nation
building. Indeed, they have fatty con-
tradicted the Sunday school stories
about the certainty OF punishment for
crime. 1t was a common remark forty
years ago that Michigan was built up
by the absconding bankrupts of New
England. Young men, inexperienced
and not wise ventured into risky COM
mercial matters that involved their
own ruin, and legal crime incidentally.
The only apparent escape from per-
manent disgrace was in living under
the new conditions Of the West, where
moral pedigree had no value, because
1t could not be practically ascertained,
and therefore every man was judged
by his present record.
1t was said by one of the oldest set
tiers and most wealthy men of Michi-
gan that many of the absconding
bankrupts of New England made the
best citizens. A prosecuting attorney
in one of the Southern States observ-
ed that negro juries were invariably
very severe upon any negro tried for
chicken stealing, although every mem
Der Of the jury had been repeatedly
guilty of the same offense. They I'M
consciously believed in protecting So
ciety against crime committed by an
other.
The drift of the debate in the House
over this provision of the Alaska law,
was to strike it out. inasmuch as it
might exclude some of the first citizens
of that Territory from the right to sit
in the jury box.

statesmen, Senator Cullom and Mr.
Hit, leaders of the Republican party,
not only agree with the Southern Dem
ocrats, but would limit the elective
franchise in these Islands with a prop
erty qualification.
Mr.. Williams is opposed to prop
erty qualification in Mississippi, be
cause the educational restriction is
quite sufficient to exclude the colOred
vote If it did not, he would at once
have another political vision and in
sist on a property restriction.
The opposition of the Democrats to
the policy of expansion is two-fold.
They oppose it, because it is a Repuo-
lican policy, although it does not have
the united support of the Republicans
in Congress. They oppose it also, be
cause they desire TO prevent the admls-
sion Of any more inferior races to
American citizenship. Whatever pos
sibilities there may be in the negro
race, and they may be great, the pres
ent status of the negro in the States,
as it is admitted by their most intelli-
gent friends, is an obstacle to rapid
social progress. 1t does not prevent 1t,
but delays it. Although the Southern
people are, in the best sense, more
friendly to the negro than the people
of the North, they are confronted with
the demoralizing tendencies of the ne
gro character in it's condition of poll
teal childhood, and they are disposed
to take gloomy. and perhaps too
gloomy views of the dangers of an
nexing inferior races.

A QUALIFIED SUFFRAGE.

Mr. John S. Williams of Mississippi,
who is opposed to the annexation OF
the Philippines, made an able speech
ON the subject in the House on Janu-
airy A. Many will entirely differ from
him in his conclusions, but will. at
the same time, admire his ability and
honesty.
He justified without reservation the
Mississippi constitution that provides
for educational qualification, and then
commented on the action OF Commits
sioners who had drafted the organic
law for Hawaii. He said:
1tMy friend, the Chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee tMr.
Hitt), went some time ago with great
Republican Senator and others as
Commissioner to Hawaii, representing
people who had been bowling, 10!
these many years, because Mississippi
had indirectly disfranchised its color
ed voters. And what did they bring
back with them as scheme OF gov
eminent for these Islands? The Mis-
sissippi constitution with property
qualification added! And If |
am the only Democrat in this House
/ shall stand for white supremacy in
Hawaii, when that question comes up,
as I have stood for it in Mississippi,
and shall vote for every provision OF
the Mississippi constitution, which ap-
pears in the scheme of government (for
HawaiD presented by the gentleman
from Illinois (Mr. Hitt) to this House.
I shall vote for those provisions Of the
scheme which make for white mans
supremacy. 1 shall not vote for the
property qualification, because L am
not in favor of a rich mans suprem-
acy"
Mr.. Williams declares that IAN edu-
cational qualification would prevent
the inferior race there Tin HawaiD
from ruling the white minority, if Ha-
waii were a State in the Union, or were
given self government as a Territory.
We are not, at present, approving or
disappearing these opinions. They are
presented as Indicating the nature of
the d~xtte Z Congress. 1t shows a
r--,arkable change in opinion when

If the advice given in those three
words is needed, good health will fol-

reasons, principally, because it is con-
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be a fact.
