THE LABOR QUESTION.
c. Wolters Favors the Open Door
to Japanese.
iLihue. Kauai, April Is, 1899.

I<iHue, hdudl, ApTIl ID, 1888.
EDITOR p. C. A.-The Government
questions the advisability of bringing
more Japs into the country. Schemes
of profit sharing, etc., are purposed,
that have proved a success nowhere.
Does the Government know that for
each ten tons of sugar to produce. one
laborer is required? With all the new
plantations springing np, where is the
labor to come from, If not from ia
pan. Importing American farm hands
is idle talk; America has no farm
hands to spare. If it was not for the
Jap, California would raise no beets.
BY all means let all Japs come that
want to come. Without sufficient
labor the Islands will he worse off
than ever before and the sugar in
dustry will be ruined
Let the people make up their minds
before the annexation business (or
form of admission) is settled, what ths
best interests of the Islands are The
Islands would fare best if they would
become a colony, with free hand to
import labor as much as necessary, no
matter from where, at the same time
they might enjoy a tariff protection of
say 1 cent a pound. That is ajI thar
might be reasonably expected ard
should satisfy everybody.
Yours truly,

ISOLATION OF SIN
An Eloquent Discourse by Rev.
". NJ. Kincaid.
CONSCIENCE MANS BEST GUIDE
Coon and Loneliness Follow Al Act Of
Wrong Doing-Se,arates Man from Col
The Gospel the Only Hope

Last evening at the Central Union
Church Rev w. NJ Kincaid preached
on The Isolation of Sin" His text
was Gen. 4:16, And Cain went out
from the presence of the Lord"
more signal description of the
isolation caused by sin could not be
found. Sin is the willful doing of that
which is wrong. A sinful state is
merely the choice of the heart and the
act is the outcome of the state
Suppose a man has lived a life of
purity and integrity for twenty-five
he yields to some temptation, we
know not what. Apparently all is in
the same state as before. The sky
| is just as blue, the breath of the
zephyr just as sweet Hitherto the
brow of the man was unclouded, his
greeting was one of ringing joy. But
quickly the change comes. He is not
as he used to be. The universal
harmony is broken; to his darkened
mind all men seem his enemies. Deep
feels the isolation of sin.
Sin separates man from his best
self The good man can look into
his own heart and commune with it;
he can gaze upon the reflected image
of his own conscience. But the fall
comes and he hates himself An en-
nifty has sprung up between his heart
and him. If there is to be happiness
and joy in this life, there must be
peace within. We ourselves must be
able to feel that we are right before
we can value the esteem of others.
Young man, the greatest trouble with
sin is not the danger of being found
out. After the deed is done upon cam
Isame old friends you were before. Two
persons once congenial and full of mu
tual feeling, become estranged and firm
friendships are shaken.
But the worst consequence of sin is
that it separates man from God. This
must be the inevitable result. 1t is
not God who shuts the door. 1t is
the sinner. A single simple act of
impurity darkens the windows of the
soul which look toward God. An act
of dishonesty may be committed SO
that he who does it may be entirely
free from detection. No eye may look
upon him save the all-seeing orb of
God. Yet soon the feeling of loneliness
will Cypress him. His isolation Is
worse than that of a man in an open
boat in the midst of the gray ocean.
Above the blue skies smile; around
on every hand spreads the desolate
waste.
After an act of sin our friends may
he as kind. the heavens may be as
radiant. yet all is dark and gloomy.
But out from the darkness and strug-
giles of life the Gospel rises like a sweet
strain of strange, ethereal music. 1t
makes no difference how deep the
gloom of the night may be, over the
troubled waters the divine words are
ringing. at is = whose
ever will may come.

To Plant Cane.

A number of Kaiwiki homesteaders

stead land will be planted in cane this

mostly by Japanese, whose lots are

An Old Land Mark Gone.

Progress with relentless hand is
sweeping away the quaint old archl-

and there marked the oldest settled
spots in our town. One OF the last

roofed wooden building next to L..
G. Green's store long known as the
dublin building this structure was
erested by Louis Ourblin in 1867 and
was used as a ballroom for a long
TIME. In the early part OF the 7o's
it secame a negro lodging house and
w5 called "Freetown,' the coons
whe piled in there as in crowded
citS tenement. It's last use was as
the livery stable Of Robt. F. Derouen.

Report of Grand Jury.

Ne your Grand Jurors regularly
imEanelled and sworn to well and
truly inquire into and true present
mept make of all such matters given
us In charge by your Honor, as well
as other matters brought to u notice
by the District Attorney and other
parties interested in the prosecution
of offenders of the laws of the state
beg leave to report:
That We have made careful and
diligent search of all violations of the
criminal law since the sitting of the
last grand jury.
Throughout the examination OF the
cases presented to us we find that the
parish is in a very peaceful condition
as will be see by the number of true
bills rendered by us as a body.
Our investigation and examination
of the courthouse building find it to
be in good condition with these ex-
ceptions-the flooring of the south
entrance is rapidly decaying, which,
if allowed to continue, will aus SER
ious damage. We have also found
that the dampness in the vault of the
Clerks Office is materially damaging
valuable records appertaining to this
parish and recommend that steps be
taken to remedy same and in refer
ence to offices we find everything in
fairly good condition especially the
Assessors Office.
We have visited what is called a
parish prison by the people, and
found the building unsafe aad unclean
and unworthy of the name-being
called a Jail, owing to the repairs
made by the police jury by cutting
the steel cage and substituting cement
Sinks which allow the prisoners to
escape at their pleasure and also find
the sinks in a filthy condition making
it unhealthy not only to prisoners but
to. those living in the immediate vi
ciaity. We also recommend that
these sinks be removed, the steel cage
repaired where cut and the original
sihks replaced. In regards to pris-
ollers, we find a woman who is charg-
ee of being insane, We recommend
that steps be taken to have her re-
moved to the State Insane Asylum
and same action be taken in behalf
OF the three men.
AS to the financial condition of the
parish and school board we hereto
attach report Of parish treasurer Eli
Wise, and that of the sheriff and ex-
o;ficio tax collector j. o. Hebert and
make the same part of this report.
We also obtained from Mr.. j. r.
Kitehell Supt. of public schools the
following report:
An enrolment of 1000 pupils, at.
tendance of pupils not as regular al
should be, think it due principally tx
parental differences, and the financial
;condition will be seen in the treasur
Eers report, the present session will rul
fabout eight months including 46 o
l47 schools and about so teachers
paw roll being about 81, 10000 pc
7 month.
Our attention has been called t
the fact that the rice growers OF tn
I parish. or some of them, in order I
z oct sufficient water to flood their ric
( in some instances have damned tn
