There is still another aspect of the
Constitutional question, which the
gentlemen who believe in the present
existence of the Constitution over this
territory would do well to consider.
If our local Supreme Court had de-
cided that the collection of duties on
goods imported to these Islands from
the United States is unconstitutional,
il would also be a judicial decision
that duties levied on Hawaiian goods
imported TO lhe United States, are also
made in violation of the Constitution.
An importer of such goods in San
Francisco would show a copy of deci-
sion TO the Collector of Customs Of that
port and demand free entry of the
goods. II the decision is good law in
one case, ii is good law In the other
case The Collector would at once
open his eyes and then telegraph the
facts to the Secretary of the Treasury.
What would the Secretary reply.

Executive, has power TO direct the To-

the same power, whatever it Is, which
he used in suspending our elections.
Why have not these gentlemen sub

an executive order for The repayment

4 Mr.. Ernest Flagg. of New York. an
author. architect and reformer. Is
making another contribution to the
new methods OF caring for the wage
earners. He Is showing the rich men
how they may beat the camel in the
struggle to get through "the eye of
the needle" Having proved in the
Mills Hotel which has 1860 rooms in
IL. that light, air cleanliness, cheap
ness and profit may go together, he is
now building tenement houses for
families which will vastly improve the
condition OF the tenants who receive
scant wages. He claims that the plan
Of the square should be adopted in
"recting the tenement houses. and the
Ian of erecting buildings on oblong
lots 25x100 should be forbidden. BY
this plan there is an increase Of % per-
cent in income from given area, and
at the same time, the tenants will re-
ceive more air and comfort. Mr.
Flagg has already erected several ten
ement houses on land west of the Cen
trail Park. The minimum price for
two-room fiat is $l.6O per week, and
for a three-room fiat $3.50 per week.
There are 373 apartments in these
buildings. The starways are Of blue
stone. There are mosaic floors in the
corridors, gas and coal heat, ranges,
hardwood finish, air and light in every
room.
AS fast as these structures are erect
ed, the tenants leave the old rookeries.
and the stingy landlords find them un-
occupied. The best service commands
the best profits in the long run. Mr..
Flagg does not erect flagstaffs on his
tenement houses. but he lifts sorrow
and discomfort from the soul of many
weary woman, who travels mcanly
through this vale of tears" and
thanks God that man lives who has
brought air and sunshine into her
humble rooms. Hurrah for such
Flags.
Those who have heretofore believed,
without real faith, in "the greatest
good TO the greatest number" have
not, as a rule, thought there was any
money in it, although the Scriptures
plainly intimate that there is. A few
phlanthropists with wealth and err
ratio minds, have accepted the propo-
sitiOn as one of business value, and
are putting 1t on trial. So far it Is a
success. Ogden Mills made his for
tune out OF the Bonanza mines. The
coin struck from those Nevada crags
has confronted barbarism and sickness
and immoral environments in New
York city and dislodged them.
What would the Master do II He
were on earth? Plant American flags
on the hilltops, or bless the Ernest
Flaggs that walk lin His steps?

Gently Issued by the Department NJ
Agriculture Ia Washington titled
Progress OF the Bec,-sugar Industry
Of the United States In 1898"
II shows the revolution In agricul-
tural methods which has been made
by the scientific methods in compdri-
son with the old "Rule-of thumb
ways which have repressed the adj
vance Of agriculture. The Departm INT
and the Experimental Stations. in
spite OF the indifference of the major
ity of the farmers, have done for the
farmers that which they could not DO
for themselves. that is. apply the scien-
tifc method.
The prospect of getting a new and
profitable industry. has attracted the
farmers, and under the old ways, a
series of careless indefinite expert
ments would have been made. involv-
ing great loss of time and money,
and in the end. discouraging the farm
ers.
ment that trained heads could think
of has been tried in nearly every State.
Instead of thousand desultOry re-
searches. in State, there has been
only one conducted at each Station,
and all of the knowledge that Ger
many or France could supply has been
made available. The farmer. simply
for tbea asking. has an amount of ac-
curate knowledge placed before him
that twenty-five years ago. it would
have cost him fortune to obtain.
One Of the most valuable contribu-
tions to the knowledge Of this subject
are the opinions of the experts of the
Department on the probabilities Of the
success Of beet cultivation in different
States. A beet-sugar belt has been
drawn, and the farmers advised not
to attempt its cultivation below, or
south of that belt. The farmers Of
Alabama, Arkansas. Delaware. Geor-
ga. the Indian territory, Kansas,
Kentucky. Maryland, North Caro-
lima. and nearly all OF the southern
States are below the belt Michigan
is regarded as one of the best States
in which the industry may be made
profitable. In parts Of Ohio 1t viii
succeed. Oregon is well adapted to it.
New York has a large area which is
| suitable. South Dakota Is doubtful
State. Utah is a promising State. Wis
consin produces excellent beets. In
the State of Washington they may be
grown with great advantage.
| While these opinions are not finally
conclusive. they show where the indus
try will thrive, and where 1t probably
will not.
The area in which 1t will thrive IS
vast and sufficient to supply the pres
ent population, and even a larger po-
pulation, Of the United States with
sugar.
Only within few years has the De-
partment of Agriculture undertaken
TO give the farmers reliable Informal
ton about beet-sugar. 1t has cleared
the way for intelligent cultivation.
without putting the farmer to any cx-
pense. Under such supervision the n
dustry will make rapid progress, If
there Is any merit in it, although 1t
will not affect the cane industry for
some time TO come. Its danger to he
sugar cane industry is in the va-de
OF beet pulp for cattle feeding and
manure.

perhaps, is permitted to remain in his

Dor contract, it is insisted that Cali
CLANS are made of better stuff than the
American mariner, and IL they break
their labor contracts, they must have
the Flag waved over them, and incur
no penalty.
There is a matter however which
does not involve penal contracts. but
does seriously involve the entire plant
ing interest. 1t is openly and definitely
charged by persons in this town, that
the Galicians have been treated with
cruelty by the managers or agents Of
the plantation on which they worked
1t is said that one Of them was beaten
with an. iron bar" that another was
numerically kicked" that another
was kicked in the abdomen" that
these men were brutally treated and
falsely imprisoned" These are Of
lenses against the common and stat
utory law of the Territory. and II true.
those guilty of these offenses should be
punished promptly and severely. The
Masters and Servants Act furnishes
no defence whatever to such deeds. II
is the duty of the government to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly. and
institute prosecutions at once against
the offenders.
II. on the other hand. there is no
truth in these charges. the government
Is under the same obligation to prose-
cute for gross criminal libel those who
have made these charges.
There was time when the plant
ing interest ignored charges Of mall
treatment, because public sentiment
was with them. That time has passed
The conduct of the planters Is on trial
in the United States, and will soon
be discussed in Congress. Does the
Planters Association propose to let the
matter go by default? Can that body
afford to let it be said in Washington
that the planters. when charged with
brutally treating and falsely imprison-
ing their contract laborers, confessed
by silence that it was true?
The days are over when a matter
of this kind is one of merely local i'm
portance. The plantations are eager
ly looking for laborers in order to
maintain the great Industry. II it is
conceded by the planters that such
charges are true. even free laborers
will hesitate to engage on their plan
tations. Are they willing to allow the
impression to prevail abroad that they
are a brutal and cruel lot?
The situation is critical. and de-
mands prompt measures. A thorough
legal investigation should be made in
the courts at once, and before Congress
meets. If the Galicians have been as
saulted, let the offenders be punished
II they have not been assaulted. let
those who are striking at the sugar
industry be punished.
/ Neither Hackfeld & Co. or the Plan
ters' Association can now afford to
ignore these charges when men here
are pressing these charges in Wash
ingtOn.
