BAPTISM BY FIRE.

A new religious sect has appeared
in Pennsylvania. who believe in Bap-
tism by fire. The leaders are sincere
men. and many of the prosperous far
mers have been converted to the new
doctrine. 1t is said that the fire des-
cends from Heaven in tongues. and
leaves marks upon the face. arms and
hands. 1t is claimed by the leaders
that faith will do all things. A we'll
developed faith, 1t Is urged by their
preachers will enable human beings to
fly.
These converts are honest and steady
farmers. II Mr.. Damon fails to secure
italian immigrants, he may be able to
secure colony Of these thrifty but
singular people. They are well adapt
ed to settle on the plantations ad-
Joining Mauna Loa. Volcanic out
breaks will furnish them special bap-
tlsm OF fire. and, az the more they are
roasted or scorched, the more devout
and faithful they will be, there will
be no danger of their abandoning the
plantations.
AS those believers in Baptism by fire
are admirable men with the hoe, some
extraordinary effort should be made to
furnish them with samples OF such fire
as we possess, and offer it free with
q half acre of land.

THE AMI RICANS AND THE beers.

Az war actually exists between the
British and the Beers. there arises a
curious study in inherited prejudices
Of nations which is displayed in their
attitude towards the combatants. The
Germans, naturally sympathize with
the Beers. The French also, because
they hate perfidious Albion. The Rus

THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE.
BlIlTY.

The Executive in Washington is
placed in a delicate position. regarding
the labor questions which have arisen
here. While the Newlands Resolution,
so far as that document, containing
general and in some respects vague
language, Is concerned, permits Ha-
wall to assist" immigrant labor, there
still remains decidedly the spirit
though not the letter of the Federal
law which forbids It. As the President
has assumed the power to suspend our
laws. as he has done in the election
case, he Is open to the charge by his
enemies Of not suspending our assisted
immigration laws, SO that neither Asia
tics nor Europeans can be aided to reach
these Islands. While the protection Of
our own interests justifies him in per-
hitting us some latitude or privileges
In securing labor, during the transit
ton period, 1t may not help him in
carrying his political responsibilities.
Congress, especially the Democratic
party. will attempt to hold the Pres
dent responsible for the policy pursued
by his officers in the local government.
Congress will not attempt to holu the
local government or the planters to
account for any violation OF the spirit
Of the American laws. The President
has, according to his own interpreta-
ton Of the Resolution, arbitrary power
in our affairs and the whole respons-
ibility Of what is done here will be put
upon him.
| The lack OF good representative in
Washington, from the hour of annexa-
ton until the transition period Is COM
pleted, is deplorable blunder. No one
can be held especially responsible for
1t. The public sentiment of the mer-
chants and the sugar interest has been
Indifferent about it, and the govern
ment has been crippled by lack of
appropriations. An active representa-
tive, acceptable to the Washington
authorities, would have prevented these

GOOD FOOD.

II one-tenth Of the time spent in talk
ing and writing about the wonderful
products OF this Paradise of the Paci-
fic had been spent in actually produc-
ing some good fruit and vegetables,
We would today have an attractive
vegetable and fruit market. Our case
Is that OF Col. D. who was a noted
writer in the Rural New Yorker on
the raising Of pigs. The readers Of the
paper, with the usual credulity Of the
readers OF newspapers, assumed that he
was King among hog growers. But
one OF them, desiring to grasp the hand
OF this eminent cultivator, travelled
many miles to visit him. He found
the writer engaged in doctoring an old
ard sickly SOW, which was the sole
occupant of his pen. and being forced
to a confession. said that hog-farming
on paper was his gift, and he should
sternly resent any intin alton that he
needed to qualify as writer by be-
coming an actual hog raiser. When
ever the tourist has innocently asked
to see the fine productions OF our soil,
he Is pointed to pine-apples and bana-
mas, but after that, the pointing Is done
In vague and general manner, and
attention is not called to the imperfect
products OF the Chinese gardens.
but there Is a ray OF light In the
horticultural world. Mr. Lovekin Is

sh. There are also q large and per.
1aps the largest class Of intelligent
Americans who look behind the pro-
LESSONS OF the Beers, and see that they
are q minority Of the capable residents
Of the Transvaal. and that instead Of a
Republic, there exists only a narrow
and despotic oligarchy. They see that
the policy Of the British In Africa 4
ID establish strong colonies with uni
versal suffrage. placing every resident
of whatever nationality upon the same
footing as the British themselves, just
as they have done In Canada and Aus
tralia. They see that 1t Is better for
Africa, better for the world. that be-
fore large white population exists in
Africa that Anglo-Saxon institutions
be established there once for all time.
Instead OF delaying the inevitable
struggle to a time when an army Of a
quarter of a million of men in arms
must settle it. with blood and iron, II
Is better to settle II now and forever,
with less number, and with smaller
sacrifice
The policy and conduct Of the Beers
towards the intelligent Outlanders is
the same as that OF the British King
towards our own ancestors which pre-
cipitated the Revolutionary war. The
Beers do not intend to let the Outland-
ers rule the country. however numer-
GUS and intelligent they may be.
As to the doctrine Of self rule, We
Americans are wisely and bravely dis
carding 1t, unless education and intel
ligence underlie it. and We are not
preaching about 1t from the house tops
but are making 1t manifest in Luzon
Porto Rico and Cuba. AS the Beers
have settled down to permanent dis
elimination against the most precious
beliefs OF the Anglo-Saxon race, there
remains but one course only by which
to correct their errors, and that course
the British are taking.
When the Beers. in their greed for
money. permitted and encouraged the
intelligent Outlanders to enter. reside
and invest an enormous amount OF
capital in the Transvaal, there arose
an unwrittep contract between the par
ties, that the Outlanders. II they were
good and responsible citizens, should
have some political rights. The con-
tract is broken and the British will
now enforce 1t. The serious people
o. America, reluctant as they are to
approve of the use of force. will give
their sympathy to the British in the
execution of their wise policy Of lap
ping the world with just and whole
some laws.

ANNEXATION OF CUBA

The movement Tor the annexation o
Cuba is quiet but continuous. The pro.
motors Of 1t avoid, at present, exciting
public discussion over 1t in the States
Americans continue to invest heavily
In cane and tobacco lands. Senator
Park of Michigan and Congressman
Hawley are promoting several large
corporations which own extensive
tracts OF land. The Cuban Land and
Steamship Company has purchased 3O,-
900 acres of land and invites American
farmers to settle and join in co-opera-
tive cane cultivation. The promoters
claim that they have already 5000
American investors.
The scheme for annexation is sim
pie one. The people OF Cuba are to be
gradually taught that there is great
profit in annexation and no profit with
out 1t. 1t is believed that any senti-
ments the Cubans have In favor OF in
dependence will yield to the argument
Of the pocket. ~
While Congress has pledged itself to
maintain Cuban independence. it has
not pledged itself to refuse annexation,
II the Cubans ask for it.
As annexation means the introduce
tion of Cuban products, especially
sugar and tobacco, into the States. free
OF duty, the annexation movement will
be popular one In Cuba, and the most
ignorant part of the population will
gradually favor 1t.
Several years will pass before this
movement takes an effective shape.
When It does, the question will be be-
fore the American people, whether 1t
will annex territory, whose products
will compete with those of the several
States. The strategic and commercial
value OF Cuba is admitted. But, are
these advantages Offset by the disad-
vantages OF competition? The Ameri-
can farmers OF the Mainland will in

lean farmers who settle in Cuba will

While the Democratic party favors

able. He has gained much from help

ANCIENT IDOLS OF HAWAII.
The ancient idols OF Hawaii, hideous,
misshapen and terror-inspiring, have
renowned their evil proclivities, and
now Join in the pleasure-loving pur-
pose of the Goddess Pallas. They rep
resent the period in Americas infant
colony when the natives of Hawaii
worshiped the gods through idols in
conformity with their idea that the
gods we're cruel and passionate and de-
lighted in human suffering.

BIG RUSH OF SUGAR BETS.

Hundreds Of Tons Daily Reach the
Salinas Refinery.
SALINAS, Oct. 17.-Some idea OF the
rush at the Spreckels sugar factory
may be gained from the knowledge
that several extra freight trains have
been coming and going daily over the
Southern Pacific tracks for some weeks
past. Yesterday an extra with twelve
gondola cars ueavily laden with beets.
arrived In the forenoon. The cars car
ried $50 tons Of beets. and this was
only q small portion Of the daily re-
ceipts. Then the northbound extra
freight takes away daily from six to
seven carloads OF sugar to the refinery
at San Francisco. This output will av-
srage about 100 tons daily.

Every State and Territory has an
annual agricultural or horticultural ex-

tiers to the Asiatics, and are rather
proud of our degradation.
There are individual cases of success

Here at once arise the moralists who
declare that the regulation OF vice Of
any kind Is an admission of its right
to exist. But the world Is gradually
coming to the conclusion that abstract
right Is poor weapon, but an excel

his thoughtful essays says. the British
nation declares for the right, but sus-
Ponds the right II it interferes with
reaching a definite and temporary

HonOlulu was one of the vilest sea-

withdrawal Of the whaling feet the

oomnerce had left its trail In poison

1kpaAsion Is now to repeat the un-
savory. demoralizing conditions which
prevailed during the visits Of the whal-
lng feet. Only a study Of the sea-
ports of the world will enable one to
realise the undue and disproportionate
growth Of the social evils, which COM

in the future a steady increase of
demoralizing conditions, and the laws

pleasures. These conditions cannot be
changed. but must be accepted.
It would be great benefit to the
moral condition of the city IL Pearl
Harbor should become the seaport in
stead Of Honolulu. 1. would draw to
that place the degrading associations
which go into commerce and with gar
risons. 1t would leave the town itself
In . measure free from the vices which
trade brings in its left hand.
But. at present. this is impractical
bic. The wisdom of the hour Is to
put vice where it will outwardly be
the least offensive.
