trusts are at work. Let the Chris

We really must insist that our fell
low citiz ems Of Hawaii, the Chinese
and Japanese, be not overlooked in
the multifarious task of keel ing tab
on Uncle Sans lately acquired sub
jects, We have before called atten-
ton to this; but there seems to be
studied effort to ignore them, and
to give preference to the Fillipinos,
the Cubans, the Porto Ricans, and
to our proteges of Samoa. Hawaii is
not only on the map, but it is one of
US; and, what's more, it is kicking.
Now it seems that the social rela-
tons between these countrymen of
ours in Hawaii, vhe Chinese and ia
panese, are at present little
strained; so much so, in fact, that
armed force is required to keep them
dwelling together in that peace and
unity BETTING a proper sense of
gratitude for American citizenship.
This, it seem to us, is in itself inter-
esting enough for general attention;
but it it were not, we have it stated,
in an out of the way corner of the
daily press, that twelve thousand
Japanese have recently been landed
on the Islands. Now are twelve
thousand such eligibles to come
amongst US unnoticed, and without
even an address of welcome9 Shame
on rs that il is so! The PHILIPPINES,
Cuba, Porto Rico. and Samoa, are
all we'll enough in their way, but
they are not the only turnips in the
patch, and we want to b" understood
as condemning this 81. meful dis
elimination against Hawaii.
We quote the following extract
from the address recently issued by
Parks National Organiz alton"
committee. After declaring it to be
the intention of this committee to
organize bolts from the various con-
ventions leading up to national con-
vention in the event they happened
not to control, the address says:
"Should the national convention
of 1900 be controlled in the interest
OF FUSION" the straight delegations
shall leave said convention and join
the contesting delegations sent under
this plan in straight convention,
and there carry out the will of the
people for the nation without regard
to the fusion convention"
Now laying aside the question of
fusion as a party policy, and
granting that it may be either bene-
fcial or detrimental to the party; it
seems to US that any man or set of
men who thus declare their intention
to refuse to abide by The action of
the national delegate convention of
the Peoples Party, coming as it does
from the rank and file itself CT the
party voters, in the event they fail
to run roughshod over it, create an
element of discord of which the
party would be better rid. Now it
seems to US that if the members of
this committee would 60 to work to
make popular Peoples Party prin-
ciples, they would pe serving the
party much better than by devising
ways and means of disrupt ng the
party's organization.
We are delighted to see from q re-
cent interview in the Post that Sen
ator Harriss, the Populist Senator of
that State, gives such a good account
of the increasing strength of the Pop
ulist party in Kansas. Senator Har-
riss says that the popular movement
against trusts is helping the Peoples
Party IN his State, as indeed it is in
every state in the Union. This is
perfectly natural. The Peoples Par
ty was the first to declare against the
evils of trusts; and was the first to
inaugurate movement looking to
their elimination. The platform of
the Peoples Party is the only party
platform that suggests the remedy
for removing the causes that produce
trusts. And as the great body of
people have learned from PEOPLES
Party teaching what evils they must
correct, SO, also, will they realize
that these evils can only be removed
by fighting for the Peoples Party
principles.
We welcome the New York Jour-
nal into the ranks of the Peoples
Party press. In recent issue of
that paper appeared long editorial
