SENATORIAL CANDIDATE.

The nomination of Theo. F. Lansing
as candidate for senator by the Anne
rican Union Party will be thoroughly
satisfactory to the members of the par
ty, and were there any opposition Mr..
Lansing would poll big vote of the
party. AS it now stands there seems
reason to believe that he will have no
opposition and that the nomination is
to all intents and purposes an election.
Mr.. Lansing has a great reputation
as one of our shrewdest and most hon
orable business men. He has taken an
active interest in politics, having been
identified with the party of progress
for many years, and has been steady
worker for the cause of annexation and
the spread of American ideas in the
Islands.
In his work upon the Board of Health
Mr. Lansing has proved himself pro-
gressive and earnest and has been a
factor in the improvement and reforms
that have been initiated by that body.
Only last week he was chosen as Wis
iting member to investigate certain
sanitary conditions in the town of
Hilo.
If Mr.. Lansing has an opportunity he
will prove as active and as clear think
ing a member of the senate, as he has
been in all other walks of his life.

While the Nicaragua canal bill hangs

While the Nicaragua canal bill hangs
fire in the House of Representatives,
the Panamacanal is being pushed along,
and unless the Legislators of the Unit
ed States cease wrangling and get the
northern water way upon a working
basis, they will wake up one day to
find that the isthmus has been pierced
and the Nicaragua project put back
for an indefinite period. The Panama
Canal Company want an extension of
time for their project, and the Colon

tiate for it and also to negotiate about

less to say that he will get his loan
and the company it's extension.

With regard to the other two races
the whole of the rising generation of

communicate between one another in
that language. OF the older generation
the larger number speak English, al

If the professors figures are wrong,
if his estimate of education is wrong,
and if his idea that Asiatics could be-

It is quite possible that with the in
flux of Americans which has taken
place that there may be some 5000 more
to be added. But upon what informa-
ton the Hawaiians are put down at
$4,000 one is at a loss to make out. In
1890, the Hawaiian population was 34,-
1876. In 1884 it was about 100000. So
that here the professor is hopelessly
in error, and creates a thoroughly err
roneous impression. The discrepancies
in the other figures are glaring also.
If allowance is made for increase in
three years the Japanese, Chinese and
Portuguese figures must all be larger,
but in the case of Hawaiians there can
be no allowance for increase. In the
two last census periods there has been
among them a decrease of 1879 and SO
per cent respectively, and the Board of
Health statistics do not warrant the
assumption that the decrease has been
stayed.
Upon this premiss Professor Bryce
commences to reason as to the political
future. He takes the four race groups,
Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese and
Chinese, and states that they are un-
fit for free government. He also states
that mo group can speak the language
of the other, and it will take long
time before they learn to use English
as their common medium of commu-
nication."
To start with, two of these races need
not come into the political question at

figures is by no means clear. Statis-

population is about 100000 to 10000,
but they would be chary of altering the
proportions. Now the only figures
where Mr.. Bryce approaches what is
correct is among the Japanese.
Compare these figures with the fig
ures of the 1896 census and at once
will be seen on what an erroneous ba-

SOMEWHAT OUT.

Prof. James Bryce, the celebrated au-
thor of the American Commonwealth"
his written a paper upon the future gov
eminent of Hawaii, which has been
published in the San Francisco Chron-
icle and a number of other papers. This
letter the Chronicle criticlzes, and in
spite of Professor Bryce's fame, he
certainly deserves criticism for giving
an off hand opinion without having
proper premiss for his argument.
The professors argument is based
upon the numbers of various national
tiles in the Hawaiian Islands. For the
sake of argument it would have been
better for him to have taken the figures
of the census of September, 1885, for
though there has been increase, the
proportions of nationalities are not
very different from what they were in
that year. He puts the population at
1877, 900, but in giving details his figures
come out $4,000 Thus:

THE UNIVERSITIES LAW PROBE SoR,

The trustees OF the University met
yesterday and elected Hon. james G.
MacRae, of Raleigh, Professor of Law.
Judge MacRae is an alumnus of the

school before he went to the bar. He
served with conspicuous ability in the
Legislature. and, as Superior and SUI
preme Court Judge for long term of

and all round ability that caused his
election.
The University has had only two full
Professors of Law since the department
was organized. The late Hon John
Manning organized the school. lie was

Judge Shepherd was a worthy success

experience, taste and learning to follow
these distinguished instructors.
