Plantation Labor.


Hawaii is destined to become
coolie country, with two widely
separated classes of inhabitants
planters and coolies-but this state
ment, in view of the advantages
coming with annexation, can hardly
be borne out by facts. Sugar culture
brings with it such train of other
industrial pursuits that there will
always be enough of professional
men, tradesmen and artisans to make
up so called middle class of goodly
proportions. While sugar is king
and the means of support, directly or
indirectly, of almost everybody in
the country it becomes the bounden
duty of the public to encourage by
legislation and every other reasonable
way the efforts of the planter to
increase his acreage and facilitate
the production of cane. The problem
of obtaining profitable labor is going
to be perpeXing one at no very
distant day, when contracts cannot
be made abroad, and when the cry
for more help will be much louder
than it is now. The only solution in
sight is in granting leaseholds to
free laborers for cane culture. There
is good working force in the fields
at present, thanks to the activity of
the national and private immigration
bureaus, and the mills will put out
product by next July that will aston
ish the most sanguine. twenty-five
per cent. of the population are
engaged in actual manual labor on
the different sugar estates throughout
the group, and thus "the man with
the hoe becomes a large factor in
producing the leading staple of
export.
A WEEKLY representative learned
from Mr.. I. Tanaka, the Japanese
Vice Consul, that there are 10000 of
his countrymen employed on sugar
plantations in the Hawaiian Islands.
TO this large number will shortly be
added 10000 contract laborers, they
being due to arrive before January

in the country is, in round numbers,
10000 souls. Mr.. Tanaka says they
generally contract for $1,000 per
month, but this amount is reduced

found to be good workers. The free
or day laborers usually get $l7.OO per
month, while women, whether free or
contract, are paid $1,000. MIR.
Ianaka is of the opinion that his
people prefer Hawaii to any other
foreign country, as the cost of living
here is cheaper and the climate is
everything that can be desired for out.

size from lack of supporting surface beneath
a vessels bilge. With twisting lift it bore
the stern so high in the air that the deck
slanted like the sides of steeple, forcing
me to drop the halyards and cling to the
rail to prevent falling into the bow. For an
instant l thought of a surety we would
plunge sdelong below the following sea,
pierce it, and be swamped inside the tenth
stroke of my pulse; but the send of the
water flung us partly out of the trough, and
as it passed lifted the bow to a terrible in
cline and, giving us an extra vicious lurch,
left us almost stern out to the run of the
pillows. Had it broken as it reached us, the
tons upon tons of water which would have
fallen on our deck must have driven the
schooner beneath the surface as though she
was no more buoyant than the lead in her
hold. 1t was a wonderful view had of the
ocean from the height of the mighty comber.
The sharpness of it's ridge foretold the COM
ing cascade, and, though it drove us down on
our beams ends and made the schooner
groan like a suffering mortal as she recov-
cred, it was not evil in its effects on me or
mine.
Two things on deck there were which
seemed to catch the infection of motion, one
being the surgeon, who was shot into the
scuppers with violence which did some
thing to sober him, for, like a man waking
from a deep sleep, he threw out an arm and
began rubbing his eyes, muttering words
that might have been protest at his rough
usage. The other was the runaway scuttle
butt which had been captured by the fukes
of the spare anchor. AS the stern of the
Phantom sank to the hollow and the bow
pointed higher than it had ever been my lot
to see it., the barrel, like wild thing wait
ing its chance. dropped from the position in
which it had been held and with rush tore
aft like spent cannon ball. AT the break
of the poop it was met by the lifting stern,
and, retracing its course, drove against the
door of the farecastle hatch with force
that split the panel from top to bottom.
As a ball it spra:lg from the impact. spinning
on its chimes for an instant, the water flying
in circular shower from its now open bung,
then hurrying to larboard amidshlps, it
reached we'll aft in time to be caught by the
mounting stern. With wonderful agility
and seemingly with the instinct Of one mad
to escape environment, even if it ended in
sclf-destruction, it jerked itself end as
though to look about, totterlng 4 falling
again on its side with the life Of the bow.
For a brief space it hung see-sawlng and
gurgling thickly az enough G oking, then it
shot forward with the fury OF bolt. Moth
ing interviewed to check its course, and, as
though it had wings, it ran up the mass Of
rope and wreck which had now become
ianmed near the heel OF the bowsprit,
leaped into the air, cleared the low bulwaik,
and plunged, shrouded in its own spray, into
the frothing sea below.

oners than been forward in the path cf that

A Good Indian.

On Monday last Daniel Fari-
bault, of St Paul, was on his way
home from y mission to Roberts
county, where he had been to
secure the remains of Ishtoko-
haba, or Sleepy Eyes, sub
chief of the Sioux, for reinter-
ment at the town of Sleepy Eye
in Minnesota. Mr.. Fari5ault,
who is a cousin of David Fari-
bault, of Roberts cou sty, had
recommendations from A. E. Van
Hagen, VIM. L. Quinn, G. D.
Gilfillan and Chas. E. Flandrau
of ST. Paul, commencing him to
the Indians Of Sisseton reserva-
ton and others who could aid
him in his purpose, and stating
that the remains were supposed
to be buried IN the vicinity Of
Bullhead lake. Mr.. Faribault
discovered an aged Indian, Red
Eagle, who is known to be 80
years old, and who took him to
the very spot where the remains
of Sleepy Eyes were buried,
which was some distance north
east Of Wilmot. The remains
were secured and Unidentified as
far as possible, and affidavits of
witnesses of the disinterment
was made, and the remains sent
by express to Sleepy Eye. MINI.
The purpose is to place a monu-
ment over the last resting place
of the Indian chief in the town
named after him, and on the site
of which his band had their vii
lage. Sleepy Eyes died in May,
1859, but during his life he was
at all times loyal and friendly to
the whites, and in the early
history Of Minnesota performed
many acts of a friendly and help
ful character for the settlers on
the frontier
