AAb OoON AAoOSG L ~
NIGHT.
The Cyrene Vaudeville Con-
cert Company, advertised to
appear at the court house this
Friday evening, comes here
very highly endorsed for it's
excellence and cleanliness.
Cyrene, the star of the COM
pany, has an international
fame as a novelty performer,
and endorsements shown in
this Office indicate that she
is unquestionably one of the
world s greatest artists. The
grand electrical effects carried
by the company for the pre-
sentation of Dante's Inferno
and scenes of warfare will
form not only a highly enter
tanning performance, but edu-
cational as we'll. We are in
receipt of a letter from the
Hickory Democrat stating
that the company appeared in
Hickory and that representa-

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.

President McFinley's speech a;
Montgomery. Alabama, will be a mem.
Orable one. The occasion Is memoir
able, because II was the best evidence
of the final closing Of the bloody
Chasm.
Governor Johnston made brief
speech, in which he took occasion TO
say that Alabama had nothing to take
back for what she did in 1861, but that
she was back in the Union to stay, and
that she welcomed the President Of the
reunited country to that historic spot.
In the course of his reply, President
Mckinley said: TO be welcomed here,
in the city OF Montgomery, the first
capital OF the Confederate States,
warmly and enthusiastically welcomed
as the President OF common country,
has thrilled me with emotion.
1.-The Governor says he has nothing
to take back. We have nothing to
take back for having kept you in the
Union; we are glad You did not go out
and you are glad you stayed in "
Tremendous appla,Ise)
Still more touching, and patriotic,
and generous were the President S
words at Atlanta, referring to the Con-
federate dead.
And while when those graves were
made, We differed widely about the
future OF this Government, these differ
ences were long ago settled by the ar
bitrament OF arms, and the time has
now come, in the evolution OF senti-
ment and feeling, under the Provi-
dence OF God, when, in the spirit Of
fraternity, We should share with you
in the care OF the graves OF the Con-
federate dead"
To the thousands OF innocent men
and women, who for over a quarter
OF acentury have looked upon the desc
late graves OF their husbands, fathers,
brothers and homes, this offer and as
surance by the Chief OF the Nation,
comes as the recognition OF the fact
that even in political error there may
be manhood and herosm. Those few
loyal soldiers OF the North who were
met with storm OF reproach in 1870.
when they said, "let us bury the Con-
federate dead in deoncy." are now
vindicated.

though his own fortune had been near

FEMALE SUFFRAGE ~ Ntw
ZEALAND.

S.r Charles W Dllks. one Of the
ab.est u Brush siatemen In his new
bOok titled the British Empire"
gives this account Of the working Of
the law cont.rring tho elective fran
ch,so upon the women ~ New Z.a.
land
Close upon ~ per cent OF all the
grown women o; New Zealand are
electors, and In the majority Of the
larger towns the women voters out
number the men They vote Ia al
most as large proportion as the
men, and In three out OF the four
largest towns in New Zealand at the
last election greatly more women
than men went to the poll. OF those
who supported and OF those who OPP
posed the reform both classes have
bpcn surprised IL has failed to bring
about any marked change In the poli-
teal circumstances OF the country
The temperance party forced on the
change, but they have not been much
pleased by It's results, for the women
have voted pretty much a. their men

tlves and the Liberals opposed TO Pro-
hibtion have received as much pro-
portional support from the women
voters as have the ProhibitlOnists. On
the other hand, there can be no doubt
that the interest OF women In politics
has been aroused, that a great impulse
has been given to the education Of wo-
men. and to their participation in
public affairs, the conduct OF which
they have improved In New Zealand
as in South Australia, the enfranchise-
ment OF the women has not helped
that alliance OF Churches-the Church
Df England, the Roman Catholic
Church, and the Wesleyan Church
which has worked against the secular
education system OF the colony"
The remarkable fact about this ra-
dical change in the elective system Is
that there Is now no opposition TO It.
Its creation was a bold move, but 1t Is
successful. 1t may now be said that
in spite OF the blgotry OF ignorant men,
thought, but by usage and custom, just
as the animals are governed, and the
degraded races are governed; In spite
Of the refusal Of many women TO see
and recognize their exalted place in
social. which is political, life. this
great scheme In the line OF the eman-
cipation Of women, has proved success
full. Behind the movement Is some OF
the best blood OF the world, for New
Zealand is largely populated by the
younger sons of good English families
They have met with sore trials They
have suffered from their lack OF ex-
perience in knowing the best conduct
OF life. They have passed through the
speculative period of nations life,
which demoralizes society, breaks up
home, makes happiness something 10
he hoped for, but not realized. And
now they have called women into a
share in the conduct of AFFAIRS, and
made their instincts and virtues ac-
tive political factors.

SKILLED LABOR.

1t was said in 1895, when the Osaka
Watch Company of Japan was organ

machinery that could be obtained in
the United States, that this machinery
worked by the cheap skilled labor OF
the Japanese. would produce watches
at cost that would drive the Ameri-

Japanese SO said In 1895. We refused
to agree with him on the ground that

THE CHINESE EXCLUSION CASE

The laymen desire to know the gis
of the decision OF the Supreme Court
On the Chinese habeas corpus cases. II
II this, and IL expressed clearly, in the
conclusion Of the opinion OF the Court
That at the present time there are no
Federal Courts established in this Ter
ritOry by Congress that can adjudicate
matters arising under the Federal laws,
Of which the Chinese Exclusion Act Is
one, and that the Hawaiian Courts, not
being Federal Courts, have no jurisdic-
tiOn in the case. The men detained
by Chinese Inspector Brown are left
in his hands, or II Collector McStocker
in. by operation of the Annexation law,
a Federal officer, they are left in his
hands.
The difficulty the Court meets with
in making any practical direction in
the matter is, that it has no power to
suggest or direct, for II has no jurisdic-
ton. IL cannot assume to pass upon
Collector McStocker's power under this
Federal law, and, Of course, It cannot
direct the action of Chinese Inspector
Brown, because he holds Federal Of
fee.
This unfortunate situation Is created
by the haste with which the Annexa-
ton law was drawn. Covering, as that
law does, a great variety OF interests
and relations, 1t is fortunate that there
are not more defects in 1t.
The decision OF the Court leaves
Chinese Inspector Brown and Collect
or McStocker, IL he now has Federal
side to his Office, In an embarrassing
position.
They have these Chinese immigrants
on their hands. What will they do
with them? The Annexation Act does
not apparently give them the physical
means for executing the laws. There
10 no Federal Marshal here, or Federal
policeman, to execute the orders of
these officers. We are considering the
'egal situation only. The Marshal OF
these Islands may seize these immi-
grants or prevent them from landing,
but he has no authority to do SO, as he
is not Federal officer. Nor can any of
the men connected with the customs
department act, for they are territorial
ofhcers. The Constitution does not pro-
vide for the holding OF Federal and
state Office by the same person, when
there may be conflicting duties.
Until Congress acts 1t may be said
that there Is no expressed law govern
ing these new relations of the Terri
tory to the Federal Government. and
the Judges must make" law as best
they can.

In which there were excellent reasons

workingmen against the destructive
competition Of cheap labor when the
educated economists told the working

told that they did not understand the

The free traders OF America have
persistently told the workingmen that
the use of their brains was the best
economic protection that they needed.
While they have been protected against
foreign manufactured articles, they
have never been protected against the
enormous importation OF skilled labor

this skilled imported labor from

ing the astounding export OF American

WIDE TIRES.

Local Law.

LAW.
There Is no question concerning the
information at hand in the department
Of the Quartermaster for the United
States armies on the subject OF certain
Hawaiian laws. There is ocular de
monstration of this in an exhibit at
Emmes wharf, where the United States
live stock sailing ship Tacoma Is dis
charging. A dray with all the army
identification marks was there on view
yesterday morning and created quite q
sensation. II Is for the transfer of the
heaviest goods and will always be
drawn by four mules. The dray has
three-inch axles. In consequence OF
this 1t has six-inch tires. As the
wheels do not rack, the wagon, which
Is extremely heavy in every way, IL
do the roads good wherever 1t may he
used. This monster truck IL only one
OF number OF new vehicles aboard
the Tacoma and all built with q view
to complying with the Hawaiian law on
wide tires. When Camps Mckinley
and Otis had $500 men each the wagon
traffic to the places, with the ordinary
tires, cut up the roads in fearful style.
The destruction almost maddened the
road makers Of the district. With tho
wide tires the Government traffic will
be a distinct aid to the road depart
ment.

More on Mynahs.

A number OF Honolulu residents
formerly Of the Australian colonies tell
Of the mynah birds. They say that in
the colonies the mynah ia known and
liked as whistler and that killing the
fighter is an offense against the law.
AS yet no one has come forward with
information on teaching the birds to
make music. The most that can be
learned under this head is that In In
dia they are really taught.
