Cause of DesertiOn.

Cause of DesertiOn.
The grievance is generally an assault by
the oVerseer upon some laborer, fine con-
sidered unjust, a compulsion used to obtain
unwilling work, or a privilege withdrawn.
The grievance is to the individual and the
crowd make it their own. 1t is not gen.
orally felt very deeply and in most cases
a little tact smooths out everything, and
the even flow of events is again attained.
The question may be asked, Why, II
they are contented, do they desert? There
are several reasons. Natural causes may
render the work diSagreeable and burden
scne, as rain, cold, mud and overgrowth of
weeds. A severe ovcrseer will render all
discontinued, and the boldest will desert
Accumulated debt is a prolific cause; pure
laziness is another. The prospect of get
ting better wages and the allurement Of be-
ing with friends entice many away from
their contract master
.'They came here not to settle and make
homes, but In as few years as possible to
accumulate sufficient to enable them to re-
turn TO their native country with capital
enough to live on in manner superior to
their own class at home. With this object
in view, as a class, they are saving to an
extreme degree. Japanese will live on
from 81 to ST per month: q Chinaman, from
81 to S11 per month; and a European, S11
to $l3. The latter only is likely to be as
simulated and become a desirable citizen"
Under date of December 3, Consul Gen
eIal Haywood of Honolulu transmits tables
compiled by Mr. Taylor, showing the num-
her and nationality of iaborers. The total
number October 81, 1899, says Mr.. Hay

were under contract and 15.346 day labor
ers. Japanese number 23654; Chinese s.

amounts of money during the term of their
contract. 1t is not unusual for Chinese and
Japanese when leaving for the orient to
have in their possession all the way from
500 to $3.50 money saved. Some even are
credited with larger amounts, and this
means Il great deal to them in their own
country. 1t is the reverse with others:
they have not a cent, are always in debt,

have to borrow their passage money from

Woman's Idea Of Mans Courage.

It is conceded fact what woman
most admires in man is courage.
That indomitable courage which causes
him to toy with the perplexing pro-
blems Of life as he would with the
cherry lips Of blooming maiden;
courage that gives him the presence
of mind, should the lines break, to
seize the tail of a runaway horse.
Courage to give his girl an additional
hug in the presence of her father when
he chances to run upon them unex-
pectedly. Courage to enter his neigh
boris room at hotel at midnight and
assist the poor, sleepy father in walk
ing the colicky baby until the first ap-
proach Of dawning day; courage to sit
by and swallow the prophecies of his
mother-in-law in regard to his future
welfare; courage to show his superior
skill in fencing with broom when his
wife is sick and the servants fail to
put in their appearance; courage to
leap out Of bed in winter time when
the thermometer stands ten below zero
and walk barefooted across Eve yards
Of oilcloth to scare o mouse out Of the
bureau drawer; courage to mash a.fy
on the slick bald head Of his father.in-
law should the opportunity present
itself; courage to leap through the
wincow Of passing train running at
the rate Of thirty miles an hour, and,
amid showering bullets, seize the bold
outlaw and hurl aim from the cars,
after receiving such injuries as bull

In fact, man must have such cour-

which may happen in the future, even

Our "Whitc Ribboncrs' have gold

tion is the encouragement Of purity Of

The influence of strong, noble wo-
man is beyond calculation. She gains
this sweet power over strong men, not
where crowds are gathered together,
but in the sacred quietness of the

all that is pure and :elevating, but
above all our object and aim is the
suppression Of intemperance- drunk

at straw we should avail ourselves
of every opportunity to push on our
worthy cause. The ocean is made Of
drops Of water, the land of grains Of
sand; the combined influence of the
women of South Carolina can win q
glorious victory for prohibition-tem-
perance. God hasten the day when
this temptation will be out Of the way
Of our youths. the coming men. It
stalks around devouring wolf, yet
often in sleeps clothing the punch
room or bowls is made most attractive,
cut glass sparkles, while hands fill the
glasses, feminine lips invite men,
young and old, to-sometimes their
doom-for I've been told oftcntimes
the thirst kindled in this fashionable
way burns on until quenched behind
the scene or later in the night with
drinks stronger. We fear before the
judgement seat many man will ex-
plain his fall as did Adam of old, with,
"The woman gave me and I did

Women, arise shake off your
lethargy, open your eyes to the oppor-
tunities for good around you. Weld
your influence for the cause of tenn
perancc, and surely victory will fol-
low. The prohibition cause is now
led by man in every way worthy of
the high honor bestowed on him. A
man with executive ability and wide
experience. The cause will be wisely
managed by him, but we plead not for
the man, tis prohibition-anything
that will remove this curse out of the
easyoreach of our men that We long
and pray for. Mothers and sisters,
take this temptation from the road
that leads your young sons and broth
srs to manhood. we admit the d;spen-
sary is an improvement on the saloon,
but that has been tried and found
wanting. Now the time is ripe for an
other step onward, upward.
