THE SAILOR PROBLEM.

A letter written by a seaman of eX-
perience, who has practically gone
through the steps of sea life, till sue
cess has given him rest and leisure
ashore, appears in this issue. 1t is from
the practical men that light upon the
sailors life is thrown. The Star cor
respondent points out that the sailor,
as often as not, knows more of the
methods of shore life than the officers
of deep sea vessels, and that if a
change is to come it must come from
above. If the captains of deep water
ships want sailors, they must treat
their sailors like men, and not bully
them themselves, nor allow their off,
GERS to bully them.
The suggestion that the middle man
should be done away with is a good
one. IAN Old Seaman" says that cap
tains should advertise for employees In
the same manner as any other legiti-
mate business advertises. He further
suggests that notice boards should be
put up at the Sailors Home and the
ships, character of crew, rate of wages
and so forth, posted upon these. This
would form a sort of sailors exchange,
to which sailors out of work might go
in order to find out what billets are to
be had.
That the discussion opened up in con-
sequence Of The Stars investigations
as to the unemployed will do good is
evident. 1t has brought out a variety
of opinions pro and con, upon the sub
ject of middle men, AS The Star I'M
derstands it, Captain Bray does not
propose TO do away with the middle
man, but he intends to show how the
duties of the middle man can be carried
out in manner which win be satisrac-
tory to the seaman and the skipper.
AS was remarked last Saturday, every
one who takes an interest in the sailor
will take an interest in the work Of
Captain Bray.

Judge Silliman, in a communication
90 the Washington Star, speaks of the.
-Hokupu" system of labor. The Judge
has fallen into a slight error A "Ho-
kupu" is reception where the Hawai-
ians come to some notable person and
present time with gifts. These may
vary from a bullock to a dozen ba-
nanas. In later years it even became
The custom to drop money into a Gala
bash. instead OF the gift of produce.
The term the judge was aiming at was
''Oku pau" In this n certain stint Of
work is given, and when it is completed
the laborer can go home. Under GER
tain circumstances the system works
well. and the laborer prefers it to reg
ular labor by the hour, as by working
hard he can gain time for himself, and
quit work earlier. 1t does not answer
with class of labcrers who are care
less and scamp their work. In such
cases il only leads to disagreement.

RIOTOUs ASSEMBLIES.

The japanese problem is constantly
cropping up. 1t was only the other day
that the Japanese of Lahaina went on
strike, and tried to overawe the author
files Of the plantation by a display of
force. Some months ago the Japanese
upon the Kahuku plantation had a dis
agreement with their Chinese co-work-
ers, and the affair resulted in an
emeute during which several Chinese
We're killed or seriously injured. Now
we have a case where, according to the
plantation account a man was struck
but was not injured, while the Japan
csc account says he was. But the mer-
its of the case are not in controversy.
No sooner do the Japanese have what
they consider a grievance, but they Inn
mediately do what they did at Lahaina,

After a long career, crowned by great
financial success James Campbell, who
has for many years figured as one OF
our most prominent moneyed men, has
Joined the great majority. Starting
from humble beginnings the late Mr.
Campbell acquired a fortune valued ir
the millions. He was one of the largest
landowners in the country, and posses
sed a considerable quantity of city
property. Though the foundation Of
his fortune was in the sugar industry,
he eventually withdraw from It and
made his investments in other direc-
tons, some of his vast fortune being
invested on the Mainland. AS an in
stance of the ability to acquire wealth
in spite of apparently insurmountable
difficulties, James Campbell was a not
able example among the many success
full men of the Western Hemisphere.

and make a display of force to overawe
the authorities.
This proneness to rush to force Is
one of the worst characteristics of the
japanese. They have their consul; they
have their labor inspector, and an
appeal to the one is followed by an in
vestigation by the other, or by both.
If, every time an accident happened, or
man in authority misbehaved, as mis-
behave such men viii, people of other
nationalities proceeded to show force,
we should have a pretty turbulent time
from one end of the Islands to the
other.
The lower classes of Japanese, ac-
cording to the japanese papers, are con-
stantly giving trouble to their own
government. They have lost their do
cility with their increasing prosperity.
Outwardly they are most polite, but
they are prone to sudden lawless acts.
They must be educated into the Idea
that the law and not themselves, is the
appeal for any wrong done, and that to
assemble in a riotous manner, and to
use threats is in itself breach of the
law. The sooner this lesson is thor
oughly inculcated, the better it will be
for our future.

1t now seems extremely probable
that before the close of this session of
Congress the much needed Pacific
cable will be authorized. Though this
is decidedly Republican project the
Democrats in Congress are not dis
posed to make party matter of it.
and it is not believed that they will
carry their usual opposition tactics 10
the extent of trying to prevent the
forging of this necessary link binding
us to Hawaii and the Philippines. The
House committee is divided between
government construction and the gov
eminent subsidy of a private company.
The Senate bill is for government con-
struction and the weight of argument
would seem to be in its favor since it
would be cheaper in the end and make
the cable under permanent govern
ment control. Our naval and CONNER
cial interests make this cable an i'm
perative necessity and no time should
be lost in authorizing its construction.
1t will be the first cable under the
Pacific and the first one ever laid by
the United States.

The Democratic discontinue is in
tensified by the promptness with
which President Mckinley forwarded
to London the request of President
Kruger for mediation. He even added
an earnest wish that a way might be
found to bring about peace. The cour-
teous refusal of England to accept the
proffered mediation was expected, but
the attitude taken by our government
disarms those kickers who have been
urging it to stop the war and who
have insisted that a secret Anglo
American Alliance existed.

Two or three of the windiest PROPOSE
tons in Congress are trying to make
Popocratic political capital out of the
investigation of the Idaho mining riots
which We're suppressed by United
States troops. 1t is noted that the
Idaho representative, who is a Demo
crat, and the Western Democrats in
general are taking little part in the
investigation for they recognize that
the presence of the troops was neces-
sary and their course fully justifiable
1t is not strange that Eastern men
who could swallow the Chicago plat
form should prefer anarchy in the dis
tant mining fields to law and order en-
forced by government troops. But il
the crisis had arisen here in the East
near their own homes, these statesmen
would have been the first to wall 70,
the protection of troops.

One of the most valuable features OF
the new currency law is the provision
which authorizes the organization of
national banks with a minimum capt.
tai of $25, 900. This is certain to result
in an extension of the banking system
in small communities where such
facilities are much needed. 1t will
give thoroughly safe banking privi-
leges to scores of neighborhoods where
they have hitherto been impossible.
In the first few days after the bill be-
came law a large number of appli-
cations for authority to organize such
banks We're filed in Washington, most

As the head of the board of naval
strategy the duties of Admiral Dewey
will not be excessively burdensome.
and it is just that they should not be.
His duty will be mainly to plan our
sea campaigns in time of war. and as
we have no naval war scheduled for
the time that the hero of Manila may
reasonably expect to live. he will not
have to work over the eight-hour
limit But if an unforeseen war should
be forced upon us from any quarter.
what man had the American people
rather see directing our great naval
power than George Dewey?
