NEGROES FOR THE
FIELDS IN HAWAII
j. B. Collins and John Hind
Seek Labor in the
South.

NEW ORLEANS, Ga.), August g.
j. %. Collins and John Hind, Hawaiian
sugar planters. reached New Orleans
two days ago on a mission to secure
negro labor for the Hawaiian sugar
fields. The gentlemen have already
begun work and several negro families
of Monroe, La, have decided to risk
the trip. The planters will visit sew
eral Southern States. They are careful
In selecting their darkies, picking out
young negroes with small families.
They have refused to sign any city ne
groes on the ground that the blacks
in the cities are of a lower moral STAN
dard and impregnated with the anar-
chist ideas which inspired the murder
er Robert Charles In his recent horrible
crimes in New Orleans. The negroes
under contract to Messrs. Hind and
Collins are promised $40 per month in
Hawaii and they will have to relm-
burse by slow payments half their
TRANSFORMATION or $50. They will be
given houses and gardens to work.
Mr.. Collins. before going to Honolulu
nine months ago, was Louisiana's State
Chemist, and one of the experts at the
Audubon Sugar Experiment station.
The gentlemen will also secure negroes
In Porto Rico.

A TRIBUTE TO VOLNEY ASHFORD.

He came from lands where mighty SHOWS
Bend meath their crushing weight the

Where over fields of ice there blows the
wintry hurricane
Where battling with the fierce north gale |
Or dwelling the forests down,
The sturdest sinews can prevail alone.
Before the unequal task the weak must |
fail.

cold northland
Where Quebec bids stern defiance to the !

His tissues hardened with his years
The boy to rugged manhood grown

Where mists of honor hide the flood of
tears.
Then youthful Volney Ashford stood
With the regalia of his peers bedecked;
Anc out before him flowed
A worlds triumphant years.
Stirred by his spirit turbulent,

And Oahu benignant bent her smiles

The Krupps beat the world in max
ing light field artillery" said one Of the
English officers in New Orleans looking
after stock shipments to a newspaper
man of that city. II don't know any
good reason why the Germans should
surpass the English or American me-
chanics In that Respect" he continued,
but the fact remains that they have
set the pace ever since the modern
light, quick firing gun was developed.
The very latest piece they have turned
out is a wonder. 1t is an inch and a
half calibre field gun, built on the
take down principle. When a bolt Is
drawn 1t comes to pieces and makes a
load for three mules, one carrying the
gun proper. one the wheels and one the
trail and recoil cylinders. The piece
can be reassembled without tools In
less than two minutes. The breech
mechanism is extremely ingenious. One
jerk of a lever throws 1t open, elects
the empty shell and pushes in a fresh
cartridge which has been deposited on
sort of carrier in the rear. All the
gunner has to do then is to shove the
lever back into place and pull the
trigger"

HAWAllANS AND LABOR.

II is often urged by demagogues that
the native Hawaiian has been crowded
out of his old avocations by white ra-
pacity and unfriendliness. The charge
is never true, for an examination of the
facts will show that where the natives
have lost ground the fault is due to
their own unwillingness to meet the re-
quirements of q commercial civiliZa-
ton.
The point Is being shown on the wa
terfront every day. For years the ma
tives had a monopoly of loading and
unloading ships. They did good work
and got fair pay. Lately wages have
gone up somewhat with two results
which, in the nature of things, are
bound to be unfortunate for Hawaiian
labor. In the first place, having
taste OF blood, the native dockmen are
demanding more and more despite the
fact that Japanese coolies will do the
same work for much less; secondly.
having regular accommodations of good
pay while they work they lay off to
spend II on creature comforts, caring
nothing how busy their employers may
be or how much their aid may be re-
quired. Finally such men have to go
sive and uncertain.
The whole thing is a source of mel
ancholy to old friends of the Hawaiian
but there seems to be no external
remedy. The cane fields call for active
hands but no Hawaiian responds. The
trades are open but the Asiatics, by
superior thrift and industry. are grad
ually possessing them. Even the old
Hawaiian taro fields are being worked
by Chinese. The wide ocean teens
with fish, the market price of the edi-
BILE is high and the Hawaiian used to
be an expert fisherman. Why does he
not man his fleets of canoes and seek
the spells of the finny chase? If he
fishes at all he lays off until the pro-
ceeds of the catch are spent, never
thinking for a moment that he ought
to do business in a business-like way
And all the while he looks askance al
the haole whom he thinks has deprived
him of his birthright.
The Hawaiians have many able lead
ers but not many serviceable ones
There are leaders who teach the beau
ties of ofIice-holding and the delight!
of political revenge and who draw has
heesh pictures of lazy elysiuns [,
come. but there Is no apostle of indus
try and thrift; no native Ben Franklin

Committee Visiting State Institutions
but Members Won't Talk.

Fremont Goodwine, chairman Of the COM
mittee appointed by the Governor TO in
vestigate the financial needs of state in
situations. was at the Denison Hotel last
night. He came to the city from Bloom
ington, where the committee yesterday
sity. The committee has yet to visit the
School for Predetermined at Fort Wayne,
the Eastern Hospital for the Insane at
Richmond. the Soldiers and Sailors Or
phans Home at Knightstown, the Reform
School for Boys at Plainfield and the diff
ferent state institutions located in this
city.
The committee will not recommence it's
work until Thursday of the coming week,
az Representative Artman, of Lebanon,
who is member Of the committee, has to
try lawsuit at Lebanon the first of the
night that the committee would give out
no information regarding the apprOpria-
lions IT would recommend in advance of the
report which IL will submit to the Legis-
lature early In the session. The committee
is working hard to have, the investigation
completed very early in January, and to
do this IL may be necessary to do some
work during the holidays Senator Good
wine said last night that the committee
had thus far worked every night where it
was possible 10 accomplish anything.
Senator GoOdwine expressed himself as
favoring a primary election law. He be-
lfeves one can be made to operate success
fully. In his own county-the county of
Warren-they practically have a primary
election law. as they nominate their county
and township candidates by the Australian
system of voting.

WILL OPPOSE ORDINANCE
THE COUNCIL JUDICIARY COMMIT
TEE Is AGAINST 1T.
Members Incensed over IN EDITORIAL
Meetings OF the City Boards
Municipal Affairs.

Councilmen Negley. Evans and Bernauer.
constituting the councilmanic committee
or judiciary. met last night in the office
OF Chairman Negley to consider the gas
ordinance. recently introduced in the
Council. which provides that there shall
be no Pay when no gas is furnished. News
PAPER reporters were present. but the
councilmen would not deliberate the ques-
ton or formulate a report while the re-
porters were in the room.
The three members Of the committee all
expressed themselves opposed 70 the or
dinance saying that the recent decision
of the Appellate Court would give the city
a decision on which to bring mandamus
proceedings against the gas companies to
compel them to furnish more gas. They
also believed the contract now in vogue
is as good as any that could be adopted
and should it be tempered with or a new
ordinance passed the situation would be
even worse than il is at present. The COM
mittee may decide on some recommended
lions in its report to the Council. but the
members refused to discuss them last
night. The report opposed the ordinance.
The three councilmen, as we'll as others,
are greatly incensed at an editorial APP
pearing in a morning paper Thursday
ed the statements In the editorial as lie,
and Councilman Negley said the members
of the Council had just grounds on which
to bring suit for Islander.
