RESTRICTING FRANCHISE.

The Constitutional amendment adopt
ed recently in North Carolina has for
its object the disfranchisement of near
~ all the colored voters in the states.
without DISTINGUISHING any of the white
men. From this the Hawaiian can
gather what they can expect from the
Democratic party. What has been be-
gun in North Carolina might be follow
ed out here. The law would not be
framed on the same lines, because the
Hawaiian is not illiterate, but a means
would be taken to bar out the Hawaiian
vote, and yet the Hawaiians court SEN
atOr Tillman who has identified himself
as dead against the franchise to the
colored man of the mainland
correspondent of one of the New
York papers writes from Raleigh, North
Carolina as follows:
"The Democratic Partys leaders do
not mince words as to their intentions
in framing the proposed constitutional
amendment regarding negro disfran-
chisement. According to their own ad-
mission its object is to take away the
Negroes right to suffrage, lawfully or
unlawfully; to disguise this act under
the pretense of an educational dualifi-
cation; to allow all white men to vote
whether illterate or not in short, to
fatally cripple the Republican Party in
the State"
The important section of the amend
ment is Section 4, which provides an
educational qualification for the fran
chise that will bar out most of the ne
groes, and contains the grandfather
clause" that will admit the iliterate
white man. 1t reads as follows:
Every person presenting himself for
registration shall be able to read and
write any section of the constitution in
the English language and before he
shall be entitled to vote he shall have
paid, on or before the LIST day of May of
the year in which he proposes tovote his

LABOR DAY.


Labor Day will be celebrated with
considerable enthusiasm on Monday
and. the Territory of Hawaii will be in
line with the organizations of the main
land. That the movement is an emf
nently good one cannot be denied and
1t is quite in the line of progress,
though in a measure it is a return to
medieval customs.
In the old free cities of Germany and
the low countries into which the traders
and artizans concentrated, and where
they were able to defy the feudalism
of the large land holders and gradually
acquired rights of freedom which they
chung to with the greatest determine
ton. it was the custom to have yearly
display of all the guilds, the cloth work.
ers, the goldsmiths, the butchers and
so on. 1t was in fact a sort of labor
day. when the city united in honoring
the workers upon whose sturdy toll the
prosperity and wealth of the municipal
ity rested.
The Lord Mayors show, in London,
though surviving in a very degenerate
form to the present day. was in some
sort a labor day. The Lord Mayor was
elected from the various wards in the
city of London The various city COM
panies took the greatest interest in the
election. At a time when honors of state
went almost entirely to the nobility,
the Lord Mayor was elected, and he
was as often as not a self made man,
who had passed through his apprentice
ship, had shouted What dye lack, my
masters, what dye lack?" to the pass.
ers by on cheap side. aye and had join
ed in the play when the cry of clubs"
brought all apprentices out of their
shops and booths, to help one of their
number that had been misused by the
servants of some naughty noble
Therefore when the Lord Mayor was
installed it was fitting that the city COM
panies should walk in procession, in all
their bravery, with the emblems of their
trades in full view. the winners the
saddlers, the fishmongers, and the
many trades which went to made up
the wealth of busy city
This was essentially showing honor
to the tradesmen and artizans. But the
glory of Lord Mayors day has departed
as the true meaning of the city guilds
and companies has departed, for now a
man who belongs to a city guild does
not necessarily belong to the trade. He
may be a brilliant soldier or a success
full barrister, or an admiral of renown.
He has to be chosen into some guild
when he gets the freedom of the city.
1t Is good thing to return, then, to
the customs Of the past in honoring
labor and in forming professions whose
marked features are the attributes Of
trades and industries of the city. AS
the city gradually enlarges the num-
Der of these will increase. We shall
have some fifteen different trades re-
presented on Monday. The day will
come when we shall double and treble
the number. The Star wishes every
success to the movement for honoring
labor day. and hopes to see the move
ment take root in various parts of the
Islands, as we'll as in Honolulu.

The jurisdiction of an American court
over contracts made under British laws
to be carried out on a British ship will
be very interesting matter for argu-
ment. The case of the Carnedd Level
Ign is a peculiar one, and will be watch
ed by the whole shipping community
with great interest. The hand of the
shipping master can be dimly discerned
in the matter. If Jack only knew our
style Of shipping master better, he
might be content with his present yes
sci. 1t will not be Jack that will make
money by a change.

Professor Koebele reports that the
white scale has entirely disappeared
from Hawaii. The professors plan in
dealing with pests is to fight them with
their natural enemies. Colonies of lady
bugs were introduced and completely
ate up the white scale. They did the
same thing in Honolulu with the cot
tony cushion scale.

The absurd Pioneer Press shows
its ignorance by abusing Gov. Lind

making the board entirely fusion
When the legislature amended the
law and made the commission elec-

no more than two rnemb ers should

apologize. Yet it STROKES us that a

hardly be called "entirely fusion.''

q poem Oh "Mother England" to the
st. Cloud Journal-Press, and with
bis eyes in "A fine frenzy rolling, says
the ''sons OF Saxon sires'' will stand
shoulder to shoulder for one destiny,
one God. etc. Eviden5ly the other
unfortunat*s outside the sacred pale

Gordon speaks Of the mad Gau''s
"fTotb and blnster.'' 1t st likes US
that the troops under Rocbambeau
and LAFAYETTE and the ships under
DEstaing were not very frothy and
were mighty handy about 1776.
Whst Was Mother England trying
to do IN 1912, when she forcibly im-
pressed American sea men, or during
the Civil War, when the British gov.
esnment was on the side OF the Con-
federates, and even Gladstone said
that Jeffe1 son Davis had formed q
ne" nation? Maybe those we're evi
dences OF love and affection. 1t was
easy to sympathize with Uncle Sam
in 1898. when he neither needed nor
asked help. The history of England
is a glorious one, but it isn't neces.
sary for anyone to get hysterical
just now because the greatest en-
pire the world has ever known il

That BRIDGE.

The city council met Monday evening
to consider bridge matters, and ad-
journed to Tuesday evening. when Geo.
LaFond presented plans furnished by the
Gillette. Herzog Co. The plans were for
a three-span steel bridge over the tracks.
with an 18-foot roadway, estimated
cost $4,000. This did noc include ap-
proaches, w. s. Hewett, a Minuespo
lis bridge builder. who was present.
said the bridge could be built as estimu-
ted. bu: that it WAS not wide enough
and would never satisfy the people. He
said 24-ioot roadway was needed,
and such a bridge, with approaches,
would cost $4,000. After discussion
the council decided to repair the present
bridge, Carlson voting no. Aid. Martin
had some figures purporting to show
that only $4,000 to $4,000 could be
spent for bridge purposes.
Mr.. Hewett offered to assist a commit
TIE tree OF charge to prepare proper spec
itications, but this proposition dida' t
suit Messrs. Martiu, ct al, and didn'tg 20.
Nj. Hewett said dozen could be here
by saturday to bid; advertising wasn't
needed. postal cards would bring them.
Aid. Lane moved that bids he received
Saturday evening, the intention OF
course being that proper specifications
be flied. This also didn't go through,
Alderman Mecusker, Moeglein and Lane
voting aye, Aldermen Peterson, Carlson,
and Martin nay, defeating the motion.
The council Then adjourned.
The council granted the request OF the
fire department to use the assembly room
for reading room, and allowed a
few bills.
