Kansas has sent special dispatch 10
the New York Tribune that she wants
lo,Oo0 harvest hands, 10 whom average
wages OF 81 day will be paid. The
despatch says that young men from the
East are preferred, because they will
remain, establish homes grow np with
the country and swell the population of
the State
There is brilliant idea in that for
Idaho. Whenever occasion arises
for the employment of labor in quan.
tity, import young men of good char
acter from the east. Laborers here
may complain, but there are a hun
dred avenues of, livelihood open tn
him, with which his residence should
have made him familiar. By the
time new job comes on and new
lot OF young fellows are brought in
the first lot will have erasped the
situation and be fitted to dispense
into individual lines of effort. A
repetition of this system would soon
SHOW a marked increase of popula-
lion and sturdy development of the
State. The only trouble is, where
ls labor in demand in any great
Quantity in theistate? We have re-
sources and opportunities enough

hands of selfish nations where there
are spoils to be had as an offering
to the greedy god of trade before
which the world is groveling. Who
is to pass upon people and pro-
nounce sentence upon them as bar,
barians? By what standard shall
they be judged? BY what race will
they be measured? Will you guage
them by grasping commercial impet-
uosity and shrewdness of barter and
invention Of the Occident. or by the
ripened and Unconditional learning of
the Orient whose peoples untold ages
ago practiced arts and attachments
in science which we are just discover
ing? Will you measure civilization
by the Turk or the American, the
Russian or the Dutchman? Is the
conquering nation to be sole and only
jury to hand in a verdict of barbar
ism upon the country it desires to
lay under tribute? Do we desire the
Philippines, their people are barbar
lans and must not stand in the way
of the rule of might. Does England
yearn to possess the gold fields of
Africa, the Boels become barbarians
by verdict of England, and must
fall before the motive of gain with
out law, which motive the Tribune
places under stained glass in the ex-
tract quoted above. We pronounced
the Spaniards barbarians in Cuba
why shall we not sieze upon the TIL
bunes doctrine to gather in Old

ramming civilization into the China

All OF Europe is to retaliate on
the United States by erecting high
tariffs against American goods. The
American tariff has enabled manu-
facturers to make American consum-
ers pay such enormous profits that
goods could be sold in foreign coun-
lrles cheaper than those countries
could manufacture. This, has de-
morallzed foreign factories and de-
stroyed industrial employment. This
III time, would become self operative
against American manufacturers bv
destroying the ability of foreign
countries to buy at any price. With
nigh tariffs adopted by Europe, the
question arises, how does our rela-

SAN JUAN, MAY y, 1901.
Improvement of
San Juan HarDOr,

1t is gratifying to be able to announce
the removal of the obstruction in the month
of the harbor caused by the sunken wreck
Mr.. Deuton, the contractor, says he has
completed his task and that the channel is
now clear. As proof of this he instan-
ces the passing yesterday of the Spanish
steamer Cataluna right over the spot 1cbere
the wreck had been.
This is an important work, long delayed,
aud the shipping and commercial interests
OF the city will rejoice that it has finally
been accomplished. True, the work must
yet PASS the inspection of Colonel Flagler
of the Engineer Corps of the Army and
Captain Barry, representing the Light
mouse Service. but this, if t e contractor is
correct in his statements, will mean but
few days delay in formally announcing the
channel clear.
This work, however, important as it un-
doubtedly is, should be merely the preli-
minary step in the great work of improv-
ing, dredging, aud deepening the harbor Of
San Juan, so that deep sea vessels of
whatever size or class, and whether mer.
chantmen or battleShips, could euter at all
times and find good and secure anchorage
The arguments 1chich could be presented
TO congress ShoOlng the aGViSablllty, the
deSirabiIity, and in fact the absolute neces-
sty of making a suitable appropriation for
this purpose would be unansWerable. The
rale IS that Congress shall pass a river and
harb0r appropriation bill but On2e in two
years, but as owing to the refusal of the
majority to provide for the Western arid
lands, the bill was defeated at the close of
last session, a new bill will undoubtedly
be introduced and pressed to passage in the
coming session next winter
Every effort should be made to secure
an appropriation for San Juan IIarbor in
this bill. Our commercial bodies should
take the mater up. The Resident Com
missioner OF Porto Rico should be supplied
with data to enable him to press the matter
upon the attention of Congress.
1t has been roughly estimated that it
viii cost $2,000,000 to make our harbor
what it snould be. Tbs amount seems
lTge, but in comparison lcith the immense
advantages TO be gained, and the larg sums
which wilt undoubtedly be carried by the
bill fo- far less important objects, zee are
ID TO believe that Congress might be in.
iced to make this appropriation.

San JuanS Sea Serpent
The Thrilling Experience of a
Fishing Party.

A we'll known San Juan Hotel ahd Res
taurant proprietor with small and select
party of conviyial companions went out last
Sunday ON fishing trip.
Preparations had been carefully made by
experienced hands for Jolly good time and
goody supply of tackle and "bait" laid
In for the occasion.
After an hours fishing In the bay with
fair success but at liberal expenditure of
bait, the serenity of the party was disturbed
by the sudden appearance of large specl-
men of the leviathan mOuSter commonly
known as the Sea Serpent
The natives acho were fishing in the same
neighborhood, nearly overcome by fright
hastily beached their boats and took to the
woods, but not so the gallant little party.
They held their ground, or rather water
and calmly-So they say-lcatched the
monster, aoho came in from the mouth OF
Moro and passed them near enough to be
clearly seen and described.
The serpent was about IS feet long and
covered with galvanized iron scales. His
head was of the flatted shape peculiar to
large snakes and one eye was red and the
other green. The man who told the story
says be tried to persuade his companions to
capture him but OvercOmeiby the fumes that
issued from between the snaAes double row
of shark-like teeth they quailed at the criti-
cal moment and allowed the anomaly to
make mis- escape seaward.
The different members of tie party all
agree in the main points of this tale but the
Quiet Man says that he is going to have the
"bait" analysed by the Superior Board of
Health before they lay in a stock for the
next trip.
