GOVERNMENT MAIL NATTER

On the transport Hancock which
arrived in this port two weeks ago
came large iron safe for the use
Of the postoffice department in this
Territory This safe which weighed
several thousand pounds. came as
mail matter. Recent copies of Chi
cago papers contain a dispatch from
indianapolis. Indiana. which describe
the sending through the mails from
that city of large Office desk con-
signed to Manila for use of the post
Office in that CITY. The desk sent to
Mania while not as heavy as the safe
sent to Honolulu was described IS be-
ing about the weight of a piano.
Both of these heavy articles which
were sent by mail. paid no postage.
merely having on them a franked en-
velope bearing the name of the con-
signee and the destination of the arti-
Gle. The reason given by the depart
ment for sending the safe and desk ny
mail was that by so doing the gov
eminent saved the cost of transporta-
ton. But did it? According 10 the
report of the Postmaster General the
deficit of the postal department for
the last fiscal year ending June 30th,
1900, was s5.3S5.6SS. That is, il cost
the government s5.SS5,6SS more to
collect and distribute the mails than
it received for the service. The Post
Office Department received no revenue
for carrying the big iron safe TO Ha.
waii or the oak desk to the Philip
pines. but il had to pay the railroads
and steamship companies a good sum
for transporting them. The eumber-
some articles were carried in postal
car and had to be handled by railway
mail clerks along the route.
The sending of these pieces of Office
furniture free" by mail is only an in
cident IN a most reprehensible policy
that not only leaves the balance on
the wrong side of the postoffice ledger
at the end Of each year and makes
bad showing for the Postoffice Depart
ment but also tends to impair the eff
cheney OF the postal service. The de
partment is loaded down each year
with tons of franked matter in addi-
ton TO ali sorts OF equipments for the
various departmental offices of the
government
OF course the safe for Hawaii aud
the desk for the Philippines could not
be classified as 'first-ciass mail mat
ter" unless the government wishes to
give the public an object lesson in the
preparation OF 3 palpable fraud upon
the postal department They had 70
right in the mails under any CLASH
fication. They are not ''mailable mat
ter" under the most liberal construc-
ton Of any postal Law or regulation
The railway postal cars were not con-
structed for the transportation of such
mail matter"
II the Postofice Department is to
be put on q self-sustaining basis the
government should first reform its
own practices.

MISSING CENSUS STATISTICS.

On the first Of December the Re
publican received from its Washing
ton correspondent the bulletin on Ha-
walls census issued by the census
bureau at Washington. the full text
OF which was published exclusively
in this paper on December End.
The Republican az once noted that
while claiming 10 be a complete report
giving ali details OF the census of Ha-
wall. the bulletin failed TO give any
information about the nativity of the
inhabitants OF the Islands This was
especially marked in view OF the large
emigration from Japan in 1898 and
1899. The census OF the Islands for
1890 showed a population of 10000
and that Of 1896 a population of 1O9.-
600.
since 1896 attracted marked attention
in the states as well it might if it had
been a legitimate growth of white
residents. The Republican was anx-
ious to know what the increase in the
white and native population had been
and therefore wrote to its Washington
correspondent instructing him TO visit
the census bureau and endeavor to
ascertain what had become Of the sta
tistics showing the nativity of the in
habitants Of Hawaii The nativity
tables Of every census are among the
most important Of all and it seemed
very strange that they should have
been omitted In taking the census of
this Territory. Our correspondent
visited the census bureau and the re-
suit is contained in the following spe-
cial message via San Francisco re-
ceived on the Peking;

Native Hawaiians are not given mu>h
more representation on the grand jury
just drawn than they were on the
former one drawn by High Sheriff
Brown. There are a number of able
natives in the Island of Oahu who are
fully as competent to sit on the grand
jury as are the white residents. Why
are they ignored?
The Honolulu republican. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1900-1902, 1901-01-20

The Republican has received private
information which leads il TO believe
that an effort was made through the
officials OF this Territory to suppress
all information in the census report of
Hawaii on the nativity OF the people
The reason for this was to suppress
the fact of the importation OF thou
sands OF japanese contract laborers
after annexation had become fait
accomph. The increase of $4,000 IN
the six years from 1890 20 1896 was
due almost entirely to the importation
OF contract lahorers In order to know
TO what extent Japanese were brought
10 these Islands during the so-calied
interregnum-Jhat is from Aug. 18th.
1895. to June lsth, 1900. The Repub-
lican set an investigation on foot. and
rs result il is ensbled 10 show that
10000 OF the $4,000 increase OF popula-
tion from 1896 to 1900 was due to the
importation of Japanese contract ia
boners during the period named.
From August 18th. 1898. the date Of
the hoisting of the United States fax
following annexation. TO January LIST,
1899. 1921 contract Japanese and 200
free laborers were brought here. For
the year 1899. 25.7ss contract laborers
were snloaded on these shores or
more than 1000 per month for the
entire year. For the first three months
of 1899. ALSO were contracted to ar.
