AID FOR HAWAIIAN PLANTERS.
Japanese laborers to Be Imported to
Work the Large Farms.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The Jap
anese government will shortly issue
an edict permitting Japanese subjects
ed States or to the Hawaiian islands.
The edict will state that only law
abiding. thrifty and Industrious peo-
pie can secure admission to the
United States or to Hawaii, and it
will forbid more than sixty Japanese
going on any one ship. This informa-
tion was given today to Mr.. Taylor,
assistant secretary OF the treasury.
by kogoro Takhira, the Japanese min
lister to the United States. Mr.. TAX
hira had long conference with Mr..
Taylor in relation to emigration and
the wording of the edict, which his
government has asked him to advise
them in.
Two years ago a large number OF
Japanese sought admission to the
United States, coming by way of Can
adian ports. So numerous were these
arrivals that the treasury department
ordered an in vestigation, and discov-
cred that the japanese We're arriving
by the ship load. An arrangement
was made with the Canadian officials
by which the treasury department
was permitted to station emigration
inspectors at CANADIAN ports, and hun
dreds of the Japanese We're deported
or not allowed to land from the ships.
This condition was brought to the at
tehtion of the Japanese government,
and through the Japanese minister
here it was informed that the United
States officials were acting under the
rights and under the authority of an
enactment of congress.
The object of today's call by the
Japanese minister upon Mr. Taylor
was to inquire If the edict were issu
ed objection would be raised to the
entry of the Japanese to this country
or their passage through it TO Hon
lulu. Mr.. Taylor explained that
none of the japanese could be brought
either to the United States or Homo
lulu /. they were under contract to the
planters or any one else. He said
however, that no objection could be
raised If they sought entry as indi
viduals, if not afflicted with conta
gious diseases. and were neither pau
pers or ex-convicts. They will have
to take their chances of securing EN-
ployment after their arrival at Hon
olulu for If II is shown that they
come to Honolulu under contract the,
will be deported because of the con
tract labor law.

the statement that all the commercial

on the part of these unions for the es-
tablishment of a republic, but only of
the granting of concessions. This is
because they do not want a republic"

A New Way to Get Public office.

A case that promised to give seri-
GUS trouble to the postoifice depart
ment has just been settled in a way
that ought to receive the enthusiastic
approval of the public At Month
cello, Wayne county, KY, Mrs. Mary
Tiggle has for several years presided
at the stamp window and handed out
letters. Mrs. Tiggle seems, however,
to have received her appointment
from a Democratic administration.
wherefore j. l.. Kennedy, stanch Re
publican. conceived the idea that she
ought to be deposed in order that he
might have the office
The matter was laid before Con
gresham BOreing, who didn't like it
a bit. He recognized Mr.. Kenne-
dy's claims, but Mrs. Tiggle was
widow and the authorities at Wash
.lgton have been inclined to assume
liberal attitude toward widowed
postmistresses. The lady was gently
urged to resign, but she refused ana
the congressman procrastinated.
Whenever Kennedy became impatient
he was put off with one excuse or an
other and thus matters drifted for
months and months.
few days ago Mr.. Boreing receiv-
final communication from Mr.. Ken
nedy who said Mrs. Tiggle was ready
TO quit and the latter being question
ed on the subject admitted that pub
lie Office had ceased to have any fur
ther charms for her. In fact she
had consented to become Mrs. Kenne-
dy, and was willing that her husband
should succeed her at Monticello as
postmaster.
Mr. Kennedy has, therefore, receiv-
ed the appointment, and it Is to be
hoped that his course may serve as
an example to all single men who shall
hereafter attempt to supersede wild
ows in public office. How finely this
southern gallantry contrasts with the
case of the man who in the rush for
land at Lawton crowded ahead of the
Kansas telephone girl.
