The announcement that Oahu College,
during the year to come, will branch
out in the way of lectures and enter
tainments, ought to please the friends
of that historic seat of learning. 1t has
seemed to us that the College has kept
itself too much in the shade of its
sequestered campus, and that its health
requires that it seek more of the sun
light of publicity. People come to Ho-
nolulu and live for long time with the
vagueist ideas of Oahu College and of
what 1t stands for. Leading schools in
other places are always in evidence
through lectures given in town. forensic
contests, prize debates, dramatic or
musical Entertainments, but save at
commencement and at field days on its
own grounds Oahu College does nothing
to get the eye and ear of the commu
nifty. Some of the old-timers know it
well, but interest in a big local school
should not be confined to single ele-
ment In the neighborhood but should be
cultivated in the widest practicable
field.

CHINESE LABOR.

The decision of the Supreme Court,
vesting in Congress the control of Ter
ritories, makes it possible to get special
| legislation for the admittance of Chi
rlese labor TO these Islands. Whether
there is any proba bility that such a
course win be taken by Congress de-
ponds upon the fate of the broader
proposition to annul or modify the Elk
clusion Act If the influences against
Chinese labor are strong enough to sus-
tain the Geary law as whole they will
also be strong enough to prevent tae
introduction of Chinese here for special
purposes.
Those who are seeking more Chinese
for Hawaiian field labor would
strengthen their case at Washington by
urging the proviso that none of the in
tended immigrants nor any others of
their race should be permitted to en-
gage in the trades. The American voter
does not care particularly If Cinnamon
till his fields and hew his wood. He is
not cut out for a peasant and he does
not want his son to be one; but he does
object to Oriental competition in skilled
labor, Whatever his reasons may be,
the soundest economic principles sus-
tain him. The highest duty of the State
next to self-preservation, is to keep its
citizens busy and contented, not by
direct aid or employment, but by so
shaping its economic affairs as to in
crease and diversity all the legitimate
means of public industry and give the
willing man or woman a chance. To
import cheap skilled labor is to lessen
A.
are entitled to the right of way in re-
turn for the contributions they make
to the defence and support of national
institutions. The same would be true
of unskilled labor except that it has
now become choice. not between
Americans and foreigners so much as
between one kind of foreigner and an
other. The rough and hard work of the
Eastern States is mainly done by Ital-
ians, Hungarians Poles and the riffraff
of other European countries. Between
these and the Chinese people whose
industry and integrity =; proverbial-
choice is easily made. If the latter
crowd out the beetle-browed ruffians
from the slums of Europe, the rioters,
strikers and criminals who are dumped
on our shores with every incoming ship,
the better for American institutions.
So far as these Islands are concern
ed the prosperity of every white man
here would be enhanced by the intro
duction, with the trades restriction not
ed, of 5000 Chinese field hands per year
for a term of years. The newcomers
would steady the labor market, reduce
the peril of strikes. be peaceabIe and
Industrious. The welfare of the Islands
calls for them and Congress could do
Hawaii no better service than to per-
NIT it to bring them in.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.

We are much of the opinion that
irrespective of the rock crusher issue,
the insane asylum ought to be moved
beyond the limits of the city. We take
the same view of the Queens Hospital,
though that. of course, is a private in
stitution, and can stay or go as it
pleases. AS for the asylum 1t was
originally put a long way from town
because of the wish TO get for it's in
mates the benefit of rural quiet Alti-
tude was also desirable in this climate,
but the question of roads interviewed
and a location on the level had to be
taken. With the lapse of years the
town began to encroach upon the asy-
lum and now considerable number of
people are living in its vicinity. More
are to come. This must make the site
less and less desirable.
Supt. Boyd is of the opinion that the
asylum would do well to sell it's pres
ent location for the large sum it ought
to bring and put up modern structures
on public land further out An ideal
site might be had just behind and a
trifie above Punchbowl-a place of cool
air, quiet and magnificent vistas-ideal
also of encroachment There are sites
on the lower slopes of Diamond Head
and far up the Nuuanu valley on the
high rise at the foot of the precipitous
ridges. The insane would be better off
there than where they are now detained.
The issue seems to be: Shall the
asylum be removed to a more healthful
place where better buildings can be had
or shall the only convenient and suitable
rock quarry, used to get material for
street-making, be abandoned? If the
former, money will be made by the sale
of the present site and the chances of
the recovery of insane patients better
ed; If the latter, the cost of giving Ho-
no1ulu acceptable streets must be great
ly increased and the area of street i'm
provement corresponding lessened.-

A LESSON OF THE STRIKE.

Los Angeles and San Diego have let
some excellent chances slip during the
present strike to do business with Ho-'
nolulu. For a long time past this city
has been an open market for staples
such as Southern California produces,
and up TO the arrival yesterday of the
Olympic there was an actual famine in
some essential supplies. A shipload OF
flour and feed would have been taken
lat high prices at any time during the
month of August and we do not doubt,
that such "a consignment would find
ready buyers during the month Of Sep
tember Had a cable been laid orders
would doubtless have gone, long before
this, to the Southern California ports
We should think that commercial wis
dom would suggest to some OF our Her-
chants the propriety of doing regular
business in certain lines with the SOUTH
ern ernporiums. Strikes and locKouts
are always to be expected in San Fran
cisco hut the walking delegate IS not
the monarch of all he surveys at Port
Los Angeles and San Diego and the
people there are so solcltous LOT sea
trade that they would not tolerate any
cautious interference Win oSSii
merce We doubt that they would
stand unofficial meddling of any kind
This being true they are more de-
nendable sources of supply in certain
lines than is San Francisco or the
Sound ports In good years they could
give us heavy supplies of nay, grain
notatoes and desirable livestock; and IN
every season an ample invoice of cased
wares. 1t would surprise some OF our
people to know how much commercial
territory Los Angeles has taken away
from San Francisco. Not only has the
orange belt metropolis captured the
trade of Arizona and of its own great
contiguity but it has invaded the San
JOAQUIN almost as far as Fresno Ii
can meet San Francisco on the latters
own ground; and there is no reason to |
think that it would find itself handi-
capped in competition here.
The lesson of the present strike Is to |
extend and diversity Honolulu's com
mercial connections. We are doing
something with the Sound country but
the interest there is so much enlisted
n Alaska that Seattle and Tacoma job
,ers do not bother themselves to please
is. But Los Angeles and San Diego, If
given the chance, would tumble over
themselves and each other in trying TO
get our trade. 1t might pay to en-
that propensity.

MUST TAKE TINE

Superintendent Boyd to lnvesti.
gate the Rock Quarry
Dispute.

What has been done and wlsa, re-
mains under way furnished te,5 Tor
the discussions of the Executive Coun-
Icil yesterday morning 1t was a long
session, as the Governor had to catch
up with the loose ends of public bust
ness which he had dropped when going
away for his health.
The most important matter under dis
cussion was the difference as to loca-
tions between the Board of Health and
the Department of Public Works, over
the Insane Asylum and the quarry and
rock crusher. THE matter was discuss
ed at length and was left for the future
consideration of Superintendent Boyd.
AS result OF this disposition of the
matter superintendent Boyd wrote to
the Board of Health acknowledging the
receipt of the communication on the
subject. and advising that it would
have his future attention. 1t was un
derstood that the matter was to be
taken up for further considera ton next
week which will give Mr.. Boyd time for
investigation before recommending ac
ton. He said that there would be no
decision at once, as he would have to
look into the question further than was
done last week, and that when the
testimony was all in there would be no
trouble in reaching a decision This
would not be done however on the state
ment of the board without full con-
sideration. He said it would cost $780,
900 TO move the asylum and half as
much to take away the rock crusher
with the consequent loss of the use of
the quarry and the loss too of the
material which is taken out of
it for the roads.
Mr.. Boyd outlined his course in the
coming trip which he and Assistant
Campbell viii make to
the other islands of the group. Nothing
will be decided as to the course to be
pursued in making improvements until
the report of these officials has been
made to the Executive and then the
plans for the spending of the moneys
which are expected to come into the |
Treasury will be made.

DANISH WEST INDIES.

Although the Danish West Indian ISL
ands are not needed so badly as they
were, the United States may well buy
them at the stated price, $4,000, 000 to
avoid trouble about them later. 1t
would be embarrassing if Denmark,
failing OF customer here should offer
the islands to another European power.
The United States, unless prepared to
play the role of the dog-in-t the manager
could not object to such a transfer; and
to permit 1t might lead to the establish
ment of another fortified foreign out
post like Bermuda or Santa Lucia in or
near North American waters. So, at
s3,500,000, it would be cheaper to buy.
The people of the Danish possessions
are anxious enough to get in. Their
vote In favor of the move, a generation
ago, was pretty nearly unanimous.
Since then they have been living from
hand to mouth their little industries
PROSTATE for the want of an American
market. Latest reports indicate that If
the Stars and Stripes are raised over st.
Thomas and st. Croix the inhabitants
will greet them with the loyal enthus-
iasm which such a sign of prosperity
to come might be expected to attract.
With Denmark's islands under our
flag the control of the great waters
washing the southern shores of the
United States, the Eastern shores of
Central America and the northern coast
of South America will be chiefly In
American hands. The insular owner
next in interest will be Great Britain
and after her France and Holland. But
between them the Anglo Saxon race
will command the sea
