Hawaii's Political Turmoil.

Affairs In Hawaii appear to be greatly
disturbed at present, according to the latest
letter to The Star from its Honolulu CORE
spondent. "kamehameha," printed today
in the course of which he describes the tur-
mOil caused by the recent actions of Circuit
Judge HUMPHREYS. According to this au-
thority Judge HUMPHREYS is regarded by
the conservative citizens of Hawaii as an
arrogant and dangerous anti-American in
triguer and steps have been taken by the
bar of Honolulu to secure his removal His
actions during the recent excitement over
the proposed extra session of the legislature
and the investigation Of Governor Dole's
bribery charges, as described by The Stars
Informant, are assuredly provocative of
severe criticism The people of the main
land are not vitality interested in Judge
HUMPHREYS or his future, but they are con-
cerned IN the welfare of the Hawaiians
whom they hope to see develop into a high
stage OF citizenship. The events of the
past few months have not been particu-
larry encouraging, Yet they may point the
way to better things political. The utter
failure of the native party as possessor of
legislative power has been effectively DEM
onstrated and there remains the chance
that the more Intelligent of the islanders
seeing the folly of further coalition on tho
basis Of a revival of the old monarchtcal
sentiment or of opposition in any form or
degree to the American Sovereignty will
unite In a determined effort to Justify the
extension Of territorial organization to Ha-
wall Meanwhile the government in this
city has fortunately a power of control
over Hawaiian affairs which. wisely exer-
cised. VIII prevent disaster to the experi-
nent OF insular self-government If Judge

Gen. Cables Surrenders,

The agreement of Gen. Cables to surren-
der to the American forces removes another
prop from the tumbling insurgent struc-
ture in the Philippines. This man has
proved one of the most obdurate of the
leaders. Combining the vicious qualities of
two races and lacking sincere sympathy
with either the Taga1ogs or the Americans,
he has become little better than a free
boOter, although he has held a definite
place in the insurgent organization. HIS
acts of barbaric cruelty in the field have
removed him from the ordinary category
of his associates. If now he proposes to
yield himself and his command and to take
his chances of trial and punishment It
insurgent cause has become clearly appar-
ent to even the most reckless opponents Of
American rule.
The installation of civil government has
progressed at satisfactory rate recently,
and while there have been occasional fights
with armed bands 1t Is doubtless true that
the great majority of the Island of Luzon
is now cleared of active organized insur-
gents Some signs of trouble are reported
from two or three of the other islands, but
not in such degree as to lead to the belief
that the revolutionary movement has been
seriously revived. Occasionally a Success
SCR of Aguinaldo' enters his claim, and
presumably for some time to come there
will be bandit so styling himself engaged
in more or less active agitation, just as
northeast Africa is seldom without a
"madhi."

The Virginia Black Belt.

\ Richmond special to the New York
Evening Post contains this reference 10
the suffrage question before the Virginia
constitutional convention:
The black belt representatives will place
before this suffrage committee and the con-
vention the alternative OF losing an t htse
sections OF utterly eliminating the negro
vote. The convention Will be plainly maze
to understand that the democrats nave
either to lose supremacy in this state or
dfsfrauchise the cOlOred voters as far as 1t
Is possible so to do. The most conservative
men in the black belt declare positively
that they will no longer countenance eiec-
tI0n frauds.
The actual situation in Virginia has at no
time been more frankly summed up. For
years the black belt has furnished the ma
jCrities by which the democracy has con-
trolled the state. They were obtained, it
has been freely charged, by gross frauds at
the polls The republicans are strong in
the white belt. but have been unable to
meet the returns from the black belt
which at times have been mathematical
marvels. But at last the democrats of the
black belt have tired of the work imposed
upon them. and insist upon being relieved
of it And so they say in substance to the
convention: Come now. The negro must
be disposed of in some other way. You
must disfranchise him, will remain
inactive and permit the state to go to those
who under the law as it now stands are en-
titled to control it."
The convention cannot afford to accept
t.Iese terms. They merely propose the sub
stitution of one outrage for another. Shall
the state of Virginia violate the Constitu-
ton of the United States in order to put
end to election frauds within her Dor
ders? Is this demand of the machine man
ayers in the black belt anything but
proposition that in future all share alike in
the violation of the law? 1t is distinctly
that.
Virginia needs capital and immigration
for the development of her resources. She
deserves both, and may hope to secure
them by the enactment and rigid enforce
ment of wise and liberal laws She has
much to offer those seeking homes and
with means enough to establish themselves
suugly. and the country. generally, would
rejoice TO see the Old Dominion once more
well toward the head of the procession.
But she could not make a greater mistake,
now that she is revising her constitution,
than to consult mere partisan prejudices in
anything, and particularly in SO great
thing as the regulation of the suffrage.
To undertake to make a partisan majority
discussion. a bid for continuation of ma
chine rule. and a blow to real progress
All reports of the convention compliment
Its personnel! and this fact gives hope of
just work by that body.

poses Of the First President may yet be
attained by full utilization for educational
ends OF the vast governmental plant at the
capital Much missionary work of this
character must be done in the states by
men who understand and represent the
scientific and educational endowments OF
Washington in order to develop intelli-
gent appreciation of the advantages en-
3oyed by the student who attends one or
another of the already established schools
or universities in the District. Washing

Senator McLaurin's ENGAGEMENTS.

Senator McLaurin IL Is announced will
proceed with his plans as they had been
prepared prior to the meeting with Mr.. TILL
man when both senators, In a moment OF
anger, sent in their designations He had
at that time several engagements to speak
IN South Carolina this summer, and these
he now will keep. His one topic Of course
will be his present attitude toward the lead
ing national issues, and why, in his judg
ment. his people should sustain and not
rebuke him. He will merely be giving an
account of his stewardship, and he Is entt-
tied to. and should be accorded, a respect
full hearing.
There is neither the need nor the demand
for joint debate between the two senator's
this year. Mr.. Tillman's attitude is well
understood both at home and elsewhere
He subscribes to the Kansas City platform
In toto, and will continue to do so until the
democratic national convention meets three
years hence. He will then subscribe to
whatever platform that body may write.
If the Kansas City platform Is readopted
and Mr.. Bryan renominated, Mr. Tillman
will fall in line. If the very opposite OF
that platform Is adopted and the very OPP
postte OF Mr.. Bryan made the standard
bearer, Mr.. Ttllman with equal obedience
will fall in line Meanwhile any and every
proposition brought forward by the repub-
Ecans, regardless of its merits or possible
benefits to the south. Mr.. Tfllman will op-
pose. His people therefore cannot be GU
rious to hear from him on any subject
They have but to observe the direction OF
the party wind to tell which way he is
pointing.
Mr.. McLaurin's case is very different
from this. Claiming still to be democrat
he is yet of opinion that several measures
which his party under Mr.. Bryan's leader
ship is opposing really contain matter OF
great moment to the south, and hence are
worthy Of the south's support. He has
given them his support in the Senate, and
Is prepared with his reasons. Naturally
his people are interested in what has pro-
duced this change in his views, and a num-
Der of localities have invited him to appear
and declare himself at length. He has ac-
cepted the invitations, and in filing his
engagements will perform a public service
of far greater than local Importance Ii
the measures recommended by Mr.. McLau-
rim are of value to South Carolina they are
of equal value to every other southern
state. and regardless of their origin should
receive southern support.
1t Is rumored that MIR. McLaurln will not
be permitted to enter the democratic pri-
maries as a candidate next year unless he
abandons his present attitude and declares
for the party issues as they are now de-
fined He need not go into that question
until it Is presented to him. But his inn
mediate duty is clear, and that Is to discuss
with his constituents in a sober and con-
sentative way what lies before them in
the way of choosing public policies, not by
party brand, but by unmistakable and
workable public worth.

For the Study of Chinese.


The gift Of 100000 to Columbia Untver-
slty to establish a department of Chinese
will strike some persons as fantastic and
unnecessary. Yet we have much to learn
from the despised oriental. and Chinese
civilization is perhaps the Oldest in the
world. A similar department at Harvard
was failure twenty-five years ago. To
sheer at the intellectual attainments of the
Chinese race is to confess ones ignorance
The celestial does not think as we do.
but when we have said so much We have
not reached a conclusion of much i'm
portance. In the next few years we shall
come into closer touch with the far east
and 1t may prove of great interest and
value to have some place in the United
States where the rudiments of the Chinese
language may be learned and some in
sight gained into the workings of the orr
entail mind.

The wonderful resources of the federal

presented in the course of the address de-
livered today before the University of Chi

lined the history of university education in
this country and indicated the growth of a
sentiment against the concrete realization
of George Washington's ideal of a national
university at the capital. Notwithstanding
this sentiment. which Is presumably too
pronounced to be overcome. the speaker
considered that virtually all of the pur-

salvation of his soul, they should amiably
submit to all of his outbreaks, and forgive
him all that he may lay waste while his

are equally entitled now with the foreign

Boxer movement. The work of the church
can no more be carried on without money
than can the work of the everyday world,
and hence money loss is a money loss,

the other. Had the churches acted on
some of the tom fool suggestions that have
been made. and held that they could not

would have made themselves the laughing
stock not only of the Chinese. but of the
