PUZZLES.

There is forever to be a Chinese puz-
zIe it seems. The Western powers have
found a very hard Chinese puzzle in
China itself and they have not been
able to put it together by any means,
indeed the pieces seem to be in as in
extricable confusion as ever. One often
asks oneself what is the position of the
Western powers towards China? Can
the various powers clearly define their
position. The only one that really can
is the United States, but even the Unit
ed States is hampered by the alleged
misconduct of certain of her mission
aries, who claim to have acted as they
did under advice from the United
States minister.
1t is undoubtedly a great puzzle.
Was anybody ever at war with China?
Is there a Chinese government in eX-
istence now. and if there is can it en-
force its orders? Is there mutiny
among the Imperial troops or is there
not? viii the Imperial court return
to Picking or win it remain in the re-
mote interior and thus be inaccessible
to the representatives of the Western
powers? One could go on framing ques-
tions of this character for an almost
indefinite length of time, but the trou-
BILE is to find solutions for each or any
of them.
But if the Western world has its Chi
nese puzzle which is occupying it's at
tention very fully, this Territory has a
little puzzle of its own. According to
the Organic Act all Chinese had to be
registered before June A. 1901. But Chi
nese wso wish to revisit their own
country can do so by obtaining a GER
tificate. Many Chinese awaited them
selves of this opportunity and started
for China in the fall of last year. The
registration of Chinese did not COM
mence till February or March, so that
men who left for China with certificates
of return could not be registered before
their departure. They now return after
the registration is over, and cannot be
registered. They are between the horns
of a dilemma.
To put the case more clearly suppose
a Chinaman took out his return per-
NIT last December, he is not due here
till next december. During his alb
sence the registration board has done
all it's work and closed up business. Amy
Chinese found here unregistered is Ii
able to deportation. Now the China
man who left last December will find
himself like Mahomet's coffin, suspend
ed between earth and sky. He has his
permit to land, and no one can stop
him, but the moment he does land he is
liable to arrest and deportation because

With regard to Mr.. Carnegie's gift to
the Scotch Universities the New York
Times says "On this side of the water
it will be remarked with uncounterfeit-
ed glee that Mr.. Carnegies practice
confounds Mr.. Schwab's precept. The
president of the vast United States steel
corporation tells the boys of a trade
school that the college, bred boy can
never catch up with the boy who has
buckled down to the actual struggle Of
life in a foundry at the age of sixteen.
But Mr.. Carnegie, who was Mr..
Schwab's dry nurse in the steel bust
ness, makes provision for drenching
and saturating youth of all Scotland in
high learninP by the university pro-
cess, which assuredly will leave few of
them free to put on a jumper in a
foundry before the age of twenty five.
AS it is quite unimaginable that Mr..
Carnegie would set aside So 900 900 to
retard the development of young
Scotchmen and keep them hopelessly in
the rear of the contemporaneous gener-
alton in other lands, we must conclude
that he sees something in university
education that the inexperienced eyes
of Mr.. Schwab have not yet perceived"

CHEAP BEER.

william Ewart Gladstone, himself a
most temperate man, was a great ad-
vocate for supplying light wine and
beer to the masses as a temperance
measure. Upon his theory the opening
of a brewery in Honolulu for the sale
of cheap beer of very moderate alco-
holc strength would be regarded as a
distinct temperance measure. There is
no doubht that if men can be weaned
from using distilled spirits and induced
to take light wines and beer, a great
step is made in advance.
In France wine-drinking is universal
but the wine consumed is of a very mild
quality. The French are, as a rule, an
extremely sober nation. The peasants
are especially sober 1t is the inhabi-
tants of the towns, who noison them
selves with decoctions of alcohol under
the name of various cordials, that sup
ply the statistics of drunkenness.
If cheap beer will do away with
spirits and will drive away the manu-
facture of swipes it will have done a
piece of work that even the most ar
dent temperance advocate must APP
plaud if he cannot approve.

Roughly speaking, the worlds con-
sumption of sugar has doubled in the
last 10 years, says The Spectator CLon-
dom, referring to a recent article by DR..
Willoughby Gardner. THE English
and Americans stand easily at the head
of the list as the sugar-eating ma
lions. DR.. Gardner establishes the fact
that sugar is a potent creator of ener-
gy and maintainer of stamina. This,
he contends, is not only proved by Ia
boratory experiments, but by the case
of the date-eating Arabs, the fine
health of the sugar -eating ne
groes, and the results obtained by AL
pine climbers, Attic explorers, athletes
and German soldiers fed on a special
diet. DR.. Gardeners general conclusion
is that the increased height and weight
and the improved health of the English
people in the last half-century are
largely due to the increased consump-
ton of sugar"

A CONTRAST.

What a contrast is the first Parlia-
ment of federal Australia with the first
Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii.
The one dignified with great aims and
a determination for national advance
ment, taking every subject up and dis
GUESSING on broad lines. AS recent
writer puts it, There are parties but
no factions. All join in loyal unison
to acclaim the great state they have
created" The other, undignified, wrang-
ling. wasting it's opportunities and
bringing about Territorial retrogres-
sion, rather than Territorial advance
ment. taking up every subject and dis
cussing it on narrow lines of personal
and selfish interest, with factions rife,
and parties disregarded, and not Joining
i'm any loyal interest to acclaim the
fruitful Territory which has been Great
ed.
1t is certainly a contrast worth con-
sideration. The federal colonies have
EARRING interests, as the agricultural
South used to have with the manufac-
turing North But these Earring inter-
is a broadness in the treatment of the
questions which it is a pleasure to con-
template. Moreover Australia is the
land of the working man. 1t is the land
of victorious labor parties, but being
victorious he does not grind down the
capitalist. He believes in every one
having his due share. i..
s1,N, Z
has been nothing but Earring interests
which are kept on the jar. There is
no effort on the part of the dominant
party to concilate. 1t has done every
thing to antagonize, even to the extent
of preventing the Territory from rails
ing money for the necessary public i'm
provements, which money could have
been obtained in greater abundance
and upon better terms than ever in the
history of the Islands Even in the
question of salaries of government
offices the Legislature takes into con-
sderation the occupant and not the
office itself. If it is some one who is
persona grata to or affiliated with the
dominant faction the salary is increas-
ed if possible. If, on the other hand,
the incumbent is persona non grata to
or is not affiliated with the dominant
faction, his services are apt to be cri-
ticised severely and his salary cut down
to a minimum, or his office abolished
altogether. ..e
The fact is, taking these two newly
created bodies, in the one is found
patriotism and mental strength, in the
other lack of patriotism and mental
weakness, we may devoutly hope that
the next legislature may have firmer
and a broader tone than the present
one and that though we shall suffer for
about eighteen months for the mis-
takes of the present, its gravest errors
may be corrected in the future.

he is living here without a registration
certificate,
OF course the matter win have to be
referred to Washington and there will
be no disposition to do injustice to the
Chinese, but it would have been wise
thing for Consul Yang Wal Pin to have
been forehanded in this matter, and
nave had it Strengthened out before the
dilemma occurred. But the consul and
the Chinese merchants are not on very
good terms and it is not his way to
smooth difficulties I'm the path of his
countrymen.
Certainly this is quite a little local
Chinese puzzle and will probably cause
considerable bother and expense to the
returning Chinese.

The Healani amateur troupe has had
signal success and has shown that
there is much talent among the MEM

from very different standpoints. The

one was. thoroughly enjoyable, and a
series of jokes can be given which

port and appreciation.

1t is exceedingly appropriate that a
portrait of the late Chief Justice Judd
should adorn the walls of the Supreme
Court room. Chief Justice Judd in
large measure framed the jurispru-
dence of the Hawaiian Islands. He was
on the bench throughout the period
changes that made her a part of the
United States. He was on the bench
durin~ the transition" period, and Bit
terly as he has been assailed for some
of his decisions growing out of this
transition period, he has been fully and
absolutely justified and upheld by the
recent decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States.

Hiram Knowles. The question was
involved in an application for an in
junction sought by tine government
against County Treasurer George
itigsins, OF Missoula county, to pre-
vent him from collecting taxes from
Oliver Gibeau, a quarter breed indian.
& was held that Gibeau was a white
man and the injunction was dismiss
sed
The contention of the government
was that Gibeau owned cattle on the
Flathead reservation anu they were
listed in 1897 by Assessor w. r. Ham
iltOn for taxation. Later County
Treasurer Higgins levied on the stock
or taxes Then the government

would certainly have been classed as

entitled to the status of white man;
he could have inherited, acquired and
held property: he could have located

adopting the habits of the Indians
change his status? | think not.
While there are cases in which quar-

cd as indians by the laws OF congress,
| cannot refer 10 any case where a
person possessing but one-quarter In

white people and lived among them
until he was nearly grown man, has

With the issue of yesterday the

In that time, according to lis own
statement, il has had a sa' isIact DRY

patronage. But there have been other
factors which helped make the publ
cation OF the Bee a matter of great
Difficult ,. One of these was the lack
u sa iicient room in Wlic hto do the
needed work. Another was the inabil-
lily to secure a satisfactory telegraph
service at a reasonable cost. All these
are. Of course, great disadvantages.
But it is to be hoped they will NOT con-
tinue long. The Bee has been an en-.
