PEACE.

For a supposed opening into a peace
full century there is enough war"
about to satisfy a Northern Berseker,
and delight Valkyrie of old, with the
number of bold spirits that they could
take up to the joys of Valhalla. There
is the war in the Philippines or rather
not war but guerrilla fighting, keeps
a considerable number of our soldiers
skirmishing through rice swamps and
about rocky mountain defiles. Every
now and again some of our Gallant
fellows are hit by bullets and more of
them succumb to fever and other dis
ease.
The Boer war also drags on in guer-
rilla fashion. The peaceful Boer when
he wants a little fun, digs up his rifle
and takes to potting British sentries
or he joins a hundred or so of his coun-
trymen and rushes a block house. Then
he buries his rifle, returns to his peace
full avocations and complains loudly be-
cause he is seized and deported to some
place where he can do no mischief.
Central America is in the throes of
one of it's periodical wars and the
Western powers have to send war ships
to protect the interests of their people
Meanwhile the Columbians and their
foes are carrying on their warfare in
that peculiarly happy manner of the
South American Dago, which means a
cruelty and ferocity to non-combatants
that comes of a mixture of Castilian
and Indian blood.
Finally we have China, still an unset
tied question. Dire distress and star
walton in some parts, so that cannibal-
ism is said to have been resorted to
where man steak and baby chops have
become a regular portion of the menu
a condition of bandit rule in other parts,
where Imperial troops and even Rus
sian detachments can make little or no
Roadway; finally a threatened Boxer
rising in the South, with humiliation
of all Christians, native or foreign.
Certainly this is very pretty pic
ture, and calculated to make the philo-
sopher believe very thoroughly in the
steady advancement of the human
race in the paths of peace and progress.
The twentieth century begins we'll

have considerable business interests,
both will come.
There is a side of injustice to this un-
fortunate condition of the Chinese.
Any worthless European hummer may
roam about the United States at his
will, as long as his money lasts he may
get as much drunk as he pleases, when
his money is out he can % to Jail and
then join the glorious and great army
of tramps who move over the country
like an army of locusts, and draw their
free rations from the industrious
classes. But the Chinaman, who never
becomes tramp, and whose sole desire
is to be Industrious and pay his way,
can not move about from one part of
the country to another without being
brought up by this official here, and
that official there, and treated generally
as a criminal of the deepest die.
AS to compensation, who in the wide
world would think of compensating a
Chinaman. If there was misleading
of the law by the local officials when
he tried to land in Hawaii, are the To-
cal officials to blame? If he was put
to heavy charges and to loss of valu-
able time, whose business is it but his
own. He should not have been a China
man travelling on legitimate business.
If he had been free born Anglo-SaxOn,
he might have come along with some
one else's wife, and could have landed
freely, or he might have been a notori-
Gus burglar with no warrant out for
arrest. Either could land without the
least difficulty. But a Chinaman, Never!

THE UNFORTUNATE CELESTIAL


All Chow, who was not permitted to
land here, though he was strictly
Americanized Chinaman, will find a
very satisfactory decision awaiting him
when he reaches San Francisco. At
torney-General Knox rules that "all
Chinese persons who have a right to
be in the United States are entitled to
pass from the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands, and to be protected
while there by their registration certi-
ficates as they would be in any organ
lied territory of the continental and
integral domain of the United States"
Accompanying All Chow was another
Chinese from San Francisco, who came
down here to take charge of. an impor-
tant business venture. He too was
denied landing. This ruling of Attorney
General Knox win allow both men to
land in this Territory, and as both

The steel strike is on, and there is
every evidence of bitter fight The
results of the fight will be far reaching
and the want and misery it will entail
will not be any means confined to the
steel workers. Politically the strike has
come at a good time. A strike during
a presidential election means disaster
The present strike will be over long be-
fore the next election, and the wheels
of industry will be running smoothly.

When men plead guilty rather than
wait for their trials, there seems to be
injustice somewhere. No doubt it is
good law, but, as this paper has pointed
out many times. law and justice are
not synonymous terms. Lawyers spend
a great deal of their time in evading
the law, and finding means for getting
notorious criminals out of it's clutches.
In fact a criminal is a much more in
teresting creature than an innocent
man from the legal point Of view.

People are often too easy in giving
money to church collectors. They see
a black coated Hawaiian gentleman
come into their offices, who presents a
subscription list, and they promptly put
their names down for small sum. In
nine cases out of ten they do not ask
what the subscription is for. The con-
sequence is that there is ample oppor-
tunity for fraud or embezzlement

However beautiful the lowlying
southern cities on the Gulf Coast may

ton of property along the northern
coast of the gulf of Mexico, and espe-
cially about Mobile.
