OUR HAWAIIAN CITIZENS.
New York Commercial. !

The Hawaiian Islands since their an
nexation to the United States are be-
coming rapidly Americanized, regard
less Of the fact that the vast majority
OF their inhabitants is composed OF
either native "Kanakas," Chinese or
japanese. These classes are not dis
posed to adopt American customs, as a
rule, very freely, but in the case Of
these islands America has long WELD
ed a strong influence in fashioning the
characteristics of their inhabitants.
Honolulu was port at which the old
whaling fleet was for years accustomed
to stop and ship from there to this
country the oil that had been collected,
and the natives became thorough ia
miliar with American ways and man
pers; so that the transfer OF their ale
glance to this country did not come
upon them with such startling shock
as their annexation by a European
country would have created.
The population of the Hawaiian ISL
ands is an interesting subject 10 all
Americans. and the last census. which
includes the group in its enumeration,
gives some facts that should be known
by continental Americans. The total
population of the Islands in 1900 u
placed at $4,000, and Of these about
! 5000 are Americans, about $500 British,
about 1000 Germans and a few are
| Frenchmen and natives OF Porto Rico
who have recently arrived. The Chi.
nese numbered 2l,616, the japanese
24,4O7, and the Portuguese 1900
Nearly all the Cinnamon and japanese
were originally taken to the Islands
as contract laborers on the sugar plan
tatons. the owners Of which sought
their labor where they could get II
cheapest. Thousands of these former
practically slaves, however, have now
been emancipated from that position
and are their own individual masters
working for whom they please and fol
whatever wages they can secure.
The Americans, British and Ger
mans, with a few of the old native mo
bility," own all the property. The
contract laborers working on the Isl
ands in 1900 amounted to 35,9S7, but o
course that element will eventual!
disappear as distinctive class for
under American sovereignty, no MOI,
can be brought from China or Japan
and the body now held under foreign
made contracts will in time regaiI
their full industrial freedom.
When that time arrives, the Hawa
Han Islands will begin to experience
some of the benefits that their annex
alton to this country is calculated l.
bestow upon them. In the meantime
the gaining OF the privilege OF fire
trade with the United States, whicl
came to them with the flag, has al
ready added greatly to their materia
advantage, especially to that OF tn
sugar growers. The people were neve
so prosperous as they have been sine
annexation, and their prosperity wi
increase as they approach nearer 1
harmony to the principles OF the grea
, Republic that has admitted them.

The Fifth precinct which the Adver'
tiser charges is the seat of party sedi-
tion was carried by the Home Rulers
in the general election by about fifty
votes. At Republican headquarters 1t
was figured that the Home Rulers had
the precinct by a hundred votes. The
earnest work of party lleutenants to
cut down the Home Rule vote has been
quite as energetic in this campaign as
1t was in the general election. The
only thing that can strengthen the OPP
position party is the introduction oil
fractional issues entirely foreign to the
questions at stake

the Republican voters be Influenced.

Abnormal Development.

Recently a Paris psychologist an
nounced that he had conc1usively
proved that malformation of the brain
produces intellectual brilliancy. The
theory is that deformity, disease or ac-
cldent causes the abnormal develop
ment of some part of the brain, and the
result is genius. In support of this
several cases are mentioned. 1t is
pointed out that Milton wrote his Par
adise Lost" while he was blind, and II
is said that the blindness confined his
mind to a certain scope In a manner
that made 1t possible for him to
evolve the great epic
Cases of a somewhat different nature
are shown in the elegant writings of
Thomas de Quincy and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, both Of whom had brains
In which the excessive use of opium
had made havoc. De Quincy describes
his horrible experience with opium
taken in the form of laudanum in his
Confessions Of an English Opium Eat
er." Byron's club foot is seriously ad.
vanced as the cause Of his lyric pow
er, and the point is made that Sir Wal
ter ScOtt's most brilliant work was die
tated from a sick bed. Mozart and
Wagner both had deformed brains.

vail in Legal Practice.
An English writer gives good ex-
ample of those quibbles in legal prac-
tice that have sort of fascination for
certain minds. Some years ago, while
travelling on the continent, he met the
principal lawyer for the government OF
one of the principalities, who told him
of curious legal question. 1t had ref
erance to a railway station at the boun-
Diary between two principalities.
Someone standing outside the window
of the ticket Office had put his hand
through and robbed the till inside.
The boundary line lay between where
the thief stood and the till, so that he
was actually in one territory while the
crime was committed in another. Here
was a nice nut for the gentlemen
learned in the law to crack. Which OF
the principalities should undertake the
prosecution OF the criminal?
At it they went in good earnest, and
the arguments on either side were long
and vehement, till the whole case was
embalmed in many volumes. At last
one side yielded SO far as to say:
"We will permit you, as an act of
courtesy, to prosecute, while at the
same time reserving all our sovereign
rights" T"
At this point of the recital l asked :
"And how did the prosecution end"
"Ah! That is quite another matter, "
said my friend. "There was no prose-
cution; we were only arranging what
we should do when we caught the rob-
ber; but we never caught him. -

CHAPTER II.

This is not the place to commemor-
ate the trials and privations endured
by the immigrant Mormons before they
came to their final haven.
From the shores of the Mississippi
to the western slopes of the Rocky
mountains they had struggled on with
a constancy almost unparalleled in his
tory.
The savage man and the savage
beast, hunger, thirst, fatigue and dis
ease-every impediment which Nature
could place in the way had all been
overcome with Anglo-Saxon tenacity.
Yet the long journey and the accum-
ulated terrors had shaken the hearts
OF the stoutest among them.
There was not one who did not sink
upon his knees in heartfelt prayer
when they saw the broad valley OF
Utah bathed in the. sunlight beneath
them, and learned from the lips Of
| their leader that this was the promised
land, and that these virgin acres were
| to be theirs for evermore.
Young speedily proved himself to
be a skillful administrator as well as
resolute chief.
Maps were drawn and charts pre-
pared in which the future city was
sketched out.
All around farms were apportioned
and allotted in proportion to the stand
ing of each individual.
The tradesman was put to his trade
and the artisan to his calling. In the
town streets and squares sprang up as
If by magic.
/ In the country there was draining
and hedging, planting and clearing
until the next Summer saw the whole
country golden with the wheat crop
Everything prospered in the strange
settlement.
Above all, the great temple which
they had erected in the center OF the
city grew ever taller and larger.
From the first blush Of dawn until
the closing of the twilight, the clatteI
of the hammer and the rasp of the
saw was never absent from the monu
ment which the immigrants erected tc
Him who had led them safe through
many dangers.
The two castaways, John Ferriel
and the little girl who had shared his
fortunes and had been adopted as his
daughter, accompanied the Mormon'
! to the end of their great pilgrimage.
Little Lucy Ferrier was borne along
pleasantly enough in Elder Stanger
sons wagon, retreat which sh'
shared with the Mormon's three wives
7 and with his son, headstrong, for
8 ward boy of twelve.
. Having rallied, with the elasticity o
!, childhood, from the shock caused b!

To complete it will require fifteen
years and an expenditure Of $145,000,-
900 in money. An army Of at least 15,-
coo laborers will be employed on the
job, most of them being fetched for
the purpose from Jamaica, under con-
tract. When the ditch is completed,
however, it will become large source
of revenue to Uncle Sam, inasmuch as
he will charge 81 for every ton of ship
ping that goes through from ocean to
ocean. 1t will not be an excessive
price, lnasmuch as the regular toll for
passing the Suez canal is So ton.
The first idea of the great French
engineer, De Lesseps, was to dig sea
level canal across the isthmus, just as
small boy might cut ditch between
two ponds. Bnt 1t became apparent

waters, This dam Will transform the
Chagres into a vast lake, the bound
aries of which have been accurately
established and which will extend thir-
teen miles to 0bispo, where the canal
leaves the river, covering an area or
more than twenty-one square miles.
The capacity Of the dam will be some
thing like 2O0,0O0,000 cubic yards.
Another dam will be built at Alba
iuela, on the upper Chagres, nine miles
from the canal, Of concrete masonry.
forming a reservoir with a surface
area of ten square miles and capacity
of 130OO0,000 cubic wards. 1t will not
only help to store the food waters Of
the Chagres in the wet season, but
will do some very useful work. Act
ing as feeder to the summit level Of
the canal, it will supply the great ditch
with water in the dry season, through
the medium of an aqueduct, and will
furnish hydraulic power for operating
the huge locks. The locks will be
worked by electricity obtained from
this water power, and by the same
means the canal will be illuminated
throughout its entire length with cleo
tric lights.
In this way the Chagres will be
transformed from an element of dan
ger into useful friend and helper. No
trouble is feared from volcanoes, mas
much as there are none within 200
miles The harbors at Colon and Pan
anna are excellent, and need no further
excavation or protection, though ba-
sins will be built at each end of the
canal for the convenient ingress and
egress of ships. Each of these basins
will be 150 yards wide and 1000 yards
long, and will be provided with moor.
ing facilities and wharves connected
with the terminal stations of the Pan
anna Railroad. The railroad runs along.
side Of the big ditch clear across the
lsthmus, greatly facilitating the work
| For much of its length the banks Of the
canal will be faced with masonry.
The canal when finished will accom-
modate merchantmen and war vessels
of the largest size, and the time OF
transit from ocean to ocean will bt
less than a day. The benefits 1t will
bring to the commerce Of the worlG
will be, Of course, incalculable.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1902-09-26

required If it be understood that
the profile of the great ditch presents
in its middle part high summit, from
which it slopes gradually toward the
sea on either side, with four locks on
each slope, the idea will be perfectly
clear.
Now, the canal is already practically
finished and navigable for nearly thir-
teen miles from the Atlantic end and
for five and a half miles from the Pa
clfic end. Thus one may start in a
boat from Colon, on the east side Of
the isthmus, and travel comfortably
by water for more than a dozen miles.
The next fifteen miles are partly dug,
with some deep cuts, such as 131 feet
at Bohlo, 81 feet at San Pablo and 9S
feet at Motachln. At the twenty
eighth mile rises the mountain range,
which is the most serious obstacle to
the undertaking.
Advantage is taken, however, Of a
convenient pass, as above explained,
and much of the remaining difficulty
has already been removed by cuts, one
of which has taken out long slice Of
rock 1874 feet in depth. At the thirty
third mile the slope toward the Pacific
begins. and for the rest of the way
the canal is not very far from compile
tion.- 1t extends out into the Pacific
ocean for a little over three miles, be-
cause the water was not deep enough
near shore and a channel had to be
dredged
Half of the entire length Of the canal
fifteen miles on the Atlantic side and
seven and a half miles on the Pacific
side-will be at sea level. The rest Of
the trip will be by slopes up which and
down which 1t will be necessary to

ocean.

Fearful Cold of Siberia.

There are still many drawbacks to
travel on the great Siberian railway,
but one of the greatest is the discomfort
to which third-class passengers, especi-
ally native Chinese, are subjected.
The past winter was unusually severe,
yet the rolling stock is SO inadequate
that the Chinese ride in open freight
cars. In January and February, when
the thermometer registered from 80 to
40 degrees below the freezing point, the
Chimes sat in crowds on the frozen
trucks and frequently froze to death.
On one terrible night in February l5
Chinese perished and about I50 others
suffered terribly from frost bites and
exposure.

later on that such plan would not be
feasible, for two reasons. A mountain
chain, which Is continuation of the

the middle of the isthmus, and to cut
through it down to the level of the
ocean would be a most laborlous and
costly task. Also, the Chagres River,
which is addicted to periodic floods,
would cause no end of trouble.
Accordingly the canal was carried
over the mountain range, through a
convenient pass, and arrangements
were made for locks, in which, by fill
ing them with water, vessels passing
through will be lifted to the necessary
elevation. 1t was a simple matter
enough. only eight locks in all being

The Money of RahyInn.

The great and ancient empires Of
Assyria and Babylonia adhered for ages
to primitive blocks of copper and in
gots Of gold and silver and did not,
therefore, have an imperial coinage.
They possessed a system of banking,
however, which was complete and
we'll developed.
