A DEBT TO REPUBLICANS.

Hawaiians who want to preserve their
suffrage should ally themselves with
the party that gave it to them, not
with the Democrats, for the latter have
fought with the cartridge box and the
ballot box to contine the suffrage to
white men, irrespective of whether the
men of color voted with them or not.
That is now and always the Demo-
cratic doctrine. In the South, where
the Democrats rule an Hawaiian would
find himself without civil rights, simply
because he has a brown skin. In the
North where the Republicans are In a
majority. he would be treated as well
as white man. Here in Hawaii the
Republicans have been quick to give
the Hawaiians every political opportu-
nifty and in the convention which nam
ed the Prince there We're more Hawaii
ans than white men. There are more
Hawaiians than white men in office un-
der Governor Dole today. One of the
strongest planks in the Republican Ter
ritorial platform is the one which
stands for the maintenance of Hawaii
an suffrage.
Wilcox himself declares that the Re
publicans were his firm supporters in
Congress from the President down. His
platform reiterates II. The Delegate
has not specified a single Democrat who
helped him in. any way, although he
mentions the desire of one Southern
Senator to have the Home Rulers be-
come Democrats. On every hand, he
says. he found Republican encourage
ment.
a party with record like the Re
publican-the one which gave Hawaii
ans their suffrage and has always eX-
tended helping hand-ought to receive
the support of Hawaiians generally. AS
suredly when Tillman rallies his fellow
Democrats to carry out his threat To
classify the Hawaiian with the negro
and treat him worse. II will be to Re
publican protection that the native vot-
err will have to turn.

A DoGBERRY DECISION.

II seems that the Utah Supreme Court
has decided that Hawaiians are Mon
golians. and inasmuch as Chinese are
also Mongolians. that therefore Ha-
waiian Is a Chlnaman, and as such
cannot contract a lawful marriage with
a Mormon girl. The luminous logic and
learning OF this decision II only equaled
by another decision made In 1854 and
preserved to the world In the fourth
volume of the California Supreme Court
Reports where, In the case Of the Peo-
pie VS.. Han, the Supreme Court of CAL
ifornia decided that "A Chinaman is both
"A negro and an Indian.
"The appellant" said Chief Justice
Murray IA free white citizen of this
state, was convicted OF murder upon
the testimony of Chinese witnesses.
The act of April 10th, 1850, pro-
vides that No black or mulatto or In
dian shall be allowed to give evidence
in favor of or against white man.
The word black may include all
negroes, but the term negro does not
include all black persons. BY the use
of the term black we understand 1t TO
mean the opposite of white. The
Legislature adopted the most compre-
hensive terms to embrace" (under the
shade of color" a Chinaman, is the
conclusion of the court, being yellow,
is black, and being black, is "A negro,
and as such his testimony cannot be
received against a white man.
But not content with chasing poor
John as negro, the court directed its
logic toward demonstrating that he was
an Indian: when Columbus first
landed upon the shores of this CONT

ern passage to the Indies" said His
Honor Judge Murray, "he imagined
that he had accomplished the object of
his expedition and that the island of
San Salvador was one of those Islands
of the Chinese Sea lying near the eX-
trenIity of India which had been de-
scrbed by navigators. Acting upon TINS
hypothesis he gave to the islanders the
name of Indians, which appellation was
universally adopted and extended to
the aboriginals of the New World as
well as Asia. The countries
washed by the Chinese waters
were denominated the Indies, from
which the inhabitants had derived the
generic name of Indians"
The conclusion of the Court was that
q free white American ought not to be
hanged for a murder that was only
witnessed by n lot of yellow skinned,

thick-lipped negroes, but also scalp
hunting, unbreeched, bowling Indians.
| The syllabus of these two decisions
| is that a negro is an Indian, that an
Indian Is a Chinaman, and that chi
naman is a Hawaiian, or 1t may be
stated correlatively that a Hawaiian,
being a Chnaman, is therefore an In
dian, and being an Indian, is conse-
quently an African.
Courts are grand things, but their
logical antics sometimes make ones

A SUCCESSFUL DELEGATE.

The remark of n distinguished visitor
that a Delegate in Congress, to get
things, should be in accord with the
party in power is not met by the state
ment, which we hear from Wilikrats.
that Missouri, a Democratic state. got
from a Republican Congress an appro-
priation for the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition.
In the first place the men who asked
for this help We're not Delegates; in the
second place the Exposition scheme is
an affair of all the Louisiana Purchase
States the majority OF which are Re-
publican; and in the third place, expo
stions being national politics does not
cut much of figure with them.
A Delegate having no vote is not
sought after by parties in Congress:
but when he belongs to one he gets
help as a matter OF course. II he be-
longs to none he is treated as a nonen-
tity and cannot hope for favors. II he
belongs to the minority party he only
gets what the majority Is willing to
give away and that is very little indeed.
His constituents, therefore, benefit most
when he and the majority party are in
accord.
The next Congress promises to be
Republican. In that case a Wilikrat
Delegate would be a failure per Sc,
while Republican Delegate, especially
a man Of the Princes standing, would
naturally come in for some Of the good
things which the right sort Of a Dele
gate gets fer his constituents.

that the application of the present land
laws would mean the falling of the
limited areas of the Territory into the
hands of a few persons, ana submitted

The Savannah morning news., 1902-09-21

Are you Mr.. Joseph Ramsey" ask
ed one of the visitors.
am" was the reply, what can
l do for your"
You can give up your job here and
be the general superintendent of the
wabash" the spokesman replied. 1--WE
came out here to look you over, and
decide about you later, but we've
changed our minds. We want you
right away. An official who knows
now and is not afraid to repair his
own rolling stock needs no other rec
ommendation."
Mr.. Ramsey went with the Wabash
hallway. To-day he is it's president
and its owners right hand man in the
battle for tidewater outlet.
The latest wrinkle in the apartment
houses where rentals are away up in
the thousands of dollars is certainly a
queer one. When a prospective tenant
is shown suite of rooms he finds them
void of any sort of decoration and fin
lsh, even wall paper and paint.
Oh, yes, the building is all finished"
the agent explains; I'VE have purpose
ly left the rooms in this state. We
prefer to have an apartment deco
rated by the tenant according to his
tastes. Therefore, out of the rental
for the first year we set aside a liberal
sum which he can spend in any way he
chooses for decorative purposes"
Those who are trying this scheme de-
clare that it catches the women every
time and, in consequence, their Eouses
are rapidly filling at high rentals.
The money set aside for decorating
varies with the size of the suites. For
a three-room apartment, renting for
1880 year, $500 is allowed. and for
larger apartments the amount is COM
mensurately increased. For furnishing
the thirty and forty-room suite; rent
ing from $4,000 to $4,000, 5000 is gen.
orally allowed.
OF course, the owner does not care
how much money of his own the ten
ant adds to the sum given him from
the rental for decoration. IT'S said that
the majority go away over their limit
and finish the apartments more hand
somely than the owner ever dreamed
of doing. Thus wealth is placed in the
owners pocket by his tenants in more
ways than one.
While the cables are announcing the
deep concern of London physicians and
SociologistS over their city'S alarming
ly decreasing birth rate and equally
distressing increase in infant mortal
lty, New York is congratulating itself
on a marked decrease in the death
rate of children under five years of
age. During the three hottest months
of this year, June, July, and August.
when the peril of infant life is great
est, the death rate was 636, or 1856
deaths in a population of 243,272. The
rate last year was 77.9 and in 1900 ISL.
In fact, there has been a steady and
almost phenomenal decrease in the
death rate since 1891, when it was 1860,
or 5,945 deaths in population of 1885,
7O3.
When the terribly crowded condition
of the East Side, where babies literally
swarm and where the chances of living
are largely against them, is taken il to
consideration, this perennial decrease
seems still more remarkable. 1t is
LARGELY due to the relentless efforts of
