The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-01-09

The labor problem has become a very
serious one i'm Hawaii owing to the eN-
CusiOn of the Chinese. who are by far
the best field hands that. ever worked
upon the sugar plantations. Japanese
substitutes have not proved anything
like as desirable, the Porto Ricans who
We're imported recently were a dismal
failure and the natives have neither
the thrift nor the energy TO make good
wOrkmen.
Conditions were already so bad when
the acting governor sent in his report
from the territory that he recommends
ed that the Chinese be admitted for
employment in agriculture only under
various restrictions, but there is a
violent and numerically strong oppo-
sition which is certainly the most re-
markable champion that labor ever
had. II is composed for the most part
of natives, but is under the guidance
of intriguing whites and half-Whites
and it makes astonishing drafts upon
the word American. The fact that il
is neither labOriOus nor American has
not deferred it from adopting the
catch phrases common here and talk
ing exactly as if the conditions in the
states and in Hawaii were the same
and a great industrial population of
white workingmen was threatened by
an influx of Asiatics.
All such agitation is simply a burles-
que upon the facts. Though it may be
inadvisable to pass exceptional legisla-
ton for Hawaii the facts are too plain
to be disguised and they may be de-
scribed briefly as follows. There is
practically no American farm labor i'm
Hawaii and there are no inducements
for it's immigration. The country is
going more and more to large sugar
plantations rapit91 is almostlN COM
! pletely absorbed i'm them. Consequent
| ly there is no small farming worth
mentioning, nor is there likely to be in
| the future. For the tendency toward
sugar is a perfectly natural one which
| is determined by the question of pro-
| fits That explains why some recent
attempts at establishing coffee grow
! ing by small prOprietOrs have beer
! abandoned The sugar planters needed
! to increase their acreage and We're able
/ to pay for land a good price which the
| coffee growers were glad to get, Ado
! that the whole territory, including cul-
| tivable and uncultivable land, is only
about One-eighth the size of Illinois
and that white men will not work as
! plantation hands i'm the tropics and il
! will be seen that il is a waste of SYM
pathy to shed tears on their account
! AS for the HaWaiians If they had
| been industrious they could have kept
/ the oTientals out. But they will work
only under Immediate compulsiOn and
Iare eager to knock off the moment they
have little ahead. Neither have they
/ a standard of living which admits OF
| any great debasement and they are
generally so unfit to speak for the Am
eriCan toiler that their present poliu-
cal enthusiasm cannot be taken sert-

THE AURORA BoREALIs.

Under the action of the ultra-v violet
rays the charged particles would graz
dualIy move to the less Illuminated re-
giOns of the earth-to the poles. Since
cathode rays tend to follow the lines of
force i'm a magnetic field, the rays will
near the equator lie i'm the upper air,
where the lines of force are parallel
to the suface of the earth. At the poles
where the lines of force dip downward
and reach denser strata of air and here
the phenomena Of the aurora on the
period of the solar spots and other
known relations all harmonic with tho
theory that the northern lights are pro-
duced by cathode rays arising from
negatively electrified solar particles. A
far-reaching explanation like the fore
going can only be summarized here.

Trust and the labor Union jointly to put

fers. doubtless, of the consumer and the

defence. The ranks of labor are go
ing to be recruited as long as the world
lasts. People will continue to be born,
and they must find ways to earn liv-
ing. If avenues of employment are
monopolized by the new kind of Trust,
by means of the boycott or otherwise
the classes thus injured must meet the

If we may cast glance one stage

we shall see that the new Trust will moi

will always think that it is getting les:
than its share, an6 as often as not i

for a larger dividend. The struggle
will not be terminated by the taci

C|Op And C|ilQIe RepO|t.

Weather. Light and generally ben
e6cial rains have occurred throughout
the island during the week. The
heavier rains have occurred over the
west central portion of the island, Las
Marias reporting the highest amount
7.36 inches. The east central section
mad very little rain, both Cayey and
Cidra reporting no rainfall. The aver
age amount reported from coast stations
is about one inch, while the average for
the island stations is slightly over three
inches. The average for the entire
island based on the reports from ~ sta
tons is 81 inches. More rain is need
ed along the northeast and northwest
coasts. Normal temperatures have
been reported from all stations, the
highest, o4o occurred at Morovis and
the lowest, $50 at Adjuntas.
Crops. Excepting in the west cen
trail districts, conditions favorable both
for the growth of crops and for field
work have prevailed and quite satisfac-
tory progress has been made. In the
districts mentioned, however, the rains
have been too heavy and continuous
for agricultural purposes, especially fol
coffee interests, This crop has matured
very rapidly during the past week and
the picking of the berries is now most
urgent. The gathering and marketing
of the coffee crop is now going on as
rapidly as possible bui some losses have
already been sustained in the west cen
trail districts, due to continuous rains
high winds, and lack of sunshine,
Heavy losses are imminent unless more
favorable conditions develop soon. The
planters in San German district are
having trouble in securing the necessary
help to save the crop as is natures.
Reports from this district also indicate
a scarcity of such products as beans,
frijoles, gandurss, and corn, owing to
the partial or total loss of these crops.
In the northen Aguadilla district, pas
turage and the crop of frijoles are
drying up for lack of rain. In some
sections canes would be greatly bene-
fitted by more rain but in general this
crop is doing well. Reports indicate
considerable activity among tobacco
grower, with satisfactory results. A
large quantity of seed has been planted
and the young plants are becoming well
established. Much land is now ready
for transplanting the tobacco plants
when ready. Small crops are plentiful
and pasturage, excepting as justed
is abundant.

The Ship Subsidy Question:
Its Revival Likely After the Con-
gressional Elections-Effect of
the Steamship Combination
Commissioner Chamberlain'S
Probable Recommendations.

Tae question of ship subsidies appears
to have dropped entirely out of cons
liberation during the pending campaing.
Republican policitians have generally
declined to express an opinion upon it.
Other issues have crowded it out of
public discussion. Still, it continues to
be recognized as question to be deter
mined after the Congressional elections;
and +la --e---1. II .lE CIcClIOnS may nav0
considerable part in determining it. The
hackers Of the bill have not lost inter-
est, and have not lost heart. They have
been temporarily knocked out, but they
still have some hope A great many
take their cue from Gen. Grosvenor Of
Ohio and other Republican leaders,
who argue that the steamship combine
which places such large American
ownership under foreign flags, will re-
suit in making subsidy absolutely ne
csssary in order to preserve the Ameri-
can flag to the ocean. This view,
however, does not appear to be nearly
so strong as the popular view that an
industry that so tempts combination of
large capital is not in need of Govern
ment assistance.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the Commissioner
of Navigation, and the most ardent
official advocate of subsidy, appears to
be discouraged at the previous failure
of the bill. He is buslly at work upon
his forthcoming annual report, but he
has not yet framed the recommends
ton which he will make to Congress
concerning desired legislation. He says
he has heard very little about the Sub
sidy Bill ef late; that he had no definite
idea whether it will be pressed at the
next session; that many other public
question. He thinks that the steamship
merger ought not to jeopardize the
Subsidy Bill, but that. it undoubtedly
does. He will not give as much space
to the Subsidy Bill in his coming report
as in former ones. He will probably
refer to and endorse his former recon-
mendations, and briefly restate the need
of Government aid to the merchant
marine. He is still in favor of repe-
aling the restrictions against the Ame-
rican registry of foreign-built vessels
under American ownership, but he
does not think that such vessels would
come under the American flags, even
if they were granted American registry.
That is, that subsidy or some sort Of
Governmental contract or inducement
would be necessary to bring them un--
der the American flag.
