When We Studied Law.

When we studied law we found
in our Blackstone" that it was
punishable by fine and imprison-
ment for rich men to get into their
possession large quantities of pro-
visions for the purpose of raising
the price at their own discretion.

What have been the results of
our three years of possession !?
Have we brought the islands ont
of chaos into state of order2- No;
they were in far more orderly and
civilized state on the day the
treaty of peace was signed than
they have ever been since. Wb
have brought that very chaos
which we try to persuade ourselves
we are preventing. We have
swept the islands with fire and
sword. The path of our armies i
marked from one end of the archi-
pelago to the oth.r by burned viii
lagos and fresh graves. Is it con-
ceivable that any civil war could
have cost SO many Filipino liveF.
could have brought more ruin Z.
native industries than has our wal?
What single Republican institu-
tion have we established in the
Philippines to be overthrown by
our withdrawal? There isno one.
We have not even tried to estab-
lish republican institutions there,
but have insisted that they are not
suited to the people of the archi-
pelago. Instead of establishing
republican institutions, we have
ourselves adopted the institutions
of the Spanish monarcy which we
displace. Is not that the excuse
offered for the water cure-that
our soldiers merely adopted meth
ods which they found already ex-
listing in the islands? We have
established the autocratic power OF
rulers appointed by a government
6,U00 miles away. We have es-
tablished sedition laws to enable
these rulers to protect themselves
from local criticism. We have
made political offenses the chief
crimes of our code.
1t is time the government al
Washington stopped fortifyine
itself in self-deception by calling
on the MacArthurs and Otises tc
assure it that the work they have
done has saved the Philippines
for civilization. We have moth.
ing thus far but bloody hands tc
show for the three years occupa
ton of the Philippines. If we are
going to establish civilization there
the time to do something of civ
ilizing nature is now. The way t.
begin is to drop that miscalle6
civil government bill pending IL
the Senate, withdraw the army to {
few central camps, where its per
nicious influence can no longer b'
felt, let the natives of the differen
districts re organize their local gov
ernments, as they had done before
we began war upon them, and al
the barbarous Moros have been al
lowed to do all the while, and sub
stitute policy of conciliation anc
development for one of oppression
and destruction.

be seen that the Japanese are of no
little consideration as taxpayers.
In addition to this large amount in
direct local taxation, the sum paid to
the national treasury in indirect taxa
ton on the consumption of imported
goods from Japan must be much larger.
and Importance of the japanese in this
I have thus far recounted the benefits
country only. But advantages ought to
be and always are reciprocal. Japa-
nese agricultural laborers that have
come here have always found remun
erative employment in the cane fields.
Indeed for two or three years past
wages have increased, perhaps. by one
third. From $50 to s22 and even s24 a
month has been the wage with a great
scarcity of labor at these figures. With
much of the money saved from their
wages, the japanese are enabled to as
sist their relations at home, thus ele
waiting the standard of life in some of
the poorest provinces in Japan.
L think it may be laid down as an in
controvertible economic proposition
that for every dollars worth of wealth
taken away from Hawaii by the ia
panese, they, in form or another, leave
two dollars worth here.
SCHOOLS AND CHARITIES.
Japanese schools and charity organ
iZationS are maintained in Hawaii with
funds voluntarily contributed. In Nuu-
anu street, Honolulu, there is a gram
mar school maintained, the ground,
buildings and fixtures costing several
thousand dollars, contributed by the lc-
cal Japanese residents. The
in number, attend the sessions in the
after they have been at the
public English schools for the REGULAR
five hours. They receive, more partic-
ularly, instruction in the Japanese Ian
guage, in religion and ethics. The To-
cal Japanese residents also maintain
free kindergartens. There is in Homo
lulu Japanese benevolent society that
maintains a charity hospital in which
INDECENT patients are treated free but
in which also those who are able pay.
have never seen a japanese beggar in
the streets of Honolulu, and the man
ager of the Associated Charities in
forms me that no Japanese has ever
called for aid.
AS stated in the foregoing there are
800 odd Japanese children in the public
schools, who. on account of their bright
abilities, studiousness and good con-
1uct are always favorites with their
eachers. The Territory has an admira-
Die system of public schools. all con-
1ucted in the English language AS
'nes language is so is he. They are
aught to think and talk in English:
hey read English books and newspa-
Ders; and if they remain in Hawaii
hey will be-Americans. ,
Mkt Saito Esq, His Imperial Japa- {
lese Majesty's Consul in Hawaii, calls 7
ny attention to the fact that after the I
plague, Japanese immigration greetlv &
decreased until July of 1900. when it en- q
rely ceased; while from $50 to 200 re- t
urned in every one of the four or five t
