REDUCE INSPECTION FEES.
Minnesota to Lower Charges for Grad.
ina Grain.

Minnesota to Lower Charges for Grad.
5s ing Grain.
st. Paul, Dec. 26.-The state railroad
commission has announced that in the
near future reduction would be made
in grain inspection fees of at least 20
per cent. This will amount to 5 cents
on the car, and will average about
$4,000 a year; with business as good
as it has been there would still be a
good surplus over all expenses.
The grain inspection department has
a $11A,000 surplus. AS the fees can be
used only for the maintenance of the
inspection department, and the excess
of income over expenses goes into a
surplus fund to the credit of the de-
partment, the reduction of fees is
thought to be advisable.
d On Dec. 1, 1901, the surplus amount
ed to SS7,7S3.10, and on Dec. l of this
year it was $114,35216, a net gain of
$32,669.06 in just one year.

CHINESE LABoRERs WANTED.
Their Importation Will Be Resisted by
Labor Unions in Hawaii.

# Honolulu, Dec. 8, via San Francisco
labor commissioner appointed by Sec
retary Shaw to visit the Philippine
and Hawaiian islands, is here. He
said:
Il believe that the Importation of ne.
groes hese forms natural solution of
the difficulty which unavoidably fol-
lows the absorption of tropical or semi
tropical countries by the United
States. In the Southern states and in
the Carolinas the negro made the in
dustries what they are. 2
The commissioner said that there
might be difficulty in OBTAINING the ne
gro here, but he thought that the plant
ers could get all they wanted if they
sent the right sort of agents after
them You could get 10000 here in
six months,' he said.
In view of the news from Washing
ton that the senate gave a hostile re-
ception to the plan for allowing Chi
nese%to enter Hawaii as laborers, the
views Of Commissioner Fortune have
attracted much attention here. Hawaii
is in need of more labor. The Mer.
FCHautS association, Ddckeu ny LIE
Builders and Traders Exchange and
other similar organizations, is prepar
ing to make fight in support OF the
plan offered by the plantation men to
secure legislation from congress allow
ing the importation of Chinese labor
ers for plantation work only, under Ger
tain restrictions. Local labor unions
have decided against the proposition

AN ANaLohMERlcAN uNIoN.

The Utoplan scheme Of Cecil Rhodes and other
Englshmeu for a federation Of the United States and
the British empire raises some curious questions or

would require extended discussion and debate.
What will occur to most Americans as the primary
stumbling block is His Majesty King Edward VII. We
are by no means prepared TO undo The work OF our
fathers and let the great grandson OF George I'll reign

England is much curtailed and that cosuming and
ceremony incorporating and mummery form the major
part Of the practical royal prerogatiye The name of
king IS hateful to Americans, TO the Romans of OLD.
Il the English should ever propose to us to unite with
them in common federation, the first requirement
that would come from this side OF the water would be
the deposition OF King Edward.
Now, while this obstacle, OF which all Enghshmen
who favor the great federation plan must be perfectly
aware might seem a trIhng one to colonial like
