INDIFFERENCE AND TIMIDITY.

The opinion seems to prevail in Wash
ington that Representative Crumpacker's
plan for investigating the laws relating to
suffrage in the different States to ascertain
if any of them deprive citizens of the right
TO vote as indicated by the Constitution
will not prevail. One pretext or another is
given for the disinclination or refusal of
Republicans in Congress, which may be
classified as timidity or indifference. No
one denies the charges, which are in the
nature of admitted facts by those who have
been instrumental in DISTINGUISHING a mil
lion voters in Mississippi. Louisiana, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Alabama
Furthermore. most OF those who have been
instrumental in this disfra chising have
openly declared a purpose to evade the
Constitution of the United States. The time
may have come when the men prominent in
the party which came into existence to op-
pose the extension of slavery may avoid
conflict to protect the constitutional rep
resentation of the people In the House of
Representatives and the Electoral College
Such refusal would indicate that equality
IN congress goes loI less IMAM formerly.
In the old Constitution the negro counted
for three-hfths of a free person in the
census for representation in Congress.
doubtless because he was denied suffrage,
but now. when the black is counted entire
for making representatives. he has no
voice in their election. which goes 10 show
that the South has gained\in representation
by tie war Of the rebellion.
One OF the objections to considering the
resolutions of Mr.. Crumpacker is the fear
that il will arouse afresh the political an
tagonisms hstween the South and the
North The justice OF the proposition Is
admitted but action is opposed lest men in
the South become more hostile than they
are TO the Republican party. Since when
have Democratic politicians of the South.

the United States-it is a great thing that
Notwithstanding these disturbing conditions
the foreign commerce of the islands which
is good index of prosperity. has increased
by leaps and bounds since annexation. Ten
years will be a short period in which TO test
fairly the results OF annexation. To at
tempt TO pass conclusive judgment upon it
after less than three years OF trial under
difficult conditions is absurd. One of Mr.
Stead's specifications was that the appli-
cation Of the American coastwise naviga-
ton laws has deprived the islands Of the
use of 371.S6 tons Of shipping annually,
thus Gripping trade and raising freight
rates" In 1897, the year before annexation,
the total merchant marine Of the islands
was given as % O2f tons. Again Mr. Stead
says America has twice prevented
Hawaii from obtaining a cable. Hawaii is
thus cut off from newspaper publicity,
which is essential to securing speedy re-
forms" The fact that the United States is
criticised for not having laid a submarine
cable TO Hawaii within two years after its
annexation shows what kind of benefits are
expected 10 lOllOW the american nag. <Aliu
they will follow. Hawaii will have cable
communication with the United States be-
fore very long. and in the meantime the
islands are not suffering seriously from be-
ing cut off from newspaper publicity. This
newly discovered need Of the islands prob
ably exists chiefly in the imaginations Of
the dissatisfied foreigners whose views Mr..
Stead is vocing.
The time is not Opportune to deny or de-
cry the benefits of annexation TO the United
States. With Cuba metamorphosed and
regenerated by less than three years OF
American rule; with Porto Rico throbbing
with new life and prosperity and rejoicing
to be under the American flag; with civil
government extending and schoolhouses
springing up throughout the Philippines,
and with the Danish government predicting
for our new West India possessions much
greater prosperity than they ever enjoyed
under Danish rule. it is time wasted for any
Engishman TO assert that annexation is a
failure in Hawaii.

RAILROADS As EDUCATORS.

The work done by railroads in dissem-
mating population. developing the country
and subduing the continent has been often
commented on, but their influence as edu-
Gators and as teachers of morals and
manners has been overlooked. There is
reason to believe they are exercising quite
an important influence in that direction.
1t is not intended to imply that they are
sctuated to any great extent by moral
motives. If railroads extend their lines
into new regions and assist in developing
the country it is not from patriotic mo-
tives, but in order to create business, and
if they adopt and enforce rules relating
to the manners and morals of their en-
ployes 1t is presumably because they ex-
pect IN the long run to profit by them.
A few instances may be cited. During the
last few years many of the leading rail-
roads have prohibited their employees from
using intoxicating liquors during business
hours. and recently one or two roads have
announced that the rule will be enforced
without any exception to hours. They
will make total abstinence prerequisite
to employment. and drinking cause for
discharge. The enforcement of such
rule by one road is likely to be followed
by others, and its moral effect in favor
OF temperance will be considerable. Again,
1t was stated not long ago that one of the
leading Western roads had adopted code
of manners for it's employees. which was
intended to make them more guarded in
speech and more polite in their conduct.
and they would be drilled into compliance
with it. Another company has announced
that hereafter an educational test will be
applied to all persons seeking positions ON
its road. and that no person will be en-
ployed who fails to come UP to the stand
ard of a good common-school education
The presumption is the managers Of the
road think that persons possessing some
education will render better service than
those who are utterly ignorant. They may
think also that in a country. of public
schools the lack of at least a common
school education is presumptive evidence
OF a weak, triing or vicious character.
This is a commercial age, and in these
days Of fierce competition great corpora
tions adopt every conceivable means of
securing the best class of employees and the
best service possible. They are not noted
for paying extravagant wages. and they
want more than their moneys worth, if
they can get ii. 1t is not to be supposed
that the rules which many roads are
adopting regarding their employees are in
~
the contrary, they are undoubtedly intend
ed to benefit the roads, but their tendency
is none the less educational.
