about 4 service pension Of $1,000
per month for the soldiers Of the
civil war. II is estimated that It
will add all the way from Sro,ooo,-
900 to $so,ooo,oo to the pension
budget Of the government.
II congress will stop raising the
big pensions and give more atten-
ton to the little ones. then congress,
as well as the people. win learn
more shout the pension business.
There are but few old soldiers m
this community who are not entitled
to $is.oo per month under the law
as It is, IL they had what is justly
due them. Every other community
can be judged by this one The
consequence is, there is a continual
stream of applications for increases
going into the pension bureau, which
will continue until the soldiers get
what they know they are entitled to.
The present method Of granting
pensions, only plays into the hands
of the pension attorneys, giving
them three or four fees instead of
one, and giving the Examining sur
geons three or Jour fees for exam
ination, when they should have only
one under the law as il now is.
Besides there is the expenses
heaped upon the soldiers who APP
ply Tor the pensions and the in
ereases. We heard recently of a
soldier who has been before differ
ens examining boords twenty-seYeu
times. which, il examined by a full
board every time. would make the
government out of pocket SI2I.so
on this one case, which would
nearly pay this mans pension at
fI7.oo per month for N year.
We know a number Of men who
have been examined FIVE or more
times, all ., the cost of the govern
ment. All this would be saved
and a large portion of the 1900
clerks IN Washington could soon be
discharged and their salaries saved.
In fact we do not believe there
would be any material increase in
the pension appropriation sitter tbs
first tour or FIVE years.
Then there is a question Of fair
ness in this pension business. The
government has paid to the men
who loaned her the money to put
down the rebellion, about, in round
numbers, $1,000. ooo, 700, oye S.

Now, why not pay the men who

has paid to the soldiers who saved
the union, since 1861, less thar

HEG|RA Of
PORTUGUESE
Mr.. OIiveira Believes
Planters Could
Stop It.

]. B. Oliveira of Hilo is in town look.
ing after q homestes d interest with the
Government. To an Advertiser report
err who met him in the Capitol, Mr.
Oliveira deplored the hegira of Portu-
guese from the Territory which Is TAX
Ing place.
"The Portuguese are leaving the ISL
ands by hundreds, yet there is a COM
plant by the planters that they can
not get enough labor" the Hilo man
said.
"why don't they go to work on the
plantations? Because they want better
wages than the planters will give them.
The Portuguese can do more work than
the Japanese and the Porto Ricans.
They raise families respectfully and
want better houses than the planters
tions.''
Mr.. Olfveira spoke Of his countrymen
as having made good citizens in Ha-
wall, mentioning instances of their
young men who had done and were do
ing we'll in business and the legal pro-
fession. When the Portuguese had been
given q chance on the plantations, they
had transformed the plots on which
their houses stood into fruitful gardens.
Evidences of this thrift were marked
at Hone lsaa for instance.
"Outside of few plantations in Hilo
district" Mr. Oliveira said. 1.-The con-
dition of laborers' quarters has not i'm
proved from fifteen years ago. The
Portuguese have to live in houses where
you may look through cracks in the
walls. There are better houses at Pc
peekeo than on any other plantation in
the Hilo district. Mr.. Deacon treats
the Portuguese better than any other
manager on Hawaii. Still there are
only about twelve Portuguese families
at Pepeekeo where formerly there were
forty.
when was a schoo, teacher at Ho-
noniu sixteen years ago there were
eighty-seven Portuguese families on
the plantation. Now there are about
six or seven. Hakalau had forty fami-
lies of Portuguese, where today there
are only six or seven individuals and
but two of them married men. Homo
hina has three families to twenty FORM
erly, while the Portuguese at Papaaloa
have decreased from 200 families to
four or five.
Portuguese have been given cane
planting contracts at Pepeekeo, Papai-
kou and Waiakea, and have done well
with them, but the planters on Ha-
wall as rule would rather give con-
tracts to the Japanese"
Mr.. Oliveira being asked what terms
would suit the Portuguese and induce
them to give their labor to the plan
ters. He answered.:
"Teamsters at Honomu get 81 day.
If the planters give the Portuguese $24
month they can have all the labor
they want, and they can afford to do it.
The Portuguese would want better
houses than the common run of labor
ers' quarters, also fair supply of fire.
wood. In some places now a family
is allowed only a few sticks Of wood to
do for a week"
