BACK TO CANE
FIELDS IS PLAN

Back to the fields is the plan or
which the committees of the Trade:
Council. the Builders and Traders Elk
change and the Merchants Association
are progressing in their preliminary ac-
| lions in regard to the proposed census
Of the Oriental population of the city
of Honolulu. The idea animating the
men who have taken up the matter de-
cidedly is that it will show that
there are several thousands of men in
the city who might just as well or bet
ter be on the plantations.
The committee which has been ap-
pointed for the purpose of ascertaining
Just how many Orientals are in the city,
has found already that il faces hard
er proposition than was supposed when
it began its work. The fact that none
of the many plans which have been
proposed gives exactly the number of
men who are able for field work is one
of the drawbacks and consequently the
people who have the matter in hand be-
Iieve that they win have to ask that
the Legislature take up the work and
provide that one of the departments of
the government furnish the needed in
formation.
One member of the committee stated
yesterday that he was of opinion that
there are now in Honolulu not less than
8 900 men who might be on the plan
and some who would be forced
to go there if the avenues of labor in
the city were closed to them. OF this
number it is the belief that 1900 could

THE SHOPS PROPOSITION.

In order that the people who will
be solicited to subscribe to the bonus
which is being raised to secure the
location OF the Missouri Pacific shops
at Lexington may know just what
the proposition is, the following
statement is made upon the basis Of
the best imforma ion o~btainable:
The shops will be the largest be-
longing to the Missouri Pacific system:
will consist Of eight bulldogs having
under roof eleven acres; will employ
1000 skilled mechanics, who with their
families will add to the population
$500 to 5000 people; will have a pay
roll Of 500, 600 per month; the orig
inal construction and equipment, with
tracks will cost about 81, 600, 900
A pay roll of $500 600 per month
amounts to 81, 200, 900 per year-a
sun greater than the value Of the an
nual output Of coal for the whole
county, according to the report of
the state bureau Of mining. Tie
increase 10 the value OF property
may be estimated bv a comparison
with The increase which has resulted
in The past three or four years from a
mod rate growth Ut population and a
moderate improvement in business
prosperi'y-due chiefly to the fur
ther development OF the MINIS To
the real estate owner the question is,
''what can afford to give to have
Lexington made Immediately a town
10000 TO 1900 nhabitants?" To
the merchant the question is, what
can l afford TO give to increase the
trade Of Lexington by 500, 900 per
month";"
The considerations which may in
duce the railroad to locate its shops
here are as follows: water, coal, health,
location on what is now and what
will ever be its greatest freight line,
and the fact that by enlarging the
population and the business of Lex
ingtoui it will be building up one of its
most important non-competitiye
points.

THE PACKERS COMBINE.

The Kansas City Star is beginning
a war on the packers. The reputa
tion of the Star as a sandbagger is not
such as to lend much credit to the dis.
nterestedness of its attack But the
facts it cites are i%ncontestible. Meat
is higher and cattle lower than for
two years or more. Moreover the
packers Of Kansas City have ceased to
employ city solicitors and to deliver
meat in their own wagons, This
looks very much like a combine to
avoid competition. Their country
solicitors are perhaps as actively
engaged in keeping an eye out for
independent butchers as in selling
their wares. What is to be done
about it? Less than a year ago our
encouragement got Judgment against
the packers for unlawful combination
under the antitrust laws of the state.
They were fined the maximum
$4,000. This is perhaps less than the
combine makes in a day by violating
the law.
There are thousands Of political
quacks everywhere who think that
just laws can be made as easily as
horse shoe nails and that once made
they will enforce themselves 1t is
exceedingly doubtful whether iegisla-
tion a reach such cases except
destructive legislation An attempt
to regulate concerns like these enga-
ged 10 such profitable robbery can
hardly fail te bring them as a cor
rupting element into politics The
baking powder trust as compared with
the packers combine is as a speck of
dust to Pixies Peak. If such con-
Germs find it necessary to BUY up

Mr.. HAYES SPEECH.

Mr.. Harry Halves speech at Han
nible on the 18th is the most remark
able ~utterance of the state campaign.
1t is the most comprehensive, fair
spirited, clear, and self consistent
statement Of the situation in Mi souri,
thus far made. The INTELLIGENCER
has no means Of verifying many Of
the statements Of fact in this speech,
but the arguments from these facts
are unshakabie. What he has to say
is no rehashiug of old stories. 1t is
the bravest, sanest, truest note that
has been sounded 10 the campaign
The lNTELLIGENCER wishes to pre-
sent to its readers fairly the merits
Of the propositions upon which they
will be called to pass in primaries or
conventions and 10 general election;
and was unwilling to promise 10
advance to print MI. Hawes' speech,
knowing that he had ground for some
personal prejudice and fearing that
he might be tempted to inject into
his speech some personal animus,
which is neither here nor there to'the
public at large. He did nothing of
the kind, and if possible, the full text
Of Mr.. HAYES speech will appear in
these columns next week. 1t is
hoped that every subscriber of the
INTELLIGENCER will read it through.

Labor troubles in various sections
OF the United States threaten to con-
tribute TO the termination of the era
OF prosperity through which we have
been passing There are many other
causes operating toward the same end,
but less directly. Speculation has
been transferring accumulated wealth
from some pockets to other pockets,
but strikes are |curtailing the produc-
tion of wealth. The production of
wealth may stop but its consumption
goes on. Everyone knows that a
general drouth throughout the United
States would seriously impair bust.
ness prosperity. A general suspen-
sion OF labor would rapidly produce
the same result. A million opera
tiyes out of employment means the
positive loss of several millions of dol
lars per day In the products of such
labor In a few months the total
footing becomes enormous In the
West vast numbers Of mines both Of
the precious metals and of coal are
out 90 a strike and have been for
months Ia the East, troubles with
mechanics and builders have almost
put a stop 70 construction enterprise.
The time has almost come anyhow
for n OF those intermediate periods
of legislation which come around
about every ten years Severity hard
times are not to be looked for, accor-
ding to the best judges 10 these mat
tiers, but it is more than likely that
the lines will be drawn a little closer
10 the neal future, and that the
career of speculation will receive a
check.

Mr.. Haseltine's letter, published
10 this issue of the INTELLIeENCER,
borders very closely upon the theories
of the socialists. 1t may be that
changed conditions will force a change
10 some of the principles of democ-
racy, but it seems doubtful whether
the advantage gained by government
operation of monopoiistic enterprises
will Offset the evils of government
patronage and consequent corruption.

OLNEY FOR PRESIDENT.

st. Louis Republic OF Wednesday says
that it Is currently reported at the
capital that Bryan, Towne and a
number OF their friends had a con-
ference before Bryan sailed for
Europe AMI agreed to urge the Selec-
tlou Of Richard Olney, Of MaSsachu-
sets, as the democratic nominee for
the presidency in 1904. IL seems
hardly possible that this could be
true, for the reason that although
Olney voted for Bryan upon the
ground of the other issues Of the
campaign, he was never in sympathy
with the free silver issue and made
no effort to conceal it. There are
other reasons why the selection of
Mr.. Olney would be remarkable. He
is the most distinguished example Of
the scholar in politics in recent
political history Of America. He has
one Of the most vigorous and M Of
the most thoroughly trained minds in
this country; and scholarship has not
made him an insipid toady like John
Hay nor a garrulOus old granny like
Senator HOar.
When Cleveland entered upon his
second term he made the inexcusable
political biunder of appointing that
able iurist and pure man, Judge
Gresham, TO be his secretary OF state
1t was the n office for which he was
not fitted. The Venezuelan tr uble
was on and England was on the point
Of making a rent in the Monroe doc
triue that could never have been
repaired. Cleveland's attention was
fixed on getting a tariff reform bill
through congress and his blood was
up Gresham was 10 match for the
British diplomats, and he neither had
the penetration to see 0 the nerve
to withstand British diplomatic
strategy. Happily for the country and
u%nhappily for the fame Of this great
iurist and good man he died. Richard
Olney was called to his place. Almost
at a glance he comprehended the
situation and from his first dispatch
England knew that she was dealing
with a very different man. Still she
pursued her determination Olney
made Cleveland to see the m|omentous
and far reaching consequences of the
issue, and in the trenchant language
of the former and with the brutal
bluntness Of the latter Americas
ultimatum was drafted. For a few
days there was talk of war, nothing
but war. The timld "interests" in
the East qusked 10 their boots.
America was not ready for war, But
Olney knew as no other American
seemed to know that England was
not ready for wal 7OtH 4mey1ca and
eve would be. The standing OF
this country as one of the powers OF
the world dates from that day.
Richard Olney is the incarnation Of
intellectual honesty He is as in
capable of self deception or prejudice
as a c)mptometer. AS an orator and
as a writer he doesn't shine, he
bristles. An electric energy vitalizes
his every thought and word You
never think of resisting HIM but of
gathering up your p%rejudices and
standing out Of his way. There are
hundreds of thousands of lmocrats
wis would not agree with some of
Mr.. Olney's ideas, but he would never
compromise a conviction or do or say
a fool thing.

X. h. Youngis a name almost syn
onymous today With Missouri in fiction.
1t is non.commital enough TO arouse
curiosity and probably few readers
know that 1t belongs to a woman. Miss
Young has inst brought out her first
novel IN Missouri life, "Sally of Mis-
souri,, " but she has assured her posi-
ton as a writer of Missouri fiction by
many short stories published ID The
Atlantic and elsewhere. Miss Young
is a M~issourian, as would naturally be-
supposed, and spent most Of her life In
Lexington, a little river town not far
from Kansas City. But being some
what Of an idealist as a child, she re-
belled at her environment and longed
to get away, as she expresses it, to
places where she could find "Kings
and Queens and Palaces and things
worth writing about, for she always
had the desire 10 write. s'But the
laugh is on me in this" she says; l
must confess that I took the first step
toward success on the day that l de.
cided that | would write about Mis-
