THE AYLETT BILL AGAIN.

There are numerous precedents in
support of the legality of the Aylett bill.
If it be contrary to existing treaties
how about tie United States law re-
curing that masters and men of Amer
lean vessels shall be citizens? Lam
guage comes next to residence in the
qualifications for citizenship, so that
the foreigner, not understanding the
language, is debarred from earning his
living in this important and tempting
field of industry. Had the principle
involved in the Aylett bill been con-
trary to treaty arrangements. the ship
ping laws of the United States would
long ago have involved us in trouble
with every nation on earth.-1ndepend-
ent.
The nation has certain reserved
rights under the Constitution, among
them the control and regulation of It's
commerce. No treaty can violate them.
But all national rights are not con-
ferred upon States, Territories or mu-
inequalities; and no such inferior power
can make regulations subversiVe OF
privileges enjoyed by foreigners under
the most favored nation clause in
national treaties. Hawaii, for example,
can no more require that a hickman
shall speak English or Hawaiian than
that saloon keeper, merchant, a
huckster or any one else working under
n local license, shall do so. If Por-
tuguese or a Japanese, who speaks his
mother tongue only is driving hack in
Honolulu he cannot be cut off from
this means of livelihood by the pro-
visions of the Aylett bill. He will find
ample means of redress when 1t comes
to local interference with his vested
rights to earn his living without first
learning a new language. Think of ar
resting foreigner because he can't
speak English or Hawaiian!

NOT AN lNFANTILE NAVY.

The comment of Berlin paper, fol-
lowing Admiral Dewey's structures, that
the American Navy is suffering from
infantile disease would be whittier IL
true. The American Navy is over a
century and a quarter old while the
German Navy Is one of the youngest In
the world. Before 1870 no German state
sought sea power, the Prussian war
marine being of such nominal strength
that ii cut no figure in the war with
France; but as far back as 1II6 the
American Navy was making Roadway
against the greatest naval power In the
world The armed ships of the United
States were the first to resist the trib-
ute exacted of Mediterranean COM
merce by the Dey of Algiers; they
made distinguished record in the war
of 1872; at Shimonosek they did their
part in subduing Japan's rebellious
clansmen: during the Civil war, Ameri-
cans. through the invention of the IRON
clad and the monitor, revolutionized
the worlds navies; and in that period
the United States had the largest arm
ed fleet anoat. Although Europe ac-
Spain a naval match for this
country when the war of 1898 broke out
the Americans sunk or captured every
Spanish vessel which came out to fight.
No navy has fought more battles In
the same period of time and lost fewer
Of them than has the Americana; ana
with its record in two centuries un-
furnished it has a right to disdain the
from any quarter and espe-
cially from a brand-new naval estab-
ishment, that its belief in itself is
fault of mmaturity,

THE TELEPHONE QUESTION.
rrhe of,icial and commercial Record

| The Merchants Association and the
| Chamber of Commerce have both met,
| appointed committees, who In turn
have appointed disinterested experts,
who have examined the Mutual Tele-
phone Company's system and cross
examined its manager. The experts
have reported, the committees have re-
ported and the associations have act
ed, in each case unanimously. The
one decision arrived at is that the ex-
listing system Is 80 bad that nothing
but practical reconstruction in large
part, Will remedy the situation III
This were all, the outlook would not
be so bad; but the worst of 1t Is that
the new construction now going on,
is of the same faulty character which
has mainly caused the break down of
the present system, viz: the use or
porcelain knobs instead of glass in
sulators to support the wires. The
government electric inspector, Mr.
Hasson, and the three experts who
acted for the mercantile organizations,
all state that the use of the porcelain
insulators is the main cause of the
trouble. The Superintendent of the
Company, Mr.. Lehigh, alone maintains
that they should be used. The reasons
in their favor are that they are cheap
and thai they are small, allowing more
wires on cross arm than If the
larger glass insulators are used. The
reply is that both reasons are insuffi-
cient in view of the fact that the por-
celain insulator does not insulate in
wet weather, while a glass one does.
The contention of the experts Is
borne out by the results, for it is COM
mon knowledge that telephones which
work fairly well in dry weather, go
out of commission with the first show
er. The only possible explanation of
this Is, that the insulation being de-
fective, the electric current leaks off
the wire through each defective insu-
lator, until none is left with which to
transmit the message.
With such construction going on,
and being justified by the Company,
there is no improvement in sight, and
the merchants have been oluctantly
compelled to decide that the only avail
able relief is q new system.
Having arrived at this decision, If
the merchants think that the an
nouncement of their opinion is going
to settle the matter, they are very
much mistaken. The existing COM
pany will naturally make a fight for
its monopoly; it has strong supporters
in the legislature and many unforeseen
obstacles will have to be overcome.
If the merchants mean business, and
want to make their desires effectual,
they should appoint a strong commit
tee to press the subject, with power to
act If this is not done the whole agi
tation is liable to fizzle out like a wet
fire cracker.
What is now needed is not talk but
a telephone system that will work.
Nothing but action, and vigorous ac
ton, will produce this result.

ALIEN LABORERS.

Representative Harris brought out
one of the Inconsistencies of the act,
which received the approval of the
majority of the members of the House
bearing upon the employment or citl-
zen labor on public contracts, when he
asked If any one thought that any
court order could remove from office
the Secretary of the Territory. appoint
ed by the President of the United
States or the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, appointed by the Governor
by and with the consent of the Sen
ate.
The Intellectually of the measure Is
shown however when one takes 1t IN
connection with the recent decision or
the court of appeal of New York, on a
case which would be entirely similar
to any that might be brought under
the enactment just made. There Is
law of the same nature on the statute
books of the State of New York, the
provision being against the employment
of alien labor of any character, on pun
lie works in the state. This was passed
not for the purpose of affecting Orien-
tails, but of keeping Italians and Poles
off the great enterprises which are I'M
der way and being considered in the
Empire state,
Controller Bird Coler, one of the re-
form administration of the metropolis,
withheld payments for work done I'M
der contract on the city hall, there be-
ing allegations that the contractor had
employed aliens on the work. The
Court of Appeals has now decided that
there is no such control possible over
the acts of a contractor If he is given
the work, the party having the work
done deals only with him, and the KIND
of labor employed, and the methods
which are followed in the doing or the
work. so long as they conform to the
contract specifications, are not within
the purview of the state or city. Such
a precedent would smash the local law
as it Is drawn,

AMERlCANlZE THE LAND.

The way to become American is to
become American. 1t is one of the rec
ognized weak points in the economic
system of the Territory of Hawaii that
there Is not here, as there is on the
mainland of the United States, any
strong, prosperous middle class form
ing the bone and sinew of the land.
There is, in effect, no farming COM
munity. 1t is the farming commune
ties, in America, that form the political
corrective the balance wheel that holds
the republic from swinging into the
perils of oligarchy, on one side, into the
perils of anarchy on the other. If the
people of the cities ruled America, the
land would become either a sink of
nameless corruption or its institutions
would sink into the red sea of anarchy,
and either destiny would be achieved
with alarming suddenness. glance
at the civic conditions on the mainland
shows why this is So and must be so.
The electorate in the cities is not an
honest electorate, although it may try
to be. 1t cannot be honest against the
temptations of corrupt politicians on
the one hand and the temptations OF
demagogues miscalled reformers on the
other who fight blindly, blind leaders of
the blind against the existence of con-
dtions they feel to be wrong but the
reason for whose being they cannot
comprehend and the remedies for whose
evils they would not know how to APP
ply, even If they held the proper cura-
tive agents.
Nobody, in America, is ever surprised
at the exposures of corruption made in
the government of great cities. Citi-
zens are so little surprised that those
of them who deprecate such conditions
most emphatically become discouraged
at times and fail of their plain civic
duty in declining to take part in mu-
nicipal politics-and then corruption
runs madden than ever for the reason
that the local check upon it is removed.
1t is Ahen that the strong conserva-
tive sense of the country districts
comes into play, and the farmers awak-
en- and save the nation. The farmers,
to be sure, have their midsummer mad
ness. They go off after strange gods.
at odd times, and become populists and
Bryanites and what not-but never
enough of them go off at the same time
to deliver the land to destruction.
There is always n strong, sober-minded
majority, with a stake in the country
and a sufficient prosperity under exist
ing conditions to make them refuse to
accept quack political nostrums for
economic evils that in the end will reg
ulate themselves by the working of
economic law.
And 1t is this middle class that is
needed in this Territory, as it Is needed
in every American territory that hopes
to become an American state. States
