Labor for Panama.

A representative of the Chinese COM
panies has made proposition to our
government to furnish from 900 to
10000 laborers on the Panama canal,
at sixty cents per day for each laborer.
This includes transportation, subsis.
tence IN every way, care from native
doctors in sickness, and return Of bod
les Of those who die to the mother
country. In fact, it is planned to
make the living and working condi-
tions similar to those OF their native
land. The laborers are to be taken
from the southern part OF China, where
climatic conditions are similar to those
OF the isthmus. The company is en-
tirely responsible, and its capital listed
at 100000.
The prejudice that exists, and very
properly too, against the employment
of Asiatic labor, in any form, by our
government, is based upon reason, and
applies where it may be brought in
competition with the white lsborer,
who has been accustomed to three
square meals day for himself and
family, but we think all such consider
atoms are overcome by the fact that
the climatic conditions at Panama are
entirely unsuited to people from the
temperate zone; that the percentage
OF deaths of the white race employed
in the malarial districts would be such
as to absolutely preclude employment
OF workmen from this country. These
conditions are none too favorable for
the yellow man, but the plan of organ
ization OF coolie labor lie such that
they can be sent without considera-
ton of danger to limb or life from ma.
ture of the service or the conditions of
climate.
1t has not yet been decided by the
canal commission whether the work
will be done by contract or by the
government. Should the latter course
be adopted, undoubtedly the PROPOSE
ton submitted by Mr.. H. l.. Curry,
representative of the Chinese compa.
MES. will receive due consideration.
1t is the only proposition yet submit
ted for coolie labor which seems to be
unobjectionab.e from insuperable con-
ditions fixed by nature. A syndicate
OF Eastern men who had figured upon
a supply OF from 1000 to 10000 ne.
groes from Alabama. accustomed to
work on railroad construction and in
ured by climatic conditions somewhat
similar, graded their labor at from
$l.lO to $l.75 per day. II is said that
with the knowledge before them, q
part OF the commission favors con-
struction by the government under
their own direction, and it is quite
probable that this may be the ultimate
determination.

What Shall We Exhibit at the Fairp

The display at each succeeding
meeting of the Horticultural Society
OF fruit and vegetables is larger and
better than the last, showing that an
increasing interest is taken in natural
products of climate and soil. Among
the exhibits last Saturday, were, fine
box OF September strawberries by K.
II. Carpenter; Gravenstein apples,
from the Swan orchard; Alexander,
COrter, Clyde Beauty and Paradise
Sweet apples, butter and vinegar, ex-
Inhibited by q. NJ. Savage and Brown
Corn Millet, by Mr.. Chilson. These
products are the result of ordinary
conditions, snd demonstrate a high
order of exhibit should the usual at
tention be paid to selection and adap-
tation at each step, as is usual in pro.
ducing prize productions.
The joint committee with the Cham
m OF Commerce reported, at the last
meeting of that body. encouraging pro-
gress in arrangement of preliminaries
in creating an interest for Thurston
county exhibit at the Lewis and Clark
Fair next year. Their main effort has
been TO enlist each farmer in produc-
ing some farm, garden or orchard pro-
duet for which his soil is adapted and
h!s methods OF culture give promise Of
the best development. and to arouse
an ambition among craftsmen in wood
and metals to produce something that
will demonstrate adaptation to artistic
beauty or utilitarian uees of the ma.
tural resources of our country. The
native woods afford a wide field for
display of beauty in grain as we'll as
serviceable qualities for many uses.
Our clays are said to possess excellent
adaptation for pottery wares and paw.
ing brick.
Arrangements are being made for
care of products that may be submit.
ted to the committee, from time to
time, and later on, plans will be SUBJ
mitted for the most effective way OF
presenting the display at the exhibi-
ton. Just now, suggestions are in or.
der, and the Horticultural Society and
the Chamber OF Commerce urge every
body having a plan to propose, with
that object in view, to attend one OF
the other and make them known. We
are now gathering information, and
later on it will be the endeavor to EN-.
body it in a systematic method to.
wards the important object of making
our resources known to those seeking
objects of enterprise or permanent
homes.
The next meeting OF the Horticult.
ural Society will be held on the Sec
ond Saturday of October, the 9Th day
OF that month.

A Bill By Representative Watts.

DR.. Van Watts, Representative
from this county, introduced the
following bill in the House last
Thursday:
An act to amend Section 1174
of the Annotated Code of 1892,
as amended by Chapter IS of the
laws of 1896, so as to change the
penalty and provide that the per-
son from whom the property is
stolen shall receive the value OF
the property stolen.
Section /. Be 1t enacted by the
Legislature of the State of Mis-
sissippi, that Section liza Of the
Annotated Code of 1892, as
amended by Chapter IS of the
laws of 1895, be and the same is
hereby amended so as to read as
follows:
If any person shall feloniously
take, steal OF carry away any per-
sonal property of another, under
the value of twenty-five dollars.
he shall be guilty of petit lar
ceny, and shall be punished by
Imprisonment in the county jail
not exceeding three months ano
shall be fined not under the value
of the property stolen, and moi
exceeding One hundred dollars,
out of which fine the owner Of
the property stolen shall first be
paid the value of the property
stolen, should the same not be re
covered; but should the property
stolen be restored to the owner
then out of the saiG fine he shall
be paid only all expenses incurred
by him in recovering the prop
erty stolen.
Section 2. That this act shall
take effect from and after its pas
sage.
The bill was referred to thu
judiciary Committee.
DR.. Watts, in a note to the
editor, says: Il think the only
opposition to the bill will be OF
the ground that it would impost
imprisonment for debt, but l con
tend this is not true. The flint
would only be in the nature of {
penalty prescribed by law for {
generally recognized crime, anc
incidentally to this, the STATE
makes restitution to the injured
party at the expense of the Grim
inal, within the limits pre-
Scribed."
