UNDATED RESERVATIONS.

Governor Carter is quite right in re-
turning to district magistrates the I'M
dated designations which they had
placed in his hands. This paper be-
lieves in the undated resignation so far
as it applies to the heads of bureaus
of the Executive department over
which the Governor presides. 1t is
right that he should have the same
power of summary removal of bureau
chiefs that the President has of cabinet
officers. But courts are another mat
ter. No Governor should be in a posi-
ton to control courts or legislatures
which, under the American system of
checks and balances. are supposed to
have coordinate power with that of
the Executive. This paper anticipated
trouble over the control exercised by
Governor Carter of the district magis-
trates and trouble would have come
this morning in the Dow case but for
the decision of Governor Carter to leave
the district magistrates free hand.

STIMULUS TO VOTING.

At last they have bit upon a scheme
to make people come out and vote anu
punish them if they don't We quote
from the Boston Herald as follows:
Under the new election law the name
of every citizen in st. Louis who fails
to vote will be printed and kept on nle
by the election commissioners. 1t Is
hoped in this way that the citizens can
be induced to pay more attention to
elections 1t will be to an extent ike
posting member for dues at club,
dfsagreeable. but frequently effective,
way of collecting what is owed. In
New York non-voters are given the
preference on the jury list. That Is,
those who do not vote are first drawn
for Jury service Business men, who
naturally wish to avoid the loss of time
entaiIed by jury service, viii, it is ex-
pected be careful to see to it that their
votes are recorded. This plan has not
been tried, we believe, in an actual
election as yet. Doubtless there will
be bitter complaint from those who md
that they have been drawn for an I'M
pleasant duty, from which their neigh
bors and friends have escaped by going
TO the polls and declaring their political
preference. But. after all, is 1t not dis
couraging that voters have to be thus
coerced in order to induce them to do
their civic duty? That is one of the
serious problems that confront many OF
our municipalities, the indifference OF
the voters who neither take the trouble
to have themselves registered, or, If
registered, fail TO vote In the major
ity OF cases these deIinquents are men
who can easily spare an hour to vote,
and who would not hesitate for mo-
ment to devote tenfold the time needed
TO register and vote for the sake of
either detail of their business or their
amusement.
The jury duty clause would do away
with the principal objection that busy
men in Honolulu have to registering.

AS TO REASONS,

The catechism class led by Deacon
Andrews met at the Moana Hotel last
night and was told that no reasons had
yet been given why, the three shaky
nominees on the Republican House
ticket should be beaten.
Were it not for the high respect the
Advertiser has for Deacon Andrews
brains, this paper would respond in
terms OF DR.. Johnson that it is easier
to give a man reasons than it. is to
give MIN mind to receive them
Surely there were reasons enough stat
ed in yesterdays paper. why the three
candidates should be scratched. 1t was
urged that they are incompetent, ire
sponsible and that two of them are
legislative tools. reasons the Advertiser
would be glad to have candidly debated
by the catechism class when 1t meets
again. If there are any replies worth
hearing the Advertiser viii transmit
them to the public besides following the
usual custom with catechism classes of
giving each member a blue ticket and.
when enough of them are earned, to
exchange them for moral book.

Haywood on Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-Wiliiarn
Haywood, the representative in this
country of the Hawaiian sugar plant
ers, has just returned from Honolulu.
He says that business is thriving there,
but that the great need of the islands
is good labor.
Il could guarantee to provide good.
steady employment for $4,000 American
workingmen. said Mr. Haywood to-
day, IF they would be willing to live in
Hawaii. What our people need more
than anything else is labor. Every per-
son who leaves the islands to visit
foreign country has his expenses paid
by the planters if he will agree to look
about outside of the beaten paths of
travel for some good laborers. Our peo-
pie would be willing to pay liberal
wages to 100000 American citizens who
wanted to become permanent citizens
of that country. When we ask Con-
gress for modified immigration law
that viii admit to the islands Chinese
coolies, we are told that there is plenty
of labor to be had in the United States
But we have been unable to find any
number of American working1nen who
care to go to Hawaii 10 work in the
sugar fields. OF course there is a limit
on the pay we can give to this kind of
labor. AS it is now, our expenses are
so great that it costs Hawaiian sugar
SIS a ton to market it in this country
against 81 a ton for Cuban sugar

science, to reform and there is more

the part of the Grand Jury.

BISHOP REsTARIgK
ON MISSION WORK

BOSTON, October I4-The two
houses of the Episcopal general conven-
ton sat jointly yesterday afternoon as
the board of missions and listened to
addresses on the subject of The Mis-
sions in the islands" Bishop Tuttfe
presided and the speakers were Bishop
Restarick of Honolulu who told of the
work in Hawaii; Bishop Brent of til,
Philippines and Bishop Van Buren, OF
Porto Rico. Bishop Restarick spoke
first, saying in part:
81 believe there is no place where can
be seen to greater advantage the sue
cess of missions Despite every effort
at disparagement, the fact remains that
in the last century an entire people
not only became Christian, but through
the efforts of the missionaries had a
system of public schools, and an insti-
tuition of learning preparatory for en-
trance to college, long before there was
a school in California. The Hawaiian
people, while usually of INDECENT tenn
permanent, yet have always valued edu-
cation, and there are many who are in
telligent and refined and are at home in
any society.
The white man, while their friend in
carrying to them the gospel and all
that it means in law and custom, yet
has also been their enemy in taking to
them diseases and vices which have
tended. with the stress of competition,
to decimate this kindly, generous peo-
pie, with whom Americans, English
and Germans of high character and
education have largely intermarrieo.
While the native population is decreas-
ing, the half-white is increasing
"All the younger Hawaiians speak
English and understand it better than
they do Hawaiian. We have only one
service in their language, and many
Hawaiians advise the discontinuance
of that except at such periods as once
a month.
"Our work is largely among the
young. Two of our schools are COM
posed almost entirely of Hawaiians,
and I believe that we are training many
of these so that they will be not only
intelligent Christians but loyal church
men and women While we have been
working under many disadvantages
with poor and old buildings, yet we
opened in September with largely in
creased attendance
THE people of the islands have re-
sponded gladly to the effort made to
promote systematic offerings to mis-
sions.
for missionary enterprise, and as the
bishop sent there I am trying in every
way to take advantage Of opportunities.
/ believe that work can be done among
the Orientals at less cost than any
where else, and that results are
more quickly sure. The people are
usually anxious to learn
