The result of all this would be that
Japan would be so stripped of her la
boring classes that she would have
none to send here nor anywhere else.
In the meanwhile Hawaii would have,
in the very nature of things, lost many
thousands of the laborers at present
here, who would also stampede for the
new Eldorado on the continent of Asia.
Distribute a few hundreds OF thou
sands of Japan's laborers among the
new possessions and an entirely differ
ent condition of affairs at home will
have come about. The present large
per cent of coolie or common labor is
due to overcrowding. When there is
more elbow room, the laborer there
will prosper and many of them will
cease to be laborers any longer but
will enter more lucrative pursuits.
When that time comes land it will
speedily dome in event of Japanese
victory the Japanese laborer will de.
mand American wages in the cane
fields, and the same respect and treat
ment accorded the white and native
workman. If these terms are not COM
piled with he will pack up and return
to Japan or Korea, where he would
have the chance of making more mon
ey out of the boom times that would
follow the war and be in a country
more congenial to him. What will the

Not The Old Aloha Biaa.

The Aloha Alma Club of Hilo must
not be confounded with the Aloha Alma
Society organized by the late patriot,
Hon. Joseph Nawahi, and others in
1893, although the Republicans. aided

ty. The Hilo club was organized
about the latter part of 1901 by ex-
Governor Baker and others, assuming
the name of the original society for the
purposes of drawing the people into
it, but in that it has failed, as it has
only a small membership from among
the leading Hawailans of that place.
On its roll are men in the pay of the

Lei The Coart Decide.

Our readers must well remember of
how we have twice called attention to
the fact of the action suggested by the
Senators in caucus here on the day the
Governor left for his, now known, po-
litical campaign tour of Hawaii. Upon
the suggestion of the Treasurer, who
was called into consultation by the
Governor himself. The Senators sug-
gested that the matter Of paying sal
aries out of the Six Months Bill, ac.
cording to the political Attorney Gen.
erals opinion should be submitted to
Supreme Court for decision. Since
then the Attorney General has not had
move on him, and the probably rest
ing easy on his legal opinion that the
Six Months Appropriation Bill is the
guide for the Government to fall back
on for salaries and pay roll. He may
be right, yet his opinions are only ex-
parte expressions of his own views and
is not a decision equally as good as
law that must needs be followed out in
its entirety.

The proposition of bringing the fill
ings into Kakaako and Kewalo is en-
tirely feasible. The pipe lines would
have to be little longer, entailing
some additional expense, but sum
not to be compared to the benefits to
be derived. From the dredger the
line would have to be laid only short
distance to the sea-wall beyond the
quarantine wharf, after which 1t would
come in overland, which is less trou-
blesome and less expensive. The

Notwithstanding,

Dredging operations in the harbor
channel afford the very best of oppor-
tunities for filling in the low-lands of
Kakaako and Kewalo. In place Of de-
posting this valuable material upon
the land the dredger is piping 1t to sea
where it is wasted. Portions of Ka-
kaako and most of Kewalo have been
all the way from q few inches to two
feet under water in the past few days,
seriously inconveniencing every resi-
dent of the locality. The subsistence
of the flood will bring about the dan
ger of diseases and, possibly, an cpl
demic. The material being wasted by
the dredger would be ample to raj Sc
the districts to a dry level and, then,
with properly constructed bitches
there would no longer be danger of

property in Manchuria ceded to her in
1895 by China-what would be the re-
suit? That territory would at once
become the Mecca of the Japanese for

on 1t, and every Japanese not in busi-
ness or prosperous would remove to
the new land. Coolies by the tens and
hundreds of thousands would flock
there. Some of this sort of thing was
seen when Japan acquired Formosa
but Formosa is mere bagatelle COM

II JAPAN is SUCCESSFUL.
- IssuRD -.

If the Advertiser finds so much to
feel good over in the prospect of Jap
anese victory in the war with Russia,
we do not know that we should have
any kick coming. The Advertiser crowd
has been bowling for years for more
coolie labor Nothing, they said,
should be placed in the way of it. The
sugar industry depended absolutely
upon it, and without that labor the
Islands would surely be ruined. Chin
ese could not come in on account of
the exclusion laws of the United
States. Japan was the only country to
be drawn upon. That country had
laborers to spare and was reaching out
for places to locate them where they
could obtain work at profitable wages,
Every time the wisdom of permitting
continuation of this stream of immi-
grafton was brought into question, the
answer was that 1t was the only sal
walton for the sugar industry.
Now we have the Advertiser whoop-
ing her up for Japanese success in the
Orient. In this war Japan is plainly
aiming for two very important things:
She intends to have Korea If possible;
ana Manchuria as we'll If she can get
1t without bringing on war with other
powers, 1t may not be surprising,
either, that she has her eyes on a por-
ton of Sberia-possibly all of it to
the Ural mountains! But suppose she

ney General to not follow out the sug-
gestion proposed by the Senatorial eau.
Gus? We think not. AT the time,
the Governor showed an inclination Of
acquiescence to such proposition, and
the acceptance of the suggestion offer
ed by the Treasurer by that superior
body of peers has, in our view of tho
matter made 1t compulsory upon the
Government as a whole to bring the
matter, as soon as convenient, to the
attention of the highest Territorial tri-
bunal, so as to bring the same to an
early and speedy determination. But
as no effort has so far been shown and
no move undertaken by the Territorial
law department, we think that there
must be something very peculiar in
this delay, probably because he is GER
tain that his pay roll is part of the
Eighteen Months Bill and, therefore,
he rests secure in the warmth of his
official seat. How would he like it If
his pay was held up? We think he
wouldn't like it one bit.
Believing as we do that the Legisla.
ture did not fail in its duty to provide
adequate appropriations, we think that
it should again be called into extra ses'
sion to provide the ways and means
for carrying on the Government, and
in the interim, first submit the matter
to the Supreme Court and, whichever
way it may decide, follow out such a
course. And failing which, suppose
that the Treasurer should deem him
self called upon to hold up certain sal
aries and pay rolls unprovided for in
the Eighteen Months Bill, say, for in
stance, the Police Department, under
the immediate control of the dilatory
Attorney-General, what an uproar
would there be. The Treasurer would
be justified in doing so, the Attorney
General or the Auditor to the contrary
