Lands of the Natives.


AS to their losing their lands TO Ameri-
cans, there has been no extensive loss Of
this sort / think there is no doubt that
the average amount of land owned by the
common native HawaIians is quite as large
as It ever was, and greatly larger In value.
Many natives lease their freeholds to Chi
nese or Japanese, and live on the proceeds.
added to the fruits OF their own labor, which
brings high wages. The Hawaiian natives
Lying of any class of people in the world.
ITnskilled labor at eight hours day Is
paid for at $1.O0 to $1-50, and half the
native men are more or less skilled, and
earn twice those figures. 1t Is far more
difficult to hire Hawaiian labor than that
OF Asiatfcs. AS to the land. 1t is true that
most of the larger tracts are now in the
hands of white men. including Americans,
either held in fee simple or more common
ly under lease from the government, or
from old estates of former chiefs. Their
rentals are commonly very high, because
the value of the lands has become i'm
mensely enhanced by skilled improvements.
For example, the extensive sugar fields on
of $50 an acre. This is because white en-
terprise has bored great batteries of ar
tesian wells, and erected immense steam
pumps with miles of huge steel piping by
which many Thousands of acres are now ir-
rigated copiously, which never before were
suspected of culture. This has robbed nc
native of his former lands. but It has great
ly raised his wages. The former rentals
of those lands for pasturage did not ex-
| coed 15 cents an acre. Such is the actual
robbery of natives lands by white men.

Echoes of Royalist Abuse.

A still more serious Misrepresentation by
the excellent doctor is where he says Of
the Hawaiian people. They have lost to
the American everything OF value, thei
nationality. their lands, about everything
we care for ourselves In this strain of
talk he is merely echoing the current abuse
of royalists, which he ought to have more
discrimination than to accept as truth. The
Hawaiian people have lost nothing, which
has not been far more than amply made
up to them. Even their nationality is not
lacking to them. They remain full and
complete citizens of their native Hawaii;
and added to that is the glorious citizen
ship of America, the grandest in the world,
although the royalist, white or dark.
teaches them to despise that endowment
and count themselves denatienaiized, as
DR.. Kincaid seems also to do What sort
of an American is that man, to say that
they have lost their nationality? Look ut
the rest of the tribes of Polynesia, who
speak the same language as the Hawatians.
Look at the Marguesans. the Tahitians, the
all subjected to foreign denomination, with
out voice in their own government What
contrast to the native Hawaiian citizen,
to whom the American missionary sixty
years ago secured in permanence constitu-
tional liberty, civil rights and land owner
ship. How came the Hawaiian to rise out
of the naked sayagery and seualid serfdom
OF seventy years ago, to become q free,
well-cIothed, well-housed American citizen?
It was his American friends who. under
God did all this for him. And yet DR..
Kincaid joins In railing against American
robbery

The County Fair is in progress this
week, and everything points to the
complete success of the event. The
exhibits reflect much credit on those
who have brought them here for dis
play. This is the beginning merely,
and in time the fair will grow to be an
occasion of great aud lasting good
every fall. The directors have work
ed faithfully to make the fair success
full, and in their efforts they should
have the moral and financial support
of every citizen of the county. The
custom of holding these County Fairs
is being generally revived over the
State. The spirit is to be commend
ed. It is an evidence Of that healthy
pride in local progress and develop
merit that must exist in every com
munity to make it prosperous.

Demanded Tea Cents,

The following dispatch in the Allan

acoount OF @ recent scene in Rome,

"Pay us ten cents for our cotton or

the ultimatum issned to the local cot
ton buyers by those farmers who
Spot cotton opened at. OF. then while
great quantities came in, it wae eoon
apparent that mono was to be hed at

selves, but any price offered less than
10 cents met with instant rsfuaal. IL

liable to !nadgurate either q hght or q
flow OF language less religious than

Matters stood in status quo until
about O'clock this evening, when the
tarmers, their wagons loaded with
cotton, assembled on lower Broad
street,. formed the parade and marched
late hour. A bugler and a drummer r
were procured, and big banner bear-
ing the sign, "Pny us 10 cents for our

The streets were soon lined with
people, ID the farmers we're cheered
to the echo at every corner of the

casual observer that the sympathy of
the people was with the plucky for

upon tho part Of como buyers to guy
the parade, but it did not work ut ali.
Vine people oheered as the wagons, ali

The most remarkable circumstance
Of tho whole affair was found in the
elimination of the parade, however.

buyer Of this city stepped to the leader

Chief Constable Hammett has been
visiting those counties, or some Of
them, which have been voting out the
dispensnry law, and will report today
TO the governor upon the Gontiitiona
there as hs found them. As ia gen
orally known it hus heou tho deeirs &C
Gov. Hayward to remove the consta-
bles from tllOae counties and to trust
to the good faith of the people i'm the
countles 1or the enforcement Of the
law.
This was an easy proposition when
isolated counties voted out the dispen-
sary, but where counties in groups
hnve done away with the institution,
1t makes the problem @ difficult one.
especially where there are 80 many
counties on the border contiguous to
each other, as is the case with Lam
caster, York and Cherokee in one
stralght line, and Marlboro, Marion
groups divided only by Chesterfieid
