THE LABOR QUESTION.

In a climate such as that of Hawaii
one can scarcely forbear to exclaim
with Goldsmith:
i Why, Nature, waste thy wonders on
such men9 And yet should Nature
turning upon the imprudent babbler
ask him to what men he referred,
am not convinced that any one outside
of the Philadelphia bar would be able
to give her satisfactory reply; GER
talnly no one in the Territory of Ha-
wall.
For the great question which is now
feeding the minds of the island phil
osophers and which bids fair to afford
them an abundant diet for some time
to come, is precisely this question i'll
race supremacy, and although it has
come to be pretty well understood that
the predominating race upon the is
lands today is the American, and that
the predominating culture-what little
there isis Anglo-Saxon, yet it is far
from an established certainty that
such will be the case at the end of the
next two decades, when the first gem
Grafton of Japanese born into Amer
lean citizenship-offsprings of the TO-
600 japanese already in the islands
comes to maturity and brings the in
fluence of it's Asiatic civilization to
bear upon the ballot box. Men of
sound judgment, like Judge Sanford
b. Dole, President of the Provisional
Republic, and first Governor of the
Territory, and the leading minds in the
ohgarchy of sugar men, are aJmiug to
question if the hopes Of an isIanl para
disc have not been built upon foun-
dation o. sand; if, in the Ihouehtless
pursuit of dividends. the great plant
e"s have not brought in for FIELD labor
ers a people who in a few years more
viii so overwhelmingly outnumber the
combined forces Of all the other ma
tionalities which can be arrayed
against them in the islands as to sue
cessfully dominate the future OF the
Territory. And even in Hawaii the
substitution of japanese for American
civilization is not to be regarded with
equanimity.
Already the owners of the great SUI
gar Observation-Disclosures which 80 over
shadow all others as TO place them for
the time being beyond the scope of dis
cussion-have come to realize the evil
which they have brought down upon
themselves by inviting a japanese in
vasion and are now anxiouslv looking
about for desirable immigrants fron
Europe and America by whom they

though the attempt is worth making.
there are many who look upon the time
as passed when it could be made
with success, and not a few outside the
sugar ring who are inclined to regard

A dear old friend, in talking of the
evils of tthe liquor business, used to
tell how in Ohio years ago. IL great
mischief was done by . man under
the influence OF drink. or he himself
lost life. the saloon keepers who sold
him the liquor was made responsible
for damages and not long ago in
Chicago the children Of John Hedland
were granted si5, 500 damages against
several saloon keepers. Mr.. Carl h.
Ross, an attorney, decided to invoke
on behalf of the children. an old
statute framed in 1874. The act pro-
vides that any one whose means of
support is injured in consequence of
the intoxication Of any person shalt
have action for damages against the
one selling or giving the liquor.
A case similar to this was recently
tried in Kansas. A law there makes
liquor sellers liable for damages re-
sulting from the liquor they sell, but
it has never been vigorously appealed
to. A woman whose husband had
been killed in drunken brawl sued
the dealers who sold the men their
liquor and was awarded $4,000 dam
ages. The supreme court of that state
upholds the laws 70 she will get her
money, as that court was appealed to.
II this course were generally followed
those engaged in 1.-THE trade" would
be little more careful to whom they
sold. Those injured in other states IN
the same way would do we'll to look
up the statutes and where such rul-
ing has been made they should $50
and do likewise" :"
Every voter should be careful to
vote against those amendments to the
Local Option Law which the liquor
men are so industriously promoting.
Temperance people are not willing to
have them pass. Study them well
and call your neighbor's attention
to them lest the real import be not
realized until too late.
