Negro Labor for the Canal.

\. +. Thompson of Knoxville. Ten
ncs*cc, the gentleman who came to
Washington and urged upon President
Roosevelt the remarkable scheme of
building the Panama canal by means of
negro labor. stands bravcly by his glIns.
ard in Il communication to the WASH
inct"m Star defends himself most Wig
orouSiy from the comments and Iid-
Cui' which his scheme has evoked 1t
il hard to view Mr.. Thompsons sug-
ErStion rs anything less than prcpos-
t"r"us and il is not likely that Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt regards it otherwise
though Mr.. Thompson himself claims
that the President believes in him.
In brief his scheme is that the lazy.
shittltss negro population of the South
should be rounded up by force and
shipped to Panama and forced to dig
the canal. Certainly, Of negroes who
are able and willing to work there is
no surplus in the South, for the labor
problem or That section is already
pressing one and it is striving earnest
ly 10 encourage immigration. Ne
Grocs who are worthless as laborers in
the South would hardly make valuable
workers in the canal zone. Of course,
there is also the obstacle that there
are no laws to fit the case If any
suitable vagrancy laws should be en-
acted. they could hardly be framed to
discriminate in favor of the idle and
shiftiess white men of the South. Then
negro Migrants were to be con.
demned ana sent away what would he
come Of their families? What also Of
the future when the negroes had done
their work at Panama?
There are SO many obstacles. so
much absurdity and so great imprac-
ticabiiity to the scheme that sanity
expert should be called upon to ex,
anime Mr.. Thompson without DELAY
Tho need of such an examination i.
made more evident when we read i,

Tho Coming Elections.

In the AZ states Of the Cnion-all cX-
cept Maine, Vermont and Oregon
these are the closing days of an eX-
ceptionally lively off year political
campaign OF course the fights in New
York and Massachusetts are attracting
the most attention throughout the
country and are of far more thah local
inheritance, but nevertheless in all
the other states. except the three
mentioned, the political pot is 5riskly
boiling. In each of these A. states rep
res, natives to the Goth Congress VIII
be elected next Tuesday; in % of them
a Governor and other state officers, and
in % of them also a Legislature. In
seven states congressman only are to
be elected, and in several others only
minor states officers besides the con-
grcssmen.
The terms of 80 United States
Senators, Is Republicans and Is Demo-
Gratis, will expire next March. and in
many states this is a factor which
enters largely into the contest.
Pennsylvania leads with the greatest
number Of state tickets-12-whilc one
state, Sousc Carolina, has only one
ticket in the field, the Democratic.
There is fusion in only one state,
Nebraska, where the Democrats and
what is left of the Populist party have
agreed upon a division of the state
nominations, though in several other
states the Republican or Democratic
candidates for state officers have been
nominated or endorsed by one or more
of the minor parties.
Nationally, of course the most i'm
portant feature of election day will be
the choice of members of the Goth
Congress. OF the 3S6 members Of that
body eight have already been elected,
four in Maine, two in Oregon, and two
in Vermont, all Of them being Repub-
licanS. The present House is COM
posed of 80 Republicans and 1876
Democrats. ana while nobody expects
that the Republican majority will be as
large as this in tn" next Congress there
is general confidence that it will be a
fairly good sized one and that for the
next two years. as for the past 10.
Republican President will be backed I'D
in all matters of national legislation by
Republican Senate and a Republican
House.
The battles between Hughes and
Hearst in New York and Guild and
Moran in Massachusetts are attracting
attention such as few state contests
have ever before attracted. 1t is in
conceivable that Moran can win in
Massachusetts or Hearst in New York
Certainly a victory for either would not
only be a disgrace to the state but a
menace TO the whole country The
fight is being wagcd more ana more
earnestly and bitterly. if possible, as
election day draws near. ana on tho
morning. after election all over the
land. the first thing that the newspaper
readers will look for will be the result
OF the battle i'm those two states.

It is doubtful if there is more
healthy town in the State than Sears
port, Waldo county. 1t is said there
never has been case of typhoid fever
in the town, except it has been
brought there from some other place.
The condition of affairs is attributed
by a local physician to the absence Of
wells in the town. There is hardly Il
dozen Of these sources of water supply
in the town Practically all the drink
ing water used. up to the installation
of the new water system, has been

says. is particularly free from germs,

BAD ACCIDENT
TO DEBRIS TRAIN
THREE MEN INJURED BY REASON
CARS BEING DERAILED.

A serious accident, due it is claimed
to foul means. occurred last night on
the debris railroad in Kakaako close
to the Honolulu Iron Works. Three
employees of the Lord and Belser were
severely injured. The accident occur
ed about 6 o'clock.
The final load of debris removed from
the Alakea street slip by the dredger
Governor was being conveyed from the
slip to the debris pile Waikiki of the
Iron Works. An engine drawing a
train of cars loaded with the debris
was running past the Iron Works when
the front wheels of the engine struck
some heavy pieces of coral rock, placed
on the track by miscreants, it is claim
ed. and the engine and several cars
were derailed. Three men were severe
" injured They were Olivia, an Ha-
wall the fireman of the train, j. Ma
chado and Jacob Gargus both laborers.
OF the trio the fireman was the most
severely injured. He was caught un-
der the engine and a car. He was in
jured internally on the left side and
on his right side the skin was torn
away and his left hand was injured.
The injured man showed remarkable
composure for though pinned down
under the combined weight of a car
and engine, he directed the work of
raising the weight. After being under
the engine and car for half an hour
he was finally released and taken to
the Queens Hospital. Gargus and
MachadO were riding on the debris train
the former was caught under one of
the debris cars, sustaining fractures of
the left arm and left leg. Machado
was thrown from the train and sustain
ed a severe wound and minor bruises.
The rocks on the track were noticed
by some of the men who were riding
on the engine and they signalled to j.
Fern the engineer to stop the train.
Speed had been gotten up however, for
the purpose of running the heavy train
up an incline to the debris pile, al
though the engineer applied the brakes,
the speed could not be checked. The
engine was turned completely around
one of the forward cars getting under
the cab. The engine toppled over on
top of the car. The fireman jumped
from the engine but fell on the track
and was caught by the cars. Fern
crawled out of the cab after the en-
CINE had fallen over
