Letters of G.
Evening Post, Congressional Party.

HONOLULU, May Is.-Hawaii has
had labor question" ever since the
cultivation of sugar cane began in the
islands. 1t was never more pressing
than it is today. The native Hawai-
ian supply of Iaborers was insufficient
from the very beginning. They have
a saying here that white men and ma
tives can work in the cane fields, but
will not. AS early as 1852, it was
found necessary to begin the importa-
ton of laborers. $50 Chinese being
brought TO the islands, at an expense
of $50 each. They We're paid SO a
month ir cash and furnished food,
lodging. and clothes, which cost APP
proximately 81 more. At the present
time cane field laborers are paid from
$19 to $22 a month. and are furnished
living quarters. fuel, and medical at
tendance without charge.
Lorrin A. Thurston, lifelong res
ident of Hawaii, whose grandfather
was one of the earliest, if not the
first missionary to come to the islands,
is one of the best-posted men in the
Territory on it's Nhistory and economic
conditions He has given me the fol-

lowing resume of the labor situation
of Hawaii:
LORRIN A. THURSTON'S VIEWS.
The higher class laborers are desira-
Bile; demonstrating them is desirable:
they are expensive to procure: they
have progressive ideas, and it is diff
cult to keep them at the work for
which they are introduced; Asiatfc la
borers are not as good as they might
be. but they are cheap, and, more
over, they are available and-greatest
of all-"can be relied upon for a GER
tain time"
Laborers have come to Hawaii from
Manchuria, Korea, China, Japan, the
New Hebrides, Solomon, and Gilbert
Islands; from Norway, Germany, Aus
tria, Italy, Portugal, Madeira, the
Azores. and Porto Rico, while both
whites and negroes have been obtained
from the United States. The latest
addition to this heterogeneous mass is
the sect of Russians, known as Mo-
lokans. The exact number of these
immigrants is difficult to obtain, the
data being scattered. After consider
able research. however, I think the
following compilation of the number
and nationality of labor immigrants
to Hawaii from 1852 to 1905, both in
elusive, is approximately correct:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-12-23

The cost of this immigration has
been enormous. In 1SS4-1SS6, when
labor recruiting was being carried on
from more sources than at any other
time. the cost per capita of importing
immigrants, including men, women,
and all children over two years of
age was as follows:

Another Chapter in Calvin Case.

Another interesting chapter in the
story of the disappearance of John E.
Calvin and the search for him by hi
nesday by Frank Burton, driver at
Holden & Martin S lumber mill. Bur
ton has just returned from vaca
tion in Portland, Me. He went from
Portland to Boston the 9th on the
steamer Gov. Dingley, and he be-
heves that John Z. Calvin was a pas
senger on that boat. While riding on
deck a young man asked Burton for
match. The need was supplied, and
in the conversation which followed
Burton said that he was from Brat.
tleboro, Vt. The young man then
said that he formerly lived in Brat
tleboro. "Do you know John Gal
vin2" asked the stranger, to which
Burton replied in the Affirmative.
Then the young man turned the con-
versation in another channel and said
that he had recently been employed
as waiter on board a steamer be-
tween New York and Portland, but
had given up the position.
When Burton reached home he read
an account of Mr.. Calvin s recent
trip to New York in search of his son.
Remembering the question which his
chance acquaintance had asked him on
board the steamer, he read carefully
the description of John E. Calvin and
found that it tailed with that of his
steamer friend. Wednesday he went
to Mr. Calvin and told him the story.
Mr.. Calvin produced a photograph of
his son, and Burton was satisfied that
the young man who asked him for
match was none other than John e.
Calvin Mr.. Calvin has received nu-
letters since the story of his
search for his son was published
broadcast. Some of the writers offer
to locate the son for specified sum of
and ask that a part of it be
at once. Mr. Calvin ignores
those letters entirely. He has OBJ
tained two clews, however, which he
considers important, and he will fol-
low them up as soon as he can.

NOT MUCH EXCITEMENT.
County Court Is Pursuing the Even
Tenor OF Its Way.

County court has been progressing
without much 10 cause excitement dur.
ing the past week. Last Friday noon
the court ordered verdict for the de-
fondant in the ease of Archibald Mel
len against the United States Health
and Accident Insurance company. The
plaintiff filed exceptions and the mat
ter will 20 to the supreme court on
questions Of law. The grand jury
finished its work last week and re-
ported three true bills, one OF which
was against Fairbanks, the murderer.
The other two indictments have not
been made public as the warrants
have not vet been served, but II is
understood they have TO do with the
alleged Illegal liquor selling which
was brought TO light at the time of
taking depositions in the Grace-Albin
libel ease.
The ease Of J. +. Hitchcock Of Or
ange. Mass, against +. l., Burbee of
Springfield, Mass, was the second
ease to receive the attention of the
Jury. Both parties formerly lived in
Windham and the logs constituting
the subject matter of the controversy
were cut from the plaintiffs land in
Windham. This was an action to re.
cover s22s claimed TO be due on a log
sale The specification of the plaintiff s
claim constituted two items. The de-
fendant claimed that the specification
all logs received by him
and that checks produced by him
should be applied in payment of them
and would make payment in full.
The plaintiff claimed that other logs
had been sold and delivered to the de-
fendant on which a portion of the
checks should be applied. The ver-
diet was in favor of the plaintiff.
A Jury was empanelled Tuesday af-
ternoon for trial of the ease of Frank
p. Burbank of Chester against Byron
NJ. wilkins of Londonderry, an action
brought to recover on a warranty on
the sale of a horse. The warranty
was admitted by the defendant but he
claimed that the horse was and is
sound, whereas the plaintiff IS evidence
tended to show that the horse had a
bone SPAWN, was tender in the front
EGGS and had swollen glands. A large
number of witnesses from Brattle-
,oro and some from Londonderry were
n attendance. This case was given
o the Jury this morning and after be-
ng out an hour a verdict for the
plaintiff to recover 1892 was brought
n. A jury is now being empanelled
n the case of c. H. Shepardson VS..
Don Derby, both of Williamsville.

Death of Mrs. Charles w. Hudson.

Mrs. Mary Augusta Hudson, wife of
Charles Z. Hudson, who died Sept. IL
at her home in Wilmington, Mass, will
be well remembered in this section of
Vermont, where she was born and
passed the early years of her life.
Mrs. Hudson S death was the culmin-
alton of a long and painful illness,
during which she developed unusual
qualities both of fortitude in sustain
ing her acute sufferings and of cour-
age at the end that she was ever hope
full and in these qualities she was
buoyed up by a sterling Christian
character. She was the daughter of
the late Col Samuel B. Wells of
Athens. and later of Brattleboro, and
was born in Athens 5S years ago, liv-
ing there until her marriage to Mr..
Hudson. Her education was of that
substantial character which enabled
her when she entered upon the voca-
ton of teacher to attain very high
standing at an early period in her
experience in the profession. In the
field of music her attainments, vocal
ly and instrumentally We're marked
and she was in all respects woman
of fine culture and refinement. Early
in her married life she went to live
at Wilmington, where Mr.. Hudson en-
geged in business, and is now a prom
inent and successful merchant.
In the many years of her residence
in that town, writes one who knew
her well, Mrs. Hudson came to be iden-
titled with every good work, being ac-
tive in all social and religious affairs
until compelled by failing health to
retire almost completely to the pri-
vacy of her home. The loss of no
member of her circle will be no more
deeply felt nor more sincerely regret
ted than of her, whose memory will
ever be cherished by wide COM
munity of friends and acquaintances
and who should, it seems to them,
have been spared for many years to
enjoy the beautiful new home into
which she and her husband had so re-
Gently gone to live.
The funeral services last Friday,
which were very largely attended,
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Bloom
field, pastor of the Wilmington Con-
gregatonal church, and the burial was
on Saturday in the Wells family lot
at Brattleboro.
