Fulfilled Prophecy.

Prophetic words were those appear
ing IN a leaflet that WAS circulated in
the campaign OF 1889 warning the
voters ON a provision in the State Con.
stitution, whereby the Legislature was
empowered to raise the salaries OF GER
tain State officers, and reprinted after
the Constitution was adopted, when
there seemed to be disposition to
take advantage Of the privilege aud
increase liberal salaries so as to make
certain incumbents able to live in
luxury for life. The circular probably
lost some OF its force from the Populis-
tic headline on its Introductory page,
which were as follows:
I'VE were Ferried into Statehood +;
McGrawed to disgrace and will be Rog-
cred to Il finish
II seems that the prophecy is
is being fulfilled to letter, and the
first attempt is to enrich the judiciary.
The Republican party, by a coup de
main in their State convention, adopt.
ed a plank for increase OF Judges sal.
aries, both Superior and Supreme, and
the Governor apparently willingly
adopts it rs recommendation, and
the Law Librarian, c. Will Shafer,
also pig at the official trough, falls
readily in line to increase the $1,000
Of Superior judges, equivalent to ten
dollars for every working day and ST.
600 for Supreme Judges or nearly $l4
per day, without counting deducting
the annual vacations and short hours
OF daily labor, to probably double that
compensation.
IL seems as if the plan for widening
the breach, between the professional
and laboring classes, who delve at a
pay Of from 50 to $5 per day is we'll on,
and it is the very issue that arose when
our government was founded, between
the forms and class distinctions Of q
limited monarchy, and the republic,
under which the people are rulers and
may claim equality in all political and
civil rights and privileges.

SMUGGLING OF JAPs AND CHINAMEN

that thousands of Japs are struggled
into this country annually through
the open gates Of our Hawaiian pos.
sessions. They 60 to the islands as
laborers in hotels kept by labor agents,
and claim that they are merely seeking
work in the islands. 1t then becomes
an easy matter to ship for Pacific
ports, and as they have been admitted
at Hawaii, their voyage thence il

Direct immigration with San Fran

country in great numbers. This il

THE Willy FoE.-The latest sensa.
ton regarding Japan's intentions 10
afforded by the discovery that the
little pest has stored away enough rice
in Hawaii to feed their entire popula.
ton of the islands for eight months.
There are fully 5000 more Japs there
than there were . year ago, and the
larger number who have returned
to their homes have been women
and children. These conditions have
caused the situation to be regarded
with considerable gravity. It has
been demonstrated by tho war with
Russia that the Jap il very secretive
in his nature, and never discloses in.
formation Of future plans when it may
forwarn his adversary, or OF results
that may encourage . foe. He is ely
and cunning. and our people are slow
and stolid in forming opinions. The
strategic importance OF these move.
ments, together with the influx oil
experienced warriors, in the guize oil
coolies, is quite apparent. Besides
this, the establishment of bank and
many business enterprises in the
Philippines. seems to point to the
same inclination Of national characte,
ct that time.
