The question of immigration to
Hawaii will be settled by Congress
and not by any Observation-Disclosures
tiser.
This Is partial truth. The De-
partment can help materially, as 1t is
now doing. Congress, of course, is
the final authority, and it is to be re-
GREETED that there should exist In
these Islands enemies of the Common
Good who are so disappearing the
European-immigration proposals for
Hawaii as to furnish material that
will be used to injure the cause of the
Territory in Congress and supply am
munition for our enemies.

for their campaign of abuse and mis-
representation. The fact that Secre-
tary Garfield said so may make 1t
more impressive to some people, but
even his opinion does not change the
indelible fact that Hawaii's Ameri-
can future is largely wrapped up in
the European immigrant, and as he
comes in increasing numbers the de-
velopment of the Territory on Amer
lean lines will be the more rapid.

EUROPEAN L. y RANTS WILL:
lANERNAN.2E HAWAII.

We believe that the process Of
Americanizing Hawaii will be ma
terially aided by the European immi-
grants. We know It.
The European immigrant has been
the basis of the great progress of the
mainland-that's America-and we
see no reason why he should so sud-
denly have lost his value when the
proposal is made to bring him to Ha-
wall.
He has been n farmer from Maine |
to California. We don't see why he
should become cockroach and YER
micelli bug when he steps foot in the
Territory of Hawaii.
The fact of the matter is that the |
European OF the Latin race has al
ready proved himself in the Territory
OF Hawaii. You don't find many bet
ter Americans or brighter young men
and women than the young Portu-
guese of this Territory. The old ones
were of good stock and needed only
opportunity to become home-builders.
The Portuguese-American Of the
Islands are a splendid living refuta-
tion of the charge made by the enemy
of European immigration that body
polite of such men as made and sus-
tanned the American Republic Can
not be had from Italy or Spain or
Portugal; 1t must be drawn from an
English-speaking American base"
The high character OF the Portu-
gnese who have come to these Islands
and the Portuguese who have popu-
lated large sections Of the mainland
Is so we'll known and SO widely rec
ognized that the sneer of the morn
Ing paper Is gratuitous insult.
But what of the Americanizing
process?
These European immigrants which
Hawaii Is going after and will GER
tainly get do not In any way inter-
fere with the prospective farmer Of
the blue-blood class. Why, then,
should the European immigrant be
condemned and insulted?
History has proved it to be fact
that II there are ten thousand or one
hundred thousand European immi-
grants employed on the sugar plan
tations OF the Territory, the Amerl-
can merchant, the American manu-
facturer. the American professional
man, and the American middleman,
and the American mechanic will find
more profitable and a more hopeful
outlook In the Territory of Hawaii
than he does today. 1t is not true
that an American middle-class popu-
lation can be built up speedily under
such a farming" proposition as ex-
lists, for instance, at Wahiawa, that
ideal of those sneering at the Euro
pean.
II 1t were true that population
character is not determined by the
hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter. the Promotion Committee would
be urging the merchant. the butcher,
the baker. and the candlestick maker
of the mainland to come to the ISL
ands and set up stores in Fort street
to help Americanize the Islands. De.
velopment does not move from the
top to the bottom.
permanent American improvement
must begin with the main industry
Of every section. II you are hoping to
build up the citizenship you must of

Why not open the town wide to the

Why should not the treatment Of

at every other American port?

Republican Indicts His Party.

When you come to analyze 1t and
think about it, Gov. Blacks indict.
ment of his party is as severe as 1t is
true. Gov. Black nominated Roose-
welt for vice-president at Philadelphia
II 1900. He has been one of the ma
tional leaders of the Republican party
for many years. Therefore, when he
expresses an opinion of his own party
that opinion may justly be regarded as
a just and fair statement. Now, Gov.
Black recently said: I'VE have seen
-. the independence Of the courts.
the fixed and salutary boundaries Of
coordinate functions, the guarantee
of fair play, the scrupulous regard for
the limitations Of official power, all
staggering under blows inflicted in the
party name" And since all the blows
under which these things are stagger-
ing have been rendered effective only
because the Republican party has by q
vast majority made them effective by
its unqualified approval, surely the
party is as rotten and reckless as its
leader.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning Of the word Neu.
raIgia is ~nerve-pain, and any n who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of it's antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which afflict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes Of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency Of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of 1t is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
Of nourishing food, Of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both tho
muscular and nervous systems.

PROPOSED COMMISSION a SHAM.
"Non-Partisan" Body to Revise Tarhs
Is Out of the Question.

The specific tariff measure which
the National Association OF Manufac-
turers favor is the observation-disclosures
sol bill, which provides for a non
partisan tariff commission to gather
information, mako suggestions, and
guide congress in revising the D1ngley
schedule. This wonderful commission
is to be appointed by the president, q
Republican, with a view to carrying
out his own Republican policies. Inc
people who are urging it say that they
are Republicans and protectionists,
but assume that the poor, feeced,
abused, insulted, racked and ruined
multitude will regard them as non-par.
tisan and entirely disinterested, in
spite of their confessions to the con-
trary. We assume that their PROPOSE
ton is both unconstitutional and In
expedient. 1t Is unconstitutional be-
cause "all bills for raising revenue
| shall originate in the house OF repre-
| s~entatives," while the bill in question
originated in the senate, and because
it would have the effect of putting the
initiation of tariff bills in the hands OF
a commission appointed by the presi-
| dent with the advice and consent OK
the senate" and thereby deprive the
house of it's prerogative in this vital
matter.
This scheme is an attempt to take
away from the representatives or the
people the power Of taxation u
to them by the constitution OF the
United States.
1t is not only an unconstitutional
measure, but q deceptive. hypocriticai
measure. Its authors and hackers
know That any commission appointed
by a Republican president and con.
| frmed by a Republican senate would
be a Republican and partisan commits
sion. They know that the question OF
high tariff and low tarih-the ques'
ton of protection and monopoly-is a
party question. They know that the
Democratic doctrine Is to take away
monopolies, to remove the legal obsta'

existing, and to get down as soon as
possible to a system in which every

EooIinu the People.

The Republican leaders have the
tariff revision issue all fixed up to
their satisfaction, with the evident In.
tention of fooling the people again.
No such dangerous method as a tariff
commission is to be attempted, but
the whole matter is to be within the
keeping of the stand-patters Of the
committee on ways and means OF the
house Of representatives and the
finance committee of the senate. Ac.
cording to the New York Tribune,
which is undoubtedly in the conf.
dence of the Republican leaders, the
tariff program is to be carried out by
congress giving those committees au'
thority to hold sessions in the recess
and conduct such examination into the
tariff schedules as may be deemed
wise in view Of the approaching revi.
sion." This is the way the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Tribune IN.
derstands the pins have been set up.
President Roosevelt is to contribute
his share" of this Republican conspir.
acy for revising the tariff higher by
detailing a committee Of appraisers,
collectors and "other treasury ex.
perts" to supply statistics and "sug.
gestions."
That will be what the Republicans
call revising the tariff by the friends
of protection, and We have the assur.
ance of Secretary Root and the other
Republican leaders that the intention
is to add to the present schedules
maximum rates to be imposed on the
products of those countries with
whom no reciprocity treaties exist.
What is the use Of promises of tariff
reduction if the revision is to be In
the hands of those who would revise
the tariff higher?

Why Uncle Joe Cannon Clings to His Job

That's what happened. Uncle Joe's
ambition for congressional honors re.
vived and he returned to the house.
After he had served a few terms and
was just about ready to throw the
pesky job over, some one out his way
announced that as a congressman
Uncle Joe" had been a failure and
that some one else ought to be nomi-
mated. That quickened his pulses
once more and again he sought the
nomination and election which but for
interference he might have spurned.
Thus it went, until his influence in the
house began to wax until important
chairmanships came his way, until the
speakership was in sight.
"And now" concluded the speaker,
my highest ambition is to be a mem.
Der of the house as long as ] live, to
die during a session of congress-, and
to be buried at the public expense with
all you fellows at the funeral discus
sing, with bated breath, the question
of my successor"
Not a word, not a single word, dur
ing the entire dinner, about that other
high ambition which is ascribed tc
him as a favorite son of Illinois.
