is a complete travesty of democratic
institutions, and Of law and order as
We understand them.
Two Strange Stories.
Take the Legislature, to begin
with. Holders of official positions
are debarred from sitting in either
branch, but the law is not enforced.
A deputy sheriff on one island was
recently moved by aspirations to sit
in the Senate. He resigned his po-
sition in order to qualify as a candi-
date; but as soon as he was elected
he withdrew his resignation and con-
tinued to hold his appointment and
seat Two sessions ago a Hawaiian
member of the House Of Representa-
tives introduced a resolution calling
for the setting up of joint commit
tee to draft a law ''to suppress the
solar-plexing pugilistic encounters,
including cock fighting, which is de-
structive of family life in the terri
tory" When the hilarity evoked by
the reading of the resolution had
subsidized the Speaker solemnly in
uuired, Does the honorable gentle
man know the meaning of his resolu-
tion?" The honorable gentleman
bluntly confessed that he did not.
Then" said the Speaker, 'T decline
to put it," and he ordered that all
reference to 1t be expunged from the
minutes. A prominent journalist in
Honolulu told the writer that the
newspapers frequently, at the instance
of the Speaker and white representa-
tives, misrepresnted the meaning and
scope Of legislative proposals, in or.
der to mislead the Hawaiian mem
hers. Only by this means can they
secure the occasional passage of ben.
eficial laws.
incompetent Lawyers.
In the Judiciary the state of affairs
is almost as scandalous. Although
the circuit judges are Americans, APP
pointed from Washington, their
courts are frequently brought into
contempt by the incompetence Of the
county attorneys, who are chosen by
the Hawaiian electors, and usually
belong to the native race. These
functionaries are nominally qualified,
but they rarely draw a second indict-
ment, and about ninety per cent of
accused persons escape on technical
tiles, or have to be re-indicted, The
Governor occasionally appoints Ha-
waiian as district judge. Two years
ago one of the functionaries was re-
moved from office for having embez-
zled $4,000 from the estate of minor

HawalIans Prevail.

It may be objected that such ex-
amples of colored rule as have been
cited would not apply to India and
Egypt if the natives were enfran-
chised, nor to Canada, Australia and
New Zealand if these countries al
lowed millions of Asiatics to enter
and exercise the full rights of citizen
ship, under British laws and insti-
tutions. The white minority, it may
be alleged, would still govern by vir-
tue of inherited superiority, and
there would be no deterioration IN
our public morality and no curtail-
ment of our liberties. We should
still have sane laws, pure administra-
ton, and SO forth. Let no such illus
ion be harbored as that colored
majority would conform to European
ideals. The case of the Hawaiian
a territory of the
United States-may be quoted as pro
viding an exact parallel to what
would happen to white minority un-
der the rule Of colored democracy.
The Hawaiians, branch of the Poly
nesian race, have been civilized and
Christianized for nearly a century.
They are educated, intelligent and
peaceful. When the islands were in
in the United States IN
1898 the natives were given full
rights of citizenship. They now num-
Der about 10000, against $500 white
Americans in the territory. AS
all political power is in
the hands of the Hawaiians. The
office of Governor and the higher adj
and judicial positions
are filled by Americans; but they rule
only in appearance-in effect, they
carry on the work of the government
at the bidding of the Hawaiians. Tie
latter elect a majority to both
branches Of the Legislature; they

TOMS Confession.

AT intervals during the day those
enigmatical words of Mr.. Fanshaw's
required to the girl with the reflection
that they wanted serious thinking
over, at the first convenient oppor-
tunity. But the day wore away and
the opportunity did not appear.
The captain OF the yacht-his name
was Warner-was on shore in conf
mand of the searching party, but the

the data, though they had not told him
the story of Philip Cayleys old rela-
ton with the murdered man.
1T stands 10 reason" he said, that
the only party of white men that could
be here would be the survivors OF the
Fielding expedition. We know from
the news that young Mr.. Fanshaw
brought aboard that there Is one such
survivor here. II there were any
considerable number of them left,
able-bodied enough to walk across the
glacier, we could be sure they'd be
here on the shore waiting for us. We
could be certain they would have
made some attempt to signal us as
soon as they sighted us.
IF they weren't white men but In
ns-Chucotss-they'd have been
quite as glad as white men to get q
chance to go back with us rs far as
st. Michaels. And in the third place,
II they were not Chucotes, but some
strange. unknown, murderous band Of
aborigines. there wouldn't have been
even one survivor Of the Fielding ex-
petition.

Fanshaw and the girl were left alone
on the yacht.
Two hours later, perhaps. after they
had eaten tho supper which Jeanne
had concocted IN the galley, they sat
side by side, in their comfortable deck
chairs, gazing out across the ice-noe

"A stranger!" Tom Fanshaw echoed.

MEXICO AFTER DIAZ.

Reports that President Diaz is in
Door health are refuted, but it is new
ertheless true that this able ruler is
over 50, and that the present strain
upon him would be heavy for man
in the prime of life, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The situation in
Mexico is a warning that long sue
cession OF terms for the head of any
republic is not good thing, no mat.
ter how capable he may be as an ex-
ecutive. A time must come when
successor will take his place, and the
transition becomes a crisis. If Mexico
had accustomed itself to periodical
changes of administration a different
feeling would prevail among its peo.
pie. But for generation Mexico has
been Diaz. He has been a dictator Of
the benevolent type, and has created
conditions of prosperity not surpassed
in any country of like size. But rulers
of 80 live on borrowed time. Wash
ington was averse to many terms for
deep reasons, characteristic of his wis
dom. The ballots of a free people
ought to be esteemed greater than
any man, and a main reliance upon
them under all circumstances is es-
sential in a constitutional govern
ment.
Diaz first became president over a
quarter of century ago. His methods
OF government have been personal,
though in good sense. He has not
needed much of an army to sustain
him through his repeated terms,
though he was charged with using
the iron hand to some extent in is
recent reelection. At the beginning
of the year the Mexican army was
composed of $4,000 infantry, S,454
cavalry, 2,304 artillery, 766 engineers,
1855 rural guards of police and $50
eendarmerle, a total OF over 81 ,999.
The naval forces consist of few gun.
boats, transports and training ships.
Twenty-seven states make up the area
OF 10000 square miles, and the pop
ulation is 1861, 900. Mexico is about
three times the size of Texas, with
slightly more density of population. A
change of administration after such a
long time of government by one man
involves many difficulties, especially
If he should be disposed to name his
successor. lnsurrection is poor way
to approach the problem, but a prob
lem there is, and an unusual one for
republic supposed to be founded on
the ballot.
