Tho earth Is taking quite n period to In-come well settled after the dis turbances of recent jears, but there is nothing In fast quite so bad as the prophets who. find periods, of disaster favorable to their business. Wbllo Secretary of Wnr, Mr. Taft tendered his resignation rat)ipr than ease his campaign for free trade for the Philippines. It IS not likely that he will allow an) thing to sidetrack his ono deslro, after be becomes President. Japanese laborers given an oppor tunity to contribute to a high-wago fund, will lenrn to their sorrow that the whole proposition Is a quiet graft In tbi. Interest of higher wages tor those who would llvo without work ing. With European homesteaders dis tributed throughout the.flelds and in the mills of the main Industry, an end will be put to the agitator. The European will bo nttnehed to the soil, and no man with a homo will join In a movement that Jeopardizes the prosperity of all. INCENDIARY AGITATION MUST CEASE. - Tho law-abldlng Japanese resi dents of this city and throughout the Territory will not only refuse sm pathy to vicious agitators for n gen eral hold-up of the sugar plantations that Is proposed In tho so-called hlgh wnge movement. They will do more. They should become nctlve in cnlmlng the Ignor- nnt workmen whom the agitators liopo to arouse, and Impressing them with tho fuct that no possible good, only Injury nnd an evil reputation for tho Jnpancse poople, can come from the movement originated In this city. This ngltntlon has not come from w" the workmen. It Is not an uppeul to Honolulu for assistance. From the JC very outset It has been tho invention nnd e)flsh campaign of a gnng of Ho nolulu men who must make their liv ing off the credulous ones who work with their tynnds nnd labor In the fields, ,4 ;iien an agitation falling to se cure' prompt nnd favorable rtsponso, leads to .fncondlary,', language, If Is time for .reputable citizens of nil na tlonalltle's to call a halt Agitators may Binlrch tho gbod'nnme of the peo- Pie for n time but they cannot long prevail THE GOVERNOR; Tai'MMPLE-AND THI -LANDS.

Senator Foraker put tho question dliect to tho Governor as to tho nd viability of taking Hawaii's land' law constantly to Congress. Why not havo them passed upon by tho gov. eminent of Hawaii? The Governor made the very prompt answer, that In his. opinion tho Territory was notsufficiently ad vanced for this.

The Governor may be half right. but while, the laws are being amend ed, It would be very proper for the power of' the executive to be checked. In .other words, the dangers from broad executive, discretion arc ns great as those threatening from the mem bers of the Legislature passing lands over to Improper persons and wast' lug .the substance of the people. Apparentlv the Governor his seen a glimmer of new light Blnre he ap pcared before the committee. A let ter written at a later date and re ferred to In the II u 1 1 c 1 1 n of Mon day announces, that n further amend ment of the bill has been or will be offered restricting the executive's power of cxihnnglng lands. The com mission whoso consent the Governor must Becure is to no nnmeu. oy me, Legislature. This gives the peoplo at least a veto power over the acts of llie executive. , Taking the history of this Terri tory by and large, It will not show that the representatives of the, peo ple, the Leglslatutbj has made( on,y greater or more numerous errors than the executive. Tho public lands might not be wholly safe In tho hands of either, but when administered by both, and fairly well safeguarded, the record would not be such that need bring any moro blushes of shame to the cheek of the citizen than ho has ex perienced In former jears. ,One thing Is becoming evident In the career of Governor Frear. Ho has too much confidence In tho exec utive nnd not enough in, the. poople. This Is. a common error of Hnwnl.1, and one that we need to get away from If the Territory Is to develop on traditional American lines.
