THE QUESTION OF CHEAP COO
LIE LABOR UPON US.
Nothing can Restrain the Influx of Asiatic |
Lahor of the Government of the Trusts if;
Sustained in Its Imperialistic Design of Co
lonial Dependencies—A Present. Active and
Persistent Menace to White Labor and White
Merchants- The Danger is Here NOW and
Calls for the Restraint of Your Ballot.
United States Judge Estee of the
District of Hawaii, an appointee of
President McKinlev, rendered a decis
ion on the 20th of September, llf(H).
establishing beyond a shadow of doubt
the right of every resident of the is
land possessions of the United States
to go freely and unrestricted to any
part of the United States.
Under this ruling, the (>OO,OOO Chi
nese and 11,(H)0,000 Malays of the
Philippine islands will have, in the
event of annexation, an undeniable,
inalienable right to swarm here with
out limit, beyond the powor of Con
gress or the President to stop them.
Closely following Judge Estee, the
Supreme Court of Hawaii, composed
of United States Judges appointed by
President McKinley, rendered a decis
ion, Oct. 1, 1000, on substantially the
lines. The case involved in the de
cision of the Supreme Court was the
political rights of Geo. L. Edwards, a
resident of Hilo, Hawaii.
The gist of the Decision is this:
"THE GOVERNMENT OF THE
UNITED STATES IS ONE OF DELE
GATED POWERS. THE AMERICAN
NATION OR, IN THE LANGUAGE OF
THE CONSTITUTION, "THE PEO
PLE OF THE UNITED STATES," is
ABSOLUTELY SOVEREIGN. THIS
SOVEREIGN HAS PRESCRIBED
CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL RULES,
CONTAINED IN THE CONSTITU
TION OF THE UNITED STATES,
WHICH ITS SERVANTS, THE PRES
IDENT AND EACH MEMBER OF
CONGRESS, MUST TAKE A SOLEMN
OATH TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND
AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO
TAKING OFFICE. THESE SER
VANTS ARE NOWHERE AUTHOR
IZED TO EXERCISE ABSOLUTE
SOVEREIGNTY, BUT THEIR
POWERS ARE LIMITED BY THE
TERMS OF THE CONSTITUTION
UNDER WHICH THEY HOLD
THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICES
AND DISCHARGE THEIR OFFI
CIAL DUTIES.
"WE CANNOT ASSENT TO THE
CuCTRINE THAT THE OPERATION
OF THE CONSTITUTION IN THE
TERRITORIES BELONGING TO THE
UNITED STATES DEPENDS UPON
THE WILL OR ACTION OF CON
GRESS EXTENDING IT THERE.
"IT FOLLOWS THAT ALL TIIF.
PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITU
TION IN RESPECT TO PERSONAL
AND POLITICAL RIGHTS BECOME
AT ONCE, WHEN THE SESSION
WAS COMPLETED, A PART OF THE
SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND."
WHAT THE DECISION MEANS,
If the laboring people and the mer
chants of the Pacific Coast suffer irre
parable loss from the competition of
cheap Japanese labor, under rigid ex
clusion acts, their suffering and loss
would be increased ten thousand
times under the unrestricted competi
tion of these swarms of Philippine
coolies.
No exclusion act nor any power of
Congress could come to the rescue.
Every large corporation on the Pa
cific Coast coast could bring them
here by the tens of thousands —for
they are eager to come—and set them
to work on railways, in shingle mills,
in saw mills, in lumber camps, in the
fisheries and in coal mines.
A faint idea of the way white labor
and merchants depending upon the
trade of while laborers would be driven
to bankruptcy and starvation may be
gathered from the recent substitution
of thousands of Japanese for white
laborers in every branch of industry
controlled by big corporations in this
State.
SAMTI.ES OK ASIATIC LAfiOR.
From the report made to the State
Labor Commissioner, the Great North
ern Railway Company employed 1,058
section men at sl, 33.1-3 per day in
the year 1897—making a total yearly
payment of s44o,l2B.lo—every dollar
of which was spent in this country,
and nearly all of it in the communi
ties in which the men dwelt.
These men have all been replaced
by Japanese laborers at sl.lO per day,
and there are now 2,500 Japanese at
work on sections and the re-construc
tion of the Great Northern in the
State of Washington.
In 1897 the O. R. & N. Co. employed
320 white men on sections at $1.25.
These have been replaced by Japa
nese and the number increased on ac
count of extra construction work.
In 1898-9 the S. & I. R. R. Co. em
ployed 100 while men at $1.40 per day.
They have been replaced by Japanese
at sl.lO per day and the number in-
I creased on account of new work.
Four years ago no Japanese were
employed at the Port Blakely mills.
To-day more than two hundred Japa-
"How
nose have taken the place of white
labor there—and other mills are fol
lowing the examples set by Port
lllakelv.
Japs are being employed in round-
houses as wipers, and at terminals as
cleaners of Passenger, Pullman and
Dining ears, and a number are used as
mechanical helpers in the machine
shops.
Japs have practically driven the
small white restaurant people out of
the lower part of Seattle, and are be
ing employed in almost every public
place in the city.
Judge Estee's recent decision, sup
plemented by that of the Hawaiian
Supreme Court, makes it certain that
the retention of the Philippine Islands
opens the United States to the mil
lions of Filipinos, as well as the hordes
of other Asiatics, who would gladly
come to this Coast at the small stipend
of twenty-live cents a day !

Acts Mort in Proof Than Words
The Republican papers are now try
ing hard to show that Admiral Uewev
made no alliance with Agnualdo to
fight the Spaniards to a finish, at the
close of the late war. Wildman, the
U. S. Consul at Hongkong, is rung in
as a witness, although his opportunity
for acquiring a superior knowledge of
facts was probably no better than that
of those separated by many thousand
miles of watery expanse, nor as good
as the testimony of Admiral Dewey
himself, who is as notably alliietcd
with a vacuity of knowledge of the
meaning of words, as he is superior in
ability for determining just the pro
jectile, quantity of powder and eleva
tion of muzzle, to obtain the best re
sults in marine bombardment!
Uewey strenuously denies that '
Aguinaldo and his forec were accepted 1
as his allies at a conference and subse
quent union of forces, effected at j
Cavite, although he admits that he
furnished transportation, guns and
ammunition to the insurgents, and
that they united with him in a com
mon cause against the enemy—which
was then then the Spaniard. If this
was not alliance, what was it? And
does anybody suppose for an instant
that the insurgent leader was fool
enough to make such an agreement!
aud give such aid, without an under
standing, expressed or implied, of
amity, friendship and justice on the
part of this government?
Admiral Dewey's renunciation of the
logical significance of his acts is not a
whit more inconsistent or childish
than his announcement of candidacy
for President. He gave out that while
he was a Democrat, he was willing to
accept a nomination from either party,
which was just about as reasonable as
denial of allianco with Aguinaldo while
performing all the acts towards, and
accepting the service of, the rebel
chieftain as an ally of our government.
It was about on a par with many other
acts of the Admiral, notably the haste
he made in disposal of the.'gift of the
people, made to himself alone, and in
tended as a lasting souvenir of ap
preciation of his services as a naval
commander, and not of Mr. Dewey, as
an American citizen.
It would have been well for the fame
of the Admiral had lie been called
hence before the laurels on his brow
had begun to wither from the fircy
blasts of criticism of his acts us an in
dividual. And the little remaining
respect held for him is fast being dis
sipated, from the evident fact that he
is now willing to be used as a cat's
paw by tho party which a while ago
regarded his claims for the Presidency
with the most palpable evidences of
abhorrancc aud contempt.
llovv I)o You LIKE THAT?— The will
of the late J. B. Clayton, son of a
member of Parliament, lately pro
bated, leaves to his two daughters
$720,000 each, on condition that they

United States or a Hebrew. No reason
is given. He must have been im
pressed, however, with some secret
knowledge that his daughters were

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 9, 1900.
WHAT NEXT?
To Make human Beings by Artificial
Means.
Dr. Jacques Loeb, of the University
of Chicago, who has been making zoo
logical and biological studies at
Woods 11011, Mass., for ten months,
has achieved so much success that his
scientific iriends believe that the re
production of liuman beings by arti
ficial means is possible. The scientific
word for the process is parthenogenais.
This opinion was brought to the
University by Dr. Frank It. Lilhe, who
arrived from Woods 1101 l to take up
the work of his new position as as
sociate professor of zoology. Dr.
Lillie is well known among the
scientists of America, having been
head of tho Department of Biology at
Michigan University for five years and
one year at Vassar before his recent
appointment to Chicago.
Before this lie confined his work to
sea urchins; this year it was extended
to starfish and worms, an entirely
different group. He developed nor
mal starfish and worms from unfertil-
ized eggs.
Mr. Lillie says, however, that it will
take a long time to find the conditions
required for the various animals. " It
may be," be asserts, " that this prob
lem will prove insurmountable, but
there is no doubt that the investi
gators in morphological anatomy will
continue their experiments with such
discoveries in view."
It will not be necessary to produce
human beings artificially to prove to
the satisfaction of scientists that such
a thing is possible. No large series of
experiments on human subjects will
be required. The experiments can be
made on other mammals—that is, 011
animals which suckle their young,
such as dogs and cats. These claims
are made by scientists.
The most noted verification of Dr.
Loeb's work was that made by l'rof.
Wilson, of Columbia University, New
York. This summer be performed
experiments in the United States
Fish Commission station laboratory
at Beaufort, N. C, and obtained
better results than Dr. Loob himself.
Later in the summer Professor Wilson
went to Woods Holl, and before the
scientists there lectured on his work.
One advance which Prof. Wilson has
made has come from the study of the
internal condition of the unfertilized
eggs developed by artificial means.
"The Chinese are the politest j>eo
l>le in the world," said a man who has
seen much of the Diplomatic Corps in
Washington, " but I have seen one in
stance where Americans were not be
hind therti in good manners. It was
at a big dinner party. Among the
guests were the President and his wife,
the Chinese Minister from China.
The dinner was an excellent one, and
the new attache, who was a very culti
vated man, won golden opinions all
around. As soon as the last course
was removed, however, ho gave us a
surprise. Leaning back in his chair
lie crossed his hands on his stomach
and delivered himself of a deep, reso
nant, heartfelt grunt. There was just
a second of silence, broken by a simi
lar cllbrt from the hostess, a creditable
grunt, too, but not so vigorous as that
of the Celestial. When the Presi
dent's wife grunted, followed by the
President, the Chinese Minister, and
all the guests, you would have thought
you were in a pigsty.
" Later the Chinese Minister ex
plained that it is the custom in China
for a guest to grunt after dinner, to
show his appreciation for the good
cheer he has enjoyed. But it was the
American hostess that saved the situ
ation."
A scientific man in ltome lias just
been conducting a very practical ex
periment.
All this time, since the long skirt
came into fashion, doctors have been
talking microbes, and warning women
of the evil of their ways. But has
any one thought to put a gown under
the microscope and givo visible proof
of the truth of what he has been say
ing? Not a soul except this learned
scientist in Rome.
He employed three young women to
take their loug skirts out on a mi
crobe-collecting expedition. When
they returned, after doing their duty
thoroughly and well, he took the
three garments to his laboratory and
gave them a searching investigation.
He found all the microbes of the
streets.
The result was horrible to relate.
Allied in loiVce, the microbes of those
three skirts were found to be sufficient
to contaminate the whole population
of China, and it is more than 450,000,-
000.
Yet the number of these microbes
was probably no greater than each one
of us brings into the house every time

PAY RECEIVED BY SERVANTS.
Scale ot Wages Which Rules in China, England,
Switzerland and Elsewhere.
Philadelphia North American.
On all sides complaints loud and
deep are heard as to the scarcity of
servants, and various remedies, more
or less practical, have been suggested
for the alleviation of the housewife's
trouble.
The importation of Chinese servants
has Iren suggested, but this seems an
improbable solution of the difficulty.
Of course, the trouble really arises
from the extraordinary spread of edu
cation during the last few years and
the preference of young women to
enter a more independent sphere of
action in shops and houses of business
than to confine themselves to the cut
and dried rules of domestic service.
In England it may taken that the
average wages of a general servant arc
about $75 a year, sometimes more,
sometimes less, but this seems a fair
price to pay. In France a "bonne-a
tout faire " expects S6O a year, and a
German "maga" a like sent. In
Russia, Sweden, Denmark and Norway
the average may be put down at SSO
a year, and a like amount isa fair rsti
mato for Italy. In Switzerland, owing,
perhaps, to the enormous Hunting
hotel population, the price rises to SSO,
but then Switzerland is naught ilse
but one gigantic hotel for the con
venience of travelers.
In the United States a good general
servant expects $l5O a year, and in
Canada about $125. 111 both instances
these sums may be olTered freely with
out obtaining any response, because
the same circumstances exist in these
countries as everywhere else—that is
to say, the desire for greater inde
pendence and a growing dislike to
domestic service.
The highest wages arc paid in Caj»e
Colony, where a white woman, unless
well paid, considers it beneath her
dignity to accept any inferior post. In
Natal the average wage is only slightly
lower, !f2f>o a year being a fair figure.
Here, again, the Zulus in domestic
service outnumber the white servants
by 50 to 1.
IS HANNA A BRITISHER?
Former Brother Workman of the Republican
Boss Says He was Born in England.
Several months ago, when Mark
llanna returned from a trip abroad,
ho made a remarkable declaration that
in many respects the monarchical
form of government in the British
Empiro was vastly preferable to our
own. This statement provoked much
comment at the time, but if the state
ment made in Chicago last Tuesday
by C. W. Slattcry of Dycrsberg, Tonn.,
is true, tbero is no further room for
criticism.
For, according to the statement of
the Tennessee man, Mr. Hanna is a
native of England and is naturally an
advocate of everything British. Mr.
Slattery said:
" I am a railroad contractor, and at
present have a contract for building a
line of road in Tennessee for the Illi
nois Central Railway. In my employ
at Dversberg is an elderly Englishman
named Charles Green, who says ho
was born in a small town in the min
ing regions of England ; that Marcus
A. Ilanna was born in the same vil
lage, his father being a mine master;
that the elder Hanna came to Ameri
ca and settled in Pennsylvania when
Mark was about seven years old; that
the elder Hanna engaged in mining
and afterward removed to Ohio, where
Mark learned the trade of an iron
molder ; that Green came also to the
United States and obtained employ
ment under his former English play
mate, who is the present Mark Hanna.
Mr. Green also says that Mark Han
na's father was an intense believer in
British institutions and persistently
refused to become a naturalized citizen
of the United States, and that while
a young man, Marcus A. Hanna fully
shared his father's prejudices against a
republican form of government."
Mr. Slattery says Green is an intel
'igent man and that he announces
his willingness to subscribe and make
oath to the foregoing statement.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Hanna claims to be a native of this
country. Perhaps the above disclos
ure may throw some light upon his
political methods.
THE population of the United .States,
in decades more than a century past,
has been as follows: In 1790, .5,929,-

CENSUS FACTS ABOUT CITIES.
$. Y. World.
The revelations of the census touch

It appears that there are now 151)
| cities in the United States with over
25,000 inhabitants each. Dividing
these 151) cities into four classes, 1!)
are found to have a population of 200,-

1 over but less than 50,000.
, New York, with its 3,437,202 inhab
; ilants, stands of course at the head of
the list of nineteen cities of the first
class, and really is so far ahead of all
the others that it is in a class by it
self. Chicago conies second, with
about 1,700,000 inhabitants. Phila

census of 1800, now has third place,
with 1,300,000 Inhabitants. St. Louis,
Boston and Baltimore follow in the
order named, nml each has a popula

Washington, carry off the palm for
rapidity of growth in the the last
twenty years. In 1880 their com
bined population was less than 5,000;
to-day it is 155,000, and 57,000 of
these have been gained since 1890.
Kansas City, from being No. 153 on
the list of cities in point of popula
tion ten years ago, is now No. 76;
> Portland, Oro., which was No. 106 in
' IS9O, is now No. 42, while Los Angeles,
which was No. 135 in 1890, is now No.
36.
How to Wash Dishes.
Dish washing is more frequently
neglected in its details than any other
branch of household menage. To get
the dishes washed and put away is the
only aim of the average maid, and un
less the housekeeper oversees the work
and insists upon its being done prop
erly, streaky plates and rough cups
with yellowed streaks about the hau
dles and in the creases are sure to ap
pear, while broken, nicked and cracked
dishes will be her despair. Better far
cheap dishes without nicks and cracks
and with dainty, polished surfaces
than the finest ware poorly cared for.
The china should never be mixed
with the cooking and kitchen utensils
and dishes. The latter should lie
washed first and put away. Then the
soup plates should he held under run
ning water or plunged into a pan of
clean water and piled together. The
meat and fish plates and entree dishes
should be thoroughly scraped, rinsed
like the soup plates and each kind
piled together. The dessert dishes
should follow the sanio course. Cups
with fragile handles should occupy an
isolated position on the dish table.
Spoons with bowls all pointing one
way, and knives and forks should be
laid in separate heaps. Two good-sized
pans, one for washing and one for
rinsing, and a dish drainer arc all
needed, and should be placed in i>osi
tion, with soapsuds as strong as the
hands will bear in the dish-washing
pan. First wash the glass-ware, then
1 plunge it quickly into the hot water
in the rinsing pan; place it in the
drainer and dry, and put it away as
soon as all are washed. Next wash
ami dry the cups and saucers in the
i same way and put them away. Then

wash, wipe and put away the silver,
cleansing the teaspoons first. All the
other dishes can bo washed, rinsed and
drained together. Water just below
the boiling point should be poured
over the china to rinse it.
It will take determination and pa
tience to get a maid into the habit of
washing her dishes in this way, but it
can be done, and in one family where
this method is always used, broken
and nicked dishes are almost un
known. There should be no sound
from the dishes during the entire
process.
