NEW DIUKCTOKY.
CYCLOMEKE DECISIONS.
White Mr. i-rowrte, in anoilici column
oxpresses the opinion that tho Portu
Kuo.st may do w 11 on the plantations,
he doos not explain why thfy steadily
get away from them. Nor dos he sot-m
to le aware of thc great changes in
character of the Portuguese people.
The majority of Portugue.se immi
grants could not rrad or writ.-. Within
1G years only: J,.0'J children of those,
immigrants have been born h?re, have
had fairly rood food, the best of cli
mate, and we, the dominant race, have
given them the same education which
makes children in America desire and
demand much better environment?
than their parents have. If we px
peotel to keep these children, as a
class, on the plantations, we should
have kept them in ignorance, and
want. We have made them ambitious.
The dangerous class in India toda-' is
that of the Indians educate! under
British, rule. As the young .Portuguese
mature, they naturally refuse the plan
tation life, because it is, they say, hope
less. They can purchase no land. On
the majority of the plantations they
are forced to associate more or less
with the .Asiatics. They are subject to
lunas. They struggle for better condi
tions. If these are refused them, they
become dissatisfied citizens. As voters
they will side against those whom they
believe oppress them, even if they do
not.
It is this rapidly increasing number
of young Portuguese that must be pro-
Tided for in some way, if they are to
become and remain good citizens. No
doubt a reconstruction of the planta
tion system might improve matters, but
the needs of the plantations, as. now
conducted, will keep ithe Asiatics in
keen competition with them.
It is a hardship that we should edit
cate these children, teach them to have
"wants," and then bring them in con
tact with ithe cheapest Asiatic labor we
can obtaLi. We are not criticising the
inen who carry on the sugar industry.
Hut we state simply a condition.
Several of the intelligent young Por
tuguese tell us that they cannot buy
land on this Island, excepting at ex
horbitant prices. There are only 43S
Portuguese own; :s of real estate 'in the
Islands, out of the tr.,191 Portuguese in
habitants. Events will make these
young people a dangerous class in time,
unless some sort of statesmanship
shows them a way of becoming con
tented. To do this, is not a missionary
affair, but a matter of self-preservation
to even the sugar industry.
We are educating these young people
to become, under certain circumstances
a dangerous class, or under other cir
cumstances to become a nvst desirable
class. But it looks as if they were al
ready educated beyond the plantations,
as now conducted.
Tiie Hawaiian Gazette -Co. I.Li., ha;
concluded arrangements for the publi
cation of a new directory for 1S9S-0U
i. is inie-uueu o nuiKe . nis me mo-.it
complete compendium of information
ever issued in those Islands. Beside?
the usual alphabetical list of names,
the Look will contain statistics relating
to the various Island industries, im
ports and exports, customs and postal
regulations, digest of land laws, de
scription and historical matter relating
lo the Islands, information relating to
the various societies and religious or
ganizations, extracts from the Census
returns, In fact everything 'that goes to
make a modern up-'.o-d ate. Directory.
The publication will be essentially a
home one, ais the canvass will be made
by Island boys, and the printing and
binding by the Gazette office.
Mr. T. J. Birch, a gentleman of many
years' experience in. the preparation of
Directory matter, here and abroad, will
assist in the compilation and will call
on the various business houses for the
purpose of arranging as to advertising
space. We bespeak for him the atten
tion of the business community.
PERSONAL A!ifD PECULIAR.
LEGISLATIVE RECONCILIATION.
The strained relations existing be
tween the two branches of the Legis
lature no longer e.visi.
The House passed a bill and sent it
up with a card of introduction to the
Senate. The Senate, being confused,
or careless, or irritable from having
been up with the baby all night, tossed
the card back and refused ordinary
parliamentary etiquette to the bill,
leaving it to cool its heels on the door
step. The House, being a body of
dignified men, and lusty with rich leg
islative blood, naturally resented the
gross indignity as it called it. For sev
eral days there appeared to be immi
nent, danger of an "unpleasantness."
Our own suggestion that each body
form itself into a football team, and
try the Wsue on the Makiki grounds,
was not kindly received. The rumor
that the members of these two enlight
ened bodies sought personal encounters
is entirely untrue. Both have conduct
el themselves with the utmost prop
riety outwardly, especially the House,
which must always feel the indignUy
i replied in seating the Senate on an up
wr floor, while the representatives of
the people arc deliberately placed on a
floor underneath.
This crisis in the history of the Re
public has passed. Righteousness (the
House) has kissed Peace (the Senate).
Both may now unite in stirring up with
"if 'not, why not" poles the Executive
family in its cage.
This hour of reconciliation should
be marked with some simple service of
mutual respect and united action. Bet
the same question be asked of the Cabi
net at the same moment, in each body.
The simultaneous asking would indi
cate a complete union of forces, and
warn the Ministers that the awful pow
er of interrogation still lives. Bet it be
done at midnight, and by a Senator
and Representative who is gifted with
"Is your wife interested in all this
war talk?"
"Interested? She went down cellar
today and threw out eleven jars of
Spanish pickles." Chicago Record.
The interest in the Hawaiian annex
ation may be temporarily obscured by
greater matters, but there is no danger
that the Islands will be moved away,
Washington Star. (The news of the
recent "flood" has evidently not reach
ed Washington.)
"I suppose," remarked the inveterate
pessimist, "that when war finally
comes, we shall only be fairly started
when some fool will get up and propose
arbitration." Philadelphia North Am
erican.
A California Referee Passes an
Opinion On Them.
A gentleman, who has been prcrni
nentl; identified with wheel racing,
both in this city and on the Coast, of
his own volition submitted to Root M.
Waleh, of California, statements of the
mo-., notorious controversies ant
ing during the list of racing at Cj!o
mere. The cases are well known to all
interested ia the sport here. 3.1 r. Wab.L
was sent along with a plain account of
the facts a copy of the rules that gov
erned racing at Cyclomere. In each in
stance he endorsed the verdict of the
referee. So far as the first affair was
concerned (Terrii, et al) the referee
promptly offered to forfeit $100 if his
decision would net be upheld by the
best authorities in the United States.
Terrill would not listen to any such
proposition, knowing well that he was
wrong. The second case was a trifle
more complicated, but Walch says the
referee va3 right. Mr. Walch has for
five years been chairman of the racing
board and referee in California. He has
presided and rendered final judgment
at hundreds of meets and still holds his
position. He i3 not a salaried man in
the wheeling ranks, being an amateur
with the machine, and in business a
banker and handler of real estate.
