ARMSTRONG EDITOR. FRIDAY APRIL 1. tiik V(h:(t roin i m l.sk. 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 $100 if his decision would net be upheld by the best authorities in the United States. Terrill would not listen to any such proposition, knowing well that he was wrong. The second case was a trifle more complicated, but Walch says the referee va3 right. Mr. Walch has for five years been chairman of the racing board and referee in California. He has presided and rendered final judgment at hundreds of meets and still holds his position. He i3 not a salaried man in the wheeling ranks, being an amateur with the machine, and in business a banker and handler of real estate. Facts About Health if f$ It is Easy to Kaep We!!
