la determining whether Kansas

kaM be a free or a slave State, short

tr after the year 1850, there was a bit

tar conflict between the Northern and

aathern men In Congress over the

viler which Congress ought.to pur

mob the subject. Stephen A. Douglas.

afterwards Mr. Lincoln's opponent for

tha oflce of President, was a Senator

i Illinois, and as a measure of com-

ilse, urged that It was not for Con-

to determine whether Kansas

amid be a freo or a slave State, but

that It should bo determined by the

atttlera themselves. In this settlement

Jaha Brown took a leading part. This

method of disposing of the matter was

called "Squatter Sovereignty." It was

a lawless way of building up homes on

the jralrle, for It was the law of the

rile, the law of might, which gave to

tha ataa who staked off a piece of gov

rmauat land the right to hold It wlth

oataay regard to the rights of his fel

low countrymen.

Senator Douglas would h.ive been

surprised, If lie had been told that

boat fifty years later, a band of or

thodox squatters would suddenly ap

pear In Hawaii and proclaim the. same

aavereignty on the slopes of Mauna

'Loa. This strain of sottlers scatter

over the vast area of the public lands,

after the manner of the Canada thistle.

They have no right whatever to occupy

any public lands which have not been

aanreyed and thrown open to settle

ment, but they trust that a good na

tared Congress will, In providing for

the opening up of such lands for occu

pation, declare that "nctual" scttlcM

ahall have the first selection. This hat

been repeatedly done in tho new ter

ritories. The Indifference of the public,

the cheapness of landh, the popular

feeling that every one should have, a

home, tho fact that the squatters have

Totes, has permitted this loose disposi

tion of public lands. During the later

years, however, this practice has been

tersely checked, and In some cases, es

pecially on tho Indian lands, tho Fede

ral troops have driven off the squat

ter. Thla is the game that has been open

ed on the island of Hawaii. It will be

defeated, of course, because tho game

la exposed.

The President's order, suspending

the aale of lanas, and asserting the title

of the United States to all public prop

erty, was made at the instance of the

squatters, who misrepresented the facts

la the case. The local Journal which

rejoices In the President's order, be

comes naturally the "Squatters' Bugle,"

and appears to be pleased with the

movements of these marauders. It Is

necessary for tho local government to

resist any Infringement of tho local or

Federal laws by these land grabbers.

This attitude Is quite sufficient to

hriag tho Squatters' Ruglo to the front,

and make it piay the Squatters' march,

a tone which will be Invariably fol

lowed by tho stirring music, "Anything

to beat tho Dole Government."

Any attempt to defeat a general

aqaatUng on tho public lands of the Isl

and of Oahu, will naturally bo de

aoanced as ''un-American," of course.

It might even be regarded as a patriotic

act If tho Squatters' Duglo would Itself

meat on Emma square, and so obtain

a tltlo to It by occupation and use.

Water tads Its level. So, does Journal

lata. Kree the thieves of London have

an "organ."

INTEKPHKIINU 'IHK LAW.

The Interpretation of the meaning of

the doubtful provisions of tho New

lands' Besolutlon, so far as they

affect individual rights, must lie made

by the Federal Courts, whenever ostab-

llahed here.

The President's Interpretation of

them may be binding on his appointees

and agents, but is not binding upon

any citizen, so that ho Is excluded from

recourse to tho courts.

There aro no Federal Courts estab

lished In these Islands, nnd therefore,

the provisions of the Nowlaud' Heso

lutioD cannot be reviewed at present.

If the President should modify, or

area reverse order regarding the

aale or UUpoaltlon of publli! lands, the

right of a I'ltlien or nsldeut would

aot be Affected, Tint Resolution Itself

does not confer on tho President the.

right to determine whether or not pule

But the Kewlands' Ite.toliitlon also

directs that the municipal laws shall

bo enforced. If not Inconsistent with

the provisions of tho Resolution. In

taking over the public property tn the

Federal .Oovernment, thcro was. un

fortunately, no reservation of any

power whatsoever In tho local govern-

ment, either to dispose of lands, or even

to tegulate streets, or Improve public

squares. The local government at tho

time of annexation asked the President

If ho construed the act to rcservo In Its

officers' the power to dispose of public

lands, and he responded substantially,

that the power to do so was retained.

Tho late opinion of the Attorney-Ocn-eral

caused him to change his mind.

But If the Attorney-Ocneral had

given an opinion that the local gov

ernment had the power to dispose of

public lands, or open streets and roads,

this opinion would not bind thl courts.

They will make their own Interpreta

tion of the' meaning of the Resolution

and their Iqtorpretatlon binds tha

President. '

As the President docs not desire to

embarrass the people of this territory,

he will probably modify his recent or

der, at leaBt bo ns not to bind the

hands of the local government In tho

making and use of roads. The Attorney-General

did not see tho far reach

ing forco of his opinion. The local

government Is not Injured by the Pres

ident's order but many citizens are

seriously Involved.

As tho President's orders do not make

settled law In tho rase, the enactment

of a territorial law by Congress Is

earnestly desired. The suspension of

work by the Hllo and Kohala railway

company, because, under the order, tho

local government cannot grant a right

of way over public lands, Is sincerely

regretted, on all sides, Tho only re

joicing over this suspension Is display

ed by tho squatters and the Squatters'

Bugle.

TIIK TAG AMIS.

Mr. Ferdlnnnil Hltinicntrlltc, of Hol

land, refers In tho Popular Science

Monthly to the relations of the Fili

pinos with tho Spaniards and creates.

He Is familiar with tho subject and as

an Independent and careful writer, Is

entitled to consideration. He says the

Filipinos resemble the Jnpaneso more

ot less In features, and "even excel

them in a moral respect.'' The Bchool

statistics show them to bo superior to

their former Spanish lords. They have

no larger percentage of illiterates than

Spain, of those who cannot read and

write. Ho quotes a bishop who was

astonlRhed to find In the Islands vil

lages hardly a person who could not

read and write. Ho says: "The pres

sure of tho colored people towards the

higher studies nnd the special schools

far exceeds the percentage which one

would anticipate from their propor

tion to the whole population." The

professions of medicine and law In Ma

nila have been crowded with Malays

and Mcstlza.t. Luna, a Filipino artist,

residing in Paris, was commissioned

some yoars ago by tho Spanish Sen

ate, to paint u portrait of Boabdll

Surrendering tho keys of Granada to

the Catholic Queen. Agulnaldo's War

Minister I.una, is pure blooded Ma

lay and a brother of this artist. He

studied In Spain and In Paris under

Pasteur. Ho Is a brilliant writer, be

sides, nnd his stylo has been compared

to that of Maupassant.

Kven those who nro In favor of benef

icent expansion, and sustain the Presi

dent's war policy, aro Inclined to be

lieve that there has been an error com

mitted In tho Philippines by hasty ac

tion, and Ignorance of the actual con

ditions prevailing there. Tho error Is

In assuming that the Tagalos arc sav

ages, and should bo treated as such.

That they should mistrust tho Ameri

cans, at tho close of tho Spanish war

I.) natural enough, after they have read

"A Century of Dishonor," which de

scribes the trcitmeut of tho Indians by

tho Federal Government, nnd seta forth

the statement nmie In tho American

Senate, that "every treaty made with

the Indians has been broken," or they

recall Mr. lleeclioi'g denunciation, that

"tho treatment of the Indians bv the

American people called for thu ven

geance of God."

Intelligent Fillplnoi reading Ameri

can history would naturally hesitate to

confide In tho Aincrioiin.

Gen. Harrison J, Otis, tho editor of

tho I .oh Angeles Tjinex, who Is a

staunch Republican, who was a con

spicuous candidate fur Secretary of

War, and has served In the Philip

pines, says In ait article republished in

this paper yesterday, that the blunder

of Consul WIMmun of Hongkong, "has

The Frlcinl publishes some valuable

atatlstlcs nlwut tho descendants of the

early missionaries which Is reprinted

In another column. There nro now liv

ing 300 children and 421 grandchildren.

Tho statement that eight of the child-

Ati tim nnw finipttvitfl In Pnrotvn Mtn

Hon gcrvce Is not correct. They re

side here, with ono or two exceptions,

In tho land of their birth, and among

their relatives and friends. This is not

Foreign Mission service. That service

Is distinct and Involves special self

sacrifice. Tho Friend, In alluding to tho third

generation of the missionary stock

says: "But that generation Is not os

near to tho old missionaries and hence

Is, perhaps, less Imbued with their

jplrlt."

This statement Is significant. It

compares tho spirit of tho third genera

tion with that ot tho first generation,

and Intimates that tho Christian blood

". the third Is rather thin. And why?

.his Is tho subject which the Adver

tiser urges should bo boldly and

thoroughly discussed. There should be

the strongest light cast upon It. Tho

Friend, and good people, following the

example of the Friend, shrink from dis

cussing these, questions as if they were

dangerous." But It Is tho sincere, the

earnest discussion of the difference in

"spirit" between tho first nnd third

generations of missionaries, which will

bring out tho truth nnd designate bet

ter methods of reforming the world.

Tho old New I'ngland farmer refused

to discuss agricultural aclence, and

stoutly claimed that ho liad nothing to

learn from the scientists. Ho lived and

died In Ignorance of the rich vegetable

and floral kingdom thnt lay unseen at

his feet, and was "gathered" nfter

three score years of n pork-and-beans

diet.

Theru In this samo tendency man

ifested in the discussion of tho mis

sionary problem.

To admit that tho third generation of

the missionary stock may bo less Im

bued with tho "spirit" thnn tho first

generation, as tho Friend Intimates, la

to admit that tho world, hero at leas:,

la moving backwards. Now that Is a

proposition which involves practical n

theism. Science points steadily In one

direction, that Is, to tho evolution of

all things In which there cannot be

any backward step. The third gen

eration Is "better" than tho first.

Goethu 8a Id that ho was an Infidel

who said that the movements of Chris

tianity were ever reversed. And every

school boy reads In Tennyson,

"And ono far off divine event,

To which the whole creation moves."

If the third generation has not a

better spirit than tho first, tho affairs

of the world aro In a muddle.

Thero Is right and Justice In the

chargo that many of those who should

bo foremost In discovering and adjust

ing the best and broadest methods of

advancing the Kingdom, are, like the

old New England farmers, unwilling to

move, nnd nro even unconsciously ap

proving of the atheistical proposition

that the Kingdom Is hardly able to

hold Its own, at least, In the third

generation of the old missionary stock.

Even the scientists, rejecting creeds

nnd dogmas, know that tho principles

taught by Christ are prevailing moro

and more every year, but they do not

manifest themselves in tho forms, nnd

creeds, and rituals which so many ot

tho "old tlmerB," unfortunately, be

llevo to be vital. Mr. Longstrcth, the

venerablo and philanthropic Quaker ot

Philadelphia, takes a train load of poor

mothers and children out of tho stifling

tenement houses ot tho. city, for an air

ing In tho country on Sundays. Ho

may not be Imbued with tho "spirit" of

his good ancestors who kept the airing

to themselves. But there Is a strong

suspicion about that hi it conduct helps

the coming of tho Kingdom.

If thero Is any measure of truth In

tho Friend's suggestion, tho fourth

and fifth generations will be a sad lot

nnd their loss ot "spirit" can only bo

restored by some powerful patent med

icine. TIIK DKWKV HKOrUTlO.N.

Tho Federal Attorney-General doc3

not agreo with the Territorial Supreme

Court In Its vIchh regarding tho regis

tration of foreign vessels in this Ter

ritory. The Supremo Court relied,

nraoug other things, upon the opinion

of Chancellor Kent, ono of tho highest

legal authorities, which regarded a

ship's registration ns an. act which was

governed by tho municipal laws. Con

gress declared that our own municipal

laws should remain In force and the

Supremo Court followed th'ls opinion of

Judge Kent.

But tho Attorney-General explains

and extends the doctrine laid down by

Judge Kent and holds that the registra

tion of a vessel Is nn International act,

and ono which Involved sovereignty.

As these Islands are no longer sov

ereign, but a part ot the United States,

which Is sovereign, there can be no

registration ot foreign vessels liere.

He holds, therefore, that the registra

tion laws of Hawaii havo been repeal

ed by tho N'ewlands Resolution. This

view Is probably the correct one,

though It Is not freo from difficulties.

OUU KIVAL-T1IE BKKT.

In tho protective tariff which makes

the sugar Industry of Hawaii so profit

able lies our danger In tho future.

Admitting that protective tariffs are,

on tho whole, beneficial for the quick

est development of tho American in

dustries, they tend to foster over-production,

and, as many believe, encour

age the making of trusts. This Is tho

view which Mr. Havemeyer of the

Sugar Trust takes, but It Is stoutly

disputed by the Protectionists.

It is certain, however, that tho pro

tective tariff on sugar is the main

causer 'of the considerable growth ot tho

sugar-beet Industry, In several states

and the rapid growlh of tho sugar cane

industry in tho gulf States. The pro

tective tariff Is substantially tha

bounty which has already Increased

the sugar beet production In 1898-9'J to

4,977,471 tons, as against a sugar cane

product of 2,995,781 tons. At the same

time, somo allowanco must be made for

the great decline In Cuba of tne sugar

cane product.

The protective tariff operates In two

ways. On tho one hand, It tends to

eneourtgo the cultivation of tho sugar

beet, by making It immediately profit

able. Dn tho other hand, it is a vast

Industrial school which U gradually

educating thousands ot formers In the

ways and methods of producing the

best beet at the lowest possible cost.

Juit ns In tho manufacturing enter

prise, tho object of the manager is to

contrive, Invent and adopt labor sav

ing machines, so the tendency lit pro

ducing agricultural product I to

avoid te use of manual labor. Many
