Thus Hawaii is not ac icanizatic mn American ter become naturaliz ple largely assimi of course, limitat such a statement. sto, Ther alifications So there would be in a similar statement about Massachusetts, as in th: case of the French-Canadian ele- ment. But in both places the elements which are partially or not at all Ameri- canized are not influential. They are de- pendent elements of society. Th2y do not materially influence the tone of ety or the conduct of affairs. In dealing with Hawaii, Congress has to deal with a thor- oughly American territory, for which no parailel exists in Porto Rico or other prob- able appendages to the United States. Density of Population In speaking of Porto Rico, the existing density of population in that valuable little island doubtless suggests what may be- come the future population of Hawaii, Th> former island, with about half the of the Hawatian Islands, supports 800,04) in- It is probably more fertile, or, rather, less arid, than these islands, for our soil is most fertile wherever moistur ists. Our climate probably has les half the moisture of Porto Rico, so that the soil cannot be as productive. On the other hand, it is much cooler, owing to the cold Alaska-Japan current of the ocean, which also causes the dryi.es3. Now, this c and dryness make this eminently a man’s climate. Having double the area of Porto Rico, we ought to be able to produce food for at least an equal population. But aside from our local food resource, a large pere*ntage of our future population is des- tined to find a livelihood from the enormous future commerce of the Pacific, of which Hawaii is the “cross-roads.” It would, therefore,seem not unreasonable to allow for Hawaii a population of 1,000,- 600 within the next century, or perhaps half century. In estimating the capacity of Hawaii to feed population, we may take the sugar crop as a guide.’ We shall next year produce nearly 300,000 tons of sugar, and with the present growth of plantations are likely soon to reach 400,000 tons. Now, there is no doubt that the same land which produces that amount of sugar could feed 500,000 persons with other food products But the acreage available for sugar is less than half the remaining acreage upon which crops could be raised during the rainy season. It would, therefore, seem to be a moderate estimate of the productive capacity of Hawaii that with skilled culti- vation it would feed 1,000,000 people. The preparations recently made here to enlarge the production of sugar are truly phenome! While this enlargement has been somewhat encouraged by annexation, that has not been the leading cause there- of. That cause is to be found in a recent immense development of artesian wells, and of steam pumping from the same, which is rendering available for sugar cul- ture considerable tracts of fertile hitherto considered hopelessly barren. immense m: ains, built up of vesicular lava, form v ponges of rock, which are saturated with water from the winter rains, Almost anywhere at sea level wells may be bored from which a pump will draw enor- land, Our mous supplies of fresh water. Onthe Island of Oahu such wells will flow at a height of forty feet above the sea. It is only very lately that it dis- covered that such weils on the other is- lands would yield a copious flow to pow ful although not oveflowing spontaneou ‘The great Success of the Ewa plantation Honolulu has stimulated the creation similar plantations on unis island. That red nearly 19,000. pout 3,000 acres of ma- ane. It raises water for irrigating els of from sixty to 200 feet above the . mostly from wells of twelve-inch bore, nd from 300 to 400 feet in depth. In coi sequence of the large profiits of Ewa, a ion was last year started in same district, which is already pump- ing to an altitude of 400 feet, and will soon have 6,000 acres in cane. This has twen- ty-four wells already in operation, with 0 sets of the latest improved pumps. The company expects soon to double this force. It pians to turn out 80,000 tons of sugar by 1001, Other Plantations. A third plantation of somewhat less ca- pacity has broken ground nearer Honolulu. A fourth one, for 30,000 tons, is being opened at Waialua, fifty miles from town by railway, with very flattering prospects. These three plantations promised an addi- tion of 80,000 tons of sugar from Oahu alone in the course of three or four years. Besides these, a 20,000-ton plantation is in prospect on the lower uplands of West Mo- lokai, ten miles from the leper settlements. This is to be irrigated from wells now boring at Kaunakakai, with pumps lift- ing to 400 feet. There is little or no doubt of entire success in this enterprise. There is’also progressing a great enlargement by the same method of the Pioneer plantation at Lahaina. “Other enterprises are planned at Lanai, and on the southwest lower uplands of East Mani, with what prospects I am una- ble to say. But there fs now in progress an immense enlargement by the same means of the great Spreckels plantation on Mani, or rather the Hawaiian Commercial Company. This concern has just changed Keep it in the house al- ways. - eaman on the 0c: ers are always spoken of shipping’ on the plantations.

At the p nt time about one-third of the laborers on the plantations are so bound. Two-thirds are entirely free, usually perienced hands working for higher wages than the recent immigrants. These free la- borers work better because more willingly: and most of the planters would prefer to depend altogether upon that class if they could get enough of them without payin teo high wages. To that alternative the yet be compelled, to yield if United law abolishes the contract s: his labor shadow over the future of the sugar industry. i ‘A somewhat hopeful ‘sslution of the prob- lem has appeared In the introduction of American white labor upen the plantation: While it cannot be é¥pected that American farmers will be willifg to labor in the cane | angs under overseers, as do the Asiatics, it is found that they are quite will- ing to cultivate the flelds*on shares, work- ing under their own direction. The mos ul of our managers, Lowrie of th plantation, has glready secured in Cal- ja the services of some fifty white farmers, a part of ‘Whom are already at work in their fields at Ewa. | The expert: ried question hangs as am Hawaiian nent had already been: successfully with Portuguese and.Japanese share work ers, so that the planter knew pr ly what was necessary. % The terms of this cg-operative farming are as follows: The“plagtation furnishes a comfortable house fy ganien plot, fad! and medical attendance, all freey with food sup- plies at moderate ‘prices, 7 The manage! also supply all tolts and fmplements used in cultivation, with teamis; all the foregoing free of charge. They also plant the cane and care for it until its growth is established. The farmer then cultivates, irrigates and “strips” it, giving it all the care required for, say, fif- teen months, until ready for grinding, ‘Thi plantation cuts and manufactures the cane. For his labor the cultivator is to receive cne-sixth of the sugar produced from the land cared for by_him. Each farmer has about ten acres. From this he about $600, or $40 a month, tripping the Cane. The only part of the required labor likely to be trying to white men is that of “strip- ping” the cane, on account of the heat in- side of the dense masses of the tall cane The farmer can easily hire Aslatic laborers for such work, if necessary. He is required to keep the cane in first-« order, treating it faithfully as directed the manager. There scems to be no doubt of the success of this system of labor. It seems probable that it will come to be widely introduced. While it will help to supply the needed la- bor element, it will perform a still more valuable service in helping to increase the white American element in ¥ ii. It will contribute to furnish immediate employment to American immigrants without capital un- til better openings are made for them. Our hope is that the future one million inhab- jiants of Hawaii will be of Euro- pean stock, and not of Asiatic. Our city has been swarming with Ameri- can soldiers from the transports bound to Manila, which for a fortnight past have made Honolulu their stopping place. These sht young men are delighted with Hono- lulu, and it will not be strange if very many of them hereafter seek to make Hawaii their home. Gen. King and his force, who have sojourned so long in “Camp Otis,” have at last embarked upon the Arizona, and are anchored in the outer roadstead, awaiting the development of several of fever on board, probably typhoid. It 1 most sad to record that typhoid fever be- came an epidemic both in “Camp Otis" and in “Camp McKinley” wholly through ne- glect of efficient sanitation. It 1s believed that the cause has now been rectified. KAMEHAMBHA. esas AGED WOMAN HURT. Is Knocked Down by Gen. Breckin- ridge’s Carriage.

THE SUPPRESSED LETTER Written by President Grant to the Governor of South Carolina, His Opinion of the Hamburgh Mas- sucre—Its Applicability at the Present Time, Concerning the “race riots” in the Caro- linas, an official of the United States Senate nade th? following interesting statement today to a Star reporter: “The clear, forceful, y2t very remarkable, utterances of the Charlestown News and Courier, quoted in The Evening Star edi- torial of th2 17th, relative to ‘the race trou- bles in South and North Carolina,’ taken in connection with the comprehensive edi- torial in Tne Star of the 18th instant, seem to warrant the r3production of a famous letter sent by President Grant to the gov- ernor of South Carolita, at a time, twenty- two years ago, when outrages not unlike those of last week were committed in th2 palmetto state. “What Grant said in 1876 and what the Charleston News and Courier says in 1895 would make almost a ‘deadly parallel. President Grant's letter to Governor Cham- berlain was suppressed in the south—and, by the bye, that suppression constitutes a bit of interesting history, the ‘inside’ facts of which I have from the responsible party. It was done because it was thought by cer- tain influential southern newspaper men to b> improper for publication in the press, and its text was, therefore, suppressed, and only cautious allusions were made to its contents—the excuse having been that the President’s utterances would hav2 the ef- fect of inflaming the populace in certain parts of the south, and possibly increase the danger of further disorder and blood- shed. . President Grant’s Letter. “The text of that letter is as follows: “EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 26, 1876. “Dear Sir: Iam in receipt of your letter of the 22d of July, and all the inclosures enumerated therein, giving an account of the late barbarous massacre of innocent men at the town of Hamburgh, 8. C. The viawa which you express as to the duty you owe to. your oath of office and to the citizen, to secure to all their civil rights, fmcluding the right to vote according to the dictates of their own consciences, and the further duty of the executive of ths nation to give all needful aid, when properly call- ed on to do so, to enable you to insure this inalienable right, I fully concur in. “The scene at Hamburgh, as cruel, bloodthirsty, wanton, unprovok>d, and as uncalled for as it was, is only a repetition of the course that has been pursued in other southern states pect ete Jae tem 2 notably in Mississippi na. Xtissts is governed today by officials chosen through fraud and violence, such as would scarcely be accredited to savages, much less to a civilized and Christian peo- le. c PIS grow totig: these"things are to continue, or what is to be the final remedy, the Great Ruler of th universe only knows. But I have an abiding faith that the remedy will come, and come speedily, and earnestly hope that it will come peacefully. ““There has never been a desire on the part of the north to humiliate the south. Nothing is claimed for one state that is not freely accorded to all the others, unless it may be the right to kill negroes and re- without loss of caste or reputation. This bas seem2d to be a privilege claimed by a few states. Promised Every Aid. “I repeat again that I fully agree with you as to the measure of your duties in the present emergency, and as to my duties. Go on, and let every governor, where the same dangers threaten the peace of his state, go on in the conscientious perform- ance of his duties to the humblest as well as the proudest citizen, and I will give every aid for which I can find Jaw or con- stitutional power. Government that cannot give protection to the lite, property and all guaranteed civil rights (in this country the greatest is an untrammeled ballot) to the citizen is in so far a failure, and every en- ergy of the oppressed should be exerted (always within the law and by constitu- tional means) to regain Jost privileges or pretection. Too long denial of guaranteed rights is sure to lead to revolution, bloody revolution, where suffering must fall upon the guiity well as the innocent. Expressing the hope that the better judgment and co-operation of the citizens of the state over which you have presided so ably may enable you to secure a fair trial and punishment of all offenders, with- out distinction of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and without aid from the federal government, but with the prom- ise of such aid on the conditions named in the foregoing, I subscribe myself, ““Very respectfully, ‘U. 8.
