I - I «* the citi*©w»of “th« most farored ; mtioQs” as stipalated in the i treaty. U nobody exerc»e3 a \ fmochise in Hawaii the J*panese ! elalie ceo*cs bec*us« «11 wh.it they «sk for is to be txeated e<)aally with the other iphahit«nts of our countrr. The Japanese„are nearer good c»tizens than tbe Chinese, «nd they | have entered but little into eom- ] Tv»tition nrith the Hawaiians foreign meehaaiea aml workiugmen. Tbe Advertiser ean talk as , mueh as it pleases about free labor (or Hawaii, the fact remains that Anglo-Saxons will never be fit for field labor in any j tropical or semi tropical eonntn . It is tberefore necessaiy to look to Asia for a labor snpply and it hns been proven, that the Chiuese form a very nndesirable and very objectionable class of eitizens while the J.»panese are : everything whieh weeau wish for. ( , it seems absnrd to prefer to fl.‘ xl the country with the fornier 1 class simply becau.se a small , portion of the Japanese colony consider that they have, as intel- ī ligeut educated and indostrious | eit : zeus and taxpayers, as good a rigbt to have a voice in the admiuistration of pnblic aflairs : as tbat grauted to the other strangers of whieh a great nnra- . ber even laek the ordinary qualificatious otherwise necessar3' for ■ fhe exercise of tbe rigbt of voting. Let us atop the uonsense about the Jnpanese desiring to gain supremacy here. , If they really wanted it they i could Lave obtained it loug ngo 1 and neither the P. G.’s or the j Leagnes or the Commander-in- : chief eoukl have prevented thera. | l If the planters mnst have more Ubor let them go to Japan for it. i We don’t want any Chinese in j | oars.

" - The secret Lengae desire n j stable form of government. Most of tbera are nsed to pulling strings, or ropes, or reins, a'nd the smell of the stables or forecastle, is most savory. Too bad that they have not a hand of ; irou that Las the honesty and i strength of character behind it to eompel them to step up to the Captain’s office aud settle, no matter how doleful the occnr rence might be tō them.

. » When the Spanish artists socalled wero tumbliug and playing their clownish tricks lately at the Opera House the Advertiser and other papers were wroth at their advertising events, not produeed. How will the Advertiser aud the Star and League and the Club feel when they fiud to mor row that theirholidav was akin to the “Spanish artists” perforraances.
