BENEDICTION.
Amending the BIZ of flights.

In our last weeks paper we alluded to the
member from Hilo (Mr. Hitcheock) as having
said that if the law enforcing labor contracts was
unconstitutional, then the Constitution had better
be set aside. We have been corrected by the
honorable member, who furnishes us with the
language actually used by him in debate, namely
self the Master and Servant Act is contrary to the
Constitution, 1 do not look upon the Constitution as
such a holy instrument that it cannot be amended" -
We make the correction cheerfully. But now
seriously, docs the member from Hilo reflect what
part of the Constitution it is which as he hints
might possibly be amended in order to remove all
questions as to the possibility of enforcing con-
tracts to labor? 1t is the first Article of the
g Bill of Rights"-the Gerry last part of that
document which any person claiming to be Rep
resentative of the people should even hint at or
think of, as being possible to amend, to take
from or even to relax one idea of the interpreta-
ton most favorable to the subject. 1t is the duty
of such as he is to demand the whole Of the privi-
leges granted, or freedom guaranteed in the term
Sc inalienable rights" 20
We give the member from Hilo, however, the
benefit of our p~resuming that he had never fairly
considered the subject, not having spent much of
his time in a really free country. We also give
him the benefit of the following quotations from
John Stuart Mill:
"The principle of freedom cannot require that he
should be free not to be free. 1t is not freedom 10 be
allo1ced to ALLEVIATE his f~Teedom.''-( {" Mill on Lib
erty," p. 1887

shall be the Hawaiian idea

supported by its own receipts. During the first
few years, when it had the field to itself, it paid
its way along, and yielded a fair profit to its
publisher. But since the unholy crusade of the
Government, in establishing a paper, which is
virtually furnished free to its readers at the public
expense, it has been an up hill work to sustain
the independent native paper. DIR. Hutchinson
admits that their paper is $4,000 in debt. Prob
ably $12,0O is nearer the actual debt incurred
in printing it for five years, or an annual loss of
S24OO.
The KUoKoA newspaper has, as yet, been no loss
to its publisher but we are free to say it is no
profit; and we don't propose to spend our ener-
gles in sustaining it without some compensation
for the outlay, risk and labor involved. AS the
administration takes the stand that a subsidy is
necessary to sustain ats Hawaiian paper, we must
do the same and hereby give notice that the
publisher of the KuokOa is prepared to enter into
negotiations for a reasonable subsidy for carrying
on that journal. The attention of the agents of
the Governments of China, Japan, Great Britain,
the United States, France or any other power or
potentate is hereby called to the fact, and we will
guarantee that the investment will return as
large a profit in the interest of its patrons as the
official Hawaiian paper does to this Government.
If the independent native press of Hawaii is to
be crushed and destroyed by its own paternal
Government, it win only die with its colors nailed
to the masthead.

HARRIS and Greely.

The speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
published in our last weeks issue contained SO
many Misrepresentation that one is at a loss which
to take up as the most glaring. But we will
begin with his extract said to be from Horace
Greely's paper, in which that distinguished poll
tician and philanthropists is made to assert that
the coolie system, in theory at least, is not Sc a
mild form of slavery, nor any form of slavery at
ALL" Now there is not a more determined enemv
of the Peruvian and Cuban coolie system than
Horace Greedy, as every one who has read the
Tribune in years past knows. Here, in the very
last number Of the Tribune now before us, Mr..
Greedy expresses his sentiments in the following
extract
We observe, and right gladly, too, that a bill to
make unlawful the importation of immigrants under
LABOR contracts was submitted in the Senate on Mon
uay' ana referred to the proper Committee. The
system under which the Dutch merchants of San
Francisco, Cornelius Koopmanschap & Co., proposed
to introduce Chinese coolies into the South. il the
one against which the bill is doubtless directed. It
VIII De that the system of Slavery which
the nation but lately obliterated at such terrible cost
was begun, something like two and a half centuries
ago, by the apprenticeship of a few score of Africans
by a Dutch trader who had stolen them, to Virginia
planters who really had no need for them. We shall
be glad to have the Senate spoil any possible b;stor-
ical parallel of this kind. But is Koopmanscban q Co.'S
system of labor-importation the only one which ought
to be regulatedf 1t has been intimated that some of
the Southern ~States-Virginia, South Carolina, Ala
bama, louisiana, and perhaps others-through agents
in this city and abroad, are seeking to secure Euro
pean immigrants on labor contracts having many
years to run, which we are assured, are simply a
system of apprenticeship. Such SYSTEMS, HOWEVER
EQUITABLE IN THEORY, HAVE GENERALLY RESULTED IN
PRACTICE IN NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN THE SLAVERY
OF THE APPRENTICE.
What becomes now of the Minister'S platform,
by which he said he was willing to stand or fall ?
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1870-06-11
The Ministers and the Native
Newspapers.

The Misrepresentation of facts, vindictiveness
and personalities resorted toby the Ministers in
the debates before the House are well illustrated
by the speech of Mr.. Harris given last week on
the Master and Servant Law by that of DIR.
Hutchinson on the press, commented on elsewhere
to-day, and by that of DIR. Smith, to which we
now propose to refer to. In illustration of the
deceit ~practiced by the official organ, let our
readers note that the Gazette Onlits entirely all re-
ference to DR.. Hutchison's trumped-up assertions,
of which the administration may well be ashamed
that it retains an advocate capable of putting for
ward such silly twaddle as he uttered. Moreover
1T garbles DIR. Smiths speech, and entirely omits
some statements which We propose to refer to.
The latter gentlemen, in his address says,
that the KuokOa newspaper was supported by
the American Board, but could not state exactly
how much" To a member who asked how
much he supposed was paid, he answered he
had heard $2500 per annum, but this reply was
not in his speech. What proof His Excellency has
we know not, but no Minister should make asser-
tions without proof. Now we distinctly deny the
truth of these statements and declare that the
American Board HAS NEVER PAID to the publisher
of the KuOkoa one dollar as a subsidy during its
years. existence. The Hawaiian Board sub
scribes and pays for some fifteen copies ($30)
sent to its Missionaries, and for one or more
years, it paid for space occupied by its notices and
other matter 800. This and nothing more. On
the contrary, it has repeatedly and peremptOrily
refused to aid in its publication. Now we ask
our readers what is to be thought of a Crown
Minister who can rise and deliberately utter such
false statements?
The object of these Misrepresentation Ito call
them by no harsher terms) is apparent to ALTO
influence the native members, and bring them to
favorable vote, before a public contradiction can
only be made. As there was no one in the House
who was able to deny the statements, the trick
and the appropriation was passed. If
our Government can only be carried on by such
dishonorable trickery and contemplate falsehoods,
the Ministers must fail to receive the support of
every honest man.
A word about the K11Okoa, published by us, and
we have done. For nine years the paper has been

Jubilee Week.

with interesting letters received from missionaries
located in other groups in this ocean, will be
read.
Wednesday will be a holiday, and the proceed
