SOME WEEKS since. the -NthO1 preached the idea
of Reciprocity with Australia. We thought ut
the time. and still think, that the project is FEAST
bic, and well worthy of consideration, more par
ticularly az to the large and important colony of
Victoria, of which the Gourishing city Of Mel
bourne is the capital. The people Of Melbourne
are noted throughout Australia for their l~iberality
and enterprise. being in their go-ahead character
istics the Yankees Of the antipodes. Recently
some Melbourne merchants made a short stay in
our city ON their way East. and on the idea hav-
ing been suggested to them in conversation, Of a
treaty Of Reciprocity between this kingdom and
the colony Of Victoria, they expressed their un-
qualified approval, and declared their opinion
that it would be received with great favor by their
government, and would be acquiesced in unhesi-
tatingly by the Home Government. The duty on
raw sugars in Victoria is about Il cent and a half
per round. Another half cent or more would be
saved in shipping our sugars thither IN mat bags,
which are the fayOrite containers in that market,
instead Of kegs, as we now send to California.
Under Reciprocity, Victoria could take every
pound of our sugar product. In return, We would
receive from Melbourne, cheaper than we now i'm
port direct, all the European goods that we re-
ouire. We repeat, we consider this project of
Reciprocity with Australia as one well worthy Of
consideration. And it may prove that instead of
humbly sueing for what We need from our proud
and distracted neighbors at the East, We can have
it for the asking in another direction.
The withdrawal of the Webb line to Australia
by no means signifies the discontinuance for the
future Of steam communication between California
and the Colonies. On the contrary, the expert
enee of the route, both as regards freight and
passeDgers-more particularly the latter-has
beep such that a new line, under better auspices
than the last, is sure to be ~inaugurated before
long. Melbourne and Sydney, and New Zealand
also, cannot now do without the San Francisco
route to England, once having enjoyed it. As to
ourselves, Honolulu is the natural halfway house
between Australia and America, and must, as O
matter Of course, remain the principal port of
call.

SAGE ADVICE was that impaired by ar old law
yer TO a young one, who had Just beei elevated
to the Bench III one Of the new safes OF the
West: When you have made " your mind
on a case, state your opinion aA decision as
briefly as possible but never give your reasons
therefor. The moment you unsertake to give
reasons, the trouble begins" We were forcibly
reminded of the soundncss ot this advice after
reading the editorial review by the Gazette of
this week of the decisions Of the full Bench of
the Supreme Court in the .ase of u II. Wood
vs.. Afo. alias Cheon Yar Sang The Gazette
does not concur with theopiniOn of the majority
Of the Court. and proceeds to give reasons"
let us briefly examins these reasons, promising
that it is unnecessary to detail the facts in the
case, with which the public must be quite fami-
liar. ~
In the first place we are told that the time
spent in prison by Afo, was d" involuntary Servi-
tuds, L" recognized by the Constitution as SUCH
Precisely so the words Of the Constitution are
-. Involuntary servitude, except for or''ne' is
forever prohibited in this Kingdom Afo was
fairly tried by the Court and jury who were
r,ur co,nne.ent at that time to consider the ques-
tion of revocation for his crime, the legal
punishment for which crime constituted his inabil-
;tv n fnIfll his contract. No man can plead the

I The CASE of Kimo Kamai, for assault with a
deadly weapon with intent to kill, was tried in
the Supreme Court on Thursday last, and resulted
in a verdict of acquittal, tue jury having evident
ly adopted the theory set up ,by the prisoners
counsel, that of " temporary insanity" Thus
has Hawaii nei at length wheeled into line of the
fashion Of the times, and adopted the convenient
hypothesis, when it is desired to cheat the law, of
g emotional insanity" Nobody believes that
Kumai was really insane when lie fred bis
pistol point blank at DR.. Trousseau, and deliberf
ately r~eloading it, after t.. lapse Of half an hof

and viciousIy desperate, in view of beng depried
of his liberty and expecting to be sent to MoSkal
as a confirmed leper, and his conduct Wa the
result of calculating reason, whereby he bored to
escape the dreaded deportation. 1t was rot an
act done in a sudden fit of unreasoningf passion,
but evidently one of cool premeditatio1. 50 that
if he was insane then, he was and HIS been so
both before and since the shooting. ia he been
convicted, as the evidence led us to 19'pose would
undoubtedly have been the case, wa should have
hoped and expected to see the loyal clemency
exercised i'll his peculiar case. Ft we regard the
precedent that is afforded by theSerdIct OF acqult-
tai in his case, as likely to prfe a mISchieVous
one in future trials Of q like lature. The legal
fraternity will not be Slow tourge temporary In

again" SAYS our reviewer and expounder OF
law, - was not the return Of the defendant TO
service under the contract, fro years afier as e.
piration, clearly barred by the limitation Of the
law?" Clearly not, we think for the very rea-
son addueed by our contemporary, that the " law
provides that DO service imposed by reason OF
failure to perform a contract, shall extend beyond
one year next after the expiration of the original
term Of service" The decision OF the majority
of the Court in this instance imposes no dddI-
HoHol service - by reason Of failure To perform a
contract, - but simply requires the fulhilment Of
.. the original term of service, which has never
yet expired.
The question is asked, Now, may not a
statute of Limitations apply TO labor as well as TO
debt?" No; for the simple reason that there is
no provision of Laws to that effect. Courts can
not make tue laws - says the Chief Justice :;
" it is their duty to interpret and enforce them. -
The novel proposition so Dramatically laid down
by tie Gazette. that :" the principle of the
statute of limitations should bar the claim of the
plaintiff, where the law so distinctly limits the
time after which i contract shall be binding" is
Ingenious, but untenable, and slightly mixed
withal.
Let us suppose" says the Ga>ette, " that
Afo had been sentenced to nrsnfy years imprison-
ment, and at the end Of that term, his master
claims the fulfIlment Of the contract" Let US
ask just here, how the lapse of time measures
the degree of legal sanctity of a contract,-say
five years, ten years, or twenty years? Let us,
in turn. supuose n case. Let us suppose that the
editor of the Gazette has to-day employed a per-
son under "a written contract to labor for the
term of six months. Tomorrow, that laborer,
having obtained a good sum of money as advance
wages, and wishing to avoid his contract, COM
Inits an ofiense under the law for which he is i'm
pri8oned during a term of six months. At the
expiration Of the term of imprisonment, would
not our friend the editor be promptly on hand FOL
his man to serve out the contract? And when
he was told that the . original term of service >
had expired, and that his remedy Was an action
for damages against n man without property
would not he regard this as mere mockcry?
Perhaps we cannot better conclude our motto,
of this subject than by quoting the following
summing up by the Gazette, IN the sentiment o
which we fully concur:
Courts should compel every contract entered int
knowingly to be faithfully executed, but strictly &C
cording to the law. No labOrer should have the op
ton TO willfully absent himself from work, and thu
violate his engagement neither should the enploye
have the right to violate his engagement with I'M
punity. The interests of all demand that contract
be faithfully carried out, under a reasonable con
struction of the law, not merely for the protection o
the laborer, bat also for that Of the employer, tn
capitalist, and all business interests dependent OF
them.
