the papers herc'aro mostly owned by
corporate bodies, and their editors
arc the paid servants of those bodies.
Ipresume the corporations formulate
the policy of their papers, and the
duty of the editors is to carry it out,
in pursuance of which an editor may
advocate views at variance with his
own. In view of the foregoing, is it
not absurd to single out and attack
editors, as is the custom of an insig-
nilicant portion of the local press,
when the policy of the papers is the
proper thing to deal with? To one
who has always supposed an editor

1.-THE LAND FOR THE PEOPLE,"

The land question is fast becom-
ing a leading one in the United
States. The people are waking up
to the fact that the public domain,
once deemed almost inexhaustible,
has been squandered upon Gland
sharks" until the territory suitable
for settlement is actually reduced to
sparse limits. Lately seventy-eight
veterans, discharged from the regu
lar army, held meeting in New
York, to discuss the mismanage-
ment of the Government in the ille
gal donation and selling of public
lands to railway syndicates and for
eign corporations. One speaker said
the best land had been given to for
eigners, and soldiers were offered
property in Washington Territory,
which could not be cultivated. A
committee of seven was appointed
to form plan of action for organi-
Zation and to ascertain what claims
foreign body had upon Govern
ment lands. 1t has come to a seri-
GUS pass, truly, if the gallant de
tenders of their country, when old
age is approaching and they have
honorably retired from service, can
net receive, out of all the boastedly
vast dominions of the nation, home
steads capable of yielding them a
comfortable living for the remainder
of their days. The rewarding of
long service, either civil or military,
with public lands, provided the
superannuated servant desires to
end his days in rural occupation and
retirement, is mark of enlightened
government. This is matter that
should not be neglected by Hawai-
ian legislators at the next session,
since the settlement of the public
lands has been made a part of
national policy. There should be
an end to granting protracted leases
of large tracts to speculators and
corporations, so that, until every
acre of the land shall have been
taken up in homesteads, there may
at all times be land available fol-
retired soldiers, policemen, or Other
public servants who have not receiv'
ed salaries above certain figure
We hope the day may come wher
this Kingdom can command, fol

THE AMERICAN CONTRACT LABOR
ATT

The Foreign Contract Labor Act,
just passed by Congress, makes it
"lnlawful for any person, company,
partnership or corporation to in any
way assist or encourage the importa-
ton or immigration of any alien or
aliens, any foreigner or foreigners,
into the United States, or its Terri
tories, or the District of Columbia,
under contract or agreement, parole
or special, express or implied, made
previous to the importation or migra-
ton of such alien or aliens, foreigner
or foreigners, to perform labor or
service of any kind in the United
States, its Territories, or the Dis
trict of Columbia. Any such con-
tract or agreement as described
above shall be utterly void and of
no effect" For every violation of
any of the provisions of the first
clause of the Act, the offender is
liable to q penalty Of $1,000, re-
coverablc as an ordinary debt, either
by the United States or the first per-
son prosecuting therefor; and a
separate suit may be brought for
each alien or foreigner being a
partner to the illegal contract or
agreement. The master of any ves-
sci is liable to penalty of $500 and
Imprisonment not exceeding six
months, for every foreign contract
laborer, mechanic or artisan he
brings into the country. Citizens Oh
subjects of any foreign country are
exempted from the provisions of the
Act, so far as regards the employ,
ment of private secretaries, persona
attendants, or household servants
Also the engagement Of skilled work
men abroad that cannot be obtained
in America, for any new industry
is permitted. Neither does the Ac
apply to professional singers, actors
etc., nor to personal or domestic
servants, nor to the case of persons
assisting their friends in foreigl
countries to emigrate to the Unitet
States.
The passage of this sweeping mea
sure may be regarded as great tri
umph for free labor in the Unite,
States. 1t has been one of the ano
males of the American protectiv
system, that it presented no obstacl
to the importation of cheap bond 10
Dor from all creation, by capitalists
to swamp the Independent worlsin
classes.
