SLAVERY

Scarcely all American mail fails to
bring newspapers containing charges
against Hawaiian planters, that they
maintain a system of virtual slavery
upon their estates. One of these
articles is before us now, clipped
from the Chicago Times of March
2Sth. 1t says the "poor wretches''
contract laborers-" arc herded
together like cattle, whole families
being given cabin of one room for
their accommodation" Wages are
stated to be SIS Il month for men and
S5 for women, but even these paltry
amounts are doclled for time lost in
rainy days and sickness. Nccessaries
have to be bought at the plantation
stores, enormous rates being charged
for them. 1.-The South Sea Islanders
and the Chinese" the article says,
manage to live because their wants
are few; but no European laborcr,
accustomed to ordinary comforts,
can ever do more than keep out Of
debt under this ingeniously devised
SYSTEM A comparison that we
believe to be grossly invidious is
made between certain section of
the planters and one large concern.
If the charge is true with regard to
a portion of the section in question,
we know that it is not so regarding
the whole Of it. However, these re-
peated charges of slavery in this
kingdom cannot be much longer
ignored with credit to the country.
There are many people here who,
when questioned upon the matter,
say that there is enough truth in
them to prevent their being success
fully contradicted as whole. The
Government owes it to the good
name of the country to make Il
searching investigation into the mat
ter and put an end to the abuses if
found to exist. Moreover, there is
danger of the best sources of our
labor supply being dried up by in
human treatment of contract laborers,
if the Kingdom does not even get
into serious foreign complications
from that cause. Those planters,
we trust comprising large majority,
who treat their laborers well, are
very much wronged by these whole
sale and almost indiscriminate de-
nunciations of the guild which are
going abroad, it seems, with increas-
ing number. 1t is therefore incum-
bent upon them, in sheer self-defense,
to assist in the redress of whatever
serious grievances contract laborers
are subject to in any part of the
Islands.

THE NOISY BOYS.

EDITOR BULLETIN IL shall be
grateful if you will allow one of the
weaker sex little space to express
Indignation at the conduct of GER
tain class of theatre-goers. You
have on previous occasions done
your best to remedy the evil of
which l complain, therefore / feel
sure you will not deny me an oppor-
tunity for word or two on the same
matter. l take pleasure in render
ing my mite towards the support of
theatricals that visit us from time to
time, and generally feel that i get
full value for my money. Especial
ly do | consider the San Francisco
Dramatic Company, at present play
ing in the Music Hall, deserving of
support. The plays they select are
chaste, good, and instructive. The
most fastidious have no cause to
complain on this ground. The act
ing is also good, on the whole, very
good. l have often seen worse even
in London and New York. But
what | have to complain of is the
conduct of a portion of the audience.
The whistling, screeching, and other
noises are sometimes horrible, and
completely destroy the pleasures Of
the performance. Last night the
conduct of some hoodlums in the
gallery was unbearable. Such con-
duct certainly has the effect of keep
ing decent people at home, when
they prefer paying their dollar and
getting its value in an evenings
amusement. Why don't the police
maintain order, and expel those who
conduct themselves in such 4 dis
graceful manner? Is it not their
duty to do so? have seen police
men here sit by and never think of
using their authority to quell the
atrocious uproar. Why so? L, for
one, certainly think they neglect
their duty. If the police cannot be
induced to interfere, would it not,
| Mr.. Editor, be good thing to pub
lish the names of the gallery cul-
prits! There are several of us who
would very gladly furnish a list,
authenticated by our own signatures.

THE .DOUBLE HEADER' SYSTEM.
How it Works on the Fort Wayne Il
Chicago Railroad-Great Detention
of Trains-The Way in Which
Party of Enterprising Railroad
Officials scot Left.''
Fr. WAYNE, Ind, Jan. IA.

The strike of the breakmen of the Pitts
burg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago Railroad against
the ''double header" system of running
freight trains remains unchanged. Only
one freight train left this city bound east to-
day, which eluded the strikers by running
through the city at high rate of speed. The
wards are blocked with freight trains. No
mail, express or passenger train has yet been
molested.
The strikers have been reinforced by the
arrival of brakemen who were on the road
when the strike began. Superintendent Low
arrived here today and the strikers laid their
grievances before him. No action, however,
was taken. train consisting of 80 cars OF
live stock arrived here this morning and was
stopped BY the strikers, who would not allow
it to move until permission was granted by
the strikers committee to transfer the train
to the Wabash road, which was done, and
the train went east from here over that road.
At about o'clock Supt. Low and other Off
clals took shifting engine and run 20 Grand
Rapds Junction, mile from here, where
two freight trains, stopped yesterday by the
strikers, still stand, and tried to re-couple the
trains Notwithstanding the fact that force
of police was present. body of strikers fol-
lowed on another engine which they had
captured, and on arriving at the junction
coupled the two engines together and COM
pelled the officials to dismount, and after
securing the links and pins carried out by the
officials, brought both engines back to the
CITY, leaving the officials to walk back. No
violence was used on either side and no ar
rests were made.

What Joseph r. Weeks Says of st. Johns
Alleged Attempt to Sell Out.

PrrrsBuRG, Pa, Jan, L.
Joseph P. Weeks, late secretary of the
republican national committee, in an inter
view tonight, said:
II have read carefully the interview with
5. 5. Clsrkson, in the Chicago Tribune of
Jan. Is, regarding the overtures made by
ST. John to sell out to the republicans in the
late campaign. As it was well known that
am prohibitionist, though not St. Johnite,
both Clarkson and Kerens kept me informed
as to the overtures made, and showed me
the correspondence. As far as l am ac-
quainted with the facts, and had knowledge
of almost every instance referred to in Mr.
Clarkson's interview, he states them cor
rectly.
| have seen the originals of the letters of
Jas. +. Legate to Clsrkson and Kernes, and
have copies of them taken from the originals
by myself and these letters as given by
Clarkson and kernes are correct, be-
lieved at the time and still believe that Lee
gate was representative of ST. John and
acted with his full knowledge and consent =
