THE SKINNER & co. PETITION.

Messrs. Skinner Il Co. have petit
toned the Legislature for the pay
ment of q number of thousands of
dollars which they claim is due
them on a contract for bringing
Portuguese immigrants into this
country three or four years ago.
The late Minister of the Interior
refused to pay the amount on the
ground that the contract had not
been carried out. The petitioner
had already brought suit in the
Supreme Court, but the case had
not come to a hearing, and it is
stated that it has been discontinued.
1t is too clear for argument that
the Legislature is no place for such
claims. If ever a body was untitled
by it's whole composition and
organization for passing upon any
matter whatever with discretion
and impartiality-a Legislature is.
The attempt of Skinner 4 Co. to
change the venue and get their
claims passed upon by a partizan
instead of a judicial body, tends at
the outset to discredit their good
faith. AS Rep. Brown stated very
forcibly in the House, the place to
pass on every such matter is a
Court of Law or Equity. When
the highest judicial authority of the
Kingdom has declared that petit
toner is without legal remedy, it is
time enough for him to go to the
Legislature.

as only as much would fall due in one
year.
Noble Isenberg said the road could not
be built In year, il would take prob
ably five years and only one-fiith would
be payable each year.
hep. Brown said in regard 10 the
statements made by Rep. White that
the company did not own one acre OF
land on the other side except at IA
huku and then the plantation had its
own track. This railroad will make a
great deal OF work for mechanics and
native Hawaiians. 1t would be- great
benefit TO the natives OF koolau. Ii will
give an opening for small lands over
there and would be great benefit. The
bugbear had been the guarantee OF in
terest. He WAS not sorry that the House
had rejected that section, he had been
very doubtful about it himself.
Noble Widemann am sorry the
last speaker did not say what he has be-
fore, on section 2. That was the life ol
the bill. That gone, the bill is now A.
dead as door nail. Nothing can be
done except to give big subsidy, 81 SOC
mile won't do any good. The money
would have to be borrowed 1T s or Q pei
cent, and they won't get it even at that
The bill is killed unless We give $5,00t
or 5000 persmile subsidy, and am MOI
ready for that.
Rep. Bush favored passage of the sec
ton. The enterprise ought to be en-
coursged. Mr.. Dillingham; WAS an en-
ergetic man and the Legislature ought Il
extend q helping hand to his enterpris.
as il had to others.
Reps. Il. w. Wilcox and Kapaehaol,
also spoke.
The House adjourned at 4 :25 without
coming to a vote
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-08-28

The power which the Legisla-
ture undoubtedly has to satisfy
claims which have no legal basis is
a dangerous one, and should be
very sparingly used. 1t is easily
susceptible of great abuse. Ex-
ceptional legislation is always an
evil, though sometimes-in rare
cases-a necessary one.
The House has laid the petition
in question on the table, and we be-
lieve the members will very judici-
ously leave Messrs. Skinner Il Co.
to seek remedy in the Courts.

THE DISCRETION BILL.

Yesterday the inevitable bill to
restore the old law of desertion
succeeded in getting itself passed to
engrossment, by the solid vote of
the native members. The old law
permitted a husband to punish a
recalcitrant wife who persisted in
deserving him, by shutting her up
in prison. This obvious and tempt
ing method of tanning ones spouse
into tractability it is which the
present bill seeks to restore.
We are far from condemning this
law absolutely. 1t makes the con.
dition of the wife one of virtual
slavery, to be sure, but what of
that? Has it not always been
such? We should not forget that
laws and political institutions have
merely a relative value. Their
worth depends on their adapta-
bility to conditions, and the law is
perhaps as well suited as any other
to semi barbarous people.
We decline, however, to put the
tow estimate upon native Hawaii
ans which seems to prevail among
the native members. We think
better of the race than they and
think their bill bad one. At any
rate, this country processes to be
one of the civilized nations of the
earth-and it must be governed by
civilized laws.
Probably the bill will be rejected
on its third reading.

Noble Phillips moved the petition of
Skinner & Co. be taken from the table

matter which ought to be considered by

children did not average more than two
| children under II years to each family,
| the Hawaiian Government would be
satisfied. Circumstances made it i'm
possible to recruit laborers if no single
| family was to have more than two child

mand for laborers to go to Brazil and
very favorable terms were offered.
Minister Brown thought that the hon.

OVERRIDING the Thing.

A customer asked a storekeeper in
Plainfield the price of the best quality Of
a certain article. The reply was: "Forty
cents per pound, ten cents higher since
the passage of the Mckinley bill" Now,
the fact is, the whole duty on that article
is only five cents per pound, and not a
cent of increase. These people who make
an excuse for high prices by pleading the
Mckinley bill need watching. They are
OVERRIDING the matter, and their customers
should keep sharp keen eye on them.
You may find all over the country just
such instances as here narrated II was
largely this dishonest cry on the part of
the seller which defeated the Republicans
at the last election, but there will be re-
action, and, IN the long run, the buyer
will know the facts in the case, and, very
possibly, he will take bis store account

on him on an unjust pretext. 1t pays &c

Last year many people fed from the in
tolerable humidity of the Northern climate
to that of the South, where uniformity Of
temperature and bright sunlight together
put new phase on life. This Winter

pursuance of a policy inaugurated several
years ago, and with many additional iu-
cidental Improvements, has arranged II
series of five tours, to he run from New
York to Jacksonville, as follows: January

Some of our people are looking for
ward to the completion of the new road
from New Hope to Philadelphia with the
idea that the express charges will be re-
duced by the competition of the Adams
and U. s. Express Companies. But
there is no hope of this, for these com
panies have combined as to rates. The
q. S. Express Company, which has the
exclusive right on the Reading roads, runs
to Doylestown, and we notice by the
Democrat that wagon express has been
established from that town to Philadel-
phia, owing to the extravagant charges Of
the q. S. Express Co. About the only
way relief may be hoped for is for the U.
S. Post Office Department to establish a
''parcels post" similar to that of England.
