A practice has grown up, which seems

the addition of any foreign article

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Comnodore
Ramsey, vino is today acting secretary
OF the navy, denies positively that any
orders have been sent to the United
States steamer Charleston, IN China, to
seize the Hawaiian Islands under any
state of atfairs. The Charleston when
last heard from was At Yokohama, ia
pan, and it has been the intention to
have her return to the United States as
soon as the Lancaster, with Admiral
Harmony aboard. reaches the China
station. The Lancaster went around
the Cape of Good Hope from New York
and Is probably now somewhere in the
Indian Ocean. When the Charleston Is
relieved she will naturally touch at
Honolulu on her way home, as she can
not carry sufficient coal to make the

oning laborers. much to the salts
faction of the planters" The re.
sponslble editor of the paper in
which these mlsstatements occur
1--WE can hardly say are circulated)
is supposed to be something in the
way Of lawyer, and probably the
writer of this particular editorial
from which we have quoted may
be much such another, so we will
ask in all good faith how many
criminals must be acting in collu-
sion. Inspectors, employers, lunas,
witnesses, judges and all before one
such case as is pronounced to be so
common, could possibly be brought
about.
What the Kauai tri@i really does
show is that the contract laborer
is we'll cared for. In despite of
carelessness of the employer and
those who should have watched
over the interests of the laborer
he had bis medical treatment and
it was the doctor who was out of
pocket, and the law does not call
upon the laborer patient to pay the
bill. There were over q thousand
contracted immigrants landed here
quite recently. Their own govern
ment are not only aware of, but
have approved and sanctioned the
engagements. With the approval
and sanction of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent, inspectors of their own
nationality are appointed to watch
over their interests and doctors of
their own country will attend to
their medical needs. Cases of DIS
pute will be tried in Hawaiian
Courts and their judgments ac-
cepted by both parties. The plant
ers will have to pay higher wage
than is known in any other sugar
producing country in the world,
equal nearly to double that paid
in some countries. All the out
goings OF plantations in these ISL
ands are at q rate unknown else
where, labor skilled and unskilled,
fuel and most other supplies are
dearer here than anywhere else.
Two conditions which obtain here
are favorable to the planter, unpar-
alleled fertility of soil, and the
proximity of a favoring market,
the former must gradually deteri-
crate by tho laws of nature, and
the ."r is imperiled and injured
by X t tariff legislation in the
United States. This is the time
for patriotic paper to rehash all
the stale old ISLANDERS that have
been dragged out, discredited and
buried again for so many years
past. Even Hawaii's most vicious
defamers abroad seem to have
grown tired or ashamed, and so

FRIDAY,
=" CONTRACT LABOR. +"

One of the native papers, in its
English column, returns to the
] worn out and dishonest trick of
calling contract labor as cooie-
slavery, planters as manstealers,
kidknappers, slave-owners, etc.,
ETC., and the Courts of the King
dom as accomplices in crime.
AS long as this rubbish is con.
fined to the English language it
can do little harm, for those who
read it here being for the most part
reasonably intelligent and we'll
informed on the subject are not like
~ to be influenced, and it is scarce
ly possible that the paper is read
abroad, though possibly some
foreign paper in want of sensa-
ton might soil pair of scissors
over it.
1t appears that at recent ses-
sion of the Kauai Circuit Court, a
doctor sued planter for medical
services rendered to Japanese la
borer contracted to the planter,
and the plaintiffs attorney took a
nonsuit on the showing that the
obligation on the employer was in
formal or incomplete, and so no
Inability to provide medical attend
ance was proved against the en-
pioyer. On this peg is hung all the
vocabulary nf shrs- r
these Presses are made extra heav- F.
1is e. pres res occupies s:s customary to
such papers under such circum-
stances.
After stating that comment is
superfuous," the commentator ar
rives ut the conclusion that the en-
p.oyer can command the services
OF his assigned Japanese laborer
apparently without mourning any
liability to provide medical attend
ance. 1t is SO apparently in this
case, but we claim that this is of
necessity o very rare and wholly
accidental case. If the contract
was unsigned, il it in fact were so
informal and incomplete as to re-
lease one party to the contract from
any or all the conditions under
stood, it must have just so far re-
leased the other party as we'll.
The employer himself is the party
most liable to injury from a con-
tract which proves to be not bind
ing. A case of this kind must of
necessity be an accident, an over
sight, for no one would willingly
trust the saving of his crop to a
number of laborers bound to him
by nothing but an unsigned con-
tract. Moreover, where was the
Japanese inspector? They gener-
ally, as they are bound to do, take
good care of the interests of their
countrymen. But now comes this
paper and states that sit is well
known that the terms Of the con-
tracts are not adhered to by the
masters; the men are transferred
like cattle from one slave-owner to
another, and that they may be inn
prjsoned for life for refusing to
work. and the lower courts are
