jury, as the constitution of the United
States and of the great state of Illinois
pledges him. He was brought before
the state courts and before jury, and
the prosecution dropped its suit because
it had no case against him. No crime
could be placed at his door, and yet he
is now under sentence. For what?
Contempt of courtI Some of the roads
were in the hands of receivers appointed
by the United States court, and to in
terfere with railroad company SO stu
ated was a contempt of court. Pullman
at the same time snapped his fingers un-
der the judicial nose of that same judge
who sentenced Debs for contempt, and
is still swapping them, but he is not
punished.
The railroad companies were not slow
to discover the peculiar asylum afforded
them, and one after the other they have
pulled over them the ermine of the
courts. as a mantle of protection. Un-
der it they are safe. They cannot be
sued, even for debt. without the consent
of the court, and if judgment is obtained
against them their property is exempt
from execution because it is in the
hands of the government. They are
above the law, and beyond it's reach,
because they have themselves become
the courts. By the subtle fictions of
law the courts run the railroads, through
receivers, but as the receivers are se-
lected by the roads, and are usually
their directors or managers, it will be
seen that the courts authority is sim
ply nominal.
However, as we have said, it is per-
haps for the best that these corporations
have shown to what extent they can GO,
for it will simply hasten the day when
the final settlement is made. This set
Element is close at hand, and it will be
only by an exhibition of patriotism,
that neither the corporations nor the
employees have yet shown, that it can be
settled peacefully and with proper re-
gard for the rights of all parties con-
cerned. The companies have demon
strated that the roads can be best
operated under direction of the courts.
Let them not forget that the lesson may
convey moral which would commend
the operation of the roads by the govern
ment, in the interest of the people, in
stead of for the private gain of the stock

James j. Corbett says: "Inside of
two years there will not be club in the
country, and pugilists will be fighting in
barns and fields for purses of 500 and
5000 just as they used to. The news
papers are responsible for it, Corbett
gives the snap away, for if as he asserts
the pugilists are willing to fight in the
fields for 500, it is pure waste of good
money to hang up $4,000 in order to let
them fight in a parlor. We think though
that Corbett is mistaken. In a few
years the pugilists will be doing all their
fighting in the newspapers.

THE ELEoTRIc RAILWAY COM
PANY.

When the Hawaiian Tramways
Co. was chartered and the present
road built by English capital, the
people in Hawaii had been previous
ly given ample opportunity to under
take the enterprise themselves. Pro.
moters had been at work, Legisla.
lures had been approached and all
necessary machinery had been set in
motion to obtain the franchise.
Heart failed our capitalists and they
refused to invest any money. They
did not believe that the proposed
enterprise would ever pay. English
capitalists took the risks. At an
enormous cost the road was built

community-and finally the concern

TOPICS OF The DAY.

The Advertisers comments on
the pa-dons issued on July 4th to
the misguided and ignorant Hawai-
iaus who hal, as they thought,
fought for their liberties, winds up
as follows: "What the Government
does in the future with the political
prisoners remaining must depend
largely upon the disposition shown
by those just released. Ia its con-
ciliatory attitude it must be met
half way, and failure to recognize
the rights and liberties Of fellow
men is misdemeanor quite as seri-
Gus as the day these men were iu
carcerated. The fact that the men
are free is proof that con fdence is
placed in their ability to read the
signs Of the times and become law
abiding citizs' s. Ii this confidence
is not misplaced there is every rea
son to believe that the trial may be
extended to those OF more promi-
nence." What does this meant Is
1t that the liberated men must take
the oath to the republic? And If
they don't, are pardons to be refused
in future to the remaining unfortun-
ates? 1t seems to US that this is a
total misapprehension of the nature
of the pardoning power. What con
troll have those still in Jail on those
who are let out? The Advertiser
expressly states that those left in
are "unprincipled political agitators"
aud by implication that they have
been lett in because they were lead
ers. Yet in the same breath it de-
clares the con- inuance OF their pun
ishment is to depend on their
ability to still lead and influence
those who have Just been released
from their communicating contact.

The Company condescends to
allow the executive council to make
reasonable and just regulations
"with the consent of the com pany." :"
That is really kind but it seems to
us that the executive council hardly
can accept position which makes
it virtually play second fiddle to the
holders of the franchise. Besides
being exempt from taxation of what
ever kind the company evidently
doesn't propose TO pay any license
fee. The Tramway Company pays
yearly $40 for each car and $40 for
each omnibus. No provisions are
made for making the proposed
company take out licenses for their
vehicles and it is safe TO say that the
company, if ever it starts operations,
will squirm out of paying anything
whatever to the government. The
Company will simply operate in
