In view Of the rumors that have been
afoat since the arrest of Captain Good,
it is certainly highly proper that the
sessions of the court which will pass
Judgment on the case should be open
to the public. The trial before mill
tary court OF one so prominent in mill
tary circles will naturally attract gen
eraI interest, and it is just, both to the
service and the captain, that the public
should have the facts as they are
brought before the court.

Somebody suggests that another pa
per in Hilo will be disastrous to the
newspaper business in that town. Pos
sibly this is true, but if the second pa
per is started, the present claimants of
the Hilo field can blame no one but
themselves. When a newspaper is
placed upon the market to express the
opinions of a select class to the ex-
cIusion of all others, the promoters of
the scheme may rest assured that those
who are shut out and whose opinions
are not given recognition will force
their way to the front sooner or later.

our agricultural industries, we do not
deny, but 10 practically sit down and
say that the question of free labor must
be eliminated is simply display OF
paIpable weakness and lack of progress.
AS the people of the country are con-
stantly looking forward to new indu-
sites to develop their lands, they should
also be looking forward and constantly
preparing for the time when the con-
tract labor system will be gradually
wiped out of existence That this can
be done in a day or year is, of course,
entirely out of the question; but it is
taken the United States as our model
and if our people are true to their prin-
ciples they must use their thought and
energy to raise the condition of labor
and the industries to the Standard of
the country they have taken for an ex-
ample. Doing away with the contract
fee industry, or any other industry, if
sensible methods are used in making
the change. The price Of labor will be
governed by the supply, and if there is
work to be done it is preposterous to
maintain that the men cannot be found
to do it at the prices which the market
value of the product will allow. We
can see no reason why Commissioner
Marsden should scatter seeds of retro
gression in discussing labor problems,
when his purely agricultural suggest
ions are of an entirely different order.

Never in the history of Honolulu
have the small investors in real estate
been offered better opportunities than
during the past six months. Small
building lots put on the market at
reasonable prices is the best incentive
to home building that can be suggested.
Once the middle classes purchase
homes, they are thrice allied to the best
interests of the city and nation. In
some of the individual real estate trans
fers of late there has been a tinge of
boom prices. yet these transactions
have been carried on among people who
are able to stand the pressure. AS a
rule the small building lots have been
sold on terms that are within the reach
of many frugal working men.

MIR. MARSDEN AND CONTRACT
LABOR.

During Commissioner Marsden's
tramp through Hawaii he ran across a
representative of the HilO Tribune one
evening, and gave his views on the
cultivation of coffee in the Olaa dis
trict Now, as a rule, Mr.. Marsden's
opinions are very good ones; as rule
he is enthusiastic and progressive. The
most severe criticism ever passed upon
him is that his enthusiasm carries him
too far when he gets to talking of new
industries. But of this we have no rea-
son to complain. The people of this
country need some one to lead the way
in the line of diversified industry, and
Commissioner Marsden has shown him
self fully capable of leading the van,
and we have no fear that he will over
step the bounds in his attempts to
nurse new ventures into active being
But our worthy Commissioner, in his
conversation, turned his attention to
the labor question, where he seems to
have made big slump in his generally
prising to note how he stands still and
looks backward when he reaches this
point. Mr.. Marsden is quoted by the
Tribune as follows:
THE question is. shall the coffee
planter employ free or contract labor?
To depend upon the former will not
only be impracticable, as it will be ex-
ceedingly difficult to secure the number
required, but actually ruinous, as the
laborers will be masters of the situa-
ton, and able to demand such wages
as they please, since the crop must be
gathered within a certain time or prove
a total loss. Therefore the idea of de-
pending upon free labor must be elm
mated
Such opinions, Notwithstanding they
come from one who is usually very SEN
sible in his conclusions, we must put
down as not in keeping with the pro-
gressive spirit of this nation, and we
can but express regret that such senti-
ments should be expressed by one prom
inent in Government circles, and one
who was a member of the commission
sent to the United States to treat for

Some of the Japanese papers state
that the occasion of Count Mutsu's visit
to Hawaii is to investigate the con-
dition of the Japanese here and obtain
redress for the wrongs perpetrated on
the japanese residents. 1.-The wrongs
perpetrated upon the japanese resi-
dents" is indeed something new. The
Japanese citizens who land in this coun-
try are subject to the same laws and
have the same privileges as those OF
any other nation, except China, and we
have failed to note wherein they have
been subjected to any great wrongs.
Possibly the Japanese want special ia
vors shown them. That is another
question.
