BEHEADING

Since he adveat of our little
Chief just ice in the United States
the old Liliuokalaai "beheading"
yarn, has been started again and
wherever Albert Francis is the news
papers tell gruesome tales about the
fate that awaited him and three
other prominent" men if Cleveland
had restored the Queen. Some
papers even mention the names Of
the three who were supposed to
share the fate OF the brave little @.
j, We are told thSt besides the
noble head Of Judd being severed
from his plebeian trunk the sand
would have been moistened with the
gore OF Dole, Thurston and Owen
Smith. And in the spite of tragedy
which would have been involved in
the terrible business the people who
know the quartette ridicule the pre-
position and unkindly claim that
none OF then had any "head"
worthy Of cutting off or useful to
anyone even as material for "head
cheese But joking apart; it is
about time that our travelling jack
asses cease their Infamous lies
against the Queen. Consul General
Ellis Mills we are told was present
at the interview between the Queen
and Minister Willis at which it is
claimed the "bsheading" question
was raised. In the near future Mr.
Mills will possibly be in position
to speak OF what was said at that
interview, and so vindicste this
much abused and much prosecuted
unfortunate woman.

More Plantation Troubles.

Mr.. Goo Kim aud the officers of
the Board OF immigration will be
called upon to investigate the death
of Chinese laborer in the employ
of the Hakalau Sugar Co. 1t is
claimed that the Chinese laborer
was killed by being kicked and
beaten by Chalmers and Hickey,
two luaa8 in the employ Of the
plantation. The only positive fact
in the matter is that the Chinaman
is dead. We trust that upon thor
ough investigation the officers con-
nected with the plantation will be
able to exonerate themselves of all
blame. All men living in Hawaii
should be equals before the law.
Let justice be done even if the plan

AMERICAN LABOR IN HAWAII.

The INDEPENDENT does not believe
that Americans or any other white
men will be willing 10 accept the
conditions existing in these islands
under which plantation labor is per-
formed. We are also Of opinion
that the plantation agents who met
Mr.. Fitzgerald, and who appeared
to favor the echeme to introduce
white laborers from California, were
thinking more Of the effect that the
consideration OF the subject at this
time mi ght have upon the mori-
bund annexation scheme aud our
threatened treaty. We do not be-
lieve that any person acquainted
with field labor on sugar estates can
only say that Americans can engage
in it.

Unless Mr.. Fitzgerald lied it is in
order for the "head" OF this "funny
little republic" to rise and explain
how an American laborer may hope
to escape the penalty provided by
law for the violation OF its provi-
sions. We have seen that class of
taxpayers may evade an assessment
by a memorial declaring that a
schedule is too inquisitorial; that
the Executive may ignore the Judi
ciary and suspend the action of law
tor a season; that sodomist may
find imprisonment at "hard labor"
to mean an easy billet inside the
prison walls, while a laborer violst-
ing labor contract finds "hard
labor" to mean work on public
roads with pick and shovel. Did

From San Francisco papers we
gather the executive committee of
the California labor council have
asked Mr.. Fitzgerald some pertinent
questions about our laws govern
ing labor contracts and the provi-
sion. penalty for violations of
the terms of auch contracts. "Mr.
Fitzgerald replied that such a law
did exist, but he did not think, from
what he learned while at Hawaii,
that it would apply to any Ameri-
can who should elect to go there"
The objection was made by the
executive committee and the opin-
ion expressed that an American
coming here might be in practical
bondage. To this sound objection
"Mr. Fitzgerald answered that he
had been assured by the head of the
Hawaiian Government that Ameri-
can labor would take no chances
under the law"

The men turn out at 4 o'clock in the

breakfast, if there is anything to eat,
and at 6 o'clock they appear in the
fields where they work and no time"
is allowed until they are there The
fields are, as u rule four or five miles
away from the camp where the men
live, but the luna with his "dock-
iog" record is ON hand. Through
rain and knee-deep mud the ,laborer
must plod along to the spot where
DO is to work for more than 10
hours. There he is driven as were
