SENSIBLE IDEA.

At least one native paper In
japan takes a sensible view OF
emigration to Hawaii as II has been
conducted. II IL quoted by an
English paper Of that country as
follows:
The Sekai-no Nippon has some
startling comments on the present
system of japanese coolie. emigra.
ton, which it stigmatises ~ not
much different from slavery. aud
declares that the present mode OF
emigration must he radically
changed or stopped altogether.
LaSorers who emigrate under con.
tracts, bound by pecuniary trans
actions with agents, are slaves for
the term they accept. The selling
Of mans labor for a fixed period
amounts to the selling of the mans
self; for his whole life, his health,
movements, occupations, pleasures
and even freedom are all fettered
in that particular mode OF bargain,
therefore the SO called Japanese
emigrants are nothing more or
less than slaves. 1t can never be
reconciled to the true principles
of national progress and expan-
sion to send out ignorant laborers
who when they have saved little
money and served out the fixed
term, are only eager to come back
home. Nor can the sending OF
such u low class of people be call
ed true emigration. Therefore if
the Government is really DESTROYS
to encourage emigration on
sound basis, it must put stop to
this "slave traffic." for otherwise
japan will be sure to incur the
contempt of other nations.

pscislly IN newspapers abroad
TO return 10 japan al the close Of
their contracts. Provision Of a
fund TO pay their passages home
out Of their own wages was made
in the conventional arrangements.
Those who stayed here we're not
obliged to recontract, as also has
enormously been published, hav-
ing the treaty right of residence.
While a considerable proportion
went home, from time to time, a
large majority remained, and
the immigration was continued as
the large employers of labor here
made requisition for recruits. So
the process went on until about
the beginning Of the present con-
troversy some $4,000 in found
numbers of the 100000 popula-
ton of Hawaii were Japanese.
Thus far the question was one
purely between the Government
and the citizens of Hawaii, and it
was a question as to how far the
process of introducing a single
alien nationality might proceed
consistent with the safety of Ha-
waits existing national integrity,
1t is to be recalled here that the
wholesale introduction of Japan
ese labor was adopted as substi-
tute for Chinese immigration
that, with it's undue preponder-
ance of males, had come to be re-
garded as menace to Hawaiian
civilization.
just prior to the war between
China and japan a serious ques-
ton had approached a head re.
garding the Japanese in Hawaii.
1t was a claim that, under the
most favored nation clause of the
treaty, japanese residents who
could exhibit the qualifications of
voters were entitled to the
electoral suffrage and full citizen.
ship. This question is probably
what first crystallized public
opinion in the conviction that the
Chinese menace had only been
succeeded by the more dangerous
Japanese menace. For, if the
point we're conceded. 1t would
have been only the beginning of
the end of transforming Hawaii
into Japanese state. When the
existence of the citizenship ques-
ton had become notorious, it was
emphasized by the appearance in
Honolulu harbor of two powerful
vessels of Japan's new navy. 1t is
but stating what is regarded as
patent fact to assert that grave
crisis was only averted through
the calling off of these "dogs of
war" to engage in the fight with
China. At all events the Govern
ment decided to check the process
of "Japanning" the islands by
limiting labor immigration from
japan. For time the granting
of acquisitions for japanese labor
was suspended, but it was re.
sumed under condition that ten
percent of the entire labor immi-
grafton, for supplying the agricul-
tural demand, should be of Eu
ropean or white races.
All along japanese labor immi-
grafton had been conducted main
ly under Government auspices,
subject to regulations of the
Board of Immigration which pro-
vided for three-year contracts.
There had been a considerable
proportion of free immigration
coming both in emigrant and re-
gular mail line steamers. This
free element was only restricted
by the conditions imposed upon
alien immigrants of all nationali.
ties. Latterly, but not with es.

nisbing laborers 10 the Hawaiian
planters. invented schemes for
evading the moderate and reason
able restrictions and safeguards
Of the Board OF Immigration.
They engaged laborers in Japan
under the promise of three year
contracts, that in some cases were
actually drawn up and executed in
japan. These they furnished
with advances of $50 each to
show the port authorities in
Hawaii but to be returned
to the real owners of the money
when the purpose had been effect
ed. Another scheme was to have
the emigrants on arrival here,
when refused admission for lack
of bona fide or actual possession
of the fifty dollars, to volunteer to
enter into regular Board of Immi.
grafton contracts. The authori-
ties here ruled strictly on the
matter of fifty dollars, but received
setback by q decision of the Su.
preme Court that virtually denied
them the right to go behind the
actual exhibition of the money.
As to the other scheme the Gov
eminent was very accommodating
in some few of the earlier cases.
1t assumed that the emigrants
were innocent parties and admit
ted them on their taking contracts
with planters who requested
their services. Public dissat-
isfsction at these modes of practical
abolition of all restrictions was
strongly manifested, and the Gov.
eminent being predisposed to take
the same view of the matter as the
public determined to adopt fresh
measures. Here it may be said
that the general alien immigra-
ton law was made a complete null.
lily, so far as that race was con-
cerned, if Japanese equipped with
the requisite advances belonging
to the emigration companies might
swarm into the country. Such
contracts as they had made in
Japan were not worth the paper
they were written upon, either for
holding them to service in this
country or for securing them the
wholesome protection of their own
rights guaranteed by the Board
of Immigration's contracts. The
Government repeated it's refusal
of advanced money japanese, and,
when the cases were brought be
fore the Supreme Court on writs
of habeas corpus, it made a plea
that had not been presented on
the occasion OF the adverse
decision. This was that which
had availed regarding Chinese re-
striction in the United States,
namely, that the executive officers
of this Government had ultimate
authority in deciding who among
aliens seeking admission to the
country might be admitted under
our immigration laws. With this
plea was the correlstive one that
until aliens were regularly admit
ted to the country they had no
standing in its courts and there
fore the writ of habeas corpus to
override the decision of the exc
cutive authorities could not lie in
their case. These pleas were adj
judged we'll taken by the Supreme
Court, and upon its decision the
sending back home of Japanese
was done, which furnishes the
ground Of the present complaint

THE JAPANESE QUESTION

tons between his Government and
itself. Also that this was done
before he had received its reply to
the communication he had present.
ed. 1t appears that there was an
unanticipated delay Of an hour or
two in transmitting the document
from the Foreign Office to the
japanese Legation, and in the
meantime the afternoon papers
had been issued with an outline of
its contents and of the japanese
note to which it was reply. The
whole facts, however, show that
the Hawaiian Government was not
the leader in making divulgences.
Newspapers in the confidence OF
the Japanese Government were, at
the departure of the Naniwa for
Honolulu, given a much fuller
summary of Jspan's official COM
plant than the Hawaiian Minister
of Foreign Affairs gave yesterday
to the BULLETIN, either of that
document or of his response to it.
This Government had received
newspapers with some of the act
ual language of the Japanese COM
munication even before the docu-
ment was presented to it by Min
lister Shimemura. Notwithstanding
this example of diplomatic Ell
quette from it's great and good
friend Japan, this Government
would probably have maintained
it's usual reticence in such things
were il not that a mail steamer
was about to leave for the Coast.
1t was very desirable that, when
the issue had been joined between
the two governments, a correct
summary of its consistency should
have gone abroad to the world and
as coming from the Hawaiian
Government. There is not the
least doubt that full statement
of the case, with the authority of
the Japanese Legation, would
have gone forward anyway by the
steamer Belgic due to leave for
Japan this week, besides a sue
cinct cable message by the Peru
leaving yesterday. Representa-
tives of official organs of Japan
are not here merely for recreation.
At all events, when summaries of
the japanese complaint reached
Honolulu in newspapers as soon
as the official from the Foreign
Office at Toxic, having charge of
the message, it does not appear
that Hawaii is the party that mi
tiated waivers of etiquette in the
matter.
Leaving these petty side issues,
however, with the proposition that
the public of each country has
right to be informed of the facts
when definite stage, such as the
present, has been reached, a few
words on the main question are in
order. 1t is safe to say that when
the origin of the controversy be-
comes clear to the world, the uni
versal verdict will be that Hawaii's
administration of its immigration
laws, as applied to the japanese,
is founded not only upon strict
equity but the first law of all, that
is, self preservation. Perfectly
true it is that Hawaii voluntarily
invited japanese immigration to
replenish its labor supply. Also,
that long prior to that invitation
even nearly a generation before
any other western nation had a
like basis of intercourse come into
effect-the subjects of either coun-
try had full rights of entry, travel,
residence and trade in the other
country. 1t is needless to say,
