pear, the holder of the estray must
ask the sheriff or any constable to sell
the same at public auction. The holder
of the estray can bid at the sale II he
so desires. The charges for keeping
the stock, printers fee, ETC., must come

keeping of an estray for more than
five days prior to the filing of the no

We refer to the Eva contract
placed in the hands of Commission
or Fitzgerald and the appointment
of the Labor Commission. The
Eva contract is perhaps more ex-
pressive, appealing more directly
TO those WHO want to see something
done. since it demonstrates that the
employers In our national industry
are honestly disposed to make a
fair trial and have gone about 1t
in the proper business-like fashion.
While Eva will hold the position
as the pioneer in the development
OF this new industrial policy, it Is
well known that the managers of
other plantation properties are
fully in sympathy with the move
ment and will furnish positive
proof in short time.
The work Of the Labor Commits
sion will be more upon the lines of
general investigation as mapped
out in the Act passed at the special
session of the Legislature of 1895.
On account of the present lack of
funds. it will have to confine its
efforts to securing data and re-
viewing the general conditions of
labor, preparatory to more extern
sive practical work little later.
There is enough for the Com
mission to do however, since the
country is woefully deficient in
statistical information.
In selecting the members, Pre-
sident Dole has displayed
sound practical sense. Mr.. Emme-
luth is we'll able to represent the
interests of the mechanics, Mr..
I Dung can appreciate the situation
from the plantation owners stand
point, while Mr.. Armstrong we
suppose will be put down as the
theorizer full of new suggestions,
most of them good ones. The
Commission is we'll balanced. The
value of the conclusions it presents
will be recognized by every citi-
zen interested in the nations indus
trial welfare.
Taken as whole the white labor
agitation has resulted in a remark
ably good beginning and we have
no reason to doubt the final
beneficial outcome. That mis-
takes will be made, that it will not
all be plain sailing we expect, but
the general tendency of future
development viii be progressive,
of untold value to the future citi-
zenship of Hawaii nei.

Our Hilo friends will doubtless
take particular pleasure in this line
of thought. Such a neat little sum
would make the Hilo water front
shine with improvements, and we
cannot take Hilo to task for want
ing the money.
This Is about the only comment
the situation calls for at present.
The officers of the Naniwa have

return courtesy for courtesy and
legal facts in return for the legal
facts of the other side. If more
japanese immigrants arrive it is
fair to presume they will be sent
back unless they qualify under the
Hawaiian law.

with the dignity of a friendly

From what the japanese Minis

posed to believe it has a clear case
and the immigrants may be fore
casting how they will spend the
damage funds they will receive
from Hawaii. This is nothing
more than we expected. The
whole business is matter inter
national law and lawyers never adj
nit that they have the wrong end
of a case. Of course Hawaii has
an equal right to claim the justice

With childlike simplicity and
proper AnglO-Saxon conceit the
Fort street oracle delegates To itself
the honor OF being the first paper
to point out the importance OF Mr..
Fitzgerald's mission" to this coun-
try. 1t Is not often that we take
exception TO the narrow Drained
mannerisms by which some of our
contemporaries seek to place halo5
of fame about brazen opinions of
their own ability and foresight. In
fact it has been quite amusing to
note how quiet many of our good
friends keep until they begin to
see indications of which way the
cat is going to jump, whereupon
they then come forward with shin
ing visages of self FURNISHED glory
and assert that Eve did it" As a
rule we offer no objections to the
petty conceits thrust upon the pub
lie by our ever-ready-to-jump con
temporaries. But when they come
to claiming "'frst cut on the ques-
ton of white labor and the details
associated Herewith it is time the
facts were known.
1t was w. n. Armstrong who
first suggested the subject of white
labor OH a more extensive scale IN
this country: it was w. n. Arm
strong who first presented to the
people of this country the impor-
lance of Mr.. Fitzgerald's visit and
Mr.. Armstrong; views were set
forth in these columns and none
other. This paper only takes to
its credit the fact that its columns
have been used successfully in the
furtherance of Mr.. Armstrong;
plans which not so many months
since were characterized as wild
and chimerical. The effort to OBJ
tain a larger proportion OF Amerl-
cans on the plantations was be
gun two years ago during the life
of the Labor Commission which so
many-our noble contemporary
being one-took pleasure in re-
ferring to as worse than useless.
At that time Mr.. Armstrong
was baked in his efforts. The
people went to sleep over the sub
iect and the Executive evidently
followed suit, so far as the Com
mission was concerned. The work
was not dropped however, nOtwith-
standing the leading spirit returned
to California. While there he kept
constantly in touch with the labor
sentiment of the people who must
have a strong influence for or
against annexation. Mr.. Arm
strong did not follow the Hawaiian
custom of going to sleep. He
kept very much awake and as a re-
suit of his work Labor Commits
sioner Fitzgerald came to this
country himself to look into the
conditions that he was disposed to
condemn on the strength of reports
he had received from various
sources. Mr.. Armstrong was at
work among the planters of Ha-
wan before our self glorying breth-
rem knew that such a man as Com
missioner Fitzgerald existed.
When Mr.. Fitzgerald arrived, our
friendly oracle was busy explain
ing the census and not till the first
move TO obtain American labor had
practically been settled upon did
it find out that the people thought
well of the plan and it was about
time to fall into line. We will |
give the Observation-Disclosures
full credit for the assistance
they have rendered in the last few
weeks, but they had better keep |
quiet when discussing the matter
of who led the van.
