These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
IN the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding Oh several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be. foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of a return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst Of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms.

AMERICAN SEAMEN.

1t hardly requires a super
natural gift to prophesy that the
people of the United States will,
before many years elspse, repudi.
ate the construction just placed
upon the Constitution by the
Supreme Court, which pushes
American seamen outside the
pale of human rights as defined
in that great document. In the
Arago decision majority of the
Supreme Court as reported pre-
viously in this paper-hold that
the Imprisonment of seamen for
desertiou is not "involuntary ser
vitude," therefore the laws in that
regard are not contrary to the
Thirteenth Amendment. There
was large mass meeting held at
San Francisco the night of the
second of this month, to support
the bills pending in Congress to
abrogate the laws thus upheld by
the Supreme Court. One of the
speakers was Alfred Thurman,
who was o sailor before he be.
came lawyer, who is reported as
follows:
He took up that part of the
Supreme Court which averred
that commerce would be injured
if the law were not enforced. He
reviewed the maritime codes from
the first 700 years before Christ
and those of the seventeenth CEN
fury, and showed where recipro.
city was always the keynote to the
relations between sailors and
officers.
He deGed Justice Brown to get
any precedent in these time-hon.
ored laws, which had the sanction
of many countries, but held that
his inspiration for his decision was
Blackstone, who had enunciated
that sailors and soldiers must be
the exception in laws providing
for the freedom of English sub
iects." That, he said, was all we'll
enough $50 years ago, when Eng.
land was menaced and every mer
chairman was quasi warship,
but in the light of the spirit of
these times the provision was
Infamous"
In concluding he said: "The
laws enacted against seamen are
the darkest blots on the Stars
and Stripes, and with this slavery
existing the flag is hollow
mockery to Jack. When you hear
of these things you do not wonder
that American boys never 60 to
sea. | say to you that have
sailed under six flags and nowhere
have | ever seen such miserable
treatment as aboard the deepwater
hellship sailing under the emblem
of liberty. l repeat this is not
partisan measure, but question
of humanity"
The judiciary has in different
countries been the last power to
concede the principles Of freedom.
In the United States it was among
the very last hackers of slavery.
1t looks as il it might now hold
the same unenviable position with
regard to laws which, as has been
expressed, "stamp seamen as serfs."

1t is said that the law against
contract labor in the United States
is persistently evaded in Alabama
iron industries. Probably this is
because they "must have labor"
like sugar in Hawaii.

Besides improving the quality
of labor, profit sharing promises
to be a saver in its quantity,

become obsolete under the coming
substitute for contract service,

school boards pay "higher' salaries
out of ''low' taxesi It's folly to kick
against the salaries and taxes too.
What has the school board to do
with it, They certainly do not run
too many schools and all they can do
is to divide the whole amount of
school funds for salaries by the
whole number of school months to be

EUGENE v. DEss.
The Social Democracy O
America.

A new organization, with Eugene
V. Debs as founder and leader, is
attracting attention in the United
States at this time.
The Society was organized in
Chicago, recently, and branch orders
are being organized all over the
country. There are at present sev.
eral hundred thousand members,
and increasing daily. The income
from oil the different societies aggre
gate something like $4,000 per
month.
The object of the Society is to
organize aud establish co operative
commonwealth in some Western
State, for the unemployed. The
idea seems to be to get possession OF
OF n boundary of land sufficiently
ample, and to build houses, factories,
stores ETC., lay out farmes and homes
for all who may wish to unite with
the organization.
While adhering, generally, to the
already existing Constitution, tho
Society proposes to control entirely
the laws of the Territory, inaugurate
new laws as may be necessary, and
TO have ell things in common.
These are, we believe, the general
features of the Society's plans.
The desire to ameli0rate the condi
tions OF the poorer classes, is a good
one, and one which we all approve,
but Deb's idea and scheme is Utopian
it seems to us, and hardly of suffi
cient practicability to be successful.
1t Is another evidence of the rest
less and revolutionary condition of
society, and may terminate in some
thing greater than is thought. To

the movement we clip the following
