A Sad Case.

Unintentionally, The UNION has
caused the editor of the Weekly Re-
publican to write some really origi-
nal editorial. 1t is the first origi-
nal matter of the kind that has ap-
peared in the First National bank
organ for some time and it is to be
hoped that the shock to the editor
and his readers will not prove dis
astrous. However, the offense
shonld not be repeated.
The Republican was whining over
the county officials giving county
printing to The UNION without even
notifying that paper of their inten-
tion to do SO. Our contemporary
seemed considerably exercised over
the matter and in giving vent to it's
mangled and disfgured feelings
made a number of mis- statements,
among other things asserting that
it bid on the work, it's bid was the
lowest and it should have the
printing. The UNION called the
Republican down on such rash as
sertlons, offering to compare prices
with the Republicans bid to prove
the false position of our contempor-
ary across the alley. Well knowing
that such a comparison would only
substantiate THE UNIONS conten-
tion of making the lowest prices
in Rapid City, the Republican
pays no attention TO the proposition
and proceeds to slop over in the fol-
lowing fashion:
con the bulk of the printing so
far done bids have been solicited
from all three Rapid City newspap-
ers, is one of it's (THE UNIoN) as
sertions. This statement is made
out Of whole cloth and the fact is no
bids whatever have been solicited
from the Republican for any county
printing since January l, 1897, ex-

case deserve public attention, as a
good illustration of plantation life
in Hawaii
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-19

The ill-treatment of Asiatic labor
ers by plantation overseers will not
be tolerated for ever. The worm
will eventually turn, and then the
managers of plantations will trem-
BILE in their boots for fear OF their
lives, while the bloated bondholders
who own the plantations will live
abroad, pockeotheir enormous divi-
dends and curse tho managers, who,
in carrying out the approved sweat
ing system, are getting into pilikia
with the plantation laborsrs who
are to be treated like cattle and not
like men built in the image OF the
Creator whom they worship. As a
specially good instance we refer TO
the present row on Eva Plantation.
The facts in connection with this
affair have been furnished US by the
very best authority and form the
nucleus OF case which may yet
prove fraught with danger to the
foreign employees and stockholders
Of the plantation.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-19

The Government and the official
organs of the annexationists are con-
.tantly assuring the American peo-
pie that Asiatic immigration to Ha-
waii has ceased and that the nice
sugar men who draw their incomes
from Hawaii aud spend it abroad are
over anxious to repeal the objection
able penal labor laws now in force
in the islands. They are hardly be-
lieved, however. The recent fre.
quept strikes of Japanese plantation
laborers show emphaticalfy that
without the penal clause in our la
Dor laws chaos or at least frequent
riots will be the rule on every plan
tation il managed according to the
policy of the present slave-drvers.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-19

A few days ago batch Of newly
arrived Japanese laborers we're sent
to Eva, having been shipped by the
plantation Of that name. The men
were evidently ignorant (of Hawai-
ian methods) and one Of the number
actually resented being beaten and
finally, having his arm broken by a
foreign luna. A Japanese who will
complain over a trife like frac-
tured limb is not suitable to work
on any Hawaiian plantation. The
man referred to did even more than
complaining and being backed by
eighty of his countrymen he adopt
ed heroic measures and started out
looking for a warrant for the arrest
of his assailant.

claims that be was assaulted by an
overseer who fractured his arm.
The Jap, who has arrived recently
aud does not understand English,
was advised 10y his more experienced
couutrymea to call upon the district
Judge and appeal to the strong hand
Of the Hawaiian law. The poor
devil was OF course prohibited from
leaving the plantation by bis white
"bosses." Then he got angry, and
after a palaver with his "gaug" all
decided to quit work and go to Ho-
nolulu to see the representative OF
their Government. Eighty Japa-
nese set out for Honolulu but were
stopped at Pearl City by employees
Of the plantation who started to
reason with the men. In the mean
time the agents of the Eva Sugar
Company, Messrs. Castle g. Cooke,
had been apprised of the trouble,
and at their request Mr.. Chester
Doyle, the official court interpreter
Of the Japanese language, proceeded
to Eva to investigate and, if possi-

Mr.. Doyle has had great expert

he called the men together and ex-
planned to them that they were
committing an unlawful act by
leaving work to follow their injured
comrade, and that they ought to
return to the plantation at once,
while the man who claimed to have
been assaulted could proceed to the
proper authorities with his three
witnesses and there enter his COM

men adopted Mr.. Doyle's PROPOSE
tion aud returned to Eva. There a
conference was held and it was sug-
gested-and agreed npou by the
Japanese--that all would return TO
work but tha, their wages should
not be docked and that the injured
man should have medical attendance

The manager. we are told, could
not approve OF this reasonable pro-
position and insisted in being pre-
sent having had translated the con-
versation between Mr.. Doyle and
the men. He eventually insisted in
having the 81 Japanese jailed and
fined, and, the strict letter OF the
law being with him, he carried his
point.
