The Hawaiian Commercial Company
is entitled to indulge in any amount of
sharp practice in laying down its
tracks across the Kahului railroad,
provided always as the celebrated Jim
Fiske said: they have the law on their
side" If they had the right to cross the
tracks of the Kahului company, it is a
right that is just as good in the day
time as it is at night The trick was,
however, to get possession and then
"sit down and await attack. But they
wouldn't sit down. They further VEN
tured to try an experiment in law pro-
ceedings which is very uncommon.
They asked the Court to help them sit
down in possession by telling the Ka-
hului company that they must not in
terfere, or in other words, that having
lost possession through a midnight
raid, they must submit to the loss.
Judge Perry does not favor these
"short cuts" in litigation, and tells the
Hawaiian Commercial Company that,
heather as we are out here, we still re-
speet the rules in equity cases. We
know nothing about the merits Of the
case. But we think most lawyers will
agree that the practice on behalf Of the
complainants, is rather extraordinary.

ANNEXATION ITEMS.

The Hartford Courant, Senator
Hawley's paper, reviews the annexa-
ton situation. 1t assumes that The
votes OF nine Senators are yet needed
for the ratification of the treaty
Whether this is the opinion of Senator
Hawley, who is a strong friend Of the
treaty, is not indicated The CouTant
also states that there is a stronger
adverse sentiment in the House than
had been suspected. The applause
which followed the speech of Mr. john
son of Indiana indicates it. The Cour-
ant, however, believes that if a vote
is taken in the House on a joint reso-
luton for annexation the friends of
annexation will handsomely outnum-
Der its opponents"
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-03-23

Senator Teller is reported to have
that the annexation of the Islands
may afford a solution of the negro
problem" He believes that the white
men may work" on these Islands, but
that here would be an ideal place for
colonizing American negroes.
The Senator, like many other Amer
lean statesmen has not studied the
negro question at home. AS rule ev-
cry negro who really wishes to work
can obtain better wages in the States
than here.
''In 80 years the colored people have
wiped out 40 per cent. of their litter
acy; have 10000 students in the higher
institutions of learning, $4,000 negro
teachers, 10000 youths learning trades,
1900 pursuing classical courses, 1900
pursuing scientific courses, 1000 pursu-
ing business courses, II 900 graduates,
100000 volumes in Libraries, valued at
SOUU,UUU, LOO uOIuldI SCIIOOIS, COIl6SSS,

newspapers, four magazines, $4,000

$4,000, $50 in personal property"
We are not entirely prepared to en-
dorse the accuracy Of these figures, but
they are quoted by the Southern Work
man.
The Southern States will find work
for many millions of industrious ne
groes. But they would be only too
willing to colonize Hawaii with negro
tramps. However, Hawaii will never
receive negro laborers of the kind that
will immigrate, until she is in the very
last ditch, so far as labor is concerned.
One good dose of the way down" ne
groes on plantation will be quite
enough The good darkies can always
do well at home.

The Iowa Senate recently voted down
a resolution endorsing annexation. On
this the Chicago Chronicle remarks
that it is entirely out of place for a
to control the action of Congress. The
State body is entirely separate from the
Federal body. 1t represents a sovereign
State, independent excepting in the ex-
ercise of certain powers which it has
yielded. If the Legislature of State
may instruct Congress, the latter body
may with equal right instruct the State
Legislature.
