THE CONTRACT LABOR LAW.

The INDEPENDENT desires to remind
its readers, aud especially our leRis-
Iators, that the following appeared
in an American journal in San
Francisco:
CONTRACT LABOR A BAR TO ANNExA-
TIoN-AMERICAN PLANTERS IN HA-
wAu ACTIVELY SUPPORT IT'S Alb
CLIFTON.
Honolulu, January 18. - 1t has
been made public to-day from an
authoritative source that bill will
be introduced 10 the Legislature,
which convenes next month, for the
abolition of the contract labor sys-
tenn in the islands, and that the bill
will receive such strong support
from the American planters that it
will undoubtedly pass over all oppo-
sition A hard fight is expected by
German and English planters, who
will be rather hard hit, but that will
not stand in the way, as it has be-
come apparent that contract labor
is one of the greatest stumbling
blocks to annexation. The points
sugge sted in the bill are:
|. That from and after the LIST
day Of July, 1898, 10 contract for
personal services made or entered
into in this Republic of Hawaii
should be specifically or penalty en-
forcible.
2. That from and after tha LIST
day Of January 1899, no co, tract
for personal services made ur en-
tered into abroad should be peci-
fically or penalty euforcible in the
Republic Of Hawaii.
3. That this law shall not apply
to contracts Tor services Of seamen,
the seaman's laV t. be lef, y atic-
ally the same as it is.
A. That this law shall not b con-
strued to repeal any exisfug law in
so far as it appIies to any labor con-
tracts now IN existence or which
may bn entered into proc a. the
date above Indicated.
The "1st day Of July, 1885," is
very close now, and so perhaps is
annexation Ito the minds Of Dole 81
Co, only) but that wonderful bill is
apparently smothered in committee,
and yet it was drafted-for what2
To be used only for campaign pur-
poses and Ia be slaughtered as soon
as it had fulfilled its fraudulent
mission among the politicians of
the United States.
1t will be noticed how strongly
the lingo sentiment is appealed to
in the dispai ch; the bill will re-
ceive such strong support from the
American planters that it will be I'M
doubleday passed over all opposi-
ton. A hard fight is expected by
German and English planters \ y 4
but that will not stand in the way"
1t would be very interesting for
the American planters, we feel GER
tain, to learn from the legislative
committee having the custody OF
this important bill the reasons for
its inexplicable delay in becoming a
law. Surely zone of the greatest
stumbling blocks to annexation
ought to have been removed by the
cyclonists by this time.

How strange are the ways OF
human nature in the governance of
churchesl They appear 70 the lay
man to be in direct conflict with the
principles governing secular bust
ness Let a lsyman read the reso-
lutions adopted on the passing away
to other spheres of usefulness of
Rev. D. 2. Brine, and he will prob
ably say, eff that man is as good and
fruitful in profitable work as those
fellows make him out to be, why in
the name of common sense have
they let him go?" 1t must be ad-
mitted that the influences guiding
religious communities are passing
strange.
