The Advertiser does not for a mo-
ment defend the penal contract labor
system. Intelligent planters and intel
ligent citizens have condemned 1t for
years. 1t is, in many of its features,
a relic Of barbarism,' similar 10 the
Shipping Act, which holds the sailor

Supreme Court TO be constitutional

In the days when labor was album
dant this penal system, by the CO.
operation of the planters and the gov
eminent, could have been abolished.
and better system introduced. But
there was no moving spirit here.
There was no man full OF righteous
indignation who would fuse the lovers
of reformation into an aggressive body.
The reconstruction of the labor system
was left to the rude process of evolu-
ton. The system has gradually chang
ed, but 1t has yet too prominent a
place in our industrial system. II will
end, by ACT Of Congress, within few
months. Ii should have ended, by act
of this community, years ago. Now

for many years has been known as
one Of the wheelhorses IN the Republi-
can party OF New York. He was for
many years a close friend Of the late
President Arthur, who placed great
value on his judgment as a lawyer and
politician. While he did not become
prominent in political life, he exercised
strong influence among the party
leaders, owing to his excellent judg-
ment of men and measures. Many an
error was prevented in the tactics Of
the Republicans owing to his better
insight. He is noted for careful
methods and thoroughness in his law
practice. His briefs are noted for
their exhaustive discussions, without
being lengthy. President Arthur often
said that II Root would give up more
time to politics, he would reach any
place in the gift of the Republican
party. Mr.. Root is now in his best
working days, and is fully able to meet
any responsibility which events in
Washington may place upon him. II
he should confine himself, ultimately,
to the affairs of the Colonies. as II is
now intimated he may do. the country
will find him a statesman in the front

THE INDIANS.

A singular instance of the different
ways in which people coming Of com
mon stock manage the same kind Of
affairs, is seen in the management of
the Canadian and the United States
Indian. With the exceptional instance
OF the Riel rebellion, the authorities
of British North America have no trou-
bic whatsoever with the Indians, while
wars, and massacres and raids, have
marked the history of the relations of
the people of the United States with
the Indians. At the present moment,
the Indian Aid Association complains
of the constan; injustice done to the
Indians, through the misdeeds OF the
agents of the Federal authorities.
Several years ago, some hundreds of
the Canadian Indians. involved in the
Riel rebellion, fed over the border,
into the Federal territory. The Fede-
raj authorities agreed to return them
to Canada. Troops of cavalry captured
and conducted them to Uhe Canadian
line, and expected to meet at the line
a force of Canadian troops who would
take charge of them. The American
forces were surprised to see only three
mounted policemen who met them, and
handled the Indians as if they had
been lot of children.
L, IN hn OF AI sNf
managing the Indians is not due to amy
superior power Of organization or of
intelligence on the part Of the Cana
dams, but to the habits which each
branch of the race has acquired, during
many years, in the treatment of these
people. So far as dealing with an in
ferior race goes, the British idea of
using the central Imperial power has
prevailed, and the white settlers have
not been permitted to interfere in In
dian affairs. The Imperial policy has
Invariably stood between the settler
and the Indian. In the United States,
on the other hand, the settlers upon
territory occupied by the Indians, have
had their own way, have dictated to
the authorities in Washington. and
driven the Indian from his lands
The settlers have been humane men,
in all other respects. but they found
throughout the West a bad system OF
Indian government prevailing, and no
public sentiment in favor of changing
ii. The conditions were such that only
concentrated and vigorous action in
Washington could reconstruct the sys-
TEN, and there was no national opinion
pressing upon Congress or the EXecu-
tive. But since the industrial schools
were opened for the training of In
dians, first in Hampton, Va, and next
in Carlyle, Pa, public sentiment has
slowly changed, and the remnants Of
the Indian tribes are gradually being
governed by the same policy that the
Canadians have SO long practised, ..

CUSTOMS DUTIES
Novel View Presented by
a Correspondent
Has Congress Consent. TO the
Cole cuon 81 Duties by tho
Hawaiian Government.

novel view of the right in Con-
gress to permit Hawaii to establish
customs duties which differ from
those Of the United States, is here pre-
sented by correspondent:
Section 10, Article 1 of the Constitu-
ton of the United States is as follows:
No State shall, without the consent
or the Congress, lay any imposts or
duties on imports or exports, except
what may be absolutely necessary for
executing its inspection laws. . ="
Has not Congress-, by the terms of
the Joint Resolution, which provides:
Until legislation shall be enacted ex-
tending the United States customs laws
and regulations to the Hawaiian
Islands the existing customs relations
OF the Hawaiian Islands with the
United States and other countries shall
remain unchanged" given its consent
to the collection of duties on imports
and exports by the Hawaiian Govern
ment? ... .. I'LL.
This provision Of Section 10 of Ar
ticle l apparently conflicts with Sec
ton of the same article, which is
as follows:
The Congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts
and excuses, to pay the debts and pro-
vide for the common defence and gen.
eral welfare of the United States; but
all duties, imposts and excuses shall
be uniform throughout the United
States"
l maintain that it does not. II there
are any conflicting provisions of the
Constitution Of the United States they
have yet to be pointed out. 1t is to
be understood that I am advancing the
proposition merely that Congress had
power, under Section 10 of Article l.
to grant authority to the Hawaiian
Government to collect duties on i'm
ports and exports during this inter-
regnum. 1t may be argued in sup
port of my contention that Section s
of Article / refers only to Federal
taxes and duties levied by Congress:
and merely prohibits Congress from
discriminating against any particular
section Of the country. 1t would not
prevent Congress. II 1t chose to do So
from giving its consent to the laying
of impOsts or duties on imports or
exports by a State. By the terms of
the Joint Resolution, Congress has
clearly given its consent to the levy
ing of customs duties by the Hawaiian
Government until legislation shall be
enacted extending the United States
customs laws and regulations to the
Hawaiian Islands. ..... b. l.. NJ.

BAREFacED ROBBERY.
Roohat's Window Broken on Mont
romery Street at 1920 Last Night

4 crowd gathered in front of Rochat's
-awelry store. No. IS Montgomery street,
.f;fs morning, to look at a large
hole about nine or ten inches in
diameter in the centre of the right
hand show window. The hole has been
nlended by means of a piece of glass on
the inside. 1t was broken, as set forth
by a plarard in the window, at twenty
minutes past twelve last evening. and is
probably the work of sneak thieves or
boys.
The hole was made by half a brick tied
in a cloth and now in the possession of
the police 1t IS almost round in shape
and must have required great force as it

edges
Though the object was doubtless THEW
cry. there was little of great value in
the window at the time of the breakase,
all the more valuable goods having been
locked up for the night. and the fact that
a large gilt clock. which occupied the
centre of the window. was pulled toward
the hoio make it appear more hike the
work of boys than of professional thieves:
At first it was thought that nothing had
been touched. burt a more thorough hives
tigatlon proved the loss of several shirt

at about fifteen dollars. was too large 70

insured, Mr.. Rochat's loss will be small.
not exceeding fifteen or twenty dollars all
told.
Two boys. one a newsboy, the other a
Western Union Telegraph boy, saw two
men break the window, and without wait
ing to investigate ran for the police.
BY the time the police arrived the
men had escaped. Two suspicious look
ing characters. however. one with a
soldering iron and a cut hand, were ar
rested at Essex street. but the boys were
unable to identify them. and Justice Potts
dismissed them this morning on account OF
lack of evidence.
Chief of Police Murphy investigated the
case thoroughly and came to the conelu-
sion that the men were not guilty of the
crime. The Chief recommended the dis
missal of the men to Justice Potts, who
discharged them from custody.
