VICTORIA, B. c., June 1.-THE Su-
preme Court of Hawaii on June 8
handed down a decision in the case of
the HonomO Sugar Company VS. A
Sayewiz and n. Gzeluch for deserting
contract service, overruling the eXcep-
tions of the defendants and affirming
the judgment of the Circuit Judge.
These men deserted in September, 1898
They were arrested, found guilty and
fined, and upon failure to pay the fine
were put in Jail. They appealed to the
Supreme Court on the ground that the
penal clause of the labor law was
against the constitution of the United
States, and that their imprisonment
was therefore illegal.
After referring to the Peacock, Ed
wards and other cases. the court says:
These cases practically determine the
point that the provisions of the con-
stitution of the United States above
cited are not in force here during the
present transition period"
This settles the validity of the penal
clause in the contract labor laws as the
matter now stands.
The importation of Italians as labor
ers upon some plantations is now def
nitely decided upon. A number of man.
ayers have made application for this
class Of people, and they will almost
certainly form part of our population
in the course of few months
To Consul Schaefer is due the credit
in this matter. AS the representative
of Italy in the islands, his word lad
great weight with the Government of
King Humbert; and he has been un-
firing in his efforts to collect and for
ward information. The result has been
that the Italian Government is ready
TO permit an extensive emigration to
the islands
There is some difference between the
terms upon which the Italians come
to the islands. In the case of the Por-
tuguese the local Government bore 80
per cent of the cost of bringing the
families. In the case of the Italians
the local government will give so per
cent toward the cost of families. The
last Legislature allowed $4,000 toward
assisting in immigration of either
Americans or Europeans, and that ap
preparation is available for the Italians.

ANGLO-sHXON SOCIALIST
Socialists Show More Strength in New England Cities Than
 in inc West.

It is about time to revise the beliefs commonly held by the American peo- pie regarding ,he tendency of various nationahties toward socialism. Tn ra cent elections in this country the avowed socialists have shown more strength in New England cities like Haverhi.l, New Britain, New Haven. Bridgeport. and Lynn than they have manifested anywhere in the west. where the fcceign clements of the pop ulation are many and powerful. The native Americans have been more in- clined to v-ae that way than the Ger mans of Wisconsin or the Scandllla- vians Of Minnesota.
 This is in harmony with the eX- tremety radical experiments made and apparently approved by the sef-g0Y- erning British colonies of Australasia. where the population is almost wholly ef British origin. The state owner ship Of railroads, itelegraphs, and tele- phones is practically universal. Some of the colonies insure their citizens against death, others pension them in old age. Many loan money to settlers at low rates of interest. All, in Yari- GUS ways, go far beyond anything ever known in the United States in the di rectfOn of paternalism and state con trol of affairs left to individuals n this country. These Angfo-Saxon communities are outI0ing any Of the continental p,2iwe-s Of Europe in theT sccialistic experiments
 In the light of such facts it is only fair 70 cease looking upon socialism as an cutgrOwth of the fee.bleness or wrong -headedness Of :he Germans, the French, the Italians, cr any other non- English sleaking nationalities. It IS in the tendencies of the age rather than in the blC~d CT beliefs Of any one part of the human family.-Cleveland Leader
