THE PLANTATION LABoRER.

1t is useless for contemporary to
say that "the Hawaiian laborer is po
slave, and never has been slave"
except in spirit of hair splitting OF
words. The records of the courts
and the official reports on file prove
to the contrary and 80 long as the
penal contract systems of the Master
and servant laws remains in force,
he practically remains nothing more
nor less than "a slave"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-07-21


Even its bitterest political OPP
ponents however, must, and do most
cordially, admit that the position of
the laborer has been greatly improv-
ed since the usurping government
came into power. They sent Mr..
Wray Taylor. DIR. Peterson and
others to carefully investigate and
report and took prompt action on
those reports instead of pigson
holing them. Aside from punish
ment melted out in deserving cases
the most important factor was the
refusal to grant permits for the adj
mission OF more laborers until con-
ditions were rectified and improved
on certain plantations. We accord
to the Government, our political
opponents, all credit for the good
work they have done is this direc-
ton but we do not forgive them for
not keeping their pledge made to
the American people that they
would repeal the penal labor con-
tract laws, for they obtained annex
alton on that promise.

SOUTHAMPTON, July 49, All sorts Of
delusive reports are current here.
In default OF news concerning the
reasons for the Shamrock being
docked, and wanting sensation at
any price, some of the press repre-
sentatives dish up the worst OF re-
ports, with little sauce diable OF
their own.
This particular sensational pro-
clivity is still further aggravated by
the absolute reticence of all persons
connected with the Shamrock
Truth naturally cannot be so inter-
esting as fiction, but the truth is
that the docking OF the Shamrock
was merely owing to the fact that
certain calking was found necessary.
1t was not owing, as has been stated,
to plate giving way, but in gen.
eral way, as might be expected in a
new yacht. Sir Thomas Upton
naturally denies the leakage story.
One OF the principle reasons for
the docking was that there is plenty
OF time now, and there will not be
timewhen the yacht gets to the Clyde
Docking her for only slight defects
is luxury which Sir Thomas can
afford.
The yacht has now been in the
water nearly three weeks, and the
designer and the captains were
unanimous in the opinion that a
general overhauliDg and inspection,
with little recaulking and polish
ing OF her bronze bottom, would be
OF much practical value.
Sir Thomas Lipton's big yacht
Erin remains out 10 the waters of
Hythe, looking lonesome without
the gay. colored Shamrock. Owing
to the fact that the sailing spin be-
tween the Shamrock and Britannia
will not be possible before July 18
the situation is somewhat altered.
First, there will probably be only
time for one sail second, matters
will have to be hurried up in the
north to get her fitted out in time.
Sir Thomas, hear, wishes abso-
lutely that she should start out on
her voyage from the Clyde during the
first week of August, aud by the end
OF that week at the latest. You
may now take it that she will leave
here as soon as possible after July
IS.
The Britannia as saw her yester-
day at Cowes, after having left Fay's
yard, appears as though she were

busy cleaning her spars; she has
been recalked and has new bulwarks
and taffrail, besides which lots Of
new work has been put in her be

Almost every great discovery owes its or
igin to the master mind OF an American
citizen. The curing of disease, which Mas
attracted the attention of more great
minds than any other profession, has at
last been placed into the domain of an
exact science. All diseases can now be
cured without the aid of drugs or the sur

enormity of this grand discovery. Think
of the thousands of our noble women who
have suffered the tortures and the agonies
OF female troubles and who could get
neither relief nor cure from the medical
profession. These great sufferers can now
be cured and brought back into that health
which will permit them to enjoy life; and
then, again, think of the legion Of men
who have become weak and debilitated
through early indiscretiOns, overwOrk and
dissipation. and who have taken. gallons
Of obnoxious drugs with no cure in sight;
they can now look UP with hope in
manent cure for them in this efftcacious
method of Magnetic Healing known as
Weltmerism. The archenemy of mankind

ner, goes to the very seat of the trouble.
and 1t can positively be stated that this
wonderful discovery will cure all diseases,
no matter what the nature or of how long
standing. More than 100000 men and wom-
men who have been cured of every disease
known through Weltmerism are positive
evidence that dispels further doubt. Welt
merism does not only cure those cases

Der 66. Thence, in order to visit the
streets methodically, we drove up 10
Camden town, where we discovered that
the street in question only contained
twenty houses. and was close 10 the cat
tie market The street lamps were being
lit and the great thoroughfares. quiet and
almost deserted, presented a most depTess-
ing spectacle, for on Christmas evening
every one remains at home save the driv-
ers OF public conveyances, and even the
latter cease running early in the evening
so that the employees may partake ir the
general festivities.
Cissie. huddled at my side, seemed tired
out. She spoke but little, and IT was APP
parent that she would soon fall asleep.

proved like the others, not to be one where-
