The Hawaiian gazette., 1900-08-17

Court this ruling was reversed and
new trial ordered. At the trial yester-
day the company was allowed to give
evidence tending TO show the truth Of
the charge and to show that all OF It's
information came direct from the po-
lice authorities proving that there was
no malice In publication.
That the offense OF the paper was II
purely technical one is evidenced by
the fact that Judge Silliman yesterday
found for the plaintiff and awarded
one dollar damages. This Is virtually
n decision In favor Of the defendant.
II is the duty of the press to give the
news an correctly as possible, and this
the Advertiser did In 1893 as II does In
1900. In the hurry necessarily ineidcn-
tai to the making up Of a daily paper
minor Inaccuracies occasionally creep
in, but In the main the Advertisers
news reports are accurate and to be de-
pended upon.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1900-08-17
HAwAIiANS AND LABOR.

IL Ia often urged by demagogues that
the native Hawaiian has been crowded
out Of his old avocations by white ra-
pacity and unfriendliness. The charge
is never true, for an examination of the
facts will show that where the natives
Z have lost ground the fault is due to
their own unwtllngness to meet tho re-
quirements OF commercial civiliza-
ton.
The point Is being shown on the wa
terfront every day. For years the ma
tives had a monopoly of loading and
unloading ships. They did good work
and got fair pay Lately wages have
gone up somewhat with two results
which, In the nature of things, are
bound to be unfortunate for Hawaiian
labor. In the first place, having
taste Of blood, the native dockmen are
demanding more and more despite the
fact that Japanese coolies viii do the
same work for much less; secondly,
having regular accumulations OF good
pay while they work they lay off to
spend II OH creature comforts, caring
b nothing how busy their employers may
. be or how much their aid may be re-
auired. Finally such men have to so
because their services are too expen-
slve and uncertain.
The whole thing Is a source OF mel
ancholy to old friends of the Hawaiian
but there seems to be no external
remedy. The cane fields call for active
hands but no Hawaiian responds. The
trades are open but the Aslatics, by
superior thrift and industry, are grad
ually possessing them. Even the old
Hawaiian taro fields are being worked
by Chinese. The wide ocean teens
with fish. the market price Of the edi-.
BILE Is high and the Hawaiian used to.
be an expert fisherman. Why does he
not man his fleets of canoes and seek
the spoils OF the finny chase? If he
fishes at all he lays off until the pro-
ceeds of the catch are spent, never
thinking for n moment that he ought
to do business in buslness-like way.
And all the while he looks askance at
the haole whom he thinks has deprived
him OF his blrthright.
The Hawaiians have many able lead
ers but not many serviceable ones
There are leaders who teach the beau
ties of office holding and the delights
of political revenge and who draw has
heesh pictures OF lazy elysiums to
come, but there Is no apostle OF indus
try and thrift; no native Ben Franklin
to inspire the prudent virtues. The
wise Hawaiians will long for his COM
ing as the Indians of Mexico longed for
the return of Montezuma He would
be indeed the savior of the race, the
Worldwide industrial Messiah OF q
browsing people. a nation that lies
down to rest while Its condition de-
mands toll degenerates and dies; but
who can predicate such misfortunes OF
a people that make the anvil ring and
the furrow lengthen and who so down
to the sea in ships?
The Hawaiian gazette., 1900-08-17
MAY BE A FORLORN HOPE.

The world viii walt with anxiety up
on the fortunes of the little army which
is wayfaring towards Picking along the
banks OF the Peiho river. No army OF
invasion ever took greater chances, for
the odds against II are legion, II has
no supreme commander, 1t Is made up
of mutually dstrustful elements and
its goal IL fortified capital which an
uncomputed but assuredly great num-
Der of we'll armed Cinnamon are ready
to defend with their lives.
The wall OF Picking, fifty feet high.
from twenty to thirty feet thick and
with entrance ways that generally re-
quire the visitor to pass first through
II walled and fortified circular court
yard-a sort OF vestibule to the real
entrance-before reaching the city
proper, Is formidable defence even
against modern artillery OF the highest
power. To be sure the outer shell OF
the wall Is made OF brick. but within
are loose stones packed down with the
weight of ages. Such u wall cannot be
reduced by field guns; the highest ex-
plosives would merely change It's
shape. Nor do we think the ramparts
OF the Chinese capital could be scaled;
for nifty feet OF sheer wall Is some
thing not easily handled by scaling
ladder especially when the top of the
obstruction IL covered with rihemen
and bomb throwers
Assuming that Picking VIII be stoutly
defended what are the allies To do?
Carrying the place by assault being out
OF the question, there remain the de-
vices of siege and bombardment As
to Siege It would take half n million
men TO surround Picking as the Ger
mans encircled Paris; and as to n bonn
bardment, things OF that sort make
more noise than they do harm, For
days the British legation at Picking
was under shell fire but IL emerged
without substantial injury, The AM
ercan North Atlantic fleet lred Il hum
dred heavy projeetiles at Matanzas
and killed a mule. Ban Juan regarded
SIMPSONS bombardment as a joke.
Little the Government at Picking cares
for such a threat, for the stone houses
OF the town would avert a eonhagra-
ton and the loss OF coolle life would he
immateriaL At the same time the
Government would know that chlna's
unnumbered millions were rallylng 20
cut the foreigners on,
The most we can hope for Is that
the old-tlme fear Of the foreigner, dis
traeted councils and insufficient prep
aTallon among the Chinese, VIII en'
