CONTRACT LABOR LAW DOES NOT
APPLY TO MINISTER'S

In the case Of ',The Church Of the
Holy Trinity vs.. the United States
on Feb. 20. 1892. a unanimous opinion
was rendered by Justice Brewer. in
which the relation CT this government
to the Christian religion is reviewed
at great length and various decisions
and opinions are cited on the subject
This was a somewhat famous case,
being an attempt to apply the con
tract labor law 10 the Rev WalpOle
Warren. an English clergyman. who
has accepted the pulpit of the Church
OF the Holy Trinity, New York, under
q call which was equivalent to 4 con-
tract.
The case finally came to the SUI
preme court. which held that the ap-
plication Of the contract labor law to
such cases was in violation Of the first
amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting restrictions in the free eNer-
else OF religion, and as if anNiOLs to
determine the question forever the
court demonstrated that every epoch
and almost every important event in
the history Of the | nited States from
the coming of Columbus in some
way recognized the Christian religion.
The first colonial grants in Virginia
were given for the prrpose Of pro-
pagating the Christian faith and the
charters Of all the original colonies
were OF similar purpOrt. The consti-
tuition OF several States forbade nnbe-
levers to hold Office. and in the early
days of the republic. as now in Della
ware, officials had to make oath as
to their faith in God the Father and
Jesus Christ. His only Son
I'm the face of all this" the Opin-
ion Of the Supreme court concludes,
shall il be believed that Congress in
tended TO make it a miSdemeanOr for
q church in this country to call to its
pulpit i Christian minister residing in
another natiOn?i

-FOUR CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.
Dale Leads the List of Those Anxious to Rule
in Hawaii.
(By the Associated Press. J


Washington. April 2S-In anticipation
Of the final enactment of the Hawaiian
Government Bill the President is devot
ing some attention to the selection of the
various officials of the new government
who are subject to executive appoint
ment 1t is the intention to make these
appointments very in order that
there may be no delay in the Inaugural
tiCn of the new government and to Sc
cure speedy relief from the serious en-
barrassments CT the present anomalous
condition of affairs.
The Hawaiian contingent in Washington
has not been behind hand in suggesting
suitable material to the President for his
consideration in this connection Parti
cularly in the case of the GovernOrship
have there been urgent representations.
There are no less than four candidates
in the field. The name of President Dole
leads the list Harold Sewell, late United
States Minister to Honolulu and now
United States agent in the islands is
making a formidable canvass, backed by
the Maine delegation, and there are two
persons of Hawaiian birth prominent in
the affairs CT the islands, whose names
also are under consideration. There is
ground for the belief that Of all these
candidates President Dole is looked upon
most favorably, the President incliElcg
to the view that by making such an ap-
pCiftment ne would not only recognize
the principle of home rule but also would
make suitable recognition of the lOng con-
tinued and effective efforts of Sanford B.
Dole to secure the annexation Of the Ha
waiian Islands to the United States
