Found the Iron

Yesterday Adam Uhl was cutting up
prime steer when his saw come in
contact with something that sanked
the teeth off his saw blade. As Ie vas
saving through the hip bone he knew
that something was wrong and he cut
the bone out. When he did so, he was
greatly surprised to find piece of iron
or steel about three inches long en-
bedded in the hip bone. The piece
was the prong Of a pitch fork which
some former had persuaded the bovine
to move with. The critter showed no
signs OF lameness, and the piece of steel
was completely surrounded by bone.
The only one to pay the penalty is
Adam, who will have to dig up a new
saw blade.

A Square Deal

1t is said that Cinnamon invented cards
and card playing and from thu way they
conduct the game it must be 20, for there
is certainly square deal when they play.
They use deck with lO4 cards instead of
the usual American plan of 50 and each
card is about four inches long and inch
wide. When Mr.. ChiBaman shutfies the
cards he lays them down in the deck and
the man that cuts the deal inserts piece
OF money in them thus cutting them.
The deck is then laid down on slant so
that each card follows the other and each
man takes card and so it goes around
i the table, each one taking card in turn.
There is no chance to work card up the
sleeve or ring in cold deck and the deal
is on the square.
Probably the Cinnamon in days gone
by passed the cards out, as do the sharp
ers in this city but the handling Of the
queens and knaves don't go with them
1t is not likely that this mode of dealing
will ever become popular in this land, as
it would threw too many American card
manipulators out Of a job.

Weekly Crop Bulletin

Carson City, Nevada, May 8, 1900.
The past week was moderately warm
and generally cloudy with generous and
widely distributed showers over the
greater portion of the State. No dam
aging frests occurred during the week.
The conditions we're exceptionally
favorable for the termination of seeds
and growth of crops. The warm
weather, following the rains at the
close OF the previous week, stimulated
the growth of vegetation to wonder
full extent and made great improve
ment in the condition of crops and
ranges all over the State. Seeding is
still going on IN eastern and northern
sections where the work has been de-
layed by unfavorable weather condi-
lions.
Grain and alfalfa are in excellent con.
dition and made rapid growth during
the week. The ranges have beer
greatly improved since the recent rain:
and now afford abundant feed fol
stock.
In Lincoln county the wheat and
barley are heading out, and the cutting
of the first crop of alfalfa has com
menced.

THE RETROACTIVE LABOR CLAUSE

We spoke yesterday Of the intent oil
the authors of the contract-laboi
amendment to the Cullom-Knox bill
to deprive Hawaii Of $4,000 japanese
laborers to make room for white work
ingmen who would not come. This
morning we have a few words to say
about the futility Of deportation.
How are these la6orers to be found
for shipment home? How could the
United States Government, with nc
records OF Identification In its hands,
pick them out? 1t is all the Islano
planters, acting together, can do now
TO spot runaways; and as II Is hardly
likely that these business men would
help the Federal power to strip their
own properties of labor, what could
the Government do to carry out the
law? Searching for needles in a grain
field would be a light and easy task
compared with trying to pick out Jap
anese who have come here under con-
tract since 1898 and want to stay.
from the great army OF coolies who
have been here for a longer period.
And there is another obstacle. I'm
der what law has Congress the right
to make legislation of this kind retro
active? II Hawaii came under the
Constitution and the laws made in
pursuance thereof when the flag was
raised. then, of course, it would be le-
gal enough to punish all local infrac-
tons Of the American contract labor
statutes since that time. But the So

THE PROHIBITION CLAUSE.

An anti-liquor amendment to the
Cullom bill was proposed at select
meeting held several weeks ago at
Y. NJ. c. A. hall, and after a long dis
cussion those present voted to ask
Congress to incorporate 1t in the body
of Hawaiian organic law. AZ We are
informed, a petition or memorial was
framed which went to the National
Woman's Christian. Temperance Union
which. at the time. was moving 10 Sc
cure a law prohibiting the manufac-
ture, importation or sale Of liquor in
all OF Americas new possessions. That
body became sponsors for the Hawaii
an memorial with the results We know
These results can hardly be satisfac-
tory to the extreme party OF teetotal-
ism, for the Gillett amendment does
not prohibit the sale Of liquor in Ha-
wall. but merely its sale outside OF
hotels. No saloon could exist as such ;
but change a saloon into hotel by
putting a few bedrooms overhead and
a register on the bar, and liquor would
become a legal article OF merchandise.
This is not the only Joker" Saloons
are prohibited and no penalty is fixed
for breaking or evading the law. A
misdemeanor Ia described but its pun
ishment Is left out.
So really the Giilett amendment
amounts to nothing at all. 1t Is pre-
tentious fraud which reveals Mr.. Gil
lett as a mere player to the CALLER
les. In fact, the entire body Of amend
ments to the Cullom bill, with one or
two exceptional items. seems to be the
result OF political chicane. Some one
gives a sop to the Cerberus Of labor by
requiring that all contract coolies ar
irving here since the date Of annexa-
ton shall be sent back-yet II the au
thor of this amendment knows any
thing at all he must be aware of the
utter impracticability Of such a move.
1t is little he cares for that, however.
His point is made when he earns a
resolution OF thanks from organized
labor in his district. It is the same
way with other men and clauses that
appear in the making of Hawaiian bill
amendments. Politics and humbug;
by their fruits shall this Hawaiian
makeshift be known.
Our people will now await the &C
ton of the conferees Of the Senate and
House. Perhaps there will be some
sincerity there, but We have our
misgivings. 1t is a Presidential year
and plenty Of men want to make rec
ords at our expense. Probably we
should get better government IL the
bill were put over a session, though
a. present there is no visible prospect
of that.

licitor General Of the United States
says that the Constitution did not go
into effect here when the Islands were
annexed. 1t waited upon a formal act
of Congress which even yet has been
withheld. Both the Executive and
Legislative branches OF the Federal
Government recognized our exterior
position when they made special regu-
lations extending this or THAI Ameri-
can law to the Hawaiian sphere. That
would not have been necessary II the
Constitution held perfect sway. For
Congress- to say now that It has q
right to go far back OF the date OF
special enactments and to compel Ha-
wall to make reparation for disobedi-
ence to laws which did not apply here
at the time Is to fly In the face Of the
most rational interpretations OF Con-
stitutional duty.
Should the Cullom-Knox bill pass
with the retroactive amendment Japan
would naturally ask for indemnity In
any case Of deportation. She let Ia
borers come here under a law which
had not been superseded and having
done 30 would not allow them to be
cheated out OF their contract wages .
This Is perhaps the greatest obstacle
Of all.
In thus dealing with the recent &C
ton OF the House we do not mean to
have 1t understood that Hawaii will
antagonize any fair and proper inhibi-
ton OF contract labor and its penal en-
forcement. The Islands know that a
change must come; they are prepared
to have the contract system abolished.
But they resent any retroactive prohi-
billions or penalties as an injustice to
employer and laborer alike. Further
more. they believe that such prohibi-
tons and penalties would not hold for
an instant after they had been passed
upon by the Supreme Court.
