The Judiciary Committee composed
of Republican Congressman has rec
commended the adoption Of a measure
to reeompense al persons who are
lynched by mobs. providing such per
sons or victims are foreigners. But
II will be void and of no effect what
ever to native Americans. It is simply
intended to protect the foreigners from
mob violence, and not the Americans.
The Couservator Of this city character
ICES this piece of legislation as very
brutal and a national shame. It seems
to be greatly astonished to think that
a Republican Congress would ever
dream of such thing. For it thinks
that IL the Republican party can legis-
late to protect the foreigners from
mobs it can do the same thing for the
negro. But possibly within the next
two hundred years the ConseIvator
and many others may learn that the
Republican party was not created for
the special purpose Of acting as the
sole guardian Of the negro. Do you ,
see the point, Mr. Conservation?
Congressman ]. NJ. Robinson of Indi- |
ana has favored The Broad-Ax with a
copy Of his speech which he delivered |
In the House of Representatives lately
on labor in the Hawaiian Islands"
The Congressman in his speech dwells
at great length upon the system Of s'a-
very which is IN existence In those ISL
ands at the present time, and which is
and sustained by the ma
tional Republican administration. For
the life Of us, 1t is beyond our compile
hension TO understand why such a sys-
tenn OF slavery should be permitted to
exist in this, the supposed noontide of
Christian civilization, and we are
of the opinion that any
man who win vote to uphold the hands
Of those who are In favor Of tolerating
It are devoid of the finer instincts Of
humanity. Congressman RobInson's
speech should have a wide circulation
and it should be extensively read, for
II win greatly assist in enlighten'ng
the minds of the American people to
the true condition Of affairs and the
system Of slavery in vogue. in the Ha-
waiian Islands.
