wHAT LAS AROUSED HIM.

Something has happened in the Of
fee Of the United States Marshal.
Now If this statement was mad in
connection with many other Offices
in Hawaii it would not be particularly
strange. but to say that something had
occurred in the Office OF the United
States Marshal is so out of the or
binary as TO cause any one TO arise
for an explanation. life Is so pleas
ant and dreamy in Hawaii for the &C
cupant OF the United States Marshals
ofit that for aught that might dis
turb the serenity OF the Marshafs life
of ease Madame Pele might blow the
whole top on Mauna Loa.
But the Marshal has suddenly
aroused himself like a long dormant
Sampson and Selling the pillars CT
his Office has issued a proclamation
to the employers OF contract labor
that they mustn't be bad any more
and In his proclamation he tells the
alien contract laborers that they are
free 10 come and go as they please.
or course the Japanese and Chinese
contract laborers on the Islands knew
this long ago but the Marshal has just
found il out.
The second paragraph of Section 10
OF the Organic Act of the Territory
after declaring null and void all CON
tracts by which persons are held in
service for a definite time. says:
And it shall be the duty of the United
States Marshal TO at once notify such
persons so held of the termination of
their contracts"
This sentence directing the Marshal
to perform certain duties is in the Or
ganic Act of the Territory OF Hawaii
which was approved April Both. last,
and took effect June 14th. The Mar
shal was in Washington when the
act was approved and was supposed
to be watching II pretty closely. as he
was looking out for an appointment
under it. He was rewarded too. re-
ceiving his appointment early in June
and came at once TO Hawaii. He was
here over a month before the United
States Judge arrived. and he qualified
rs Marshal the first week in August.
But this clause in Sec. 10 of the Or
ganic Act did not worry the Marshal:
in fact he probably never knew it
existed. being so intent while in
Washington. when the act was before
Congress. in watching that section
which provided for the appointment of
n Marshal that he forgot that there
was anything about the duties of the
Marshal in the entire act.
However the worthy gentleman
from the Sangamon has aroused him.
self isomebody must have told him)
and has issued his proclamation.
Usually only Presidents and Cover
nors issue proclamations. or others in
executive position. but the fact that
a United States Marshal is a mere
ministerial officer of the court does
not prevent your Uncle Daniel from
issuing proclamation, II is out and
the employers OF contract labor must
now stand from under.

What are the remedies most needed
for the present conditions?
First: No contract laborers should
be brought here from anywhere
Second: The public land laws of the
United States should be extended over
these Islands
Fourth: There should be passed. a
homestead law made applicable t. the
Territory of Hawaii. giving to every
bona fide homesteader on the pubic
land from five to fifty acres o. land
and prohibiting it's encumbrance or
alienation for number of years.
Fourth: Adopting the exemption
laws of the coast states like Gator
MIA. Washington and Oregon.
Fifth: Giving to each head of fam
lily homestead. in or out of any town,
as exempt from execution of the value.

tGA ely IuAc4AlE TIT
In these Islands the Law happily
imposes upon all the people compul-
sorry education. There is hardly a
grown Hawaiian who cannot read and
write. In this connection il should
be said that contract labor is usually
ignorant labor, and that man is an
enemy TO the people of the territory
who imports to these Islands colored
ignorant or unIettered people, to labor
only. with no reasonable hope that
such people will become enlightened,
useful American citizens.
In a word. there is but one danger
line now confronting the people of
this territory. and that is class and
racial distinctions This great and
impending danger can only be met and
overcome by holding out inducements
to white people from all over the
Union and from Europe to come and
share with us the blessings of this
bountiful land by building for them
selves homes Any form of contract
labor. whether bearing the name of
slavery or coolieism, is alike danger
Gus to freedom.
Thus the great problem in this ter
ritory is what are the rights and duties
of our American citizenship? Cheap
labor carries with it cheap manhood.

fringement upon the rights of life.

need an increased number of plain

God-fearing men of both classes must
live together in the same land The
other cannot be maintained by the
never-ending strife of those who work
and those who do not work intelli-
gent men and good dollars both make
a state and both are necessary to an
American state.
1t is worse than ruinous to these
Islands to make this the dumping
ground for all these unfortunate PEG
