A WARMING


A great deal Of interest centers about
the Panama railroad just now, be-
cause of tie row between the United
States of Columbia and Venezuela.
This little affair calls attention to pos
sibilities of difficulty when either of
the canals shall be completed. As re-
CARDS the trans-isthmian railroad, the
United States government has a treaty
by "hich the route must be kept open.
IL the Columbian authorities cannot
keep it open why United States troops
must do so.
The Panama Railroad is no longer
of the vital Importance it was in the
sixties, before the trans continental
lines begai. to be established. In those
days it furnished the short route be-
tween the Atlantic coast and the Ell
dorado ,f the west. The crack steam
ers of the Pacific Mail used to run
down the coasts, carrying thousands of
passengers to and fro, and both Aspin-
wall and Panama were busy places full
of gamblers and every kind of black
guard. Now the aspect has. changed,
the great route of travel has gone
north, for hundred passengers Of for
mer times, only one is now carried. But
the obligation to keep the right of way
clear still rests with the United States,
and she reco Tnizes that obligation by
sending men-of-war to be at hand at
either end of the line.
The United States has had trouble
with the railroad before. The amount
of interest involved in the railroad,
however, will be as nothing when COM
pared with the enormous commercial
interests of either of the canals. 1t
matters very little whether the route
is to be through the Panama Isthmus,
or through Nicaragua, both are liable
to the same danger. These Central
American and South American Repub-
lies are always in a state of unrest.
Revolution fellows revolution, and at
tack follows attack. There is no true
stability about them.
For great commercial interests to be
at the mercy of these venal and mobile
republics would be the height of folly.
Trade plans would be constantly
thwarted and as likely as not ships in
transit might be plundered by some of
the insurUent bands, and this with the
full connivance of the government,
which would be quite willing to "divvy"
with the robbers.
In dealing with either canal no reli-
lance could be placed upon the faith
or the ability of either the Coumbians
or Nicaraguans to protect the water
way. Tile United States and NO other
power will have to exercise that nee
essary police duty. Whenever either
water way is opened it will have to
come into our jurisdiction exclusively
What has happened before at the Pa
mama Railroad, and what is happening
now, will occur along side the canals.
and the only way to protect them is for
one power to undertake the duty. The
canals will certainly give a great i'm
petus to trade, but they will entail
Onerous duties, Which the United
States, and only the United States can
fulfill. There neVeF can be any divided
control over the canals.

REACHING A STATUS.

Regarding trades unions, two inter
esting cases haYe recently been decid-
ed before the highest court of appeal
in England. OF course English law is
not American law but these decisions
are based upon broad principles which
rule in either country.
The first and most important decision
was one which decided that a trades
union is a suable body, and that an
injunction may be issued against such
body and it's officers. The case was
one in which the Taft Vale Railway
Company sought an Injunction to re-
strain the Amalgamated Society of
Railway Servants from taking steps to
prevent the employment of men in
place of those on strike.
The Amalgamated Society claimed
that it's name should be stricken out
son, firm or corporation rendered
capable by act Of Parliament of being
sued. The case was fought till it came
before the Lord Chancellor. His judg-
ment was that if the legislature had
created q thing which can own prop
erty, which can employ servants, and
which can inflict ipjury,ait must be
taken to have implicitly given power
to make it suable in the courts of law
for injuries purposely done by it's au-
thority and procedure. In other words,
according in a comment in Bradstreet's,
eff trades unions are given standing
at law, from the standpoint of enabling
authority and right, they are burden
ed with a corresponding duty and re-
sponsibility, and are for all purposes
within and not beyond the law" This
is the enunciation of clear principle,
tersely put and with no dissenting
opinions.
The other case hangs on this in part.
The Butchers Assistants Association
had brought pressure to bear on re-
tailers to boycott a certain Who'll ale
butcher until he should dismiss a nom
union employee. The association threat
ened to call out all the union employees
of the retailers unless their demand to
boycott the wholesaler was obeyed.
Finally the association induced the
non-unionist to leave the employ Of
the wholesale butcher. But the latter's
blood was up and he sued the associ-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-08-30

alton for damages which he got. on
appeal the damages were affirmed. the
reasoning being that It was a malicious
and wrongful conspiracy on the part
~ the union not undertaken to advance
the interests OF the workmen them
selves but solely to injure the plain
tin.
Seeing the condition Of affairs at the
Coast, t!.ese cases throw light upon
what legal means could be employed
during the present struggle. If the
principle that the union is "respons-
BILE for the injuries purposey done by
its authority and procurance," could
be established, the union would be Ii
able 70 all the damage done to the
fruit farmers and instead of a physi-
cal fight the matter would go into the
courts. Once the officers of a union
began to understand that they became
legally liable for damage done, they
would be very careful to avoid giving
cause for suits. At present they wash
their hands of all responsibility of the
acts of others and take the attitude of
the man who shouts to the crowd.
Don't hurt him! Don't hurt him! and
don't, please don't throw him into the
horse POM" Whereupon the crowd
promptly takes the tip.
The question of strikes is apparently
a simple one, but it is not. If man
does not wish to work he need not,
provided that by his idleness he does
not become a burden upon the COM
munity. If a body of men do not choose
to work they are perfectly at liberty
to quit. They have also perfect right
to state on what terms or on what
wages they will return to work. This
is simple enough, but the striker wants
to go further. He says not only have
right to refuse to work but claim
the right of forbidding any one to do
the work which have left. Here the
striker begins to coerce other people.
He wants freedom himself, and he does
not want any one else to have equal
freedom. Once this principle takes
possession of the strikers mind. and
the way is open to compl. c@tions and
violence. That strikes are disastrous
to the whole community is certain. The
question is how we are to avoid them.
There are plenty of proposed pana-
ceas but no true cure has been found.

The Sultan made serious mistake.
He paid his debt to the United States
and now other countries want him to
do the same thing by them. Then he
has taken to do his own lyir" instead
of having a minister to do it for him.
This is another objectionable error.
When a minister lied for the Sultan
and was found out, it was the easiest
thing in the world to have him bow
strung, beheaded or bastinadoed. But
the Sultan is not going to exercise
these amusements upon his own per-
son. Not at all. However here he is
in a row with France, and France will
have to be paid. There will be no
ministerial salaries in Turkey this
year, but that, after all, is nothing
new.

1t does seem an extra ordinary thing
that there has been so much violence
at sea on board of American ships as
has developed here in the courts with
in the last few months. San Francisco
harbor is full of deep sea shipping. but
the courts there are comparatively free
from the cases which are so constantly
cropping up here, 1t may be said that
ship has only to sail into this harbor,
to have her captain and officers
promptly arrested for cruelty or bru-
tality or some such charge, The time
will come when captains will positively
refuse to come here, because if they
try to keep their crews in proper or
der, they are safe to be charged with
some crime as DON as they tie up at
the wharf.

He Is willing to tell the truth now that public indignation has been aroused all over this country by his libels against an officer whose courage is beyond ques- ton. The public Is not very much inter- ested in Maclay's hstory-not half so much as In Maclay himself. Nobody cares much what corrections or footnotes or apologies Maclay may see fit to paste into the back pages of his scurrillous work. People are very much interested fin knowing how long this man is going to hold down a good job in the gov ernment service after disseminating his mean lies. Nobody cares particularly whether the Maclay book Is suppressed or not. There Is a strong feeling all over the United States that the duty of the hour is that Maclay himself be sup pressed. revised. or expurgated out of the Brooklyn navy yard.

THE GATHMANN GUN.
Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
 The wonderful dynamite gun which failed to produce results at Sandy Hook yesterday. is based upon the theory that explosion. as of dynamite with which 1t with the target, will be more productive of trouble to the enemy than an interior explosion which merely serves to give an impetus to the projectile, and the latter does the rest
 The Gathmann gun has been before the country-and Congress-for several years. It Is one of the few experimental de- vices which has been accepted at the inventors face value, and nursed, pro- noted and endowed. Most of our in- genieus people have to struggle and fight for years to get their inventions noticed. The Gathmann gun has developed a most notable exception. Although army and ordnance matters repeatedly have disap- proved of it, and although line officers of the navy have trembled in their shoes for fear it might be adopted and they caught on slipboard with 1t. our nation al legislators have not failed to appropri- ate money to provide for further ex- periments"
 One of our New York contemporaries estimates that the shot fired yesterday from the Gathmann gun. and which practically only scratched the face of the target. cost the governm ent a hun dred and fifteen thousand dollars. That was high price for single pop in the interests of strictly private enterprise.

Good Roads in Alabama.

Too much cannot be said in favor of good roads in this State-a State that has very poor roads except in very few counties. The Southern Railroad and the government have organized a Good Roads train, bearing the latest and best machinery for constructing superior roads, and the machinery is in charge of competent men. This train will stay one week in this town, one week in Mobile. concluding it's mission in Alabama with a stay of one week in Montgomery.
 If the probate judges and county commissioners of north Alabama will come to Birmingham this week; if those of south Alabama will go to Mo- bile next week, and those of all Ala -bama will go to Montgomery on the following week, the good work of this excellent object lesson can be spread all over the State.
 What is needed in this State in the respect of public roads is education and agitation, with view to securing the appointment by the next Legisla- ture of commissioner of public roads. Such man must be a competent man. He must not only know a good road when he sees it, but he must be able to build good road. He must also be man who can talk to the peo- pie, who can tell county commission CTS how to place bonds-an educator. in fact, who must visit every county fin the State at least twice a year. In order to secure competent man he must be paid living salary--say, s2500 a year, or about $40 a county. And such man will be we'll worth to any county many times forty dollars each and every year.
 When the Southern Railroad has generously placed this object lesson at our very doors, let us give 1t all the support and aid we can. Let all attend the meetings that are to be held. Let them witness the road making that will be done as soon as the storm ceases to beat down on us. It is splendid effort, full of promise to the State, full of real actual good
