to public hands and settled them ac-
cording to the rules of justice. The
new method marked the beginning OF
civilized society Logically It should
have been extended so as 60 cover the
feuds OF nations. and IL is the object
OF those who are holding peace con-
crosses and asking the moral counte-
nance OF commercial bodies all over the
world to so extend 1t.
a beginning has been made at the
Instance OF the Car of Russia, in the
peace tribunal at The Hague Unfor-
tunately before a case can reach that
court the parties to an international
quarrel must agree to submit 1t. They
have the right to fight instead IL they
want to and in the war now going on,
the Car preferred that course. Had
the same choice of method been left
to men engaged In private quarrels
there never would have been any
courts or any civilized society. 1t is
obvious, therefore, that If international
arbitration is going to win, there must
be no choice about the submission of
any quarrel of the powers to a board
of adjudication. Moreover there must
be police authority to compel legal
settlement by preventing a resort to
violence and haling governments into
court.
The process would have been some-
thing like this in the case of Russia
and Japan. When their differences be-
came a threat to the common peace,
the Tribunal would cite the two gov
ernments to appear by counsel and
file their briefs. In the case of re-
fusal it would be the duty of all other
powers, representing the police force
of arbitration, to interfere and arrest
the disturbers at whatever cost. This
would mean the occupation of their
countries and the putting down of re-
sistance by superior force, the costs of
court to be charged up against both
offending nations. Then the court
would hear all evidence, give it's judg-
ment and rely on the police power to
carry out it's orders, exactly duplicat-
ing the process usel in the settlement
of a private controversy.
If any four powers. such as Great |
Brita the United States Germany |
and Japan would agree upon this form
of arbitration the rest of the world
would have to submit to it and legal
lied public war would soon go where |
legalized private war went.

HAWAIIAN VANILLA.

The arrival OF sample gallon Of
| vanilla extract from Mr.. Edwards
| Vanilla Park Plantation at Napoopoo,
Hawaii, ought to stimulate the settle
ment OF the adjacent lands which are
being offered, on very liberal terms,
| by the Bishop Estate. The district,
| which IL on the Kona side of the big
| island, is well adapted in its rich soil
and copious rainfall, to the culture of
the vanilla bean, "A product which CON-
mands a price of from 81 to 800 per
pound according to it's quality. Mr..
Edwards, who came here three or four
years ago from the Seychelles islands,
and to whom vanilla culture has long
been familiar, staked all he had upon
the proposition that the Kona coun-
try was fit to grow the fragrant bean.
Even here in Honolulu he demonstrat-
ed what could be done by marrying"
two vanilla vines and producing 1903
robust pods. Years before Captain
Kidwell had raised a remarkable crop
on tiny enclosure on Beretania street,
some of which he sent away for sam
Piles, selling the remainder at Sc per
pound. But for pineapple venture he
was entering Captain Kidwell might
have preceded Mr.. Edwards in vanilla
farming on a large scale.
OF course no enormous industry may
be built on vanilla farming owing to
the comparatively small market-small
in contrast to the market for sugar,
coffee, tobacco, wine, sisal, ETC., but
there is a chance for many 100-acre
plantations and for the use of vanilla
as a by-product of farmers living in
the susceptible districts. The business
might be readily combined with wine
growing and the production OF honey,
and be made to pay large dividends.
Meanwhile the addition of one more
salable commodity to the agricultural
output of Hawaii is a thing for con-
gratulations among all who have the
interests of Hawaii at heart

CITIZEN LABOR IN HAWAII.

1t ought to be easy to settle the ques-
ton of citizen labor through the Trades
and Labor Council or some similar
organization. Wilson & Duggan say
that they will pay citizen labor, for
work on Maui, 81 to sl.25 per day and
more in special cases. Citizen laborers
who apply to this firm say that they
can get no definite agreements as to
work and price but are told to go to a
certain place In Maui first and make
their bargains afterwards. This they
refuse to do as 1t would be risking
passage money on an uncertainty. The
laborers say that Wilson & Duggan do
not want to hire citizens but Japanese;
and the only way they can get the
latter is TO demonstrate that citizens
can't be had. BY showing that in spite
of offers of steady employment no citi-
zen could be got TO go TO Maui-that
island itself having already failed OF
n supply--that firm would be at liber-
ty to employ Asatics.
II this theory does an injustice to
Wilson & Duggan they can clear them
selves easily enough by asking the
Trades and Labor Council to get them
30 many citizen laborers at so much
"a day. That would be a fair test both
of the availability of citizen labor and
their own good faith. There IL now

SPEEDY JUSTICE.

Scant two weeks from the day he
killed s. L. Damon, Jose Miranda was
sentenced to be hanged and it is prob
able that he will die within the month.
This is justice of the English pattern.
Indeed some English cases, renowned
for their CELEBRITY have taken twice as
long. In the instance of Mrs Dyer,
who murdered many children, IL took
thirty-seven days to find an indict-
ment, two days more to bring the case
TO trial, fourteen minutes to get jury,
two days to try the case, five minutes
to get a verdict, fifteen minutes to pass
sentence and three weeks more for the
hanging. Mrs. Dyer suffered the penal
ty of her crime sixty-three days after
IL was discovered. About the same time
the American method was exhibited in
the case of Durrant at San Francisco.
Ii was 104 days after the arrest or
Durrant when the selection of jurors
was begun. 1t took thirty-eight days
to get a jury and 1t was sixty days
later when the jury brought in the
verdict that sentenced the murderer or
Blanche Lamont to the gallows. Then
the case fingered along for year be-
fore it reached the Supreme Court and
the execution did not take place until
nearly three years had elapsed from
the time of Blanche Lamont's disap-
pearance.
English celebrity, perhaps for the first
time in modern American courts, mark
ed the legal case of CZolgosz, the as
sassin of President Mckinley. The
murder was committed on September
6 1901. Czolgosz was sentenced on
September 26 of the same year and his
execution occurred on October 30 fol-
lowing. This was reasonably rapid
work but unfortunately it did not hN
standard. In ordinary cases of MUIR
der Justice resumed its snaiPs pace;
and lately in San Diego county, Cal,
the spectacle has been afforded of !
murderer being hanged between seven ,
and eight years after he had COM /
mitted a capital crime. The case was
clear; the prisoners recourse was TO |
technicalities; the delay was travesty
on justice and an encouragement to
similar crimes.
In Hawaii 1t is thought that the near
err We approach the English system
which puts more stress on the protec-
ton of society from murder than 1t
does on the protection of murderers
from punishment, the safer we Will be
from crimes of magnitude. Clearly the
American system of delay and judicial
insistance upon technicalities, has
evolved a state of things far from
satisfactory. The prison has eight I'M
hung murderers and their number Is
being steadily increased. Nobody has
seemed to fear the infliction of the |
supreme penalty, especially since the
abortive result in the Jones case. we |
agree with the public that the trial of
the English system is necessary to
human safety here; that it is high |
time to adopt those summary and in
exorable measures which, in Great |
Britain and her colonies, have made
capital crimes so rare.

RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.

Increased vigilance on the part of
Admiral Togo's fleet has resulted in
the capture of the British steamer
Fupin heavily laden with contraband
and on her way to Port Arthur Some
days before another such vessel, with
a full cargo, was stopped outside OF
Shanghai incidentally many junks
besieged fortress from Chefoo have
been overhauled by japanese torpedo
boats and sunk. 1t is but lately that
the Japanese have kept such bright
lookout; but they evidently have
reason to believe that the prolongation
of the siege is measurably due to the
inflow of contraband under the slim
ulus of Stoessels offer of large cash
premiums for supplies
The reason why blockade running
has been so eagerly attempted at Port
Arthur lies in the fact that Admiral
Togo has maintained only the form of
naval Gordon there. According to
George KEENAN, the Japanese fleet
stays in port at the Elliott islands,
something like so miles from the Rus
sian fortress, being represented on the
siege line only by guardship and
some torpedo boats. At night and in
stormy weather the vessels go to sea
and it is then the blockade-runners
creep in. 1t looks now as If the Japa-
nese We're watching nearby ports care
fully and preparing to intercept any
suspected vessel that may come out.
Why Admiral Togo did not form the
usual semi-circle off the entrance 10
Port Arthur and maintain a rigid
blockade is not clear; but perhaps such
methods have gone out now that sub
and floating mines have come

HAWAII MAY GET CHINESE.

The negotiation begun by the Chinese
Minister with Secretary Hay over the
Exclusion treaty may lead to impor-
tant results. There is a growing self
respect in China which takes the form
of the proposition that, If the United
States will not open its door to the
admission of Chinese, China will shut
its own door in the face of Americans.
That she has moral and legal right to
do so is clear; that she has the strength
to take advantage of that right is an
other matter. But it would surely
prove embarrassing to the United
States to train its guns on China to
obtain privileges which are not recipro-
cal. Such a process is too Russian to
be American. What is more it might
make trouble a little further along with
whatever power China may find itself
in alliance with at the close of the pres
ent war.
1t is possible that, by way of COM
promise with China the United States
will agree to coolie immigration to it's
colonies and to this nsular Territory,
excluding it by mutual consent from the
mainland. This might satisfy the Chi
nese sense of fair play and it would
surely confer benefit upon the outly
ing territories and possessions of the
United States at no serious cost to
American labor. In our own opinion
American labor would benefit by the
admission of $4,000 Chinese to the main
land, but that is another and a con-
troversial matter There can be no
doubt that in the Philippines, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and possibly Alaska the
admission of Chinese in reasonable
numbers would begin an era of develop
ment by which white men would be
benefited far more than they now are.
The Philippines and Porto Rico need
agriculture such as Chinese create:
and Hawaii needs cheap labor for the
agriculture which already exists.
on these accounts the progress of the
treaty making at Washington will be
watched here with profound interest.
