ayers fly into passions and conspire afresh to
defeat all reasonable regulation of their public
relations
The day for argument with these railway
highwaymen is about passed They must be
brought to book and made to obey the laws
of the land The imposition Of fines upon
them is only another mode of taxing the traf-
fc and therefore the public The same laws
that applied to the burglar and the bunco-
man must be applied to the lawless depreda-
tor who sits at the head of the Board of Di-
rectors of defiant railroad company.
lhe people of Georgia within the next
three months will have the opportunity to
show what a sovereign state can do to pro-
tect its common people from the wholesale
laWlessness and 1ootings practised by its own
and foreign railway corporations.
And we mistake very much the verdict of
last August at the polls and the honesty of
Governor-elect Hoke Smith, if such measures
are not enacted in Georgia this year as will
put the railway business of the state on a legal
and honest basis.
There are several Of Our most important
railway corporations in this state that operate
under charters obtained from the state The
question of the power Of the state over such
charters and the authority Of the state to re-
woke them was thoroughly debated in the Con-
stitutiOnal Convention in 1877. The argu-
ments then made are vet available and are in
the writer's hands. They were not written
out and published in the printed proceedings
of the convention, because of their great
length, but the splendid and convincing argu-
ments by General Toombs, Gen A. R. Wright,
Gen. Lucius J. Gartrell, Col P L. Mynatt
and others, who denounced the then arrogance
Of the Wadlev-Central and the Georgia Rail-
way managements, and predicted the evils
that the people have since experienced from
them, will throw flood of light upon the is
sues now at bar in Georgia
1t can be shown that the power Of the peo-
pie, expressed in the taxing authority of the
general assembly, is complete and indefeas-
bic in dealing with corporations holding char
ters from the state. General Toombs declared
that "therc never has been and never can be
a vested right in franchise" and he proved
it to an irreducible demonstration by quota
tiOns from the earliest English decisions down
to the hour in which he spoke
"When an American state ceases to be re-
publican in its form of government the state
ceases to be a commonwealth. Sovereignty
inheres in the people and cannot be delegated
to their artificial creatures" And by such
declarations he and his colleagues established
the article cf the present constitution of Geor-
gia commanding the general assembly to reg
ulate freight and passenger rates in this state.
They did not intend that any commission"
should exercise that power Their whole in
tent was that the general assembly should al
wavs do that work itself!
The Jeffersonian stands ready to prove from
the records of the Constitutional Convention
that it is the duty of the general assembly it

The baseball game played yesterday
afternoon between the All-Hawaii and
the Coast team with the exception OF
the first inning was the best exhibit

BARON lSHII SAYS
KEEP MEN At HOME
PREJUDICE is FOUND-FINDS
COUNTRYMEN ALSO RESENT IN
FLUX FROM HAWAII.

TOKYO, Nov. 30.-Baron Ishii, chief
of the bureau of commerce of the Jap
anese foreign office, who visited Am
erica and Canada to investigate the
immigration problems, arrived in To-
kyo today and conferred with the Of
ficials of the foreign Office, with whom
he arranged a thorough canvass of the
situation for the coming week. Baron
Ishii said:
by visit to America and Canada
convinced me that opposition to the
Japanese is based partly upon race
prejudice, though considerable of it is
due to laborers, instigated by agita-
tors / found Japanese residents in
America and Canada who resent the
incoming of their Countrymen from
the Hawaiian Islands and Mexico
while it is proper for Japan to
conserve the interests of Japanese now
resident abroad, many of whom are
prospecting and living peacefully in
America, in my opinion it will be
necessary in order to keep absolute
faith, with the United States to pre-
vent the emigration of laborers thith-
er altogether, because an exclusion act
would be disagreeable. We should
send laborers to Canada in great mod
Grafton"
The foreign Office is now engaged in
investigating the representations Of
the American ambassador, Thomas j..
O'Brien, concerning the character and
number of emigrants. The indications
are that the Japanese government will
give formal but verbal assurances of
future rigid exclusion of all that
can be termed strictly labor emigra-
ton to the United States, being care
full also in limiting the number leav-
ing for Canada. 1t is doubtful if these
assurances will take the form of writ

sibly Foreign Minister Hayashi will

TOXIC, November 26.-Rodolphe Le-

ence continuing for three hours today
with Minister of Foreign Affairs Haya-
shi at which the emigration problem
was discussed. 1t Is understood that
he received assurances that the Japa

planning the limitation of emigration
to Canada.
The opinion is entertained here that
after the return of Ishii, chief of the
bureau of commerce of the Foreign
Office. the Government will announce
its decision to limit the emigration of
all classes of Japanese to America
pending the adjustment of the existing
differences. A meeting of the various
emigration companies at which the
situation will be discussed has been
called to convene at the Chamber of
Commerce on Tuesday, December 3rd.

net score of 49, Chan Wilder was
second with a score of so, while the
best gross score of the day was made
by Frank Halstead with an S5 for two

Two very interesting games of base
ball were played yesterday morning in
the Atkinson League at Kakaako The
first game between the Brewery and
the Laundry boys, resulted in a vic
tory for the later by the score of 10.
Both teams played very fast ball, but
the team work of the Laundry boys
proved too much for the beer makers.
In the second game between the
Ocean Views and the sailor boys from
the Iroquois, the former team won by
the small margin of two runs. The
game was won by the Ocean Views in
the first inning, when they by heavy
hitting and errors on the part of the
sailor lads brought in seven runs. The
sailors did not lose hope, however, and
started their run making in the first,
but they were unable to overcome the
lead.
The following is the score by in
nings of both games.

DIFFERENT PHYSICAL CONDI-
TIONS.

I'VE shall find very different phys
ical conditions between Kusaie and
Ocean Island. Kusaie is of volcanic
formation. not unlike Oahu in general
appearance. 1t rains twenty-four feet
a year there and vegetation is album
dant There are several varieties of
breadfruit. so that breadfruit is album
dant and the staple food during seven
or eight months of the year. Many
of the varieties are far superior to the
breadfruit of the Hawaiian Islands.
Bananas grow abundantly, and taro,
and there is the cocoanut. The Gill
bert Islands are of coral formation,
the water is scanty and brackish, and
is found by digging wells in most
of the islands. and the food supply is
limited to cocoanuts. the edible pam
danus. and fish The Gilbertese boys
in our schools as Kusaie, after enjoy
ing the abundant fresh water at Ku-
sale. rivers of it to drink and swim
in, and the relatively varied and
abundant food supply, really suffered
much hardship when they went back
10 their own islands. with nothing but
salt water TO battle in and wash their
clothing, the brackish water to drink,
and the narrow and meager dietary.
SCANTY WATER SUPPLY.
ION Ocean Island the water supply
is a matter of prime Importance. The
only natural source of supply grows
out of the coral formation of the is
land. The coral Is porous and contains
great cavities. into which the rainfall
of the island, about twenty-four inches
a year. percolates. These cavities are
about hundred feet below the sur
face and reached by a tortuous pas
sage, slippery and difficult. and which
can only be reached by the use Of
torches. This supply was large enough
for the four hundred people who form
ed the population of the island before
the discovery of the phosphate de-
posts and the Introduction of so large
AA additional population. The phos-
