controversy at that time. a bitter
newspaper controversy as the testi-
mony is, waged between the Jill on
the one hand and the Shinpo, Jill
and Chronicle on the other, and they
were each trying their best to down
each other,--just the same as the
, Advertiser and the Bul letin,
just exactly the same, Just exactly
the same: and the Jill. in order to
express completely its opinion of Mr..
Sheba, that he was a sneak, gave
this poem.
Different in Japanese.
We should not consider II in good
form; We should consider II not at
all proper thing to put in our
newspapers and we. English speak
ing people, have no sympathy with
that kind of thing. But this was
not an English paper; It was a Japa-
| nese paper. II is their way of look
ing at things, and I submit that II
was no terrible thing; not at all as
IL anyone had actually gone to the
little thing and said these cruel or
heartless things about her papa.
Now as to the sycophants OF Ka-
huku, we are responsible! 1t seems
that the laborers on Kahuku had a
meeting-Mind you. the Kahuku
Higher Wage Association having alb
solutely nothing whatever to do with
the Honolulu Higher Wage Associ-
ation-They had a meeting, and at
that meeting they elected certain of
these sycophants or sneaks, and they
went further and did what they had
no right to do; they said. you must
get off the plantation In three days,
and to show you that we are sorry
for you we resolved that we will give
each one of you tear money to the
amount Of 5000" Now they had
no right to do that. II we had only
had Mr.. Kinney there at the time
to advise them that this was very
wicked and very terrible thing for
them to do; that they had no right
to order these people of the planta-
ton. then ! have no doubt that
things would have been different;
but unfortunately that learned gen.
tleman was not there; unfortunately
these people were ignorant and did
what doubtless they thought they
had right to do. but which the,
had no right to do.
Now then, let 1t be granted tina,
that was terrible thing for then
to do.-how does that affect thi,
case? Just let us understand eacf
other. We are not being charged
with false imprisonment or any
charge OF that nature: we are no,
being charged with assault and bat
terry; we are not being charged with
making these men leave the Kahuku
plantation. We are being charged
with conspirlng together to undo OF
. to prevent the five plantations named
, from carrying on their business, anc
conspiring to impoverish them. Nov
IL this unlawful act of sending thes,
, three men--for they were sent from
, the plantation-is traceable to +;
