In the AdUertiser of last week is an ar
ticle in referring to Rev. J. s. Green of Ma
kawao, who is an occasional correspondent
of this paper. The article in question
bears the usual characteristics of the per-
sonal references frequently made by that
paper, to those who do not agree with the
principles from time to time advocated in
its columns. So far, however, as the per-
sonal allusions are concerned, we shall
leave Mr.. Green to deal with the AdUeti-
ser as he sees proper, but in regard to the
statement that Mr.. Harris understood
from the letter, that Mr. Green endorsed
him and his arguments" and the inference
drawn that Mr. Green had expressed an
opinion therein in regard to Chinese i'm
migrants, we would refer to the letters in
question, which will show that no word
has ever been said by Mr.. Green through
the columns of this paper, or any other on
the subject of Chinese labor, except in the
letter referred to by the AdUertiSer. The
subject under discussion, when extracts
from the letters from Mr. Green were read
in the Assembly, was the Master and Ser
want Law, which applies alike to the peo-
pie of all nationalities who have bound
themselves under its provisions. The per
sonal observation of the writer of the let
ter went to prove that in a district where

disease and death prevailed to an alarm
ing extent, those who were employed un-
der the Master and Servant law, enjoyed
an almost entire immunity from the pre-
vailing epidemic, and the venerable phi
lanthropist, who has devoted his life to the
good of the people, saw and was willing
TO give his testimony to the salutary
influence of the system, upon the people.


1t is singular thing that the theoreti-
cal philanthropists of the metropolis are
blind to the fact that many of the most
industrious and valuable of our native
population are employed under the law
which they consider to be so obnoxious !;
and that they are not only so employed,
but that they are that part of the popula-
ton to whom we are to look for the per-
petuity of the race. They always send
their sympathies out for the poor deluded
Chinese, who are induced, as they say, by
false representations to leave their luxu-
riousll homes, where they get from fifty
cents to two dollars per month for their la
Dor, from which they have to clothe and feed
themselves, and are brought here, are paid
four dollars per month and found, and re-
ceive good treatment at the hands of their
employers. Here is where the AdoertiSer
made the mistake in regard to the express
sions of Mr. Green, in his letter. He mere
ly said that the people employed on plan
tations in his district were healthy, while
among those unemployed, great many
were sick, and the inference was drawn
that seeing such was to be the case, he as
well as many other good men and
true philanthropists, looked upon a sys-
TEN which makes the people industrious
and happy as a good one. There is not
quite so much sentiment in Mr.. Green's
view of the case as in that of some others,
but there is much more sense.

The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing word in behalf of the local
press. Let it have a careful and con-
siderate reading:


"Nothing is more common than to
hear people talk of what ley pay
newspapers for advertising, ETC., as so
much given in charity. Newspapers,
by enhancing the value of property in
their neighbOrhOOd, and giving the To-
cality in which they are published a
reputation abroad, benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchants or
real estate owners, thrice the amount
yearly of the meagre sum they pay for
their support. Besides every public spir
tied citizen has laudable pride in hav-
ing a paper Of which he is not asham-
ed, even though he should pick it up
in New York or Washington.


A gOod-looking, thriving sheet helps
property, gives character to its local
ity, and in many respects is a desirable
convenience. If from any cause the
matter in the local or editorial columns
should not meet your standard, do not
cast it aside and pronounce it good for
nothing, until you are satisfied that
there has been no more labor bestowed
upon it than is paid for. If you want
good readable sheet it must be sup
ported. And it must not be supported
in a spirit of charity either, but be-
cause you feel a necessity to support it.
The local press is the power that
moves the people,"

held at Poughkeepsie, New York.
Among the resolutions was one, in
which the sable brethern declare that
I'VE will give to negroes voting the
Democratic ticket no protection or
shelter in our houses and places oil busi-

of our race forever" This is what
negroes call impartial suffrage" ," This
is the way in which the negroes of New
York exhibit their capacity for self
government. II negro will vote the
Radical ticket without thought or re-
Election, he is entitled to protection,
shelter and business consideration. If,
however, he votes the Democratic ticket
all houses and place Of business are to
be closed against him, and he is to be
hunted like wild beast This is negro
action, founded upon Radical advice.
Are a race of people fit to have voice
in this government which can thus be
led and manipulated?

The question of aiding private associations
in the construction of railroads or other i'm
provements is prominent one before
the people and courts of this State at the
present time. Our late Legislature became
so demoralized on this question, and SEEM
ingly in the complete power Of greedy, grasp
ing monopolsts and would-be monopolists as
70 threaten the ruin of large portion of the
counties, and but for the timely interposition
of Governor Haight, backed by few hon


est and independent Senators, would have
accomplished the purposes so far as its pow
er extended. The only question outside Of
expediency to be considered is the power Of
one man to vote away anothers property for
that which is not legitimate governmental
expenses. No more monstrous proposition
could be made than to propose to authorize a
mere majority of any community to vote
away the property Of the minority for private
purposes, and yet, this is the whole question
at issue Upon this question the Democra-
cy took its stand at the foundation of the
Government, and there it must remain, to
be worthy of its name and lineage. The De
mocracy have always contended for stric,
construction of the organic laws of both Ma
tional and State Governments, while the op-
position have as persistently contended for a
latitudinous construction of Constitutions. A
case is now pending IN the Supreme Court
which arose in Stockton, which will settle
the whole question, so far as this Supreme
Court is concerned, but not so far as the peo-
pie and taxpayers are affected in the future.
-Four of the Supreme Court Judges are there
rs Democrats, placed there because they
were believed to hold to the doctrines OF
strict construction, and if they do not so hole


N this case the party will simply have made
lmistake in electing them, and must remedy
the error at the first opportunity. General
McC Connel maintained in his argument Of
ihis case that the Legislature held all powers
not granted to the other branches Of the
Government or expressly reserved to the peo-
pie, while the true doctrine is, that all pow
ars not granted by the Constitution are
reserved to the people. We do not propose
here to enter into general discussion of the
question, but to simply say in so many words
that that Judge who decides that the MAORI
ty of any community can vote away the prop
erty of the minority for private purposes, and
that there are no restraints upon the powers
Of the Legislature except the prohibitions
named in the Constitution, is neither Dem
ocrat nor a safe man on the Supreme bench.

and we know that while with the lower

growing sympathy and mutual service.

We still ycarn for n little child to love, and

that when our children growup their place

that boy or girl in our daughters arms

the earthly home or from the heavenly
