KA LEO O KA LAHUI.
"E Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono."
ON DIT.
That the Cantonier road system is very successful in Europe, but our Minister of Interior does not seem to know how to handle it.
That it will be up-hill work for a new P. M. G. to repair all the errors and misfits of his not very popular predecessor.
That G. B. would show to better advantage at some other occupation than the contemptible villifying of the young man he has sought to victimize.
That the skunks in government service will all be scalped on April first.
That the S. F. Examiner “leader of the N. R. Party” don’t lead, and the party won’t be lead by him.
That the Minister of Interior proposes reform – beginning from himself, and that he will redeem past pledges and promises, since the exit of the trio that blocked his good intentions.
That the Port Surveyor has got such a keen scent that the price of opium goes tripping up.
That Samuel, the new man, is far ahead of John and his coacher; of the late defunct – ahem!
That the late Cabinet admits that Queen High is ahead of four knaves.
That Princess Kaiulani will be awfully English, you know, unless her education is polished off in the United States.
That Paul was feted and petted by the opaque beauties of Japan.
That the seeds of treason and revolution are not yet dead in Honolulu, but the Queen is still the leading trump, - affidavits and secret cabels to the contrary.
That there will be a new consul appoined to San Francisco, who don’t chew his cud and who knows something about Hawaii.
That the great Freddy is a successful wrecker of horse races, boat races, ministers and political parties and he ought to retire with the title of jigadier, which he fairly earned at his phantone revolution last year.
RIVETING THE CHAINS.
The Supreme Court has rendered a decision in favor of the legality of the coolie labor system. Art 11 of our Constitution says, “Involuntary servitude is forever prohibited” which if honestly interpreted is a prohibition of coolie slavery; yet the Supreme Court or a majority of the Judges fail to see the inconsistency. It is a fact that our coolie system holds out inducements to recruiting agents to act crooked in enticing men on board ship and on pretence of signing agreements to contracts of which the laborer can have a very meagre knowledge of the leading features. Take the purchasing power of a dollar in the matter of food and clothing for instance in Japan and Hawaii, and what does the Jap laborer know about it – at home – and who can question his statement that he was misled. What a pretty picture South Sea kidnapping business presented, and yet when a case was brought forward some years ago, in which the parties were caught, flagran’e deliciu, the decree of the Court was that it was a case of illegal detention! This fanciful and illogical judgment imposed a trifling fine on the man-stealing association of planters; but left the victim of the outrage – who was one of hundreds – without any redress, to be eight years at the mercy of his kidnappers, in order that the sugar dividends of some pious official might not suffer. Alas for consistency!! It is well known that the terms of the contracts are not adhered to by the masters, the men are transferred like cattle, from one slave-owner to another, and that they may be imprisoned for life for refusing to work, and the lower courts are daily engaged in fining and imprisoning laborers, much to the satisfaction of the planters.
In these lower courts the arguments of counsel for the laborer is ignored and the mere word of the planter is supreme. The Court holds that the system has been growing for forty years and ought not therefore to be disturbed. Moreover, the Hawaiian Government being a party to this infamy in human traffic, there is no law which the masters are bound to respect – not even the formality of signing, acknowledging or stamping a contract is deemed necessary
Why should the sugar industry be hedged round with a cast-iron fence, in which “manacles” – “dungeon” – are the ornamental insignia, only toned off by “fine” and “imprisonment.” Can it not employ free labor?
To his everlasting honor, be it recorded, that Judge Dole dissents from the decision of his colleagues.
The matter is of importance enough to print the judgment of the Court, which we will give at an early date and will resume our comments on the subject.
