Mi Railway Company Replies
to tie Government.
SOME CHARGES LODGED
Alleged That the Public Desires to
Create a Monopoly for Itself Ar
gument On Harbor Rights.
In the case of the Minister of the
Interior, vs. the Oahu Railway and
Land Company as left pending by the
demurrer decision of Judge Stanley
filed in the Circuit Court a few days
ago, an answer has been filed by the
defendant corporation. The reply in
cludes a series of charges covering
about a dozen long pages of typewrit
ing. Many direct alegaticns against
the Government are lodged. Following
are excerpts from the answer:
"Defendant admits that the Hawai
ian Government has started to make
certain wharves in the 'harbor of Hono
lulu and plans further wharves there
in, but doubts .whether the same or the
plans thereof can be characterized as
improvements to said harbor, and al
leges that the improvements and plans
of improvement adopted by the officials
of the Hawaiian Government, so far
as the public has been admitted to a
knowledge thereof, indicate that the
Hawaiian Government is adopting
plans that will destroy a large amount
of available wharf room in the harbor
of 'Honolulu and defendant charges
that the plans laid out are without
authority or sanction of law sor the
Legislature and rest in the mere inten
tion or hope of the present administra
tion and may be abandoned at any
time, and that such plans indicate that
the main purposes thereof is to reach
and destroy the defendant's right to ac
quire any wharf room in the harbor
of Honolulu and to reach and take
away from the defendant its freightage
business in Honolulu harbor, which
the defendant charges the Hawaiian
Government covets for its own uses
and purposes, and that the alleged
wharf improvements if carried out
would do little to meet the real re
quirements of shipping, commerce and
trade, though it would accomplish, if
the Court does not intervene, the seiz
ure and absorption of the trade and
absorption of the trade and wharfage
business built up by the defendant cor
poration upon the strength of its char
ter, the railroad laws of this country
and a special contract made between
he 'Hawaiian Government and the de
fendant corporation.
"This defendant denies that the
wharf land of the Hawaiian Govern
ment according to plana given out to
the public, if so taken will be taken
under any powers vested in it by aw.
And while admitting that the Hawai
ian Government proposes to take all
the wharf room of the harbor and to
create a monopoly thereof in behalf of
the Republic, denies that the purpose of
taking such wharf room is to erect
and maintain public wharves, and fur
ther denies that the wharf property
named in the complaint is necessary
to be taken by the Hawaiian Govern
ment for the purposes of erecting
and maintaining wharves, defendant
alleging the truth to be that the pur
pose of the Hawaiian Government in
shutting out all citizens, private par
ties, and corporatiions from access to
the harbor ct Honolulu except over
wharves constructed and owned by
the Government is primarily to secure
the wharf trade now enjoyed by the
defendant corporation and by others
having interest in and owning wharf
room on said harbor, and defendant
denies that it is the purpose or plan of
the Government to utilize even the
wharf lands that it now has in its un
disputed possession and control, and
in this connection defendant alleges
that the plaintiff are arranging their
plans for the exclusive occupation of
Honolulu harbor so as to destroy the
rights of this defendant corporation to
any harbor front thereon without the
inconvenience or expense of compen
sation to the defendant corporation for
damages which would result to it from
such exclusion.
"The defendant denies that the land
covered by said notice is being used for
public purposes or for the sailing, navi
gation and anchorage of vessels, but
says the' truth is that the only portion
of said land or right of way that is
put to any use, is that portion occupied
by the wharves and slips built and
used by defendant and a narrow right
of way thereto from Honolulu harbor
and that such use is exclusively by de
fendant, and that otherwise the land
condemned by the defendant corpora
tion consists, as the plaintiff's com
plaint alleges, cr unreclaimed and un
used land within the ebb and flow, but
too shallow for vessels.
"Defendant charges and says that
by virtue of laws and contracts it has
a vested power to acquire and cajoy
sufficient wharf room upon the harbor
of Honolulu, for the purposes cf the
business it is authorized to promote
and carry on under the laws raid con
tracts aforesaid.
"Defendant charges that any attempt
by the plaintiff or any other depart
ment of the Hawaiian Government in
the face of said contracts and law, to
shut out the defendant from the right
to acquire such wharf room as afore
said, is a breach of good faith cn the
part of the Hawaiian Government and
a repudiation of its contract obliga
tions and that the Hawaiian Govern
ment estopped in this form of equity
and good conscience and by law, from
accomplishing its purposes aforesaid
and to prevent defendant from con
demning the land and rights sought to
be condemned or otherwise to destroy
the charter, contract and legal rights
cf this defendant corporation."
A VIGOROUS BATTLE.
From the New Era, Greensburg.
The following is a straightforward
statement cf facts by a veteran of the
late war.
Squire John Castor, of Newport, In
diana, is the narrator, and an honest,
respected citizen he is too. He said:
"I have been troubled with rheuma
tism in all my joints, ever since I
went to the war. It was brought on
by exposure there. It came on me
gradually, and kept getting worse un
til I was unable to do any work. I
tried several physicians, but they did
me no good. They said my trouble
was rheumatism, resulting in disease
of the heart, and that there was no
cure for it. Nevertheless I had lived
and fought the disease for thirty years,
and did not intend to die, simply be
cause they said I must, so I hunted up
some remedies for myself, and finally
happened on Dr. "vVillanis Pink Pills.
I asked some of my neighbors about
the medicine, for it had been used by
several persons in the community, and
they recommended it very highly. I
procured a box. The pills helped me
right away, and I continued takins
them. I commenced taking them last
fall, and finished taking the sixth box
a few months ago. I am not bothered
with the rheumatism now, the medi
cine has cured me. I can niost cer
tainly recommended Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills."
These pills are not only good for
rheumatism, but are valuable for anv
disease that arises from impoverished
or bad blood. They do not act cn the
bowels.

Dear Sir:- The Secretary Disc Plow 1 pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. LIDGATE.
