I nu ni n 101 sole lis C ANSWER IS MADE 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. Sold by all dealers in medicine.

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.
