THE PASSING JIOUK
Section 1. Chapter lOi of the Act
passed by Congress in ISS-j, regarding
the importation of alien contract labor
ers is as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any per
son, company, partnership, or corpora
tion, in any manner whatsoever, to
prepay the transportation or in any
vay assist or encourage the importa
tion or immigration of any alien or
aliens, any foreigner or foreigners, into
the United States, its Territories, or the
District of Columbia, under contract or
agreement to perform labor or service
of any kind. j
"Section 2. That all contracts or
agreements, expressed or implied, pa
role or special, which may hereafter be
made by and between any person,
company, partnership, or corporation,
and any foreigner or foreigners, alien
or aliens, to perform labor or service
or having reference to the performance
of labor or service, by any person in
the United States, its Territories, or
the District of Columbia, previous to
the migration or importation of the
person or persons, whose labor or ser
vice is contracted for, into the United
States, shall be utterly void and of no
effect."
The provisions of the act are clear,
and leave no loop hole for judicial con
struction. The Commissioners of Immi
gration are empowered to decide the
condition of the immigrant, and the
only appeal is to the Secretary of the
Treasury. This is an expensive pro
ceeding, and the poor emigrant is not
able to make it.
On November 21st, a female immi
grant from Strasburg, Germany, was
refused admittance, in the port of New
York by the Immigrant Commissioner,
on the ground that she was likely to
l.l ir rhartre. She was
brought before Judge Lacombe, one of
the ablest of the Circuit judges of the
Federal courts. The Judge said that he
could not overrule the decision of the
Commissioner. The following is a brief
account of the proceeding:
Mr. Gottlieb, who appeared for the
woman, said that she had relatives in
hie nitv who. would see tnat sne cnu
not become a public charge, and he
declared that the woman ought to be
set iree. Judge Lacombe said that the
immigration Commissioners had decid
ed that she should be deported, and
that he could do nothing in the case.
"If the Commissioners," he said,
"wish to order an alien drawn,
quartered, and chucked overboard they
could do so without interference."
"But she has money," protested Mr.
Gottlieb.
"That makes no difference," said
Judge Lacombe; "not even if she had
$100,000. If Baron Rothschild came
over here in the steerage as an im
migrant and the Commissioners decid
ed that it was likely that he would be
come a public charge they could de
port him. The courts have decided
that over and over again. The only
thing for you to do is to apply to the
Secretary of the Treasury."
Mr. Gottlieb said he would do so.
The young woman is said to have an
uncle in this city, Ignatz Bobb of 1105
Lexington Avenue. She paid her own
wav to this country, and says her
father is Superintendent of the largest
hospital in Strasburg.
Judge Lacombe is conservative, and
his remarks from the Bench, show that
he regarded the law as unjust in sev
eral ways.
These laws will be soon in operation
nere. Under them, a Commissioner of
Immigration may reject any imported
laborers from Japan or elsewhere, if in
his opinion, they are within the stat
ute, and the courts cannot reverse his
decision. The bearing of these laws on
our plans to supply our plantations
with laborers should be carefully con
sidered.

Col. Bryan does, not relinquish his

So far Hawaii is getting quicker at
tention at Washington than any Ter

United States.
In "undertaking to establish garri
sons from Manila to Cuba it is found
out that an army of even 100,000

The sailors who shipped on the
steamer City of Columoia last August
and who have not been able to draw a
cent of wages, certainly have an Al

Admiral Dewey disclaims any inti

says:
ship Massachusetts must go out of
commission and that practically a new
keel and several new frames must be
.supplied to her before she will be fit
for sea. This apprehension has been
caused by an incomplete examination
made by naval constructors and divers.
which showed that the keel is buckled
for two hundred and forty feet, and
the frames are twisted in aoout seven
teen different places in that distance.
These injuries are the result of the ac
cident last Saturday, wnen the vessel
struck a mass of rock near Diamond
reef and drove over it. :avai omcers

the big ship did not sink.

Airuinaklo's agents at Paris found
that they could not slip under the tent,
so stood outside and yelled at the
show. The "solemn protest" was over
worked by Spain and should be re
tired. The contempt of Court incident is a
most deplorable happening for several
reasons. There is much sympathy for
Mr. Davis, but there is realization of
the settled principle that the dignity
and integrity of a Court is assumed
and should first of all be defended by
bar members.
DEMOCRATIC PLANS.

Mr. Sewall's Organ has been vigor
ously applying the rod to the backs
cf those -who did not vigorously urge
abandonment of neutrality in May last
This rod takes the shape of a cat-o'
nine tails, the thongs of which are
leaded with "cowardice" and "treason."
As brother Dillingham appears to be
one of those who did not urge the
abandonment of neutrality, if the Or
gan's interview with him, published on
May Gth is correct, he, also, must sub
mit to the Organ's lash. Is he suffer
ing with Christian fortitude? Brother
Dillingham, in all matters not con
nected with the affairs of the Oahu
Railway Company, is justly regarded
as a devout and spiritually minded
man. Does he manifest humility and
contrition under the lash of this cat-o'-nine
tails? Does he confess that it
is done for his own good? When the
leaden slugs of "cowardice" and "trea
son" and "wavering" are buried in his
back, does he feel that the infliction
is deserved, and does he suffer with
resignation and repentance?
The old Westminster Catechism,
describing the just punishment of Job,
for his sins, declares:
"Job kissed the rod,
And blessed God."
Does Brother Dillingham "kiss the
rod" of the Only Candidate?
Under ordinary circumstances he is
disposed to he independent and aggres-
