Here is an instance of a man who has committed no crime against God or man being deprived of his liberty and sent to associate with criminals. Just before the trial the man removed his coat and showed a torn shirt sleeve and bruises up on his arm. indicative of illtreatment. And this occured months after that country was annexed to the United States. Last fall they imported into Hawaii some people from one of the provinces of Germany. and about 80 of these contract laborers were sent to a plantation. They refused to work. claiming they had been deceived when they made their contracts. The court. under the Hawaiian law. ordered them to return to the plantation to which their contract had been assigned.
