THE Tribune talks contemptuously Of
the O'Conor moyement-only six delegates
having been reported present at the Mis-
souri, State Convention. This is certainly
not a very promising indication. But it is
not for a Greeley journal to make merry
over it, as that party, out Of the twelve
State elections, have carried but one, as
shown by the following !:

meut declines to go on with the work, private
parties can doubtless be found willing to carry 1t
on, if permission be obtained.
In this, as in every other project of general
benefit, there ought to be no hesitancy in push
ing forward the work. A judicious and econOm-
ical expenditure of the public revenues for sub
stdatial improvements, such as roads, harbors
wbarves bridges, public buildings and water
works, should be viewed as permanent tnreSt-
z7ents increasing the capital of the country. The
more of such improvements we possess the firmer
will be our credit, and the higher our standing as
an independent people.
But, it may be asked by those living on the
other islands, " Why spend all the revenues at
Honolulu" No country can prosper without
having at least one prosperous commercial and
financial center. Whatever improves the metrop-
oils, by the law Of reciprocity will improve eUeTy
tolcn and hamlet Of The group. We are not do
ing what we ought or can do to develop the la
tent resources of the country. II the Legislature
will move in this matter. and sanction liberal
and Iar-Seeng policy Of Improvements authorizing
loans, if necessary, but solely for improvements
throughout the group, We shall soon see capital
and population attracted hither-the two ele-
ments in which we are most sadly deficient.
If new water-works are needed, authorize their
construction at once. As an investment, IL t1W
pay. even on borrowed capital. If dry-dock is
needed for the large class of steamers and ships
now visiting this port, let US go 10 work and pre-
pare for it authorize its construction either by
Government, or what Is better by private CAPT
tai if it can be induced TO enter tn field. 1t may
take FIVE or even ten years to build IT. but it will
be ready none too soon for the lines oil iron
steamships which within that time will make this
their coalng station in their transits across this
ocean. If another inter-isand steamer is required
for the increasing travel and trade authorize its
by private or public funds. But in
these, as in every other expenditure, insist on the
StricteSt economy. No man in office or out of it,
has any right to become rich, as did Boss Tweed
and his confederates in New York, at the public
expense. H.M.W.

A Meeting of the Subscribers to the

House, the 9th inst, the undersigned were ap-
pointed Permanent Committee to solicit subscrip-
tions.
The Hospital is now giving relief to about sixty
indoor patients, native and foreign and large num-
Der of outdoor dispensary patients. The expenses
owing to the large number of inmates, of whom but
few pay anything, have been large exceeding the lib
eral appropriations by the legislature that there is
a considerable debt to provide for.
The original number of Life Members residing in
removal to other parts and by death been much re-
duced, and at the present time there no annual
members so thatit particularly desirable that those
who can afford it, should by contributing fifty dollars
or upwards OF one tine, make themselves life mem
bers but any that may be given will be thank
fully received and properly acknowledged by either
of us.
For general information we publish below Article
of the Charter:
Every person who shall have subscribed for two
consecutive years previous to general meeting of
the Corporation for the election of officers and trus
tess, sum not less than ten dollars and less than
fifty dollars, to the funds of the said Corporation

WaIer-wOrks and Public Improve
menIs generally.

Mr. EDITOR When the Gazette and AdUer-
hser are agreed about any policy Of the Admins
tration, as they appear to be about the Water
works, and the necessity Of more water for Homo.
lulu, there can be no to doubt that its policy
is not far from the correct one to pursue. The
question raised as to how larger and more per.
manent supply can be obtained, which shall insure
faction TO citizens and greater security 10 case of
fire, deserves attention. At present one small
reservoir is all that our city of ten or twelve
thousand inhabitants has TO rely on. and this is
liable TO be cut of by accident or drought
IL another reservoir is to be constructed. it
seems wisest TO seek new source of water sup
ply, which can be found in Manoa Valley where
nature has provided spring and stream more
than Is necessary for the present wants of the in
habitants Of that valley, and which has never been
known to fail 10 our dr;est seasons This water
can be readily brought by pipes on to the high
ground back of Punahou-an elevation sufficient
to insure its distribution in any part of Honolulu
proper.
The advantages attending this change in our
present mode of obtaining water will be OBJ
vious to all. Not only will the city have an
abundant supply for years to come, and be doubly
protected in case Of fire or an accident to the
reservoir but the entire plain east of the city will
at once be able to secure irrigation privileges.
and population will Immediately be attracted
thither, largely increasing the public revenue from
this source. A bOuutiful supply Of pure and cheap
water does more than anything else to attract
population to city, to improve its streets PARKS,
and residences to vehealth, and consequently in
dustrious habits to its citizens; and more espe-
cialy to encourage the erection of manufactures
in which we are as yet very deficient The
cost of introducing water from Mauoa including
the erection Of a new reservoir. can be calculated
to within few hundred dollars and If Govern |
