Most Of the Democratic papers 0

Most Of the Democratic papers o.
Iowa made great haste to deny that
LETTER ever uttered the "dog is bet
ter than the nigger" speech, as soor
as that speech was resurrected and
published. In view Of which denial
and the face of the fact that the Dem
ocratic leaders everywhere are trying
to impress upon the people that they
have acquiesced in the results of the
war and the justice Of the principles
which lay at the foundation of the
Republican party previous to that
struggle, it is somewhat awkward
that the Ottumwa Democrat, one oi
the most influential Democratic pa
pers in Iowa, should have no more
discretion than to speak out in school
and declare that the party occupies
to-day the same position toward the
slavery question it always occupied;
that slavery was blessing, and abo-
lition curse to the country; that, In
effect, the Democratic party would to-
day, if it had the upper hand in ma
tional affairs, put the negro back
where he was before the war. Take
this as sample ut,erance, from the
DemocrM of last Thursday: Though
the Democratic party has, s,through the
action Of cowardly leaders, seemingly
accepted the condition Of things, vet
to day, the masses o. that great and
powerful organization regard the ff-
teenth amendment AS worth no more
than the paper upon which it is pin,
tel and that when the action of the
conspirators who forced it upon the
country has been reviewed by an an
impartial tribunal, it will be swept
out Of existence as summarily as it
was ushered in." There is no doubt
the Democrat speaks here just what
it means, and gives voice to the Dem
tcratic sentiment but it is equally
apparent that it has let its honesty
get the better of its iudgment.-Er.

THE WATER SUPPLY AGAIN.

For drinking purposes there is q vast difference
between spring water, which issues directly out
of the ground, and the water Of n river, running
stream, or lake. That Of the former is pure
imbued perhaps with some harmless or beneficial
mineral the latter is generally tainted
with organic matter, held in solution more or
less perceptible. The results Of innumerable ex-
periments are on record to prove this, only one
of which however we have at hand for reference.
\ scientific commission in England reported in
the LanceO says of the water of Loeb Katrine,
taken from one of the mains of the city of Glas-
cow, that one million parts contained putrescible
organic matter corresponding to 0.l3 parts of
ammonia, and the result surprised every one.
The water Of New River, from which n part Of
London is supplied, showed 0.09, while that of
the thames, higher up, exhibited O.20 parts.
When the present reservoir was built, some
fifteen years ago, from which Honolulu is sup
piled, the water to fill it came entirely from q
fine perennial spring, that bursts ont of the
ground some twenty feet above the bed of the
Nuuanu stream and a few yards above the re-
s~ervoir. Fora least two years after the reservoir
was built and the pipes laid, this spring was
found to be ample for the requirements of the
city. But it was ascertained that in dry seasons,
the spring decreased SO much in volume that a
supplementary supply was necessary from the
stream. A ditch was therefore dug, tapping the
stream just above the Kapena fall, and leading
down to the reservoir. This was however never
intended to be used except in seasons when,
from the Iaucity of rainfall in the valley, the
spring ran so low as to become inadequate for
the supply of the city. But the expedient having
once been brought into use, those in charge of
the water works have somehow continued to run
the often water into the reservoir, without regard
to circumstances. And so, whether the season
be wet or dry. and the spring flowing its full
volume or not, the water of the stream that
comes down through the cow-pasture is constant
Iy pouring its volume of mud and organic matter
into the reservoir, to discOlor and vitiate the pure
water of the spring. Here We have the explana-
ton of t-e plentiful deposit OF soil and sediment
thatkYe find in our water containers every day,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1875-09-18

some sapient mdthiHi, writing for the Gazette,
exercises his punY power in trying to ridicule
the idea of the government providing a new
inter-island steamer. We can wish such a would
be marplOt no worse punishment than to be con-
demned to travel from island to island on a
sailing vessel for the remainder of his days
His TRADE is destitute of argument, and is there
fore unanswerable, but it is made mp of inuendoes,
of lamentations about the del assed state of
business (Which however he shows to be brisk
for the sailing coasters who are to be 4 frozen
out') and doubts as TO whether we shall ever get
reciprocity, and therefore he pronounces it absurd
and unnecessary to build 4 steamer. If anything
might be considered surprising that appears in
the Gazette, it would be matter for astonishment
that the editor could admit such senseless twaddle
into its columns.
1t must be n very small and iEconsequential
minority that to-day can be found to oppose the
project Of building n new steamer for the inter
island trade-and building it here, and at once.
The arguments in favor Of the enterprise are so
obvious and sound that it seems like stating self
evident propositions to repeat them. If business
is dull, nothing is more calculated to kill it out
right than to cnrtail our means of rapid commu-
~nication between different parts Of the country.
Placing a commodious and reasonably fast steamer
on the route between Honolulu and the other
ports of the group is like making 4 good road
where before was a comparatively impossible
desert. The proposition that good roads enhance
the wealth and promote the p osperity of any
country, is as old as ciVilizatio-- itself, and the
principle holds good here. Quick transit as
sured, bringing the producer within reach Of a
market, is that which only will stimulate agri-
cultural enterprises. 1t is often declared, and
with truth, that the resources of these islands
are but in the infancy of their development.
Inter-island steam navigation must be the active
agent in promoting that development. The ad-
ministration which shall actively identify itself
with this enterprise, will have given a new and
abiding impetus to the prosperity of the whole
country.

BIRTH.
FROM. THE COLONIES.

The CifV of Melbourne arrived yesterday, a day
ahead Of schedule time, reporting thirteen and Q
half DAYS from Auckland. We are indebted to the
Purser for files.
The prineipal item Of news is the murder OF Com.
Goodenough, Of ii. b. NJ. ship Pearl, and two of
the seameu. at Santa Cruz Island, on the 18th Of
Au0ust last. The Commodore landed on the island,
accompanied by some officers and men, in hopes Of
consolidating the natives and opening a friendly in
tercourse with them. In this he had apparently
succeeled, until Preparations were made to embark,
when an unprovoked attack was made by the natives,
and the Commodore and 8 seamen were wounded with
arrows. The three deaths were from tetanus. This
is the game island at which Bishop Patteson was
murdered four years since.
The Commodore determined, after returning to
the ship, that he would sheT his disapproval OF this
treachery by simply burning the houses OF the VII
lace near which the attack was made, and gave most
exnlieit orders that no life should be taken, directing
blank cartridges to be fired to warn the natives away
previous to the men landing.
By this arrival we have telegraphic news from
Europe to Aug. q, as follows:
August IS.-The insurrection on the northern
frontier Of Bothnia is Of a serious character. ~
600 Turks are operating against the insurgents at

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER Is.

WE ARE pleased to be able to note n new en-
teTPrize on foot-a public Improvement to be
eTTied out by private parties. 4 joint stock
company is being formed for the purpose Of
bringing the water in pipes from the spring Of
kanewai, on the plain above KaInoiliili, down to
the seaside. The spring named is n never falling
one, and the water boils out in abundance aud
OF remarkable purity and GOODNESS, from an over
hanging rock VI ancient lava formation. Ii is
located on the land Of II. Ii. Ruth Keelikolani.
and was a iavOrite resort as n bathing place by
the chiefs in the time Of Kamehameha 1. This
Suburban water-wOrks project is in the hands of
a gentleman Of known energy and public spirit,
and when accomplished it will greatly enhance
the value Of land at Waikiki for seaside resi-
dences- AT present, those who GO there with
their families TO spend the heated term are com
PEELED to daily bring their supplies Of drinking
water from the city.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1875-09-18

and more abundlntly after n fall of rain. All
this, however, Is unnecessary, and a. has been
stated, might be avoided by using only the water
from the spring, except Of course in the emer-
genoy Of a dry season.
We have more than once heard the inquiry
made as to whether, in laying the main pipes of
the water supply for a city, there was any pro-
vision made by which the probable accumuia-
tions Of mud or other matter in the pipes might
from time to time be removed. On inquiry We
learn, that when our water works were con-
structed and the main pipes laid down. the point
in question was not overlooked. There are two
places on the main that runs DOWN Nunanu street,
where are placed what are called g silt-traps,"
being cast-irOn chambers attached to the pipe
below ats level, into which by the eddy Of the
water as it passes along. the mud and the more
weighty of any organic matter in solution would
naturally settle and be retained. Connected
with this : trap - is a pipe and tap. by which,
at proper intervals, the deposit can be drawn off.
Besides these contrigances for catching the silr,
the mains at the lower end Of Nuuanu, King aud
Beretania streets We're provided with gates, for
tue obvious purpose OF removing any accumukl-
tions of mud, etc, by occasionally letting the
water flow through. But it is asserted that sue
cessive superintendent of the water works have
failed to attend to the duty of thus cleansing the
pipes,-if indeed they were ever aware Of the
facilities provided for accomplishing that object.
During the whole period of say fifteen years that
has elapsed since the works We're completed, no
one remembers of an instance when the silt
traps have been drawn off or the pipes rinsed
out through the end gates. The one duty which
the superintendent have attended to thoroughly
and promptly, has been the collection of water
rates.
How long, let us ask, would such n state of
things be allowed to exist without a radical re-
form being demanded by rate-payers were the
Honolulu water works owned and managed by a
private company or corporatiOnP Not n week
no, nor Il single day. People who had paid for
pure water and got instead such a compound as
generally comes through our pipes would, as a
rule, refuse TO pay any more, and we opine that
n court of justice would give damages against
such a company for obtaining money under false
pretences, and perhaps under the nuisance law
also, for maintaining that which is injurious to
the public health. And can it be that the Min
istry, who are responsible for the acts or the
neglect of the superintendent of the water works,
are not TO be held as strictly accountable in this
important matter as would be a private corpor-
alton?
In this connection it may be remarked, that
public opinion would have been less cOndemna-
tory of the so-called Board of Health than it is
now, had it's members devoted n mOdicum of
their time and talents to the subject of pure
water for the city, instead of hunting up un-
Licensed or parchment-less doctors.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1875-09-18

The GG@ene pretends to have discovered,
through the researches Of q correspondent, that
the Board Of Health, as now constituted, is an
illegal body but the correspondent, with more
fairness than the editor, credits the ADVERTISER
with having pointed out the fact. The came
correspondent however makes two incorrect state
ments. lie says we should have limited our
assertion as to the illegal organization of the
Board to that Of the present reign only. A ref
erance to our files shows that the Board consisted
OF five members in 1871, and that the ADVERTISER,
IN June OF that year, called attention 10 the fact
Of ats illegality-of course, without eliciting any
notice from the then government. But on the
reorganization of the departments under the last
reign, the Board was made to consist OF but three
members, in accordance with the statute. Under
the present reign, it was again increased to FIVE.
The other error into which the correspondent
has fallen is the statement that the present so
called Board of Health are not I" responsible for
the persecution" -[prosecution-o DIR. Moha-
beer. The fact is that the prosecuting officer
distinctly stated in court and elsewhere, that the
prosecution of that case was by the special di-
rection Of the Board of Health.
While on this subject it may be well to correct
another misstatement Of the Gazette, to the effect
that the Board has been making 81 efforts to sup
press the selling of medicines without a license. -
1t is the practice OF medicine without license,
including the giving away of medicine, that the
Board is anxious to suppress.
