The CldV and Lining the Basin,

The Water Committee is leading the
city pretty dance after clay to line
the basin, 1t does not want to adver
tise for proposals for its supply, but
asks to be allowed to buy it secretly.
Now, this is all wrong. There is no
doubt, twenty or thirty lots in this
neighborhood from which clay could
be dug. Many of the owners of these
lots would be be glad to sell them at
$1,000 an acre, and an acre would pro.
hsbly furnish all the clay the city
would want for many years. Lots
might be bought little way up the
Christiana perhaps for $500 an acre
and the clay boated. If bought in the
city by the acre, the land would some
day be worth as much as it cost, after
the clay was removed. In fact there
may be lots very near the basin that
could be bought. There Ia large body
Of land there for sale.
But the city had better contract with
some one to find the clay and put 1t on.
and finish up ono diO.saon Of the basin a
o time. The contractors should not be
paid until the work Is proved to be
.aatsr ttSst and we'll done.
When the Eighth street basin was
built, 1t was lined with bad clay; anc
the clay was put on before the new
made banks had settled, and of course
the settling of the earth cracked thc
clay; and the water leaked out as fas
as 1t was pumped in for two years.
Mr.. A. Pritchard might be referred t.
IN this matter.
A contact was finally made with &
man to find the clay and refine th,
basin for $1,000 to $4,000; and 1t hal
proved to be good job.
But the City Council should By al
means delay the completion of the lin
ing Of the basin until next spring, 81
that the banks may be we'll settled.

Bismarck and the German Reichstag.

Stirring times just row prevail in Germany. The
debates In the National Parliament are proceeding
with unusual Bismarck Is finding more
difficulty IN carrying out his home policy than he
did IN securing the defeat Of Austria and France in
the campaigns Of lSG6 and 1870. The cable daily
bring US some new cause for discord. At one time
II IL the arrest Of Won Amin. At another some
prominent member Of the Catholic hierarchy has
been sentenced to imprisonment or Punishment from
the country. Then, when a bill is introduced for es-
tablishing a National bank, there is 3 protest from
Deputies who belong to the minor principalities set
ting forth that o Berlin institution has been selected
for the Government patronage Bismarck Is realiz-
ing that IN order 70 carry ont the principles Of Ger
man unity As he understands them. he has under
full life.
1t was easy to depose kings, princes, grand dukes
and the other smaller fry Of German royalty who
stood IN the way Of unity for the Fatherland. The
German people showed no signs Of disapprobation
when Scbleswig was detached from Denmark, when
the power Of Austria was humbled, or when France
was forced to pay as the price for peace, a large in
demnity and give up Alsace and Lorraine. But now,
when Bismarck applies this same blood and iron
policy as it has been called. to the German people. he
hnds that 70 Prussianise Germany is indeed 8 tough
Job. Prussia, though now the controlling power Of
the German Empire, is not all Germany, and that is
where the trouble comes in. Bismarck has been
trained only in the Prussian political school. the
most absolute in type, perhaps, of ell the Continental
powers. In other parts Of Germany more liberal in
%stitutions and independent policies prevailed, as in
the old free towns Of Hamburg, Frankfort, and Luz
beck. The citizens of those districts outside Of Prus-
STA are not content that everything should be centred
at Berlin. They desired the unihcation of Germany,
not the domination of everything German by Prus-
sian institutions.
Bismarck, in the position he is now assuming, has
been compared TO Cardinal Wolsey, the favorite Of
Henry the Eighth, of England. Like Wolsey, he is
of humble origin. He has steadily advanced, until
he is now the principal man in Germany, as Wolsey
was in England. But it was the King who made
Wolsey, whereas it is Bismarck who made King
William an Emperor. 1t is known that the Emperor
William is not favorable to everything in Bismarck's
policy, but the Emperor, not the subject, has had to
give way. Bismarck, so far, has been the most sue
cessful diplomat and statesman of modern times, but
many think that he has now undertaken a task 10
which he must in the end be defeated, or the new
Germany will be reduced to the most absolute depot
ism of all thesgovernments on earth.-S. F. BuiiitiR.

Condition of the American Navy.

The annual report Of Secretary Robson, is in
some respects the most interesting one that has
been made by that Department since the war. 1t
shows the navy to be in a remarkably efficient con-
dition, both as regards the number Of vessels, their
armament and sea-going qualities. One year ago
The navy consisted Of les vessels OF all classes.
carrying l,269 guns exclusive Of howitzers. Since
that time there has been added 8 new steamers, 2
clipper vessels and l dispatch boat, and it has been
diminished by the sale Of 2 wooden and IL light
draught iron vessels, leaving at present l63 vessels,
with 1854 guns. OF the whole number 20 have
sail power only. and OF these 4 are to be placed at
the disposal Of State and local authorities as school
ships, under the Act Of Congress providing for
such disposition. Seven are in use as receiving
ships, 2 are old line-of-battle ships which have been
on the stocks many years and are in bad condition,
and can be used only for barracks or stationary
schools ships, leaving 5 which can be put to prac-
teal use or as store ships and surveying vessels.
The steam navy consists Of 1877 vessels Of all
classes and in a very good condition. Of this
number twenty-five are tugs, and with one or two
exceptions for yard purposes 81 are armed yes
sells and 2 are torpedo boats. leaving 70 steam
vessels Of the class originally adopted for cruising.
These are classified as follows First rate, 5 yes
sells, Iss guns. Is, 165 tons second rate. 81 vessels,
$40 guns, SLIPS tons third rate. 81 vessels. 1873
guns, 1856 tons fourth rate. 6 vessels. q guns.
1873 tons, making a total Of IS vessels Of 9O2 guns.
including hovitzers, and 1850 tons. Il appears
from the report that the Secretary has given his
special attention to placing the iron-clad vessels
Of the Navy in a condition for active and efficient
service. The report says, OF iron-elad or armed
vessels, I6 are of the first class and in condition
for active and efficient service 4 others, powerful

steam cruising vessels, Eve Of them over 1000 tons
each, have remained on the stocks since the war,
and are condemned aud laid up in ordinary as unfit
for further use. There are three others with con-
demned machinery, and Al are in commission for
various kinds of duty. OF the remaining II, upon
which the Department most relies to take the place
OF cruising vessels as they return home aud are
put out Of commission, Z are laid up ready for ser
vice, Z are being repaired and 8 are being built
under a special appropriation of Congress. Thus
it will be seen that one-half of the steam navy
adapted to cruising is in commission and in active
service.

Hawaiian literature Of the future
Regarding the reference made above 10 the Lou
OhUG, n monthly, We may state that 1t has been
discontinued and its place taken on the fret
instant by a new journal, called the Lahui Ha-
tvaii, omewhat larger in size and in which more
space is devoted to matters Of secular interest. 1t
is Issued weekly.
The idea thrown out by the writer, that the
Board Of Education could ad~vantageously under
take the publication OF q periodical newspaper or
magazine in the native language, is an excellent
one, were there no present difficulties in the way.
The fret and most important of these is the lack
Of means at the disposal Of the Board. The sum
Of $4,000 is provided in the appropriation bill
passed at the last session OF the Legislature for
the expenses Of the Bureau Of Public Instruc-
ton during the two years ending March 3lst,
1876, and the items are specifically mentioned
upon which that sum maybe expended. More
over q section OF the appropriation bill declares
that " The Minister Of Finance shall not cause or
allow to be paid from the Treasury any money
for objects not provided for by this law" Thus
il will be seen that however much the enlightened
gentlemen who compose the Board Of Education
might be inclined to adopt the idea Of a State
Educational Press, they are p~owerless to move in
the matter until the Legislature shall have pro-
yided the necessary means.
But we are glad to see that the attention of
thoughtful and generous minded ueoule ia directed
to this subject, and that they are unwilling with
out further inquiry to adopt the cold and cheer
less theory that but a few more years will see the
last of the race. We trust that the discussion
will be continued, until the opinion shall prevail
that something an be done in behalf Of the
Hawaiians which " neither earnest religious teach
ing nor an efficient administration of existing
laws will do"

NOVEL NoToNs.-In his recently published work,
"Unwritten History" Joaquin Miller advances
some novel notions. He would Danish gold and
silver, as q commercial medium, from the face of
the earth. He would abolish the use of gold and
silver altogether. have paper currency, and but
one currency in all the world. He proposes to
take all the strong men now in the mines down
from the mountains, and build ships and cities by
the sea, and make q permanent commonwealth
He argues that those thousands of men can, at
best, in e years time, only take out a few millions
OF gold. A ship goes 10 sea and sinks with all
these millions, and there ali that labor is lost to
the world for ever. Had these millions been in
paper, only a few hours labor would have been
lost. There are two hundred thousand men, the
best and bravest men in the world. wasting the
best years Of their lives getting out this gold.
They are turning over the mountains, DESTROYING
the forests. and SLING up the rivers. They make
the land unit even for savaRes. Take them down
from the mountains, throw one-half their strength
and energy against the wild. rich sea-border of the
Pacific, and we would have, instead Of these broken
mountains. muddied rivers, and ruined forests,
such an Eden as has not been seen by man since
the days of Adam.
