We gladly unite with our brother the

succcSs Of the well-borers In our neighbor-
hood. while from certain of his suS-
CeStions We desire in the frendliest man
ner to racori our dissent. The lower parts
OF the CITY can even now be supplied with

servoirs. unless indeed. pUmp be en-
nloved. in which case all our houses will
be guaranteed from the danger and dis
comfort OF using water contaminated by

ought TO be cheaply provided by the rise
OF the water from the reservoirs. Of which
there viii be an abundant supply. not
only for this purpose, but also for working
the maEneto-electric machine by which we
hope our city VIII be ere long beautifully
lighted. But let Us not suppose that the
necessity Of holding the tabu on the up

from 1t. we would gladly see the tabu e1-
tended to the Pauoa valley and indeed. to
the hills above the town We are perhaps,
liable 10 forget that not only does forest

pose, It prevents or mOderates floods. Now
the freshets Of the Nuuanu and Pauoa
streams arc often violent and destructive,

case Of the former stream since the forest
and long grass has been allowed TO grow
unchecked Wewould therefore, earnestly
urge on the government the adyisahility
OF confirming and extending the policy
Of consecrating TO the Goddess of Public
Health the basins Of the streams above

IL our issue Of the 30th ult.. we reflected
the views Of the King and his Cabinet in
stating that after much consideration II
has been determined to send Mr.. Carter
TO Portugal. IN the interests OF immigra-
ton. To this the A6rsrsissr replies that
we think 4 very widespread publ c
opinion regards as decidedly too attenu-
ated to cover the real facts IN the case.
Now this is quite in the nature Of an in
suit 10 the King. II Is well-known that
he Is urging this mater of immigration.
and has especially insisted on the depar-
ture OF Mr.. Carter on that mission. This
can easily be ascertained by any one who
wishes to know the fact. The statement
made current by the 4Srsvfissr. and eyi-
IDENTIFY emphasized by it. Is really an
accusation that the King has entered into
some foolish OF absurd scheme which Is
pronounced " too thin:' F." too attenuated.' :
Is the pleasant phrase used regarding the
Kings act In this case, the p. G. 4
marksman. in trying TO hit the Cabinet,
has struck the King with its missile
II the King had been IN the capital. would
j. have dared to strike ont IN this way (?
Surely this Is a case Of gross ingrautude,
70 give currency to 4 runnor that the Royal
statesman Is working on an attenuated :
basis We have become 50 accustomed TO
a high pressure of loyalty IRON our
ootenporary, It Is surprising that It has
shut the valves for the moment There
Is another phase OF this matter. The
King happens, we are informed on all
sides. TO have taken decided ground in
this emigration business. and selected Mr.
Carter as his Envoy: now If the idoeTtissr
does not know this. we shall conclude that
the relations between the King and the
Editor OF that paper are not Is confidential
or ehild-hke and bland as they might be.
Aside from ali this. whatever the mo-
tives Of the King or the Cabinet. or Mr..
Carter may be. we do not care. We need
emigration. and 50 long as there is a fair
chance Of Mr.. Carter's probably or posi-
bly,. promoting II We urge his departure.
There are some who would prefer to have
him stay and fight the Legislature
without regard TO emigration. But we are
convinced that the sIPremely important
matter Of getting Portuguese laborers Is
IN an unsatisfactory condition; we much
prefer 10 have that mater put right than
risk any dangers. n order to see q fight
in the Legislature.

be quite sure that the majority would
wish to return. The religious difficulty
put forward by Mr.. Armstrong we do not
think worthy of the place it occupies in
his report: in any of the countries to
which the Indian coolie has gone there
has never been any real difficulty upon
this matter Even the "heathen Chinee'
has never overtly shocked the sensihilities
of the Christian communities to which he
has gone. At the same time we must
agree that when we wish to assist in
building up nation. it is better to form
il out Of Christian materials like the
Portuguese than out of heather ones ike
the Chinese and Hindus.
A strong point is made in regard to the
class of women who would be likely to
come; when the protector of emigrants
stated TO Mr.. Armstrong that hardly
twenty per cent. of the women were either
decent or respectable, it ought to make
even the most ardent advocates of Hindu
immigration rather chary of importing
them. This is again in accordance with
information published in our columns last
wear. We suppose that with the report
before them. and with supplementary
information in the shape OF statistics
which we hope Mr.. Armstrong will be
able to give. the Indian coOhe question
VIII be definitely settled.
The portion of the report dealing with
the other fields of labor is much more
condensed than that dealing with the
Hindu: Malay immigration Is cast aside
as valueless. The result of Mr.. Arm
strong's Investigations is that the best, in
fact the only people whom we can get
in sufficient number, and who viii fulfill
what We require, are the Portuguese.
Mr. Armstrong's summing up on gen
eral European Immigration IS sensible
and clear. There is great deal of loose
talk rs to the bringing in of immigrants,
to many people it seems as if landing n
number Of people on our shores is all that
Is wanted. that there conclude the duties
Of the Commissioner of Immigration; the
report deals with the root of the matter, it
shows what style of people, especially in
Europe, desired TO come out, and what
their hopes were. We are now suffering
from the garhled stories of people of this
class, and Mr.. Armstrong certainly show
ed wisdom by not throwing to them in
ducements to come to our shores.
In conclusion we may say that the re
port gives considerable amount of in
formation in terse readable form; that it
Is TO the point and that it is eminenuy
characterized by good common sense.
