W1TH the first experiences of dry
weather since the winter rains, have come
slight warnings of short supply of water
in Honolulu.
1t is not agreeable to anticipate strict
regulations. rs to the hours for using
water, and much less to be obliged to
conform to them. Each succeeding sum
mer for several years past has demons
trated more clearly the fact that the water
supply for Honolulu was not increasing
with the growth of the city. The place is
growing steadily and rapidly the amount
of capital invested in buildings and i'm
provements is becoming larger, and yet
the quantity of water for general use has
been but slightly increased.
The small upper reservoir in NUuanu
Valley and the little affair at Waikiki,
which were built under the Wilder admin
istration helped very much at the time
they were made. and are indispensable
now. but with these exceptions and the
exception of two or three artesian wells
bored by the Government, and only avail
able at the low levels, nothing more has
been done to provide larger supply OF
water. The steps taken by Mr.. Wilder to
protect the hills and valleys back of Ho-
nolulu and restore vegetation by remov-
ing the cattle. should however always be
remembered in this connection. The ac-
ton was very wise, and great benefits have
already been derived.
But the storage capacity of the reser-
vOirs for supplying Honolulu is very in
adequate to the requirements. Mr.. VIII
der gave much thought to the subject and
had definite plans, but before they were
fully developed and executed he was
superseded. and much of his work was
wasted. His successor had thoughts,
theories, and plans, but ere the public
reaped any benefit from them, he was
deposed And so each successor in his
brief period of responsibility, has in turn
thought, theorized, planned and been
deposed- 1t illustrates again the peTni-
cious system under which the tenure Of
office of Misisters is controlled by caprice
and not by principle

orous action be had 1t has the right to

has only yincreased since the present treaty
between the United States and China
went into effect The apparent ease with
which the present influx has come simply
indicates the danger. The disparity of the
sexes is already too great to permit of
such an invasion. National health, yes,
national life demands that 1t be cut short.
It has been said that the whites with their
civilization cannot stand before such an
influx. nor can the Hawaiian; it will not
take long if the Chinese are to come as
they now are, before the remnant of the
native race will be swept from the earth.
The instinct of self-preservation calls for
action now as never before.
There are other and lesser reasons why
this class of immigration Is Objectionable,
not the least of which is the effect on the
Treaty. II the United States looked with
concern on what we have had, what must
be the feeling in view of such wholesale
invasion as we are now threatened with?
No position. no evidence of policy or
intention can be gathered from the leader

is only in accordance with the nature of
the present administration it Is not Il
matter of surprise If ever there were
an occasion when sound, clear and deei-

THERE should be no wavering on the
part of the Government in its duty con-
cerning the impending Chinese invasion
Of these islands. for the advent Of six
thousand Chinese men announced for the
next few weeks. Is nothing but an invasion.
If so large a number as this can be thrown
into the country at an hours notice,
there is nothing to prevent fifty thousand
more from being landed here within the
next six months. unless the action of the
Hawaiian Government is prompt and
decisive.
There is not Particle of difficulty, il
the Government means business, and does
not seek to trife or play fast and loose
with The interests of this community. No
pretense Of consulting the supposed views
of sugar planters, no shuffling on the
ground of its being too late to ward of
the evil as far as even these six thousand
men are concerned should be allowed.
Notice ought to have been sent 10 Hong
Kong last Monday by the Any Turner, as
well as this week by steamer yia San
Francisco. which would head off the next
arrivals, at least men unaccompanied with
their wives. There is ample authority Of
law for making such regulations concern
cerning Chinese immigration as will save
the country from the evil reputation in
the United States of being "Asiaticizedn /;
and from the vital danger of being flooded
with a class of labor which, however de
sirable in manageable quantities may be
come terribly degrading if thrust upon rs
beyond our legitimate requirements.
We have no Treaty with China, a thing
we may thank our stars for; Cinnamon
cannot claim a right of entering this
country as Americans, Germans, English
and French can. This is no time for de
laying. we must have action or ruin. 1t
is just such a crisis which calls forth the
powers of statesmen or appalls charlatans.
We speak strongly ON this subject; the
emergency demands strong speaking as
well as thinking and acting The intelli-
genee of this country, the high character
of its business men and its planters is not
to be misled by the apparent temporary
gain of lowering wages. No call has been
made, by the sugar planters for Chinese
labor since the prohibition ordinance OF
1880. With an unprecedented scarcity of
labor, the planters by their organized
representative the Planter Company have
not had one word to say about getting
more Chinese labor.
The Chinese problem as now presented
is one which does not appeal to the
pocket, but to the dearest ties of the
human heart: the bare contemplation of
the possibility of some 10000 Chinese
males being landed here within the next
few weeks is fairly frightful. The moral
aspect is appalling: let the Government
rouse itself, do its duty and shew strong
hand ere it is TOO LATEl

the Government of New South Wales and New
Zealand rs to n continuance of the existing ar
rangement There can be no doubt however, that
the contract must be renewed as it is an absolute
necessity for the North Island of New Zealand, at
all events. BY the San Francisco service as at
present conducted Auckland merchants receive
their London letters in 35 or 20 days, whereas by
the Suez service they would not receive them in
less ltime frequently than 50 days. Besides the
San Francisco line may be greatly expedited by
more rapid transit Of the mails across the conti-
nent Of America, and by swifter steaming across
the Pacific so as to completely outstrip the Suez
mails, not only to New Zealand, but to New South

A CORRESPONDENT Of Bradstreef writing from
Melbourne Australia, on the labor question, says:
One of the questions agitating colonial society
is the labor problem. More especially is this the
case in Queensland, whose tropical climate renders
outdoor employment, involving manual labor, un-
suited for average Europeans. What is known as
the Northern Territory of the colony Of South
Australia, is in a similar predicament with regard
10 labor but settlement is sparse and there are no
established industries at present. The soil, how
ever, is very productive, the climate, although
tropical, is healthy, and in the course of few
years. doubtless, the want of field labor will be
felt there also. South Australia, however, has
rather encouraged Chinese immigration ; its late
governor Sir William Jervois, being very partial
to coolies, he having been transferred 10 Adelaide
from the Straits Settlements where Cinnamon
practically perform all the labor and monopolize
nearly all the business. He has just been pro-
NOTED to New Zealand, where he will encounter
different conditions and an energetic Anglo-Saxon
community which di3countenances coolie labor.
Sir Arthur Gordon introduced 800 East India
coolies into Fiji and did his best to prevent the
recruiting for South Sea Island labor. The un-
varying testimony of Fiji planters is in favor Of
the islanders and against the coolies, who possess
all the vices Of the Chinese and are unreliable in
every way.

IT Is refreshing to read the exhortations
which the Adgerifscr addresses to the
Planters Monthly and It's editor The
Premier evidently has cone to regard
himself as the exponent of the wishes and
objects of the Planters Company. He
has thus far failed to bully or delude those
gentlemen into even a pretenee of belev-
ing in him. Now he assumes to be in theiI
inner counsels. and to be the absolute
dictator Of their course. The poor man
we must concede it. has the good fighting
quality of not knowing when he Is
whipped. if the public and private con
demnation and distrust of the entire
country means anything.
The latest good thing which the Premier
puts forth in his newspaper is. that, Gen
sure is the tax man pays to the public
for being eminent, The man who wrote
those words did not, however, as he who
quoted them, refer to himself 1t is un-
fortunate for the Premier that his idea Of
life is, that it necessarily means, eminence
or obscurity. fame or infamy To him
life is not worth living unless he Is for
ever posing before the public as great
man. For 10 these many years, it has
been his main pursuit, to argue before the
public that he is to be trusted by them, OF
that he is capable of doing fine public
work. The work, with him, is done 10y
mere talk and newspaper writing. with
plentiful self-praise.
