great advantage to the residents OF this
city is the continuation OF Queen Street.
During the time of the Wilder admins
tration, the land, for making this continu
alton. was offered free Of cost by the va
rious property owners along the proposed
route and IT would be well worth the while
Of the present administration to take the
matter into consideration once more. Not
only would the new road open up great
deal of valuable property, but It would re-
ieye the heavy traffic Of the present lower
read. and would afford a pleasant and
healthful drive. with some little variety. a
thing this city needs very much.
The most important improvement, how
ever. Is the dredging Of the entrance to
the harbor. Some people, in speaking oil
this. say that very few ships OF such large
tonnage as TO be unable to enter our har-
Dor. ever visit our waters. This IS true,
and as long as the harbor entrance remains
in its present condition, we may expect
few. But Just as soon as we have har-
Dor that very large ships can enter, we
may expect to have them come. 1t Is a
very great pity that such vessels as the
Oco1aie. the Coptic. and shortly the city q
Toxic cannot find accommodation here; had
they been able to do so we might have ex-
pected frequent visits from these giants OF
the deep. The money for these improve
ments has been voted: the government has
had funds amply sufficient for this pur
pose in the treasury, but has a single step
beeen taken7 can they or their organ tell
the public honestly that they have been
giving their attention TO such matters
The answer, as far as the outside public
is concerned must be most emphatically
mol The present Cabinet have spent the
money of the taxpayers on vanity and
folly. have frittered away the taxes and
are now looking TO a loan to put them on
their legs; they have played and are still
playing the part Of the prodigal, and there
are no signs of repentance about them.

The dry season Is setting in upon us,
the showers are less frequent and less
abundent, the streams are shrinking, the
desaaad iIioroasiHg the reservoirs insufficient,
and-what has the Government done
nothing what is proposed and when is it
to be carried ont
There is, it is said, quantity Of piping

taxed and what Is being done towards the

ing.
There are in this Kingdom Engineers
and Surveyors who could If required draw
up plan for the construction of reservoirs
that might supply Honolulu and its sur
roundings with water, allowing for in
creased consumption. for the next half
century.
In the Appropriation Bill. 1882 4, besides
the Government Survey at $4,000, besides
the Superintendent of Public Works,
besides the Superintendent of Water
Works and his clerk. an item of $1,000 Is
appropriated for a civil Engineer, 5000

So, 300 for repairs and additions to Water
Works, add TO this artesian well boring
S35. 600, pipes for MaBiE well $1,000.
Thus there was voted in cash Sl33,3OO
available for water storage and Of this only
$4,000 Is localized. viz: $500 TO Molakai
the same to North KOna. the same to Ma
Bua. Oahu.
In the persons and staff Of our Surveyor
and Superintendent OF Public Works the
State has servants capable of designing
and constructing reservoir, or several, If
necessary. sufficient TO secure the city from
the terrors Of a water famine now impend-
ing. Independent of the domestic conyen-
ience. horticultural beauty, and every mi
nor consideration hinging on an ample
supply OF water. the great facts TO be
considered are. first. that water. pure and
plentiful, is the prime necessity of nature,
and next in community living for the
most part in wooden houses, with such a
nest Of fire traps at hand as Nuuanu and
Maunakea Streets, nothing Is safe. Two
weeks Of rainless weather, or less, would
paralyze all power Of fire extinction.
The Government are doingnOthing, and
may retort. what would you do? Itseems
that common sense might answer-issue a
Commission. call upon your Surveyor, Su
perintendent of Public Works. to select
site. to determine the capacity, to estimate
the cost Of reservoir fit to supply grow

the statements from residents in Hilo,
which Will be- found elsewhere in our col
umus. There is however, one subject sug
gcsted by these statements, the importance
Of which has long been forseen. and if we
mistake not, by no one more clearly than
by the Attorney General. We mean the
necessity Of having a District Attorney, a
man trained in the law. resident upon

guarded. in respect Of following up and
prosecuting offenders against the law, un-
less the inihatory proceedings are under
the direct supervision 0ad control of a com
pctent deputy Of the Attorney General.
Such an official would do kind Of work
which an Attorney General resident in
Honolulu can not do upon the other isl
auds, IN securing convictions for crime,
and often IN avoiding harTassing prosecu-
tons.
The Appropriation Bill may even now
allow OF the appointment Of such officials

WEDNESDAY, MAY 2. 1883.

IT may not be generally understood that
the cases brought by certain Of the Ger
man laborers on the Kilauea plantation
against their employer, in the Police Court
Of Honolulu, were not decided upon the
strength Of any Of the specific complaints
made by the men. After few witnesses
had testified in behalf Of the complainants,
and before any testimony had been given
by the employers, the contracts were by
consent Of the counsel for the employer,
declared te have been broken in respect Of
the half an acre Of land for each man
which their terms called for.
1t was shown that this stipulation in the
contracts had been modified by mutual
agreement, the single men preferTing that
the plantation should furnish them cook;
but as the law of labor contracts requires
all their terms TO be expressed in writing,
this purely harmless and technical error
resulted IL releasing the men; and was the
only cause for which they were released.

THE AMERICAN NAVY.

The National Republican says:
The statement of the naval advisory
board with regard to the building of
new ships of war, which was laid be-
fore the house of representatives on
January 3rd, recommends that the
largest of the steel cruisers, author
lied by the law enacted at the last
session of Congress, be not built, for
the reason that the appropriation of
50, 100000 is not sufficient to build
them all. The vessels recommended
by the board to be built are one
steel cruiser, of 1000 tons displacc-
ment, to cost 1880, ,s54 three
steel cruisers of $500 tons displacc-
ment, to cost s. ,O31, ,225; one iron
dispatch boat, to cost S4G0. 600, and
one cruising torpedo boat, to cost
S3S,O00. 1t is also recommended
that two of the smaller cruisers be
assigned to service on the Pacific
coast and one on the Atlantic.

SEVERAL persons seem to make a
practice of announcing that news
has been heard of the Sucz. Know
ing that so many families are inter-
ested in her fate, it is n cruel and
unmanly act to start rumors which
raise dclusive hopes, only to dash
them down again when the truth is
heard. We have little doubt of the
safety of the Suez, but it is time to
say news has been heard when it
has, and not before.

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION


Have purchased land and put up
building for gymnasium. 1t has
already been formally opened by
ball given by the members, which
showed to those present the capabil-
tiles of the building. Now there re-
mains the fitting up of this building
with the necessary apparatus, and
then comes the best part Of 1.-THE
putting it into practical use.
If all this expenditure of money is
not to be allowed to be wasted, it is
necessary for our young men to
rally and bring in their subscriptions.
1t is necessary for them to take an
active part in the work and hurry
up the preparations, and to resolve
to go into the thing so as to make
things hum.
1t is hardly necessary to dilate Oh
the advantages of gymnastic prac-
tice. OF late years this has come to
be regarded rs an axiom. But it is
as well to bear in mind that to be
advantageous it must be steady,
regular, and kept within due bounds.
And this is more especially neces-
sary in our laxative climate, where
any extra and unsustained exertion
tells almost as strongly as course
of dissipation would do in a more
bracing atmosphere.
Let it then be distinctly agreed
on by our young men, ay, and older
ones too, that this thing is to be a
regular steady practice: that it is
going to be started we'll and kept
up. In short let all unite to put out
regular sustained effort to give it
good start and then keep up the
average.
