The truth is, whether it is wise for the
Government to furnish electric lights for
private houses, build a poi house or dig
a ditch in Hamakua, is question not to
be settled in this summary fashion.
Each case stands on its own merits. In
the first case the facts are these: The
Government is already in possession OF
an expensive electric light plant, the
power OF which must be increased in
order properly to light the city. 1t is
found that at very slight additional
cost the electricity can also be furnished
for private houses, and thus not only a
desirable public convenience secured.
but the usual expense of lighting the
city paid for. Surely none but the cap
tious critic can find anything objection
able in that, or discover in it any reason
for the Governments taking care of his
backyard.

intends to put up the building, partly,
perhaps, because otherwise the new reg
ulation might cause hardship to private
owners, more probably in order to keep
the industry (Which continually tends to
become a public nuisance better under
control The rents will make the build
ing good investment, and the outlay
will not be large, Now, this may or
may not be wise plan We are dis
posed to think it is, although we would
prefer to see the same objects accomp-
lished by private enterprise if possible.
In any case, however, the plan is no vio-
lation of the principles of sound govern
ment.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
The Australian Chinese Question.

! A London dispatch of June 50 says
the question of Chinese immigration into
Australia has placed the English Gov
| eminent on the horns of a dilemma from
which it is impossible for England to ex-
tricate herself without suffering consid-
cradle injury On one hand England
runs the risk of offending China, and on
the other there is danger of exciting en-
unfriendfy feeling against the mother
country in Australia. The treaty Obliga-
tions of Great Britain with China are not
altogether compatible with the action of
the colonists regarding Chinese immi-
grafton.
The treaty of Peking, 1860, permits of
the emigration from open ports of China
to ports in British possessions, and pro-
vides that the Chinese high authorities
shall, in concert with her Britannia Ma
jesty's representative in China, frame
such regulations for the protection of
Chinese emigration as above as the cir
cumstances of the different ports may
demand. The general sense of the clause
is that arrangements affecting Chinese
emigration 10 the colonies should be
made between the Chinese authorities
and the British Minister in China. With
this intention the Australia enactments,
the Chinese ambassador in London
claims, are incOm patible, and they ought,
therefore, one and all, to have been dis
allowed by England.
The Chinese Government, though it
has reluctantly opened a portion of its
dOminiOns to English traders, and was,
until this question came up, on terms of
great amity with her Majesty's Govern
ment, has never yet opened China to
Englishmen in the same manner that
European countries are open to them.
Notwithstanding this the court of Picking
has thus far refused to consent to any
restriction upon the emigration of it's
subjects to Australia The Colonial
Secretary admits that the question is a
most serious one, as it comes at very
inOpportune moment, when rupture of
the friendly feelings existing between
England and China might prove a severe
blow to the Indian Government and
bring disaster to the British army in
Burmah, especially that portion on the
Thibetan frontier.
Stringent instructions have been sent
the British from Siktkim not to cross
the border at present into Thibet, and
also to act only on the defensive. 1t is
now believed that owing to the action of
the Australians the mission of two high
officials dispatched some time ago as
resident representatives to Lhassa by
the Chinese Government will prove
futile. A grave state of things would
then arise, and would undoubtedly com
pei the British at Siktkim to fall back
on the main force of the British army in
Burmah, as the Chinese and Dacoits in
that district would join hands with the
Thibetans and make common cause
against the British, not only in Siktkim
but in the whole of Burmah.

The London Sweating System.

RECRUITING evidence is now being given
before the House of Lords Committee
on the sweating system. Several en-
ployers of large numbers of laborers who,
have been attacked for their mode of
conducting business have presented
their views of the case, bit their testi-
mony has only increased public interest
in these miserably paid working people.
Meanwhile Arnold White, the moving
spirit against the sweating process, or
rather against the immigration of foreign
paupers, has started with cargo OF
emigrants for South Africa. Should all
his efforts against foreign paupers prove
futile, Mr.. White seriously threatens to
bring the question to crisis by import
ing cargo of Chinese and landing them
at London Dock.

In deciding upon every expenditure
of this sort the questions to be consid-
cred are: viii the proposed outlay ter
inmate in something which IS public
benefit, something in which the country
at large, or a considerable section of it,
has natural concern, or is it calculated
to benefit a few private individuals
only? Seconds it something which
can or will be done better by public
than by private effort? If the answer
to these questions is in the affirm
ative, the expenditure, if within the
country's means, is proper one, no
matter what pretended axioms of the
science of politics it may seem to
violate
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-12

The Hamakua ditch, upon which the
Legislature have been memOrialized, IS
an enterprise of a different nature. In
the first place, it would involve very
large expenditure, namely, $3.50, 900. In
the second place, it does not certainly
appear that the enterprise would benefit
anyone, except a few planters, and in
the third place, the water rent offered
by the planters is decidedly too low.
For the Government to propose and the
Legislature to vote funds on such a
showing, would involve a most egregious
misapplication of the public money.
Nothing of the sort, however, is going
to be done. The committee have re-
ported in favor of having the line of the
proposed ditch surveyed, with a view to
determining what lands, if any, it would
render available for the purposes of the
Homestead Act, and what other adj
vantages of a truly public nature may
be expected to result from it. AS the
House adopted the report, an item for
the survey will very likely be inserted
in the Appropriation bill.
