greatly increased cost and enormous .
waste Of force.
In this country, people have come
to recognize the soundness Of the
first of these two propositions; the
truth Of the other one is just begin
ming to permeate their consciousness.
However it may result, the action Of
the Legislature IN making an appro-
priation for surveying the streams
in the Kohala mountains, with
view to ascertaining the amount Of
water available, and the practlca-
bility Of bringing the same down to
the lower levels for irrigating pur-
poses, was a step in the right direc-
ton. Even should it be found i'm
practicable to utilize that particular
source of supply, we have very little
doubt that information will be OBJ
tanned which, incidentally at least,
will be Of material use in prosecuting
future Investigations Of similar
kind.
Whether this matter should be
taken up directly by the Govern
ment, or whether it had better be
entrusted to a stock company or
companies organized expressly for
the purpose, is a question about
which there may be some difference
Of opinion. Our own view is de-
cidedly in favor of the former alter
native. In either case the interven-
ton of the Legislature will be re-
CURED, and nothing can therefore
be done about it for more than a
year to come. At the same time 1t
is one Of the important questions Of
the future, and it is we'll that mems
minds should be turned occasion
ally in that direction. We would
have nothing done hastily or I'M
advisedly. In many instances where
there seems to be water running to
waste, a careful survey may show
that it is so situated with regard to
level and character of surroundings
as to render it unavailing for the
purpose under consideration, except
at a cost which would be unremera-
tive in business sense; and this
question is to be regarded from the
business point of view. From in
formation received, we are of the
opinion that the prospect of bring
ing considerable areas under cult
walton by means of engineering en-
terprises, not of excessive cost, is
sufficiently good to Justify the ex-
penditure Of a reasonable sum of
money in making thorough surveys
and collecting III the fullest manner,
all the data bearing upon the sub
ject. Ibis is especially the case on
this island.

THE ATTITUDE OF ENGLAND.

The London Times has the follow
ing special from it's Berlin CORE
spOndent: The subcommittee of
the Samoan conference is still busy
with its work. This is understood
to be the elaboration of two main
projects, one plan for the future
government of Samoa under a ma
tive ruler, and the other a proposal
for the constitution Of a tribunal
to consider and adjudicate on pri-
vate land tenure at the islands,
which is in the greatest possible
confusion, and Is anything but a
correct index to the extent of the
various foreign interests involved.
1t may be remembered that the
Washington conference on affairs in
Samoa ended abOrtively, mainly for
the reason that the United States
would not assent to the German
proposal to appoint one representa-
tive of the three powers concerned,
this nominee being a German, to act
as the mandatory of the three
States.
Now it is probable that the confer
ence will decide upon the appoint
ment Of a triumvirate body of ad-
ministratiOn or supervision in Samoa
to act as a sort Of council to the
native sovereign, whoever he may
be. This will mainly depend on the
policy of Germany. But meanwhile
the promised release of king Ma
hetOa, whom the Germans deported
from Samoa to Hamburg and back
to the Marshall Islands, is regarded
as proof of her desire to make a
good impression on the conference.
There is one thing less clear than
some others connected with the con-
ference and that is the attitude of
England on the Samoan question.
At Washington England was decid-
eddy in favor of the course suggested
by Germany, and now there is
nothing to show that she is not
again disposed, if anything, to
prove more cOmplaisant to Germany
than to the United States. If this
be so, it will be thought a pity by
those who expect the English Gov
eminent to know on which side its
bread is buttarel, who rightly argue
that England and her colonies have
more both to hope and to fear from
America, with her future develop
ments, than from any other country
under the sun.
SO reason observers who are pro
foundry convinced that cordial
friendship with the United States is
of much more value TO England than F.
is that of any State in the European /
system, from which Great Britain is
becoming more and more detached /.
by reason Of her gradual growth into /
colonial world power, with ever wild I
ening and Frightening prospects.
Imperial federation is our true
foreign policy. England, argue the
observers above referred to, has little
Or nothing to do now with affairs on
the Continent, but everything with
ler interests beyond the sea and with
Jle States and colonies affected by
hose interests. From this point of
view, therefore, it is somewhat puz
zllng to many to find Lord Salisbury
laying such ostentatiOn on the
entente cOrdiale everywhere

Claims Against the Government.
WASHINGTON, April "a Colonel
John Mostly argued to day a case
before the Solicitor of the Treasury
in the interest Of the Dan Francisco
Chamber of Commerce. 1t appears
that Collectors of Customs have been
in the habit of exacting a form Of
importers certified consular invoices
for goods of the free list. MOsby
connended that the practice was not
justified by either the letter or the
spirit of the statute, which only re
quires such invoices for goods sub
iect to adj valorem duty, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining their cost or
value; that, as free goods pay no
duty, their cost OF value IS imma-
terial to the Government. The
Court of Claims in its recent deci-
sion in Colonel Mosby's case sus-
tanned this position, and decided that
fees for such invoices belonged to
the Consul, as it was not his duty to
certify them for shippers.

THE DAILY
IRRIGATION.

In mentioning lately some of the
useful and productive public works,
to the prosecution of which the
Legislature might we'll devote the
surplus of the Savings Bank fund,
or If that proved insufficient. would
be Justified in authorizing a special
loan, we omitted speaking of the
subject which stands at the head of
this article. No one can have anv
knowledge of the agricultural re-
sources or of the physical geography
OF this country without realizing in
some measure the vast Importance
of the interests concerned. The
Creator provides the elements and
forces of nature, the land and sea,
the AIR, the sunshine, the minerals
hidden In the earth, and many other
things, all of which moder science
has grouped under the two compre-
hensive definitions of matter and
force. These are the raw material.
so to speak, which the wit and in
genulty-nE man, stimulated by his
eyer widening wants, must SO ar
range, combine and utilize as to
serve his purposes.
Now we have in these islands tens
of thousands Of acres of land which
IS not merely good, but very superior
in quality. 1t is capable of yielding
magnificent crops of sugar cane, or
OF almost any other of the tropical
or semI-tropical products, and only
lacks one thing; but for want of that
one thing, it now lies unimproved
and almost worthless. This indi4
pensible requisite, this one thing
needful IS water. Again, while thesea
wide tracts Of as fine land as u
farmer need wish to run a plough
through, lie arid and unproductive
for lack of the fructifying influence
OF moisture, millions of gallons of
water run to waste every day
throughout the greater part of the
year. Although we are not prepared
to demonstrate the proposition with
mathematical accuracy, we feel very
confident from what we have some
times seen along the windward coasts
OF Hawaii, Maui and Molokai. that
the quantity of beautiful fresh water
which tumbles uselessIy into the sea.
over precipices and down ravines. is
vastly more than sufficient to album
dainty irrigate every foot of good
land in the Kingdom.
Admittedly, those things ought
not so to be; and yet, what is the
remedy, and how shall it be applied?
There are some things needing to
be done In this world, which cannot
be accomplished to any advantage
unless undertaken upon a large and
comprehensive plan, and prosecuted
by some powerful agency like
Government or q wealthy corpor-
alton. The supplying of water to |
cities and towns, and the collecting, |
storing and distributing upon
large scale, of water for purposes of
irrigation, come under this head. |
That enterprises of the first named |
kind furnish a proper field for
municipal or governmental action
has come TO be almost universally
acknowledged. That the same is
true of irrigaung works of equal or
greater magnitude, is n doctrine that
Is recognized and acted upon in
most places where the question has
been one of sufficiently pressing
Importance to have compelled its
serious and practical consideration.
Even We're 1t practicable for in
dlviduai effort to accomplish the
desired results, it would be ut

YALE NOTES.
Coached the Football Men Yesterday
The Glass Historians.


Kebabian '08 was in town yesterday.
Eugene L. Richards 's5 and Wallace 'Ss
coached the foatball men yesterday after.
ternoon. The playing was very good, taking
into consideration the short time they have
been practising. Considerable improvement
has been made in tackling and breaking
through the rush line. The interference Of
the rushers is at times brilliant, and the run.
ming of the half-baoks and kicking of full
backs are up to the standard. Harvard and
Princeton will find when they meet Yale on
the field that the same snap and logged per-
severance that has for some years past char
acterized Yale's players exists this year.
The race to-day between '01 and '92 crews
will be very interesting and CLOSE. The races
are held thus early 30 that men who play
football may not be detracted from the field
and that more attention may be given to
football by the members of the freshmen
crews especially.
The class historians of 80 have made the
divisions Of the class and each will take one
division of the seniors whose histories they
are to present on class day at commencement
next June.
It was quite surprise yesterday afternoon
when the Parker brothers beat the Hunting.
ton brothers at game Of tennis. The
Huntington brothers are considered the best
double players In the university.
Services preparatory to communion were
held in Dwight hall last evening. At the

Ladies, make the Experiment.

Men and women who refuse to try new
ideas or new articles, virtually combine to
make the world stand still and check the ad-
vancement of those things which conduce to
happiness, comfort, and the getting of moro
into an ordinary life: Sweeping improve
ments, such as the telegraph, steam, cleo
trieity, push themselves in at all odds; and
although it may not be suspected. a house,
hold article is doing the very same, BY
it's judicious, convincing. argumentative
advertising. We refer to Pearline-the
very name is becoming household
word, which means cleanliness with ease and
comfort. We would suggest to those of our
readers who do not use Pearline to make an
experiment with it. Surely such rapid
growth as it is enjoying must be due to
merit, and yet it is old enough to have been
buried out Of sight long since did it not con-
tinue to please and satisfy those who use it.
It claims much by way of reducing drudgery
and saving of wear and tear, and If it fulfls
It's promises, the more it claims the better;
and the sooner you know all about 1.-THE Soon

On Monday the voters will decide the mat
ter of consolidating the eleven school dis
tricts and placing them under town manage
ment. The change would be beneficial to
the outlying districts, and would also do
away with the hard feeling often engendered
by antagonistic factions at school meetings
in some of the districts. Under the present
system few of the school houses are crowd

filled. The change is advocated by the
leading men of the town.
