AtCastlc Garden, New York city, there
arc many theories Of great decline in
European immigration TO this country
during the first half Of the current year.
II is said to be owing to the reduction Of
the surplus population Of several countries
Of Europe by the immigration Of past
years, to the difficulties encountered by
many immigrants in finding employment
here, 20 the new induccment offered to
settlers by several South American Gov.
ernments, 70 the action Of our oonsuls
abroad in preventing undesirable persons
from leaving for New York, and TO the
strict enforcement here Of the contract
law. The falling of in the arrivals at
Castle Garden during the first half Of the
year as compared with those in the CORE
spending period Of last year was nearly
81 per cent. or from 239, 1926 TO t73, 67s I:

Is 1t q Necessity.

MIR. EDITOR: find peculiar kind OF
logic in the last GAZETTE, viz: "The
Oahu Railroad Co. propose to run a
regular series of trains on Sundays, from
this time forth. The travelling public
demand it and it therefore becomes a
necessity"
will venture to assert that large
portion of the public, the better portion,
the most law-abiding portion, do not de-
mand Sunday trains. But suppose a
considerable portion do demand such
trains, does that decide the question of
necessity in Christian community?
If the unlimited sale of opium was
permitted in these islands, | suppose
there would be very large public de-
mand for it; but does that prove that it
is necessary and best to allow such sale,
even though large profits would be made
from it? If the nightly performance OF
the most indecent hula hula were allowed
in Honolulu, l am afraid it would be
largely patron;zed. Is it therefore a
necessity?
Is there no law in the land against
Sunday work? Is there not good reason
for such law? And is there any reason
why it should not be enforced against
Sunday trains for either pleasure or
business? If they are for business, it is
work in every sense of the word. If
they are recreation trains, they are still
less a necessity" while they occasion
just as much work for the employees, and
are just as disturbing to the quiet of the
Lords day. The running OF steam cars
is everywhere recognized as one of the
most disturbing things possible to the
quiet of any day. Here on Maui, China
men and others are arrested for working
in their own gardens on Sunday. "Con-
sistency is jewel"

Some Dangers That Threaten Us.

Mr.. EDITOR: Any thoughtful observer
of our present social condition and politi-
cal complications must be conscious that
there are some imminent perils that NAV
well excite gravest apprehensions OF
possible disasters. 1t is true that insen-
safe folly often brings upon itself the
danger that it breads by its unreason-
able alarm. But it is equally true that
self-conceited incompetency may crush
IN where angels fear to tread" and so
provoke its own doom. Between these
two extremes lies the path of safety
which trust in an overruling Providence
and earnest desires to do the right thing
in the right way at the right time and to
point out as the path of duty. What
ought we to avoid? is as important a
question as what ought we to seek?
The growing separation between the
desires and the conduct of the native
Hawaiians on the one side, and, on the
other side, the residents of other nation
alities in whose hands is the direction
and management of the business and
social interests of the country, is a fact
too glaring to be denied How this
separation has been widened, whether
it was avoidable or not, may be discussed
by future philosophic historians. What
concerns US now, is the bearing of this
state of things on our immediate personal
welfare, perhaps even our continued
national existence. There is as evident
ly re-actionary party, whose policy and
Vaccinations are to be dreaded, as there
is party OF progress as well as reform,
whose ideas and aspirations are incom-
patible with the triumph of the re-
actionists.
Can we anticipate without any fore
bodings of evil, either the triumph of
vice and ignorance, or of a legalized

TALL. CHIMNEYs.

The tallest chimney in the United |
States is CLAIMED by Kearney, near i
Newark, N. j., it being 335 feet |
high, Is feet IL diameter at the base, !
and containing no less than 1891
900 bricks. Enormous as some Of
the American smoke shafts are, they
are but pigmies besides those in the
"old country" says the Boston
Globe. Scotch and English chin
neys, it seems, are famous for their
cloud-reaching peculiarities. At the
Dobson & Barlow mills, Bolton,
England, there is an octagon stack
$685. feet in height and over 80 feet
in diameter at the base. Glasgow,
Scotland, is famous for its tall Chin
neys. Tenant & Co. have one
which runs up 1859 feet, with a base
of 80 feet, while the great Town
shend stack, in the same city,
towers 46S feet into the air from
the foundation, with 3 big
base measuring thirty-two feet in
diameter. This is generally spoken
of as the tallest chimney in the
world, although the men of Paisley
declare that they have one 500 feet
high. In Halifax, England, there is
an octagon tower rising 381 feet,
with base of 80 feet and weighing
10000 tons In Bradford there is a
stone shaft rising 800 feet above the
ground, being 8 feet at the summit.
, At the shell foundry of Woolwich
Arsenal there is chimney 223 feet
above the ground and Is feet below
it, with Portland stone cap weigh
ing seventeen tons. The West Cum
; berland Iron Works have one 25]
feet high, and at the Dundee Liner
; Works there is one rising 202 fee
s from the ground. At the Edinburgh
| Gas Works there is one rising 81
4 feet into the air, and Hadderstielt
has a circular shaft of 321 feet. Il
4 France the tallest smoke-stacks ar
. built of iron, the most notable beins
/ two at the Crusot Works, one being
. 1877 feet high and the other 279 feet
# Liverpool, too, has one cloud touche

The Districts real-estate intermediary is
neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor good red herring.
The Commissioners have apparently been in
doubt whether to claim him as their own, and
vindicate his employment on the score of saw
ing the District from loss by concealing its
identity as purchaser, or to repudiate him,
for the reason that his paid employment, how
ever beneficial to the District, would be Illegal
They have compromised the matter by assum-
ing both positions. The intermediary is a
nondescript agent, in whose selection OF
sites and opinion concerning prices the
District has full confidence, and who cheap
ems property which the District buys
and who is also the paid agent of the vendo,
whose property he cheapens, and whom he
traps into selling to an alleged undesirable
purchaser. His commissions depend on the
price which he can get the District to pay, and
yet he cheapens this price. He receives money
from the vendor and confidence and con.
fdential information from the buyer. He i,
under no obligations to anybody which prevent
him from serving as agent of buyer, agent OF
seller, or as purchaser on his own account, ac-
cording to the comparative promise Of profits
IN each capacity. Proteus would make an ideal
intermediary.

1t was to be expected after learning that
Moore, the indianapolis insurance defaulter,
had been several years in stealing his half mil

condone his offense. In order to get hold of
his papers and the key to his safe the officers
of the company allowed him to escape to Can
