THE PANAMA CANAL.

Everything indicates at present
that De Lesseps' stupendous enter
prise at Panama is finally dead. 4
French commission has lately visited
the works at the Isthmus, but their
work is likely to discourage rather
than lead to, any attempt to revive
the scheme. 1t will stand as one of
the most colossal failures Of history,
an eighth wonder. 1t is unfortunate
that the reputation of the justly
famous French engineer should re-
ceive stain, and that his life should
be clouded by great disappointment
at lis close, instead of frightened by
a great final success.
Work on the Nicaragua canal will
probably be pushed with redoubled
yigor since the final collapse Of its
redoubtable rival. The next few
years may be expected to witness its
completion. The indications are
that these Islands will gain greatly
in commercial Importance and con
sequent prosperity, by the compile
ton of the canal. We must make
ready for this prosperity, and the
first step should be the provision Of
increased harbor accommodation, by
dredging, and by deepening the
channel SO that large steamers cal
come inside. We believe that this
harbor improvement is an article il
the political faith of both parties sc
that there is every prospect that il
will be provided for in the mex
Appropriation bill.
The only danger is that wher
Wilcox has increased the army t.
two hundred men, as he proposes
there may not be money enough lef
for the harbor. We must have thu
army increase anyway. When thu
canal is completed, and the cable tt
the American continent laid, the
foreign powers will be at our very
doors, SO to speak, and it will bt
more necessary than ever to overawt
them by display of military force

answer to Echo.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the Bulletin OF
the 18th this month is al article
signed by Echo in which the Ia
tional Reform party is praised, be-
cause that party 'did not require
rum, money or intimidation to create
an IMPRESSION on voters favorable to
it's merits" I think otherwise, as
here in Waikiki the National Re.
form party did use free rum or cleo
ton gin, according to what is said.
It was said so when the Reform
party held the mass meeting in Wal
luku skating rink, and a lot OF
drunken people tried to break up
the meeting, and it has been said
afterwards. As a sequel to the cleo
ton there will come before the jury
at the June term couple of cases.
of which one is for perjury. A state
ment of the income during the last
year was drawn up by a National
Reform man and signed and sworn
to by another, and it remains to be
seen whether it is correct or not. Oh
course, no intimidation or money OF
rum was used in that case, oh no!
It would be more becoming tC
suggest public improvements, ex
pose oppression were it is supposed
to exist, advice what new laws We
need or changes in the laws we
have, advocate good honest gov
eminent, than to write lot of spite
fnl insinuating articles. The resul
Of the election cannot be altered
anyhow, and it would be much better
to 'bury the hatchet," than to KEEP
pouring oil to the fire.

THE CABLE FRANCHISE.

Several references have lately
been made in the Bulletin and else
where, to the question of granting an
exclusive franchise to any cable COM
pany which might be formed. The
matter, we think, lies in a nutshell.
In determining what kind of fran
chise should be granted, the interests
OF the public should be made the sole
object. Other things being equal,
nothing should be done which would
exclude the possibility of our obtain
ing the benefits of two cable lines if
there were any prospect whatever of
two being laid. On the other hand
it would be foolish to sacrifice the
present advantage resulting from
one cable to the remote future ad-
vantages arising from two. If the
cable cannot be laid without the
granting Of an exclusive franchise,
such franchise should be granted.
On the other hand, no exclusive
franchise should be given to any COM
pany unless it should be necessary,
for the furtherance of some public
end, such as the encouragement of
home capital, or the more speedy
laying of the cable.
1t is probable that no cable will be
laid touching at Honolulu, unless
the Hawaiian Government offers
some special inducements. 1t is at
least equally clear that the state of
the national finances will not permit
the offering of such Inducements to
more than one company The first
conner will undoubtedly be the COM
pany so favored, whether therefore
the franchise be exclusive or not
The company which promises to lay
the cable first, is sure to have some
special advantages over any subse-
quent competitor.

THE DAILY
ABOUT MONOPOLY.

The words exclusive" ''monopo-
ly," etc, occasion, with some we'll
disposed people, very unnecessary
degree of fright. Wherever there is
room for profitable competition be-
tween a number of distinct enter
prises, a monopoly is an evil. When
this is not the case, as it very fre-
quently is not, the existence of more
than one claimant for public patron
age is curse. Excessive competi-
tion is greater evil than monopoly.
Every unsuccessful enterprise is a
deduction from the national pros
perity. It decreases the sum of the
general wealth. Honolulu is cursed
with two telephone companies, when
there is only room for one. The
state of things is bad for the public
and bad for the companies. It
would be public misfortune to have
two railroads round this island.
They could not both pay and every
waste of capital means loss and mis-
fortune to the community.
The ADVERTISER is no defender OF
monopoly or monopolists as its own
columns abundantly prove. We sim
ply call attention to the fact that
monopoly is not always an evil, as
competition is not always a benefit.
If the franchise of the Oahu Rail
road & Land Co. had not contained
the word exclusive" there would be
no railroad to Pearl river to-day.
