HOUSE NOTES.

Noble Neumann said yesterday
be wished he could understand
something. Well, we wish he
could, too.
The infationists with their pan
acea of cheap money and more
cheap money, are like DR.. San
grado in Gil Bias, who dosed his
patients with nothing but warm
water. The patients died to
man, but the doctor always said 1T
was because they did not take
warm water enough.
The member from Lahaina says
the Horner Bill reminds him OF
Aladdin and his lamp. Oily Bill
builded better than he knew, when
he made that remark.
1t looks as though the Waste
Paper Bill would pour oil as well
as paper on the troubled waters.
Rep. Bush was seen peacefully
fraternizing with Ministers, the
Ratchet buried, looking as smiling
as though he was just sitting down
to dish of succulent dog. The
long and youthful scion of the
Horner stock was also an embas-
sador to the ministerial camp.
1t is freely rumored that the
Ministers will vote for the Inha-
ton Bill, but :he terms Of the vote
swapping are not quite settled yet.
Col. Carter respectfully suggests
that Noble Neumann's recent study
of the almanack humorists it now
being seen to fine advantage. Paul
has "noble" memory-something
indispensable to a wit, like Paul.
Rep. Nawahi says the crowd be-
hind the railing would be at work
if this bill were law. And whom
would you have to talk to then, Mr..
Nawahi?
Col. Carter says the crowd be-
hind the rail would not go to work
under any circumstances. Like a
number of members of the House,
they are mot that kind"
Quite a crowd gathered to hear
the debates in the House yester-
day. Among them some of the
gold bugs.
The lie-on-the-lounge Ministry
have not been heard from yet on
the Banking Act.
Rep. Nawahi made a speech Of
an hour and twenty minutes on
Friday.

year a great many of them
will visit the islands going to,
or coming from Chicago but
it must be borne in mind that
the Worlds Fair is not a per
manent show. After that is
over there will be greater
drop in tourist travel to Homo
lulu than there was in the
sugar business, land conse-
quently every other business
here) after the Mckinley bill
was put into operation. We
must find relief through some
more permanent channel and
it is within the power of the
wise men at the "big house" to
help the country, the working
man, the merchant and them
selves. Here is the way:
There are thousands Of
acres of land in the Kingdom
lying idle and the laws are
such that they will continue so
unless a certain resolution is
passed. During the present
week a bill will be introduced
authorizing the disposal of
certain of the crown lands in
tracts suitable for the farmer.
This done and the fact made
known to the tourist we will in
a few years, see the islands
dotted with the houses of the
small farmers-the back bone
of any country. The product
of these farms will add to our
exports and make living
cheaper for the working man.
1t will add to the revenue Of
the country through taxation
and give US a class of citizens
of whom the country may be
proud, We may not see the
direct benefit; it would be sell
fish if the Legislation was simply
for the present generation.
Small farms have been a boon
to the United States-they
have done every thing for
France. And we sell farming
implements.

thousand dollars for the damming
up of streams to make reservoirs of
from 1000, 900 or 100000 or more
gallons capacity. The Superin-
tendent of Public Works makes an
expansive report on the proposed
large reservoir above Luakaha,
with a proposed capacity of 341,-
100000 gallons at an estimated cost
of$75,000. This would be well spent
if it were reasonably certain of
holding that amount of water, and
ofkeeping it pure and sweet enough
for general use, several very i'm
portant uncertainties. 1t is stated
that 100000 gallons a day are
now available from existing arte-
sian wells, only needing new sys-
tenn Of mains with perhaps pump
ing plant. The report contains an
excellent table of water systems of
a number of cities in the United
States

munity and
should receive their earnest
support. Other sources of
income having been legis-
lated beyond our control
by the United States we must
throw open our gates to the
tourist and induce him with
clever pictures by pen and
camera to visit US, and show
him the greatest wonders of
the world.
Properly managed the Blu
reau of Information would be
of untold benefit to the Islands.
But in addition to the estab-
lishment of a bureau in San
Francisco arrangements could
be advantageously made with
| Thomas Cook & Son for plac-
ing Hawaii on their list of
tours. We speak from ex-
perience when we state that
this firm has made more tou-
rists comfortable in every nook
and corner of the world than
has been done by any other
agency in the universe.
So much for the business
men to attend to and they will
probably do it all, but is it not
possible for the Government
to take a hand and help the
merchant out of the difficulty.
Switzerland, we are told, de-
rives most of its support from
tourist travel. The support
must be weak when the presi-
dent Of the republic has only a
$1,000 job. A country needs
more than tourists to make it
thrive. Twenty years ago the
people of Jacksonville, Palatka,
Green Cave and St. Angus
tine in Florida, lived during
the winter months on Northern
