The biennial report Of the super
intendent of Water Works contains
some very important recommends
tiOns. Honolulu is growing rapidly,
and the demand for water il steadily
increasing. Many OF the old mains
are of small capacity and clOgged with
internal growth, and the friction Is so
great that when the force is weak,
many sections of the city are without
their water supply for several hours
daily. When renewed pressure comes
these pipes are continually bursting
and portions of the city are again left
without water until the breaks can be
repaired. New mains are urgently
necessary on King street, Queen street,
Fort street, and part of Beretania
street. The present ones are not only
incapable of carrying the necessary
supply, but some of them have been
in use so long that they are not worthy
of repair.
"The reservoir sites and water rights
in Nuuanu Valley should all be owned
by the Government.
Estimates have been carefully pre-
pared for pumping plant for Homo
lulu at cost approximating S25, 800.
1t is proposed to have Blake's Pump
ing Engine of the best 'COrliss' type,
with capacity OF from two and one
half to three million gallons in the
twenty four hours, forced to an eleva-
tion of one hundred and fifty feet,
through one mile OF tWenty-1nch
main, or through number of mains
producing the same results. The
westerly wing of the stone building,
formerly used as a barracks, has been
selected as a convenient site for the
erection of the pumping plant, the
pump to be supplied from the artesian
well in the Executive Building
grounds. Should il be found neces-
sary the well at Militant, the Court
House grounds, can also be connected
with this plant"

ARTHUR'S LITTLE JOKE.
Young Fitzgerald Thinks He Has
One on the Police

1t has been reported recently
that young Arthur Fitzgerald had
been selling sword canes to any
one who would buy. The police
heard of the fact, and orders were
given to bring the enterprising
youth to the police station when
ever he was seen with a cane in
his possession. Arthur heard OF
this decision, and last night he
fooled the police.
About 10 o'clock the boy was
standing on Nuuanu street, with d
fierce looking Japanesr cane in mis-
possession. Two native policemen
spotted him and swooped dcwa
upon him. Arthur appeared vir~
tuously indignant, and refused TO-
allow the officers - inspect the
cane. insisting on being taken TO
the station house. On the way
down, he was very careful TO grasp
the stick by the part where spring
button of sword cane would
naturally be.
When he arrived at the station
house, the officers took the cane
away from him and closely exam
ined it, but no spring was TO be
found. Then they pulled on il,
but no sword appeared. All this
time Arthur was looking on, well
pleased 10 have the laugh ON the
police for once. They have had il
on him so many times, that it was
"a refreshing change He was. of
course, released, and now no viii

It's Definition Depends upon Who it ID
that "COnspires"
In all the contests between empIoy9 and
employer, similar to the one now going
on, it is noticeable that it is the employers
that appeal to the courts and ask for mill
tsry aid Another noticeable circumstance
Is, that they generally get all they ask for
in this direction. Is this because they are
always right and the workmen are always
wrongf It is generally conceded that the
laborers have right to organize, but what
forr 1t is also conceded that they have a
right to quit work when they feel so dis
posed.
1t is denied by many that workingmen
have any kind of right to prevent in any
way other people from taking their places.
Yet In doing this they are only doing what
is practiced by some corporations, nota
bly, the Pullman corporation. There are
also railroad companies that are successful
in almost every instance by conspiring
together in preventing certain discharged
employees from securing work from any
other company. They do not use force
to attain this end, but they accomplish 1t
nevertheless.
There are many former railroad ON
ployes who testify that they have been
forced to engage in other business because
after being discharged, they found that
wherever they applied for work under
another company they were blacklisted
They are asked where they have worked
and, on giving the information, the tele.
graph is brought into play, and they are
soon informed that their services are not
needed. Yet they do not invoke the ai6
of the courts or of the federal authorities
knowing well that no attention would
be paid them if they did.-Topeka Stat.

From the Topeka State Journal. July ISL
"Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, in her speech at
the city park yesterday, said that the
Pullman company managers sent sdito-
rails to Topeka, and of course to other
towns, for publication. The Journal can
throw q little light on this subject.
"Early last week this paper received
through the mails collection Of edito-
rails, written and printed by Chicago
editors. The typographical work was sx-
cellent, and on the best of book paper,
and the editorials so arranged that they
could be clipped out and reprinted. Thsre
was nothing about the package to indicate
who sent it, but presumably Il was sent a
the direction of Vice President Wickes, OF
the Pullman company. The Journal did
not use the editorials, firstly, because Il
prefers to make its own comments on
passing events; secondly, because they
did not agree with its views of the matters
and thirdly, because it does MT like ready
made opinions furnished by outsiders.

Pitts Calamity Howl.

In 1871, William Pitt said in the British
parliament:
"Let the Americans adopt the funding
system and go into their banking institu-
tions, and their boosted independence will
be a mere phantom"
Pitt was neither fool nor calamity
bowler" He was pretty we'll up in British
finance, however, and just reminded his
countrymen of the easy possibility of ao-
comprising, by business methods" what
they had failed to do by force of arms.
And as to the truth of his prediction, let
each one answer for himself. Tell us, o,

man of business; ye moneyless tramp,
and workingman out of job; ye skilled
mechanic, working on half time and get
ting "stand-off " in lieu of wages tell

boasted "liberty" and independence"

The reform railroad assessors have re-
duced the railroad assessment 13 per cent,
and vindicated the republican board of two
years ago. But there will never be a vim
dication Of the reduction of the Pullman
assessment by the reformers last year.
That was an outrage that ought not to be
orgotten.-Topekd Capital.
The Capital is talking about something
that it knows nothing about, as no one
can tell what the per cent. one way or the
other will be until the totals are made up
by the assessors. If any reduction appears,
1t Will be caused by less property being
returned by the railroad companies this
year. The Pullman sleeper assessment 10
increased $500 per car this year.

Up to their Old Tricks.

The news from Oregon has at last come
in by freight, and the counting is still 60
ing on. The republicans have the election
machinery, and if the count is not correct,
it is their fault. The Portland Leader
contains columns relating instances of
frauds at the ballot box, repeating and
stuffing, and all manner of chicanery
usually practiced by politicians of the old
parties. 1t relates one instance where
the count shows more republican votes cast
than there are inhabitants-men, women,
and chiIdren-in the precinct. The repub-
licans of Oregon followed the example set
by the Virginia democrats last fall: set
the figures for the majority the day OF
election, and then counted to them. Our
boys are as badly organized as they were
in this state when Willis was counted out,
in 1891.-Ecch0nge.

NEW YORK LEDGER" ON THE POP
ULIST PLATFORM.

Declares against Usury and Favors Gov
eminent Loan and Aid Associations
and Government Banks-HOpe for the
PeOPle-An Honest Paper.
Robert BOnner's paper, the New Yorh
Ledger, feels forced to take stand against
the usury of the Shylocks. If the Ledge,
keeps right on, it will prove of great
service to the peoples party, for more
than a million people read it every week
1t says:
"For many years one of the crying
evils of large cities has been the extor
tions of money lenders. Whoever has
gotten into temporary emergency and
found it necessary to realize on some
thing has learned to his sorrow that the
tender mercies of the Shylocks are cruel
indeed. Every one is liable to experience
temporary embarrassment, and under the
old regime this meant the most merciless
greed on one side, and the payment of a
rate of usury that amounted to little
short of robbery on the other.
"Of late our cities have been overrun
with money lenders who advanced certain
sums, more or less, on furniture and per
sonsl property. Most of the borrowers
were people whose social or other condi-
ton was such that they were willing to
endure almost anything rather than make
their distress public. On this we'll under
stood fact the lenders operated, and ex-
torted their full pound of flesh without
discount or delay.
ga very large number of these transac
tions would scarcely bear the light of day,
but the parties most concerned have in
| almost all cases refused to enter any COM
plant, and the perpetrators of these out
RACES have gone on growing more bold
| and insolent with every success.
"The government pawnbroker has long
been Paris institution, and the state has
derived no little benefit from this way OF
conducting business.
"Some day let Us hope that there will
be government loan and building asso-
citation, where extortion will be impossi-
BILE, and where bubbles and quirks and
| technicalities, by which hard working
people are done out of their possessions,
will be unknown. If these things pay pri-
vate individuals, they certainly would pay
the government, and these, with the saw
| ings banks and various industries turned
| into government hands, would put the
| masses of the people in a much better
condition, would afford reliable employ
ment and investments that, even though
| they were smaller in aggregate profit,
would be absolutely safe, and would take
away from those who have but little be
tween them and need the continual worry
which the management of the average
savings bank has made inevitable. When
q man lends to the government he feels
safe; when Uncle Sam takes care Of his
little hoard, he feels small necessity fol
worrying about it."

standard, and, what was worse, did it with

standard, and, what was worse, did Is with
the foreign air of conspiracy.
We cannot afford to repeat that error
The time has come for decision, and the
decision must be open. You can act with
confidence that your Judgment Is at least
as good as that of any other man. Neither
the banking interest nor any other has for
the time right to claim superior knowl-
edge or wisdom. In view of the ruin they
have wrought and the vaster ruin which
they threaten, no risk that in their opin-
ion you may seem to run can cause q mo-
ments fear.
TIE SOURCE OF REPUBLICAN POWER.
Even those who oppose the return of the
republican party to its old principles win
admit that those principles would give 1t
power for another generation. We need
only to be true to ourselves; We need only
so to assist and maintain our own oonvic-
lions, and no other party, born or unborn,
can take the field from "a as long as we
choose to hold it. No other party can
represent, as we do, the whole national
instinct-a ali our industries, all our popu-
lar energies, all our conservative caution.
As long as the republican party holds 10
Its duty of representing the whole nation,
it must hold sway, unless something
stronger than the nation arises.
The task before us is to restore normal
activity to industry, to break down the
barriers of sectionalism, to check the in
cressing tension between the rich and the
poor, to relieve agriculture, to save the
small farmer and Misunderstanding word,
to smooth away the threatening dangers
OF discomfort. The republican party alone
has power to do this, and to carry on our
society for at least another generation
without further disaster you have only TO
adopt a platform of four words, and to
take your stand on it firmly, courageously,
with honest determination to be true to it
The party has always maintained the ma
tional principle of high tariff. You whose
deepest and best interests depend upon its
success have alone the power to add free
silver" Very truly yours,

to a morning paper from Washing

Cleveland to which he has made
no response was one which was a

address as "Emil Krey, corner Of

dent to send him hand organ

city in the United States. The let
ter was evidently written In good
faith, but if Private Secretary Thur

ceived at the White House he
would require the assistance of a

Had Cause for Murder.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. H.
George X. Whitworth, clerk and
master of Chancery court, who
shot and killed Chancellor Allison
Wednesday, is still alive but can
not recover.
In an ante norton statement
Whitworth says that at Allison's
first election as chancellor, the
latter told him he would not APP
point him unless he (Whitworth)
would agree to divide the fees Of
office. This Whitworth says he
agreed to do, and in addition,
sums he loaned Judge Allison at
different times amounted to $26, 600.
He says he endeavored to get
Judge Allison to secure this
amount to secure himself and pro-
tect his bondsmen, and when he
learned Judge Allison would not
agree to settlement he determ.
ined to kill him.
