GIBRALTAR AND ITS DEFENSE


Possibilities in the Event of Attaox by
Hostile Force.
Experiments at Shoeburyness have
shown that an Armstrong shell can
be thrown 9,176 yards-about five
and one-third milos-says writer in
Temple Bar 1t is therefore abso-
lutely clear that il all the fleet were
temporarily absent, either on some
special mission or dispersed by IL
storm, hostile ironclads taking up a
position within four miles of the east
ward of Europe point might with i'm
punity send shot and she'll into the
outlying parts of the fortress and
cause much obstruction of life and
property. On the other hand,
the governor of the fortress
would not be idle, and the OK
periences of the late civil war in
America have abundantly proved that
the cannon in fortresses. if they
strike ship of war with their pro
jectiles, even at long range, may do
considerable mischief while. on the
other hand, many shot and shell may
strike Il fort and only do trilling dam
age. 1t is practically impossible to
throw shot or shell over the high part
OF the rock, near SPAIN and the
cannon ensconced in the unique rock
galleries, with their royal artillery
gun detachments, would be absolutely
safe. Even il the neutral ground be-
tween Gibraltar and Spain were occu-
pied by hostile foe, comparatively
little damage would be the result.
During the writer's stay at Gibraltar
it was considered desirable to try the
experiment OF firing upward from the
plain on the Spanish side into the gal
leries, dummies being placed to repre-
sent the necessary gun detachments.
A regiment several hundred strong
was accordingly placed in position and
supplied with ball cartridges The
range, however, was unknown, and
the fire being directed upward it was
fully an hour before any of the dunn
mics were hit, after the expenditure
OF much ammunition. In actual war
fare, of course, the British rifle sharp
shooters must have picked out their
foes by firing downward from the gal
leries. Bomb-proot barracks and hos
pitfalls are potent factors against the
horrors OF bombardment, and there is
little doubt that there is ample room
at Gibraltar for some amendment on
this head.

A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

Hawaii is proud of it's schools
and we'll it might be-in quail
fed sense. The school system is
good, the teachers are conscien-
tious and the results are excellent
considering the conditions under
which some of the scholars and
teachers labor but what of the
school buildings Good as a rule,
good as could be expected In the
outlying districts but the city of
Honolulu is sadly deficient. It's
representative school building is
an old, much worn wooden struc-
ture on Fort street. This institC
ton of learning serves the purpose
simply because there is nothing
better, but it is pertinent ques-
ton how long the city can afford
to continue to point to this build
ing as its representative school
building.
The Board of Education has
undertaken to impress upon the
people the necessity of replacing
this building with modern struc-
ture, and it has the support of
every friend of education IN its
labors. Few if any cities repre-
senting the population and wealth
of Honolulu would be satisfied to
allow it's high school scholars to
suffer the. disadvantages which
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-06-25

mus be experienced by the chill
dren Of Honolulu. 1t ia not mat
ter of sentiment by any means.
Provided scholars are of equal
intelligence, school books well Sc
lected and course of study mapped
out with equal care, teachers and
scholars housed in old-fashioned,
crowded rooms cannot do justice to
themselves or render the results
expected of them by the advance
in the educational methods Of to-
day.
School buildings, and especially
that of the highest grade of the
city, ought to be representative
structures, well lighted, well venti-
lated and arranged generally upon
modern ideas. The country is
putting the brains of its teachers
and scholars against heavy odds
when it withholds the cooperation
of capital in providing proper
accommodations. The Board of
Education ought not to be obliged
to argue the question much longer.
Public money used in school build
ings is capital well invested, on
which the interest is compounded
daily for an indefinite term of
wears.

Mr.. CASTLES lack of convivial
spirit has been mentioned as one
of the reasons why he should not
be sent to Washington. We must
admit that Mr.. Castle is not an
adept at drinking whisky or play
ing poker. If he were, certainly
this country would have no use
for him at Washington. When
the welfare Of this Republic de.
ponds upon the engaging manner
in which its representative says,
"Boys, let's have another round"
or his ability to down Senators
and Representatives in a game of
poker, the best thing the country
can do is to establish a national
school of Bar-room Etiquette and
Poker Principles.

ANYBODY BUT cAsTLE-BECAUsE

Truth, like murder is bound to
come to the surface sooner or later
and the old adage is as true in
politics as it is in private life.
After all its vain babblings in cry
ing down the appointment of w.
r. Castle, after an utter failure to
produce a sensible reason why the
name of Mr.. Castle should be re-
jected, our esteemed contemporary
casting about for something to sup
port its position bounds from pillar
to post and finally lands on the
foundation, ANYBODY but Castle"
The wheel of words finally re-.
wolves to the starting point, eve
don't like Castle any more, there
fore let US have anybody but Cas-
tle." It is unfortunate that our
esteemed contemporary does not
like Mr.. Castle, it is a misfortune
to have even the ill-wil of a dog,
but our esteemed contemporary
ought to have been in the business
long enough to realize that good
government and the welfare of
nation are not based on personal
likes and dislikes.
Of course, it will be claimed that
Anybody but Castle" does not
mean Anything personal" Pos
sibly it is a choice bit of brevity
which carries high purpose and
depth of reason, but it is method
of concise argument in which the
people must be more thoroughly
schooled before the person using it
as a weapon can be seen as he sees
himself.
Mr.. Castles opponents have OBJ
tanned stay in proceedings that
the Senate might more thoroughly |
investigate the position of these |
friendly enemies. And what has
been the result? The investigating |
committee finds that the native |
population almost to a man is unre-
servedly in favor of Mr.. Castle. They
believe that he will represent their
interests at Washington, as well as
those of every citizen of Hawaii. 1t
is also found that some people don't
want Mr.. Castle to go to Washing
ton. Why? ooh, because. Any
body but Castle" Because" was
once known as woman reason,
but the modern woman objects to
having it laid at her door. Yet we
are told it applies in this case.
We cannot believe that the high
est Legislative body in this country
will call on the President for an
other appointment, that Mr.. Castle
will withdraw, or that the Execu-
tive will look about for "anybody
but CASTLE" until some argument
is presented other than that
weighty conciusion-because.
