Asiatic Increase.

The estimate OF the Superintend-
ent OF the Census is that the total
population of the islands will be
found to be about 10000 when all
the returns have come in. That
will mean an increase of about 20
600 during the last six years. 1t
will now be of interest to learn from
what nationalities this increase is
drawn. Some of course is due to
the natural increase among the resi-
dents OF the islands and it is sale to
predict that the Portuguese and the
part -Hawaiians are in the lead. The
greater part OF the increase, how.
ever, is undoubtedly due to Asiatic
immigration

islands of the same class. The

contracts. What the end is going
to be is not difficult to foresee. The
expression used come years ago by a
prominent Kauai planter that the
Hawaiian Islands are only fit for
plantation managers and coolies to
live in, settles the whole question in
nutshell.
What benefit does the country at

beside their attendant coal ships,
which will require equal or greater
accommodation. BY the end OF 1900,
or four years hence, 21 steamers a
month must be cared for. Indeed
the ratio Of increase is likely to ac-
celerate. And the additional ships
are likely to average greater length,
tonnage and speed than the present
ones.
1t is evident that our harbor fac
ilities are going to be strained to
the utmost. At times there will be
six or eight ships simultaneously in
port, in hurry to coal up and be
off, At present there are only two
suitable wharves. Two more are
projected, and IL is hoped, will be
available in year or more. Another
pair are intended to follow, say in
two or three years from date. Pro-
badly other available locations for
deep water wharves may be found
in the harbor. Whenever an Isth-
mian Canal is opened, a large addi-
tional fleet OF steamers will pour in
upon us. 1t seems doubtful whether
room for them can be found at all
in this harbor, or whether docksge
could be constructed fast enough.
There is however, the amplest
room to be found in Pearl Harbor.
The time is evidently not distant
when the use Of that commodious
haven will be imperatively required.
1t remains to be seen whether the
United States will dredge out and
open the bar for the pur pose of
Naval Station in time for our com
mercial necessities, or whether the
Hawaiian Govern ment will be com
PEELED to assume the task. Our
commercial prospects are certainly
promising.
1t is the impression of The INDE-
PENDENT that little by little the
harbor Of Honolulu will be improv-
ed to meet exigeucies without the
aid OF the United States. The mis-
sionary element so ably represented
in the Friend raised mammoth bust
ness establishments, ornate homes
and the family compact" without
the financial assistance Of the United
States. They uprooted a monarchy
and established a military oligarchy
They downed the many and uplfted
a few. Surely the small matter of
creating harbor can be controlled
by them. While we cannot recall

We humbly suggest to tho managers
of our different theatrical companies,
amateur and professional, that they
stop the absurd custom of ringing
up the curtain every time salvo Of
applause greets au actress or an
actor 1t is not tolerated in any Of
the first class opera houses or State
theatres in Europe, and AS we con.
slider our new Opera House of the
same standing, we should initiate
the older institutions in abandoning
what really is as much OF a nuisance
as is an encore in an opera. The
illusion which is the main part in
the dramatic art is certainly marred,
when, say heroine dies in terrible
agony, and the audience is dissolved
in tears, to have the curtain rung
up and the deceased" bowing her
acknowledgment to her moved"
audience. Take 81 Trovatore."

plause rang through the house. The

Mr.. Paul d. Iseuberg, in evening
dress, aud hows his acknowledge
ment, and is greeted with more ap-
plause. Exit Mr.. Isenberg and enter
a few moments after Manrco (Ley-
ers) in hose aud doublet. OF course
it was very fortunate that Mr.. Isen-
berg was willing to sing and there
by give Honolulu a true musical
treat, but the illusion as far as the
opera is concerned was certainly de-
stroyed. AS we'll may the whole
company appear in evening dress
and sing their parts without acting
or staging. But then it would not
be dramatic performance, it would
simply be concert.
