ELECTRIC PUMPING.
Innovations at OlOwalu may be

Theo. Hoffman, manager of the Ha-
waiian Electric Co., recently paid a
visit to Olowalu plantation and in
stalled an electric plant for pumping
water from wells. The power is OBJ
tanned from a mountain stream about
a mile distant from the well. The
plant has not yet been put in operation
as the pipes are not all laid, but man
ayers of plantations throughout the
group are watching with a great deal
of interest the result of the innovation
at Olowalu.
Mr. Hoffman left for Kauai yes
terday for the purpose of investigating
the conditions of the water supply at
Makaweli. If it is satisfactory a plant
will be installed there in the same
manner as at Olowalu. With the cleo
trio plan there is no waste of water
as it passes into the ditch after doing
service as a motive power in running
the dynamo. If Olowalu and Makaweli
can secure sufficiently strong power
for pumping, by the use of electricity
and without the expense of fuel. other
plantations will follow. Mr.. Hoffman
will return on Sunday next and will
report to his company the result of
his investigation.

The full Bench of the Supreme Court

The changes in the business meant

Judgment for defendant
The case, reviewed. is this: ]. T.
Waterhouse entered into a contract on
June 4. 1895, with William G. Weldon
to pay him a salary of $500 month
and a bonus of $500 at the end of each
year for three years. They both agreed
that if a change was brought about in
the business, provisions should be
made for the protection of PLAINTIFF S
interests. Mr.. Weldon accepted the
conditions and served under it until
the death of Mr.. Waterhouse, on March
2. 1896, and served the defendant ex-
ecutrix of the will until July 1, 1896
Mrs Waterhouse then sold the bust

Bryan's Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
n great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion Of the silver question at tins
time? IT is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
pie can learn "a whole lot about silver
and the effect of cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years. They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them TO know during the four short
months of the last campaign. 1t is no
ticeable that in the states where the
question was most discussed the ma
iorities against Bryan were heavy or
his maiorites were unexpectedly
small.
If the silverites will think of the
great amount Of work done in the
states west of Pennsylvania. east of Col
orado and north of tennessee and re-
fleet upon the result of the election,
they will, if they are wise and want to
win in 1900, conclude to drop educa-
tional work and to proceed on some less
dangerous line. If Bryan and his
friends would stop talking about sill
YER for three years. il would be difficult
for the "goldbugs" to get people 10 lis
ten TO their convincing arguments.
If our hard times should unfortunately
continue, Bryan might step out few
days before the 1900 election and say:
81 told you So" and majority of the
voters, without having given the mat
ter much thought, might conclude that
perhaps the "crme of 1873" was re-
sponsibe for the lack Of prosperity.
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity TO any
country, though they have often
brought hard times. The wage earn
ers will understand that sixteen to one
is an undermined scheme to lower
wages and the farmers that they can
not, 10y JUGGLING with cheap money get
any advantage of the rest OF the world
in The matter of prices of farm prod
ucts.
This educational work must be
stopped short, or the cause of free sill
YER is lost.
