HoNoLULU's HARBoR TOO sAAL
LOW,

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that it is said at Washington that the
Oregon would have gone to Honolulu
some weeks ago if it had been possible
to get her into the harbor The little
cove in the reef which suffices for
Honolulu commerce is not deep enough
10 accommodate a first class ship. I'm
less some emergency arises. therefore,
the Oregon viii remain here upon
waiting orders, as she has done since
the japanese scare began.
If American battleships cannot get
into the harbor Of Honolulu, how can
this country have a great naval sta
ton there, if the islands should be an
nexed? The value of the islands to
this country, it has been urged by the
annexationists, consists very largely
Of their availability as a naval station
for a fleet which could sweep the
the very first time it is proposed to
send first class battleship to the chief
harbor the fact is developed that the
harbor is too shallow to accommodate
one There may be other harbors in
the islands that would permit of the
entrance of large vessel but they viii
not be of much use in the event of a
naval attack on the only city in the
islands.
If the islands are annexed. as now
seems likely. they viii add no strength
to this country but rather be a source
Of weakness, for they will have to be
de1e1 lea, which means a lessening Of
the power to defend our own coasts.
for it would take just as many war
vessels to defend the islands from cap
ture, in case OF a determined effort by
large and powerful fleet to capture
them, as to defend any of the coast
cities from capture And it is the
hardest thing in the world for an
ordinary citizen to stand at the Golden
Gate and see what possible protection
to San Francisco the possession of the
Hawaiian islands by this country
would be. The ordinary citizen cannot
see how the annexation of the islands
would prevent a fleet of war vessels
assailing any city on the Pacific coast
that it chose to. Those cities must de-
pend on their own defenses and not
upon Hawaii for their safety.

The exhibition of 1851 taught Eng
land the need of industrial art train
ing, and the South Kensington
museum, with its allied schools
throughout the kingdom, was an out
come of the discovery there made that
France, in particular, was beginning to
outstrip England because of the gen
eral diffusion of art education among
her workers says the Philadelphia
Ledger All the nations of Europe ac-
cepted the same lesson, and Great
Britain is still behind Germany and
France in the training of artisans. We
had a similar lesson in 1876, and the
stimulus then given to industrial art
and technical education has had it's
effect both in the establishment of
schools like the Boston Institute of
Technology, the Pennsylvania mu-
scum and various other private enter
prises. and in the development of
manual training schools as part of
the public school system. But nothing
worthy of a great manufacturing and
eminently practical people has been
done, nor can it be done until the entire
public school system has been revised
so as to make it lead up to technical
education, carried on at the expense Of
the state for the good of all the PEG
Pile The manufacturers of the country
can do much to promote this develop
ment by making themselves familiar
with the work already done and help
ing to keep the technical and trade
schools already established in close
touch with the industries of the coun-
try, instead of allowing them to be-
come mere scholastic institutions de-
pendent upon book learning and far
removed from the practical work of the
factory or machine shop.

DECLINE IN STOCK VALUES.

When the first signs of returning
prosperity we're nosed some weeks s.nca,
ore Of 0ae great evidences of it was
the rise in the values of leading active
stocks. and the rise in them was spoken
Of as 50 much Increased wealth. And
Sc it was to thnse who held the stocks

them, but not otherwise. The fact Of
the matter is that rise or fall in
stocks is quite as much a maa.er Of
professional manipulation, very often,
as anything else When prices huc-
tuate more or less violently no wealth
is added to or taken from the country
generally, and at such times prices can
only be taken as Indicating the fever
ishness of the market and not as telling
OF the actual revival or halNag of pros
perity.
Last week there was more or less
huctuation in some Of the lea.atr,y
stocks, the slump in the market be
tween the closing of the New York
stock exchange Monday and the clos
ing Tuesday indicated total loss of
S2S.laS.50O in twenty five leading stocks.
Here is list of them:
