Perfection Of Modern Pumping Engines.
The standard attained by the per-
Torrance OF modern pumping engines
is pretty high, a. was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
In Nav York where some largo nump.
ing engines that had recently been SET
up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise, we're inspected by an expert In
such matters who hailed from an In
tarlor city. He remarked; well. those
engines work very nicely now. but wait
until you get to pumping water at that
speed, and then you viii hear some
thing from them probably" His aston
iahment may perhaps DO imagined
when II was demonstrated 10 him that
they were at that moment pumping
water, and had been continuously do
ing so for torty-eight hours.

A FABLE.

Once upon time there lived on
a small Island in a big Sea nice old
lady who was known as Mrs. People.
She had lots Of troubles besides a
fine terrier named "Gov." and a
talking parrot which she called
Bennie.
The Terrier was a very useful
little animal and looked after all the
belongings Of his mistress and kept
things in order.
The Parrot liked the Terrier, be-
cause be never interfered with
Bennie, when the beak Of the talk
ative bird went into the sugar bowl
or cracker box.
Gov" was happy and so was
Bennie until one day the vigilant
dog noticed that the sugar and
crackers belonging to Mrs. People
were disappearing at a wonderful
rate into the nav OF the much
talking bird.
The old lady's attention was called
to the fact. She seolded the bird,
but before she Rot through her lee
ture she was called to the telephone
by her big sister across the sea, and
when ladies talk there is no end to
it, as we all know.
While the old girl was talking an
nexation Bsnnie used his opport-
unity and tried to swallow all the
remaining sugar and crackers.
Little "Gov." however was watch
ing the interest OF bis mistress, and
when she returned she found her
beautiful Benni without head
among the remnants OF sugar
(wharves) and crackers, and the ter
rier looking proudly on.
When asked the meaning OF the
rumpus, little "Gov." licked his
chops, smiled and barked out, at is
Bsnnie's own fault. He talked too
much"

We have not space to republish
the whole special report verbatim
but will confine ourselves to repro
duce the findings OF the committee
which read as follows:
"Under no consideration should
the Government give up the rights
and privileges in or the immediate
control over any part or portion OF
the deep waterfront in the harbo,,
and yield gratuitously large revenues
to be derived by the Government
therefrom.
"The law under which the lease
was made does not contemplate the
REIMBURSEMENT of valuable terminal
franchises of Government property
to railways, which will not only cul
off future revenues but embarrass
our absolute necessities in harbor
Improvements.
"The obstructions which will ne.
cessarily be built up in the haibor
under the terms of this lease must
be avoided in the public interest.
"The lease will cause heavy ex-
penditure in the Customs Depart
ment and will render more difficult
and much more expensive the con
troll of and means to prevent Snug
Cling, as the testimony taken clearly
and amply shows.
"The lease will practically prevent
the construction of Government
wharves on the West side of Homo.
lulu harbor which is the only avail.
able and convenient place for such
public works.
"The rent provided for in the
lease is entirely inadequate.
"Your committee, therefore, beg
to Recommend to the Legislature

steps to cancel the lease on the best
possible terms and conditions which
can now be made in the interest Of

The Race Cup inscription

The answer to the enclosed is, as

In our ignorance we thought that
Mr.. Dillingham; wouldhave nursed
his supposed grievances in the sane
tum of his Office, while his "case" is
submitted to the learned judges Of
our Supreme Court. He has chosen
TO rush into print and Chambers OF
Commerce, and we consider it duty
to assist him in giving the greatest
publicity to the wharf question at
issue by printing the findings OF tho
special committee which reported
on the wharf steal on the 9Th OF
November, 1890. The Legislators
who composed the committee are
all friends OF Mr.. Dillingham; and
their opinion Of that date holds
good to-day.

There is one thing badly needed
in Honolulu, aud that is an Institu.

be called, where girls of tender
years, straying from the path laid
down by the laws, or neglected by
their parents can be- sent to, and
where they can be reformed" and
possibly become useful members of
the community.

Do not suppose for moment that
we speak for the Hawaiians only.
The foreigners here are as much in
need of an 'institution" for young
girls as are the natives of the land.
A few days ago young white"
girl was in the District Court, con-
nected with a case that we do not
care to refer to. The girl was a fit
subject for "home." Yesterday a
twelve years old girl plead guilty to
charge Of larceny, and what could
the Magistrate do except to allow
her tn go with warning" that ran
of her back as water does on duck.
The child could not be sent to Jail
under the circumstances, which
govern our prison. She certainly
could not be sent to the Reform
atory School for boys, and although
an admitted thief the Magistrate
was obliged to let her go at large to
steal some more and break the laws
with impunity.
