One evening, about fortnight later, I stepped out of my office for the double purpose of enjoying pipe and a stroll in the open air. The hour was late, at least for that community of early ris- ing and early retiring, and few lights were to be seen in any of the cluster oi farmhouses. A faint gleam from one of the upper rooms of the house across the way showed that Mrs. Loring was wooing slumber under the protection of her night-lamp. She ard her niece, tav ing arrived that day, were now in full possession of their new quarters. Both had stood the journey well. Mrs. LOT ing, in fact, was never more cheerful than when on the wing. The invalid had greeted me with effusion, while Miss Gray had displayed cordiality that was almost too fuil O. friendliness and too lacking in self-consciousncss to please my fancy. Cheerful good-fel- lowship was, perhaps, all that had req fattering result of many tete-a- tete in the moonlight of the tropics.
 The night was clear, and, though there was no moon, it was pleasant to stroll along, reviewing the events of our acquaintance and speculating upon the effects of it's renewal. I was fol- lowing the path to the knoll, and so en- grossed were my meditations that on raising my eyes from the ground I was surprised to find myself close to the base of it's landward slope. was on the point of turning back, when 1 heard a voice recognizable as La.nar's, which seemed to come from the northern side of the little hill, at the base of which, as has been set forth, was one of the saltwater creeks. The words were not to be distinguished, but his tone gave evidence that the business he was engaged in had nothing alarm ings about it, although, from the hour selected for carrying it on, it was likely that he desired to avoid observation II might be well to prove to him that even at such time and place he could not be sure that some loiterer was not about, and to give practical illustra- ton of the need of sentinel: at least ! that was the excuse I framed for advanc- iHS.

The craft was moored to the rocks, to which man was transferring number of cases and packages. A little way up the slope, directing the operation, stood Lamar.

Water Meters.

The water-meter proposition has again
been presented. this time TO Congress
through the medium o. reports on the sub
Jcct prepared by the assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner who has been MAX

era! months 1t cansn be denied that
there Is much more water poured into the

recently is to recommend as a remedy for
this waste the measuring of all water fur

This remedy would be exceedingly costly.
1t Is thought that the total expenditure for
meters would amount to fully million dol

Again, the Sugar Trust.

1t was to be expected that when the Sen
ate proceeded to the consideration of the
annexation treaty the sugar trust would
move upon the capital and put itself in
evidence. 1t is here. 1t has begun its
work 1t has charged itself with the task
OF defeating the treaty. and it proceeds
upon its well-known lres. Is 1t possible
for such an organization to succeed in
business antagonistic to the best Interests
of the whole country? The fight distinctly
is between the sugar trust and the coun-
try. On the one side is a corporation seek
ing to extend its money-making power and
opportunity; on the other is the government
itself seeking to fulfill its destiny and ex-
tend its boundaries to meet imperative
duty. Simply to state the case ought to
be sufficient to decide the case. But SO
shrewd is the sugar trust. so far-reaching
In its influences and connections that
those who have the interests of the coun-
try at heart and would advance them find
many difficulties put in their way.
Naturally the sugar trust essays the
part of champion of the people. Labor
organizations are warned against horde
of Asatics. which they are assured will
be let in if the Hawaiian Islands are an
nexed. The farmers of the west and the
northwest, and particularly those inter-
ested in the beet sugar industry. are told
tfat annexation will mean the destruction
of that industry. The result is flood of
petitions to Congress, thoughtlessly signed,
in protest against annexation. There is
TO ground for fear in either case. Annex
alton means neither opening the gates TO
the Asiatics. nor obstruction to the beet
sugar industry. American labor will suffer
no loss whatever. nor will the beet sugar
Industry. pushed upon business lines, be
robbed of any of its opportunity. The
sugar trust alone would benefit from the
defeat of annexation and the consequent
passiTg of the Hawaiian Islands under
the sovereignty of some European power.
The question is with the Senate ard the
Senate knows. or ought to know, the sugar
trust. The seyereSt of the criticism it has
received within the past decade has grown
out of the InaneuVering of that rapacioJs
corporation in the revisions of the tariff.
The trust triumphed in the tariff bill of
1894. 1t was reDuked by the Senate only
last spring. But again the trust presents
itself with braZen claim to shape govern
mental policy. 1t cannot succeed. Sena-
tors who value their good name will be
wary of consorting with such company
as against the welfare of the country.

certain charitable institutions. Recent in
oriries showed that large percentage Of
the total waste could be traced to three
such institutions. These establishments
should first be equipped with meters. There
is no reason why the actual amount Of
waste in these places cannot be determined.
departments and all. After the percentage
of waste thus caused has been fixed an
effort should be made to include in the list
of large users who by law are required to
employ meters and pay in proportion to use
those establishments and even residences
that are not now so equipped, but cause
heavy drains on the supply. Care should
at the same time be taken to insure honest
returns from the meters. 1t has been
shown that not only are meters unreliable,
but that there are ways to divert the water
from the registering apparatus and yet use
it on the premises which the meter is sup
posed to guard.
When these heavy items of waste have
been determined and measured the Com
missioners should next seek to ascertain
how large is the leakage from pipes and
mains before the spigots of the private
consumers are reached. 1t is known that
many of the old mains are leaky, having
been badly laid or being broken by acci-
dents and by the intrusion of tree roots into
their joints. Electrolysis- may have added
to the infirmities of the pipes. and it is
more than probable that the ground is
saturated with water escaping from the
supply mains.
These items of waste, which undoubtedly
exist, ought not to be charged by any pos
sibility to the account of the private user.
whose free and unrestricted enjoyment of
the water should be regarded as a public
benefit, tending to the preservation OF
health. If, after this series of eliminations.
there still appears to be an unwarranted
waste on the part of the citizens, then the
water meter may be regarded as a last re-
sort, but only to be utilized when the frac-
ton of Individual waste becomes too heavy
to be borne.
On general principles it would seem wiser
to spend a million of the public money in
purifying the Potomac water to the benefit
of the community's health, in the un-
mistakable increase of the water supply by
the completion of the tunnel, than to make
the same expenditure for the benefit Of
some seller of water meters in an attack
upon an alleged extraordinary waste by
the domestic consumers, the extent of
which is as yet largely matter of guess
work.

Open the Library at Night.

Senator Wetmore yesterday laid before
the Senate a petition that ought to produce
results along the line of its plea. 1t urged
Congress to take action enabling the libra
rtan of Congress To carry out his desire to
open the great collection of books at night.
1t was signed by 15.Op0 citizens of the Dis
trict. including people in every walk of life.
with marked preponderance, however, of
students and instructors. This petition
could readily have been swelled to include
a hundred thousand names if mere num-
bers had been desired to bring directly to
the notice Of Congress the pressing necessi-
ties of this community as the nations capi-
tai for such library privileges as it should
possess. But the petition as il stands, with
its great list of signeTs. should amply serve
the purpose. 1t should indeed be sufficient
for a single citizen to point to the need for
the projected development of the lbrary's
usefulness. The recommendation of the
librarian should have been enough to settle
the matter at once. But the House did not
see the force Of the proposition that the
library will rot reach its full value to the
nation until its books are within the reach
of every reader in the community, whether
permanently or transiently a resident OF
the capital. at such hours as do not inter
fere with the ordinary duties of life. In
the case of probably ninety-five per cent of
the people who desire to consult the books
ii is practically Impossible to secure this
privilege, because of the restrictions now
necessitated by the smallness of the ap-
propriations. The Senate should by all
means amend the legislative appropriation
bill by inserting the item that Librarian
Young suggests and then insist upon its
retention at all hazards.

A DOg-in-the-Man Policy.

Judge Noah Davis.
If we reject the proffered annexation we
must declare that no other power of the
Wcrld shall accept it., and thus invoke and
create animosities more extensive and in
furious than will ever grow out of our ac-
ceptance. If 1.-The Monroe doctrine ap-
plies, then rejection Is more than likely to
breed war; for some great naval power now
existing. or rapidly growing, will possess
and obtain dominion Cwith or without con-
sent of HawaiD. leaving us no other course
than to win by force of arms a country
which is now begging us to accept and pro-
tect her.
To annex Hawaii now. at her own en-
treaty, is peace-permanent peace and pros
perity. AS part of our Union, and under a
territorial government. those islands will
soon become what Cuba would be now, il
Iorty years ago we had purchased her at
forty millions (as it was claimed we might
do) and had enfranchised her when slavery
ceased to be our curse.
There Is but one Hawaii in the world and
that must be a part of our American re-
public now; by her own free will and gift.
or by and by by the bloody arbitrament of
war. 1t is for us to choose
