SEWERAGE.

1t is satisfactory to know that the
Cabinet has the money in hand to
commence work upon the sewerage
system for Honolulu and that it will
be pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible. AS we all know it is most vital
to the health of the town to have
proper sewerage system, and it has
been talked of for long time without
coming to fruition. The cheapest part
of initiating anything is the talking
about it, Now, however, the true be-
ginning is in sight, and in the course
of three months or so work will really
be commenced.
There will be no amateur work about
our sewerage systeml Rudolf Herring
is man of wide experience and thor
oughly understands the scientific prin-
ciples and the practical working of
what he has planned and undertaken,
and the work is So laid out that the
system can be enlarged as it is needed.
1t is satisfactory to know that the
money that is going to be spent will be
spent to good purpose, and that there
will have to be no reorganizing of the
plans or botching of any kind. When
it is done, it will be thoroughly done,
and with due care will last as long as
the city lasts. for it can be expanded
as the city expands.
In arranging for our greater harbor
why should we not call in like expert
skill as that of Rudolf Herring in the
matter of sewerage The federal gov
eminent has at its command men equ-
ally skilled in the formation of harbors
as he is in his particular line. There
is no one here who has practical skill
in the matter. Each man has some
theory, and oft times the theories clash.
What we need is a thoroughly expe-
rienced man who can bring upon our
harbor the experience gathered from
the work upon many harbors That is,
we want a man who has practical eX-
perience and not a mere theoretical
reader of books.
Any man can read all about a loco
motive but until he has served a prac-
tical apprenticeship he would be utter
ly unfit to run a locomotive. So a
man could read up all about sewerage
systems and harbor improvements and
make some kind of job out of 1t, but
the job would be amateur work and
would never prove satisfactory
What it is now proposed to do in the
harbor is purely a makeshift. That
is acknowledged by nearly all who give
the matter a thought 1t is in the
usual line of stopping leaks with rags
instead of making permanent repairs,
a very common method adopted on the
Islands and a very costly one in the
end. Then let us have the same good
advice for our harbor improvements as
we have had for our sewerage system

The amendment to the Hepburn bill
proposed by Representative Barham,
may put the Nicaragua canal project
on it's legs. There has always been diff
ficulty about acquiring sovereignty and
the Clayton Bulwer treaty has stood
in the way. The latter there will be
no difficulty in abrogating, indeed some
of the English papers advocate that the
British government should itself make
the offer The former can be overcome
by the President acquiring fee simple
rights for sufficient strip of land for
defensive works. The Nicaragua canal
must be built soon, both trade and pol
itics demand it.

published, the crisis at Iloilo is over
and things are going smoothly. This,
however, is but a newspaper guess.
There is nothing official in the infor-
nation. on the other hand a cable
gram from Manila states that the con-
sentative Filipinos are anxious that
the United States troops should take
possession of the place, because they
are afraid the army might burn the
town after looting it. Another cable
gram says the Americans lose prestige
every day they fail to assert them
selves. And yet another says that
preparations are being made for an at
tack upon Manila.
From all this one cannot get a very
in that part of the world. Aguinaldo is
willy, as all men of his caliber are, and
is probably as well acquainted as any
any in the east with the details of
American party government. He is
simply playing a bluff in the hope OF
the anti-eXpansionists getting the up
per hand. The more turbulent he is,
the greater show of strength he dis
plays, the more strength he hopes to
put into the anti-expansionists.
But it is plain from the kilograms
that there is a section of the country
which breads Agunaldo & Co. getting
the upper hand. 1t is very signifi.
cant statement that they fear the ar
my will break loose and loot and burn
the town of Iloilo. That does not APP
pear to be a very healthy outlook for
the wealthy and hard working, if I'M
trammelled self-government is to be
given the Filipinos. 1t would mean that
the present army" would help itself
to everything it wanted, before Agui-
naldo settled down to ruling, which
would not rebound much to the credit
of the United States, for the result of
the war would then be to replace the
Spanish tyranny by domestic tyranny.
Again Aguinaldo and the people
about him are not such first class pat
riots In the last rising which was put
down by General Polavieja, the meth
cd used to get rid of the patriot" lead
ers was bride of 100000, which Agui-
naldo accepted, but it is claimed never
divided properly, if he divided it at all.
This little transaction seems to have
sunk out of sight, but it is historical
ly correct, and there is ample evil
dence upon the testimony even of the
German navy.
The only national method of deal
ing with the situation is to assume the
government and carry it on till the
country is in a condition to rule itself
Victory brings it's obligations, and in
this case the obligation is to ensure
good government and protect the prop
erty of those who have fallen into the
hands of a strong civilizing power.
OF course the anti-expansionists
have argument on their side, and one
even points to Hayti as a lesson. He
considers Hayti as better today than
it was hundred years ago. In this the
arguer is wrong, for nearly all ac-
counts of Hayti agree that the inhab-
itants of that state have refrigerated
and the history 'of Hayti for the last
hundred years is one of nothing but
revolution, murder and rapine. Only the
other day a woman escaped from Hay
ii, with her child, because she was
afraid it might be eaten during an obi
festival. Hayt is not a good exam
pie of elf-government by low class
people.

Louisiana, is not clear; there is
