MAKE PREPARATION.


At the present time the labors of the
annexation commissioners have ceas-
ed, and they themselves are no longer
official personages in the eyes of the
United States All the work that has
been done will have to be practically
next session will be that all the docu-
ments required will be at hand, when
the new bill will be formulated.
But in the present condition of affairs
it is absolutely necessary that some
work will have to be done to keep the
territorial idea before the legislative
and executive bodies of the United
States. There should be some one in
Washington, a representative who
could give information and could min
gle with the prominent people and have
ever present in his mind that the Ha-
waiian Islands must be a territory.
The tendency at the next congress
will undoubtedly be to forget what is
Hawaii's just due and to relegate her
to a colonial position along with Porto
Rico and the Philippines. The coloni-
al idea is gradually working it's way
into popular favor, and information
upon the colonies of other nations is
now being collected so as to be at
hand. In the rush of greater interests
such as those of Porto Rico and the
Philippines certainly are, the peculiar
circumstances under which Hawaii en-
tered the union are liable to be forgot

600 of the Philippines. With all our
trade and our successful plantations.
and our many advantages, we are but
very little toad in the puddle. In
deed we are but a tadpole and not by
any means full grown batrachian.
Small as we are we showed our good
will to the Great Republic at a time
when good will meant taking a risk
ourselves. This risk we took and our
action should in justice be considered,
But however well we may have deserv-
ed, and however good a case we may
have, unless it is put forward and has
able advocates, it is apt to be lost.
Heaven helps them that help them
selves, says the proverb, and Congress
will help those who make themselves
heard and know what they want.
This is plane that all can meet up
on. There can be no division of parties
as to the desire of having a territorial
form of government rather than a CO.
lonial one. If for no other reason we
know what the territorial form is and
it is what we worked for, neither we
nor anyone else knows what will be
evolved for a colonial form.
1t is in no spirit of trying to find a
place for this man or for that man, or
for the adherents of this party or of
that party, but it is for the benefit of
the entire territory that some able
man should be at Washington to keep
the territorial idea to the fore.

The so-called government organ
seems to grind tunes not for the entire
administration, but for only section
of it. 1t expresses dissatisfaction with
the members of it's own family, and
throws mud into it's own nest. This is
the work of a very i'll bird, according
to the proverb, and proverbs express
the wisdom of the age in which they
are current. To the outsider it APP
pears as if there had been family
disagreement, and that the head of the
family had taken sides, but had not
come out on top, and was now trying
to get even by an underhand attack
upon those who had beaten him in a
square fight This may not be a cor
rect diagnosis, but it certainly is one
which is largely current in town, and
which is not conducive to heightening
political regulations.

The kilograms speaking of Herr Salt
as the new German consul at Samoa,
and dwelling upon the recall" of DR..
Raffel, are off their base. DIR. Raffel
was president of the municipality of
Apia, and Herr Salt has been appoint
ed in his place as president of the mu-
nicipality, and not as consul. DR.. Raj
fel had resigned from the position long
before the recent trouble, and why his
successor was not already on the is
lands is one of the things that is not
clear Dr. Raff1el should have been in
Germany months ago. The German
consul, Herr Rose, has not been re-
moved, and all arguments based on
the withdrawal of DIR. Raffel are made
on false premiss. However, Germa-
ny and the other powers intend to set
tie the matter amicably, and the va
rious consuls stand a good chance of
each getting raped over the knuckles.

The Vancouver people are having as
much of fight over a park at Dead
mans Island, as we have had here over
River park site. A delegation from
Vancouver visited Sir Wilfred Laurier
at Ottawa, but made nothing out Of
their effort, and the lease that the gov
eminent had effected upon the island
holds good. Governments seem to be
averse to park sites. Everything that
could be thrown in the way of River
park has been thrown in the way, and
now those who are interested in the
movement are waiting upon the pleas
ure of the authorities before they can
make a beginning. Plenty of soft
words are doled out, and unlimited
phrases indicative of sympathy with
the movement; but it is deeds, not
words, that the public would like.

THE NAVAL CONSTRUCTORS.

THERE is no corps in the navy that has under
gone so complete transformation in the past
twenty years as that OF the naval constructors.
On January I, 1880, there sixteen naval CON
structors and FIVE assistant naval constructors OF
which seven have died six retired and three still
remain in active service At the present time there
are twenty-one naval constructors and eighteen as
sistant naval constructors, making total OF thirty
nine officers in immediate charge of the construction
and repairs Of ships.
The constructors of twenty years ago were, in the
large majority men OF superior practical ability, who
had served long apprenticeship in the shipyard and
worked their way up. They were rather deficient in
the scientific branches according to the present stan
dard OF requirements OF Oaval constructor but that
they did their work well is shown by the records OF
the Hartford, Kearsage and many other ships Of the
old navy As graduates from the shipyard they were
in thorough sympathy with the workmen over whom
they had charge knew how to handle large gangs
and get the best results without needless friction and
it is only fair that the abuses in the navy-yards
OF those days were due to the acts OF higher officials
to which the constructors had to consent quit the
service.
Since 1875 no civilian appointments have been made
in that corps and all its members are graduates
from the Naval Academy. These are all highly edu-
Gated men, graduated after four years course at
the academy, supplemented by a couple of years at
foreign institutions of learning, and then commits
stoned as assistant naval constructors They are how
ever totally deficient in the practical part of their
profession in which their training begins when placed
in charge of men and work. The system is entirely
different from that OF other countries or, for that
matter, from the practice in private establishments,
where practical and theoretical knowledge in similar
positions absolutely requisite to the OF the
work and it would if our Navy Department
has gone from one extreme to another.
In order to qualify for command of a vesse-of-war
the officer has pass through successive grades and
examinations and it takes at least thirty years ex-
perence to become competent to command vessel
like the Texas On the other hand, the ship was
built by one Of the Annapolis assistant naval con-
sructors who had less than years experience in
charge OF work, and the record OF this "hoodoo"
ship eliminating Santiago with bursting her decks
through the conclusion of her guns, disproves
the wisdom OF having inexperienced men to under
take such important work as ship building.

new navy, built or in course OF construction, hun
dred and SIX are from plans OF the late Chief Con-
structor 7. D. Wilson and Philip Hichborn present
chief OF the Bureau of Construction Both of these
officers were practical shipwrights, and their handi-
craft compares favoraby with that of other naves.
-Four vessels, the Indiana class and the Bancroft,
are credited to the Annapolis constructors five
from foreign designs, and two others, the Katahdln
and Dolphin, by outsiders. The old shipwrght con-
structors appear to have done pretty we'll and the
new members OF the corps are likely to be as efficient
after long tedious and costly apprenticeship.
Just all is not so satisfactory as it should be,
for there complaints from workmen at Mare Isl
and of too much militarism in connection with the
work. 1t is not to the liking OF California ship
wr1ghts and other mechanics to be treated if they
were enlisted men, but this condition. while it is not
conducive to good and economical work. is the natu
raj result OF change of system. Complaint is made
that the present naval constructor is tyrannlca and
the Navy Department has been asked to have him
transferred. Similar complaints have been made
twice since 1891, and it is not likely that any
attention will be paid to this protest against
popular officer than has been vouchsafed the griev
ance Of IS per cent reduction in the shipwrght's
pay within the past year
In view OF the fact that the last Congress added
from 80 to so per cent to the officers salaries, the
mechanics and laborers are slow to comprehend why
they should receive less pay at Mare Island than is
current in San Francisco There is marked change
in the condition and treatment of workmen at the
navy-yards which are gradually becoming similar to
those OF Europe. They are harasscd by rules and
regulations such as prevail board vesses-of-war,
and the officers are confidently looking forward to
the establishment of an enlisted force, clerks,
chanics and laborers, such as exists in the German
navy. From military view it may be considered
quite proper to have the working force domciled
in barracks, going to and from their work to the
music Of drum and fife and the boatswains whistle to
time the riveters and calkers. Things seem to be
drifting that way.
