STRIKING JAPs.

The Lahaina strike is likely to prove
a somewhat serious affair. The infor-
nation concerning it is not very def
mite, but this is certain, that some Of
the laborers have had power enough to
form party which is able to coerce the
remainder of the laborers and prevent
their going to work.
1t has been frequently pointed out
that the Japanese of the lower classes
are apt organizers and that the masses
are kept in terror by few turbulent
minds. It is this which accounts for
the manner in which criminals are
shielded. 1t is the hardest thing in the
world to get evidence for conviction,
and the apprehension of Japanese Grim
inals is often extremely difficult, many
getting off, and always through the
shielding of apparently peaceable and
law-abiding Japanese.
1t is evident now that the ringleaders
have gone a step farther and are ca
pable of organizing an extensive strike
and SO manipulating 1T that the num-
beers under their control can be display
ed to such advantage that they may
over-awe their employers. We have had
strikes before, but from all that can be
gathered, this is by far the most serious
one that has appeared.

WATER.

The Star showed yesterday that argu-
ments in favor of a filtration plant
would be of the strongest character
and DR.. Wood certainly marshalled a
goodly array in his address before the
Council of State yesterday afternoon.
The Doctor, however, acknowledged
that as far as recent statistics went,
the typhoid cases could not be traced
to Nuuanu water, but he believed that
though the water was very little faint
ed now, it soon would be.
Upon this point DR.. Wood brought
forward good argument 1t showed
that as time went on the upper part of
the valley, above the reservoirs, would
be built over, and that the reservoirs
would then soon become contaminated
If this We're not guarded against by
filtration we might look forward to an
epidemic in the near future. OF course,
it could also be guarded against by not
allowing people to build above the res
ervoirs, but that is probably impracti-
cable.
The Star quite agrees with the Doc
tor that a filtration plant is proper and
necessary, but it's contention is that if
it is a case of filtration plant and no
additional reservoir accommodation, the
filtration plant will be of little use, be-
cause there will be no water to filter
What the city needs is water, and what
it most needs is good water. Therefore,
it needs both the additional reservoir
and the filter, but if it cannot have
both, the main necessity is the reser-
voir AS one understands the question
1t is matter of funds, we must cut
our coat according to the cloth. 1t is
no use voting for thing and then find
ing there is no money to pay for 1t.
The Star in no way denies the necessity
and the efficacy of filter, but it sees
reasons why it may not be desirable
just now.

that is by the vote Of the Legislature,
which will be the vote of the people.
The Government can go as far as It
legally can; If It goes beyond that It is
Fable to censure and its members to
impeachment for illegal acts, but a
Legislature Of the people can step in
and vote a sum of money to nquidate
the moral claims of the Government.
The question win be debated today,
and there does not appear to be any
likelihood of a solution being easily
reached. The amendment to Mr.. Achis
resolution, proposed by Mr.. Bolte, will
in all probability be passed, but what
then? Should the Executive Council
refuse to act as the amendment pro-
poses, things will be at deadlock The
Executive Council cannot be voted out
of office by the Council of State OF
course the Council of State might re-
fuse to vote any appropriations, but
that would be detrimental to the inter
ests of the territory. Our light upon
the vexed question will have to come
from Washington,

The burglar is likely to prove an Ha-
waiian after ala product of our own
soil. There are a few incorrigible crooks
among the Hawaiian race, just as there
are many among other races of the
earth. Professor Lombroso would de-
light in getting hold of cases of such
men as Kaluna and "Barefooted Bill"
They would bear out his chronological
theory very well. But theories very sell
dom hold water, and Professor Lon-
brOso, after obtaining great vogue, is
now being severely attacked.

COURT OF CLAIMS.

The Court of Claims certainly has
raised more Violent feeling than any
thing that has been debated for a long
time, and all classes of the community
are embroiled over the matter. The
Japanese have taken a hand, so have
the Chinese; both of whom want rep
resentative upon the Board; the mer-
chants want to be represented and, in
fact consider that the Board should be
composed wholly, or at least in majority
of merchants, The Executive has taken
the view that the Court of Claims can
only decide as to the liability of the
Government for claims, and therefore
ii wants lawyers to form the court
The legal liability of the Government
is set down in the statute book. It
there states that the Supreme court
shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear
and determine all claims against the
Government founded upon any statute
of the Republic; or upon any regula-
ton of the Executive Department. or
upon any contract expressed or implied
with the Government, and so forth.
AS far as the legal aspect of the case
is concerned, the law seems to be clear,
But as put forward by number of
members Of the Council of State, the
Government has moral obligations. The
Government cannot of its own volition
go outside of it's legal obligations; how
then are its moral obligations to be
carried out? There is only one method
by which they can be carried out, and

The rain of yesterday and today has
been perfect boon to Honolulu and the
vicinity. 1t is years since such a dry

the upper part of the valley has been
very satisfactory and the natural re-

up, which will surely tell upon the level
of the artesian wells.

IMPROVEMENTS DELAYED.
Bids For Missouri Pacific Depot at
Wichita Exceed Appropriation.

Wichita, May 22-The construction of
the Missouri Pacific's new depot will be
delayed for some time until new bids
for the work can be submitted by the
contractors. which will take at least a
week or two.
The bids for the new building were
opened last week, but the company dis
covered that they were all too high.
Every bid exceeded the appropriation
the company had made, and all we're re-
1ected and new ones called for.
The Missouri Pacific set aside $50, 900
for the purchase of the ground and the
construction of the building and, when
b cost of the land was deducted from
this sum-, the bids of the contractors
exceeded the amount remaining.
The new bids will be closed as quickly
as possible and the contract let to the
lowest bidder. Work will be COM
menced as soon as the material can be
laid down, as the road is anxious to
have the depot completed by October
1. so that it will open during the
street fair.
The Missouri Pacific also intends to
enlarge it's freight depot. The present
structure is entirely too small for the
business. and a substantial addition to
it will be built this summer. More
track room is also needed, and the COM
amy Saturday purchased a plot of
ground so by 300 feet in the req of
Lehman & Higginson's wholesale house.
The land adjoins the Missouri Pacific
ground and will be used for additional
tracks.

FUSION IN THIRD.
Judge A. M. jackson Nominated
For Congress in Joint
Convention.

The Populists and Democrats of the
Third congressional district held a joint
convention at Parsons Monday. On the
sixty-first ballot Judge A. M. Jackson
of Winfield was nominated for congress.
The convention adjourned this morning
at 2 o'clock.
The managers of the campaign
against the Republicans in the Third
district were shrewd enough to prevent
a recurrence of the conditions existing
in the Sixth and Seventh Congressional
districts and an agreement was reached
by which the joint convention was held.
Each party pooled it's issue and agreed
that the candidate receiving two-thirds
of the votes of the joint convention
hould be named for congress.
The two parties made a harmonious
agreement and there was no trouble in
the convention.
The rival candidates for the uomina-
ton, Congressman Ridgley. Hugh Far
reilly, Samuel H. smith of Cherokee
county and Judge Jackson were placed
before the joint convention.

PHILIPPINE HOLY WEEK.
Sergeant Wagner, of Topeka, Tells
How It Is Celebrated.

I. I. Wagner. of 435 Tyler street, has
received an interesting letter from his
son. Sergeant NJ. L. Wagner OF company
A. Thirty-second u. S. infantry who is
stationed at Moriveless Philippine Is
lands. He says:
This last week has been holy week
among the natives and you ought to see
their strange customs. Thursday night
they had as pretty a procession as 1
ever saw and the principal boat epre-
sented Christ carrying the cross to be
eruci6ed. They all carried candles and
kept chanting. Friday night there was
another procession and they had a float
representing Christ being carried to his
tomb.
"When the procession had passed US
all the 'hOmbres,' or men that had been
bad came along with nothing on bnt
trousers and a white cloth tied over
their heads. They had ropes tied around
their necks until they cut the skin n
they threw themselves in the dirt in the
middle of the road and the people beat
them and walked over them. On Friday
morning they whipped themselves and
cut themselves with razors and die eV-
erything they could to torture them
selves. The natives told me they were
doing penance.
Yesterday the whole town was very
quiet because Christ was supposed to
be dead, but today they are making a
great noise because this is supposed to
be the day he rose from the dead. The
natives have not eaten any meat all
week but they have lots of meat ready
to eat today.
The native band is playing March
ing Through Georgia and the boys are
yelling their heads Off"
