THAT PLUMBING CONTRACT
CLAIM SUFFICIENT
FORCE HERE.
Good News for Minister Young, who
Merely Wants Work Finished on Time
The Real Situation

There was a meeting of Journeymen
Plumbers last evening to discuss the
present situation and talk over the COM
ing big contract-that of the plumb
ing for the sewerage system. mc!.
dentally they brought up the statement
that there were not enough plumbers
in Honolulu to finish the work in a
year, and that some would have to be
imported from San Francisco 1t was
agreed that there were enough plumb
ers, and that twenty-five per cent Of
them were idle.
1t will be quite pleasing news to Min
lister Young and the Government-this
story of enough plumbers for the pub
lie has been led by the plumbers, them
selves, to believe that very few of them
knew how to make a crook in seven
feet of pipe for the undersde OF
Washbowl, let alone connecting houses
with pipes at the sidewalks
The point with the Government is
that the work must be done quickly.
Already there is the kick that the pipe
will be laid long before the house
plumbing is done. Minister Young is
determined that this shall not be the
case. There are very few plumbing
contractors here. Emmeluth, the Motifs,
and Gehring & Butzke, about winds the
thing up. 1t is hardly anticipated that
the contract will go to a journeyman
plumber.
81 sincerely hope the contractor win
be able to do the work with local
plumbers" says Minister Young, "but
1t must be done on time, and that is all
there is about it. We have already
spent $4,000 of the peoples money to
save time in pipe laying, and it would
be pretty comeoff if this large amount
is to be thrown away in the failure
OF plumbers to complete their contract.
When the last pipe is laid by Vincent &
Belser We purpose that the last sink
and wash bowl in town shall have been
properly connected with the system. All
have to say is that if the contractor
can complete the work in the specified
time with the help he can get in Homo
lulu, well and good but if he can't do
it, men must be brought from the
Coast"
A leading plumbing contractor said
some time ago that the entire Honolulu
force of plumbers could not complete
the work in a year. He has perhaps
changed his opinion but does not say
so.

RECIPROCITY.

The various reciprocity treaties nego-
tiated by John A. Kasson are in a par
lous state, superinduced by the protests
and warnings of the protected interests
affected by them. The trade treaty with
France seems already moribund he
cause of the hostility of some American
jewelry makers. Foreign nations are
thus being given an insight into the
real nature of American reciprocity.
Our manufacturers are hot for freedom
of trade in China, but a little trade re-
in America makes them quail.
The United States is certainly a model
power to insist on open doors" in
other countries.-Springfield Republi-
can.

Moody's. Containing Marginal
Notes, Sought After in the
Boston Exhibition.

IN Boston great interest Is being mani
tested in the free exhibition OF a coll
lection Of Bibles and sacred literature
which Is under way at the Bible-ropm OF
the Congregational house on Beacon
street. The greater part OF the collection
being shown consists of what are known
as workers Bibles. and are from the
library OF S. Brainard Pratt. OF Boston. II
Is probably the finest collection OF Bibles
to be found in the United States. and the
existence of a better one In the world Is
not known OF
One of the books which is attracting
rather more attention than any of the
others is the illuminated Bible long used
by the late Dwight /. Moody and con-
tanning many notes in his own handwrit-
ing Mr. Moody once said In Boston; .'Bi-
Bile marking. with the insertion of side
notes, marginal references etc converts
the margins OF ones Bible into a note
book at hand at any moment" and he
evinced his faith in the statement by
making copfous notes I'm his own Bible
Another Bible which is OF general inter-
est is the one used for more than thirty
years for all purposes by the Rev Henry
Ward Beecher. In the thirty years in
which he had this Bible in service he
wore. out the binding. and then he had
the book cut down and rebound For
he used the Bible at funerals
Almost equaling the Beecher Bible in
interest Is the John Knox Bible. with oak
covers made from wood from the John
Knox house, Netherbon. Edinburg Scot
land. Knox was a Romish priest In 1880
Protestant reformer In i54s and for two
years a galley slave. II was said that
Mary Queen OF Scots was more afraid OF
him than she would have been of a regi-
ment of soldiers
Another remarkable Bible is one used
on the march and in three prisons during
the civil war by the Rev. DR., Henry Clay
Trumbuli, a chaplain In the federal army
He preached from this Bible while con-
fined In Libby prison. and used the mar
ginal leaves sort OF diary
There is also In the collection an ancient
Bible owned by Philip Melancthon. pro-
fessor OF Greek in the University of WITT
tenberg in the sixteenth century. between
whom and Luther there was the most
touching friendship. This Bible IL accom-
panied by Luther's translation Of the

Among the other things in the collec-
