A NEW SCHEME.

The proposal of Mr.. Vestal to tun-
mel into the Kaala mountain in order
to obtain water power for an electric
plant which would supply Honolulu
with motive power or any other use
of electricity is certainly a novel one
to the Territory. That electric power
can be carried for long distances is well
known and the distance between Ka-
ala and Honolulu is only about thirty
or thirty-flve miles. But the tunnel
ing into the mountain is the novelty,
though this has been done already in
several places on the Islands with sue
cess. Not much, however, has trans
pired about it.
The Waianae Company has driven
tunnel into a spur of I<aala and OBJ
tains about 100000 gallons of water
In twenty-four hours, and there has
been some successful tunneling in
North Kohala. There may be other
places, but they do not occur to mind
at this moment. However the use of
the water tunnel has hitherto been for
the purpose of irrigation solely. Mr..
Vestals proposal is to generate cleo
tricity and then let the water to any
plantation that can utilize it.
The top of Kaala, as any one may
see by looking towards the northwest
end of the Island, is a fiat topped
mountain and upon it there is heavy
annual rainfall. Some of this water
runs off during storms, and feeds the
Waialua rivers and the torrents that
occasionally, though rarely sweep into
Waianae. The major portion, however,
remains in the swamp on the plateau,
and it is this swamp which Mr.. Vestal
wishes to tap, and from which he ex-
poets to gather a large volume of wa
ter.
Granted that this scheme is success
full what a chance there will be for
electric work on the other Islands. In
the northern part of Kauai there is an
inexhaustible supply of water which
runs to waste, year in and year out.
There are three grand streams beyond
Hanalei which ought to be able to fur
nish the electric power for the whole
Island, from Hanalei to Kekaha and
Mana. This innovation will come some
mense water supply in the Koolau dis
trict. mere 1.-THE of this is carried to
the western slopes of Haleakala by the
Spreckelsville and Haiku bitches. There
is left however an immense mass of
water which roars in cataracts and
down rocky channels to the ocean. All
this could be utilized for electric power.
The use of electricity is in it's infancy
on these Islands. We rather pride our
selves on what we have done, but there
is very great deal more which we will
do in the future Whether the scheme
of Mr. Vestal is carried out or not,
whether such right as he asks for
can be granted in his particular case
is mere side issue. The main fact is
that electricity can be generated at one
part of an island and carried all over,
to the advantage of our industries and
the cheapening of our manufacturing
industry.

The Japanese procurers ought to be
got after with a sharp stick. They are
a class of rascals who fatten upon the
earnings of fallen women, and who en-
tice away the wives of respectable and
hard working Japanese. The whole
difficulty in dealing with these men is
to obtain the requisite evidence. A
strong attempt was recently made by
a religious section of the community,
and police assistance was called in,
but the attempt ended in failure,
though it stirred up matters among
the Japs somewhat. The police find
like trouble in their attempts to drive
these rascals out. Under existing law,
they could not be driven out, as there
is no treaty between the United States
and Japan which covers the deporta-
ton of people of immoral character.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 1st
MR.. EDIToR:-That queer things occur
| in politics everybody knows, but nobody
| ever expected to see republican members
of Congress trying to get democratic
members to assist them in resisting what
| they call an undetermined attack on the
protective tariff system by the republican
administration. Yet that is precisely what
is being done. Republicans representing
sections which produce articles affected
by the several reciprocity treaties, nego-
tiated under the Dingley tariff law, which
require the approval of the House as well
| as the ratification of the Senate, are trying
to get democrats to help them defeat the
| treaties
Mr.. Mckinley pulled off his New Year
reception without scrap between those
who have been fussing for weeks over
whether Gen. Miles or Admiral Dewey
| should be given precedence. Gen Miles
was given precedence under the rule which
has always been followed
Miles and Adjutant General Corbin. 1t
was started by the recommendation of
Gen. Miles that this years West Point
| class be gradual ed in February instead of
June, in order that the graduates instead
Of civil appointees might fill the numerous
vacancies in second lieutenancies in the
regular army. For some reason Gen Cor
| bin bitterly antagonzes this recommended
| tion-of course, he, as Adjutant General
| of tue Army, has no personal interest in
the appointment of civilians to be second
lieutcnants in the regular army Sccre-
tary Root is said to lean towards Corbin a
| little, although he has not actually decided
the question yet.
While no one in Washington seriously
| believes that the republican caucus Will
dave to indo1se the bill of Representative
Crumpacker, of Indiana, which proposes
to reduce the Congressional representation
| and the electoral votes of number of
Southern States, Representative Wilson,
| of South Carolina, who is an able cUnsti-
| tutional LAWYER has gathered a number of
| legal decisions showing that Congress has
| no constitutional authority to do what
Mr.. Crumpackers bill proposes, even if it
| had the inclination, which he doubts Mr.
| Wilson quotes several decisions of the
United States Supreme Court, one of
which contains the following plain Ian
guage: The light to vote is a privilege
regulated by municipal law, and inherng
exclusively in the State He also points
out that the right to vote has been Genipd
by a large number of States For instance,
an educational qualification is required by
Maine, Massachusetts. Connecticut, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Colorado
and Wyoming, While tie payment of &c.
tain taxes is required before citizens can
vote by Rhode Island Pennsylvania, Del
aware, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida.
Mississippi, Tennessee and Nevada NJ
Wilson says the educational qualification
imposed by Massachusetts GcJars a large
number of citizens than are elected by
the constitution or laws of any southern
State, and that he feels sure the best Senti-

. GOVERNORS MESSAGE,

Among the recommendations which
Governor Lowndes makes arc: the
passage of a corrupt practices act and
OF primary election law, the adoption
of some metl Cd to encourage oyster
planting, and the appointment of 4
State Auditor TO examine the accounts
OF public officers who receive and dis
burse State funds and of institutions
that receive State aid
He suggests in the interests OF econ
omy that the officer of State Fire Mar
shall should be abolished and his duties
performed by one of the deputies of
the State Insurance Commissioner.
The Governor believes that le.isIa-
ton should be adopted to insure the
minority party representation on all
the school boards in the State, and this
opinion seems to prevail also among
many of the prominent Democrats in
the General Assembly.
1t is gratifying to know that the
financial condition of the State is most
encouraging, and the character and
standing Of the gentlemen, who will tie
responsible during the next four years
for the management of the States fl
nances, are a guarantee that the in
provements will he continued.
With these assurances on the part of
the presiding officers and with a genu-
inc sentiment of reform pervading both
bodies, the people have right to ex-
poet some wholesome legislation from
the present General Assembly.

DIGNITY AS \ SHIELD FOR
HANNA.

The Baltimore Sun in commenting
upon the above, says: "Senator Hanna
is offended because, as he explains, the
newspapers give him so much atten-
tor. 1T is Hanna this and Hanna
that" he declares, "until you cannot
pick up a newspaper without reading
my name. They forget that | am a
member os the United States Senate
a position that should carry dignity
with it, Mr.. Hanna also foroets a
thing or two-among them the fact
that unless man was entitled to con-
sideration before he became a Senator
his mere election to that body cannot
invest him with the divinity that doth
hedge about a king or a statesman.
Men have been sent to the Senate
through sharp practices, by corrupt
methods and 10y devices which are not
consistent with the attributes of dir
nifty. The Senate. even now, is con-
slderng protests against the admission
to that body OF men who are charged
with bribery. In the case of one OF
them, ut least, allegations have been
made OF the grossest malfeasance in
Office. Men buy seats in the Senate
openly-or attempt to buy them-as
the records of State Legislatures in
the past year prove beyond dispute.
With such conditions prevailing, why
should Senators be regarded with awe
or reverence simply because they are
admitted to the upper house OF Con-
gress: \ man vino sets up the DIG
nifty Of his Office as the reason why he
should enjoy immunity from CRITICS m
must be able TO prove that lie has that
dignity Of character which entities him
to respect, regardless of his official DO
sition. # he possesses this dignity.
he will not suffer Ii he is devoid of
it, official station. however exalted

THE MEETING OF THE
LEGISLATURES.

1t will be pleasing to the fricEds of
good government to know tLat the
presiding officers OF the two houses Of
General Assembly realize, as indicated
by their remarks on Wednesday. that
the pledges made by the party before
the election should be redeemed
President Hubner of the Senate
said: after lapse of four years the
people have again placed upon the
Democratic party the responsibility Of
government 1t is our solemn duty
to merit their confidence and approval
and endeavor to deserve their future
support 10y a sound, economical admin
lstration and to fulfill all the promises
to which the party stands pledged.
Mr.. Wilkinson, the speaker of the
House, said: ITO the majority of the
members of this body | want to ;.
that the recent political contest in this
State has resulted in sending to this
body a large majority of members of
our political faith, and upon us will
rest the responsibility of all legisla-
ton. We will be entitled to the credit
for the passage of good laws and to the
blame for bad ones. We are Oh trial
before the people Of this State, and it
behoovos us [. scan closely every
measure presented for our considcra-
ton, and to be assured that it is for
the best interests of our people be-
fore giving it support.

BRITONS ASTOUNDED At

\ dispatch from London SAYS: 1t is
strange to note that as the new year
dawns for Great Britain the greatest army

At home, in spite of the large volume of

Europe is yelpng at her heels, and the
necessity for Americas friendship is recog-

any attempt to belttle the desirability of

pense of all things transatlantic, Amer.

The economic shoe already begins to
pinch the military foot, not very seriously,
but enough to suggest grave cogitations as
to what would happen if Britain were at
war with great power. The fact that the
Government has chartered so many trans
ports has resulted in rise in the price of
bread, while coal is rising by leaps and
pounds to famine prices.
With such serious outlook for the com
ing year, it is hardly surprising that arti

same to banks in all parts of the c"uLtry,
as may be ordered by the Secretary of the
Treasury, is likely to be put to the test
very soon, as there are several things
about this transaction which many Sena
tors and Representatives would like very
much to know. For instance even among
those who cnnccde the legal right of the

use of Government money to some banks
and not to others. which many DO hot
there is curiosity to know why bank

of the trusts-the Standard Oil Company
was made the distributor of these funds
and how long that bank is allowed to re
tain the money before distributing it to
other favored banks, and whether those
banks are given the free use of the money
for any specified time. 1t was this same
New York bank that bought the old Gus
tom House property in New York, and
while questions are in order, Secretary
Gage will be asked to explain the legal
jugglery in delaying the transfer of title
from the government to the purchaser, by
which the bank has escaped the payment
of city taxes amounting to more than
$4,000. Boss Hanna was right when
he said that the talk about Secretary Gage
resigning was bosh. The interests which
put Mr.. Gage in the Cabinet have mon,
work for him to do for their profit, and
nobody knows it any better than Boss
Hanna. Mr.. Gage could not resign, even
if he really wished to, without queering
himself with those interests.
