PEARL HARBoR IMPROVEMENT.

The United States War Department
Will open Pearl ilarbor under the law
which gives II control OF tho outlay If
River and Harbor appropriations. once
the bar has been removed and a safe
anchorage for vessels made, 1t will BE-
in order for the Navy Department TO
get the assent of Congress for the pur
chase or condemnation of a site for
naval station. Whether this will be
done or not remains to be seen, but
the position OF the port, as the strategic
key to the North Pacific, would seem
to make 1t Imperative that there should
be some place in this group for the
docking and repair OF war vessels and
for their assembly into fleets.
Pearl Harbor is we'll located for such
a purpose. a dockyard could be built
near one of its deep channels so far
from the sea as to be beyond the accur-
ate range OF hostile fleet. Indeed,
with forts at the entrance, an enemy's
ships might be kept so far off that they
could not drop shells half way up the
harbor without elevating their guns 10
n degree that would, through the re-
coil after firing, damage the structure
of the vessel. The failure or Admlral
SIMPSONS bombardments during the
Spanish war shows how easy 1t is for
well-manned forts to protect property
located behind them even within two or
three miles, For TIE reasons cited the
Navy Department has not seen fit to
urge the building of a dock on Honolu-
lu harbor close to the complete and
economical repair facilities of the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works. In time of peace
It would be most desirable to have
drydock at this port: but in time OF
war the location would be source of
anxiety to the Government, and a
means of the possible destruction OF the
dock, the Iron Works and the adjacent
city. At least that, as we are told, Is
the argument of the naval men; so II
we are to have a naval station at all,
Pearl Harbor must afford the site.
In any effort which the Department
may make to reach that end, Senators
Morgan and Cullom, Representatives
Hit and Berry and others of infiu-
ence in Congress may be depended upon
to give their aid. Indeed, we antici-
pate that naval appropriation for
Pearl Harbor would be regarded, In
both House and Senate, as matter or
course.

THE PARENT TRUST.

1t is said that local firms which sell
plumbing goods and are doing business
in conformity with the law are unable
to get supplies in San Francisco wing
to the fact that the wholesale dealers
there belong to the trust and VIII not
sell to retailers outside of 1t.
If this is true the United States lis
trict Attorney at San Francisco has
the same duty to perform which he car
ried out so we'll in the case of the coal
combine and which was followed up
to such advantage here by United
States District Attorney Baird in the
local fight against the plumbing trust.
We are convinced that any Honolulu
business house which Is being bulldoZec
by the San Francisco combine could
well afford to begin a Federal action
there to recover three-fold DAMAGES;
and that 1t would not appeal to the
District Attorney in vain for the open
ing up of criminal proceedings.
The Advertiser desires to do all it
can to protect local plumbers from the
San Francisco bulldozers and IL given
evidence of the existence and activity
of a plumbing trust there. At stands
ready to put the facts where they will
do Honolulu dealers the greatest
amount of good. z

TROUBLES OF
THE REPUBLICAN
The Paper May be Unloaded
on a Local Syn
dictate.

Something like a cyclone has been
passing through the office of the Re-
publican, morning paper of this city.
and various wreckage is left in its
path.
The paper has had a precarious life
for seven months, during which time
large amount of money has been
sunk in trying to make 1t pay. What
ever prospects it may have had were
ruined at the start by salacious articles
about Iwilei, and lately, blast or
profanity and obscenity in its columns
gave it's stock another fall, drew the
directors together in an Indignation
meeting, and led Judge Humphreys.
the majority owner, to offer the edi-
torship to Dan Logan. When seen
yesterday Mr.. Logan said:
II do not know how the facts about
the offer to me leaked out, but now
that you have them 1 may say that I
am considering proposal to take the
editorship, but am not sure but the
projected sale of the Republican may
get in the way of my acceptance
1t has been learned elsewhere that
syndicate has been formed to buy
the paper, and that Judge Humphreys
hopes to conclude a deal on Saturday.
One of his brothersin-law says that
he Is Disguised with his venture in
journalism and will, If he unloads the
property, contine himself in future to
his law practice.
An Advertiser reporter tried to find
out the names of the men who had
offered to buy the Republican, but was
unable to do so. They may be Demo-
Gratis, or they may be the minority
stockholders. Whoever they are they
are keeping dark
Since it's inception, Judge Hum
phreys' paper has had four business
managers and several city editors. Ev-
cry effort was made to get cIrcuIa-
ton, but some accident of policy inter-
vened. Advertising was taken at any
price, and many trade announcements
were and perhaps still are, carried
gratis. At the end of six months the
paper said it had reached a paying
basis, but Mr.. Ziegenfuss, just before
his departure, said it was losing from
$500 to $1,000 per month. Other former
employees said the same thing Lately

ed all the men it could possibly do

TO COMMAND ILLINOIS.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Captain Geo.
4. Converse has been selected to COM
mand the new battleship Illinois, which
is now undergoing its finishing touches
at Newport News. Captain Converse,
whose assignment to the Illinois was
made public today by Secretary Long.
was recently promoted to his present
RANK. He was born in Vermont and ap-
pointed to the Naval Academy in 1861.
He has served on the European squad
ron in torpedo service as instructor, and
was commander of the cruiser Montgom-
cry at the outbreak of the war with
Spain. During that trouble he retained
his command of the Montgomery with
distinction. The Illinois was launched
on October 4. 1898. Her trials for speed
will be made some time in February,
when 1t Is expected President Mckinley
will see the new ship do her first work.
The Illinois Is 1858 feet long and her dis
placement is 12,325 tons. She will carry
four 13-inch guns in her main battery.

THE POLICE FORCE.

! one Of the journals OF the push is
convinced that the police force needs
reorranizing. first on the score OF econ
my I'm numbers and second SO that the
smaller organization may be better
paid. The real motive is, of course, one
of political patronage and the ultimate
control OF the Grand Jury drawings;
but leaving that aside we propose to
address ourselves to the issue of wheth-
err a city OF this size and character
should try to get along with fewer po"
lice officers than IL now has.
Honolulu contains about 10000 inhabi-
tants. but that is not n true basis of
comparison with Eastern places of sim
liar or even greater size. Being place
of spacious dooryards and magnificent
distances 1t takes up about as much
room as the mainland interior city Of
100. 900. This must be considered when
II comes to apportioning the police to
beats. Moreover it Is seaport where
in the busy season, five hundred sail
ors are sometimes ashore at night.
These men need close watching. Final
ly the resident population Is made up
OF widely separated races-Americans,
Europeans, natives, Chinese, japanese,
Azores Portuguese negroes and South
Sea islanders, and there is floating
Oriental population coming and going
from the plantations. All these people
call upon the police, some for protec-
ton, others for surveillance.
Again, the activities of the police are
more extensive here than is usual in
mainland cities. We have an opium
problem which does not cut much of
a figure with the law in other parts of
the United States; and the execution
of the laws here against gambling re-
uuires, amidst the Oriental population,
the special detail of a large number OF
policemen. Elsewhere gambling is let
alone except in times of public excite
ment or when 1t is used as source
of blackmail. Here 1t is the goal of an
active and continuous crusade.
For all these purposes about 100 po-
licemen are hired: that is to say, nifty
on a shift At no time, 1t seems to us,
should less than fifty policemen be
available. True, one white man may
be worth two of any other kind for
police duty-speaking generally and not
of the exceptions that prove the rule
but here in Honolulu it costs as much
for one white man to live as two or
any other color and he must be paid
accordingly. We do. not doubt that
fifty white policemen would cost even
more than 100 native Hawaiian police
men, so the plea of economy behind the
reorganization of the force really
amounts to nothing.
OF course, from the point of view of
those who have been unable to control
High Sheriff Brown and use the police
and the Grand Jury for political ends,
reorganization at any cost is desirable
and the sooner the better. But the
masses OF the people and all of the tax
payers who are not afflicted by the
thirst of office, are content to let the
police force stay as it is. We have an
orderly and peaceful city and no more
policemen than we need to keep it so;
and as for the expense, it comes out OF
revenues provided by one of the lowest
tax rates in the Union and those who
pay the bills make no complaint.

Some weeks ago this journal an
nounced that Pearl Harbor would be

a local Federal official to the effect
that Pearl Harbor, owing to the high
price of land along its shores. had no
attractions for the Federal Govern
ment. AS this issue of the Advertiser

asking for bids for the opening of Pearl
Harbor, the questions raised may now
be regarded as settled.
