HARBoR DREDGING.

Dredging Honolulu harbor is a duty
meet whenever Congress, in framing
River and Harbor bill, shall supply the
means. If the interests of the City
and Territory were of a kind to lend
themselves to delay the Advertiser
would certainly oppose the output of a
single Territorial dollar upon Federal
public works in any form. But unfor-
tunately for us the leaders in Congress
have declared that there is to be no
River and Harbor bill this year and in
the meantime steamers will come to
the port, bidding for our business,
which will draw more water than the
i1arbor affords. Such vessels are ex-
pected early in 1904 IF it is given out
that modern liners cannot enter here,
damage will be done to the present
trade and the commercial reputation of
the port. We simply cannot afford to
have such a fact demonstrated. For
0A1 local DeDeUL we HluSt pIosiuc
against it by dredging the harbor at
our own expense, depending on the
sense of justice in Congress for future
reimbursement. Indeed we can better
afford to pay the bill ourselves with
out a chance of getting the money
back than to compel the steamers that
want to do business with us to anchor
outside, assuming that, under such cir
cumstances, they would come this way
at all. To hold it's ocean trade is the
paramount commercial duty Of Hawaii.
This is important enough to even justi-
fy the abolition of all port charges,
making Honolulu free entrepot of
commerce in all save the collection of
duties by the Federal authority.
The lowest bids for dredging are rea-
sonable and work ought to proceed out
of the first funds obtainable from the
million dollar loan.

NO PROBABLE INTERFERENCE.

Colombia's hope that Germany would
help her against the United States has
been dispelled by the Kaiser's recog-
milton of the Panama republic.
There never were good grounds for
Colombia's expectation, not even in the
known antipathy of Germany to the
Monroe doctrine. No one nation or no
existing alliance of nations in Europe
will war upon the United States save
as a last. desperate resort in self-de-
fence. The reason is that if one ma
ton should do so the United States
could, if it chose, enter into an often
sive and defensive alliance with the
European enemies of that nation; and
the same course would be followed If
an existing alliance should begin hos
tilities. For example, a German attack
on the United States would mean an
American compact with Russia and
France and If possible with England
and an attempt to break up the Drei-
bund, thus isolating the German pow
er. Even the Kaiser. indomitab1e as
his nature is, would hesitate at such a
risk.
! 1t is in recognition of the United
States as the factor which holds the
balance of power In the worlds affairs
"a situation clearly foreseen by Bis
marck-that SO many European pub
| licists are working out scheme of
tariff union against the United States.
They argue IL union on that basis can
be had. union on coercive basis may
not be hard to reach. But here again
| the United States has, in its power to
make special treaties of reciprocity,
weapon to sever any artificial ties Of
| business binding a hostile combination.
So Colombia and the rest of the
Latin-American countries must work
out their destiny in the North Ameri-
can sphere of influence. There is no
other sphere they can get into for safe
ty from the consequences of their own
folly.

was sent here by Mrs Robert A. Miller,
