AS TO PURE WATER.

Here is the preamble to a petition
signed by many of the leading physi-
clans of Honolulu and sent to the Leg
isIature:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the Territory of Ha-
wall.
Your petitioners, citizens of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii and residents of Ho-
nolulu, respectfully show:
That it is a notorious circumstance,
freely commented upon throughout
this district, that a large portion of the
drinking water furnished TO the resi-
dents thereof is gathered in ponds un-
derlaid with mud and overgrown with
vegetable matter and containing the
accommodations of the washings of the
slopes of the Nuuanu valley adjoining
the ponds, or so called reservoirs, and
such water is furnished to the citizens
of Honolulu, filed with green scum
and other vegetable and extraneous
matter. 1t is believed by your petition
ers that a large portion of the preva-
lent illness and debility is caused to
the residents of this district by drink
ing such impure and contaminated wa
ter.
no reason to believe otherwise-the
sooner the Legislature applies itself to
the water question the better. 1t is not
necessary. however, to commit the Ter
ritory to any definite purchase in adj
vance. Locality. water supply, extent
and nature of the watershed, ETC., are
matters to be referred to engineers;
after which the question of cost should
be taken up. 1t might be that the gov
eminent land near the Pail would be
most suitable or that an adequate sup
ply could be had at no great expense
from upper Manoa. Artesian pumping
might be approved after investigation
by experts. The point now is that the
Legislature should not buy "a pig in a
poke;" should not purchase in haste
and repent at leisure.
Meanwhile if the city water is as bad
as the doctors say. danger of typhoid
fever epidemic. such as is now ravag-
ing Ithaca, N. Y, may be regarded as
imminent. In that case the thing to
do is for every householder to boil and
filter his drinking water; and for the
TO see that this is done for
the schools and that the use of boiled
and filtered water is enforced upon the
of soda, etc. of which
the community absorbs some $4,000 bot
ties per day. No chances should be
taken with a supply which lis gather
ed in ponds underlaid with mud and
overgrown with vegetable matter and
containing the accommodations of the
washings of the slopes of the Nuuanu
valley filed with green scum
and other vegetable and extraneous
natter

FOR THE ST. LOUIS FAIR.

With their attention recalled to the
matter of the St. Louis Fair by the
Kupihea resolution, which went
through the House yesterday. some of
the members of the Legislature are
coming to the opinion that the pro-
vision made by the House for this great
exposition is too small. The Senate

all the other expenses of the exhibit
which all agree should be made by the
Territory.
The Kupihea resolution is. in itself.

upon the representation of the Terri
tory, beyond the sending of a double
quartet of singers. to be selected by
Prince Kuhio. and their salaries and
expenses to be fixed by the Governor.
Beyond that it is vague, as was said
OF one Of the resolutions from the same
source by the Attorney General.
The provision for three commission
ers, one to be appointed each by the
Governor. the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House reads all
right as to the naming of the men, but
there it stops. There is not a word as
to their duties. excepting that they are
to represent the Territory. There is
nothing as to how they are to conduct
their work, no suggestion as to their
pay or expenses nor the organization
of the commission. and in consequence,
If the appropriation does pass. there

vided.

AIALUHIA.

One OF the best uses to which the Ter
ritory could put money would be in the
establishment of an agricultural school
where experts in the production of
tropical crops would teach anybody
who wished to learn. all that is known
about raising such products as are
enumerated above and many more. Ex-
perts in fruit. vanilla. tobacco, sisal,
pineapples. banana and cocoa culture.
experts in dairying and chicken raising
and in the analysis of soils. could find
plenty to do in such college. one Of
the adjuncts OF which would be an ex-
perimental farm.
Our correspondent has the right idea
about small farming He does not con-
found It as so many do with market
gardening; nor does he suggest the
raising of crops here for export that
would have TO compete with California
and the Pacific Northwest. 1t would
be blunder even If Irish potatoes did
well here to use land for their produc-
ton which would yield pineapples,
vanilla beans or alligator pears instead.
HAWAII should raise the crops it can
export, cultivating vegetables mainly
for domestic use.
Some OF the expert instructors needed
are now available at the United States
Experiment Station. But they are not
men who go out to manage farms for
people; their usefulness will take the
form Of giving pointers and, if an Agri-
cultural College is started. they may
be depended on to assist it in every pos
sIble way.

Difference Between Republicans and
Democrats In Fighting Trusts.

Democrats In Fighting Trusts.
There is q great difference between
Republican and Democratic trust bust.
Ing. President Roosevelt and his sattor-
ney general have been for over year
trying to bring the beef trust to time,
but 80 far all that has been accomplish
cd Is the granting OF q temporary in-
Junction to restrain the members ofvthe
combine from organizing 10 control
prices. II is needless to say this pro
ceeding has had no effect In curbine
the rapacity OF the beef trust and the
members continue TO bid their own
price for stock. The Democratic trust
busters have been more expeditions,
Tor the attorney general OF the, s.ata OF
Missouri has forced the fght against
the beef combine and obtained Judg-
ment against IL In tho highest court OF
the state.
The dispatch which contains the infor-
nation says: "The principal members
OF the beef combine, the Armour, the
Cudahy, the Swift, tho Hammond and
tho Schwarzschild & Sulzberger pack
Ing companies, were fined $1,000 each
In tho Missouri supreme court on
March 20 and ordered TO pay the costs
OF the cases, which amountedto 5000.
Unless the fines and costs are paid
within thirty days the defendants will
be ousted from the state"
The members of tho combine can
now take the choice OF paying $4,000
or ceasing TO do business I'm Missouri.
IL they continue their operations In
that state, they Will lay themselves liza
BILE TO be fined for each offense OF the
same nature. If the administration
was as anxious to bust the meat COM
bine as they pretend TO be, Attorney
General Knox could have had the
members OF the combine behind the
bars by this time by prosecuting them
Under the criminal section OF the anti
trust law. Tho Republican congress
has now, however, repealed this crim-
inal section. and the chance OF proceed
Ing against the beef combine or any
other trust under this section has gone
by.
With Democratic congress and q
Democratic president the energy, OF tho
Missouri Democrats would be duplI-
Gated In federal affairs, and, in addi-
ton to prosecuting those trusts that
are robbing the people, further relief
would be had by repeating those sched-
ules OF the tariff law that allow so
many combines to sell their products
cheaper to foreigners than to our own
people.

With Hanna out of the way, the
nomination of Roosevelt by the re.
publicans is regarded as certain and
the fight Of the democrats is all cut
out They must nominate man
who can beat the President. That
such man must be conservative is
admitted by all. He must command
the respect OF that large element in
the east which regards Roosevelt as
erratic and unsafe. He must com
msnd the support of the indepen-
dent voters that large and constantly
increasing number which refuses to
accept bravado for bravery, shout
ing about Americanism for Loyalty,
militarism for patriotism. The most
astute democratic politicians do not
regard II as at all essential that their
nominee be named at this early
date. He would only become the
butt OF republican ridicule and in
vective. SO the policy will be to
keep the republicans guessing for a
while longer and then nominate a
strong man, conduct a whirlwind
campaign and land the proper man
