The figures speak for themselves.
There must be something radically
wrong when the state of California
casts nearly twice the number of
votes for her eight congressional
candidates as the six southern states
named do for 80 representatives.
The Pacific coast states have II con-
gressmen, and cast four times as
many votes as six southern states
with 39 congressman. In Mississippi
it requires an average of 2159 to
elect member of congress. In
California the average vote is &c. 378.
Utah and Oregon with three repre-
sentatives outvote the whole six
states with 39 congressman. ANA
dor county alone casts more votes
for congress than were cast for John
Sharp Williams, a successful candi-
date for congress in Mississippi, and
who is the leader of the democrats
in the house, and was chairman of
the democratic convention in st.
Louis. Thirteen southern states.
with 1O2 congressman, are outvoted
by New York alone, with 60, 200
votes to spare, with 81 represent
atives. 1t is this inequality of rep
resentation in the national legis-
lature in proportion to votes that
the republican plank is designed to
reach, while democracy raises the
cry of racial and sectional prejudice.
We cast three times the vote for
assemblyman in the assembly dis
trict of which Amador county forms
a part, than the average vote for
congressman in Mississippi. And
from democratic standpoint there
is nothing out of joint in this
incongruity.

PIPE-LAYING,
NOT KIT|NG
Is Provided for In Loan
Bill and Dispatch
Necessary.

Governor Carter has already shown.
IN an Advertiser interview, the ground
less nature OF the accusation prefer
red by Democratic speakers against the
administration, to the effect that the
activity in water pipe-laying had been
timely designed for election campaign
effect.
Clarence NJ. White. Chief Clerk of
the Department of Public Works. yes
terday exhibited some data on the same
subject, showing that the election was
never dreamed of, from first to last. in
forwarding that public improvement.
The appropriations for improving the
Honolulu Water Works are contained
in the Loan ACT passed at the extra
session of 1903. They have therefore
as much TO do with the election as the
new schoolhouses and new roads pro-
vided for in the same enactment, but
not any more.
Under these appropriations the COM
tract for supplying the new water pipe
was awarded, in open competition, to
the Honolulu Iron Works Co. on Feb
account was made on April 80, upon the
bill of Iading. May 20 was the date
of the second. and Sept. 10 chat of the
third payment.
Meantime the pipe had been shipped
from New York, the last and chief ship
nent arriving in Honolulu in the ship
Erskine NJ. Phelps on August 81. The
contract for delivery of the pipes along
the routes where they We're TO be laid
was awarded as early as possible.
Work was started in laying the pipes
with the least possible delay, as the
need of better water service had ex-
listed and been planned against long be-
fore the appropriations were made.
There is withal every reason for ex-
pending the loan funds as ordered by
the Legislature just as promptly as
possible. The Territory is paying in
terest on the money all the time it lies
in the Treasury. besides which any ap-
preparations not expended by June 80
next viii lapse. In this event the pub
lie improvements for which they were
voted would have to wait until the Leg
islature again acted.

production of 1902. which Mount to

increase of production In 1908 over l90-

kinds of coal in 1878. only twenty-five
