THE RESERVOIR QUESTION.

correspondent who opposes the
building of the Nuuanu reservoir ASKS
whether it is possible that the Cow
eminent intends to impound ram water
there? He assumes that the reservoir
II supplied with such water, will be-
come a breeder of sickness in the dry
season.
We do not see that the new reservoir
would have any different supply than
the old ones upon which Honolulu now
chiefly depends. 1mpounded valley
water comes from the surrounding
watershed and is all rain primarily,
though a part of it sinks into the
ground in one place and comes out IN
the form of a spring elsewhere, the
supply depending, like that of the
streams, upon the extent of the ram
fall Unmixed rain is to be preferred
at any time on the score of purity 10
spring or brook water. 1t is the dis
tillation of the clouds without faint
of earth salts: and the more of it all
the Nuuanu reservoirs get the better.
If everybody drank rain water by
preference to any other kind they
would live longer.
Inc CoHipiaiht aSt'iiiSl aho''Si -N"N
anu reservoir is not, however, disin-
terested. 1t reveals the presence of the
old Pauoa job again. Says the writer
speaking of the Booth tract emulation:
IF II is possible for the Government
to obtain this water at the figure
passed by the last Legislature, we will
have a supply several hundred feet
high, pure, and will run over the tops
of all high buildings and meet the re-
quirements of the increasing popula-
ton for a long time to come"
How natural all that sounds. And is
the price of this intermittent Pauoa
supply, much of which has already
been sold to taro planters, still $3.50, 900
to the public and $4,000 to the asses
sor?

NO DANGER FROM CONGRESs.

APPROPRIATION PROSPECTS.

While there is no likelihood that Ha-
T, wall will have good representation In
| Congress for some years to come, the
| interest shown by the Departments in
Territorial needs points towards. large
appropriations. This interest has al
ready shown itself in the text OF a CIR
cular received by the Acting Governor
| In which Secretary Hitchcock asks
| for statements as to what Federal
appropriations are regarded as neces-
sary during the next fiscal year. We
may add, on the authority of gem
tleman Just back from the East, that
Secretary Shaw also showed a lively
Interest in Hawaiis needs and COM
planned that various suggestions he had
caused to be made to the people Of Ha-
wall through Delegate Kuhio had either
been neglected here or the local public
had not heard of them-the latter be-
ing actually the case. However the
Secretary still stood ready to do his
share to recompense this Territory for
its loss of customs and postal revenues.
With two such friends at court, an
uninfiuential Delegate more or less
need not count. BY the help of the
Departments several good things we
need from congress may NC op'"'i'''
1t is noticeable that the Department
| of the Interior specifies NECESSARY
appropriations. OF these harbor i'm
provements here and at Hilo and
complete lighthouse system speak Tor
themselves. They are palpably neces-
sary to commerce. Forts need not be
pressed for as the War Department Is
looking after them with the promise
of a large outlay. We may safely as
sumo, furthermore, that the defence
of Pearl Harbor did not become prac-
teal question until the Navy Depart
ment had decided to locate dockyard
there; hence Hawaii need waste no t,-..c
in urging the expenditure of money on
the lochs. We shall get 1t anyhow.
What remains are a new postoiiice ana
custom house, the necessity for which,
IL a debatable question, may be dis
cussed with the Treasury and Postofhce
Departments in the full assurance that
the wants and wishes of this Territory
will have a friendly hearing there.

COMPARATIVE STRENGTH.

Kuropatkin's talk about waiting for
Overwhelming numbers has been
met by the landing, near NewchwanS,
of a division of Japanese. Here are
from $1,000 to 10000 men added to the
armies of Oyama and when more are
wanted they will be forthcoming. 1T
should not be forgotten, when talking
about Overwhelming numbers" that
Russia can only assemble the number
of men that single-track railroad can
supply with food and munitions of war.
plus what grain can be got in an
overpopulated and proximate Manchu-
ria, while Japan can assemble an In
definite number of troops, close to the
home base. supplied by large fleet or
transports-troops drawn from a larger
population than the North and South
together had during the American
Civil War.
1t Is not to be supposed, while Japan
holds command of the sea. that she
will permit herself to be outnumbered
by the Russians. She does not need
to. There are today in the Japanese
empire about 100000 people and one
in five is capable of bearing arms. But
IL we say one in ten, the number Is
100000 all of whom, either in school
or in camp. have had certain amount
of military drill and are brave ana
obedient. We assume that Japan could
easily put 100000 men into Manchuria,
while experts say that Russia, de-
prived of supplies by sea, can only
maintain about 25O000. Furthermore,
man to man, the Japanese has proved
himself the better soldier.
Numerically, therefore, the Japanese
must have the advantage until, If the
war proceeds that long Russia double
tracks the Siberian railway. But long
before that time there may be media
ton with the tacit concurrence OF both
sides. Wars cost too much money to be
permitted to drag on.

FoRrIflcArIoNs COMING.

The news about the quest of fortifi-
cation sites here by the United states
government will be cheerfully received
by everyone who knows what the build
ing and manning of forts Will mean TO
Honolulu.
For business reasons the agents OF
the Government have kept as quiet as
possible, but 1t is now out that fort
is to be built and garrisoned on old
Waikiki beach, taking in the residence
sites of the Schaefers, Hobrons, Pratts
and Afongs; and that Pearl Harbor will
be defended by a fort at Puuloa. IL
may be presumed that the further rec
concentrations of the Engineering board
for defences at BARRIERS Point, Diamond
Head Niu and the Pail will be at
tended to in turn.
This local development of the great
scheme of insular defence which Is be-
ing carried out with the same preci-
sion which marked the course OF the
Endicott defensive program on the
mainland, means several good things
for Honolulu. 1t shows that the naval
development of Pearl Harbor has been
settled upon: and in connection with
the purchase of large army reserva-
ton. that the Government means to
keep a numerous garrison here. All
this foreshadows a considerable outlay
of money and a substantial increase OF
the white population. We are going to
get back good part of the money we
are contributing to the support of the
Federal government and add some hun
dreds of men to our purchasing popu-
lation besides.

Won pLEnwe AND the JEWS.

The world will not confer its SYM
pathy upon Minister Won Plehwe. the
Russian statesman who was killed yes
terday by a bomb, any more than 1t
did upon Governor Bobriqoff whom a
Finn recently felled with pistol bullet.
1t was Plehwe who became responsible
for the massacre at Kisheneff by re-
fusing as Minister of the Interior to let
the Governor General stop the killing.
Three times he was appealed to but
not until the mischief was done did he
give reluctant consent to the use Of
troops against the anti-Semites.
The policy to which Won Plehwe was
committed he described last year as
follows to a correspondent of the New
York Jewish Journal:
The Russian Government Is ever
ready to support any effort that will
eventually terminate the career of the
Jewish race in this country. We want
them out of here. 1t gave its official
sanction to the Zionists in Odessa
twenty-three years ago with the hope
that through their efforts many Jews
would emigrate to Palestine. 1t also
encouraged the late Baron de Hirsch
in his efforts to coloniZe Jews in Ar
gentine, and of late it has looked with
favor upon the present political Zion
ism and permitted it's progress because
1t hoped that Zionism would help to
solve the Jewish problem, which is
causing the Government so much wor-
ry, by creating a center of attraction
in Palestine whereto the Jews should
emigrate.
But we can no longer countenance
this movement, for we find that in
stead of centering all their efforts up
on the colonization of Jews in Pales-
tine, the Zionists have created a world
powerful purpose to strengthen their
position in the land where they live and
to thwart Russia in every possible
way.
From the reports we receive of the
Zionist activities we see that the ac-
QUESTION of Palestine has been neglect
ed entirely, and instead they are es-
tablishing trade schools and educa-
tonal institutions to equip the rising
Jewish generation with the proper
means of defense against the hatred
of their neighbors. But this is con-
trary to the Russian policy. whose in
tent it is to weaken the power of the
Jews.
The Zionists have also by means of
their organs stirred up the world
against the Kishineff happenings and
yet we cannot guarantee against a re-
petition of the same happenings" un-
less at least 100000 Jews be taken out
of Russia. The Zionists, instead of
working toward this end. which would
secure them against such calamities.
are creating hostile feeling against
Russia"
There was no way in Russia for the
Jews to deal lawfully with Won Pleh-
we; no appeal from his decisions, no
court where justice could be sought.
Hence the bomb. which again en-
phasiZes the saying that Russia is a
despotism tempered by assassination.
