THURSDAY, APRIL lfi, 188C.
. THE WATER SERVICE.
j It is all very well to put forth tho
excuse for an inefficient water sup
ply, that people waste a great deal
of water in irrigation and otherwise.
But it should at the same time be
shown that the department has taken
reasonable measures to prevent
waste. There is a good deal of
evidence, apparent to the most
!( casual observation, that the outside
p . management of tho waterworks has
( been as slovenly as tho adrainistra-
r' tion of the finances inside. In some
t quarters of the city, where house
j taps yield no water for several hours
S' each evening and morning, the
gushing of water from garden hose
may bo heard through the whole
night. As late as nine o'clock in
t the morning, too, Chinese shop-
' keepers all through Chinatown are
j drenching the streets in front of
i their premises. AH this constitutes
an imposition upon householders,
from whom water rates are exacted
f but who cannot get a supply for the
most necessary domestic purposes.
Again, the reservoirs arc maintained
I in a disgracefully careless fashion.
I There arc many acres of land above
f Kapcna pool in the condition of a
? stagnant; swamp. The porous soil
I must suck up an immense quantity
j, . of water that might be conserved
i and conducted into the reservoir.
Rank vegetation, permitted to grow
and rot all over the area, must
absorb a great deal more, while
corrupting the water of the stream
supplying the pool. Cattle are
allowed to roam all through the
swamp, adding a material quota of
filth to tho supply. Probably it is
not too much to say that a very
little engineering, with n proportion
ately small expenditure of money on
mechanical work, 'would add at least
a fourth to the efficiency of that
reservoir. The Government should
make an effort to place this most
important public service in a satis
factory condition, before acting up
on "suggestions" of fancy improve
ments. MISAPPROPRIATION.
A Hawaiian Appropriation Bill,
at least that of the last session of
the Legislature, has one striking
peculiarity, viz., that tho amount
appropriated exceeds the revenue
estimated. The legislative bodies
of other nations arc in the habit of
regulating their appropriations by
their probable revenue; that is,
they do not usually vote away more
money than thty expect to receive.
If the revenue from all sources is in
sufficient for requirements, the
deficiency is provided by a Loan
Act. Our legislators are not gov
erned by tho customs and methods
of other countries. Oh dear, No !
Whether there is money or not,
they can appropriate it all the same,
and keep ton appropriating! This
is a matter in which we beat tho
world. Perhaps it is because wc
arc moro enlightened and wiser than
other nations I Only it requires
great charity and little knowledge, a
(8trong heart and a weak head, to
believe so.
There is another feature of our
Appropriation Bill that is striking,
but perhaps not so peculiar ns tho
one just noted ; that is, tho large
ness of amounts put down for super
fluities and tho smallness of those
for necessities, thus magnifying the
work of the merely ornamental and
depreciating tho value of the really
useful, giving prominenco to tho
.insignificant and obscuring tho im
portant. "Wo do not wish to insinu
ate that every necessary work and
all worthy objects are slighted or
Inadequately provided for; but that
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
some publlo interests and proeslng
public wants, and some necessary
departments of government have a
meagre allotment on tho Appropria
tion Bill, while liberal amounts urc
recorded for objects and purposes
of little or no benefit to the country
or its people. Thus, for instance,
the sum of ten thousand dollars is
lavished on a useless genealogy
board, and a useful institution like
the Insane Asylum compelled to
drag along with an amount unequal
to its reasonable and absolute re
quirements. So that with over
seventy inmates it can only employ
four watchmen, divided into two
watches of eight hours each. A
pretty weak guard for so large a
number of unfortunates.
Now, wo confess to a lack of
veneration for a body of men who
disposes of the people's money in
this sort of way, however much wc
may respect individual members of
it. In fact, wo fuel something akin
to contempt. Perhaps it is a wrong
feeling, but really wc cannot help
it. If this body constitutes the
'assembled wisdom" of the country,
wc, are constrained to say that the
country is sadly in want of wisdom,
and had better send abroad for
some.
SELLING WITHOUT A LICENSE.
The merchants of Honolulu have
just grounds of complaint against
some of the sailing vessels running
between this port and San Fran
cisco. The captains of these vessels
bring here every trip quantities of
hay, grain, and other commodities,
and sell them without a license. In
some cases they are assisted by
their wives, who are generally suc
cessful in disposing of imported
wares in the line of female requi
sites. This is a manifest injustice
to tho people of the place, who pay
a large fee to the Government for
the privilege of selling imported
goods. These captains, who pay
neither license nor rent, undersell
the regular traders, and thus
damage their business. It is im
possible that those who contribute
to the Government tho cost of n
license and to the landlord the rent
of premises, besides paying the
annual taxes, should be able to
compete with others who are en
cumbered with no such burdens.
Of course, the injured traders have
a remedy at law, but the remedy,
like many other legal remedies for
existing evils, is difficult of applica
tion. That is, the offending parties
are shrewd enough not to be easily
caught, and until the culprits arc
caught and evidence forthcoming to
secure conviction, they cannot be
punished, although well known to
be guilty.
CLAD TO HEAR THE BAND ACAIN.
It is scarcely an exaggeration to
say that tho return of the Royal
Hawaiian Band is hailed with joy
by every man, woman and child in
the community. The Band is one
of those institutions which wc can
not do without. Its temporary ab
sence brings us to a realization of
this fact. We can, and have, and
do put up with many discomforts,
and inconveniences, and actual nui
sances that might be obviated, such
ns dilapidated sidewalks, rutty
streets, an insufficient and some
what impuro water supply, unclean
poi factories within city limits, and
pestiferous back slums which im
pregnate the atmosphere with un
wholesome odors. But what should
we do without the Band? If we
had never had it, we should proba
bly never miss it ; but having had
it, and had it so long, it becomes a
necessity. When deprived of it for
a while, as wo occasionally are, wc
pull through with difficulty. With
out the Band life in Honolulu to
many is unattractive, bur public
gatherings aro dull, our evening
parties monotonous, and our beau
tiful moonlight nights lacking the
final touch that makes loveliness
perfect. With the Band our isola
tion is bearable, our lack of amuse
ments endurable, our dust and un
even thoroughfares and insufficiently
lighted streets not so disagrceablo
after all. Therefore wo are all
pleased and delighted that tho Band
has come back, and shall prize it
moro highly than ever, because of
its brief absence. To ask the favor
of a little music How, is entirely un
necessary ; because the Bandmaster,
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Professor Dcrgor, is nlways oven
moro ready to give than the people
to receive, no matter how ready they
may bo to fulfil their part. The
second evening after returning, be
fore tho boys had fully recovered
their land legs, gladdening and
soothing, sounds floated through tho
atmosphere from Kmma Square.
Another concert is announced for
this evening; and, taking the past
as a criterion of the future, others
will undoubtedly follow in quick
succession, and those who hunger
for music will have their appetites
gratified and satisfied.
