The more the community stirs tho apparent attempt to blockade the construction of the Federal building ou tho site already purchased by the Government, tho more unsavory the enemies of the so-called Muhuka site appear.

Another victory for humanity and the cause of the peoplo was scored last-evening when the City Supervis ors voted an appropriation for a po--Ice matron nt the city receiving stn- on. II it 1 1 o 1 1 n readers will recall the harrowing circumstances con ducted with tho treatment of Miss Van Kirk nt tho police station, which brought to public notice the method or crying lack of method nnd absence of humanity In dealing with slok and unfortunate women' Who come under pollee author It). Honolulu was shocked that such conditions could prevail and public sentiment vigor ously supported the demand of the II u 1 1 e 1 1 n 'that provision should be made by the city authorities for a proper detention room for wonen and also for the appointment of n police matron. Some claim that the police ma tron will have nothing to do'. Wo hope she will have little to do. Wo hope It Will not be necessary to take a woman to the police station for the next hundred years. If this hope were gratified tho city could better afford to spend tho salary drawn by thu officer for tho full century than allow ono woman to suffer the Indig nities heaped upon Miss Van Kirk as the result of a heartless, noglt? gent and ancient system. WATER METERUND LAW. Attention of tho Ilulletln has beon called to an obscure publication of the law passed by the last Leg islature under which the Superin tendent of Public Works "may" pro vldo meters for the consumers of city water. That publication wns made with the apparent purpose of showing that tho Superintendent of Public Works ul ready has the authority to force tho Installation of tho meter sstom. No ono has over questioned tho authority for running the water works that was vested in the Super intendent of Public Workg by the last Legislature. It Is Just this au thority which the Superintendent of Public Works will unquestionably loso If he persists In carrying out tho nrbltrary policy of raising rates nnd forcing the Installation of '-meters and generally conducting the bureau regardless of the sentiment of the peo. pie. as well ns the character of tho service that Is now being given for the manoy. The measure giving tho Superln. tendent of Public Works authority to lUstnllttho motors, If meters were desired,' will sustain tho principle of non-lcglslatlvo interference Just as long as tho management Is marked by a proper sense of the rights of the taxpayers In the matter. The principle Is a good one, and carries out tho Idea of the continuing appro priation as well as may be done under our present conditions; Hut no sooner does the Superin tendent of Public Works get this au thoity than he goe3 to work and, without warning or request for pub lic sentiment on the matter, prepares to raise the water rntos for a system already the subject of apologies, and tl-U ai-rat in 'r.-": tj ? v, '.jve ?- h n:ci, T"h u-rai, to itrijsn? I Of ecuf ',t, th protect ef the T a 1-' 1 c 1 1 n, voicing the almost univer sal public sentiment on the niatter, has brought about a chance In the Superintendent of Public Works' "policy." The Superintendent of Public Works haA It In his power to m.iko the principle expressed In the lav,' passed hy the last Legislature n sue eew or a dismal failure. A law pass-1 ed by the Legislature ran also bo revoked by the Legislature. And a continuation of thn water works man agement ns outlined hy thn Super intendent of public Works In sonin of the recent mandates will land tho superintendent nnd tho wntor works high nnd dry so far ns the Territory Is concerned, nnd place. bureaus morn directly In tho handi of thn people, I That's nil thero Is In It. CENSUS OF CHURCH MEMBERS. Religious beliefs of our people ns shown by the statistics ot those per sons connected with tho organized church will bo read with as much general Interest ns anything Hint tho census of the country will bring out. Of course, it is well understood that the church homo ot n man orf woman docs not, In these days, ac curately establish the religious be lief ot the person, but this method of classification furnishes tho only basis tor comparison. Appreciating the Importance of this phnso of the census work, the census bureau In one of its circulars sent out to tho newspapers of tho country hag given n digest of tho church statistics for the mainland ot the United Stntes ns shown In tho census ot religious bodies for 1D0G. That report gave UiO'aggrcgnto num ber ot church communicants ns 32, 30,445. Ot tills total, tho various Protestant bodies reported 20,287. 742 and the Homan Catholic church 12,679,142. For purposes of comparison tho census authorities divided tho prin cipal cities Into four clnssei, thoso having In 1900 n population of 300. 000 and over constituting the first class; those of from 100,000 to 300,- 000 forming the second; thoso of from 50,000 to 100,000 making tho third; nr.d those ot from 25,000 to 50,000 forming the fourth class. Of tho Protestant aggregate there were, l,47S,14i or 7.3 per cent. In the first-class' cities; 4,7 per cent. In the second; nnd 7.4 per cent. In the third and fourth classes -combined, while 8.(5 per cent, were outside the principal cities. Ot tho Unman Catholic church's total membership thero were 3,375, fs.l or 27.9 per cent. In flrst.clnsi cities; 1.3C1.132 or U.3 per cent. In the second; 1,570,944 or 13 per cunt. In the third and fourth classes com bined; with 5, 771, CIS or 47.8 per cent, outside the principal cities. ' It U seen, therefore, that tho num ber of members of the Koiuan Cath olic church reported In cities of the first cluss was considerably more than double tho number reported by all the' Protestant bodies, while out side of the principal cities the num ber reported by tho Catholics was only a llttlo over one-third of tho number credited to the Protestants. It Is pointed out In the report that tho strength of tho Protestant bodies; as compared with tho Roman Catholic church, Is greatly Under stated. Only two ot the Protestant bodies reported n majority of their member, ship' In the principal 'cities, I. e., the Church of Christ, Scientist, 82.

HOW TO SOLVE . LIQUOR PROBLEM!) Editor Evening .DuPloHn: Although I am not exactly a mallhlnl I have been hero long, enough to pay n couple or poll tax dues and with your permission I am going to put In my oar on this prohibition question. I havo not only lived In n prohibt tlon stnto but I was borm In n prohl bltlon stato and I know that Prohibi tion Is admitted to bo n hideous farce. It does not destroy tho demand for liquor, but simply degrades the chnn nel through which tho supply flows.

It seems to' me that nil that Is needed Is a concerted action of tho people of this territory, nnd nt1 tho samo time servo notice on tho law offlclnls that wo expect them to follow Instructions., This electing a man to ofllco as a public servant, your servant and my servant, for wo'aro all paying his salary, and then go down on your knees to get him to do somo llttlo act for tho public good Is getting a little too thin, nnd it Is tlmo that public officials collectively were brought up with a round turn. j There Is certainly a subsiding of'tho prohibition wave throughout tho United States, and the prohibition farce would not be tried except In somo distant territory like this.
