The majority of citizens are against
any legislation that will tend to dimin

and heartily score the
bill introduced by Senator J. Brown of
Hilo, which, if passed, will permit fish-
ermen to use explosives within the reefs
and other fishing grounds where the vvnen ner iamny nnany urea or me

subieet. Thev are all of one mind that 1 the fable of ''Pope Joan." But a real
the bill as it stands is an atrocious one
and will do the country more harm than
good.
Henry Waterhouse says the annulment
of any portion of the law prohibiting the
use of explosives in the waters where
fish abound is reprehensible.
"It is the most short-sighted piece of
legislation that I have ever seen intro
duced in a Legislature," he said
Who
does it hurt the most? The Hawaiians
naturaljy. They mostly live from hand
mnuth hv rinv nnrt noi and fish
' are their staple articles of food. Remove
the fish and you see what happens. Poi
I is becoming scarcer as each year rolls
! by, but to take away the fish well, 1
j cannot understand how a native can in
i troduce or support a bill of this sort and
; be In bs right senses.
! "Furthermore the use of slant powder
by it'.- natives causes much damage to
them. The most of the natives whom
I you see minus a hand, suffered by try
ing to . catch fish with dynamite. Public
sentiment, I know, is against permitting
the use of explosives in our food-fish
wnt.Ts. I certainly deplore legislation
of this kind.
' "Around the Island of Niihau the fish
are plentiful . and the natives do not
use other than the usual methods for
i catching them. The waters there are
1 alive with them. If explosives
are in
troduced, however, it will not taitt- a
great while to drfve all the fish away."
Senator Cecil Brown of Oahu is heart
ily against the proposition. He heliev.s
that the old law should stand as It is,
prohibiting explosives from being used
in any place where fish thrive.
"There is no use, however, of making
a fight on the Senate floor against the
V til
I""-, J?;'".!.?. : ,7
Tou might just as well Putt your
SrerS. shoS-slgWd as to wan
the bill to go through, why I suppose
it will go, pell-mell. This is a bad meas
ure, and would certainly make our sup
ply of fishes very short indeed. I am
against anv DroDoeltion by which the
food fishes of the Island waters will be
diminished. It will hurt the Hawaiians
more than any one else, and certainly
at the present time the price of fish is
hlsrh enough."
Secretary of the Territory Henry K.
Cooper me of the first men here to
organize an association which hnd for
j its purpose the preservation of the fish
j m Hawaiian waters, and to prevent
thf.,r who1(lf)ai,, destruction, characterizes
the ,-ittempt to permit the use of explo-
i sives within the hitherto sacred limits
. as indefensible.
i "tt .em ttv.t fnt strontr ele-
. - v .... . r-
nn nt in such a hill being introduced in-
to the Legislature just at the time when
we. who had associated ourselves to
gether to increase the fish supply here,
were about to tr.-t aid from the Federal
; Government. This bill permits the na-
j tive and Japanese fishermen to get fish
fhy means of Riant powder or any explo-
; slve that will destroy them
by
tne
the
wholesale. Just the removal
of
'words 'reefs or waters' gives every one
! a privilege which is not allowed in any
other place where the community de-
; nends larirelv for its food supplies upon
i the fish. We have been working hard
I to arrive at some methods bV which the
: fish now in the waters can 6e protected,
that Is the smaller ones, s. that in tlm"
; there will bp ample qupjili.-s of food
; fishes for all.
"Only vesterday morninc I sow near
my residence on the shores of Pearl
Harbor, Japanese fishermen netting in
thousands of mullets not longer than
one's freflnerer. TheV were dumped in
to barrels and probably f"d to boss or
they will be used as fertilizer. This, to
mv mind, is nothing short of criminal.
These men, with no thonrht of the fu
ture, destroy every r"ss'hle means bv
which our waters may teem with fish.
Now to add giant n wdcr to this Indis
criminate ue of the nets and .. seines
would remove a source of food supnly
which would naturally hit the naMv
Hawaiian hardest.
"The Federal anthorlt'es are soon to
send representatives of the United State
Fish Commission. They will investigate
the species which are la these waters,
and also the methods by which thev
are caueht. and make a full renort to
Washington. Tn that report will also,
no doubt, be interesting matter relating
to their wholesale destruction."
T. W. Hobron, the yachtsman, and
one of the members of the association
for the preservation of fish, said he was
against the measure Introduced by
Brown of Hilo. He characterized it as
reckless and harmful.
"Tf the natives could only be mide to
see that this measure is In reality kill
ing the goose that is laying golden eggs
for them, then there would be some
hope, ft is like taking food right out
of their mouths. I think that Ce?ll
Brown will make a hard fight on the
question, but If the Introducer of the
bill has his bead hard set, I don't sun-
I poe talk against It will do any good,
i We have rot to preserve the fish here.
iThp Hawaiians will feel the loss of the
j fish most, and they ought to be consld
! ered, especially by the Hawaiian mem
! hers of the Legislature.
"Ther" is another nhase to this mat
ter which is also Interesting and should
be a big argument against the passage
of the bill, and that Is this: The use of
explosives by the natives will malm
them and render the majority of them
cripples for life. 1 presume that nine
tenlhs of the Hawaiians without one or
both hands, lost them by attempting to
catch fish by the use of giant powder,
i They don't know how to use it, but If
i the law gives them the privilege of us
I ing It openly, the danger w'U ve great.
' I had two friends who lost their hands
that way.
"I certainly don't want to see any
j legislation pass that will diminish this
particular food supply."

C N FEDERATE PENSIONS.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 28. The pres
I sure of the Confederate pension fund
i "n the financial resources of the South- I
ern States is growing steadily greater.

j In Louisiana the increase required a
constitutional amendment, which was
adopted by an overwhelming popular
vote in November last. Alabama had
sought to limit the expenditure for this
purpose by a law levying a special tax
for the support of Confederate veter
ans; but the provision proved as im
potent to check the flood of pensions
as the constitutional limitations in
Louisiana. A few days ago the Ala
bama House of Representatives ap
propriated $100,000 for pensions for the
Confederate veterans in addition to the
Snecial Pension tax.
Several of the members approved the
appropriation in speeches in which
they declared their high respect for the
veterans who fought in the lost cause,
"But the first duty of the State's rep-
resentativt-s." said Mr. Whiteson, of
Talledega, who led the opposition to
more pensions, "is to protect the treas-
Other members who favored the ap
propriation reminded the Alabama leg
islators of "their duty to the men who
followed Lee and Jackson." and by an
overwhelming majority of 73 to 16, the
Alabama House declared that the Con
federate veterans should have addi
tional pensions, whether the treasury
could stand it or not.
In Mississippi the pension appropria
tion was doubled this year, and yet
such is the rush for pensions, that it
failed to accomplish its purpose of pro
viding a living for the old and infirm
Confederates. The veterans are get
ting only $,''.4 a year, or $2.93 a month,
less than they can possibly live on.
Some radical remedy Is needed, and
the Mississippi Legislature attempted
to supply one last year by passing a
number i t new pension laws, especially
to prevent fraud.
In Florida the pension system prov
ed even worse, and the appropriate s
for Confederates reached such enor
mous proportions that the popular sen
timent insisted upon a check.
So far. the Gulf States have failed
completely in reaching any stable pen
si n system. Their laws on the sub
ject have been changed at every ses
sion of the Legislature. Every check
intended to prevent treasuries of the
several States from being swamped by
the floods of pensions has been swept
away by appeals to sentiment. A leg
islator has but to use the words "Lee
and Jackson" to carry any pension
measure he may favor over all oppo
sition. The pension matter will soon reach
a critical stage and the appropriations
for pensions will be greater than the
finances of the States will allow; in
deed, no one is able to show how Ala
bama can afford the $100,000 extra It
has Just voted for Confederate veter
ans, without interfering very consider-
, ably with other expenditures.
