A continuous easterly wind at any season means high tide at Alexandria, and when it brings, as it generally does, a heavy rain, the wharves here are often flooded. In these cases it sometimes happens that the flood is almost entirely below the Long bridge and greater at Alexandria than in Washington harbor, but when an easterly rain comes during the break- ing up of the ice there is generally a flood clear up to the falis. A rain of this character is pre- vailing this morning,and the ques is merely one of how long the tinue. Of course a change in the wind removes all danger. FROM WASHINGTON TO WARRENTON VIA ALEX- ANDRIA. ‘The Washington fire department some time ‘since sold the Alexandria fire wardens a hand- some but heavy hose carriage, ‘which was re- paired, painted and put in use by the Columbia company here. Now that the Alexandria fire department is about to use the new-fashioned hose wagons instead of the old-fashioned hose reels the Washington carriage has been sold to the volunteer hose company of Warrenton, Va., and will do fire service theré hereafter. THE QUESTION OF RENEWED LICENSES. It is understood that the judge of the cor- Portion court is willing to renew licenses to those recently punished liquor dealers who have been only once convicted of violations of the law, but that hereafter even a single con- viction of the violation of the law will be con- sidered as evidence that the culprit is not such ‘8 person as will keep such a house as the law requires and the judge will not afterward license him to keep a saloon.

If Congress permits the Norfolk and Western | railroad to enter Georgetown without too re- | strictive conditions it should open new fields for | the commercial and manufacturing interests of | this District. Such conditions as are necessary for the protection of the public, either as safe- guards for life and property or limitations upon future monopoly, should be imposed. Such conditions as are simply intended to load down the enterprise in the interest of rival cor- porations should be avoided. It will be quite easy to determine under which of theso heads proposed amendments should be classed. Our citizens can thus readily test the good faith of those who mayfoffer them. Few people have reflected upon the natural advantages of the Georgetown water front, which will be stimulated and developed by the construction and operation of this railroad. | Even in this nation of extended waterways this is one of the comparatively few points where mili power and tide water meet under large con- ditions. In its rapid descent from the Great Falls the Potomac river and the canal at Georgetown furnish a water power which in volume, in constancy of flow and in conven- ience of control is equaled by few other points in this country, and is surpassed by none. ‘The main channel of the river comes through the Long bridge opposite to Washington and hug- ging near to the Virginia shore, but then deflects to Georgetown, 40 that ‘there are some thirty feet of water at the wharves, and minimum depth of nineteen feet of water from thence down the river to Chesapeake bay. Mills run by never-failing water power can thus loud their produets direct into the sea-going vertcl. Along the narrow | strip of from 100 to 200 feet between the canal and the river lies Water street, which is the proposed route of the Norfolk and Western toad. One can readily perceive the manufact- uring and shipping facilities of this route when | cemented together and fed by the possibilities of the railroad. If directed by a wise foresight and by liberality of treatment the Georgetown water front should, under these conditions, be- come the best cominercial and manufacturing location in this District. Asis well known the channel in immediate front of Washington does not extend further up | | the river, and hus furnishedata maximum depth | only sixteen feet of water. That bas only been | secured by continuous dredging, and it is ex- | pected to be maintained by # system of sluice gatew in the upper part of the reclaimed flats. Itis probable that thirteen feet of water will come nearer to the fact upon the average, and the chi ly wide enough to permit nboat. ‘Those restricted will not improve. ‘They may be ex- ow worse in time. ‘That is the his- y channel kept open by artificial | .arge tobacco warehouses once pros- | pered at Bladensburg. and vessels of consider- | able size formerly loaded at its wharves. Now | |a flatboat of a few inches draft will ascend the | | Eastern branch any distance only in favorable | stages of the tide. | Some capable men belidve that in time the | Whar! frontage of Washington will be upon the | | Virginia channel on the southera edge of the | reclaimed flats, and where the main waterway | of the Potomac flows down from Georgetown. This is po but remote, It would seem | probable that the long haul across the flats, which will be maintained as a publie park, wili | | operate a# a bar to any economical use of that | | water front. Still it must be remarked that all these minor incidents will im-time yicld to the necessities of a large population, and time therefore will solve this problem. But in the meantime the advantages of the Georgetown water front are existing and exceptional. They are within our grasp. Let us not fail to utilize them. > A Suit for Damages. Oliver C.

Not only were all the bar fixtures and stock deposited on the sidewalk, but even a redhot and smoking stove was among the things removed. Police officers were on hand to prevent a serious disturbance, which was probably averted only by the ab- sence of the delinquent. When the woman left in charge of the place saw the constable and officers coming up she closed and barred all the doors, necessitating the forcible breaking into the place. A NEW CONDUCTOR'S TRICK. + Among the new conductors who have recently been put on the Georgetown and Tenleytown line isa young and conscientious but exceed- ingly “green” son of the isle across the Atlantic. He hasn't as yet completely mastered the Ameri- can way of collecting tickets, and his brothers in the registering business are continually tell ing of the amusing things he docs und says while on duty. ‘The Intest is that a day or two ago the new comer suddenly found his car fall of passengers, and though he went through carefully he feared that some had been missed. Unwilling that any American citizen should ride free of cost, and yet not thinking it proper to ask the passengers individually if their fares had been paid, he pulied the stopping bell and planted, himseif in the most conspicuous place Available. When the rumble of the car wheels had ceased a voice with an accent owned only by the wearer of the cap and blue sang out, “All yez that hasn't paid ye fares plaze hold uj yez hands!” The passengers amiled and grinned, the motor man hallooed and the pocket books kept their mouths shut.

The Members Are Thrifty and Prosperous in Utah, W. A. Kinney of Sait Lake City accompanied the commissioners from that place to Wasbing- ton, merely a8. friend, however, he being in no wise connected with them. Mr. Kinney isa native of Hawaii, born of Atverican parents, his father occupying an Position. He has resided for the past few years in Salt Lake, where he is engaged in business. In discussing the situation he gave some interesting information to Tue Stax rep- Tesentative concerning the Hawaiians and a colony of Hawaiians near Salt Lake City. A HAWAIIAN cOLoxY. “There are about eighty men, women and children in the colony,” he said, ‘which is Situated on the west side of the Inke, about seventy miles from Salt Lake. They do not ae polygamy. They were brought over ‘rom time to time by the Mormons and are under their direction. They live in the com- munity style and their settlement is one of the most interesting in the territory. There is also quite colony of Hawaiians on Pudget sound engaged in the lumber trade. There are many scattered throughout California. The natives make splendid sailors, and during the war of the rebellion many enlisted and served in our navy. EDUCATED, QUIET AND CONTENTED. “In the Utah colony they take the Honolulu newspapers, are educated, quiet and contented. In fact. the proportion of illiteracy among Hawaiians is very small and I never met but Yery few who could not read. In the Utah colony they take out naturalization papers. are very desirous of becoming American citizens many inquiries how we could give such enormons imducements. 729 7th se 729 7th st. Our object is to bring you to see our new store, which is the finest of its kind in this city, and we and have often said to me that they regretted that they could not vote. Iam nota lawyer a not posted as to the reasons, but when they applied for the privilege to vote at Salt Lake the courtdenied their application, holding that they were not citizens and could not vote. “They are all much interested in the annexe ation question and for it as anit. One of them wanted to come over and urge their side before President Harrison. “The natives have been coming to Utah from time to time for about fifteen years. Some time ago discontent sprang up among a few and they petitioned the Hawaiian government to vond for them. , The petition was forwarded, acted upon promptly and the money sent to me to pay their fares, I bought their tickets, but they then refused to return. ‘They like it there very much, living contentedly. WORK OF NATIVE DEMAGOGUES. “The dissatisfaction among the natives at the islands is caused by a few native demagogues and unscrupulous whites. The interests of the whites and the natives are inseparable and inter- woven, but these demagogues have so mixed them up that they are confused. A Hawaiian monarchy of Hawaiians is abourd and imposel- ble. Their course as a race was run twenty years ago. The project of the queen to estab- lish such may be compared to the Indian ghost dance, which is to reproduce the bison and Indian domination. Assuming that it was successful inure to the bene- fit of the royal family and their fa- vorites, and ‘the natives. as a body would be crushed greater than ever. The monareby could not support them, for their sustenance is derived from the whites and American capital. The fall of the white man works the destruction of the native. Where one native went to the docks upon the arrival of shipsand steamers ten go now, and the monarchy wouldn't give them work. “They are law-abiding people. Inever heard of a native even so much as insulting a white | woman, but, on the contrary, their respect for white women is very great, and if one should be belated on a journey she would call to her aid as quickly as a white man.
