sure of the close quarantine, and the
question Is nsliod whether some means
ennuot bo devised for relieving the sit
uation. If present conditions continue,
the people will begin to discuss the ad
visability of moving tho city. Dr.
Wood stated facts altogether too well
proved by experience hero and plogue
centers of the Orient. Tho authorities
have dono and are doing all within the
power of human effort. A new or bet
ter line of attack Is hard to determine.
One advantage gained by calling the
House and Scnato In session tomorrow
would be the creation of a little un
usual excitement to prevent the public
mind from getting mot bid over tho
plague outlook.
There may be other men who can
administer the olTlco of Road Super
visor as well as John Ouderklrk, but
there Is none who enn do the work bet
ter. It is to bo hoped that differences
ran be patched up.
So many plague cases novo been di
rectly traced to Asiatic goods, especi
ally foodstuffs, that the destruction of
these goods appears as a question
hardly open to argument. Theso goods
cannot bo used. They are now con
stantly depreciating In value and arc
a constant menace. It Is a foregone
conclusion that the destiuctlon ennnot
be cairlcd out without reimbursing the
owners, whoso property has becomo In
fected through no fault of their own.
Whatever the amount of the damage
claims, the price will be a small one

LEGISLATURE OR COUNCIL?
Hllo and Honolulu sire airnln contest
ing for metropolitan honors A mica
fight and the Hockley threat nine- gave
tho Queen City n tempuiary luatl.
This Is now overcome by llio appear
ance of up-to-date robborrt In Honolulu.
Mr. Dole's remarks nt the Council of
State Indicate a belief that the elec
tions wero called ott to prevent nn
election of tho President of the Repub
lic. The personal application of the
President's orders has nn Important
place In the heart of our Executive.
The distribution of $142,000 represent
ed In the npproved bills of tho Board of
Health financo commlttco will make
tho local financial situation much easi
er. Tho bills having been approved
and tho money available business men
may well ask why tho payment Is with
held at a time when circulating coin
is scarce.
The rat poisoning campaign having
closed In nn Ignomlnous failure, tho
authorities will now do well to serious
ly consider a general fumigating cam
paign throughout tho business and resi
dence sections. It means heavy ex
pense and an immense amount of labor,
but It has proved an efficacious rat ex
terminator in nil expcilmcntH made
thus far.
If It is merely the asking Mr. Loefo
ensteln is waiting for before going to
Washington, ho ought not to be oblig
ed to wait any longp". The men who
elected him ;o the local l.'IMsturo
will unquestionably be grntllYd lo h.ivo
their causo ispouiiJ by Mr. LrelKii
ntcln beforo Com;ru33. Thmij are
others who will endorse Ills work
though they did not have the oppor
tunity for voting lor him.
If three members of each Legislative
house meet In n down town ofllco to
morrow and adjourn subject to tho call
of tho President tho requirements of
tho constitution of Hawaii will bo ful
filled. This document provides that a
minority of each house may meet nnd
adjourn from day to day. Those- fear
ful of being called to tlmo for failure
to act have an opportunity to clear
themselves without danger of creating
u second edition of Kentucky embrog
llo. The Bulletin today gives a complete
leport of tho meeting of tho Council
of State for tho consideration of the
extension of sowers In Honolulu. Thoro
was practically no opposition to this
measure, although tho usual lack of
preliminary explanation by tho Execu
tive Council occasioned considerable
siiarp questioning on points of vital
Importance, to tho members assuming
responsibility for tho additional ex
penditures. It Is safe to assunio that
tho President will not only sanction
appropriations already made, but will
also give authority to tho Council to
appropriate for tho emergencies aris
ing from shortago In tho departments.
President Wood's remarks anent the
rontlnuanco of tho plaguo aro of se
rious import to tho business commun
ity. It Is fast becoming a problem how
long the merchants can stand the pres-
In view of Mr. Dole's failures to ob
tain positive Information from Wash
ington, members of tho Hawaiian
Legislature are placed In a curious if
not uncomfortable position. Under
the terms of tho President's election
order members of tho Leglslnturo con
tinue in ofllco nt tho plcasuro of tho
President. No Instruction to the con
trary having been received It Is gener
ally accepted that tho men elected to
tho Legislature of 18US aro still full
fledged nnd duly authorized legisla
tors subject to Picsldent McKlnley's
orders nnd tho constitution of the Re
public. Under the constitution of tho Re
public these men nre obliged to meet
on the third Wednesday In Februnry,
1900 tomorrow. Mr. Dole states that
ho cannot prevent the Legislature from
meeting and Minister Damon has re
fused to authorize necessary additional
expenses In the various departments
after tho last day of this month. Tho
local government also refuses to call
upon the Council of State to make ap
propriations for other purposes than
tho emergencies resultant of the bu
bonic plague. Thus a very completo
blockade has been created and the
Legislature is up a tree. As usual the
Executive Council has kept very quiet
as to Mr. Dolo's correspondence with
Washington and until tho facte wcro
bi ought out yesterday by direct ques
tioning members of tho Legislature
have been very much In tho dark.
It Is possible for tho Speaker of tho
House and President of tho Senato to
call the Legislature In scbslon tomor
row, nnd adjourn from day to day
until positive Instructions have been
received from Washington. This fic
tion would force tho Issue nnd un
questionably obtain tho decision do
Blied. If such action Is token, mem
bers of tho Leglslnturo will have to
trust to luck for their salaries, and
wait patiently for information as to
tnelr authority to mnko appropriations.
Tho obvious mnndnto of tho Presi
dent's election order was to. forestall
n legislative session In Hawaii while
tho territorial bill Is under considera
tion. With appropriations running
j short nnd tho Minister of Financo op
posed to tho contlnuanco of emergency
pi o vision for tho departments some
thing must bo done. Wo bcliovo Min
ister Damon Is mnklng a mistake In
foiclng tho Issuo nlong tho lines of
greatest resistance. His decision no
cessarlly forces members of tho Leg
islature to tako somo action and as
sumo tho responsibility of attempt
ing to force tho hand of tho President.
Unquestionably tho Council of
State can bo given authority to In
crease tho department npproprlntlons

THE HAWAIIAN ANNUAL
The Hawaiian Almanac and Amiunl

comes out a trlflo lato from unavoid
able causes. This lssuo well supports
the claim on tho outaldo co.vcr of be

founder, Thos. O. Thrum seems
brighter nnd better than most, If not

casting no reflections on tho dead, for

The retrospect of 1899 Is comprehen
