It in well known that when the
correspondent of the S F Chroni
cle arrived here in 1893 it was only
a question of money whether he
espoused the cause of the monarchy
or that of the Provisional Govern
ment The name of the correspon
dent has escaped us and we must
ask the Advertiser to enlighten our
readers
Since tho writer for the only
morning paper has become sano as
to judgment and sure punishment
for sn it will be in order for him to
recommend a day of fasting and
prayer Such a proposition would
look odd in tho columns of the Ad
vertiser we admit but it would not
be the first time that great emer

Heasian editor of the Advertiser for
a recognition though it may be a
little tardy What the writer of
this mornings editorial about the
monarchy and it overthrow has to
say may hoodwink recent citizens
but not those who lived under the
beneficent rule of Hawaiis sov
ereigns
What the President of the Board
of Health says about plague carries
little weight since he took especial
paiqs to go about telling prominent
citizens that Mrs Boardmaus disease
was not plague Was he hedging iu
the ovent of her recovery Possibly
he was telling to pre
vent panic In either case he de
stroyed any confidence that some
people had in him

There is somd doubt in the minds
of some of tho people who are being
quarantined to ascertain what be
comes of the moneys whioh they
have in possession at the time of
their deportation to the detention
camps We have no doubt that
their moneys as well as personal
property will be well oared for and
in due time restored but it may be
wise for the authorities to have
responsible parties bold the cash
and give -receipts which will enable
the poor people to feel that their
little savings are alright

That comparisons are odious is an
old saw We have heard persons
making comparisons between the
way that the late cholera epidemic
was handled and the handling qf the

there is a very wide difference be

plague about whioh little ia known

Plague is a far more inslduous foe
to deal with Have patience dear
