Few citizens of Honolulu wcro there yesterday who did not hall with satis faction tho news that three of tho miserable shacks of Chinatown had been consigned to tho flames. Tho shock of tho manifestation of the plapjuo In its most deadly form was In a measiiro lessened by tho" knowledRO that at least one sourcu of danger Is wiped out never to appear again pi o vldeil the Department of Public Works does Its duty. At Inst the people of Honolulu liao come solidly and without reserve to tho support of the lloaid of Health and the olce of petty criticism Is stilled by a situation that brlng3 every man to his feet icady for action and ready to support action. That tho Hoard In ready to att and carry on it vigorous campaign, prepared to spare no effort, prepared to 1 emovc the peoplo to moro sanitary suirouiidlngs nnd apply the torch to habitations not habitable was evidenced by tho vlgoious and com mendable work of Saturday which w'll be continued till the last vestige of "Chlucsc shacks" with their attendnnt evils is removed from the town. Let the good work go on. It Is no longer n question of damages or Iosj to the property holdcrn. Tho busluesj community can better afford to pay for tho construction of healthful barraeka to accommodnto every man, woman and child In Chinatown, better afford to condemn every wooden building of Chinatown than to allow the plague to get beyond coatiol. Tho llfo of the community Is at stake, doubling Thomases havo thrust their hand Into tho sldo and thcro will be no let up till the plaguo Is Btampcd out. With tho community In Its present mind nnd present inensures In force, the pios pcetH for speedily stamping out tho ills- easo wero never better. With tho unniilmnus support of tlr people the Board of Health can act effectively. It now has that support, and tho lesults speak for tho capacity of the officials who have never been lacking. THE CENTURY MILE STONB. Januaiy 1, 1900. Is It tho narrow minded egotism expressive of hu man limitations and selfishness or an actual and steady progress toward the higher moral and intellectual Ideals that causes tho powerful Christian peo plo ot tho world to look back upon the century Just closed with unfeigned satisfaction, happy In tho belief that Iho moral and material structure man kind today offers for contemplation Is moro nearly perfect than has evor been presented at the closo of a century slnco tho beginning of tho world? Is tho Golden Itulo a more potent factor in dally llfo or Is it, ns Mark Twain says, ono of tho church's assets that Is taken out each Sunday and CI (.Illl.Cil furniture? lu.'.hiiHnl Kd,io'l..3 to Uio iiuesUtmi I buKK 4...

While thu world bccuia better, moral sentiment moro advnnccd nnd hopes for tho future brighter, tho almighty dollar still reigns with a degrco of power that often approaches suprem acy, nnd men of tho lflth century havo In many Instances bowed the knee to tho Cod of tho nnclcntSjj-i'eckonlng as 'little with tho teachings of tho tlod that guides us as did the money chnng eis of tho Temple. It material progies Is a mark ot progress toward tho gol of tho mil lennium, tho wot Id has made prodigi ous Btrldcs In tho last hundred years. In no portion ot tho gloho has this growth been moro marvellous than In our own United States ot America. History does not parallel, human mind could not foresee, few would dnro to predict the wondciful achlcvcmeuU that have been wrought by tho nation which, ut tho dawn of thu last cen tury was a mere handful of men strug gling to maintain an Independent existence, which had for Its found.! tlon principle the recognition of the Clod given rights of mankind. Yester day of a few colonials Just hotting their house in order after a successful stiuggle for political and religious lib erty; today a nation of seventy mil lions of free men controlling tho con tinent, feared by the enemies of justice, lespeeted by nations that scorned the common people and hated the principle that made every man a king nnd every woman u queen, the pilnclplo of Indi vidual equality before tlod and mini. m Hut who shall say that tho Ameil cav people In tho ruh and hurry of money getting havo forgotten tho Oo.l that gheu tho harvest'.'

What doubting Thomas be lieves In his heart tlianJn tho rush fcr the Blft, the C.lvtr ins passed out of mind? In tho world at largo elements of corruption In political llfo wero never weaker, tho power to combat them never stronger; tho su premacy of tho almighty dollar was never more curtailed, mankind never more prompt to redress n wrong; tho Golden Rule as n dally text In buulncM llfo never moro In evidence. Tho 0ih century opens with a terrible war In full sway and tho peaco of tho great nations is seriously threatened yet with nil tho faults, tho shortcomings, all tho evils and variances from al truistic ideals, tho bonds ot humanity nro steadily strengthening nnd the na tions closer to universal peaco and common brotherhood.
