Now that llilo'fl public building has

Judging from the rapidity with which
the local government obtitlnu Infor

matters of real public liitrnMt, Mr.
Dole's agent, llnrtwell. Is giving his
whole time to mourning over 'he Inll

It Is to be hoped the next mull fiom

I'roni the attitude of some of our

building operations of the past will be
put completely In the shadow, Host of
all the new structures must b build
ings worthy of a progressive inndrn
city.
It Is a noticeable fact that none of
the government organs have nrlseu to

obstacles, Dilllnglinm has uot a .vlpci

If tho leprescntatlvo men of tho
Japanese colony will Join heartily In
tho movement, the people of Honolulu
can rid tho town of tho miserable
blackmailers, who not only live on tho
earnings of fallen women, but threaton
with violence, nny of their own nation
ality who Interfere with them. Tow
while people of tho town appreciate the
power of theso low lived coolies. Any
Japanese who opposes them openly Is
subject to a blackmailing boycott and
threats of personal Injury nro by no
means unknown. To put an end to this
business tho people must lmvo tho co
operation of tho Jnpancso business

Lack of proper statistics Is a short
coming that tho Board of Health shares
with nearly every department of tho
government. For years It has been n
practical Impossibility to secttro from
various legislatures sufficient appro
priations to supply tho additional cler
ical force for such work In every de
partment. Tho pcoplo aro not

wilt benefits to the country that will re

It Is cry natural for those wIkho
pockcthookn nro seriously affected by
tho general quarantine measures to
seek n let up on the stringent rules
lelatlve to Inter-Island traffic. Uut tne
losses now experienced nro a mere baga
telle compared with the results should
the plague make Its appearance In any
of the plantation districts. Whether
Honolulu has to continue Its fight
against the plague six weeks or six
months, the disease must be kept with
in Its present limits, and no possible
chances call be taken. Let alone the
financial damage from possible ills

In sections where Chinese nnd Japan

almost a hundred to one, Is n situation
not pleasant to contemplate. Until
Honolulu Is reasonably certain that
progress of the plague Is stayed a Chi
nese wall of protection should be held
aiiout the other Islands.
Till; IIUSIDI:NCU DISTRICT.
The proposition by Col. Klsher to In
augurate In the outside districts, a
system of Inspection similar to that
carried out during cholera times Is one
that will meet with favor among tho
majority of residents beyond tho busi
ness limits. I'nder present conditions
nearly every householder has to bo on
guard against visitors In the servants
quartern, ami, although these vlslto.-s
are promptly ordered out they nro ap
parently wandering about anil prob
ably overcrowding the boarding houses
which are little better than those in
Chinatown.
It Is apparent that the outside dis
tricts now contain a good sized floating
Oriental population composed largely
of men who got out of Chinatown
while tho quarantine was raised 'or
have since escaped the vigilance of the
guards. Should the plague break out
In one of tho Chinese or Japaneso
boarding houses In the rcsldeuco dis
tricts It 1b probable there would be a
general scattering similar to that
which has gono on In Chinatown. To
establish n system of inspection similar
to that of cholera times every person
In every bouse would be accounted for
twice each day. and the custom now
apparently In vogue of Japanese
changing their places of abode without
knowledge of the authorities would be
practically Impossible.
With tho city divided into small dis
tricts each Inspector could easily make
his rounds twice each dny, before and
after business hours. If the Hoard of
Health will say the wind, volunteers
for the work will respond quickly If
more men are needed.
IIHPUULICANS AND TKUSTS.
Indianapolis Journal.
The Supremo Court has decided In
every case In which unlawful combina
tions aro attempted In violation of In
tel state commerce that Congress has
power to legislate. It 1ms, therefore,
sustained (bo views of Harrison, Sher
man und leading Republicans which
are embodied In the Sherman law, und
buy rejected tho doubts of Mr. Cleve
land anil his associates, which seemed
to present tho two entirely Democratic
Congrrtses which followed the Con
gress enacting tho Sherman law from
taking any action hostile to trusts. In
this latest decision (the Aildvstona
case.) the court has declared without
reservation that Congress has power
to legislate against nil combinations of
manufacturers which nro In restraint
of commerco between tho States. And
now President McKlnloy urges Con
gress, which has tho highest nssur
auco of Its right to legislate against
trusts prejudicial to interstate com
merce, to enact further antitrust laws.
