Mr.. George E. Mcneil. Secretary of the
Massachusetts Knights of Labor, speaking
at meeting of the Boston Congregational
Club the other night, defined "scab" as a

ical leper." That is the labor union defini-

not belong to a labor union, and is willing to
work wherever or whenever he can get a
chance. If number of men strike for higher
wages and leave their places the men that fill
them become, in the eyes of the strikers,
"scabs," that is, moral, social and eco
nomical lepers." They may be just as
good men or better than the strikers !;
they may be as good or better work
men, but the mere fact of their accepting
places which the strikers have vacated, con-
verts them into moral, social and economi-
cal lepers." 1t will be good while, we are
inclined to think, before the Knights of La
Dor will induce the public to accept their def
inition of q 'scab.'

Editor and ex-Congressman Pulitzer has
lust sailed for Europe, to escape, for a time,
the cares of running Democratic daily, and
to regain the strength lost in his short but
eventful Congressional career. Before going
he entrusted the duty of explaining that
$1,000 check affair to his Republican neigh
Dor, the Mail and Express. That paper thus
tells how the check was found in the Re-
publican campaign fund: "About the time
the campaign opened the World was nego-
tiating for new press from R. Hoe & Co., to
be paid for in weekly installments of $1,000
In payment of one of these installments Mr..
Pulitzer presented and had accepted the
check in question. The same day several
members of the Republican National Com
mite called upon Mr.. Hoe for subscription
to the campaign fund Mr.. Hoe, who has al
ways contributed literally to the cause, said
he was just in receipt of a check for $1,000,
which he would be glad to tender them. .
That check was Mr. Pulitzer's. Editor
Dana, who of late has taken a deep in
terest in the matter, denies this story, and
the good work of fighting still goes on-only

The stories are amusing, and show that Mr..
Curtis was as enterprising and energetic
when boy as he has been since arriving at
mans estate. There are some errors of ge-
ography in his narrative. For instance, we
are told that Fort Preble is at the extreme
end of Cape Elizabeth. The story, too, he
tells about some newsboys stopping the press

We are not disposed to quarrel with the
Argus as to whether a permanent board OF
arbitration such as the President suggests,
or boards chosen as occasion for them arises
will prove the better plan. If arbitration
can be made popular and brought into gener-
al use we care little about the method. 1t
seemed to us, and we have yet seen no rea-
son to change our opinion, that the decision
of board selected by the parties to the dis
pute would be more likely to be acquiesced
in than the decision of permanent board.
But experience may show that permanent
board is better, all things considered.

will not be necessary for the general public
to give much attention to plumbing, mas
much as the matter will be put in the charge
of competent men, but until it does come the
only safe way is every for householder to
inform himself upon the vital principles at
least of house plumbing, and see for himself
that they are faithfully observed.
The Portland daily press., 1886-04-29

The paper on sewerage and plumbing, by
Mr.. E. G. Jordan, published elsewhere ought
to receive attentive consideration. 1t is a
plain statement Of some of the fundamental
principles of house plumbing, which anybody
can understand whether he has had any previ-
GUS knowledge on the subject or not The sub
ject is one that has not yet received the atten-
tion itdeserves, notwithstanding the fact that
no theme has been more written about of late
years. If sanitary engineer should inspect
our Portland houses, even the best of them,
there is little doubt that he would pronounce
the great majority of them imperfectly
plumbed, and liable to be contaminated with
poisonous gases from the sewers The chief
cause Of this state Of things is ignorance. The
number of plumbers who thoroughly under
stand even the fundamental principles of
their science we suspect is very small. The
most of them probably do the best they know
how, but that best, judged in the light of re-
cent researches, is frequently very bad in
deed. Some of the trouble no doubt,
results from the desire of builders to con-
struct their buildings as cheaply as possible
Good plumbing costs more than bad, and so
long as large portion Of the public do not
know the difference or do not care if only
the liquids drain out of their houses and
there are no positively offensive smells about
them, there will be builders who will turn
this ignorance or unconcern to their own
advantage. 1t is possible with very little
study for any man of ordinary intelligence
to judge whether the house he lives in is
properly plumbed or not. But he cannot rely
entlrely on his nose. A house may be very
imperfectly plumbed and still not contain
any offensive odors. The most poisonous of
sewer gases are odorless. His eyes will give
him much more correct information. If a
soil pipe terminates inside his house. no
matter how well trapped it may be, he can
conclude that the plumbing has not been
properly done, and he can be pretty sure
that at times sewer gas will find its way into
the house. In many of the large cities of
the country plumbing is now officially in
spected The only reason that it is not in
Portland is that public opinion has not been
sufficiently aroused on the subject The
time will come, no doubt, when our city
fathers will consider 1t just as important
to guard against the erection of houses which
by reason of their defective drainage endan-
ger the health of their inmates and that Of
the neighborhood, as to guard against the
erection of tinder boxes in populous dis
tricts. When that time comes perhaps it

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS-A
SANITARIUM.

The Hawaiian Islands are, during
the course of the year, visited by
numbers of persons from California
and the surrounding States, with
view to "take in" the archipelago
that they call the Sandwich Islands.
Visits of this nature are for pleas
ure, but we also have visitors from
the Eastern, Middle, and Western
States, who come to this paradise
of the Pacific in search OF health.
Old and young alike know full well
the balmy and soothing nature Of
the Island atmosphere, second to
none in the world. The ozone in the
suburbs of Honolulu is inhaled with
a freshness that reyiyes the weak
and sickly, while the strong and
healthy derive an invigorating and
strengthening tonic therefrom. In
fact, Honolulu is sanitarium for the
Western Hemisphere, as Madeira is
for the Old World, or Eastern Henri
sphere. For pulmonary affections,
the climate cannot be surpassed,
but while it possesses all the advan-
tages above stated, and while its
praises cannot be too loudly sung,
there exist reasons why certain

here. The confirmed and pronounced

hope of recovery, cannot expect to
be cured by q flying visit to the
Islands. Those afflicted with throat
or lung diseases, may have their
troubles alleviated, or their lives
prolonged, and may in many cases,
be restored to perfect health, but
those who are in an advanced stage
Of consumption, would probably
be better off by remaining at
their respective homes, where they
would receive the kindly attentions
of dear mother or a loving sister,
than risking the sea voyage and
landing on the wharf with but few
dollars in their pockets, unknown,
uncared for, and probably without
any letter of introduction to good
society, the young man naturally
feels lonesome, deserted, and de-
jected. At times Christian friend
will take such one by the hand,
and listen to his pitiful tale, and
being impressed with the earnestness
of the visitors story, this Christian
friend will take the stranger by the
hand and lead him to the Y. M. G. A.
Secretary Fuller is always ready to
hear the sad tale repeated. He
promises aid to him who is unfit to
work, and through his representa-
tions to the Ladies' Strangers Aid
Society and other Benevolent Asso-
Citations the invalid is well cared for.
His first and best home in this city
is found in the Queens Hospital.
He there drags on wearying exist
ence, sometimes failing and some
times convalescing. His last dollar
is gone and he lives on pure charity,
the virtue which ranks first and
highest among the many of Christian
virtues. The winter season sets in,
and he (the invalid) breads return
ing to his home. 1t is too late.
The cold weather of Montana, Vir-
ginia City, Chicago, New York, Bos-
ton and the higher latitudes would
kill him. And thus he becomes a
burden to himself, tax on the
charity of strangers, and ultimately
dies far away from those near and
dear to him by the ties of relation
ship, who are best able to comfort
and soothe him in his declining and
dying hours. All such invalids, in
a far-gone, hopeless condition. would
do better to stay at home and bear
the ills they there have, than come
here to those they know nothing of.

A BRIEF HoM,LY ON UNION.

How much better would the con-
dition of this country be if there
was more unity of purpose and ef-
fort in the direction of improve
ment. Union is strength; dissen-
sion is weakness. Union is not
distinguishing feature of the Ha-
waiian community, dissension is.
Exact agreement among the people
of any community is too much to ex-
pect, and to look for it in n mixed
population like ours is quite out OF
the question. The world has not
reached that stage yet, and there is
no prospect of its doing so in the
near future. If all men were thought
full and reasonable it would not be
hard to secure closer agreement
than now exists. Our community is
peculiar in being made up of many
nationalities, races, and peoples Of
different languages. 1t is natural
enough, under the circumstances,
that there should be divisions into
parties and sections. But this
should not constitute ground for
discussion and antagonism. The
whole people-the native OF the soil
and the foreigner who has made the
country his home-have common
interest. Good laws efficiently ad-
ministered, and the public revenue
wisely and economically expended,
are for the good of all. There
should be no wide divergence of
opinion among intelligent men as to
what constitutes, in the main, good
laws, efficient administration, and
wise expenditure. Here then is
ground for general agreement. A
disposition on the part of the COM
munity to union on this broad basis
is not very apparent. Proneness to
give persons the precedence OF
principles, and to favor or oppose
men rather than measures is more
conspicuous. This is not creditable
to our intelligence, and until there
is a change in this particular We
shall hope in vain for any marked
improvement in the general manage.
ment of the country.
