THE DUTY OF PROPERTY OWNERS AND
TAXPAYERS.

There has only been one opinion
expressed regarding the necessity for
preventing the rehabilitation of the Chi
nese quarter. The fire OF Sunday night
swept away all nuisances which the
Government had been powerless to deal
with heretofore The way is now
clear for intelligent and wholesome
action, and it is the duty of all good citi-
zens to unite in an endeavor to promote
this Public safety suggests this course.
If the Chinese quarter be built up as it
was before the late fire, life and property
throughout the city will be exposed to a
similar calamity, with the probability
that it may be much more disastrous
when it occurs than the last one. Ii a
strong wind had been blowing on Sun
day evening no human agency could
have saved the entire city from destruc-
ton. Heavy as the loss has been, it is
but tride to what it might have been
under less favorable conditions as to
weather and outside assistance in fight
ing the flames. And therefore we say
that the inhabitants of Honolulu should
not again tempt Providence in the hope
that their proverbial good luck may con-
tinue to favor them. 1t is their duty to
insist upon opening the fire block with
wide streets, and to provide for its proper
sanitation by drainage and adequate
water supply. Furthermore, no one
should be permitted to erect build
ings upon it until after the line OF
the streets, new and old, be permanently
determined. Then building may pro-
coed, subject to sanitary regulations
Unless this be done there will be
no guarantee against disastrous fires
or outbreaks of epidemic disease
1t is quite within the reach o
property owners and taxpayers gen
orally to protect themselves in this
matter, pending Legislative action. LIE
meeting of property owners and citi
zens generally be convened forthwith t.
consider this question and make sugges
tons to the Government, to be EN-
bodied in a law and carried into effect a
soon as possible. No more imperativ,
duty exists to-day. 1t is one which com
mon sense suggests as right and proper
it is, moreover, urged as a measure Q
precaution for security of life ant

MAP OF THE FIRE BLOCK.

A map of the burnt district has been
prepared by His Excellency Mr.. Gu
lick's order, with the projected
street lines upon it, and respon-
sible jury, appointed by the Chief
Justice, will view the ground and
report upon the plan of improve
ments to-day Their report will doubt
less be acted on without delay, and
should deter any one building upon the
old street lines when lawfully con-
demned, seeing that they would do so
at their own risk. There are many
other points to be considered in this con-
nection for,which the law makes no pro-
vision, and upon which the Administra-
ton should clearly know the mind OF
property-owners and taxpayers before
venturing to recommend comprehen-
sive scheme to the Legislature.

Bethel Union church society.

Last evening a special meeting OF the
members and congregation OF the Bethel
Union Church was held at the Y. NJ. G.
A. Hall, with large attendance. Com
nunications were read offering the use
of the Fort-street Church, Y. NJ. c. A.
Hall and Lyceum for the purpose OF hold
ing services. After long discussion it
was decided to accept the use OF the
Lyceum building, on Nuuanu street, and
services will be held there on next Sun
day. Letters were read from two gentle
men, each offering $500 towards build
ing a new church. 1t is expected that in
course of a short time subscription lists
will be taken round for that object.

ing in the committees report an accurate |
history of the most disastrous fire
that has ever happened in the King
dom, and0at the same time making
recommendations which may be invalu-
able in the future The King named
a committee of four citizens, with the
Minister of the Interior as Chairman,
His Majesty deeming it essential to the
success and thoroughness OF the investl-
CATION that prominent citizens should
participate in it. The gentlemen named
/ will command the confidence and res
! pect OF the community Tor their special
knowledge and high standing. The
committee of investigation consists Of:
His Excellency Mr.. Gulick, Chairman;
Messrs a. j. Cartwright. S. NJ. Damon,
c. E. Williams and c, o. Berger. These
gentlemen were to be communicated
with, and they will doubtless act upon
His Majesty's nomination. The wisdom
and propriety of this course will com
mend itself to all.
Following in the same line of policy,
it was felt by the Cabinet that the new
and unexpected conditions created by
the late fire were of such nature, and
of such magnitude, involving considera-
ton of National policy and as exceeding
the limits of ordinary departmental
= action, it was deemed advisable that
what was done to meet the exigency Of
the case should be recognized as joint
Governmental action. And in this view
it was deemed important that com
, mittee of the Cabinet should considerth
measures to be carried out, and to confer

Another Alarm orFIre.

Shortly after O'Clock yesterday alter
noon a fire alarm was rung It proved
to be for fire in a four-roomed dwelling
house in the Government yard, near the
Kapuaiwi building. The front part of
the house is occupied by Kamiki, the
Government Building ianitor, while the
room in the rear, where the fire took
place, is occupied by two young native
men. There was bureau and bed in
it. On the former was a bundle of
matches. Two young children were
asleep in one of the front rooms, when
they were suddenly awakened by
smoke which was filling the room. The
eldest OF the two ran out to his mother
and called out ''fire." Mr.. c. w Hart,
the Road Supervisor, and Mr.. J. Collins
were near by at the time and at once got
bucketfuls of water and fastened to the
room and put the fire out, though not
| before the interior had been badly
| burned Smoke was seen coming
/ through the roof and lot of shingles
| were torn off and water poured on. The
| furniture was all taken out. The fire
was confined to one room. Pacific Hose
Company and Engine Co. No. were
| quickly on the spot. The origin of the
fire was no doubt from the matches, as
the bureau ON which they stood was
badly burned.

Searching for IA BODY.

Shortly before noon yesterday China
man made his appearance at the Station
House and asked Deputy Marshal Day
ton for permission to dig among the
ruins at a certain spot on Maunakea
street, as he had reason to suspect the
body of an old crippled Chinaman would
be found there. Mr.. Dayton immediate
ly went with the man to the place, and
after making inquiries told the man to
90 ahead A number of men commenced
digging, but after several hours work
were unable to find any trace whatever

Begin Right.

AS the boy begins, so will the
man end. The lad who speaks with
affectation, and minces foreign
tongues that he does not understand,
at school, will be q weak chrome IN
character all his life; the boy who
cheats his teacher into thinking him
devout at chapel, will be the man who
will make religion trade and bring
Christianity into contempt; the boy
who wins the highest average by
stealing his examination papers, will
figure some day as tricky politician.
The lad who, whether rich or poor.
dull or clever, looks you straight in
the eyes and keeps his answers in
side of truth, already counts friends
who will last his life, and holds a
capital that brings surer interest
than money. Then get to the bottom
of things. You see already as to
that. It was tie student who was
grounded in the grammar who took
the prize; it was that slow steady
drudge who practiced firing every
day last winter, that begged the
most game in the mountain, it is the
clerk who studies the speciality ofthe
house in off hours, who was pro-
NOTED. Your brilliant. happy-go-
lucky. hit,or-miss fellow, usually turns
out the dead-weight Of the family by
forty FIVE. Don't take anything for
granted: get to the bottom things.
Neither be q sham yourself nor be
fooled by shams.
