IMPROVING QUARANTINE.
Alterations and Reforms in Progress
Isolation Made Less RePugnant than
Before.

| Alterations and Reforms in Progress
Isolation Made Less Repugnant than
Before.
Considerable alterations and repairs
have been initiated at the Quarantine
Station across the bay. Although every
body may desire that, however hospi-
table the quarters may be made, they
may yet long have to waste their sweet
ness on the desert air, still the Board of
Health has realized that the time for
making comfortable incoming passengers
unfortunately subjected to quarantine is
not when the emergency is present, but
now when there is no threatened occa
sion for guarding our gates against the
introduction of pestilence.
The main building for the accommo-
dation of regular passengers is being
moved further inland on the island, to a
knoll by the side of the main road where
it will have better exposure to health
giving breezes. It will also be away
from the immigrant barracks and what
ever distasteful associations or concomi-
tants may attach thereto. All the build
ings unconnected with the immigration
service are to be arranged in some kind
of regular order along the road. Among
others the smallpox hospital used when
only a few infected cases are in hand
will be given a better location than at
present.
Besides change of location the main
quarantine hospital is to be thor
Oughly rehabilitated, the conditions
aimed at being not far below those of
quite a respectable hotel. Instead of
three large apartments as now, the whole
building-in dimensions over a hun
dred feet by about tWenty-fO feet-Will
be subdivided into chambers OF eight |
feet by twelve feet, opening out to YER
andas running the whole length on the |
sides. In the center a commodious din |
ing room will be situated. A new roof |
OF corrugated iron will be put on the
building. All sanitary requisites will be
made as perfect as possible. Improve |
ments that may be required to the immi-
grafton quarantine will not be overlooked |
in the work of renovation.

WHY Is it that servants are so unsatis-
factory here? We all know that in the
States and in England the question OF
servants has risen from one of the minor
ills into one of the carking cares of life.
That every hOusekeeper rises in the
morning in fear and trembling of her
"helps" and goes to bed thankful if she
has got through the day without seri-
ously offending Bridget the XVIth or
whatever her number may be. But we
also understand the causes that have
been at work in both those countries to
complicate the "help' question, and how
ever much we mGy deplore the condi-
ton OF affairs, however much we may
sympathize with "missus," or however
we may stand in awe of the MANY num-
bered Bridgets, We are not lost in mazy
speculatiOns, we know wherefore these
things are.
But we don't see why things are as they
are here. Our servants are almost en-
tirely drawn from the Chinese, and any
one who has been to China will confirm
the statement that the Chinese make
excellent servants. In British India
Chinese are liked as servants. In Van
cOuver's Island and British Columbia
they answer very we'll. In all these
places Chinese as servants do from three
to four times as much work for less
money than we pay here. The why and
the wherefore is difficult to point out. In
the past the population must have begun |
badly with their servants. In fact il |
looks very much as if our early pioneers |
did not understand the management of |
servants, never having had any to man
age, and they have handed down a
number OF conventional customs and
habits among Chinese servants which it
is now impossible to break through.
However, it is easy to blame our fore
bears, especially as they are not here to
defend themselves. We ought to see
whether we can't better the condition of
affairs ourselves.
There is no doubt that the servants
we employ are in a majority of cases too
highly paid. They would not be if they
were thoroughly trained and did full
days work in return for very good pay.
But they are not trained, they are in
majority of cases as green as the grass of
the Emerald Isle, as ignorant of the
needs Of civilized life as the Solomon
Islanders, and they work just about six
hours day and even think that an inn
position. Now we would like the views

OUR friend and correspondent JnO. NJ.
Horner has the courage of his cOnvic-
tions, which is something we like to see
in every man. We can also respect the
motives of the seven who voted the Pro
hibition ticket at our recent informal
election, however little confidence We
may have in their wisdom. Our own
convictions are quite different from
theirs. In our view of the matter this
whole Third Party movement in the
name of prohibition is delusion and a
blunder, dividing and alternating those
who ought to be united, magnifying a
particular method at the expense of the
end to be attained, repeatedly causing
the election of saloon candidates and
men of VIGOROUSLY bad record, over
gentlemen of unimpeachable character
and pronounced temperance principles,
and, while unable to secure its own ends
in it's own way, and through its own
organization, opposing every attempt to
obtain such other restrictive legislation
as experience on a large scale has shown
to be decidedly eficacious in restraining
drunkenness, and diminishing the sale
of Intoxicating drink. 1t will DC under

friends of the practicable and seekers
after the attainable, we have no SYM
pathy with such methods.
