KaiuIani's Claim.

No one has yet explained salts
factorily what legal claim Princess
Kaiulani has to the throne of Ha-
wall. She is not of the blood royal
of the Kamehamehas, nor is she
even the daughter of the deposed
Queen Liliuokalani. The Queen
had named her as her successor, it
is true, but like many other person
ages she finds herself unable to de-
liver the goods. The Princess
claim or title certainly must fall
with that of the Queen, and her
title is rot worth talking of since
her deposition.-S. F. Chronicle.

BOARD OF HEALTH MATTERS.

The reorganization of the Board
of Health is already showing its
good effects in more complete
systemization of the work of the
Board. The different matters COM
ing under the supervision of the
Board have been classified and are
assigned to subcommittee. The
Committee on Leprosy is composed
of DR.. Miner and John Ena, that
on Quarantine and Contagious Dis
eases consists of DR.. Day and J. T.
Waterhouse, whilequestions of pub
lie health and sanitation will come
under the especial supervision of
DR.. Andrews and J. o. Carter.
Each committee, it will be observed,
includes one physician and one
layman.
1t is a trite observation that
everybody's business is nobody's
business. When seven men are CO.
responsible each can generally I'M
load an unpleasant responsibility
on the joint or several shoulders Of.
his colleagues. The tendency to
do SO is deeply rooted in this frail
human nature of ours, and the best
of men are hardly free from it. Its
operation is a familiar phenomenon
in American politics, particularly
in municipal government, where
boards of aldermen run riot, and in
New York City has led to the con-
centration of greater power, with
its consequent responsibility, in the
hands of the mayor. 1t is to be
hoped that the subdivision of work
among committees will not only |
tend to greater efficiency, but will |
also assist in fixing responsibility
here.
The Board, we are given to I'M
derstand, is devoting a good deal
of attention to the sanitary condi-
ton of the city, and it is to be
hoped that they will devise some
of improving it. Nothing
thoroughly effectual can be done,
however, until there is some sys-
tenn of sewerage. The practical
consideration of this problem can
not much longer be postponed.
There are quarters of the city, as
IN the blocks around Maunakea
street, which are in the foulest pos
3ible state. Many of the houses
ire not on the street at all, but are
cached by long narrow passages.
The best will in the world can
hardly achieve cleanliness and
health in these miserable slums.
They stand in need of thorough
cleaning out, and the cleaning out
would better precede the cholera,
md not wait until the dread dis
'ase takes up permanent resi-
Ience here.

that the street was ono of the best cross

endeavored TO burn down the building.
Tho police were out in force before they

mob OF anu extingulshed the flames. The
rioters tried to invade the Catholic quar-
ter. where the NatIonalists were celebrat-
ing the second reading of the home-Iuie
bill by burning tar barrels. A strong line
OF police held them back. A crowd of Ma
tIonalists gathered on tho other SIDE OF the

both sides with their Clubs and drive back
the two mobs by repeated charges.
