SANITARY MEASURES.

The Board of Health is at work with
proper thoroughness upon measures of
local sanitation. A committee of its
members has been named to fix a site |
for a new government wash house and
to agree upon plan for the filling upl
of the noisome sink where the old one
stands, 1t is also debated whether or
not the removal of the Chinese theater
would be a measure of hyglenic value,
There are other matters of the same.
general sort before the Board, and if
action follows the course mapped out
and the suggestions made, the worst
part of Honolulu will become reason
ably clean.
1t is proper to say in view of the
news from the cholera SCourge, that
there is no time to lose. This place is
midway port between Asia, where the
cholera was born, and America to which
it is apparently bound. The plague is
likely to be on board of any visiting
ship. AT present the smells of the
Oriental quarter invite it, the dank
ooze Of filthy pools and dump grounds
offer its germs a spawning place, and
the novels of the squalid class are open
for its domicile. Unless before the
sultry and humid heats of midsummer
come upon US the odors are abated,
the filth removed the sinks disinfeCted
and the Chinese quarter cleaned, then
the danger will be imminent and the
catastrophe may not be averted
This is undoubtedly the opinion of
the Board Of Health, the diligence Of
whose inquiries and the efficacy of
whose plans may be commended. Prob
ably no encouragement is needed to
make that body do its best; but the
fact remains that it cannot do all which
may be required. Much remains to
private initiative There are houses,
stores and cottages in town where the
water from wash basins, etCetera, runs
under the ground floors-a cirCum-
stance which menaCes the health Of
every ledger and which demands the
remedy of Cesspools. There are sleep
ing and cooking rooms, particularly in
the Oriental quarter which are almost
miasmatiC, but which the Board may
readily overlook in its tours of inspeC-
ton or which may be occupied by
people who will not heed or comprehend
the advice or orders given them. In
such cases much could be done by the
Japanese and Chinese consular agents
by way Of assistance to the Board. We
have no doubt that the Orientals, once
they were urged to action by the men
in authority over them, would assist
largely in the labor which the health
officials now confront. Certainly, if the
Asiatics could be induced to cleanse
their yards and domiciles and keep
them clean their own and the City's
welfare would be greatly EXCHANGED.

10Th of August, 1882, in spite of the
protest of NJ. de Lesseps, and we very
much doubt whether its neutrality will
be respected in the event of a great
European war
Again, the naturalization of a canal
or strait is a very different thing from
the naturalization Of country, especial
ly of one in an unstable and revolu-
tionary condition. A much closer
parallel may be found in the immediate
neighborhood of that canal. Why
does not "X. Y. L." insist on the
naturalization " of Egypt There
were not wanting English mugwumps
in 1882, who wanted to "leave the
Egyptians to stew in their own juice, "
but fortunately for humanity, their coun.
sells did not prevail, and Egypt was
rescued from anarchy and barbaric rule.
Every reason that can be adduced in
defence of the English occupation of
Egypt applies still more strongly to
American intervention in these islands.
If England had houishing colony in
Egypt, which had created its civilization,
and which had developed the resources
and carried on the greater part of the
agriculture and business of the country
if nine tenths Of the Egyptian trade wa
with England, and if all the Christian
Powers Of Europe cheerfully acquiescec
in her annexation of Egypt, still thu
further argument from geographical
position would be wanting.

SOME OF THE NUISANCES.
A Correspondent Frees his Mind About
Local Drawbacks.

EDITOR STAR Our government
has not neglected Honolulu at any
rate, as witness the esplanade work SO
long passed over by previous govern
ments, the painting of the fire plugs
from black to white, set up by the au-
thorities few years ago in the middle of
the footpaths Of the principal streets as
stumbling blocks and standing menace
to all foot passengers, the endeavours
to keep the street in as good condition
as their nature will allow, etc. The
present government authorities deserve
much praise and under their regime
Honolulu'S citizens have no cause to
complain Of the agreeable change in
the management of their initial muniC-
ipality; yet perhaps l may be allowed
to mention one or two matters which
seem to require special attention. Let
any one proceed from Beretania street
along the left side of Nuuanu towards
the first bridge. The tootpath formed
of rotten wood in front Of old tumble
down shanties (surely owned from some
one) is disgrace to any civilized town,
although the law distinctly gives power
to compel these owners to form correct
and safe footpaths on the levels recent
ly made. The same does not appear
to have been enforced and matters
grow worse. There are many other
portions Of the streets in Honolulu
nearly as bad, all of which nuisanCes
owners of property regard with neglect
and Indifference to the injury of the
city. | would recommend our ener.
getic Minister of the Interior to put in
force the notice required and bring act
ion to compel rattle trap building own
ers to remedy this evil at once, so that
when annexation does take place the
great Nuuanu street thoroughfare will
be available for visitors from the East
to view with satisfaction and enjoy a
stroll along this delightful and pictur-
esque acquisition. Hurry up as there
is not much time.
Another evil is for the Board of Health
to remedy. | refer to those Japanese

WITH such an expert fire department
as now exists in Honolulu insurance
rates ought to be considerably lower
than they are. Possibly that fact will
become so patent to the Pacific Insur-
ance Union, a representative of which
is now in the city, as to bring about
the reduction that the circumstances
crave. At any rate there is reason to
hope so from the known results of Mr..
Conroy's inquiry.

When the hour Of 2 p. m. arrived the
attendance was so slim that it was nee
essary to issue a call of the house, and
the ergeant-at-arms after securing the
highways and byways reported ninety
members in their seats.

ceeded with. first on the list being H. f.

given it's third reading and passed by a

passed by vote Of So to ~.
The first snag of any moment was
struck in II. F. 15S, by Mr.. Howard.
This bill is intended 10 amend section
10, chapter g. of the General Statutes
Of 1878 in such manner as to invest in
the judges of the district court the
power to require the plaintiff in q
suit to furnish security for costs.
When the bill had been read, MIR.
Blocker lifted UP his penetrating voice
in vigorous protest, on the ground that
it would work great injustice to the
poorer class of people. Under its pro-
visions, he said, judge could entirely
prevent poor man from bringing suit
against favored corporation or friend,
and thus rob him of justice.
Mr.. Abbott, of Faribault, in his own
peculiar style, had few words to say
in this same strain.

from which he could get no redress. In
his own practice of law he had seen a
man put 10 an expense of $500 by one
from whom he could recover nothing.

another supporter of the bill, called at

been given to municipal and justice
courts, without detrimental results. A
