RESTRICTION ON FISH.

Some provision to provide fish
particularly for the native popula-
ton, as suggested by Mr.. Colburn's
communication to the Board of
Health, is an important matter
which calls for the exercise of
careful judgment. While the for
eign population could do without
fish indefinitely, it is matter of no
small moment to the natives to
have this article of food placed on
the tabu list for a long period. So
far as We have been informed by
the medical authorities, the danger
from eating fish is confined only to
those taken from infected waters.
Fish taken from districts remote
from the harbor are supposed to be
as free from infection as fish
brought into the country from
any clean port in the United
States. The disposition of
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1895-10-04

ignorant people to evade health
regulations is decidedly against
raising the fish quarantine and re-
lying on the common sense of the
community. The Board of Health
must take prominent hand in the
fish business for some time to come
if the city is to be properly guard
ed. The majority of the people
want the natives to have their fish,
and at the same time they want to
know where the fish come from.
The only way out of the present
predicament seems 10 be for the
Board of Health to define the dis
tricts from which fish may be taken
and establish distributing points
which shall be under the watchful
eye of an agent of the Board. Thus
the kind and quality OF the hsh can
be controlled and the purchasers
secured against the danger of infec-
ton from this source. A careful
distribution of this article OF food
will undoubtedly result better than
continued restriction. Taking fish
from the native is a good deal like
taking bread and beef from the
foreigners table, and the craving
resulting from practical fish
famine will lead many TO overstep
bounds which under ordinary cir
cumstances would be recognized.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1895-10-04

to be forearmed in this matter. 1t
will be all of two months before the
proposed fumigating plant is in op-
GRAFTON and at present we are prac-
tically without means for fumigat-
ing merchandise, and should a
vessel arrive within a short time
there must necessarily be consider
able delay in preparing for the dis
infection. Merchants chafe under
such delays. Make ready the fumi-
eating station for merchandise, so
that incoming cargoes or goods
sent to the other islands can
be put through the processes
prescribed by the Board of Health
with the quickest possible despatch.
Business men are willing to adapt
themselves to circumstances and it
is proper that the circumstances
should be adapted to the business
men, by prompt action in forestal-
ling the possibility of unnecessary
DELAYS.

DR.. CYRUS Epson, formerly a
member of the New York Health
Commission, in an interesting arti-
Gle on the curious diseases of mod
ern life tells of an actor who be-
came bewitched by a flower. About
midnight after a performance, the
man usually phlegmatic and calm,
would become unusually laxative,
demonstrative and full of enthu.
siasm. Peculiar symptoms devel-
oped which baffled the physicians.
Some said that the covering of the
brain was inhamed, others that
the man was under the influence
of a powerful poison. The mys-
terry was solved when it was dis
covered that two weeks previous
the actor attended the unfolding of
a night-blooming cereus at Wash
ington, D. G. He cut one of the
blossoms from the stem and in SO
doing cut his thumb in such a way
as to become innoculated with the
juice of the plant, which is very
powerful and often distilled and
used as a homeopathic medicine.
He also preserved the flower in
alcohol keeping it near his bed,
thus inhaling the slight vapor and
emphasizing the influence of the
drug. DR.. Edison states that one
or two cases are on record of per-
sons having purposely placed
themselves under the stimulus of
the drug for the influence on the
brain, and, while under its infu-
ence, have dictated weird poetry
and extravagant romance. 1t now
becomes live question whether or
no some of the writer's of the
opposition press" have not visited
the Punahou hedge before turning
their pens to a discussion of the
Board of Health.

ESTABLISH Fish COOKING" PLANTS

In considering the fish question,
it has been stated that dealing out
raw fish to the natives, even under
the direction of the Board of
Health, would not eliminate the
danger consequent TO eating raw
fish. "We must have the fish
cooked" This barrier can be
easily removed by the Board of
Health seeing to it that the fish are
cooked. The Government is now
under quite an expense in furnish
ing many natives with food. The
same money might better be ex-'
pended in establishing cooking
plants" carried on under the direc-
ton of the Board. Natives now
idle and supported at public ex-
pense could be employed in clean
ing and cooking the fish in
the manner suited to the
customs of the Hawaiians.
Let the fishermen deliver their
catch at the distributing stations,
where it will be taken in hand by
the Health agents, properly cleaned
and cooked, and either turned over
to the vendors or sold direct. Let
a nominal price be established, so
that the consumers will not have
to stand the expense of the product
being cooked. To raise the prices
to cover the extra expense would
only be another way of shutting
out the classes which these un-
usual methods are aimed to pro-
tect. It cannot be said to be
money making scheme from a
Government standpoint, except
that it is cheaper than the present
of supplying food, and will
give employment to those who are
idle on account of Hawaiian fish
being placed on the black list.

NOTWITHSTANDING the business
men of Honolulu have been tried
as by fire, they have kept cool and
shown their confidence in the abil'
ity of the country to overcome any
obstacles that may be placed in Its
way. The action Of Bishop d Co.
in importing at this time a large
sum of money and the healthy
activity Of the real estate market
combine to give the best possible
demonstration of the feeling of the
business community. The spirit OF
progression has come to stay.

TIE DOWNFALL OF CAPITAL. u

1t is said that Baron Alphonso de
Rothschild recently remarked that
ne did not believe that the reign OF
capital is destined to endure, be-
cause interest on money is declin-
ing SO rapidly. He said that in
another generation man who had
$4,000 income would be regarded
as rich.
Undoubtedly the value Of money
falls year by year. "Call loans"
that is, loans to be repaid whenever
called for, can now be obtained in
New York at one per cent. per an
mum. In London and Amsterdam
the rate is less. The great trust
companies are loaning money on
long periods at three and four per
cent. The incomes of great per-
sonal estates are also declining. No
doubt, on questionable securities,
the rates of interest will continue
high because the principal is in
jeopardy, AS competition increases
and the chance of making great
fortunes decrease, the incomes of
the rich will grow smaller. At the
same time, it is now well proved,
that the rate of wages in civilized
countries has increased from fifty
to one hundred per cent. within
thirty years.
If the prediction of Baron Roth
child comes true, the friction be-
tween capital and labor will end.
1t will pay better to be a workman
than a capitalist, and we may see
the day when the capitalists will
complain of the 'bloated aristocrat"
of workman. At the recent meet
ing of the American Association of
Science, at Springfield, Mass, Prof.
Kent read paper on the value OF
engineering. He said that "engi-
neering will contribute more large
ly than any ether cause to merge
capital and labor, by making la
borers themselves the capitalists"
It is the failure of the laborers to
study the slow evolution of the
great economic laws, that makes
them important, and involves them
in unfortunate contests with capital.
All the good things will not come
in a day. The suffering Of work
men, from low rates of wages and
the sufferings generally, of the
world, arise from ignorance. 1t is
the increasing knowledge OF the
laboring men, that reduces the i'm
portance of capital.

THE FREE KINDERGARTENS.

Among the various new develop
ments of educational work in this
city, not the least in Importance is
the system of free kindergartens,
which has recently been inaugur-
ated. 1t was last year carried on
as a department of the Woman's
Board of Missions, but the work
has lately been reorganized, and is
now taken in charge by the Free
kindergarten and Children's Aid
Association. This is a new organ
ization, independent of church
lines or national distinctions, and
has the support of a large constitu-
ency of ladies interested in this
benevolent work that appeals so
strongly to every woman's kindly
nature. The public meeting this
morning is for the election of off,
GERS and committees. Plans of
work for the coming year have
been so far perfected that it needs
only the hearty cooperation and
generous giving, SO characteristic
of this community, to make the
work a decided success from the
very start.

AVOID BUSINESS DELAYS.

The community is practically
unanimous in the decision that the
time has come for raising the abso-
lutte quarantine that has, and will
SO long as it continues, placed a
serious damper on inter-island
traffic. So long as occasional
cholera cases crop out it will
be hardly advisable to allow
free and unrestricted traffic, but it
is poor stroke of policy to con-
tinue the same restrictions that OBJ
tain during an epidemic. The
request of the business men is a
reasonable one and should be
granted as soon as possible. In
this connection it will be a wise
move to come to some decision re-
garding Oriental goods and make
preparations for dealing with them.
The Chinese and Japanese mer-
chants receive nearly all their sup
plies from Oriental ports. Steam
ship lines prefer to carry
good to San Francisco rather
than hold a through steamer
here for the term of quarantine,
but should vessel come from an
Oriental port and submit to the
quarantine, it cannot be refused
entry. Under the existing circum-
stances it is highly probable that
we thall soon have to deal with
such a vessel. Oriental goods
ought not to be accepted unless
fumigated previous to being land
ed. At the present time we have
little or no means for dealing with
these goods. 1t will save a deal of
trouble and perturbation Of mer-
chants spirits for the Government

w. R. CASTLE, our Minister at
Washington, moved towards the
diplomatic dead line, " if the news
paper interviews with him are cor
rectly stated. He should have re-
fused absolutely to discuss the past
relations of our Government With
that of Washington. No European
diplomatic would have felt it polite
to have alluded to the past. Mr..
Castle follows the American school
of diplomats, who are accustomed
to open discussion, without restric-
ton, and he has many worthy ex-
amples before him. But, under
the circumstances, it would be
wiser to maintain a reticent atti-

FRAUDS IN TAXATION.

| The Illinois Bureau Of Labor
Statistics made on the 23d ult., the
most sensational report ever made
by State bureau:
SIT charges that the great majority
of the wealthy taxpayers of Illinois,
and more especially of Chicago, are
prejudiced; that the Assessors are
guilty of malfeasance in Office; that
the present financial condition of Chi
cago is directly trsceable to the cor
rupt system of taxation, and that the
deplorable condition of work is due to
the liberty destroying methods of tax
alton which prevail in Illinois,"
Few people in the States are
aware of the gigantic frauds in
volving taxation which are con-
stantly done in the great cities.
The fixing of valuations of property
has become a part of the corrupt
political machinery. The Asses
sors virtually sell the figures at
which the assessments are fixed.
Rich men are, in some sense, at
the mercy Of these men. Much
property escapes assessment, so
that what is reached carries the
heaviest burden. When the rate
of taxation is equal to the annual
income Oh property, and in many
cases it is, the owner must pay
tribute to the assessor or be ruined.
No band of robbers could ever rob
with such impunity as the tax as
SCISSORS of the large cities.
Even the newspaper press is
muzzled so that it dare not speak
out. A great daily" may be taxed,
for instance, on a valuation of
$500,O0O. If it were to expose the
corruption of the assessors, they
would increase the valuation to
81 100000. The paper may be
paying its fair rate of taxation, al
though undervalued. 1t is a
money-making affair, and is reluc-
tant to engage in fight which may
result in a large pecuniary loss.
The assessors in a city like Chi
cago know that railroad men and
bankers do not make correct re-
turns, because such returns would
be unfair. So the bankers and rail-
road men, pay ''backsheesh,"
which helps to run the machines.
1t has been known to the politi-
cal reformers for some time that an
exposure was imminent. There
are two sides to the question, how
ever. The tax on property in New
York City is about two per cent. If,
then, correct valuation was made
of their estate, the Astors would be
without any income. 1t is quite
clear that a new system of taxa
ton must be established in order
to secure honest returns. No Ole
has yet been able to do it in the
majority of the great cities.

THE SITUATION IN HONOLULU.

The report of the condition Of
public health in Honolulu which
the Australia will take to the Coas,
TODAY is far more re-assuring to
our friends in the States than any
that has been sent out since the
cholera made its first appearance
in the city. The reports that have
thus far been distributed through
out the United States have had a
sensational tinge which, with the
manner in which mail steamers
have passed by the country, has
caused an exaggerated picture OF
the situation to be drawn in the
minds of officials as well as pri-
vate individuals.
The first cases of cholera in Ro-
nolulu were reported on the 18th OF
August, and from that date till the
18th of September there were IS
cases, of which go proved fatal.
There were no new cases reported
until the 9th of September, when
there was one, and on the 2Sth an
other, both of which proved fatal.
These make the total 81 cases and
60 deaths from this disease, which
has been confined almost wholly 10
the natives. By this it will be seen
that there has been only two deaths
from cholera since the 18th CT Sep
tember-a period of thirteen days.
The largest number of cases report
ed in one day was eight, on Sep
TENDER 9th. Thus it is shown
that the disease has been kept well
in hand and cannot now be termed
epidemic.
Immediately the character of the
disease was determined, most Wig
orous measures were adopted by the
Board of Health to prevent its
spread in the city and to
other portions Of the islands.
The residents of the city irrespec-
tive Of race or station came to the
assistance of the Board and the
whole community resolved itself
into a volunteer corps to stamp out
the disease. The city was divided
into districts and every house
within the city limits visited twice
each day by volunteer inspectors
whose duty it was to account to
the Board of Health for each per-
son in the districts assigned and
report any lack of care for the
sanitary condition of premises.
On Monday, September 23d, all the
business houses were closed and
house cleaning instituted
throughout the city under the di-
rection of agents of the Board of
Health.
Many of the poorer Hawaiians
being without means to obtain
proper food, the Hawaiian Relief
Association was organized and
within forty-eight hours over
$4,000 was raised by public |
subscription. Other nationalities
also formed similar organi-
cations. Distributing depots for
food were established
and every possible care taken to
assist the poorer classes in guard
ing against disease. The Board of |
Health by its prompt and vigorous
action has gained the confidence |
and esteem of the entire commun-
lty and hearty cooperation of all |
classes and conditions has been the |
rule. If the officials have erred, |
The mistakes have been on the safe |
side. The disease has not appear
I'd in any other port of the islands |
and has been confined to small dis.
riots in this city.
The present outlook is favorable |
% the speedy resumption of bust
ness and the raising of the quaran-
line.
