TIE SEWAGE QUESTION.

We must thank the author Of
the Sewage Question for publish
ing his views on the sanitary need
of this city. What he says is cor
rect, bu, We doubt the expediency
OF his remedy. The earth closet"
is a good one, but experience shows
that as 8 rule it requires constant
attention, and soon falls into dis
use. No system of living is prac-
ticable which is above the level Of
the people. One can't make ssv.
ages wear clothes without forcing
them TO do so.
The earth closet system may be
made of great value, and more
than self-supporting, if properly
tried. Let the Government select
$ small, crowded district in the
city, construct the proper vaults,
say fifty of them, and then put
them in charge Of practical scien-
list to control and manage.
At first j. would be charge on the
city, but SIS experience and skill
wss acquired, and better methods
adopted, the process would De
gradually chespened and made to
yield s. small profit. Here, then,
If no white men cared to undertake
it, some Of the Chinese or Japan
csc would do so in order to supply
the increasing need Of fertilizers.
After that the system could be ex-
tended to sll parts Of the city. The
experiment need not be au expeu-
sive one. The great advantage
which We have here is that we
hsve large population which will
take comparatively low wsges.
Our danger in sdopting new
sanitary methods is that engineers
snd experts will make experiments
on 8 large and costly scale.
1t is the fate Of most communities
that they never do their thinking
until crisis comes, and then hasty
thinking and unwise action follows.

CHEAP LABOR.

1t is well known that some of

levers in the proposition that

labor" and that no attention should
be paid to those wild erratics, the
Labor Commissioners, who dare to
intimate that brains have much
more to do with productive man.
ual labor than the experienced
planters will admit.
In a recent review of cane cult.
walton in the Straits Settlement,
where manual labor is much cheap
er than it is here, the Louisiana
Planter, usually regarded as an
able journal, says, regarding the
labor of that settlement and the
labor of Louisiana: "The notable
difference is that our work can be
done much more cheaply by means
ofour agricultural implements than
they can do theirs with the large
amount of hand labor that they are
compelled to employ" The Louis
lana planters pay 500 per cent.
more for labor than the planters of
the Settlement, and can compete
so far as labor is concerned, al
though the disadvantages of climate
may offset all this. American
wheat is now competing with Rus
sian wheat, raised with the aid of
labor which costs only 10 cents per
day.
The farmer says he can't COM
pete with Asistic labor st 10 cents
per day, while, at the same mo-
meut, he is competing with Rus
sian labor at the same price. Ma
chinery takes the place of labor in
wheat growing. So it will in many
other branches of labor.
Some of our planters may dis
cover that they have not a grip on
the subject yet and are quite too
much disposed to hold that they
know all about it," just as the
railroad managers have done about
electricity, until their dividends
hsve been cut into rather badly.

twill. be interesting to know on
what principle the effort to bring
about the release of the remaining
political prisoners, on Thanksgiving
day is based. The misguided ma.
tives and the youthful element Of
the January insurgents have been
given their freedom and now we
come down to those who did the
damning work among the natives
and were in fact directly RESPONSE
bic for the unfortunate action of
the ignorant individuals who were
not aware of the enormity of the
crime committed. No doubt the
Republic is just as safe with these
leaders out and about as it is with
them behind prison walls. But
was it fear for the safety of the Re-
public that brought about their
sentence to prison? This is not
the impression gained from the
minutes of the military commits
sion. lift is true that the commits
sion was called to sentence these
men to prison for few days, until
the Republic got an opportunity to
look around and see how it stood,
the best thing that can be done is
to release all political prisoners as
soon as possible, admit that we
were frightened, and make the best
of it. If, as we believe, there was
principle involved, then let US ad-
here to the principle.

TIE Tokyo Chamber of Com
merce has recently addressed a
memorial to the Imperial govern
ment regarding the development of
the mercantile msrine. They rec
ommend, among other things, the
establishment of an American line
OF large steamers, capabls Of being
converted into cruisers in time Of
war. Several Of the Japanese
steamship companies, says the
Japan Mail, are also considering
the subject of transportation lines
to the States. Japan is deficient in
iron ores, but has an abundance Of
cheap coal II il believed that
iron ore Of the best quality can be
obtsined On the North and South
American coasts, and it may be
cheaply carried to the coal supplies
of Japan. The active minds Of the
Japanese see the supreme necessity
of commanding cheap iron, in their
rivalry with the Occidental world,
and they will get it, il it can Be
had.

EDUCATION on A BROADER BASIS.

A practical educational lesson is
drawn by the editor Of the Progress
sive Educator from the "dastardly
snd idotic libel committed in Homo
lulu lately in the form Of a written
poster" Mr.. Townsend sees no
occasion for surprise that a man
with the ability to read snd write
should be "kusve and fool enough
to do such thing" How long,"
he asks, will it take for the world
10 find out that ability TO read and
write is not educstiOn-is no part
of education ? At best, ability to
read is but means Of education,
snd in q large percentage Of cases
this means is not applied so as to
realize It's proper end. Is is de-
cidedly possible for man without
such ability to be better educated
than another who has it. Educa-
ton is the perfecting Of character.
Ability to read may serve this end,
or it may not do so. All depends
upon what a man reads, and how,
and when" He also points out
that the fundamental error of our
old schools was in making read
ing, writing snd arithmetic the
center of all school work. To
concentrate upon Language is to
concentrate upon means OF edu-
cation rather than a part OF educa-
ton"
While the guardian spirits that
presided over the " little red school
house" did their work we'll and
were necessary factor in the de-
vslopment OF the broader ideas OF
what education really is, the people
Of the present generation have
come to know that in many in
stances, the theory and practice OF
the old school of education resulted
in giving a man just enough edu-
cation to make him dangerous. 1t
was not unlike putting rife in
the hands OF a child and letting
him exercise his own ingenuity as
to how, when and where he shall use
it. Fortunately the mistakes of the
past have been recognized and
there is q strong and almost uni
versal movement to teach in earli-
est childhood the principles that
will lead to the proper application
of the book learning however
meagre it may be, that may be
gained in later years.

THOSE YOKOHAMA NAILS.

The failure of the China to bring
mails from Yokohama has led the
japanese citizens to make a big
rumpus over a very small matter,
and one that cannot be remedied
by any amount of Legislation and
declaration on the part of the Ha-
waiian Government. So long as
the Oriental steamship companies
are not under contract to carry
mails to and from this country the
people are subject to the will Of the
company, or, as was the case with
the Oceanic and Canadian steam
ship companies, of the captain Of
the steamer. 1t would be quite as
sensible for the people of Honolulu
to perate the Government for the
action OF the captains of the Ala
media, Monowai, MioEera and War
rimoo. Steamship agents, the peo-
pie and the Hawaiian Government
are practically at the mercy Of the
captain, who acts on strict instruc-
tons given by the officials at the
headquarters Of the company. If
steamship companies prefer to carry
freight to San Francisco or finally
refuse to take it from Oriental
ports at all rather than undergo
quarantine at this port, it is a mat
ter which this Government cannot
well rectify so long as cholera con-
tinues its present ravages in the
East. In the matter of mails, the
Japanese have Jared far better than
the msjority Of the population.
The " foreigners" have had the
pleasure OF watching no less than
four steamers pass this port with
out taking mails. The only redress
is to tell the captain how unjust
We consider his action, and hope
for better luck next time. Japan
csc citizens ought to recognize that
quarantine regulations which re-
suit in delaying goods, and there
by cut of q Eource Of Govern
ment revenue, are not imposed for
the fun Of the thing. Following
out the arguments submitted to
prove discrimination against the
Japanese merchants, it might also
be said that the Government
placed restrictions on freight going
to the other islands in order to in
iure the merchants Of Honolulu.
When the Japanese have stopped
to think twice, they must neces-
sarily come to the conclusion that
they have suffered from circum-
stances over which governments
have no control-until the cholera

OUR FRIEND CoxMoyER.

OUR friend "Commoner," in up

States Of Colombis and Spain. He
might 90 still further and tell of
the committees in western towns
in the United States who stopped
immigrants who had been released
from quarantine in New York and
turned them out on the prairies.
The fact that nearly, if not all,
the passenger vessels plying be-
tween European and United States
ports" carry immigrants is just
what makes the position Of Com

tensble. Kauai was given the op-
portunity to accept one lot of i'm
migrants that had undergone more
than Z twenty days quarantine.
With this exception, immigrant
passengers have been kept strictly
swsy from Kauai and every other
island. That cabin passengers
from Honolulu were allowed to

dergoing even the rigorous FIVE
days quarantine Is pretty good

tslic and their conversation chsr-
