STEAMERS THAT PASS Us.

The manner in which the cap
tains of the through steamers are
treating the people of this country
has reached a point where it il
about time for righteous indigna
ton to assert itself and find out
where we stand. For a seconc
time one of the through steamers
has passed this port without taking
the mails and Hawaii is practically
shut up in a box for another
month. We are aware that every
captain has orders to fight shy O
infected ports, and that they are in
duty bound to take proper care 0.
passengers and the property of the
company, but at the same time il
must be admitted that even the
people of an infected port are
worthy of some consideration.
No fault can be found with a re
fusal to take freight or passengers
but failure to take mails, thereby
completely cutting off communica.
ton with the outside world, is
quite another thing. There may
be danger in carrying fumigated
mails from an infected port, but
certain it is that it is not matter
of sufficient gravity to be given
attention in the United States
quarantine regulations. Whatever
company or quarantine regulations
may be, no captain, company or
country has moral right to turn
away from another captain, COM
pany or country when it is possible
that their assistance may be of vital
Importance. Nothing serious re.
suited from the passing of the Mon
oval and we trust the same may be
true of the Alameda but the good
fortune of the past is no guarantee
for the future. 1t was the inten-
ton of the Government to send
orders by the Alameda for fumigat.
ing apparatus of which the city is
sadly in need. This order is now
delayed for fully two weeks and
possibly longer. If there is no re-
lief from this turning aside of COM
mon carriers, it will pay the coun-
try to send some of the island
steamers to San Francisco.

CAPTAIN MAHAN, who tells of his
experience in modern naval war
fare in the August number of the
Century, says that Farragut's opin-
ion that "the best defence against
the enemy is well directed fire
from your own guns" is vindicated.
Offence is more important than de-
fence, and the most effective form
of offence is against the crew and
not the ship. The ship may be
hurt by heavy guns but the crew
suffers more from the small rapid
firing guns. "The rapid firing gun
of moderate calibre has just now
fairly established its position as the
greatest offensive power in naval
warfare" Captain Mahan is so
thoroughly convinced of the effec-
tiveness of rapid firing that be is
inclined to approve of the risk TAX
en- in keeping a supply of loose
ammunition on deck near the guns.
The Yalu battle was considered
drawn. Summed up broadly, it
presents the successful resistance
of two ships, armored, with joint
displacement of $4,000 tons, to five
ships, partly protected, of $4,000
tons. This agrees with the general
teachings of warfare, that force
concentrated under one command
is more efficient than that dissem-
mated among several. What en-
abled the japanese to draw the
fight was their forty-fve quick-fir-
ing guns in opposition to the slow
fire of eight 12inch guns. Re-
garding the question between heavy
armor and heavy guns, the Yalu
fight declares for armor. Com
mander McGiffin says that the Chi.
nese ironclads were struck by doz-
ems of armor-piercing projectiles
from the 13-inch Canet guns of the
japanese and from the 10-inch
Armstrong guns, but not a single
shot penetrated more than four
inches.

Law SET AT NAUGHT.

On Tuesday evening this COM
munity was treated to an example
of border-life barbarity, which, al
though treated in more or less
humorous manner in the town Cos
sip, can be regarded as nothing
more or less than an indecent blot
on the good name of the city, to
say nothing of the laws of the land
1t makes no difference how extern
uating the circumstances may have
been or now richly the members OF
the self-appointed vigilance COM
mittee may have considered their
victim deserved punishment, there
is absolutely no argument that can
be brought forward that will save
the men implicated in this tar and
feathering party from the odium of
cowardice and an utter lack of
those qualities which 60 to make
upa respected citizen.
If this city las come to point
where personal or public wrongs
are to be redressed by vigilance
committees and white cap parties,
it is time the people began TO look
about themselves and adopt vigor-
GUS treatment for some of the indi-
viduals within our borders. The
whole affair smacks Of the semi.
civilization in districts where law
and order is theoretical general
ity-a good thing to talk about but
seldom brought into practice. If a
person makes himself obnoxious to
the public or any select class of in
dividuals, the ways and means for
bringing him to account are amply
sufficient without going back to the
heathenish and cowardly methods
of border ruffians. The law must
be respected at any cost and in the
present instance the only thing left
for the authorities to do is to ferret
out the perpetrators of the deed
and bring the law to bear in such a
manner that this outrage which is
among the first of its kind, shall
without question be the last.

FEED FROM PORTLAND.
Direct Communication Desired With
the Hawaiian Islands.

Considerable quantities of barley,
bran, oats and hay are being
shipped from Portland to the Ha'
waiian Islands, where there is an
extensive market for such articles,
which has been chiefly supplied
from San Francisco. A great num-
Der of animals are used on the sugar
plantations. For instance, one
sugar grower works several hun
bred mules and raises no feed for
them, as it pays him better to raise
sugar cane and buy feed. Oats are
very cheap in this market now, 20
cents per bushel being about the
average price, but some sell for
less, and good, clean heavy white
oats bring as high as Is cents for
shipment. Owing to the Atm ore
not touching at Honolulu, lot of
hay and similar stuff has been
shipped by the Signal to Vancouv-
er, B. c., to be forwarded to Homo
lulu by the Australian steamer.
Some 600 tons of hay alone have
been shipped from here to the isl-
ands during the past month. Cali
fornia once had no timothy hay TO
speak of, but now considerable
quantities find their way to San
Francisco from the Northern coun-
ties. 1t is not so good for shipping
as the Oregon hay. Being so dry,
the same weight cannot be COM
pressed into so small a bulk, and
the freight will cost more per ton.
Portland is sadly in need of COM
munication with the Hawaiian ISL
ands. There is a market for hay
and grain for feed there which
could be better supplied from Ore
gon than anywhere else.-Portland
Oregonian.

WITHOUT exception, the most
idiotic thing that has appeared in
print during the last few weeks is
the request from a collection of in
dividuals, apparently lacking in
gray brain fibre, for the members of
the Board of Health to resign. The
Board has the confidence of the
community, Notwithstanding a diff
ference of opinion may have been
expressed at some Of the meetings
even doctors disagree. Swapping
horses in the middle of the stream
would be good common sense COM
pared with such a move.

BUDD FEARS CHOLERA.
May Reach California Through Mex
ico-Letter of Stats Board.

STOCKTON, Sept. 2. = Governor
Budd was worried today on account
of the scare occasioned by the re-
port of the cholera epidemic iu
Hawaii. The emergency fund
which the Governor alone can call
into use when there is fear OF an
epidemic, will be used to defray
the expenses of a special meeting
of the State Board of Health, which
the Governor has authorized DR..
Ruggles to call in his name.
The Chief Executive told his
physician this morning that he
was not worried about the posi-
bility of the disease coming into
the State through San Francisco,
for at that point is to be found a
complete quarantine service, but
he does fear that the scourge, if it
is severe in Honolulu, will find its
way into California through Mex
leo, where it is said the most lax
quarantine laws are in force.
MEETING OF STATE BOARD.
At recent special meeting of
the California State Board of Health
held to determine what course to
take regarding the possibility of a
scourge of Asiatic cholera, the Sec
rotary was instructed to send the
following letter to U. S. Surgeon
General Wyman at Washington,
D. c.:
~ am directed by the California
State Board of Health to communi-
eate.to you that it is currently reported
that Asiatic cholera prevails in sew
eral Oriental ports having steam COM
munication with United States Pacific
ports, and that it prevails also at Ho-
nolulu, in the Hawaiian Islands, a
foothold having been recently obtain.
ed in that port through passenger
travel by steamer from China and
Japan.
"Should this general and unofficial
information be corroborated by con-
sular reports, it is deemed advisable
that the government should declare
such Oriental and island ports infect
ed, and proceed to establish such quar-
antine against them as shall insure
compliance with the quarantine laws
and regulations of the United Staies."

EVERY sympathizer with the
Yankee yachtsmen will join in the
Jubilee over the success of the De.
fender, yet there is an undoubted
popular feeling that the victory
would have been more satisfactory
had the second race been won by a
clear show of heels rather than on
technicalities of racing rules. The
English will probably feel dissatis-
fed and a good many Americans
will share their dissatisfaction.
The fact that the cup still remains
on this side of the Atlantic will
however cover a multitude OF sins
in the American mind.

The fears that the sensational
papers of the United States would
exaggerate the meagre reports car
ried by the Monowai were forum.
ately unfounded, for all of which
the people of this country will be
duly grateful. If the later reports
sent out by the Australia are
handled in an equally sensible
manner, the injury done the coun-
try abroad will not reach the
monumental figures that have been
pictured in the public mind.
If all reports can be kept
within the limits of strict truth
there is very good reason to believe
that the people abroad will con-
tinue to hold a very fair opinion
of us.

THE city council of New Orleans
recently adopted plans and voted
100000 for the construction of a
new and complete system of sew
erage. 1t will probably take four
or five years to complete the work,
but within a year or two a good
portion of the dangerous features
of the present system will be done
away with. The city has evident
ly been counting disease long
enough and is now ready to pay a
handsome price to secure greater
immunity from epidemics result
ing from poor sanitation. A penny
saved is by no means penny
earned when the money is with
held from improvements in sani-
tary conditions.

freight and passenger traffic secure
greater immunity from infection.
At the present writing, residents of
North and South Kona seem to be

other districts to make notes from

their hats.

TWENTIETH CENTURY WOMEN.

Lady Somerset forecasts a re.
markably bright future for the
women of the twentieth century
and feels assured that they will
win their highest laurels in the
realms of government. She fur.
ther states that during the coming
century some of the most eminent
lights in statecraft and diplomacy
will arise from what is now known
as the weaker sex. The picture
she portrays is withal a most happy
one Notwithstanding it has a strong
theoretical tinge. There are plenty
of second-rate statesmen whose
places might be filled by some of
the level-headed women even of the
present day, but it is quite as prob
aole that the general run of TWEEN
tieth century women will be salts
fed with the position of those of
the nineteenth century, of welding
the power behind the throne with
out entering into the rush and
brawl of active politics.
The New York Tribune touches
upon many of the truths of woman's
possibilities when it says: ".The
best thing to be hoped for is that
as the years advance woman will
have increased opportunities of
doing all the good work that it lies
in her to do, unfettered by any
social or conventional restraints !;
and this freedom is broadening
around her day by day. She is not
really fenced out of any field of
effort proper to her. She is already
free to sit and speak and vote in
some Legislatures, and sometimes
does SO, but SO far has hardly justi-
fed Lady Somerset's high expecta-
tions of her. fine may expand
her capabilities, but she is likely to
do in the twentieth century much
as she did in the nineteenth-that
is, rear the generations and nurture
and Instruct them. That is the
main work appointed to her by
time and destiny; highly attrac-
tive one to most of her sex, which
they are not likely to intermit in
favor of more ambitious forms of
effort. Those inclined to choose
the latter should and will have
free field, and much favor; but if
they should at last end out that it
is best to leave to men some of the
heavier burdens in public as in pri-
vate life, it would show that they
had reached q plane of wisdom not
always illustrated in these pro-
pheeies of ether fsrthgivings."
