QUARANTINE.

We read from the volume entitled
Hawaiian Compiled Laws" page
"a, Section 295, as follows: "Any
vessel which shall refuse to submit
to quarantine, or which shall leave
the quarantine ground before the
expiration of the quarantine impos-
ed upon her, or which shall be the
means of clandestinely introducing
into this kingdom any contagious
disease, or any disease dangerous to
the public health, shall be liable to
seizure, confscation and sale, for
the bene6t of the public treasury"
If the S. s. Belgic has not clandes-
timely introduced cholera into this
port then the facts have been mis-
represented. 1t is due to Captain
Walker that on his next visit to this
port he should be given the oppor-
tunity to clear himself of this grave
charge.

II "rice, kerosene oil, medical sup
plies and few other items" could
be ia zen from the city and loaded
on the Claudiue for the other ISL
apds after being disinfected, why
couldn't other articles on the per-
mitted list7 Why must dealers who
have no cargo ex Aloha or ex Irwin
be forced to buy from those stocks?
Is this discrimination or is it really
true that "rice, Kerosene oil, medical
supplies and a few other items,"
which are not to be found on board
those two vessels, carry less danger
of contagion than goods from the
city which are to be found also on
those two vessels? We await an
explanation.

questions of hygiene are the
main issues of the day. While
the learned scientists of Europe
are devoting their time and
skill to find remedies which
can destroy the disease breeding
germs, the diseases go on and
cholera, diptheria and typhoid
ravage cities and countries.
Whenever a disease becomes
epidemic it is because the germ
found conditions which suited
it and in which it felt at home
and ready for business. The
sanitary conditions of the town
and of the home becomes of
vital Importance. Honolulu is
having taste Of a cholera cpl
demic and it behooves every
body to do his best in placing
every home in the best sanitary
condition possible.
When the general house-clean-
ing which will take place next
Monday is over, many house
keepers will find some house
hold furniture which needs re-
newal and others missing both
as to utility and convenience.
We call attention to-day to
our Oil Stoves. The "Dietz"
Stove which we carry in stock
has gained a great reputation
everywhere. The one we espe-
cially recommend is the most
complete oil stove ever offered
in the market. 1t is perfectly
safe for the user of it, and it
will answer all purposes in a
well regulated household. Five
quarts of oil is sufficient to burn
tel, to twelve hours. In ten
minutes a half gallon water can
be boiled. 1t will fry and boil,
bake or broil at the same time.
You can boil potatoes and bake
biscuit at the same time. In
ten minutes you can broil q.
steak to perfection, and in an
hour and a half you can roast
an eight pound turkey. Once
tried the "Dietz" Oil Stove will
be found the very thing for the
housekeeper, and the price
brings it within the reach of
everybody.
The Water Coolers which we
have on hand are the very
things for restaurants, saloons,
| schools and stores. After the
water is boiled fill the cooler
with it, and even without ice, it
will keep a pleasant tempera-
ture. Large families will find
these highly ornamental coolers
of great advantage and great
saving in regard to ice.

The Port Physician stands before
the bar of public opinion charged
with neglect in the performance of
his official duties. The S. S. Belgic
arrived here from a port or ports in
fected with cholera, and the ships
doctor reported three deaths during
the voyage. No investigation worthy
the name was made as to.the cause OF
the deaths, although the laws of this
republic provide that: eff any mas
ter, seaman, or passenger, belonging
to any vessel, or board of which any
infection may then be, or may have
lately been, or suspected to have
been, or which may have been at, or
which may have come from any
port where any infectious distemper
prevailed that may endanger the
public health, shall refuse to make
answer on oath to such questions as
may be asked him relating to such
infection or distemper, by the Board
OF Health or its agents, such master,
seaman, or passenger 80 refusing
shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding five hundred dollars, or i'm
prisonment at hard labor not ex-
ceeding twelve months, or both, in
the discretion of the court" Did
the Port Physician ask question of
any person other than the master or
doctor? Under the circumstances
was it not his duty to do so2 Having
failed to take the simplest precau-
tions, is he entitled to the further
confidence of the powers that be?
or of the people!

n Some discussion has been made on
recent cases OF taking the oath to
the Republic. Invariably the topic
is dismissed with the Statement,
"Obl he expects to get an Office"
Well What thep2 We do not see
what harm there is in that. Where
the harm was, lay in originally
making it compulsory on all persons,
even jurymeu, to take an oath,
whether repugnaut or not to their
consciences, before they could hold
employment under the Government,
exercise any function Of citizen, or
even serve on jury. To that piece
of spteful idiocy and attempted
bullhozing we owe all our present
misery and the need of the Ladies'
Relief Society.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

Now that the Citizens Committee
OF Ten on sanitation has temporarily
tif not permanently as they hope),
retired into private life, and banded
over the management of things
locally once more to our Board Of
Health, it is not out Of place to show
what they have done. They have,
with their able assistants and cosdju-
tors, the volunteer inspectors and
sub-inspectors, cleansed the city,
stopped the spread of infection, no.
titled all cases of contagion and dis
ease to the medical authorities, ad.
ministered medicine, helped to dis
tribute relief, and investigate cases
of distress, and generally supervised
in every way, every step necessary
to restore the.city to health. They
have suggested the most valuable
ideas in regard to the sanitation of
the city, and by their perfect organ
ization helped to carry them out.
For these reasons the nation is in
debted to all who helped in the good
work "without money and without
price" and hearty thanks are every
where heard. For the same reason
the city is indignant at those who
have been drawing pay for not doing
the work the volunteers have had to
do now, free gratis, and against those
who were supposed to supervise and
control their paid agents.
AS it seems that the Board Of
Health is over-anxious to cease the
quarantine and bring the town back
to it's normal condition it may
as we'll allow fish from the ponds at
Eva tobe placed in the market, and
also oysters. We believe it perfect
ly safe to allow sea fishing to take
place from Barber's Point to Dia-
mond Head via Waianse, ETC., bar
ring the districts of Kona and Eva.
Fishing in the Pearl lochs cannot
reasonably be objected to, either
Professional fishermen express them
selves to the same effect We also
hope that the usual supply of lines,
eggs, poultry, ETC., from the other
side of the island will be allowed
without delay. The producers as
we'll as the consumers are suffering.
1t is said by people who claim to
know that the military expenditure
is being gradually reduced by with
drawals from the force, and the
non-filling up Of the vacancies thus
created. 1t is further added that
by January 1st of next year, it is
calculated to keep no more than 40
OF the rank and file on duty. This
is a step in the right direction, Now
spend the money thus saved on
giving Hawaiians employment, and
the country and the storekeepers
will once more see business flourish
ing.

1t is amusing to notice the deep
meditations Of the Advertiser in re-
gard to show we got the cholera"
Every man, woman and child in
turn who can think, aud are ration
al beings, knows that the cholera
was brought here by the Belgic. The
Board of Health knows it because
it received the information from
we'll. known gentleman who was
made aware of the existence on
board the Belgic by passenger.
That it WAS Chinese who died from
the disease on the voyage and not
japanese plays no figure. The Chi
nese very likely went ashore at Kobe
and there contracted the disease.

Why is it that we hear nothing of

Board of Health-went round to

We hear that the volunteer chief
inspectors OF districts have been
offered two dollars day for their
services during the epidemic. How
valuable they must have been to the
health of The community, if that is
all that could be offered them! Bet
ter to offer nothing than an insult.
The number of paid inspectors for
the different districts should be
doubled, if the inspection is to be
more than perfunctory.
The Bulletin is after the High
School sanitary appliances once
more. 1t objects seriously to their
unsanitary condition. 1t is right.
But SO far nothing has ever been
done right that the Board of Edu-
cation has had to do with, and this
is only of a piece with the rest,
Yet they are so obstinate in their
own couceit that they will probably
do nothing till another epidemic oc-
ours, and then the Board of Health
or the Citizens Sanitary Committee
will take the matter of their hands.

out OF the woods let us have ma
-tional thanksgiving for our escape
from the dread disease, and let us
offer up as sacrifice of praise the
release of the last of the political
prisoners from their confinement.

LAST week the most serious accident
that has ever been chronicled in the
history Of New Mexico, occurred at
the White Ash coal mine, near Cerri-
llos. There was an explosion OF fire
damp and twenty-five men were killed
by the explosion and smothered by the
gas, Col. Jack Fleming, territorial
mine Inspector, happened TO be in the
camp, aud took charge Of the work OF
rescuing the bodies OF the dead. The
legislature made an appropriation OF
g $500 for the benefit OF the families
of the dead, which is being distributed
under the superintendency Of Arch
bishop chapele, Speaker Dame and

that a miner went into an abandoned

CONFESSION and repentance, even at
a late date Is to be commended. When
the legislature met and some peculiar
crooked work In seating democratic
members was consumated the republi-
a papers OF the territory chided the
democratic officials for their actions.
The New Mexican aud many promln-
ent oficials upheld these actions. Just
before and since the adjournment OF
the legislature the New Mexican, and
some Of the prominent officials, have
Topfessedlt the legislature was practi-
cally stolen and as the stolen legisla-
tnre could not pe handled, they are
very sorry 1t was stolen. The legisla-
ture has been a great disappointment

tory Speaker Dame, Ia his closing

Last week the Enterprise had a very
interesting and important article des
scrlbing what Is practically the new
camp OF Carlisle. Since the Carlisle
company abandoned the camp the
LIBERAL, as well as all the other coun-
ty papers, has published many articles
telling Of the new strikes that have
been made in the camp, but no article
mas given as extensive a description
of them as this one. 10 seems that
since the Carlisle company left the
camp, thinking that nothing was left
there, that more valuable discoveries
have been made than were ever before
known In the camp. Investors and
mining engineers have fought shy Of
the camp on the record made by the
Carlisle company. Last fan Mr. A. p.
Loberg, a mining engineer OF expert
ence, went ia there, aud after working
for a time found IL n most promising
camp He induced his friend, II. w.
Child, TO come and inspect the camp.
Mr.. Child promised to so, and while
on his way there stopped over in San
Francisco, where the camp received
such a black eye from the mining men
who are supposed TO be acquainted
with this country, that Mr.. Child
would not have made the trip only
he had pledged bis word to dose. After
Mr.. Child had been In the camp a
short time, made a few assays and Sc
cured bonds on some properties, he
was very glad he came. He sent sam
pies OF ore to Mr.. Il. b. Braden, of the
government assay Office at Helena,
Montana. After Mr.. Braden bad as
sayed the samples he took the first
train for Carlisle and wanted an inter
est 10 the contracts that Messrs. Lo-
burg s. Childs had secured. They told
him he could have an interest provid-
ing he would build a narrow gauge
railroad from the mines to either
Duncan or Lordsburg, which he inn
mediately promised to do. Messrs.
Braden and Childs were in the city
Saturday, en- route to San Francisco,
to make arrangements for the build
ing of the road. They are both ex-
~perienced mining engineers and inform
the LIBERAL that the article in the
Enterprise is not overdrawn in the
least. They say that in their expert
ence 10 mining they have never seen
such prospects as are exhibited 10 Car
Isle, that there is nothing in Montana
that can compare with them, and they
figure it will be but a short time be-
fore they make comfortable fortunes.
They say that If such a camp was in
Colorado it would not be sixty days
before there would be Eve thousand
people in the camp. The prospects
are that Carlisle will see a grand boom
this spring, and she will again take
her place as the leading producer of
gold in Grant county, and will add to
the gold production a large silver
output.
