THE AFTER MATH.

From the correspondence we re-
eeiye from the other islands, it is
certain that it will be many day
before there will be peace in the
several communities, where indi-
viduals have suffered from the ar
bitrary action of the local board of
health. Men or women, quaran-
tined beyond the accepted five
days limit, by neighbors who have
lost their heads and inflicted upon
them an unnecessary, and even
cruel imprisonment for many days
more, are not going to be resigned"
or "forgiving" about it. A period
of hard feeling and recrimination
now follows.
1t is a pity that. at the first news
of the outbreak of cholera, the peo-
pie of the other islands did not
send representatives here at once
to examine and make report on the
situation. Had they done this,
there would have been united &C

ANESE IMMIGRATION.

Apropos of Commissioner Fitz-
gerald's scare on the japanese
labor question and his attempt to
interest Senator White of Califor-
mia in the subject of excluding the
japanese from the United States,
the New York Sun says that if
Senator White is sensible he will
hurry around the corner whenever
be sees Fitzgerald approaching him
on the street, and will take preci-
GUS good care not to be at home
when that functionary rings the
door bell.
"Public sentiment in this coun-
try is not going to tolerate any
application of the old sand-lot
ideas and arguments to the people
of Japan who want to come to our
country to live. The alleged inter-
ests of labor on the Coast will not
be able to browbeat Congress into
treating the japanese of 1895 as
undesirable immigrants, barba-
rians unfit to enter our gates. The
statesman who at this stage of the
worlds progress undertakes to start
an anti-Jspanese agitation, or to
inaugurate legislation sure to make
an end of the friendly relations ex-
listing between the people of the
United States and the Yankees of

reasonable to suppose that the

that the affair can be passed over

SLOWLY and with apparent surety
the city is recovering from the
nervous suspense resulting from
the cholera seige. People are graf
fled that the visitation has been
no worse and are hopeful for the
future, but at the same time have
the fear of the child that has been
burned. The present danger lies
in-being too sure of the ground
already gained. We are dealing
with hidden enemy that must be
watched for weeks to come and we
can afford no relaxation of vigil
lance.

A TRAVELLER in the Alps declares
that the kind, generous st. Bernard

the orators, clergymen and poets
who have been using his goodness

that he is selfish brute that fol-
lows the lost traveller in the snow
heaps, knocks him over, and eats
up his luncheon if he has any. If
this is true, we can only say that
the story of the dogs sagacity and
kindness, as told for many years,
has done some good in its way, and
it shows how lie well told may
serve a good purpose. The dog

White has not the reputation of

The Sun strikes the key note
when it remarks that Japan has
too much to do at home to go
wandering about the globe looking
for trouble. Undoubtedly the
United States can "pick a row"
with Japan if it follows the pro-
gram made out by the alarmists,
and in this attempt at agitation

THE New York World says that
President Cleveland intends to re-
cognize the Cuban insurgents, and
contemplates advising the purchase
of the island from Spain. This
story sounds like the World, and
unless the President of the United
States has undergone a great
change of heart, it will probably
turn out as the majority of its
stories of a similar character do
founded on possible fact. The
continued success of the Cuban
insurgents makes it quite probable
that they will soon be favored with
the formal and somewhat tardy
recognition of the United States.

THE CABLE A SANITARY SAFEGUARD.

Hawaii the sanitary outpost is a
new phase of the Importance of this
country to the United States that
has been brought to the American
mind by recent events. The value
of these islands as a military
and commercial outpost of the
United States has been argued
and reargued since ships of war
and merchant ships have come
to Honolulu. The people have
listened to the pros and cons for
years, and their support of either
side has depended very much on
their political persuasion and the
mandate Of the party. But when
it comes to a question of protect
ing the public health party lines
are forgotten. The people with
one accord begin to look about and
in the words of the maudlin Con-
gresham ask where they are at.
Thus it is that Americans who
have put the Hawaiian cable down
as needless expense, an Hawai-
ian necessity but an American
luxury, are beginning to come to
their senses. They have discov-
cred that the boot will fit the
American as we'll as the Hawaiian
leg.
AS the Examiner says, the oppon-
ents of government aid to.the cable
project have pretty theory but it
doesn't fit a cholera epidemic. A
plague infested steamer at the pres
ent time lays the whole United
States liable to dangers that could
easily be averted by Geographic
communication by means of which
all ports along the Coast could be
warned and prepared to take
proper care of vessels on arrival.
There would be no particular profit
for private individuals in a service
of this sort-nothing that would be
an inducement to a corporation to
lay cable as a commercial specu-
lation-but its Importance to the
community can scarcely be ques-
toned even by such stalwart op-
ponents of subsidies as the New
York Evening POST"
Although this country has paid
a price it can i'll afford, to impress
these facts upon the American
inanciers, no military or CONNER
cial argument that Colonel Spald-
ing and his congressional friends
can offer will have more influence
on the guardians of the national
purse strings than this example |
that has cost US money and lives,
and might have cost San Francisco |
more lives and more money.

of Health with the sword of his
wrath. Taking for his text III
CLron. XVI, 12) the instance Of
Asa, who refused to seek the Lord
in his disease, but went instead to
the physicians, and then died, he
enforces a solemn lesson upon the
reprobate people of Honolulu, who
closed the churches, went off to the
physicians, and stopped the spread
of cholera. The closing of the
churches by the people and the re-
fusal of Asa to seek the Lord in his
sickness are regarded as parallel
cases by the Bishop. But, some
how, they seem to be at right an
giles, instead of parallel, as Asa
died and our people continued to
live. Perhaps the point is Gin the
application on IT," as Captain Cut
tie said, or perhaps there is no
point. Asa, says the Bishop, found
medical aid powerless and died.
This community found medical
aid powerful and it lives, even if it
did close the churches. Where is
the point?
The Bishop remarks that zone of
the first duties of religion is obedi-
ence." But his argument seems to
be that, while one must obey the
health laws made by the Board of
Health, there is no law against
making ugly faces at the Board,
nor any rule against calling them
names. The Bishop, however, has
a most serious charge to make
against the members of his own
church. Have you suffered your
selves to be leavened by the hypoc-
racy and materialism that sur

the dreadful calamity which would
have befallen these recreant mem

THE ORIGIN OF THE CHOLERA.

We hope that our clever Pnyei'
clans will find the time to make a
thorough investigation of the origin
of the cholera here. In view of our
relations to the Asiatic countries, it
is important. While there are
some who still deny that the dis
ease is the Asiatic cholera, the ma
jority agree that it is, and want to
know exactly how itgot here. 1t is
generally believed that it came in
the Belgic, but the method of its
transportation is not settled. The
Chinese in the steerage came from
a clear port, Hongkong, and were
on board five days before reaching
Kobe, where the vessel was allowed
only to take freight, at distance
from the shore, and this freight
went into the bold. At Yokohama
the vessel took Japanese in the
steerage, who were not allowed to
mix with the Chinese, but the Jap
anese came from an infected coun-
try.
If several Chinese died Of the dis
ease on the vessel, then there is the
curious fact that men from a clear
port were taken with it, while the
people from an infected country
were free from it. Why should
the Chinese have it and the Japan
ese not have it? If the disease did
exist on the vessel, why did the
physician on board, if he intended
to conceal the fact, take several
saloon passengers with him to see
the bodies of the dead men? And
if they had the disease how did
they get it, while isolated on the
vessel for over seven days, while
the Japanese, who came fresh from
a country where it prevailed, did
not get it?
1t may be said, in searching for
an explanation, that the Chinese,
though isolated may have bought
fruits in Kobe. How did they get
it ? AS considerable freight was
shipped at Kobe, we're the germs
in part of it, and did
hey get into the waters of our
1arbor through the freight and |
poison the fish :? Of course, if the |
disease came from germs carried |
n the freight, then the ships
Ulcers are not to be blamed be-
'ause they received freight just as
he vessels of many other nations
we're receiving it.
If the Belgic's doctor concealed
he disease, what are we to do in
he future &? Can we trust doctors
certificates ? We cannot stop our
commerce. That is certain. 1t
hardly seems probable that any
member of the medical fraternity
would make himself liable to the
harge placed at the door
f the Belgic's physician by
many people in this community,
nd it is due him, the steamship
ompany and the people of this
ountry that the matter should be
lifted to the bottom. Meanwhile all
hat can be done is to keep the
ity in the best sanitary condition
Use the best judgment we can COM
nand whenever there is possible
anger, and then, like the rest of
be world, take our chances.

that great allowances should be
made for the acts of the men
in these remote places, because
they felt very serious responsibility
and acted accordingly to their light.
But why did they not get little
more light?
While the citizens of Kauai were
rather frantic over the landing of
passengers from Honolulu, and the
people of Maui forcibly sent away
passengers fully disinfected, and
the people of Hilo corralled on
Cocoanut Island many passengers
completely disinfected, according
to the latest regulations of the Gov
eminent of the United States, here
in Honolulu, physicians, who had
just been in the infected districts,
and in the cholera hospital would
simply change their clothes and
wash their hands, and visit families
and dine out with their friends and
the danger of contagion was not
even thought of. Our ladies adj
mittedly inferior in courage to the
Hilo men, received these medical
men at their tables without any
hesitation, while across two ocean
channels, men and women, in
much less dangerous" condition
were barricaded out of comfort and
conveniences.
1t is extremely unfortunate that
the people of the other islands held
in contempt the cholera regu-
lations of the American peo-
pie, who, it is believed, have
a lively sense of the need of
protection against disease, and who
recently passed through cholera
season. Now and then, it is worth
while to take something on trust,
even if it is the medical authority
of sixty-fve millions of keen wit
ted people. During the cholera
season of 1892 in the United States
the isolated communities did what |
the people of the other islands |
have just done. In number of |
