CALM REFLECTION NEEDED.

Communications from the other
islands are very good proof that
fair proportion of the people have
become worked up to high pitch
OF excitement that has rendered
them blind to nearly everything
but their own fears. We trust that
be the time the next wail reaches
them they will have become
sufficiently calm to listen TO reason
and put some trust in the opinions
of those equally considerate of
their welfare and equally Compel
ept to pass judgment on the means
necessary to protect other districts
from infection. The people of Hilo
have apparently come to earth in a
very sensible manner, and we be-
lieve the inhabitants of other
districts will do well to pause in
their cratic flight and consider
where they are heading. While it
devolves upon every resident of
every community TO realize the
gravity of the situation, these same
people are in duty bound to exer-
else a certain amount of discretion,
so that conditions will not be more
complicated as a result of their &C.
ton. For all our national reputation
for hospitality and kind treatment of
visitors from other lands, it will be
some time before the Raymond ex-
cursionists will forget their recep-
ton on the island of Hawaii.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances, it will take a good many
months for the country to recover
from the setback it has received
during the past few weeks, and
whether the depression is made
less serious or jammed down over
our head and ears depends upon
the exercise Of common sense by
the intelligent classes.

The editor OF the Anglican
Church Chronicle very properly
calls attention to the lack of atten-
ton paid the requirements of the
law concerning the registration of
births. Unfortunately this country
is sadly deficient in statistics,
one phase having been pointed out
in the report of the Labor Commits
sion. The Chronicle says: ave
do not see how an accurate census
can be made if the births of chill
dren are not registered. Parents
are neglectful to register their new
born infants, and it is often the
cause of injury to the child in after
life when the date of birth cannot
be ascertained and easily proved"
1t is anticipated that the next CEN
sus will be complete in many Of
the important details that have
been overlooked in the past, but
any amount of care can hardly
make up for lack of attention to
a department OF the work which to
be reasonably accurate must be
constantly kept in hand.

BISHOP WILLIS, in his Diocesan
Magazine, improves the opportu-
nifty TO further air his opinions on
religious services in times Of pesd-
lence. The collection Of words by
which he attempts 10 vent his
wrath upon the Government are
devoid of anything approaching
sound reason or common sense.
We do not dispute the efficacy Of
prayer in times OF distress or pesti-
lence-in fact, we believe in it; but
it is quite SIS important that s
recognition of hygienio laws should
90 hand in hand with religious
duties. Some years ago s steamer,
on which Evangelist Moody was 8
passenger, was caught in severe
storm and disaster seemed newt
able. While the storm was at its
height s prayer meeting was held
IN the cabin, and continued until
The danger had passed. Had the
circumstances been such that the
captain deemed it necessary for
each passenger to remain IN his
cabin, the prayers offered, accord
ing to the reverend bishop, would
have been mere wordy utterances
snd Of no avail. It is unfortunate
that men Of the bishops cranial
tendencies should be allowed TO run
loose. Il is useless to argue with
them.

DAY oP ELECTRICITY AND STEAM

A most significant industrial al
lance showing the increased re-
spect with which railroad comps-
mics are coming to regard the ad-
vance of electricity as motive
power, is the recent consolidation
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works
of Philadelphia and the Westing-
house Electrical Company of Pitts
burg. Both of these corporations
are among the largest in their re-
spective lines and have money and
ability galore at their command.
While this combination Of forces
does not necessarily pcrtend an
immediate revolution in the meth
DDS of locomotion and replacing
steam by electricity on the large
railway systems, it indicates that
electricity has become such power
that railway magnates realize that
a friendly alliance will result more
favorablv than an out and out su-
tagonism. The success OF suburb
an electric railway lines in the
vicinity OF nearly every large city
in the United States has demon
strated that for local traffic cleo
tricity is competitor Of no mean
proportion. Furthermore the cleo
trio roads are being extended from
town TO town, through rural dis
tricts until the steam railway is
psralleled for miles by system
which is practically running its
trains with but few minutes in
tervening az a much smaller pro-
portiona expense.
The prospect Of electricity being
used on the long hauls Of the trunk
lines seems far distant at present.
The parties TO the combination
state that they are not influenced
Immediately by any such outlook
but are simply paving the way to
meet competition by absorbing it
and making ready 10 reap what
benefits may accrue from the devel-
opment Of the new agent in its
broadest sphere.

GROWTH OF CHURCHES IN TIE
UNITED STATES.

The compiled statistics Of the
churches of the United States re-
Gently sent out by the Census Bu-
reau show that in 1890 there were
l4S distinct denominations in the
country and 156 independent or
CARNATIONS with q total member
ship of 20,6l2,SO6. Although the
number OF denominations is larger
than might be anticipated at first
thought, The communicates are by
no means equally divided. At the
time the census was taken ail but
eight per cent. belonged to twenty
six denominations. and in FIVE OF
the denominstional families were
included 100000 Of the total
20,612, sos. This 100000 were
divided IS follows: Catholic
6,257.S 81. Methodist 1859, 2S4,
Baptist 3.712 46S, Presbyterian
1,27S, 332, and Lutheran 1,251072
Thus, Of the total church member
ship. seven-tenths were included in
three denominations, the Catholic,
Methodist and Baptist. Among
the Protestant communicsnts,
100000 out of Il, 100000 were in
the Methodist and Baptist
churches.
In the number OF church socie-
ties or organizations the Protest
ants far exceed the Roman Catho-
lies, which is doubtless due to the
tendency OF the latter denomination
to include large districts in one
congregation. As between the city
and the country, the larger
proportion Of the Catholics were
found in the city, abou. oue-half
being in 124 cities with populations
Of p, 700 and upwards. Although
the country districts are,generally
considered more religious" than
the cities, statistics show that pro-
po,tionately to the population the
number of religious commandments
was greater in the city. In the 124
cities containing sn aggregate
population Of over 1900, 600, there
was one church member to every
? g. inhabitants, while in the
country there was one to 800.
For valuation OF church property
New York city stand at the head
with s55,Oo0.OO0. Philadelphia has
the largest number Of church edi-
fees, with Brooklyn second, Chi
cago third and New York fourth.
The small cities, as g rule, contain

csnts. In New York city over three

some OF the sub-inspectors are
inclined 30 take exception TO what
they call the constant criticism
of their work. In fact there are
those who go 50 far as TO see some
political phase in the request Of
Of Capt McStocker TO report any
member OF the sanitary corps who
may not be doing his full duty.
Such suggestions are IS far from
being correct as it is possible for 8
superstition 10 be. The excellent
work that is being done by the VOL
unteer inspectors has gained for
these men the spprecistive good
will of the entire community. The
people realize that many are tax
ing time from their business and
sre laboring with no more tangible
reward il view than that they are
protecting their fellowmen from
danger. Yet the fact remains that
there have been sub-inspectors who
have not kept quite up to the mark
Sc. By their written regulations.
Fortunately there are no. many,
perhsps not more than one or two,
but il Is the one or two that may
set to naught sll the benefit de-
rived from the careful work OF sll
the Others in the corps. As TO the
politics Of these men We know
nothing OF care Doihing, and ten
hundred ont OF every thousand
souls in the city are OF the same
opinion. The inspectors who are
following their instructions TO the
letter need take no ofense; they
sre the right men in the night
place, and they msy depend upon
ii that there viii be no attempt to
pick flaws in their work.

AFTER the incident of Sunday,
when posters were sent out advls-
ing the natives not TO take the
medicines given by the city physl-
clans. one is inclined to lose all
faith in human nature and admit
that half the world is made up Of
idiots proud of their ignorance and
DESTROYS of blindf5lding the re-
naming half. At 8 time like the
present, such action is nothing short
of criminal and should be dealt
with accordingly. We can not call
the names of the authors OF such
advice. but ii will not take very
long to find them out. The fact
that thew can read and write,
which is usually regarded as a
mark of average intelligence, is
pretty good proof that they are
old enough to know better.
These people who are thus posing
as the friends of the Hawaiians
must know that in no other way
could they do the Hawaiians or
any other race a greater injury.
Summary arrest and sentence to
Imprisonment would be light pun
ishment for the person or persons
who have been instrumental in
distributing such advice among
The ignorant classes.

SNAP JUDGMENT OF PUBLIC MEN.

In short sketch written for the
Outlook. entitled The Mad Sum-
mer of 1895" Rev. JAS. NJ. Wilton
brings out forcibly the manner
in which public officers, the ser
wants of the people, are often
roundly condemned by an unthink-
ing, popular mind FOR action which,
in the light of following events,
proves to hsvs been not only good
stroke of diplomacy, but also one
of the moves that maintained the
dignity Of the nation and diverted
its course from the brink Of posi-
bic disaster. England had violated
many of the stipulations Of the
treaty made st the close Of the
Revolutionary war Hundreds of
American vessels engaged in trade
with France had been captured,
any many American seamen i'm
prisoned English forts on the
frontier had not been given up, and
American blood was stirred TO a
point where another war seemed
inevitable. At this juncture Wash
ington dispatched John Jay, Chief
Justice OF the Supreme Court, to
England to negotiate q new treaty.
1t was 8 delicate as well as most
thsnkless task. 4 favorable recep-
ton in England was, to many of
his people at home, proof of
intrigue with the hated officials of
the mother country. A treaty was
made, however, and ratified by the
American Senate on a strict party
vote Of twenty to ten. This gave
rise to a storm of indignation
throughout the thirteen States,
principally from the Jeffersonian
ranks. Jay was burned in efigy
and public speakers who supported
the ratification were stoned by
mobs. Many American conces-
sions had been SLOWED and few
obtained from Great Britain; the
right Of searching American vessels
snd the impressment of American
seanen was not renowned. Yet
this same treaty has gone down in
history as a masterpiece of diplo-
macy, considering the time and cir
cumstances Of this United States
country"
The lessons that may De drawn
from this incident in history
hold good st the present day. HUI
man nature and the popular
mind" have changed but little.
Under high tension the individual
and party magnities its opinions to
degree Of importance that oblit-
crates the rights of others, and the
power Of reflection or recognition
of the integrity of men who are
guiding the destiny Of the nation
seems entirely forgotten. While
charity toward public officials can
hardly be expected, l. is within the
range OF every average mind to ex-
ercise fair degree OF common
sense in considering their action. |
1t is easy TO accuse men Of being
s1ayed by party jealousies and in !
dividusl aspirations, but it is quite |
another thing to prove the truth OF
the accusation. In times OF public /
trial, of sll others. al the calm, |
sober judgment that each indigid-
usl can muster should be brought |
into play. There is 10 time or
place for Matching petty misrepre-
