people now have a right to ques-
ton the motive of the whOOp-it-

gle the Government in all kinds
of international wrangles.
The opportunity is right here
and now for the Government TO
stop wholesale immigration from
the Orient. If the law of 1896 was
not passed in order that it might
be applied in just such conditions
as obtain at the present day, we
would like to know what the OBJ
ject of our Legislators was. Was
it that they wanted to put high
sounding rights at the disposal of
our officials-never to be used?
Did they put section six in the
law, and with a sly wink to the
Executive, say: "This is for eff
fect?" We think not. If we are
mistaken, it is time the people
found it out.
The people of Honolulu are to-
day facing fact, not a theory.
They have seen that a fourteen
days quarantine in Japan and
nineteen days at sea on a
healthy" ship is no guarantee
against the introduction of a
smallpox epidemic. They have
seen that officials engaged in in
yestigating the right of immi-
grants to enter this port may be
tied up almost indefinitely in

The Transvaal Government
seems to be about as well versed
in the methods of Self-preserva-
ton as any nation of the globe.
Not long since Secretary Cham
berlain demanded that the right
of suffrage should be allowed
foreigners in the gold fields. The
Transvaal parliament replied
promptly, though in a somewhat
unexpected manner. The justice
of the demand was recognized,
and as result, S62 Uitlanders
received their citizenship papers
as a reward for their prompt re-
Spouse to the call to arms in de-
Tense of the Boer government.
1t is said there were no English
men among the number.

In view of the Supreme Court
decision declaring the Trans
Missouri Traffic Association with
in the restriction of the antitrust
law of 1890, the railroad mag
mates are contemplating move
on the United States Congress
to obtain a law allowing railroads
to pool their interests. 1t is not
probable that the railroads will
make direct appeal to Congress.
Such action would stir the COM
mon people and politicians would
have to look out for their scalps
at the next election. The rail
road men will work cautiously
gaining their points slowly and
possibly surely. At all events as
a factor i'll the struggle between
the trusts and the people the
future of the traffic associations
will furnish interesting material
for the political students of the
United States.

The charge that the quarantine
at Waikiki has not been properly
maintained has undoubtedly been
made without due consideration
of facts. Since leaving the immi
grant station the gentlemen now
located at Mr.. Castles residence
have followed to the letter the in
structions of the physicians of
the Board of Health. Before leav-
ing the quarantine station each
individual was put through the
regulation antiseptic bath and
fresh clothing was brought from
their homes. The clothes worn

during the investigation were left
at the quarantine station. As
thoroughly disinfected as a car
bolic acid bath and disinfected
clothing could make them, the Of
ficials rode to Waikiki, where
they have since remained. 1t is
understood that some outsiders
went into the yard after the quar-
antine was declared, but as they
were only within shouting dis
lance, the dangers of infection are
nil. From start to finish, the quar-
antine has been conducted ac-
cording to rules and regulations
laid down by the best medical au-
thorities. There is no reason to
believe that smallpox will make
its appearance in the city.

SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION.

In going over the list of young
men of Hawaii who are attend
ing American colleges and uni
versities, it is remarkable to note
that nearly every son of Hawaii
is fitting himself for what are
sometimes called the white shirt
professions. The boys seem to be
following in the footsteps of their
fathers and fitting themselves to
be lawyers and doctors. The sci
entific courses now attracting
thousands of young men in the
United States seem to be held in
adherence. Notwithstanding the
industrial development of this
country calls for men educated in
practical science and mechanic
arts, the majority of the boys are
delving in Greek and Latin and
the usual finishing touches of
classical education.
Look over the sugar planta-
lions and note the men who are
doing the scientific work. With
out exception they are men from
Germany or the United States
educated in the scientific institu-
lions. Yet the boys whose educa-
ton is furnished them by sugar
dividends, are devoting their at
tention to the classics. This is
strange state of affairs, indeed.
when we take into consideration
of what inestimable value applied
science has been and will be in
the production of our industrial
mainstay. The natural suppose
ton would be that young men
who have been brought up on
sugar and intimately acquainted
with the requirements of its pro
duction, would turn their atten-
ton to the practical courses of
study. 1t is also worthy of note
that our Government engineers
and teachers of science in our ed
vocational institutions are largely
men from the United States.
E Just what is the reason for this
state of affairs we cannot say.
Possibly, it is due to the old
fashioned idea that exists in some
parts of the United States-class-
ical college men look down upon
the scientific institutions. Pos
sibly, it is because the young sons
of Hawaii dislike the idea of dis
coloring their fingers with the
acids of the laboratory, getting
black and dirty in the smoke and
grease of the machine shop, or
object to the outdoor hardships
of the civil engineering.
Whatever the cause may be, it
certainly is a misfortune that so
few Of the young men of the
country are turning their atten-
ton to what is known as prac-
teal education. If Hawaii is to
keep pace with other countries
in science and the mechanic arts,
it will be forced in the future. as
| it has been in the past, to draw its
leaders from other countries.
Suppose, for instance, the Gov
eminent should establish an eX-

lationship with the exaggeration

THE DINGLEY TARIFF.

According to the returns made
by the experts of the United
States Treasury Department,
Congressman Dingley and the Re
publican majority of Congress
have succeeded in ut-McKinley-
ing Mckinley in drawing up the
new tariff bill. BY comparing the
Mckinley law of 1890, the present
Wilson law and the proposed
Dingley law, some interesting
figures are brought to light. Tn
der the Mckinley law the aver
age tariff rate was 1858 per cent.
The average under the present
law is 1894 per cent. while in the
bill passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives, the average rate is
sos per cent. If the Senate ac-
cepts the measure as passed by
the House. there can be little
prospect of the tariff being taken
out of politics in the near future.
The argument that the new law
will increase the revenue of the
United States S113,000.000 a
year. and that the money is sadly
needed may carry the day, but
the Republican majority in the
Senate will have TO be of the iron
clad type to do it.
Irrespective of party, the opin
ion is gaining ground in the Unit
ed States that the country has
suffered from over protection.
The condition is not unlike what
we have here. Large industries
have grown up quickly and the
people have become so accustom-
ed to treading on velvet, that they
cannot adapt themselves TO the
situation when "a set back is eX-
perienced. The United States, by
virtue of the protection policy,
has become one of the manufact-
uring nations of the world. The
trend of public opinion now is to
do away with the industrial nur
sery and let the manufacturers
shift for themselves. 7T sa7
Although the American Gov
eminent is sadly in need of an
increase in revenue, it is not prob
able that the United States Senate
with questionable tariff major
ity' viii pass a measure carrying
such a high average of protection.
Hence we may expect long fight
before the tariff bill of 1897 is
declared a law. Should President
Mckinley succeed in swinging
the "silver protectionists" into
line and thereby secure the neces-
sary majority to pass the DingIey
bill in the Senate, he will 90 on
record as one of the ablest Presi-
dents the United States has ever
had.

vet TO be proved that the kina
Maru can be dealt with under this
law. The officers are supposed to
be innocent until their guilt is
proved. This is problem for the
Board of Health and the legal
lights of the country to work out.
The pathway for them to follow is
clearly mapped and the people of
this country expect them to lose
no time in getting at the inside
facts.
But what is to he done mean
while? 1t will take year and Il
day to settle the case now in
hand, and if the reports are to be
credited. we may expect other
immigrant ships to show up in
the offing almost any day.
What guarantee has this Govern
ment that the next immigration
ship will not repeat the history
of the kinai Maru? 1t has none.
absolutely none-from Japan or
any other country. We have seen
that the object of the steamship
companies is to land their passen-
gers.
But the Government can en-
force a guarantee as will be seen
by the following: Section 6 of
the "Act relating to quarantine
powers" passed in 1896, reads:
whenever it shall be shown to
the satisfaction of the President
that by reason of the existence of
any infectious or contagious dis
ease in any foreign country, there
is serious danger of the introduc-
ton of the same into the Hawai-
ian Islands, and that notwith-
standing the quarantine defense,
this danger is so increased by the
introduction of persons or prop
erty from such country that sus-
pension of the right to introduce
The same is demanded in the inter
est of public health, the Presi-
dent shall have the power to pro
hibit, i'll whole or part, the intro
duction of persons or property |
from such countries or places as
he shall designate, and for such |
period of time as he may deem
necessary"
If the above law does not fit
the present situation we wouldit
like to know what does. Immi-
grants are not coming here bell
cause theresa dearth of labor. 1ftt
then the Executive has the right
to stop immigration during the
small pox epidemic in Japan
there is every reason why this
port should be declared closed to
Storage passengers from that
country. 1t is sheer nonsense
and absolutely dangerous for the
present condition of affairs to
continue. Let the Executive shut
the doors and do it promptly.
