The Washington dispatch to the effect
that a large part of the present army will
be kept in the service for a considerable
period after the conclusion of peace cannot

seem probable that more than $1,000 men
will be needed to preserve order in Cuba
and Porto Rico. Even If $1,000 men should
be required IL we take the Philippines. there
would be 125.OoO men who could be dis

The Making of n saint.

Judging from the number of stories Of
medieval times that are being published
nowadays there must be market for them
At least story writers seem determined to
supply any possible demand. The Making
Of Saint" by William S. Vaughan, is
one of this class, a romance of medieval
Italy, the scene being laid in the fifteenth
century. 1t is a story of military adventure
and political intrigue, with enough love-
making of a gross kind to supply the nee
essary contrast and interest. Boston: l.. c.

The Philadelphia Medical Journal, jour-
nal which stands very high in the estima-
ton Of the medical profession, has a care
fully considered article defending the sur
geon general and the medical department of
the army from charges of incompetency or
neglect of duty. The argument of the arti-
Gle, based on facts, is that the medical au-
thorities have done the best they could and
all that was possible under the circumstan-
ces, and that any apparent failure has
been due to conditions they could not fore
see or control. The article concludes:
For our own part we would call the at
tentiOn of amateur newspaper critics to the
fact that war is not naturally a strictly hy
gienic process 1t sometimes makes it's own
laws, regardless of the best sanitary precau-
tons. When General Shafter was sent into
yellow fever country in the yell
low fever season, he probably re-
garded this disease as he regards
bullets-as among the chances of war.
His business was to go ahead to fight and to
conquer. To claim as some critics seem in
clned to do, that the medical authorities
could, under such circumstances, practice
successfully the ordinary rules of preven-
tive medicine is to make a captious crit
icism so preposterouS as to need no refuta-
ton from u.s.

POLITICAL PRISONERS.

The Council Of State will meet
with the Executive tomorrow alter
noon, aud we understand that a
number Of petitions for pardons or
communication OF sentence will be
considered by the Councils. 1t is
the custom to grant certain relief to
volators OF our laws on the 18th of
January, the birthday OF the Hawai-.
ian Republic. In regard to those
confined at Oahu Prison who seek
'r mercy, we have nothing to say.
Tney are in the hands OF the prison
inspectors and the authorities who
b ave before them all the facts which
will decide, whether the petitioners
are deserving OF special considera-
ton or not. There is, however, a
d fferent class of men who yet are
prisoners although enjoying their
liberty, being released from Jail on
parole. 1t is for them that we ask
the Councils to exercise the powers
vested in them, by granting free
and full pardon, step which will
help in bringing into oblivion an
episode which 1t would be wise to
efface from the pages OF Hawaii's
history and which will act as a balm
to sore spot III the hearts of the
Hawsiians. The political" prisoners
have behaved themselves since the
liberation and have gone about
their business without desiring more
political" experiences. Those OF
them with whom we have conversed
have expressed their willingness to
take the oath Of allegiance to the
Republic and continue good, loyal
citizens to Hawaii nei, if their civil
rights be restored to them. Another
plank in the bridge across the poll
tical chasen will be nailed down il

NEPorISM.

No reasonable man who follows
the methods OF our present govern
ment can help noticing the nepo-
tism and favoritism displayed by
the officials from the President to
the Poundmaster OF Waybacktown.
The "family compact" has been
nursed in a manner which would
make Kalakaua's Minister'S blush
No questions are asked in regard to
ability or integrity as long as the
men enjoying the patronage of the
Government have "pull" some
where, be it ia the bosom Of minis
terial family or in a masonic lodge.
The "pull" carries everything along.
From Hawaii we hear that Mr.. Dole
has been using his influence to Sc
cure certain lands to one of his spe-
cial protegees, the "duke" of Puu-
waawaa. Fortunately for the tax
payers and unfortunately for the
"duke," the lease OF the lands of
Puanahulu have to be sold at auc-
ton, and it is very possible that a
repetition of former experience
will be had, when the "duke" starts
into running up" the lands.
1t was some years ago when the
Puuwaawaa lands were sold at pub
lie auction, and Mr.. Eben Low "ran
them up" and he got them. In the
last Legislature a petition was pre-
sented from him, in which he asked
for a reduction OF the rent, which he
with his eyes open, had agreed to
pay at the public sale Of the lease,
Even papa" Dole dared not face the
music, and the petition went into
the legislative waste basket and the
rent goes on. Mr.. Dole has OF
course a big "pull;" it was big
enough to get $4,000 from the tax
payers for his junketiug trip. He
may, as stated in Puuwaawaa circles
have been asked to Washington by
special invitation from his great and
good friend Mckinley, but he hasn't
got word to say, when the Puana-
hulu lease is auctioned off, or when
those who get "bitten" ask for re-
duction in rent after "bluffing" the
other fellows out OF the deal, Dole's
nepotism is we'll known, but he isn't
