SOLDIERS NOT SAINTS.

We are pleased to see that The
Hongkong Telegraph does not hesi-
tate in mentioning matters which
have caused shocked sensation
when broached in our columns. The
following paragraphs from the issue
of the 9th ult. OF the Fl. T. are
very pertinent to present conditions
in Honolulu:
While, however, the whole of the
Colony has been anxiously following
the slow progress of the Spanish
American war and awaiting news of
victory to one side or the other, a
war has been waging that affects us
to fully as great an extent as that
between America and Spain, and a
victory has been won which will
have more lasting effects and bring
more benefit to the Colony and the
world at last than can any naval or
military exploit. We refer to the
announcement by Mr.. Chamberlain
that the Contagious Diseases Ordi-
nance will be once more enforced in
Hongkong, which is a. brilliant VIC
tory for science and common sense
over ignorance, prudery, and false
modesty. Much outcry has been
made against certain ladies who
opposed the act, but it must
be remembered that they acted
with the best intentions and accord
ing to their own ideas of right and
purity. If they were able to curb
vice effectually without legislation
we should be among the very first to
support them, but, as Rudyard
Kipling remarks, "Single men in
Barracks don't grow into plaster
saints" and the time for the aboli-
tion of state regulation of vice has
not yet arrived.
Once again we must congratulate
the local branch of the Navy League,
for they, together with the China
Association, have worked hard for
the re- enforcement of the Act in
Hongkong, and their labours, as in
the case of the extension of the
Kowloon frontier, have been crowned
by success. One of the results Of
victory, and by no means the least,
will be the restricting of brothels to
certain quarters of the town, which
will make police supervisions more
easy, and will remove many annoy
-ances to which those whose circum-
stances compel them to live in the
more crowded parts OF the city have
long been exposed. We hope, how
ever, that there will be something
more than mere re-enactment of
the old ordinance. 1t stood largely
in need Of amendment, and before it
can come usefully into operation a
new Lock Hospital will have to be
provided.

CORRESPONDENTS.
Very Inconsistent.

ED. The INDEPENDENT
notice in your yesterdays issue
you strongly advocate the candidacy
Of Mr.. S. M. Damon for the position
of U. S. Governor OF these islands.
As far as l am concerned | cannot
make you out. You are very incon-
sistent
One day you oppose smiling
Sammy, another day you laud him,
at another time you insinuate him
to be muhee, at another instance
you tread upon him for desecrating
the bones of the Hawaiian monarchs
which you deem the Hawaiians will
and ought never to forget, and at
some further time you laud and
boast him up to the skies as an
ideal to be followed by the Hawai-
ians for his sycophantic love of
them as in this instance, and so on
ad infnit,tm. Your course is very
hard to comprehend.
For myself, if the Hawaiians know
themselves and what is to, their best
interest, they will let Smiling
Sammy" alone and to forever smile.
His patriotism and love of country
is not the kind l would want, for he
is looking after Sammy and nobody
else. If he had loved Hawaii, he
would long ago have severed his
connection with the oligarchs; but
no, he stayed in with them to save
the shekels he advanced

The administration knew while
the Legislature was in session that
$4,000 would be needed to pay the
Japanese claim, and that another
sum OF money would have to be
paid to indemnify the foreigners
who we're imprisoned in 1895 and
released without trial. The power
of appropriating the public funds is
vested in the Legislature. The
Council of State can appropriate
money only in cases of war, pesti-
lenoe and emergency. Why did the
administration prefer to have the
Council OF State appropriate the
money for the Japanese rather than
the Legislatures Did Mr.. Dole and
his laundering advisers fear an open
debate and the criticism OF the re-
presentatives Of the people, or did
they simply enjoy their last chance
to violate their own Constitution?

The correspondents have coined
another war epigram:
"Only Dewey and myself know
that"
Captain Chichester of the I'm
mortalite happens to be'a gentle
man and diplomat as we'll as a

pernickels to plutocratic millions
that he never made any such state
ment to Admiral Won Diedrichs, un-
less, indeed, they were mutually
drenching each other with Lacrima
Christi or Pine Apple Rum.

OF course we were under no obi
cations to pay $4,000 to Japan.
We simply did it as a matter of
courtesy TO Mr.. Mckinley. A rather
costly kind OF courtesy, say the tax
payers. We have, however, the
satisfaction of knowing that Minis
ter Cooper says we are in the right,
even If he did recommend the pay
ment OF the claim. Let us hope that
Mr.. Cooper shortly will be relieved
of all public responsibilities. He is
too often in the "right," and it is
mighty expensive to hold him there.

JOINT RICH COMMISSION.
SEALING QUESTION BELIEVED TO
De UNDER DISCUSSION,
Portion Of the Subject, Bat Mem
bers aad Clerks Are Resieent. De-
cIining TO Discuss Their Work.

QUEBEC. Ang ss-Tha Americans Of
the arbitration commission began their
lsbors al O'Clock this morning and by
themselves and In joint session have been
at work ali day. The joint session. which
began az Il O'clock. lasted until nsghtfall.
As usual. when the joint meeting closed
this evening. the commissioners reported
that they had gone through day Of very
hard work. and that good progress had
been made. Senator Fairbanks, of the
Americans. ard Lord Herscheil. Of the
Canadians, have been selected 20 give out
whatever there may be for the press. but
20 far there has been nothing which the
commission has considered IL wise 10 re-
veal. Whenever Lord Feracneli is asked
by the newspaper representatives. fer a
crumh OF news. he praises The good nature
and friendly attitude of the Americans
and whenever Senator Fairbanks IS press
ed for information he praises the friendli-
ness and hospitality OF the Canadians
But never one word escapes either as 10
what takes piaee behind the closed doors.
The secretaries and experts who are CON-
nectsd with the commission are equally
close-mouthed. One positive statement
was made. however. by Lord Hersehell to-
night. He said that 1t had been decided
that after the recess the conference would
continue a. Quebec. There has been some
talk about transferring the conference to
Washington or Ottawa. When the joint
committee meets, il sits continually from
Il o'clock until late In the afternoon, and
it's members have their lunch served them
In the parliament building. During all the
sessions secretaries and messengers are
kept on the jump for books and papers
concerning the subjects under discussion.
II Is known that books and documents re-
lating 20 Bering sea sealing questions have
been much In evidence in the joint meet
ing today. and Ii is inferred that this iIn-
portant question has been taken up.
Some of the Canadian authorities believe
the commissioners will never set beyond
the scaling question. They argue mat
last winter, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier at
that time would not enter into any settle
ment OF the Boring sea matter unless the
authorities at Washington were willing TO
take up and settle all other disputes, that
fthe men at Washington were unwilling 10
do SO The Canadians maintain that the
attitude OF both Americans and Canadians
is unchanged. Lord Herschell was asked
tonight If the committee would be able TO
Indicate what progress had been made or
wha. the probabilities were Of final settle
ulent Of the question before the recess TO
be taken on Friday next He replied that
probably nothing would be given out to
the public until the work was completed.
