Ine suggestion that grip patients he
quarantined is ridiculous and impractica-
ble Without question the disease is among
us In an epidemic form, but to talk of iso-
iatihg lts victims Is equivalent to propos-
ing that all business and social relations
snail cease while an experimental preyen-
tative against its spread is tried by medi-
cal men. With all due respect to physicians
ana psychologists the grip appears to be
an elusive aff1iction that is not thoroughlv
understood. by practitioners, but the ma
Jority of physicians agree that it is due
to a germ which floats through the air.
If the bacillus of influenza is transmitted
in this way, the proposal to isolate grip
victims would seemingly be of as much
value as to strain water through a cloth
to prevent typhoid fever.

The change in the weather is welcome
for many reasons. The clearing of the
skies brought hope to many heavy hearts,
depressed by th= persistent Interference of
tue elements with the Christmas shopping.
Journeys to the stores during the first
four days of this week involved danger of
colds and grip, ana many people were in
no condition to run such risks. Much
valuable time was thus lest. The mer-
chants, too, welcomed the sun with glad
ness, for the same reason. They have, of
course felt the difference between Christ
mas buying under the handicap of fog and
rain and th= seasons business with dry
streets and clear skies and good air. 1t is
to be hoped for all concel ned that these
last two days will help TO make up what
ever deficit the sogginess of the early part
of the week caused. But best of all is the
opportunity which the passing of the storm
gives 10 those who have been suffering dur
ing the week from the December aches
and sneezes and coughs. Ths grip has
played havoc with the people of Washing
ton during these days of dampness. Those
who were forced to go abroad were in dan
ger of succumbing to the malevolent in
fuance, while those who were recovering
rom attacks of this ailment could not
safely venture forth 10 fill their lungs with
the fresh air Of outdoors. Now that the
spell of weather has been broken, it is
to be hoped that there will be no recur-
rance this season, but that the grip will be
shaken off for all winter. The thunder
claps which reverberated through the skies
yesterday eV ening were, perhaps the part
Ing signal of the gloomy visitor making its
way to some other region for little pre-
holiday visitation. If so 1t was a most

Whatever the verdict of the coron-
er's jury may be in the case of the
two men who were killed by live
wire on Friday night, it is undoubted-
ly the duty of the government to have
the wires and insulators properly and
thoroughly examined by impartial eX-
perts. Since citing two cases of bro
ken wires in Pauoa, The Star learns
that week or two ago the wire near
the tram terminus at Punahou fell
down, and it was only by a very mar
row margin that the driver was able
to pull up his mules before going over
it. Another case cited is that of a
young lady who suffered a severe
shock from going over "A wire on her
bicycle. How many more close calls
there may have been, one cannot say.
But each of those cited is fully vouch-
ed for.

1t is more than probable that there
will be an investigation called for by
the newspapers of the mainland into
the reasons for the i'll health of the
men at Camps Otis and Mckinley.
When the sanitary conditions are eX-
planned, as undoubtedly they will be
by the many correspondents here,
when the death statistics of the popu-
lation are compared with the death
statistics of the camps, and when the
number of typhoid fever cases comes
to be known, there VIII be a howl rails
ed that will have to be heard, and close

held responsible and have to suffer for

itary conditions, would still be etfec

useful citizens, and who have been

LOST-A PARK.

At the last meeting of the Legisla-
ture the question of public recreation
grounds was very fully discussed. 1t
was pointed out that out at Palama
there was no recreation ground for
the children, and that very large
number of children lived there and
were obliged to play in the streets and
lanes. The views of the House and the
Senate were almost unanimous upon
the point and the whole city press adj
vocated the matter in its editorial col
umns, its local columns and among its
correspondence. Probably there was
no measure about which so much
unanimity was shown.
There was also an expressed desire
that certain land at Makiki should be
set aside for similar purpose. About
the title of this land there was some
hitch, but a special committee was APP
pointed to look the matter up, and the
records were carefully scrutinized,
and it was reported that the right of
the government to the land was per-
fectly clear.
Thereupon the two original bills,
one for land at Palama, and one for
land at Malliki, were merged into one,
which stands on the statute book as
Act 20, and was signed by the Presi-
dent on May IA, 1898.
Section 1 of the act reads that all
the following properties situated at
Kaliu and Maliild, Honolulu, are here
by declared and made free public rec
reation grounds. The boundaries are
pointed to look the matter up, the
names are set down as "River Park"
and "Mal<iki Park"
Section 2 authorizes and directs the
Minister of Interior to convert all
this property into free and public rec
reation grounds, and "to maintain the
same as such for the use and benefit of
the public"
One would think that all this was
clear and explicit, and that upon so
popular matter and one which was
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-10-25

proposed especially for the benefit of
the children of the poor, that the Min
lister of Interior would have at once
set about doing something for these
grounds. If the Minister of Interior
was oblivious of his duties in this re-
spect, at least the Board of Education
might have called his attention to
what was required, for its members
are the natural guardians of the chill
dren of the poor. But no one seems
to have given the matter a thought,
and, just as some time ago a Minister
proved himself unfamiliar with his
own appropriation bill, so an official
of the Interior Department proved
himself unfamiliar with the statutes
of 1898, and was convinced that no
such act as No. 20 existed.
The status of the land at Kalui, to
be known as "River Park" has been
thus explicitly shown at length. be-
cause it is desirable that there should
be no doubt about what it is and ought
to be- Now as to what the Interior De-
partment is really doing with River

ing down grass; getting the children
to play ball and spin tops; putting in
few seats and so forth. Well not eX-
actly. The department is of prac-

and from to feet deep. and dump
ing the contents upon the adjacent
roads. The economy here displayed
is phenomenal So many cubic feet of
earth are taken out, in order that they
may be filled up again afterwards, at
so much per load. Or perhaps it is the
intention of the Minister of Interior
to construct a miniature lake and to
have free bathing. But who is going
to supply the little boys and girls with
bathing suits? Or yet again, the Min
lister may be looking forward to an
epidemic and is preparing cheap
grave. Now whose business is it UNI
der the very irresponsible rule that we
are at present under to make the Min
lister or the Cabinet carry out the law?
