so occupied all over the city is valued
at millions of dollars. But as the
owner of nearly every building in the
city has violated the law, any attempt
now made to recover the city's rights

property owners stand together in
preventing any action being taken
against themselves.
This case was cited, some years ago,
by noted writer on self government.

DEFACING THE STREETS.

We republish, i'll another column, the
law forbidding the affiXing of posters
and advertisements on buildings,
bridges, fences and trees without per
mission of the owners; also the law
regulating the limits of encroach-
ments on the streets, in fixing awnings,
shades, or balconies. The placing OF
signs is also carefully regulated by
law.
The attention of this paper his been
called to the many violations OF these
laws On inspection and inquiry, 1t
appears that these laws, although
dead letters, are not enforced as they
should be.
There is a disposition in all places
70 encroach on public property, TO OBJ
struct the streets and roads, in the in
terests of trade. Unless public SEN
timent calls for strict enforcement
of Inc laws. in this regard, unlawful
occupation becomes finally so general,
and so many people are guilty of vio-
lating them, it is impossible TO enforce
the laws, without causing much incon-
yenience, and loss of money. 1t is
important, therefore, TO promptly en-
force these laws, before they become
obsolete.
a remarkable instance of the conse-
quences of neglecting to enforce these
rules, which forbid encroachments on
public property, is seen in the city OF
New York. The people have paid full
value for all land taken for streets.
The city, representing the public, holds
as public trust. the soil from house
line to house line. Many years ago,
the Common Council of the city grant
ed licenses, without legal authority to
do so, to the owners of buildings to
construct vaults for storage and other
purposes underground and far into the
streets. The courts have declared that
this occupation is illegal; that no in
dividuaI has the right to occupy for
private use, any land belonging to the

A NEW CATTLE DISEASE.

In number OF places in the State
of California, the cattle are dying from
a disease which the veterinary doctors
term anthrax. In the northern part
of the State there was a quarantine
established against the cattle of the
disease prevailed, but it was removed
owing to the lack of food in the lower
counties. The disease is spreading
The only effective method, so far dis
is to XIII each animal afflicted with
the disease and burn the carcass.
This disease, also, is fatal to man.
The attention of the Board of Health
has been called TO this disease. There
is a constant importation of cattle
from the Coast, and in spite of the
closest vigilance, there is danger that
infected stock may be landed here.
The condition of stock in some of
our Islands is deplorable, and may in
time cause a meat famine. The price
of beef has already risen, and should
| it reach higher figures. it will make ii
| impossible for the laborers on the
plantations to use meat, at the present
rate of wages.
The disease known as the ''fiuke''

market. 1t continues to spread, and
sadly discourages the ranchmen

The reception and entertainment Of
Miss Rose OF Hilo, by the residents Of
Topeka, Kansas, is quite enough evil
dence TO convince the native Hawai-
ians that the people Of America, as
rule. do not place them on the level
Of the negroes, in social matters
1t is perhaps safe TO say, that noL
a community in the States would to-
lerate for an instant, the proposition
70 receive with honors, any girl with
any negro blood in her veins Last
year, the female students of Vassar
college protested against permitting a
girl to remain in the college, when it
was discovered that she had a negro
origin. She was so white in color,
that, during a long residence with the
students, this origin had not been de-
tected. When it was discovered, the
unreasoning prejudices of a class of
most excellent young women, was
aroused, and many of them behaved
like savages.
1t is well known to those who are
familiar with the social life of the
Southern States, that some of the most
accomplished, brilliant, and beautiful
women have negro blood in their
veins, but are utterly and permanent
ly barred out from the social life OF
the whites. Some of these women
have been educated in Paris, and in
manners, musical talent, wit, and all
social gifts are the peers of their
white sisters But the negro faint.

condemns them to social exile, and, too
often, to immoral lives In this whole
educated women, simply because OF
the single drop of negro blood, one
may see an illustration of what we so
often consider in this paper, the force
of national habits and instincts.
While there is, we believe, no COM
munity on the Mainland that would
tolerate the idea of receiving or
honoring the most beautiful, refined,
and educated quadroOn, We see thou

in her veins.
So far as the natives are concerned,
it is fortunate that it is so. 1t puts
forever at rest the doubts which the
friends of the natives, those people
who have always given the natives
bad advice-have constantly stirred
I'D regarding the attitude of the Amer
leans towards them. 1t shows that
the Americans have no prejudices
against the natives, by reason of color.
The people of Topeka, representa-
tive city in the crankiest of all States,
have our thanks for giving us this
illustration Of a condition of things,
which could not be proved by mere
talk and assertion. The most of us
were tempted TO smile at the willing
ness of Miss Rose TO exhibit herself
at a show in Topeka. She has,
however, done excellent work, and
settled it that the native woman will
not suffer from the blind, and sense
less prejudice against color.
