THE LOCAL EMERGENCY.

While the bubonic plague is a
serious matter the probability is that
no white person who takes proper pre-
cautions will catch II. In ports where
the disease Is common the white in
habitants do not show much concern.
The other day the Advertiser received
. paper from Kobe, Japan, announcing
the presence of the plague in that city.
The news was not given first place in
the paper and there were no signs Of
public apprehension in the mannsr in
which the facts were set forth. The
story was as free from alarm as If It
had concerned an increase in pulmon-
airy troubles. II. in place where the
buboaic plague is more or less famil-
lar the white population takes 1t calm
ly. there is no reason why the same
glasses in Hawaii should become panic
stricken. We are frightened, II at all
because we do not know; our neigh
bors of the Orient are not frightened.

Encouragement may be drawn from
our experience in the cholera epidemic.
Cholera Is a thing which attacks a
score of whites where bubonic plague
reaches one. Yet only two white peO-
ple fell victims to cholera in these
Islands. II people are reasonable now;
II they avoid evil resorts and alco-
irolic drinks; II they keep their Chin
csc and japanese servants away from
the Oriental quarter and avoid the
place themselves; IL they insist on alb
solute cleanliness of person and prem
ises; II they do not Over-eat, over-sx-

of common sense precautions and regu

In the meantime the city must b'
cleansed and quarantined. There is ;
present and urgent need of volunteers
to make thorough canvass OF thu
town, to help the physicians and to as

The strain between Great Britain
and France continues. 1t has been
increased by menacing speech of Mr..
Chamberlain which caused the French
ambassador to return to Paris. The
British ambassador will, in turn, APP

One more death from the plague in
creases the mortality to six. This
sums up the losses since Monday
night. making an average of less than
two per day. People die faster than
that from epidemics which cause no
public scare. AS the Board of Health
is cleaning all the infected places as
they were never cleansed before the
public may, without undue optimism,
look for still lower death rate during
the next three and one-half days.

The Presidents reference to Hawaii is
not as comprehensive as We could wish
but Ii is step towards the final adj
justment of our political status. The
San Francisco Chronicle treats It as

Things are about as they were in
South Africa, although there are dis
quieting suggestions from Ladysmith
where the Beers appear to be concen-
trating. The gravity of the war is i'm
pressing itself more strongly on the
British who, 1t Is said, are preparing
to supersede General Sir Redvers Bull
Ter with Lord Roberts of Kandahar.
Sir Redvers Butler is slow in getting to
the front but he could probably arrive
there far in advance of Lord Roberts
who is now in Ireland. The point
seems to be that bigger man is want
ed for the job.

The losses of the British at the bat
tie of the Modder river show total Of
70 killed, 372 wounded and missing.
Nothing could testify more clearly TO
the craftsmanship Of the Beers, while
the fact that the Queens soldiers won
in spite of it gives proof Of their ex-
ceptional courage. Both sides are find
ing foemen worthy Of their steel.

New York also has touch of the
bubonic plague and the yellow prints
are making the most Of 1t. So far the
deaths have been no more than two or
three. which Is about the record of
banana-peel fatalities in the summer
time. 1t is singular with what equa-
nimity a town will stand hundred
deaths from the grip and how quickly
1t will go wild over less than half
dozen from some more mysterious

The Supreme Court has decided
against the constitutionality of The
Pipe Manufacturers combine, one of
the greatest of the newly-created
trusts. This is rightly interpreted as
a body blow to combinations in res
traint OF trade and will go far to
strengthen the hands OF Congress in
the effort to improve the Interstate
Commerce law. That such an effort
will be made is supposable as the Re
publicans naturally want to do all they
