wild and shy and the flesh dark col

and quite domestic in their nature, and

the guinea are of smaller size than

nest of the common hen, while the
pearl-colored hen wanders away to
some lone and almost inaccessible spot
to deposit her eggs. The guinea is
quick to detect danger or an enemy
and the appearance of a hawk, crow
or weasel, calls forth shrill, discord-
ant cries which put the enemy to flight
before the owner can appear on the

QUASI QUARANTINE.

Time and again have the quarantine
arrangements of the Board of Health
been called into question. They should
be either carried out fully or not at, all.
1t is utterly ridiculous to allow a dozen
or so people to go aboard and refuse
others whose business is equally i'm
portant, permission to do so. If every
body is to be prevented from going on
board no one will growl or complain.
But what more chance is there of the
purser carrying contagion in his office,
or the same man talking on the wharf?
What more contagion can be carried by
a passenger on the deck, or the same
passenger walking around town and
driving in hacks or tramcars? .
The whole community is one when
there is any real danger, and it has
shown that it can bear even heroic
Treatment without a murmur. But it
is one thing to obey strict orders, and
another to make fish of one and fowl
of another. People are not disposed to
sit down under such treatment without
expressing an opinion and the time will
come when they will express that opin-
ion with a vote.
The personnel of the Board of Health
is composed of good and sensible men,
and one is strongly disposed to support
them, but it is inconceivable how they
let such system of quasi quarantine
be permitted. 1t shows such an utter
lack of common sense that one doubts
whether the members are acquainted
with the facts. Were they, they would
not make such a laughing stock of
themselves. Some weeks ago, when a
similar case occurred, there was a dis
tinct promise of amendment, but prom

TEACHERS COTTAGES.

When a school house is erected upon
be a teachers cottage erected at the
same time. AS things are now, it is
next to impossible for a teacher to OBJ
tain board and lodging among those
who are employed on the plantation.
This housing of teachers is one of the
great problems of the board. 1t is ex-
pensive to put up cottages, and it is
expensive for teachers to adequately
furnish their cottage and keep it run
ming.
When a teacher has his own cottage
he is in a great measure independent
If he lives in a plantation cottage he
is by no means independent. He is
merely a tenant at will, and should he
get into any serious disagreement with
the manager, he may, as has happened
before now, have notice that the prem
Uses he is occupying are needed by the
plantation for their employees.
In city or town board is obtainable.
1t is in Honolulu; it is in Hilo. But
outside of these two places it is practi-
cally impossible to find either board or
lodging. In 1887 there were hardly
any schools which had cottages to go
with them. At the present time most
of them ought to be supplied because
new school house in the country
ought always to entail a house, and a
very large number have been put up
during the last twelve years.
A case of erecting a school house
without a proper cottage is reported
from plantation near Honolulu. If
such is the case this has been a dis
tinct oversight on the part of the Off
Gals of the board. Experience ought
to have, by this time, taught thin the
absolute necessity of such a provision
if they desired to have their school
taught by teachers who wished to live
decently, as well as teach ably.

1t is not pleasant thing to hear Of
traitors, but two deserters from
the California regiment seem to have
gone over to the Filipino forces and to
have met death fighting against their
own countrymen. 1t Is not only the
disgrace to themselves, which these
two unfortunates eXpiated by their
death, but it is the disgrace they bring
upon all who belong to them. To lose
a son or brother is sad, but when he
falls fighting the battles of his country
honor gives balm to the wound. But
when the death comes with disgrace 1t
is doubly hard to bear. A traitor has

DIVISION.

Abraham Lincoln's story of not
swapping horses while crossing
stream is one which should be taken to
heart by a great many citizens who
are willing to sink their own political
differences for the public good.
That there has been intrigue going
on in the cabinet for some time has
been known to we'll informed persons.
When a Cabinet Minister returned
from Hilo, and carried through the
cabinet council the vote for placing a
section of loan fund under the direct
management of the Hiio Road Board,
instead of leaving it under the control
of the Minister of Interior, the move
was one directed against Minister King
with the object of annoying him so
seriously that he would resign. But,
as is also well known, to those posted
in these matters, this vote was not
carried unanimously.
Minister King has filled his position
acceptably to the public. When he
Joined the Cabinet, in its dark and
have him. He was a source of strength,
and his sterling virtues were appre-
ciated, as they are today, by a large
circle outside the Cabinet and outside
the politicians. Now that the days of
smooth sailing have arrived, when
there are no more riots to be feared,
and when it is no longer necessary to
he
der, it looks very much as if Captain
King could be thrown overheard and
a fair weather sailor could take the
place of the brave and bluff old salt.
1t is a pity that there should be dis
agreement which has had to come to
the surface, because this is no time to
divide. The Cabinet should go through
to the end as a unit, whatever their
personal ambitions and likes and dis
likes may be. And knowing about the
intrigue, The Star on March Bird, in
commenting upon President Doles ar
ticle in Harper's Weekly, pointed out
the danger of change, and laid special
stress upon the necessity of no cabinet
change.
But there is not likely to be any
change if Minister King himself re-
mains firm, and does not resign of his
own accord. Article 81 of the Consti-
tuition says that 1.-The President with
the approval of three members of the
Cabinet may remove any member Of
the Cabinet" AS the case stands at
present, the Cabinet stands exactly di-
vided. Minister King is not likely TO
vote himself out.
The effect of Cabinet changes at this
moment would be to weaken our posi-
tion materially Apart from the per-
sonal interests of the various Cabinet
officers, in which the public can take
but small interest, it is to the interest
OF the state that united front should

be kept up until the territorial organic
law can be obtained. The same men
who worked for annexation should now
work together for the next great object.
To have disintegration now is to show
that however brave and skillful in
fight our leaders may have been, they
are but i'll disciplined, and begin to
divide the spoil before victory is fully
obtained. The rank and file are will

The letter from a soldier fighting be-
fore Manila will create a sensation
when it reaches the mainland. The
story he tells of the mutilation of the
wounded, supported as it is by the ev-
idence of returned soldiers, will arouse
a terrible feeling throughout the length
and breadth of the United States. Such
work is so repugnant to Anglo-Saxon
nature, that it makes him loathe and
detest any enemy who is capable of
such atrocity. 1t is this trait in the
Indian character which has made the
dead Indian to be regarded as the only
good kind of Indian. And the Indian
did not have the educational advant-
ages of the Filipino. 1t is to be feared
that the Filipino grows worse the bet
ter he is known.
