A SUGGESTION.

President Mckinley has appointed d
medical commission to go to the Orient
to investigate the diseases prevalent
there, and this will result in a perma-
nent Oriental station at which all i'm
migrants for the mainland and pre-
sumably for these Islands will be OBJ
liged to pass on examination before
embarking.
In this connection there is a sugges-
tion which is we'll worth consideration.
The present visitation of plague in Ho-
nolulu, has developed the fact that
none of our physicians are practically
acquainted with this disease, though of
course they all have a theoretical
knowledge of it. Would it not be a
good thing to have some one or two
of the local doctors go to the East and
study the special diseases of the Ori-
ent. Such a study would not merely
consist of looking over a few hospitals
but would entail careful practical
work in them. The Islands could well
afford to set aside a sum of money for
the purpose, and there are plenty Of
able men in the profession who could
find leisure for the pursuit
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-12-14

The captain of the Sherman seems to
have suffered from panic when he heard
of bubonic plague here. When the tug
went along side he would not allow her
even to throw rope on board. Now in
Honolulu the plague is being handled
in the most approved manner and Is
segregated according to the most mod
ern principles. Troopships leave here
and go into Manila where they run up
against all kinds of disease as small
pox, plague, fevers and so forth, and
there is no such precaution there about
taking a rope from some musty tug
that may meet them with any or all such
diseases. Proper precaution is thing
TO be commended, but panic upon hear
ing that a disease is on land, which is
being held in hand by competent auth
critics, is quite another thing.

HOPEFUL.

No more cases have developed within
the last twenty-four hours and every
thing looks very hopeful. The Board
of Health and it's volunteers keep up
the good work Of cleaning up the pur-
lieus of Chinatown and improving the
sanitary condition of the city. 1t really
looks as if the energy shown was to
be rewarded and that the plague was
caught in time. Every credit is due 10
all who have engaged in this war
against disease. There have been deaths
and cases of sickness but none can be
attributed to the plague.

COMMERCIAL MORALITY.

The average opinion of Japanese
commercial morality is very low. The
editor of 1.-THE Orient" sets forth the
case of his countrymen in very clear
terms and it is interesting to read the
argument he puts forth. AnoM
The writer who discusses the poipt
shows that formerly it was considered
disgrace to be a merchant. He was
regarded as considerably lower than the
agriculturalist or common field daborer
From this one gathers that Ichigawa
with only pair of trousers and a hoe,
is the superior to Iwakami who has
store and a large quantity of goods.
Then again the writer shows that the
opinion of japanese regarding the
trading foreigner was extremely low.
He was regarded as greedy, barbar-
GUS illiterate and licentious," which
probably was a fair estimate of the six
teenth century foreigner who went to
Japan, and might probably stand as a
picture of some foreigners of the nine
teenth.
The argument then points out that
only the lowest class of the merchants
had any dealings with foreigners, and
that these people desired Roland for
an Oliver" and We're ever striving to
"do up" the stranger. Whereas among
the Japanese themselves the strctest
principles were adhered to, in their
treatment of foreigners japanese mer-
chants failed to observe the required
moral standard, simply because they
believed or claimed to believe that
those with whom they dealt were bar
barians, enemies at heart of Japan.
From the fact that only the lowest
class dealt with the foreigner, and that
the foreigner found these men shifty
and untrustworthy the idea of lax COM
mercial morality grew. And the Jap
anese writer says he does mot hesitate
to attribute to it the very long period
it took in order to secure a revision of
the treaties with Japan's foreign allies"
But having admitted this much the
writer points out that times have
, changed. That the merchants rank
much higher than they did formerly,
that it is no longer considered a proper
lnlHS 10 uO up lne IOISlSHSlJ lldt TIE
monetary system has been improved,
that the banks are on a sound basis,
and the equals of those abroad and that
laws have been enacted to ensure up
rightness and integrity.
| Though there is still room for i'm
provement, the argument is held that
wonderful advance has been made,
and that with the equality brought
about under the revised treaties, COM
mercial morality will eventually come
to a high standard in the land of the
Mikado.
! 1t is certainly interesting to note that
/ young Japan, as represented by the
Orient" realizes the faults of its coun-
! trymen, points out why they exist and
| has hope of a commercial regeneration.

THE MESSAGE.

The portions of the message which
interest US most are those referring to
Hawaii to the rans-Pacific cable and
the Nicaragua Canal. The first i; vital
to us for our political future, the two
others are vital to our commercial fU-
ture.
Upon the Hawaiian Territorial Bill
the President is not very explicit. He
shows the disadvantages under which
the Hawaiian Islands are now laboring,
and the hardship entailed by Congress
having failed to act at last session, and
he urges upon the present Congress the
Importance of acting as speedily as
possible. He does not, however, outline
any particular policy with regard to
the Islands, this will undoubtedly be
set forth by Senator Cullom who is
Hawaiis sheet anchor in her desire to
become territory and to have as large
a measure of local disagreement ss
possible.
The recommendation with regard to
the cable is very important If Con-
gress should fail to give an appropria-
tion for laying the cable under direct
government control it is urged that the
Postmaster General be authorized to
invite competitive bids for the estab-
lishment of the cable" This is signi-
ficant, and it is very probable that in
this manner the cable will be laid.
There will be a strong effort made to
induce Congress to pass such an auth
OriZation
The Importance Of the Nicaragua
Canal is especially dwelt upon. In
has been done, and what is now be-
ing considered. Admiral Walker spent
a considerable part of the summer IN
studying the canal systems of Europe
and the commission is now on the
ground. The President says that the
importance of the work cannot be too
often or too strongly expressed" There
is a ring about the words which shows
how dear the project is to the heart of
the executive.
Given these three things and Hawail's
future is a very bright one indeed The
first, viz: our political status, we are
pretty we'll assured of. Exactly in what
form the Hawaiian territorial bill VIII
emerge from Congress it is impossible
to say. Those who ought to know think
that very little change will be made in
it, Whatever form in comes in, it will
be a boon asputtlng an end to period

4 uncertainty which is very trying up

Of uncertainty which is very trying up
on all.
The cable we may probably get in
less than couple of years. If 1t Is laid
directly by the government 1t will take
fully that time, as 1t will have to be
manufactured in the United States. II
it is laid by a private company the
the material could be obtained from
abroad, where there is a quantity of
surplus cable on hand
The Nicaragua Canal must be looked
for in the future. Forming a govern
ment or laying a cable are compare
lively light matters, but the building
of an inter-oceanic canal is a very diff
ferent affair, demanding enormous out
lay, the best of engineering skill and
involving the very serious element of
time. But when the canal is completed
Hawaii, with cable to her shores, will
become the very center Of commercial
| Importance in the Pacific Ocean, and
one of the main centers of the COM
merce of the whole world.
To the dreamer the vision of the flu
ture of Hawaii is a very rosy one. The

and by a cable to the mainland. The
ships of every maritime nation fire.

and teeming population with a ready
market for every kind of produce. The
wealth of the West and the riches of
the East will pass through our ports
and will leave a golden toll. 1t will
surely come-But when?
