The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-12-27

The Democratic party has decided up
on the course it will follow with regard
to the Philippines. 1t suggests that an
independent government be recognized
upon condition that said Independent
government undertakes to return the
500, OOO 900 paid out to Spain by the Unit
ed States. The proposition is not very
dignified one, moreover it is not clear
that there is any government at all.
Aguinaldo's government has melted
away like snow, and there is nothing of
it left. 1t will be very difficult to find
anything to recognize, and it will be
still more difficult to find any one to
guarantee $2O,OO0,OOO. The Stars and
Stripes once having risen over the Phil
ippines VIII have to stay there.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-12-27
CONGESTION.

The congestion of freight on the
wharves and of shipping in the harbor
is quite serious thing. OF course the
necessity of fumigating freight from
the Orient adds very much to the trou-
BILE, since the appliances for fumigation
are inadequate to the strain now being
put upon them.
The commercial activity of this port
is simply marvellous. No one would
have credited the immense expansion of
trade which has taken place within the
last eighteen months or so, had he been
told it at the commencement of the
period. The trade has, in point of fact,
outgrown the facilities. This morning
forty-one deep water vessels were re-
ported in the harbor, and more are ex-
pected daily.
Some source will have to be adopted
for improving the unloading facilities
and a scheme for harbor improvement
is sadly in need of being pushed for
ward At present matters are at a
standstill till Washington can be heard
| from. 1t is a great disadvantage to us
|
with the Central Government. At the
very best it takes a communication
twelve days to reach Washington and
twelve days to return. Then there is
the time consumed in the consideration
of the subject matter and the chance of
just missing the return down steamer.
If Congress will only give us our or
10,
stand we would be in q much better
position to meet our troubles on the
water front. 1t must be realized that
year by year there will an ever increas-
ing commerce passing through the har-
Dor, and that make shift dock accom-
provements must be of broad charac-
ter suited to meet the future. Among
| the present necessities are certainly
better facilities for fumigating freight
We shall probably be required to fumi-
gate for a considerable time to come.
In connection with the fumigation it
is necessary to point out that the
freight which is to be fumigated should
be isolated while waiting it's turn. 1t
looks very much like locking the stable
door after the horse has been stolen, to
allow the wharf rats and water side
/ loafers free access to the unfumigated
freight, among which they carry on
their little gambling games and upon
which they lie a ready prey to any cr-
rant microbes that may be in the
freight. AS most of this style of gentry
goes barefoot, its members are peculiar.
ly liable to be inoculated with the dis
ease. There should be strict isolation
of this freight.

OUR PROSPECTS.

Senator Cullom, in a recent interview
published in the Chicago Tribune, spoke
in the most sanguine manner about the
bill. There was a division of opinion
as to Porto Rico and the Philippines,
but there was very little about Hawaii
according to his opinion.
The Senator very justly states that
it is very unfair to put the inhabitants
of Hawaii on the same plane as the peo-
pie of Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Having been here and seen for himself
he knows what he is talking about. He
is in thorough accord with the argu-
ment so often made in these columns
as to the degree of literacy among the
Hawaiians and the Portuguese. He
quotes the fact that over IS per cent of
Hawaiian children go to school and are
taught in English and he makes a
strong point when he says why then
should they not be put on the same
plane with the children of thousands
who come to us each year utterly ignor-
ant of the English language, knowing
nothing of American customs and car
ing less"
The Senator calculates that about So
600 of the residents of Hawaii will be-
come American citizens and that this
number will give about 10000 electors
who will be entitled to participate in
the government of the Islands. OF
course Of this body the preponderance
will Hawaiians and part Hawaiians
and he points out that in this there is
fancied danger on the part of some
a danger, in his opinion, that is With
out rhyme, reason or fact"
1t is a good thing for Hawaii that it
has so strong a friend in the Senate as
Senator Cullom, who will voice upon its
floor views such as these. He is strong
in his view that Hawaii is entitled to a
delegate in the House of Representa-
tives to voice her will, and says 1T may
be laid down as a general principle of
our form of government that no body
of people existing within the jurisdic-
ton of our laws and governed by us
should be denied the right of represen-
tation in the popular branch Of Con-
gress."
With such an advocate who Gan put
forth such liberal views in so forcefu
a manner Hawaii's position before Con-
gress is a strong one and we may look
for an early contamination of our most
ardent hopes.

A correspondent makes suggestions
with regard to the campaign against
the plague which will be heartily en-
dorsed by most people. Cleanliness is
the weapon to fight a filth disease with.
If conditions here are so maintained
that plague germs cannot get foot
hold, we will be able to defy the attacks
of the insidious foe. The experience OF
Southern cities in fighting yellow fever
is well cited. That foe has been prac-
tically beaten by a campaign Of clean
illness. AS stated yesterday, it is not
only Honolulu and its environs that
should be cleaned, but the villages
throughout the Island should be attend
ed to. There are numerous Chinese and
japanese shacks in every district that
are indescribably filthy and which will
prove ready disseminators of disease.

with the beginning of the first day in
it's first year and does not end till the
close of the last day in its hundredth
year" This ought to be authoritative,
but those who have a theory upon the
point are hard to convince.
Another way of dealing with the
question would be to make two squares
with ten dots to each line. One square
would represent d. c., the other A. D.
In such case the first year would start
with b. c. 100 and gradually decrease
till it reached b. c. 1. In the other II
will start with A. ID. 1 and increase till
it reaches A. D. 100 and the close of the
first century Where the year comes
i'm one finds very hard to locate.

THE END OF THE CENTURY.

The Reverend DR.. Bishop has pro-
pounded theory, which will be found
in another column. 1t is a theory, with
the same mathematical appearance Of
accuracy which has been put forth at
the end of every century, but unfor
tunately our Libraries here do not give
us data from which to quote. However,
the controversy is no new one. Mr..
Bishops year is a very pretty theore-
tical idea, but unfortunately it does not
exist and never has existed If Mr..
Bishop can point to any event which
occurred in his theoretical year 0, he
viii very much oblige number of peo-
pie, not only here, but in every part of
the world.
For instance it does not require great
research to show that Quintus Varrus
was appointed Governor of Judea in
the year b. c. and that Caius Caesar
made peace with the Parthians in the
year l A. d. According to Mr.. Bishop
those events would be seven years
part, which they certainly are not.
However, without going into detail
one may safely take the authority of
the Standard Dictionary. That work
