The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-11-25

The large plantations on the island
of Oahu seem to have solved the labor
problem to some extent. The system of
working on shares satisfies the Iaborers
and gives them direct interest in the
work of the plantation. This is what
will solve the labor problem not only
here but in large part of the world.
To the eXertiOns of j. b. Anterior in
this direction muct credit is due He,
more than any man on the islands has
devoted himself to experimenting in
this direction, and his efforts have
caused others to follow where he has
led. There will be less talk of
slavery" and other rubbish of this
kind when the reports of the Managers
of Eva and Waialua become more
thoroughly understood.

THE PLAGUE.

The march of the bubonic plague
affords subject matter for comment in
a large number of European papers.
German, French, Russian and Spanish
have all something to say about it, and
in truth its ravages have been so seri-
Gus in the past, and are so frightful in
India at the present, that there is no
wonder that its progress is viewed with
alarm.
On this side of the globe, though there
is not the alarm felt in Europe, ample
care is taken against the introduction
of the disease. Every ship coming from
the Orient is carefully examined, and
the other day when a sudden death oc-
CURED on the Nippon Maru, the vessel
was held in quarantine in San Fran
cisco until the health authorities there
had satisfied themselves by means Of
an autopsy, that the cause of death was
not the bubonic plague.
What has specially reused the Euro
pean press is the fact that the British
government has failed in its attempt
to stamp out the disease in India,
though the authorities are showing
great zeal Then what has given cause
for further alarm is that it has landed
in Portugal and that it has crossed the
Russian border. In the latter case a
military Gordon was drawn round the
village where it broke out, and the dis
ease isolated to that one place, but it's
Virulence may be judged when out of
twenty patients, twenty-three
died.
But if it has been checked in Russia,
it is making Roadway in Portugal. In
one Portuguese village of four hun
dred inhabitants, fifty are down with
the plague. In Oporto the plague is
stated to be more virulent than in
Bombay, and the inhabitants are Civ
ing the authorities much trouble in car
rying out sanitary measures. So far,
according to Dr. Calmette, the director
of the Pasteur Institute at Lille, only
the poor have suffered; but now the SER
wants of the wealthy are also beginning
to catch the disease. A walk through
the filthy quarters of the poor explains
why they suffer most. They herd to-
gether with pigs, poultry, and rabbits
and rats abound. Rats and feas are
chiefly responsible for the spread of the
disease. Two to four cases are report

The great November star shower
passed before the Hawaiian Islands got
a chance of seeing them. But there was
considerable meteoric display in Russia

Cleveland, o., Dec. 1.-COrcerning the
reports which have been In circulation
for several weeks past TO the effect that
Senator Hanna would not succeed him
self as chairman of the national Re-
publican committee, II can be stated
on the authority Of Mr.. Hanna's most
intimate friends that he has no desire
TO manage another campaign, and that
unless very strong pressure Is brought
60 bear upon him he viii In all probable
fly decline TO do so. Notwithstanding
the published statements that many
leading Republicans throughout the
country ara opposed TO Mr., Hanna's re-
appointment as chairman Of the nation
al committee, Is Is known he Is almost
daily receiving from influential party
leaders, representing practically all sec
tions Of the country letters 10 the effect
that he has their fullest consideration
and support, and urging that he Is the
strongest available man for the place
Mr.. Hanna closest friends and the
members Of his own family believe,
however that the condition Of his
health is such that he should no, I'M
der any circumstances assume the re-,
sponsibility OF managing another pres,
identlal campaign, II has been sug-
gested that should Mr. Hanna decide
not to accept a reappointment as chair
man. that he be made a member OF the
executive committee. having personal
charge Of the campaign finances.
This would, Il is pointed out, relieve
MIR. Hanna Of the arduous duties de-
volving upon the chairman and at the
same time give the national committee
the benefit OF his experience and marked
success In raising funds.
