ORR Dirty TO THIS CITY.

The plague situation, since the great
fire in Chinatown, has gradually but
surely improved This is very crafty
ing. but it has an element of danger in
that the hard work of the sanitary in
spectors may be relaxed. Now, if ever
is the time to make sure that there
shall be no recrudescence Of the
plague; and the only way to reach that
result is TO exercise the sharpest vigil
lance. 1t would never do 70 have the
plague take a rest and then break out
again. Not only would that cost hui
man lives, but it would put destructive
weapons in the hands of those who
have no good will, commercially. for
things Hawaiian
Until the Board of Health officially
declares that danger has passed. there
should be no let-up in the work being
done; and even after that, as we take
1t, there will remain very much 20 en-
gage the study and zeal of sanitarians.
In Mondays paper there appeared a
letter from Mr.. w. F. c. Hasson, a
competent engineer, in which he point
ed out that things may get very bad
eventually in the older residence dis
tricts if something is not done to raise
cottages that rest directly upon the
ground or near enough there to pre-
vent the free play of air and the intro
ductiOn of an occasional sunbeam un-
der the basic flooring. There is prob
ably this writer says. mo outlying
part of the world where Anglo Saxons
live under such insanitary conditions
as in parts of Honolulu" This is
shocking, but too true. In consid-
cradle portion of the center of the city
every available piece of ground is oc-
cupied by cesspools and small cot
tages. the latter resting fiat on the
ground. These vine-covered. tree
shaded outhouses and cottages present
an attractive appearance, but it is a
matter of surprise that epidemic has
not yet taken it's place among them.
No system of sewerage will remove
from these localities the danger Of dis
ease arising, under favorable condi-
tons. from the saturated condition of
the subsoil. These places need air and
sunshine as much as Chinatown, where
the inevitable coming of disease was
merely FASTENED by a more crowded
population, hence a greater supply of
refuse in equal areas and more rapid
approximation of the subsoil"
These are words of truth and sober
ness and We hope they will not be for
gotten when Honolulu gets over its
present scare and Is in a position,
through municipal powers or other
wise, TO arrange for the future. There
must be complete sewer system; ev-
cry house occupied for lodgings or
business and every kitchen must COM
municate with it; owners must be COM
PEELED, If their houses or tenements
rest on the ground, to raise them: cess
pools OF whatever nature must be abol-
ished; the construction of human bee
hives, for Asiatics or others, must be
prohibited. If we secure these ordi-
nances and enforce them-saying moth.

The plan of having Russian peasant

A Sneak's Attack.

Under date, March goth, a sneak writ
ing from Dickinson to the Fargo Forum,
under the designation of "R%anchetus"
states "that general rejoicing in Stark
county is caused by an order of Judge
Bartholemew's regarding certain wit
nesses in the Simpson case" Of course
everyone in Dickinson knows the old
fellow who wrote the article. He should
mustered manhood enough if it was in
him to have signed his W name. No
one was deceived by the assumed.
Judge Bartholomew has made no or
der, as yet regarding the witnesses, and
certainly had not on March goth. This
old fellow all through the proceedings
in the case had seemed to take great
pride in telling what Judge Bartholomew
was going to do in advance of its being
done. 1t would be better to wait until
the entire supreme court had decided the
matter. 1t is certain the whole commu-
nity is, and has been with Mr.. Simpson.
The only lawyer in the state, Simpsons
| accusers could enlist in their behalf was
Populist Newton who left the Missouri
slope after the people had numerically
sat down on him when he ran against
Judge Winchester for judge OF this dis
trict. Newton was an unsuccessful can
didate for most every office within reach
when a resident in this district and had
a deep seated grievance against Simpson
because he always opposed him.

announce the death of my father, Mr..
Gregor Lang, who died suddenly en- the
q inst, in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he
had gone to visit for the winter with his
daughter Mrs. D. F. Wishart. My faith
er had been ailing up to a month ago
when he was pronounced we'll. The sad
news of his decease was announced to
me by cable a few days ago in the east
when | at once started for Yule to break
the news to my family. The blow was a
heavy one being so utterly unexpect-
ed; but at this time no particulars are
forthcoming or can be until letters have
had time to reach here from Europe.
My father settled in Billings county in
1883 and was 60 years of age at the time
of his death.
