LnnkING BOTH WAYS

On the LIST of January, 1900, the in
terest Of the civilized world was cen
tering in the character and career of
Napoleon BOnaparte. The young Cor
sican had not yet become Emperor of
the French. but having begun the most
brilliant campaign of his career, that of
Italy, he was taking on the reputation
and dignity of the first soldier of Eu-
rope and therefore of the world. From
then until the defeat at Waterloo. a
period of fifteen years. Napoleon stood
as the paramount historical figure OF
the nineteenth century. the most splen-
did, the most audacious, the most sue
cessful and inspiring of all the soldier
princes since the day of Caesar. Had
he not turned his back upon Robert
Fulton. the American who came TO him
with the steamboat in his brain, ne
might have died upon the one throne
of Europe, the undisputed master of
the continent and of the seas.
One hundred years ago Old World
civilization was confined to about the

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

The Board of Health celebrated the
going out Of the old and the COM
ing in of the new year, yesterday.
by the adoption and execution Of a
policy which will receive the hearty
endorsement of the people of Homo
lulu and Of Hawaii.
The feeling was becoming general in
the community that the measures
adopted by the Board to stamp out
the plague were not radical enough,
and it was with hearty satisfaction
that the news was received yesterday
that the Board had decided, upon each
case Of plague occurring, to immedi-
ately remove all well persons from the
building. as well as the patient, quar-
antine them and destroy the building
in which the case had occurred. This
is fighting the devil with fire In view
of the subtle character of the disease,
there is no safety in halfway meas
ures. Destruction is the only certain
disinfection. Yesterday a man died of
the plague on Nuuanu street at 10 a. m.
b. the middle of the afternoon eighty
residents of the immediate neighbor-
hood had been removed to quarantine
quarters and the block of buildings in
which the death took place was burned
to the ground. This is heroic treat
ment. but it is a policy which gives as
surance Of victory which no other does.
1t is a policy which carries conviction,
and so long as it is. vigorously and in
diligently carried out the Board can
count on the support of the press and
the community.

The proceedings of the Board Of
Health of Hongkong acquire a local
interest as showing how the British
authorities go about such work as is
being done in Honolulu. We notice
that the question of discriminating rats
is prominent in the Boards delibera-
tions and that the sanitarians have de-
cided that the only sure bait for rat
traps is raw meat. The hint ought not
to be lost on housewives who have
vanity tried to catch rats with poisoned
cheese and bread.
