some very interesting and curious facts
about individual lepers, facts which do
not exist. Still the tone of the article
is good and on the whole gives a not
inaccurate view of the subject.

FALSE IMPRESSIONS.

-.e ArgOnaut has a very lurid article
upon the plague in Honolulu. 1t says
the people are panic-stricken, and are
vainly striving to get out of the city,"
and also provisions are running low,
and famine is threatened" Neither of
these statements is correct. Outside of
a few tourists who have departed to
the mainland, there never has been
any panic. Our citizens when they
found that plague was in their midst
never lost their heads, but set to work
to assist the Board of Health in every
possible way to stamP out the plague.
There never was a city where the
dreaded destroyer gained entrance
where there was less of panic than In
Honolulu. The city has been districted
and there has been a house to house
examination twice a day. For this
work, which is entirely voluntary,
young men and elderly men, business
men, and professional me-. have alike
come forward and cheerfully given
their time. Employers have arranged
their business hours in such a manner
as to allow their clerks and themselves
time to perform this work.
The strictest quarantine has been OBJ

AN EXPENSIVE MONTH.

For the first time in many months
the current expenditures have exceeded
the current receipts. January shows
an income of $157, 2S3.19 and an expen-
ditUre of $166S47.99 on current account.
OF course this was to be expected, and
it is fortunate that our finances have
been so managed that we have a bal
ance in the treasury to meet the de-
felt. ..t .-.,..
The income for the first month of
1890 is about $4,000 less than it was for
January, 1899. This is caused by fall
ing off in customs of $1,000, of 81, 200 in
the Postal Bureau, of $1,000 in the In
terror Department, of $4,000 in Land
Revenue, and of $1,4OO in Fines, Penal
ties and Costs. The latter have appar-
emily not been made up, and the In
terror accounts from the other Islands
must be behind hand, owing to inter-
rupted communication, while the de-
Struction of Chinatown means the loss
of many licenses. The contraction of
income is probably more apparent than
real
That the customs should fall off dur
ing the plague was to be expected, but
the reduction is merely nominal. The
falling off in the postal returns can be
laid distinctly to the door of the plague.
Communication to the other Islands has
been so uncertain that letter writing
must have fallen off considerably, and
the Chinese business having been prac-
fically wiped out, there must have been
large decrease in that section of cor
respondence.
The expenditures for the month of
January 1899 on current account
amounted to $134, 1856, those for Janu-
airy, 1900 were $166, S47.99, an increase
of $4,000 in round number. Running
through the figures, we at once come
upon the traces of the plague. The TWO
main items of expenditure during the
month were support of the Military and
Bureau of Health.
In January, 1899, the expenditures for
military amounted to $1,651.O9, last
month, when we had to call out the
military for active service, and very
trying service it was the cost was
$27,591.46. The expenditure of the Board
of Health for the parallel month of last
year were $17,3O5.53, in January, 1900
they were $64,559O7, and this presum-
ably does not cover all expenditures by
any means. The two items together
last January amounted to $4,000 in
round numbers while this January, the
aggregated 1872 900, an increase of $7S,-
900 above the normal monthly expen-
diture.
On the other hand there has been
falling off in expenditures for other
purposes, notably in the Bureau OF
Public Works which have gone down
from $22, 5O9.2S in January, 1899, to Sc,
$685. last month, but there have beer
$22,491.17 paid under the Loan Act. and
this has of course gone into public
works. The cash balance in the Public
Treasury on January 81, was $1.559.-
65i.SO against 1896, 669.54 for the same
date last year
1t is satisfactory to have the monthly
statements, and especially satisfactory
at time like this when so much extra
money has to be expended.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-02-15

served without murmur, and guards
have been placed at all positions by
which people might desire to leave the
city, so as to confine the scourge to
Honolulu alone. Our arrangements
with regard to shipping have been
vigorous and we'll carried out.
Not only have we fought the disease,
but when a portion of the city was
swept by fire and large number were
rendered homeless, we have taken care
of them, and organized relief camps
where the homeless can be housed and
the INDECENT fed. over seven or eight
thousand people have been clothed at
public expense. The ladies of the city
resolved themselves into sewing circles
and worked early and late to supply
garments for the unfortunates. This
certainly was not a panic. In fact it
would be difficult to find place where
people remained cool headed and un-
murmuring during so trying a time.
And the strain has been a heavy one.
However we have had our reward and
we may congratulate ourselves on hav-
ing beaten the plague. This is the OPT
MON of Doctor Wood, the President of
the Board of Health, and his views are
ever sound and conservative.
If the writer of the lurid article in
the Argonaut of February had read
the San Francisco Chronicle of Janu-
airy 20, he would there have found some
remarks by Arthur Sewall, which would
have shown him that this was no panic
stricken city. Mr.. Sewalrs remarks
were published yesterday in The Star,
but they will bear Reputation, for he
paid high tribute to our citizens Mr..
Sewall said:
There is no city of equal size in the
United States that could do as well as
Honolulu did in caring for the thou
sands of Chinese, Japanese and Ha-
waiians who were rendered homeless
by the fire. The remarkable generosity
of the people of Honolulu, the absolute
unanimity of action was the most won
derful thing have seen for a long time.
do not refer to the steps taken by the
Government, which were prompt and
well directed, but to the work of the
people themselves. They cannot be
praised too highly. This same spirit of
unanimity is making short work of the
bubonic plague there, for the citizens
are supporting the Board of Health in
the heartiest way imaginable"
The statement that Honolulu is on
the verge of famine is all bosh. The
probability is that certain sections of
the population have never been so well
fed in their lives as they have during
the continuance of the plague. But the
Argonaut has had it lin" for Honolulu
for some years now, and never misses
an opportunity for having a fling if it
can.

reduced children's fares from five to

ing are reduced to four cents, and city
officials are carried free. The Mayor
calculated that the reduction of fares
will save the people 100000 annually,
