ECONOMY.

That Kalihi must be guarded is true.
but the guarding of that camp falls
hardly upon the members of the Ma
iional guard of Hawaii. Though some
of the guardsmen are well able to af-
ford the time for duty, there are others
who are suffering heavy loss through
fulfilling their military obligations, and
it becomes a question worth consider
alton, whether the camp might be
guarded with a less force of men. than
the whole regiment, or whether the
time is not at hand when the regiment
might not be relieved and a paid force
of guards, sworn in as special police
men, might not take their place.
AT the present time at Kalihi there
are six companies which probably
average 10 men for company. These
with their officers and the staff will
amount to about $50 all told There
are on guard at any one time 40 men.
These stand for six hours. So that 100
men are required for the "a hours. This
leaves about 260 men not employed, al
lowing 80, of the 290 left as officers and
staff in constant employment. 1t GER
tainly seems as if volunteers might be
called for duty and those who have
important business interests in town
might be relieved.
During the time of bitter fight with
the plague it was not necessary to look
after the spending of every dollar it
wOn1d have baan tba nTirnipol 70 baei
tate on account of expense, but it is
now the duty of the Board to consider
that side of the question and reduce
the expenditure to the most reasonable
limits, always considering, however, the
efficient guarding of the camps.
The military cost considerably over
$1,000 a day. The organization requires
an expensive staff. If the military
We're withdrawn and the guarding put
in the hands of the civil power the ex-
pense could be materially decreased for
the rank and file, and there would be
no necessity for the staff, which of
course the military organization must
have.
The Star does not by any means
argue that too much is paid to the
military, or that the staff or the line
have been in any way derilict in their
duty. 1t merely points out that under
present conditions it may be possible
to relieve a number of men, who are
serving under heavy personal loss, and
also take off the extraordinary strain
upon the national finances
Suppose the whole were put under
civil authority how many guards would
be required, If the hours for guard
duty should be the same as among the
guards now under the Marshal viz:
IL hour shifts, a force of 80 men could
do the work, and allowing them the
same pay, SO a day, the cost would be
$24O, and they would feed themselves.
But it might be better to have more
men present in case of emergency, so
eight hour shifts might Re instituted
and that would require 12O men, which
a SO a day would come to $780, There
would then be an immense saving made
al once.
1t must be remembered that matters
at Kalihi are very different to what
thy were a week ago. The camp is
rapidly being surrounded by a high
board fence, which renders guard duty
very much more easy than it was when
the people first were sent there, and
further that now the cottages have

The lifting of quarantine from several
of the streets and the dismissal from
the detention camps of some thousand
or so of persons viii soon make Hone
lulu look like itself again. There is
brightness and alertness about things
which shows that the strain is becom-
ing relieved.

TO STUDY JAPANESE FISH.
Professor Dean of Columbia College
Has Started For the Orient.

Professor Bashford Dean of the de-
pertinent of zoology OF Columbia uni
versity, in New York, accompanied by
his wife, has started to spend a year in
Asia, chiefly in Japan, where he will be
the guest of the Imperial university at
Tokyo and of the japanese commission
Of fisheries. His researches are to deal
with the development of a number of
fishes which can best be obtained near
Misaki, where the geological station of
the Imperial university is situated.
1t is understood that DR.. Dean in
tends also to make a careful examina-
ton of the oyster industry of Japan in
the interest of the United States COM
mission of fisheries, of which he has
been appointed the biologist. The
commission hopes an examination of
the varied species of japanese oysters
under their natural conditions will sug-
gcst whether they may be fitted for in
PRODUCTION on the Pacific coast of North
America. There is n possibility, too,
that some of the Japanese cultural
methods may be introduced.

spiritual salvation OF their pupils with
cricket so they decided to try TO work
out their own material salvation with
the same potent force
Presently lads with blanched faces
came and reported the rapid approach
OF the incendiaries. Without any APP
pearance of haste the brothers calmly
ordered the wickets pitched on the
field facing the mission building and,
with two teams OF boys, went out to
play as deliberately as If the place had
been a village green in their own ma
tive country. Hundreds of men and
women crowded about the Enclosure
They wanted TO protect their mission
aries, who had secured much of their
affection, but at any cost they were
determined TO save themselves and
their children even if they had to give
up the white twins" to be butchered.
Perfectly disciplined, the lads on the
field began to play, their wondering
parents looking on astonished at the
GOODNESS of the teachers. Up came the
rioters. As they reached the outer
circle of the field the brothers stepped
forward. One Of them, bat in hand,
commanded n halt, and the great mob,
amazed at the strange sight before
them, actually Obeyed him.
Then he talked with quiet eloquence
and in sentences brought down to the
simple understanding of his listeners.
He did not speak of God or Christian
ity, but he did tell them something
about the game he was playing. He
said that it was miracle worker, a
strange and wonderful thing that was
the whole secret of the marvellous sue
cess of the white people. 1t was the
seed that had planted great British
warships and armies all over the world.
What had 1t not done even in a little
time at Pang Soc? The villagers could
testify. Were not the faces of the chill
dren rosy? Had not every lad that
played the marvellous game become
stronger and brighter and better fitted
to go TO the great examination cells at
Canton and win honors for himself and
his parents?
And he and his brother We're giving
to China that great secret which had
made their own empire so mighty and
which in time was going to make Chi
ma mighty too. 1t was talisman also.
Those foolish men with the knives and
the torches could burn and kill COM
mon people, but let them beware. The
moment they touched cricket player
they were doomed TO terrible destruc-
ton. The villagers nodded their heads.
The mob stood sullen and silent a mo-
ment as the brothers deliberately turn
ed their backs to them and, slowly
across the field. proceeded
with the game. Then the rioters swept
on. And by nightfall Pang Soc was in
peace again.

PAY FOR CONFEDERATE HORSES.

1t Is not probable that many Con-
federates who were owners Of the
horses they rode were deprived Of them
at the surrender. The order of Gen.
Grant permitting the men to retain
their horses was generally carried out.
and no complaint was made vt the
time Of any violation Of that order.
1t may be, however, that there wers
many cases Of such q violation and IL
Is right that the government should
pay for such horses. The New York
