LET THE PEOPLE
ELECT THE SENATORS

President Johnson, in 1868. recon mended a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of United States senator by direct vote of the
people. but his recommendation met with n o response About twelve
years later General Weaver. then a member of congress. tried to secure
the passage of a resolution submitting an amendment. but his efforts
were futile. In 1892. the resolution recommended by President Johnson
and urged by Congressman Weaver finally passed the house OF represent
atives. but it has not yet reached a vote in the senate And after
eight years more of public discussion, the proposition for the first time
receives the endorsement Of the national convention OF one of the great
parties.
II the fusion forces win a victory this fall. we shall see this reform
accomplished before the next presid entail election. and with It's accom
pishment, the people will find it easier to secure any remedial legfs-
lation which they may desire.

The Y. NJ C. A. during it's thirty-o one
years of existence has lead an honora-
BILE career and done a very large amount
of excellent work Beginning in a small
way, it has gradually increased it's
sphere of usefulness till it has become
a power in the city. 1t has done much
work educationally, and has kept en-
larging the mental tone of it's younger
members, in this way doing for Homo
lulu what Mechanics Institutes used to
do in England forty to fifty years ago
In the matter of athletics and physical
culture, it's work has been of the great
est benefit to the rising generation. OF
course, it has inculcated moral and re-
ligious views, and has had great success
with its meetings. Altogether, Honolulu
ought to be proud of her Y. NJ. C. A.
and of the people who devote their time
and attention to it's Improvement and
progress.

CREMATION.

Quite an important meeting will be
held this evening at the Y. M. c. A.
rooms. The question of a crematory
for the city will be put probably on a
business basis, and those who prefer
this method of disposing of their dead,
will have the opportunity of showing
their adhesion to the cause of a sani-
tary and Clearly manner of getting rid
of the rotting garb of humanity.
The subject of cremation is perhaps
a delicate one to approach. For mo-
ment it looks as if it were wrenching
away from the traditions and teachings
of the past. To many it seems a rend-
ing of the veil of sentiment and the
destruction of much which is poetical
in death.
The idea of ones loved ones being
laid in some quiet church yard appeals
to the hearts of the survivors. When
the earth has been laid over the coffin,
and the pretty flowers planted upon the
little mound, flowers watered with Bit
ter tears, tears mingled with the hope
of future smiles when the scroll of time
shall be no more, and we meet the lost
ones in the realms of blissful eternity,
where there will be no more sorrow, no
more sin, but where all enter upon
Heaven, Narvana, The Elyslan Fields,
Paradise, call it what you will-the idea
of the loved ones lying and waiting for
that great call, sleeping as the poets
say, until the final trumpet calls them
into existence once more, is certainly a
lOveable one.
But however beautiful the picture of
the quiet church yard may be, however
poetic the ideas that may cluster
around it, it is to a great extent hol-
low sham. Could one look through the
mound of cool green tuft, decked with
twining roses, there would be the rot
ting image of humanity that we once
loved dropping away peacemeal in the
most hideous and repulsive manner. No
one who has had to attend to the exhu-
nation of bodies can ever forget the
utter horror and disgust which can be
called forth by the exhumed. There
has probably never been a more bril-
liant or more repulsive account of
eXhumation than in the first pages of
Dumas La Dame aux Camelias." The
scene is there depicted with a master
hand
But let us throw aside the sentimental
view. Let us forget that the mass of
flowers only covers fostering and filthy
rotting flesh, and let us consider the
sanitary side.
We all know that the presence Of
cemeteries is preiudicial to health. The
dead, when buried in the ground, repro
duce their diseases and implant the
germs in other organisms which even
tually bring others to join the company
that has gone before. But custom being
more powerful than common sense, Gre
nations, or crematory, are opposed
by certain strong and earnest doctrine
of belief in burial and belief is but
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-04-20

hard thing to disprove, Typhoid, ma
laria and many other diseases, are all
traceable to this same cause. These are
all of them directly owing to the in
sanitary method of disposing of the
dead. Do away with the burial, and
though you will not entirely rid the
earth of disease, you will go a long
way towards It.
To the thinking man or woman there
can be no more Clearly or more salts
factory method of disposing of the dead
than by cremation. If we believe in a
future, it is in a spiritualized future;
not in a material future. The words
of st. Paul are, when speaking of i'm
mortality this corruption must put on
interruption, and the mortal must put
on Immortality" When one follows out
the system of cremation for doing away
with the husk of humanity, we are real
ly only following, not only the behests
of science, which teaches us cleanliness
but we are following st. Paul when he
says this corruption must put on in
corruption" 1t is only by fire that the
rotting remains of humanity can be
rendered incorruptible.
In the present condition of public
thought it would be impossible to pass
an ordinance that all should be Gre
mated. In matter of this kind preju-
dice must be considered. But example
is better than precept, and example will
show that the method of the enlighten-
ed in this matter is the best. There
ought to be present tonight at the meet
ing called by Messrs. George Castle and
Lowrey, people sufficient to make the
scheme of a public crematory a feasible
one, and then there will be a new hy-
gienic departure in Honolulu, and to
many death will be robbed of it's un-
clean and fostering terrors.

LIBERALITY.

The Council of State, having been
convinced that the Hospital for Incura-
bIes is really an urgent necessity, has
not only voted $4,000 towards the en-
dOwment fund, conditioned upon the
public raising 100000, but yesterday it
added to the appropriation $4,000 to be
used for the immediate needs of the
hospital, pending the time that it will
take to raise the endowment fund. 1t
may now be decided that the Hospital
for Incurables is here to stay. There
win be no going backward. The object
lesson given at the present location is
having it's influence, and people realize
how necessary such an institution is.
1t is specially satisfactory that the
institution has been launched on liberal
lines; that it's benefits will be open
to all, and will not be for any one par
ticular race or creed. That is the mis-
fortune of the Queens Hospital. Free
accommodation is given to one race
only, the Hawaiian. All other races
have to pay or be paid for. That upon
this there should be great dissatisfac-
ton is we'll known, and some day the
charter of the institution will be
amended.
The amount of suffering that will be
relieved by the Hospital for Incurables
will be very great. But it will also act
as a safeguard to the well. By
removing to it incurable cases of
consumption, the family of the suf-
ferers and those who are in daily
contact with them will be saved the
danger of contagion. In hospital they
will be taken care of, and the chances
of contagion minimized. 1t will be the
beginning of the war upon tuberculosis,
which will have to be waged during
some years to come. Every country in
the world realizes that there is no need
for the annual holocaust of it's best
and brightest which is offered upon
the altar of the tuberculosis moloch
Every civilized nation is putting its
shoulder to the wheel to suppress it
and we can now say that we have made
a beginning of falling into line.

A sea captain writes that there are
advantages in having water front ship
ping masters. The law recognizes that
there should be such people, allowing
not less than two licenses to Honolulu
the price of a license in Honolulu is $780,
and there must be bond of $1,000, APP
proved by the Minister of the Interior
The conditions of the license are that
the shipping master will not charge
more than SO as a shipping fee, nor
more than ten per cent of the amount
advanced, as a surety fee from any.
seaman shipped at his office. The trou-
BILE with laws like these is that there
is generally some way to get legally
around them, just as certain laws in
New York permit the city officials to
legally plumber the city treasury.

The Japanese, themselves. are begin
ming to realize that their lower classes
are becoming trbulent and unruly. The
great Japanese steamer company has
had to get Chinese stOkers and other
employees, in place of their own coun-
trymen, on account of characterization.
There is not a paper that comes from
Yokohama that does not report riotous
conduct among the lower classes of that
city and of Tokyo. The reason for this
is apparent. The success which Japan
csc arms had against China has made
the people intensely conceited; such
national vanity has been observed in
nations before. Then, again, the taking
away of many of the restraints upon
the people, which Japanese advance
ment has done, has had considerable
influence, and finally, there has. been
a considerable rise in wages, and the
lower classes have more money to spend
and less work to do than formerly. All
this has tended to bring about the
present conditions.

Collector General Stackable comes
forward with a scheme for giving more
wharf room in the harbor, and relieve
the present congested condition of
affairs. His plan seems feasible, and
should have the attention of the Cabi-
net. Whatever will give facility for the
loading and unloading of ships, is to
the advantage of our commerce, and at
the present time we want to do every
thing we can for it. During our long
period of quarantine our commerce has
suffered grievously.

United States Consul General Convey
of Yokohama, supplies the advance
sheets of the consular reports with some
statistics relative to Japanese emigra-
ton. His numbers are given round,
and not with exactitude. According to
his estimate there are 10000 japanese
in Hawaii, 1000 in Australia; 1000 in
Canada, and 1000 in Peru. The figures
take no cognizance of Japanese in
China and Korea. Their number is
decreasing rapidly in China, for the
Dowager Empress is not partial to the
Japanese. There are twelve immigra-
ton establishments in Japan, and two
more are in process of formation.

1t is finally settled that the disease
among the horses on Hawaii is CLAN
ders. This was undoubtedly brought
to the Island by the transports that
called at Hilo. In Honolulu the great

though glandered animals have come
here on the transports, the disease was
always held in hand.
