is ever the hour and the man. Dr.
Wood has proved the man that the
Islands needed in one Of the most SER
ious crises that has ever occurred in
their history The tale OF how the
plague was fought and beaten will be
written and appreciated throughout the
medical world, and the name of DR..
Wood will be inseparable from the
glory of that victory over disease.
When DR.. Wood resigns his position
he should receive some public recogni-
ton of his services, These have been
given gratuitously and ungrudgingly.
He has worked for the public good as
few men have worked for IL, and the
Territory as a body should recognize
his self sacrifice and his devotion. The
details of the recognition will rest up
on the leading men of the Islands. Tt
must be remembered that not only Ho-
nolulu but all the Islands, owe a debt
of gratitude to Dr. Wood. Not only the
places which have suffered from plague,
but those which have been saved from
it, are alike indebted to him. Every one
must acknowledge that a great debt is
owed to the President of the Board Of
Health.

Chinatown is growing apace out
Palama way. A strict supervision is
being kept over the buildings as they
go up, and it is very thoroughly needed.
If the willy Oriental can manage to
erect for himself a shack which is in
sanitary he will certainly strive to do
it. DR.. Pratt reports that the yards
which were cleaned up along Nuuanu
street are beginning to take on them
their wonted garb of filth and decaylng
matter Only the strictest vigilance
will keep the back premises of Oriental
stores and dwelling houses in proper
shape. We have spent so much money
in sanitary precautions that we must
be willing to~pay for proper supervis-
ion, otherwise our work will only have
been ephemeraI instead of stable, as 1t
ought to be.

Minister Young means business in the
matter of the Hospital for Incurables.
He did not make his offer of $4,000 con-
tingent upon other terms of like mum
ifcence without knowing what he was
talking about. He had the parties in
mis- eye, and the city will soon see the
endowment for the Hospital of Incura-
bles an accomplished fact. Minister
Young will put into the carrying out
of the scheme the same energy which
has carried him through life to brilliant
success. The Hospital for Incurables
will be a success.

The city takes a great deal of interest
in the tennis tournament, and it is not
iceable that interest is not confined to
the members of the clubs and their
friends, but that the outside public is
interested as well. The new programme
provides for two tournaments a year
and will thus give two pleasant sets of
afternoons to which a large number
will look forward with pleasure. One
of the best attributes of the popula-
ton is the ability of the young, in a
tropical climate, to take part in ath-
letics, and the, interest of the older
generation takes in field sports.

The Chinese controversy as to the

of with approval by two Chinese pas

DIR. WOOD.

DIR. Wood, who now seeks to resign
his position as President of the Board
of Health, deserves well of this COM
munity. If ever a man sacrificed him
self to duty, DR.. Wood is the man. He
has worked for the community at great
personal loss. leaving his practice to
fight the plague day and night.
1t has been truly a heroic struggle,
and now that it is practically over, it
to lay the burden down and resume his
practice. When one considers how in
defatigable a president the Doctor has
proved, there can be nothing but praise
for his work. Not only has he made a
brilliant executive officer, never hest
tating to take responsibility, and strik-
ing at his plague foe with scientific
skill, but he has inspired others with
the same enthusiasm which he put into
his own work, and has associated with
himself band of workers who have
seconded his efforts most Loyalty.
The strain upon the President must
have been enormous. He has had to
exert his will power to the utmost. In
spite Of pressure from various quarters
he has continued his course undeviat-
ingly and has brought us by his skill
to the position we are now in. He has
possessed that most admirable of all
powers, the power to say no! and to
keep to his purpose no matter how
many people might desire him to say
yes!
Great crises always bring forward

What Had Most EHct IN Defeat
ing Mr.. Bryan.
Norfolk Landmark

Norfolk Landmark
What undoubtedly had the most
effect in deciding this campaign was
the country's distrust ofthe economic
theories with which MIR. vans
name is inseparably associated. Out
side of that, the combattants were
well matched and the Democratic
ticket had an excellent chance.
Against the prosperity of the country,
which the Republicans made the
most OF, the Democrats had the mag
nihcent issue of anti-imperialism. 1t
must be admitted that even imperi-
alism might have been fought with
more success by some other candi-
date than Mr.. Bryan, because that
gentleman was placed, to a certain
extent, on the defensive by his i'll
anvise and successful effort to Sc
cure the ratification of the imperial.
istic treaty with Spain. But even
then imperialism should have offered
more chances of victory to the Dem.
ocrats than the full dinner pail argu-
ment did TO the Republicans.

Defeat Should Prove a Stimulus

Charlottesville Progress.l
We would counsel the Democrats
of the county not to despair for an
instant. The landslide in their favor
was just as great, if not greater, in
1892, than at present. Their princi-
pies cannot go down in permanent
defeat, because they are founded on
right and justice, and if the people
are only true to themselves, and to
their country, their final triumph is
assured,
The defeat should rather prove a
stimulus. than a paralyzing blow. It
should show them the great dangers
threatening the country. 1t should
show them how vast and evil must
be the influences that can sustain a
party in power when its policy is in
direct violation with the countrys
Constitution, and when it's definite
tendency is the building up of priv
lledg.d few at the expense and ruin
of the many.

Says He Saw n Top Spin IL Minutes,

Of the device has even been printed,

1t is far from novelty.
"Oven ten years ago, to the best of
my recollection, a German watchmak-
er, who was then living here, made a
top which myself have several times
seen spin for more than an hour. His
name was William Freund, and l be-
lieve he is now at Dallas, Tex. He
was a sort of all-round mechanical
genius and used to occupy his leisure
by making quaint automatic toys.
which he generally gave away. The
long-distance top consisted OF a met,
al sphere, about the size of a football,
surmounted by two thin. wide disks,
which, to the best of my recollection.
were made of tin, with a strip of lead
around the edge. Freund called tha
thing the Saturn top" because these
disks made II look something like the
familiar pictures OF that planet. At
the bottom OF the sphere was a short
pil4 with a sharp point, on which the
apparatus revolved, and on top was a
peg for winding the string which
gave 1t It's impetus. No other me-
chanism was visible Freund spun
the toy In small saucer the two or
three times I saw 1t In motion. He
held 1t erect by handle which rested
In a cavity at the end OF the peg, gave
the string a quick jerk and away II
went 1t whirled around so smoothly
and with such q total absence OF any
thing like wobble that 1t was hard to
discern that 1t was really moving.
It appeared to be standing perfectly
still. The longest time that / saw Il
spin was 1 hour and ii minutes, but
on other occasions 1t beat that record
alightly."

Vhe Democratic party has made

its history has been the history of
freedom under the law in this

never conquered; rent with faction,
but never disrupted. No man

the vast majority of the American
people are believers in Democratic
principles.
Clean Of hand and honest Of pur-
pose, it has been the servant of

with power and their champion
when out of power. Its principles
are the principles of the republic,

of any other party. The Demo-
cratic party has buried it's rivals
while it renewed Its own youth
