AN ANNUAL VISIT.

The visit of the Board of Health to
Molokai is the great event of the year
among the people of the settlement. 1t
is talked about for weeks before it takes
place, and forms subject matter Tor
conversation for more weeks after 1t
has passed into history. For life at the
settlement, thought it is easy, though
there is no competition in labor, though
the necessity for working for the daily
bread does not exist, still is very dull,
and the visit of today makes a pleasant
break in a monotonous existence.
The visit moreover, brings the people
of the settlement into touch with those
who are in authority over them. 1t is
true that an official of the Board FREE
quently goes to the settlement but he
is regarded as a go-between, and the
people wish to see the men themselves
and detail personally any grievances
that they may have.
Living the isolated lives that these
people do, it stands to reason that they
must have grievances, real or fancied.
If these can be aired from time to time
right them the malcontents are salts
fed for a time, and then can devote
themselves to the amusement of finding
out fresh ones which is a healthy mem
tai exercise.
That everything is done for the people
of the settlement that can be done, is
agreed upon by all who visit the place.

care shown for the unfortunates of this
class. In the East they are simply os-
tracized and driven from the city limits
having to beg by the wayside for an eX-
istence. Kalaupapa is a most healthy
situation. The climate is among the
most pleasant upon the Islands. The
place has many natural advantages
which have been utilized for the benefit
of the inhabitants There is an ample
water supply which is brought to the
houses. There are a couple of deep val
leys which supply ferns and greenery
dear to the native heart. Taro can be
cultivated, fish can be caught in a boat,
and with nets supplied out of public
funds The Board of Health has erect
ed a large number of houses. There is
a hospital and there are devoted Sisters
of Charity, who tend the sick and en-
courage the unhappy
1t all sounds we'll; it is well; but
never the less, however pleasant in sur
roundings, however great the care be-
slowed upon the inhabitants he is
prison. Those who enter it are as dead
to the world as if the grave had closed
over them. They need all the care and
kindness that the people of this Terri
tory can bestow on them. They are
public wards, and however great the
expense, and it is undoubtedly great,
we must never grudge it to them.

A FISH STORY.

When the Legislature meets there
will be many important things to be
done, and undoubtedly political spirit
will run high. Thus many reforms and
much practical legislation will probably
be lost sight of in the war of partizan
strife. But however strong partizan
strife may be the question of filling the
stomachs of either side appeals to all.
If a soldier, as the Duke of yelling
ton said, marches on his belly, certainly
the politician requires that organ full,
before he can take an intelligent view
of public affairs.
This being allowed it is our bounden
duty to protect with care every source
of food we have. Situated as we are
we have no countless herds of cattle to
depend upon, except by cold storage
from California and the refrigerating
west Mutton used to come to us from
New Zealand, but that supply has
ceased. Poultry is out of all price for
any people. Remains FISH"
Certainly from our position we should
be classed among the "ichthyopha-
gytes" and we certainly are not. We
have fish swarming around our shores,
and we take no advantage of the wealth
that is within our grasp. Fortunately
the Federal Government will force us
to take care of our fisheries.
What care we take of them may be
gathered from the following statement
which is authentic A gentleman ex-
amined a seine at Pearl Harbor the
other day. 1t was upwards of three
hundred feet long. The meshes We're
not more than a quarter of an inch
wide. That should have been enough to
capture any of the finny tribe worth
catching, but this was by no means
sufficient for the enterprising Japanese
in charge. He had a brilliant idea and
he duly carried it out. He lined his
seine from end to end with mosquito
netting. The fish that escaped from
such surroundings must be very
small indeed. This nefarious catching of
fish is detrimental to the welfare of
every man, woman and child on the
Islands. We ought to have an abund-
ant fish supply, but we certainly will
not have If we allow the small fry to
be slaughtered in this manner. In the
case above cited the seine was full of
tiny fish, small crabs which We're abso-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-07-21

lutely of no use and were allowed to
simply dry up in the seine as it lay on
the beach. Such wastefulness is very
reprehensible and the authorities
should keep a sharp look out against
its continued recurrence.
We have, unfortunately, no law in
reference to the size of the meshes of a
net. We ought to have, and the next
Legislature no matter how busy it may
be in constructing municipalities,
will have to attend to that In any
other country meshes of a quarter of an
inch wide would be illegal to start with,
but when these small meshes are rein
forced by mosquito netting the method
Of fishing becomes fairly criminal. In
the United States and in Europe the
nets would be confiscated and the own
ers fined. OF course as there is no
law on the subject here, nothing can be
done. but there will have to be a law.
We have protected our fishing very
slightly. This probably is due to the
peculiar fishing rights of individuals.
But now that the fisheries viii be
thrown open to the public, and the
private rights will cease, we need a
complete series of legislative enact
ments which will protect the fish from
such wholesale slaughter as has been
described above.

The addition of four saloons to the
regular list of fourteen ought to supply
the drinkers with all the means of as
suaging their thirst. Up to the present
Honolulu has been very fortunate in
her saloon keepers. There is no town
on the mainland where such places are
kept so respectfully as here. The men
in charge conduct them on careful lines.
and though there is drunkenness there
is not that offensive disorder which can
be seen in many parts of San Francisco
or New York. The dive is an unknown
quantity here, and long may it be so.

There should be no difficulty about
establishing a rural mail delivery in
most of the districts where such will
be required. In former times when ev-
erything had to be done on horseback
there would have been considerable diff
ticulty, but now with wagon roads In
almost every part of the Islands, there
really ought to be no difficulty in get
ting the service. In populous districts
like Kohala, Hamakua Hilo, Waikiki,
Makawao and so FORTH it will prove a
real boon to have a house to house de-
livery.

The closing of the school taught in
Hawaiian on Niihau marks the final
end of a system of education which
was practically dead long ago. When
Mr.. Atkinson became Inspector General
of Schools in 1887, the double system of
schools existed; there We're schools
taught in Hawaiian and schools taught
in English. The result was detrimental

The California oil schemes are kittle
cattle to deal with, as a good many
people in San Francisco and elsewhere
enough schemes of our own which have
not turned out as well as they should
have done to make any of our investors
mighty careful as to where they put
their money. Moreover, if anyone has
spare capital there are plenty of invest
ments close at hand which are to be
picked up at cheap rate and which
are perfectly safe, The only reason that
the stocks are low now is that the
money market here is stringent. Bet

to him was thoroughly cleansed in some

There seems to have been some con-
fusion of orders with regard to the Ala

sengers had to wait a long time before
getting ashore. 1t is hard enough to
have to be a steerage passenger, and
they should be given all opportunity
possible for a run out of the ship.

seems to get along and find food. One kind
gentleman vanished over the simple eyes
and Dlucked off the wings of some flies
He found that he might hold candle close

fly before it had a suspicion that anything
out of the common was going on. In day
