SOME THOUGHTS.

From the trend of opinion it is very
evident that the two years appropria-
tion bill asked to be passed by the
Cabinet is not meeting with the unani-
nous approval that some thought it
would receive. Even the people that
are to profit by the various bills, as
they now stand, are not satisfied, and
undoubtedly the people in the outer
districts will object
The propositions of the bills The Star
does not propose to discuss. The cen
trail idea is that appropriations are
asked for two years from a body which
is only acting on an emergency. To
the theoretical thinker, to the honest
politician, to the average man the prop
Osition seems obviously absurd, yet it
is made, and the idea in some quarters
is that it will be carried out.
The fact that the Islands were in
very bad way because the organic law
had not been passed, is a self evident
one. But 1t does not make bad things
better to use worse means to better
them. 1t is true that at times you have
~ NSS 80 tAASeA9bi 60 tllelN BOOu may COllle.
The present is case in point The
Council of State has no constitutional
right to appropriate the money of the
taxpayers. The Council of State is not
a representative body, and it is only by
great stretch of authority that ii
can ever be allowed to vote money out
side Of the gravest emergency.
The Council was within its powers
when it voted for the emergency of the
plague. Tt is within it's prerogatives
when voting appropriations at the or
ders of the President of the United
States based on the Newlands' resoIu-
ton. The Star does not impugn the
authority, but is arguing the question.
The authority for emergency has its
basis in the statute book. The author
ity for permanent appropriations rests
on no such authority. 1t is the author
ity Of expediency and the authority of
expediency, however We all of us may
cling to 1t, is a broken reed.
Let us see what the constitution Of
the Hawaiian Islands says of the Coun-

The idea of plague germs in dust IS
a new theory which the bacteriologists
will have to wrestle with. The germs
of tuberculosis are carried about in
dust, we know. 1t is for that reason
that the expectorations of those sur
fering from consumption are 50 danger
GUS. They dry up and then the germs
float off and take root wherever there
may be a pair of lungs in appropriate
condition. On this account, apart from
any unpleasant features, the drivers Of
tram cars should prevent people spit
ting on the floors of the cars. Such a
habit is dangerous to the health of thu
community, and should be put u
stop to.

Captain Slocum of the yacht Spray,
visited St. Helena only a year or 50
ago, is perhaps the last Independent
American who has written of that spot.
He has no complaints on account of
the climate or anything else to make.
Captain Slocum says "the air in the
heights was cool and bracing," and adds,
at is said that since hanging for
trivial offense went out of fashion, no
one has died there, except from fall
ing over the cliffs in old age, or from
being crushed by stones rolling on them
from the steep mountains" Old Slo-
cum was and is a shrewd observer, and
it seems as if his authority might be
taken against the pedantic and inaccu-
rate gazeteers.

The halt called on prophylactic injec-
tions may seem odd, but what is the
Board to do? The japanese flocked
in under the very proper impression
that it made them immune from plague.
The Board never contemplated this
when it started out, but it is one of
the things it has learned. 1t might
really prove as great a benefcence as
vaccination. In point of fact if it is
what it claims to be it is the cheapest
thing that any government has into its
power to stay plague. The question
is whether it is all that it claims to be.
Certainly the Board of Health are of
that opinion, and no layman is going
TO say that physicians ever make a
mistake, or don't have adequate author
ity for what they do.

A GOOD WORK.

It looks as if the home for incurables
is going to take permanent shape The
organization has now taken defiaite
form, and prominent gentlemen, whose
names carry weight and show that
every creed and every kind of thought
have united to carry on this truly nee
essary work. DR.. Wood has helped as
far as he is able by giving the use of
building, and allowing the furniture
which has been used in the kerosene
detention camp, to be used by the pres
ent organization.
The work, under the supervision of
Mrs. Willis, will be carried on in a sat
isfactory manner, and we may feel sat
isfied that beginning has at last been
made which will be of infinite value in
the future. The terrible condition of
the hopelessly incurable being driven
from one shelter to another will be re-
moved. There will now be place to
die in.
At the present moment people are
taken into the hospital who are not in
durable, but that is because Of present
peculiar conditions. The Japanese pa
tients who are suffering from typhoid
fever could not be received into the
Queens Hospital because they had been
in detention or relief camps. Had they
not been received in to the hospital at
the kerosene camp, they would have
had no attendance, and would have died
where they could, in miserable shacks,
or by the roadside. But this condition
of affairs will soon be over, and under
the new organization, the place will
come to its proper sphere of a home
or hospital for people in the last stages
of consumption, or suffering from some
form of incurable disease. What a
haven this will be to some wretched
sufferers, only those who have had to
deal with this species of suffering can
know. 1t is a most worthy and proper
work which has been undertaken

The hunt for the professional rat
killer threatens to be as elusive as was
the pursuit of the Holy Grail by the
knights Of the Round Table. We may
see Drs. Wood and Day, and Messrc.
Cooper and George Smith starting forth
on the quest, but ever returning bGffled
and worn. If we could only get hold of
the pied piper our troubles would be
over. But there is no piper and no
grail in these prosaic days.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 81, 1900.

Sporadic cases of plague still continue,
but they are readily located and the
