orod the resources of 'Nc Islands. The
Hawaiian left TO himself would never
have developed them. Honolulu, In

would have remained a cluster Of huts. /

IF the torelghe,-a mere waste of no
value to anyone now they are produc-
ing from ten to twelve tons of sugar to
the acre Has that been made out of
the Hawaiian? Would the Hawaiian
ever have raised one pound of sugar
from that land2
The argument IL utterly fallacious.
What the foreigner has gained, he has
gained for himself, not from the Ha-
waiian. The same argument has been
made about the Indian of North Am
erica. But until the arrival of the white
man, the forests and prairies of that
mighty continent were valueless; only
| the home of a few savages, and the wild
beasts who disputed the land with
them. The white man has given value
to the land, and has made even the
desert to blossom as rose. He has
not made all this wealth, luxury and
magnifcence out of the Indian, but he
has made it in spite of the Indian. 1t
is energy, industry and thrift that ex-
pands the valise into the palace, and
gives those things which to the civil
lied man seem most desirable.
1t is about time that this very stale
argument should be exploded. 1t is
brought up by demagogues to play upon
the prejudices of the ignorant and un-
thinking 1t has been used time and
time again against many classes. There
not title of truth in it.

RATS AGAIN.

Constantly comes the statement that
rats carry the plague. By the Doric
comes the news that infected rats car
ried the plague from osaka 60 an out
lying city. The rats We're in merchan-
disc. and were taken on the railroad,
being unloaded at the terminus. This
certainly ought to act as a warning to
us. As far as reintroduction of plague
from people, there is probably little
likelihood But the danger from rats
is an ever present one.
Nothing seems to have been done OF
late towards campaign on rats. From
observation of many people it seems
very certain that the rats are returning
to the city, and that they are present
now i'm very largely increased numbers.
Once let an infested rat get on shore,
and we shall have dozens of infected
rodents carrying contagion in every di-
rection. This is no alarmist cry, 1t is
an ever present possibility.
When one looks at the accounts In
CURED during the plague, which run
in to the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. the account for bounty upon rats
amounted to very little over $500. This
was very small amount to expend for
a very necessary precaution. So small
was it that we may say practically
nothing was done. Since we got rid of
the plague we seem to have given up
even the little that was being attempt
ed, and the rat is going along un-
checked.
We can very well afford not only to
spend $780, but $4,000, or 100000, to get
rid of our rats. Singapore keeps clear
of plague solely on account of the city
being clear of rats. Such thing as
a rat is not to be found Rats are paid
so high a price for that they have nc
chance to thrive and multiply. If the
same methods were employed here rats
would become as rare as the dodo
which, as all know, is extinct.

A POOR ARGUMENT.

Every now and again some unsuccess-
full man is suddenly struck with the
idea that men have come to these Is
lands and have accumulated wealth,
and then wants to know why others
have not done so. Especially is this
true of a certain class when speaking
of the native Hawaiian. One of the
speakers at the native mass meeting,
Saturday, brought up this same stale
argument. He said foreigners came
here with all their belongings in one
valise, and in course of time you be-
held them owning a palace, and untold
belongings.
The inference which the speaker
wished to have drawn was that the for
eigner came here and made in some
unjust way, wealth out of the Hawaii
an. This kind of argument is as stale
as it is specious. The foreigner has
made no wealth out of the Hawaiian,
any more than the American has made
wealth out of the Indian, or the Briton
wealth out of the Australian, or the
Californian wealth out of the Spaniard
lard occupied California for couple of
centuries, and it was a sleepy
dreamy country, with countless herds
roaming over wide pastures, and a
trade in hides and tallow which
amounted to few thousand dollars per
annum. San Francisco was but range
of sandhills with here and there a
house along the beach, and had the
Spanish occupation continued to this
day, there would have been no higher
development But an energetic race
came in, and in fifty years, magnifi-
cent city had been built. Cities have
sprung up all over the State. Engi-
neering skill has carried the rail over
mountains and through canons, and
over the boundless plains of the west.
The harbor that rarely saw a ship is
now filled with mighty steamers and
progress is the watchword of the State.
Plenty of men have come to Califor-
mia with all their belongings in a vallse,
who now own palaces and untold be-
longings. Have they made all this out
of the Spaniards? BY no means; they
have made it out of their own energy
and skill. They have developed the
natural resources, instead of leading
dreamy, idle lives.
Again, look at the magnificent cities
of Sydney and Melbourne. Would they
ever have been erected had not the
Anglo-Saxon occupied the country ?
Would the aboriginal Australian ever
have developed the resources of the
country; would he have planted vine
yards, opened coal mines, opened gold
mines, bred horses and started the busy
hum Of industry along the shores of the
great southern ocean. And has all this
been made out of the aboriginal Aus
tralian. Would he have had all these
things had the Anglo-Saxon never put
his foot on shore. He would have re-
manned the same as when Cook first
discovered him, and his country would
be of no more use to the world than
it was for the centuries that it lay I'M
known, waiting for the kiss of industry
to rouse 1t into life, .-a

ROAD REPAIRS.

The condition of the city roads is
very bad, and the road supervisor
ought to make a beginning of put
ting them in order. Nuuanu Avenue
from the foot of Judd's hill, to the har-
Dor front, is nothing but series of
holes which are very bad for horses,
indeed it is surprising that more acct
dents do not occur. Horses are con-
stantly stumbling. Those who travel
on the tram cars never notice this, but
let any one get behind a good horse and
undertake to drive up the valley and it
will very soon become apparent to
him.
Another thing that Nuuanu Valley
needs is sprinkling. The dust at pres
ent is something awful. 1t rolls in
clouds, smothering everything in its
course. Not only does it sweep over
pedestrians, and those who drive either
in car or carriage, but it sweeps into
every house, and powders furniture,
! books and papers with an unmistake-
able grit A small monthly subscription
would remedy this by obtaining the
services of a road sprinkler The house
holders on either side of the valley road
are we'll to DO people and ought to be
quite willing to join together in a move
ment which would not only advantage
themselves, but all who have to use the
road.
But it is not only Nuuanu that needs
attention. Liliha street is just as bad,
and parts of King street are in very
bad condition. Unless roads are con-
stantly looked after they deteriorate
very quickly. To paraphrase the old
proverb a "stone in time saves nine"
Our plan has been to make a good
road, and then instead of taking care
of it, let it, take of itself. Thus it is
with the Pauoa Valley road. An ex
cellent job was done upon it some two
or three years ago, and not a stroke
has been done since. There is an i'm
mense traffic up the road, some of it
being very heavily laden wagons. The
| consequence is that it is wearing into
holes which retain the water after
every shower and keep enlarging and
charging till at last there will be no
top dressing to the road, and there
\ will be a similar condition of affairs
to what there was before the road was
| put in order. % There is plenty for the
road supervisor to do if he will only
keep his eyes open.

Affairs in China seem to be going
from bad to worse. 1t is very evident
that the Empress Dowager and her
party of reactionists are in full SYM
pathy with the Anti-Foreign Boxers"
They mean to drive out the foreigner
if they can, and their apparent success
only encourages them to stronger eff
forts. The torturing and killing of
missionaries is becoming a popular
amusement, and reprisals are so slight
that they are ignored. Punishment
will have to be drastic before the con-
sentative Chinese understand.

The Democrats are to be compliment
ed upon having adopted a simple,
workable organization on lines similar
to those in use on the mainland. The
Democratic organization is also appar-
emily anxious to get voters instead of
keeping them out. AS was pointed out
in these columns the strength of a
party does not lie in its clubs, but in
the registration. Thousands of voters
will not enroll but they will register
and vote the party ticket. If you mar
row your party down to simply those
who will enroll, you lose a very large
number of votes. By and by these
things will be understood a good deal
better than are now. However the
meeting of last evening was pretty we'll
drilled for 1t accepted the "slate" of
delegates withouta murmur. Took to
them as calf does to milk.

And the streets with dew are wet,
Then you wing your little flight:

How you sprinkle all their clothes.
