leo and up to the borders OF the United
States, 1t is there that the danger to
the great Republic will come. This
march of the destroyer may be slow,
but history has shown us that on land
its advance is almost irresistible I'M
less the most approved methods are
taken to check it. .t.
Such energy on the part of the Span
ish Republics as has been displayed in
Japan and on these Islands cannot be
looked for. 1t is not in the Spanish ma
ture. Besides there is a large ignorant
Indian population, and this cannot be
expected to adopt measures such as
enlightened nations use. The coming
danger to the United States is there
fore real enough, though it may seem
far distant at present.
OF course at present the danger lies
on the Atlantic seaboard, to which 1t
may be taken by vessels from Brazil.
But rigid quarantine regulations may
effectually keep the disease from en-
tering the seaports. But it will become
a very different thing when it comes to
cross a frontier many hundred miles
in length. There is a menace on the
Southern border Of the United States.

HOPEFUL.

The clean Health record of yester-
day up to the afternoon made every one
breathe more freely. OF course we
must have some cases cropping up for
some time, and one case appeared
shortly after The Star went to press.
The case however was caught almost
as soon as it developed and will not
prove center for further dissemina-
ton. This is a fair instance of the ad-
vantage of the destruction of China
town. AS long as that plague breeding
spot existed SO long was the Board
fighting losing battle. With all the
force of quarantine guards it was i'm
possible to prevent some people from
GLIDING the Gordon, and the people
within were hourly exposed to an ever
increasing army OF microbes.
The burning of Chinatown DESTROYED
the citadel of the plague at one blow.
In the detention camps the cases, as
they come along, and we must expect
that they will come along. can be sep
arated Immediately from the rest of the
detained. Each case closes with itself
and has not time to infect others. There
can be no evasion or concealment, and
it is evident that the Board has the
affair thoroughly in hand.
In almost equal degree the Board,
with its system of house to house in
spection, has all possible outlying cases
in hand Thus the case of Mrs. Roth's
servant was watched carefully from it's
inception, and what is true of this case
is true of any others that may crop up.
The Board is now thoroughly armed
ana prepared, as it were, and can swoop
down quickly upon any case of plague
that may appear.
People are therefore quite justified in
taking a hopeful view of the situation
But, as was stated yesterday, the fact
that the situation is hopeful and that
the Board of Health appears to have
matters in hand, with a speedy pros
pect of putting an end to this dreaded
outbreak, calls for redoubled watch
fulness. Carelessness on the part Of
those whose duty it is to watch might

own fault

At Oakland it is proposed that no con-
sumptive teacher or pupil should be
allowed to enter the schools. This may
seem to be a harsh measure, but it is
an eminently sensible one. Consump-
ton claims more victims than any other
disease. When we have done with the
plague, We will find that consumption
has far greater death roll. We all
now know that consumption is COM
municable, and yet we never seem to
realize that We ought to fight as much
against it as against some other dis
eases that are less serious but which
we fear more. This action of the Oak

AN HONORABLE MAN.

The appointment of F. ]. Lowrey as
been received with satisfaction by the
community. Mr.. Lowrey is a cool
headed, determined, clear thinking
man, with a high ideal of duty. His
advice on the Board will be conserva-
tive, but we can be quite sure that it
will be firm. Mr.. Lowrey is essentially
fair minded in all his dealings, and his
action in resigning his position as Pre-
sident of the Hawaiian Star Newspaper
Association clearly emphasizes this
phase of his character. Rather than
that any one should think there was
any hampering Of criticism of the
Board of Health, because he was q
member, he took this step. Mr.. Lowrey
is to be honored for his independence
Following is his letter.
Honolulu, Jan. "a, 1900.
ITO the Stockholders of the Hawaiian
Star Newspaper Association, Ltd.
Il hereby tender my resignation as
president of your company, in order
that the action of the paper may not
be hampered in any way in it's criticism
of the Board of Health, on account of
my being a member of said Board.
While it might be understood between
ourselves that this appointment should
not make any difference in the attitude
of the paper, yet it might be the occa-
sion of some comment by those who
knew nothing of the circumstances.
Yours very truly,
IF. ]. LOWREY."

Many of the Chinese are convinced
that the fire which swept Chinatown
was intentional and not an unlocked
for catastrophe. One may reason as
much as possible, but they still remain
unconvinced. The very fact that the
towns-people so quickly organized
for their assistance is used as an ar
gument that the conflagration was pre-
miditated, for they argue there would
have been much more confusion had
the citizens not been prepared. It is
in such a spirit that the efforts of the
citizens on their behalf are received
by certain sections of Chinese and
these by no means the ignorant ones.
