TO Chinatown property-Owners. We
know that this has been and would be
great, but what about the loss to every
body, Chinatown property-owners in
cluded, II the plague should be permit
ted to shoulder and break forth at
will? For mark one thing: il the
plague is not stamped out soon our
cargoes of sugar will be stopped abroad
as surely as were those cargoes of sus-
pected Brazilian coffee at New York
few days ago; the freight now import
ed by Chinatown merchants will be
either refused admission here or half
ruined by the process of fumigatiOn;
our tourist trade will lapse and our
gain in white population be checked.
The suspicion throughout the city and
the islands touching danger from Ash
attic merchandise would bring China
towns business TO a standstill and the
rents Mr.. Colburn now thinks about
could be paid no longer. So where
does the advantage come in of trying
half way measures? Assuredly il Is
better tdat some be hurt than all be
ruined.
One more matter remains TO be con-
sidered Mr.. Colburn says, as an ad-
ditional reason why the torch should
not be applied to blocks in Chinatown
or to Chinatown as a whole, that the
destruction of wooden shacks in GER
tain portions of the district would COM
pei the owners of the realty, if they
rebuild, to go to the expense of putting
up fire proof structures. This is be-
cause the localities are now within fire
limits. We regard that as strong
argument in favor of a general China
town conflagration; for if owners are
compelled to build decent houses. the
danger from infection and from acct
dental fires in future will be CORES
pondingly lessened.
The argument is all against the Chi
natown owner. The truth is that he is
maintaining a death-dealing nuisance
and for the good of the whole people of
Honolulu and of the Hawaiian Islands
the nuisance must be extirpated. Hence
the unanswerable logic of the torch.

less willing to enter into railroad
scheme which must look, in large meas
ure. TO British power in South Africa
for its success and backing. With
these nations satisfied what danger
could there be of such a war as DR..
Andrews imsginss? Are nations which
do not combine against a power while
it is in the midst Of a desperate strug-
gle going TO rush against its bayonets
the moment they become triumphant?
That is not the way of the world?
The reasonable view is that any dan
ger Of a combined attack on England
would rest in the conviction. due TO
her defeat in South Africa. that she
was no longer able to protect herself
or be of value as an ally or friend. Re
duce Great Britain to the rank Of a
second-class power and Russia would
soon NEEDLE with India and France
with Egypt These latter keep their
places now because they believe that
the lion still has teeth and claws.

A FEELING PLANT.

We have received the following
anonymous letter from a business"
man which is published as spelled:
Gentlemen: As a business man of
this city. / wish to caution the Cover
ment Officials about making this Quar-
antine a little to strict. / believe there
lis an end TO everything. and think it
is about time for us business men 10
say something. First let me say that
CHINA and JAPAN has plague they
call Black and BubOnic all the year
now why should we be so afraid Of
sickness that all Tropical countries are
subject too. 1t is true we have a sick
ness here that is not pleasant to any of
us. but it should not be treated as we
are now doing. Now do you want to
ruin this country? If not stop this
AGITATION. and stop getting scared,
and first of all put a BUSINESS MAN
at the head of the board of health. and
let the DOCTORS come after him. l
will say that a change of this kind will
be acceptable to all. and in a short
while we shall have our beautiful city
running better then ever. II before
this scare we had a first class business
man at the head of our Health Depart
ment. all this Filth &c in China town
would never have been permitted to
exist. a city must be run as a business.
and there Is no one more capable of
running our city, then one of our own
business men. II this thing is not
changed soon, propose to hold Pub
lie meeting and then let the people
speak for themselves.
BUSINESS MAN RAJ.
We trust the public meeting will
come off, for something is surely need
ed to tighten the gloom and nothing
could be more diverting than a rally
of business" men for the abatement
of the quarantine. We can imagine,
however, that a good many sympathi-
zers. especially those in the laun-
dry, cold drink, vegetable, mosquito
net, duck-suit and goldfish business
would find it difficult to attend. Still,
Business Man RAJ" would be a
whole show in himself, and we trust
that he will speedily convene and
bring things to head in his most
acceptable" manner.
In the meantime the Doctors may
feel at liberty to go on with the good
work of Kidding the city of it's unwel-
come visitor, despite the fact that
China and Japan has a plague they
call Black" China and Japan have
a good many things We do not want
here, including some persons who
could, with easy facility, send absurd
letters to the press signed Business
Man"

AFTERMATH OF THE WAR.

The views expressed about the re-
suits likely to follow the Anglo-Boer
war are as various as the men who
hold them. In some quarters opinion
has been partial to the idea that the
failure of Great Britain in South Africa
would bring down upon her the wolves
of Europe. but now we find DR.. f. Ben
jamin Andrews declaring that such a
catastrophe would result from her sue
cess. IF Great Britain Is ultimately
successful in South Africa" says DR..
Andrews. the powers of the world will
unite to resist successfully her ad-
vance. \ coalition will be formed
against British domination" The
learned Professor also ventured the
opinion that a clash would come over
the Cape to Cairo railway.
These views seem to be those of an
alarmist. For a great many years the
British have dominated three-fourths
Of South Africa and we cannot under
stand why the absorption of the In
terror provinces WHICH IOTm the re-
naming One-fOurth. could excite the
combativeness of a Europe which has
stood by without serious protest and
seen Great Britain take Egypt and the
Soudan. If France, for example, would
not fight over Egypt and Fashoda she
would hardly fight because the British
had consolidated their power at the
other end of the continent. And if
France would not fight who would

MR.. COLBURN'S PROTEST.

John r. Colburn's letter, printed else
where, is the natural protest of a Chi
natown property-owner against the
which he derives an income. Mr. Col
burn does not see why houses adjacent
TO those where plague has appeared
should be destroyed, nor does he I'M
derstand the need of keeping the sites
of such structures uncovered for so
long a time as a year. If We under
stand him Alright he thinks It enough
to burn the plague-smitten houses
alone, and. after disinfecting the soil,
to permit immediate rebuilding, the
main reliance against the spreading of
the bubonic scourge being put in a per-
fected quarantine
We do not blame Mr. Colburn for
thinking as he does for 10 man, unless
he is born philosopher, can take an
impartial view of any measure likely to
cut off his income for the sake of doing

To meet Mr.. Colburn's specific objec-
tions we will say first that the burning
Of blocks where infection has shown
itself Is desirable because the people
living in such blocks constantly inter
mingle and may easily have spread the
plague throughout. BY putting every
suspected place to the torch We use the

bially better than the pound of cure.
