this pamphlets have been sent to the

cuse for the failure of any community
to stamp out the disease when the
means of doing so are so simple and so
well understood. Vaccination is the
one preventive for the disease. There
is no longer any reason for the preju-
dice which formerly prevailed against
this preventive. We now have a form
of vaccine infinitely superior to that
in use a few years ago. With glycern-
lied vaccine lymph no one need fear

There seems to be an impression.

| ease is mild. that it is not smallpox,
or that if it is smallpox il is not worth
while to take effective measures against
| it. This is a very costly one to the peo-
| pie of the South. A mild case will scat
| ter the disease almost as much as a
severe case. Besides this, experience
| has shown that while most epidemics
begin in mild form they become very
| fatal in due course of time. That Is the
danger ahead now. and this is one of
| the strongest reasons why effective
measures for suppressing the disease
should no longer be neglected"

DR.. Wyman. a close watch is kept
upon all vessels leaving those islands
for the United States, but the chief
thing in our favor is the distance. If
a vessel is infected on leaving the
islands the infection is certain TO man
ifest itself during the voyage. The in
lection being known we have no diff
Guilty in applying the proper remedies.
Our danger lies not in the vessels
which are known to be infected, but in
those which are simply suspected, and
it is these latter which require our
strictest attention"
There is little difficulty in enforcing
thorough disinfection of passengers
and cargo" said DR.. Wyman- The
chief source of danger is from rats,
which infest every vessel. and which
are subject to the disease. Wherever
| il is known or suspected chat a vessel
| is infected every prScaution is taken
to prevent any rats from that vessel
reaching shore. The vessel is not al
lowed to tie up at any wharf, even a,
the disinfecting stations, the cargo is
taken out by layers during successive
days with sulphur fumigation each
night until the entire cargo has been
/ discharged. The rats are destroyed by
| the sulphur fumigatiOn. Rats are
naturally migratory, and wherever a
vessel touches shore some of the rats
/ are bound to come ashore.
| AS to yellow fever this summer, DR..
/ Wyman regards the outlook as very
/ satisfactory. With officers OF the
/ Marine Hospital Service in every Cuban
and Porto Rican port, and with sani-
| tary regulations enforced by United
/ States authorities at these ports he
/ thinks it self-evident that less danger
/ is to be apprehended from this source
| than ever before.

which prevails generally throughout

asked to what he attributed the wide
/ spread OF the disease, and if the Marine
| Hospual Service would undertake to
handle the situation.
"The general spread of the disease is
due to the Ignorance and indifference OF
the authorities and the people, said
DR.. Wyman. Smallpox is disease
which is so we'll known and the meth
DDS of dealing with which are so well
understood that there is no excuse for
the failure of any community, country
or state to stamp out the disease with
in its own borders. The Marine Hos
pital Service Is not maintained for the
purpose of dealing with diseases which
are we'll known, and with which the
local authorities are. or should be. fully

Best Government Devisable I.

the present case is not just Ike that

You can find fault with government by
the people of position and wealth any
where, and with government by white
people on land originally owned and
occupied by Kanakas here, until you

Now Dead Issue.
OF course, the dissension between the
Royalsts and the missionaries has for
years been a dead issue, but here are
natives who still imagine that they will
drive out the white people and own the
whole country themselves, including
everything which the white people once
owned. A native put it rather pat the
other day as ne was watching the con-
struction of a fence around a white
mans premises. said premises having
recently been purchased at pretty gen
erous figures from kanakas, who had
promptly followed out their usual
HABIT. and had one continuous luau
(feasD until the money was gone.
by by Queen come back. then no
more fence, tear all down, no two-story
house, no house for horses, kanakas
walk all across land every way and
have luau."
Another point in this connection is
that the natives, on whose account il is
sought to remove this property qualifi-
cation, have not sought it's removal
however this might profit them. The
request comes from the white monarch
lists, who want to organize them as
Democrats and use them against the
Republican annexationists of Hawaii.
This community. by the way. would
probably go Republican i'm any case.
and IL certainly would in the absence
of an energetic and misleading canvas
on the other side. The native. as have
intimated, is politically queer and un-
reliable. An impression seems to pre-
vail here among certain class that
the old affection for Cleveland which
was shown during the days when the
monarchy was n live issue has carried
over TO the Democratic party. and still
persists. almost universally: this is
probably exaggerated, and il is unsafe
20 predicate anything so permanent of
a people Of shifting ideas. But at any
rate there is warrant for the thought
that these kanakas are inclined toward
the Democratic party. believing that
the Democracy meant TO restore Queen
Lii, but was frustrated by the Republi-
cans. The natives are i'm a voting mai
GRITTY as against the white people. other
than the Portuguese: and just why the
latter race should be included among
the whites is not Immediately apparent
to the careful observer. on account Of
the large proportion of them whose
skins are as dark as those of the ma
tives. 1t is not by any means safe to
assume that they will vote with the
white Republicans. in spite of the fact
that they are the most Industrious
thrifty. law-abiding and intelligent
among the working classes. The few
white demagogues here who have held
over from monarchical days wish to
take advantage of this vague kanaka
sentiment in favor of the Democracy to
the detriment of those who are respon-
sible for annexation.
