All the treaties are TO continue in force

1t is very natural for those whose
pocketbooks are seriously affected by
the general quarantine measures to
seek let up on the stringent rules
relative to inter-island traffic. But the
losses now experienced are mere baga-
telle compared with the results should
the plague make its appearance in any
of the plantation districts. Whether
Honolulu has to continue its fight
against the plague six weeks or six
months. the disease must he kept with
in its present limits, and no possible
chances can be taken. Let alone the
financial damage from possible dis
turbance of sugar cargoes, an outbreak
in sections where Chinese and Japan
csc outnumber the ruling nationality
almost hundred to one, is situation
not pleasant to contemplate. Until
Honolulu is reasonably certain that
progress of the plague is stayed Chi

of the plague from its usual Asiatic
boundaries makes the prediction that

ticipate that the most strenuous meas
ures will be enforced against the traffic

THE RESIDENCE DISTRICT.

The proposition by Col. Fisher to in
augurate in the outside districts, a
system of inspection similar to that
carried out during cholera times Is one
that will meet with favor among the
majority of residents beyond the bust
ness limits. Under present conditions
nearly every householder has to be on
guard against visitors in the servants
quarters, and, although these visitors
are promptly ordered out they are APP
parenily wandering about and prob
ably overcrowding the boarding houses
which are little better than those in
Chinatown.
1t is apparent that the outside dis
tricts now contain a good sized floating
Oriental population composed largely
of men who got out of Chinatown
while the quarantine was raised or
have since escaped the vigilance of the
guards. Should the plague break out
in one of the Chinese or Japanese
boarding houses in the residence dis
tricts 1t is probable there would be a
general scattering similar to that
which has gone on in Chinatown. To
establish system of inspection similar
to that of cholera times every person
in every house would be accounted for
twice each day, and the custom now
apparently in vogue of Japanese
changing their places of abode without
knowledge of the authorities would be
practically impossible.
With the city divided into small dis
tricts each inspector could easily make
his rounds twice each day. before and
after business hours. If the Board of
Health will say the word, volunteers
for the work will respond quickly If
more men are needed.

REPUBLICANS AND TRUSTS.

The Supreme Court has decided in
every case in which unlawful combina-
tons are attempted in violation of in
terstate commerce that Congress mas
power to legislate. II has, therefore,
sustained the views of Harrison, Sher-
man and leading Republicans which
are embodied in the Sherman law, and
has rejected the doubts of Mr.. Cleve-
land and his associates, which seemed
to prevent the two entirely Democratic
Congresses which followed the Con-
gress ehacting the Sherman law from
taking any action hostile to trusts. In
this latest decision (the Addystone
case) the court has declared without
reservation that Congress has power
to legislate against all combinations Of
manufacturers which are in restraint
OF commerce between the States. And
now President Mckinley urges Con-
gress, which has the highest assur-
ance OF its right 10 logislate against
trusts prejudicial to interstate COM
merce, to enact further antitrust laws.
