RELIEF WORK.

The question of voting money for the
support of those who will come out of
quarantine in destitute condition was
decided yesterday by the Council of
State, in the affirmative. Whether this
action came technically within the pro-
visions of the act, seemed doubtful in
the minds of some members, but event
ually they We're convinced and the sum
asked for viz: $4,000 was voted.
1t is hard to see how the matter
could have been in doubt. The case is
| clearly one of emergency. The emer-
gency is as great as if portion of the
| town had been destroyed by earth
quake, or sudden conhagration had
rendered thousands houseless and des-
titute.
The money so voted will be expended
with care, one feels sure. The great dan
ger to be guarded against is that any
class in the community should become
dependent on State. aid. Work of some
nature should be provided, as soon as
the men come out Of quarantine. It
should be distinctly understood that if
there is state aid there should be an
equivalent for it in work.
There is much cleaning to be done.
Some of those who come out of Quar-
antine should be employed in that way
Gangs might be employed in street re-
pairing, and there is much that is of a
useful character which they might do
AS the men come out of quarantine
they should be asked whether they are
capable of taking care of themselves,
or do they want government aid for a
time. If the latter they should at once
be drafted to some government work
and should be put on the pay rolls
with proper lunas in charge to see that
the work is done properly. This pre-
vents any one taking undue advantage
of government aid. If a man has to
work upon roads when his regular en-
ployment is that Of a tailor, he will very
soon hustle round and see whether
there is some work to be obtained in
his own line. But if he has nothing to

free food he is apt to hang on as an
idler as long as he can.
In this matter, therefore, the govern
ment should be forehanded and ready
to meet the difficulty by providing work
for the destitute. This view of question
does not seem to have been argued, but
1t is view which must commend itself
thought. The government of India has
had to spend millions in relief for it's
starving population, and it always pro-
ceeds in this way. 1t never distributes
money or its equivalent among the suf-
ferers, but it always supplies work. for
which it pays.

There is need not only to burn Chi
natown, but a good many of the shacks
in other parts of the town should go as
we'll There are rookeries in many di-
rectiOns which it would be for the ad-
vantage of the community to have re-
moved. In fact Chinatown is not con-
fined to Chinatown, but there are many
small Chinatowns scattered over the
city from Palama to Waikiki. The
Board of Health has for the present to
concentrate all it's efforts upon the in
fected district, but before the regener-
alton of the town can be complete these
scattered menaces to the health of the
community will either have to be re-
moved or thoroughly cleaned. One nest
is the Blue Gate property, another is at
the bifurcation of King and Merchant,
where a case of plague has unfortun-
ately broken out, another is on King
street behind the express company's Of

thorough detailed examination will
have to be made, and whole sale

There was a time when an outbreak
of measles was regarded as dangerous,
and the writer can remember a strict
quarantine being established to prevent
the spread of the disease, which, by the
way, it did not succeed in doing, because
one person evaded the quarantine and
carried the contagion into the city. But
measles no longer trouble us now.
There are always more or less cases,
and it has become one of the ordinary
diseases of childhood, just as it is in the
United States and Europe. During the
year only one death from measles oc-
CURED, in the month of June. The pres
ence of measles in town need not alarm
any one. There are fluctuations in the
disease, sometimes there are more
cases, sometimes there are less-but
there is little likelihood of it's becoming
epidemic. The days for that have gone
by.

A PASS TO RICHMOND IN 1862.

a constituent as an Indian Agent The
President took great interest in these ap-

efforts OF the Congressman.

On certain occasion in the early part
of the war, some military gentlemen were
instructed to prepare plans for various
operations and present them to the Presi-

referred to, thus describes the interview:
eve found the President and Secretary Of
State waiting to receive Ilsiin the Executive
Mansion. Mr.. Lincoln Was sitting behind
the table. near the end Ibis right leg, from
the knee to the foot, which was not small,
rested on the table, his lett leg on a chair,
and his hands were clasped over his head
These positions were cfanged frequently
during the conference, and / never saw 4
man who could scatter his limbs more than
he. We sat down, and the places occupied
by the four persons We're about the corners
of a square of eight feet sides. Mr. Lincoln
then said: There's no time to lose. Let
us hear your reports, gentlemen Meigs
read first. Then 1 read. Meigs went
more into the details of engineering, and |
specially. When we spoke OF scarps,
counterscarps, terreplains, barbettes,

rupted, saying: Your .excellency and
don't understand all those technical mill
tary terms That's SO, ,'said Mr.. Lincoln,
but we understand that the rare rank
goes light behind the 'front.' and then he
broue Int both feet to the floor, and clasped
his hands between his knees"
Mr. Lincoln once remarked that when
he became President, he was "deplorably
ignorant OF all marine matters, being only
"a prairie lawyer" And, with one of his
keenest touches of humor. he added: But
