Unburied Collins.

A common and shocking sight in Chi

where. Every village has it's houses
for storing collins for which no suita-
BILE burial place has been found, and
whole hamlets are given over to this
CHASTITY use. The interment depending
on the good will of the wind and water
devil, FongShul, and his favor being
closely interviewed with that of the
priest who is employed to choose the
site, it sometimes happens that the an
cestral remains occupy a corner of the
dwelling house for so years before the
two powers that be can agree upon
proper resting place. Even after the
bones are laid in the ground it is by
no means certain that they are finally
disposed Of. for if the relatives have
money the priest is apt to discover that
the site is not good one, or perhaps
Fong-Shul has changed his mind,
and up comes the ancestor. If the cof-
fin has decayed, the feshless bones are
slowed in a covered jar, and these

THE WAR,

The war news shows that Roberts
campaign has, up to the present been
singularly successful. General Cronje
has been surrounded and according to
latest reports has had a time limit given
to him in which to surrender. This, if
true, would be a fatal reverse to the
Beers and would probably result in the
Free Staters submitting. All seems to
depend upon the mobility of the at
lacking force. General French's adj
vance was so rapid that the Beers with
their heavy wagon train were unable
to get out of his way.
At the Tugela river Butler has forced
his way across and is in full march for
Ladysmith which place it was rumored
had been relieved. From these devel-
Opments it seems more and more prob
able that Buffers previous move across
the Tugela river was in the nature of
feint to keep General Joubert engaged
while French's flank movement was in
progress, and that his withdrawal was
a distinct part of the plan.
That the Boer resistance has COL
lapsed is by no means to be considered,
but that the Boer forces are in consid-
cradle danger is certain. The proba-
bility is that sthe case of the Beers will
be found similar to the case of the
South. Once the line of defence is
broken, the interior will be found to be
a hollow shell. 1t is a question whether
Pretoria has not been entirely stripped
of its defences. One must give credit
TO the Beers for gallantry, and the best
use of their forces, however much one
may desire the success of the British
arms.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

When definite dates are being placed
upon quarantine, things are beginning
to look more hopeful than they have
been. Hilo may count upon being pro-
claimed clean on March 6, Kahului,
March IS, and Honolulu-one dare
hardly hope-but It may be March 81.
But even before that date business will
have resumed it's usual aspect
1t has been a long and weary strug-
gle and there is probably no place on
the face of the, globe where a fight
against the disease has been carried on
so relentlessly and with such good
generalship as it has been here. There
is probably no community which would
have thrown itself,so unitedly into the
struggle. Commerce and trade have
been seriously interfered with in order
that the plague might be fought. Prop
erty has been relentlessly destroyed in
order that no untoWard chance might
be given for continuance of plague.
Private convenience has given way to
the common good. The citizens have
supported the Board loyalty, and the
only occasion, on which there has been
a decided difference between the Board
and the public was when the latter
thought that the Board was hesitating
in the drastic measures which had up
to that time marked it's course.
In all this, where people have been
torn from their homes, and had their
liberty restrained, their houses invad-
ed for inspecting purposes, there has
been the most admirable good temper.
1t speaks volumes for the inhabitants
of the Honolulu district, and for their
faith in those at the head of affairs
that beyond one or two minor cases
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-02-28

which are not worth citing, there has
been perfect acquiescence in the rules
and regulations laid down. A period
such as we have passed through, would
have been marked by much friction and
discomfort in almost any city of the
United States or of Europe. AS for
Asiatic cities, even the strongest gov
ernments would not have dared to do
what we have done. Take Bombay as
the late George w. Stevens describes
it, and the powerful government Of
Great Britain has been unable to clean
that city, as we have cleaned ours,
while the heroic measures we have em-
pioyed would speedily have caused
serious set Of riots. In striving to make
Bombay sanitary the authorities have
merely scratched on the surface while
we have ploughed deep. The same may
be said of Hongkong and the result is
that the plague has practically made
its home in both those cities, and year
after year the fostering noisomeness
breeds the deadly germs of plague, to
carry off their victims, by scores, by
hundreds and even by thousands.
When our fight is quite over and we
have time to calmly review the past,
others besides ourselves will take the
most intense interest in the way the
campaign against plague was handled.
That at the outset there were some
mistakes made is true. But no one here
had anything except a theoretic idea
of how such campaign should be con-
Quoted, and the wonder is, not that
mistakes were made, but that they
were so quickly remedied and the true
course marked out.
To the members of the Board of
Health belongs the very highest credit
for their course. The work has been
firing to a degree and the responsibility
has been enormous. To the heads of
the Citizens Sanitary Committee and
their many able assistants, who have
done so much detail work at much per-
sonal sacrifice, there is also very great
credit due. One feature, throughout
the entire community, is also very
praiseworthy. There never has been
any panic. Had the citizens given way
to panic the burden of the struggle
would have been enormously increased
and the results reached now might
never have been brought to fruition.
We have suffered severely. But we
have much to be thankful for.

NOTWITHSTANDING the alluring
inducements held out by the pro
motors of the new county of Iron,
the people did not fall all oyer
themselves in a frantic endeavor to
increase their taxes for the benefit
of a few Mesaba range Office seek
ers, real estate boomers and coun-
ty seat promoters. When the
dollars and cents part of the
measure was looked into the ma
Ijority of the voters refused to
stand by the assertions made by
the county divisionists in this city
a few weeks ago. Ely voters have
always exercised good judgment
in matters pertaining to the well
fare of the county and have always
looked with suspicion upon any
movement calculated to benefit the
few at the expense of many. This
has been plainly evidenced by our
vote on the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern S250,O00 bonus, the
Miller Trunk Road proposition
and now the county division
scheme. All of these movements
calculated to benefit the county of
St. Louis and the people of the
ranges in particular have proven
dismal failures. Had the Trunk
Iroad been built according to prom
Uses some benefit might have re-
suited, especially to the Mesaba
range. Instead of building the
road, the larger part of the money
was spent for surveys and prelimi-
naries. The railroad proposition
was for business and was nothing
more than private venture just
the same as the MINER is private
venture on the part of its owner.
Yet the Mesaba range and Duluth
voted almost solidly to give the
corporation quarter million dol
lars. Rates on the road are no
lower considering this donation
from the county. The people of
the county are satisfied over this
latest turn down and in our opin-
ion the division proposition is now
deadel than the proverbial door
nail. Thus has another gigantic
scheme to get rich at the taxpay-
ers expense been nipped in the
bud. 1t is we'll.
