ART PULSATIONS.

1t is always a matter Of pride that
Honolulu can show as excellent an art
display as it does in the Kilohana Art
League. When we consider the isola-
ton Of the Territory, two thousand
miles from the nearest art work, and
that by no means an art center, and the
immense distance it is from true art
centers, it is really wonderful how the
pulsations from those are felt upon
these little dots in the Pacific.
But a large section of our population
is migratory. Just as the plover and
the northwest duck annually wing their
way from the frozen north and bask in
the sunshine of our Southern Isles,
guided by a god-given sense which is
the puzzle of the naturalist and the phi
losopher, so do numbers of our popula-
ton take wing yearly in the early
spring and visit the great centers of the
world, returning in the fall with
wealth of ideas which pass from mind
to mind and help to keep the intellec-
tual life invigorated. To the Islander
a journey of eight or ten thousand miles
is of less account than a journey of
twenty or thirty miles to the farmer in
the interior of the mainland.
1t is thus our intellectual life is al
ways kept fresh and that we are able
to appreciate the artistic efforts of
those amongst us who strive for the
higher aspirations, who would lead the
minds of their fellows from the grOvel-
ling but necessary work of money get
ting into the purer atmosphere of the
ideal and the beautiful, which Bulwer
said were one.
Again it is fortunate that our artistic
circle is not composed of Amateurs en-
tirey. Amateur art, without proper sti-
mulous from professional art, always
sinks to below mediocrity. To be a true
artist a man or a woman must devote
time and life to study after an unrealiz-
able ideal The world says of a work 1T
is perfect" the artist says ut does not
realize my IDEAL" and it is never rea-
lized. He who realizes his ideal is on
the downward track. With careful
studying professional artists and with
many brilliant amateurs, Honolulu in
it's Kilohana meetings assemble an
amount of interesting and fascinating
material which would be a credit to
many a city twice it's size.

The Star in criticizing the manage
ment of the Leper Settlement drew it's
inspiration from the report of the Board
of Health as published in it's last meet
ing. The Star made no charges, but
alluded to rumors current in the city
and suggested that an investigation as
to their accuracy should be made when
the Legislature met. This is the only
body competent to make such an in
vestigation. Mr.. Reynolds seems to
have been looking round for a suit of
clothes and to have put them on. As
to the fit The Star has nothing to say,
that is Mr.. Reynolds own business.
The Star is quite satisfied to await the
investigation by the Legislative COM
mittee, and trusts that the rumors will
be dissipated like mist before the morn
ing sun.

WARE FRISCO.

DR.. Kinyoun's report upon plague in
San Francisco is certainly a startling
one. The disease seems to have taken
solid hold of Chinatown and the doc
tors belief is that the area of infec-
ton is growing. Moreover, DR.. Kim
youn believes that with the return of
laborers from the vineyards and the
salmon packing, upon which industries
many thousands are employed, the
number of cases will increase. The re-
turning men live under the worst by
gienic conditions, they gorge them
selves with oriental foods, to which
we. in Hawaii, traced cases of plague,
and they will prove a fertile field for
the disease to get in it's deadly work.
San Francisco, in spite of scientific
demonstration, has insisted that no
plague cases have ever been within it's
borders. The storm of abuse which
was cast upon the Board of Health,
made the members reef their topsails.
Firm men who believed in their own
integrity would have held to the posi-
ton or resigned. The members of the
ever, held on to their places, their po-
sition with regard to Bubonic plague
they retired from, and resignation was
not in their program.
1t now remains to be seen what the
results of this line of action may be.
As a rule plague in cities of the tenn
perate zone is not now very virulent.
1t is only virulent under filth condi-
lions. Cities of the temperate zone, as
rule have excellent hygieuic condi-
lions. But the Chinatown of San
Francisco is thoroughly unhygienic, it
is one fostering mass of filth. Plague,
which has up to the present, been only
PLAYING with it's victims, in Chinatown,
may burst forth with the utmost viru-
lence. If it does, San Francisco will
suffer to the tune of millions upon mill
lions of dollars The few hundred
thousand required to kill the plague
in it's insipience, will look but a baga-
telle if plague begins to rage and the
city has to be isolated from the rest
of the State.
The work in Honolulu has often been
criticized, the expense incurred is still
bone of contention, but at least we
have this to our credit. We stamped
out the plague. With care, and by
keeping our city clean, we can kee~ the
plague out. The policy of San Fran
cisco is to have plague always on
hand. Our duty is clear we must look
with great caution at everything that
comes from San Francisco. We have
two enemies in the city of the Golden
Gate, plague and leprosy, and they are
two very grim specters indeed.

How are We TO reimburse the many
American subjects for the property
losses they have sustained
The present phase OF the Chinese
question is a very serious one for the
United states. From commercial
point OF view the United states has
immense and growing interests in the
Far East. II Our country is forced
into the background in The negotia-
tions the loss in commerce and manu-
features will be immense. The other
commercial nations of the world are
intensely Jealous of us, and several Of
them would gladly shut the Chinese
door in our faces by prohibitive tariffs.
1t will need the incest diplomatic care
for us to steer our well-freighted ship
shoals and quick sands, which
lie before. We want to avoid conflict
but we want to protect our rights. Our
bearing in the Chinese question, up to
the present has been admirable, and
we can all hope that like skill and for
bearance will lead us to the position
which we now wish to occupy.

MANY DIFFICULTIES.

The developments in the Chinese
question are worse than they were re-
ported on November 20. 1t is now well
understood that the Empress Dowager
by no means realizes the determine
tion of the powers to enforce their de-
mands at every sacrifice. She is after
all playing the old Chinese game. She
will promise anything without the
SLIGHTEST idea of performing what she
promises. History after all repeats it
self. The attitude of the Chinese to-
wards the European powers at the
present time, is very much the attitude
of the Christian nations of Europe to-
wards the Saraceus. 1t was a tenet of
religion in the middle ages that no
faith need be kept with an unbeliever.
and the breaking of faith led to the
practical humiliation of the Christian
hosts at the battle of Marina.
Now the thing is what are the powers
going to do. They may make up their
minds that unless they can bring a
great deal more pressure upon the Chi
nese governing powers, that they can
never get the princes properly punish
ed. If such punishment is to be melted
out the German government is correct
IN asking for it as a preliminary to
peace negotiations. 1t is certainly not
the intention of the Empress to carry
any such decree out. That these ruffian
nrinces should be punished is undoubt-
eddy just, but whether they ever will
be punished unless they fall into the
hands of some of the European troops
is problematical.
Then comes the question of indem-
nifty. The sum to be demanded is enor-
NOUS, and it grows from day to day
While the armies remain in the field.
for the daily expense of the armies is
duly charged up against the Chinese.
Then there are the actual losses
through the destruction of American
and European property. How is this
all going to be paid? Something will
have to be sold or pledged.
This OF course means the partition of
a portion of China. If China cannot
pay she must give an equivalent. This
equivalent will be in Coast line and sea
ports, with probably some of the
'iverine basins. And here comes the
to our own country. It is
against our policy to take land in
nina. We want Chinese trade, we do
lot want Chinese land. But how else
re We going to have our bin paid?

If laborers come here now they come
as immigrants not as contract labor
ers. No government has anything to
do with their coming. There can now
be no lobbying with Portuguese, Itali-
an or German governments, to allow
laborers to come here. If they come
they come of their own free will, and
If the planters like to employ them
we'll and good. A man may say "I
can get you a certain class of labor
ers," but it is purely a verbal promise.
Neither he nor the laborers can be held
in the matter. The quicker We begin
to understand this the better. The
light in which the last effort to get
Italian laborers for this country was
regarded in Washington showed the
view taken under the old conditions
Present conditions are entirely differ
ent.

The radical wing in the Reichstag,
is attacking the Kaiser's policy in Chi
ma, and Directing to the sending of
troops before calling that body together
and asking it's advice. The Emperor
always has his own way so it matters
very little what the radicals may say.
1t serves to blow off steam and does
not alter the Imperial policy one iota.

Richard Cookers temper, whatever effect
it may have had upon his health. He ar
rived at the other side mum as an oyster
and determined to remain So The only
word regarding politics which ne allowed
himself to utter was that he should return
to the United States-it may be wondered
t. he did not say the states" just to be
trif1e Englsh-in season to participate in
the mayoralty campaign next autumn. But
on the vice and crime question, so agitat
ing to his lieutenants at home he refused
to talk. He complained d little about his
health and then retired to d poker game.
Defeat has apparently taught him a les
son. This is gratifying. The public is
nightly tired of what Croker says. His
views are never valuable and only inter
esting for their crudty and their boorish-
ness. 1t would be more gratifying still if
he should have announced, instead of his
return next year, his intention to follow
in the footsteps of that other notorious
American, William Waldorf Aston, and take
up a permanent residence in England. To
a man of his logged persistence and wealth
a baronetcy might soon become a posi-

sound in the ears of the great unwashed of
the East Side and the Red-Light District?
