SALVATION ARMY.

The work of the Salvation Army
a day or so ago. Not only in London
and the large cities of Great Britain
and the United States is the work. car
ried on, but almost every part of the
world has its salvationists and wher-
ever they work they are intensely prac-
teal and do an enormous amount of
good
In our own Islands the Salvation
Army people have done some fine work.
They have rot confined themselves to
the city, but have spread out through
the Islands. While devoting themselves
to the slums. they have not been I'M
mindful of the country and have held
regular services at least six places on
Maui and Kauai where Christian ser
vices had never been held. This is
rather a severe comment on the resi-
dent clergy.
The success of the work has been
largely among the natives, and especi-
ally among the young Sunday schools
have been opened at many points and
these are eagerly attended by large
number of children. The salvationist
gets among q class of the community
which the regular clergy do not man
age to reach. OF course there are
methods for attracting attention, used
by the salvationists, which CRATE upon
aesthetic sensibilities. But the saliva
zionist has to deal with coarse fibred
people, and he has to use methods
with them which he would not use if
he dealt with the rose water section.
However no matter what the meth
DDS may be, the main question is the
results, and these can be fairly claimed
as satisfactory. The Salvation Army
officers have pOached on the preserves
of no other religious body, but they
have gone bravely in and have success
fully raised up the fallen, and opened
up religious services, where, but for
their work, no religious services ever
would have been held.
Whatever ones religious views may
be, one cannot but admire the persever-
ance, pluck and energy of the saliva
tionists. TO the directors of the work
on these Islands, Captain Merriweather
and his wife, should be given high
praise for their untiring labors, and the
good wishes of many will accompany
them to their new sphere of influence

posite the telephone office Common
sense would say that the moment there
was doubt, the house or houses should
be isolated and the inmates prevented
from mingling with the rest of the pop
ulation. That is what is done else
where. IT was not done here.
The case in question was reported at
2:15 p. m. or thereabouts. At 3:15 p. IN.
and probably before the Chinese were
removing their goods and chattels into
drays and were flying away to any con-
venient point where they might spread
the plague. There was no official Of the
Board of Health on the premises, there
was no soldier with his "bayonnette"
there, there was absolutely nothing. The
flying Chinese were having a livery
time loading their stuff on their wag-
ons. The few natives were carrying off
their calabashes, straw plaits and so
forth.
That it should be the desire of these
poor people to fly is perfectly under4
standable, but that the Board of Health
should allow them to move is more
than can be credited, and yet it is a
fact. The case may or not prove a
case of plague, but until it was decided
one way CT the other, there should
never a soul have passed the threshold
of those promises. Should the case
prove one Of plague, the corner, will be
burned down. What advantage will this
be when 1lthy utensils old wood, rot
ting mattresses, and fetid bed linen
have been spread broadcast over the
town? This talk may be "incendiary'
as the Board of Health calls it, but it
is common sense.

The comments under the heading
heading Common Sense" in these col
umns were deserved yesterday, but to-
day after the migration from the house
at the corner of Alakea and Merchant,
there has been an awakening and, in
case guards will be placed in charge
and the proper precautions taken. Why
this was not done before is not clear
Every one thought it was done until
ocular demonstration was given in
conspicuous part of town.

GOOD WORK.

1t was very sad sight to see the
unfortunate inhabitants of one of the
condemned blocks of Chinatown, being
marched to Kakaako to quarantine
| There were Hawaiians, part Hawaiian,
Japanese, Chinese, men, women and
| children. Some were carrying their
little belongings in hand bags, and
| others We're empty handed. Behind
were carts carrying the sick 1t was
veritable migration.
That the step is necessary is true,
and the Board OF Health is 10 BE- com
mended for It's energy in pushing on
the clean 81 lg of Chinatown and the
destruction OF the infected shacks. But
none the less it is sad to see people
forced from their homes, deprived of
the means of making livelihood, and
forced to accept state aid The homes
they were in were squalid' and mean,
but still they were their homes Again
it was hard upon the sick who had to
be moved. But the good of the public
and the safety of themselves has re-
quired the step, and it was carried out
effectively and humanely.
The Board, since it has had the ener-
gy of Mr. Thurston infused into it, is
certainly doing we'll in the matter of
dealing with the plague upon aggres-
sive lines. The camp that Is being
formed at Kalihi will certainly accom-
modate all the people that It will be
necessary to remove, and under the
good management that now obtains, it
will be run on proper sanitary and
moral principles.
There should be no letting up of the
for some time to come. Too
great care cannot be taken in this di-
rection. 1t is so dreadfully deceptive.
1t seems to die down and disappear
and then euddenly it breaks forth once
more when least expected
What we have before us is not only to |
stamp out the plague, but also to pro-
duce conditions of cleanliness such as |
will render it impossible for the plague |
germs ever to get a foothold here again.
This can be done and the Board is GO
ing about the right way to do it.

In the present crisis it has been sug-
gested that the Legislature be called
together, so as to pass building and
construction laws made necessary by
the radical measures being taken in
Chinatown. But the question of the
legality of such a Legislature at once
arises. Now if the legislature is il
legal, what of the Council of State when
it is called together for the purpose of
voting money for the present emer-
gency? VIII it's acts be legal or il
legal? Our central government is in
Washington and to Washington appeal
should be made as soon as possible. In
stead of waiting for the slow method of
overland mail, a telegram should be
sent from San Francisco.

The plague in Paraguay was not rec
ognized when it was first introduced
and it was not till some months later,
when it had spread through the country
that its real character was discovered.
The Paraguayans while strenuously

it to its source and discovered that its
origin was from two Portuduese fire.

Referring to the controversy about
which is the last year of the century it
may be noted that Sir Edmond Beckett
in his Astronomy without mathema-
tics" says, There was no A. D. 0, and
the nineteenth century of our era began
on January 1, 1901 and not 1900" There
fore the twentieth century begins on
January ], 1901 and not 1900 The posi-
ton in the matter is explained by an
interview with the Catholic Clergy in
another column.

The need Of extra guards at the Gus
tom House is being very much felt. The
problem is how to obtain them. Every
thing in der artmental affairs is at a
complete standstill as the appropria-
tions can only be dealt out on a pro

wanted just now.

The consideration of whether it
would not be well to unmarry the
President Of Board of Health from the
Attorney Generalship is wise. The law
does not say that Attorney-General
shall be President merely that he
should be a member.

of the old kings successor at the pal
ace. At the Grand, Tuesday Dec. IL.

Hal Reid's latest and best pastoral
comedy, "A Home-Spun Heart" will
be the attraction at the Grand tonight.
A Home-Spun Heart is companion
play to Human Hearts, but is play
of higher order and of a more in
tense heart interest, and as pure and
sweet as spray of apple blossoms.
The scene of the play is laid in Cen
tral Ohio, and in a rural community,
telling of the love and life of plain
home-spun couple who are the vic
tins for time of an unscrupulous old
money lender who holds mortgage on
the farm of the heroine. The miserly
william is assisted by an adventures
but they are in the end overthrown
through the efforts of a half-witted
brother of the heroine.
The stage settings and accessories
are all new and elaborate, and the
most careful attention paid to de-
tail; the play having been staged by
Arda La Croix. Among the prominent
artists in the cast may be noted Lii
lian Harris. Ann Singleton, Florence
Webster, Page Spencer, Frank Hart
well and Zach Evans.
