cause If the organic law is not passed
some method of making appropriations
for the future must be hit upon, or
many departments will suffer for lack
of funds. The Cabinet made a strong
move the other day when it interpreted
the Act So Of 1898 to mean that all APP
preparations of last Legislature migE
be continued after March 31st, 1900.
This will give the opportunity of finish
ing up public work now for which the
appropriation has run out. But this is
only relief in a measure. More money
is needed for the efficient working of
many of the departments. Both the
Board of Health and the Board of Edu-
cation need additional funds in excess
of the appropriations of last session.
How this is to be met without legis-
lature is difficult to foresee. Only one
person at the juncture can authorita-
lively decide what should be done, and
that is President Mckinley
Again, it is quite a question as to
what can be legally done by the Coun-
ell of State, and information upon that
point should be sought. If we do not
get our organic law quickly, and the
indications are that we shall not, we
ought to have an authoritative opinion
as to what we must do in the crisis.

HOW IT CAN BE DONE.

the question of separating the duties
of President Of the Board of Health and
the Attorney Generalship has abeeeme
the question of the hour. AS has been
pointed out in these columns there Is
nothing in the world to legally make
the Attorney General President of the
Board All that is necessary is that he
should be member of the Board.
The members of the Cabinet evident
ly think that the two offices should be
separate and intend to petition Con-
gress to provide so in the organic law.
The independent press of the city is
united upon this point, both the Adver-
tiser and Star voicing the opinion of
the majority of the citizens. AS things
now stand enc department of govern
ment is suffering in order that another
should be carried on. There is abso-
lutely no need for this.
The solution is a very simple one.
Let Mr.. Cooper resign from the presi-
dency of the Board, he will then be re-
lieved from the burden of RESPONSE
bility of striving to run two depart
ments at once, and yet the Board would
have the advantage of his advice, and
would still have direct mouthpiece in
the Cabinet for that is the object of
having a Cabinet Minister upon any
hoard

MORE HELP.

The Board of Health from the Presi-
dent dOwnwards should be thoroughly
satisfied with the backing that has been
given them individually and collective
ly. The community thoroughly realizes
the situation that it is in, and it is
ready and, as fact, has shown itself
ready to meet that situation.
The very best of this community's
young men are throwing their own bus
| mess aside in order to have the orders
of the Board of Health carried out. 1t
| is almost impossible with a paid guard
to prevent some bribery, yet the Board
of Health gives reasonably good pay
Out in the Philippines men are willing
to be shot for $13 month, and certain
other advantages. Tommy Atkins
fights the battles of Great Britain at
the rate of thirteen pence a day, with
very many Withdrawals, which leave
him a very small credit to his account.
The Board of Health gives it's guards
very much better pay than this.
But though the pay US good it does
not attract the right kind of men,
Quarantine is very unpleasant and peo-
pie are very willing to pay to get out
of it. When you pay man 50 day or
night for his work you have always
to consider whether under the exist
ing circumstances it is worth the hired
mans while to do the work. If a man
offers $50 to get out of quarantine, can
any body be surprised that some one of
the 50 night guard winks? 1t is a plain
proposition and any knowledge of HUI
man nature would at once answer that
it must be expected. There is no ques-
ton of patriotism involved That is
where the difficulty comes in. 1t is
working for pure pay.
How is this difficulty to be overcom-.
1t can only be overcome in one way,
viz: by volunteer guards whose in
tegrity cannot he bribed 1t has now
become the bounden duty of the citi-
zens TO help as much as in them lies.
Not only will they be called upon for
money, but they will be called upon
for personal work. The condition of the
city is such that every one must put
his shoulder to the wheel. There is a
volunteer guard at present which is
doing efficient night duty under Judge
Alfred Carter, but it's ranks are too
thin, and the strain upon the men VIII
prove too great if quarantine runs into
weeks instead of into days. tuG

A significant diplomatic departure
has been made in the treaty between
Mexico and China. 1t has always been
customary to have a standard treaty
in French to which reference is made
if there is any question of difference of
diction. On this occasion the standard
treaty is in English. French has long
been the language of diplomacy, a leg
acy from the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth centuries, but it's supremacy will
have to give way to the great language
of commerce, English.

UNCERTAINTY.

Information from Washington re-
ceiveed by yesterdays mail is by no
means satisfactory. If the story is cor
rect it will throw the legislation upon
our organic law very great way back.
The statement is that Senator Foraker
has been appointed a member of a con-
gressional committee to investigate the
Hawaiian subject. This, in Washing
ton, is taken to mean a trip ITO Homo
lulu, and some months spent in acquir-
ing information.
In connection with the above Senator
Clarke is reported as saying that things
look blue for Hawaiian legislation. The
Senate has so many things to do and
they are all so important, that it is
difficult to lush anything forward. The
Senator used to be very sanguine, but
he has evidently ceased to be so.
Things look differently in Washington
to what they do in Hawaii proportions
change very much. What appears to
us of the highest Importance, dwindles
to very small size when it reaches
the Capitol building
On the other hand, blue as the pros
pect may look we all know that the
executive is anxious that the question
of organic law for the Islands should
be settled as soon as possible, and
when the subject comes up for debate
it will be a party measure AS such
it may be pushed through.
Our own executive should be in touch
with the executive in Washington, be-

The genus wharf rat seems to have
come with us to stay Some enterpris-

tapping the fumigated goods in the FISH
market, and carrying on an Illicit sale
of popular Chinese and Japanese brands
of liquors. There should be thorough
clearance of loafers and wharf rats
from the city front They are the pest
of every city upon earth, but they
ought to be handled more easily here
than elsewhere. We have no large float

1t is satisfactory to know that there
is ample supply of water in case of fire,
There was some doubt about the matter
but Andrew Brown, Superintendent of
Water Works states that the fire de-
partment had all that it needed, and
the drain had no effect upon the sup
ply for people who were dependent up
on the artesian system. The valley peo-
pie are short of water, but that is on
account of the reservoirs being low
These depend upon the mountain
streams and they are dry.

The Moana gave us the cold shoulder
this morning and passed on without
taking any mail. One does not see why a
properly fumigated mail should cause
any risk to a vessel. OF course a cap
tain is bound to take the greatest care
so as to avoid being quarantined, bu;
a few properly fumigated mail bags are
not going to endanger him. If memory
serves it was Captain Cary who gave
the port the go-by during the cholera
endemic.

FUN WITH GAMBLERS.
Cinnamon in Quarantine Scamper From
Chillingworth

While roaming through a block in
Chinatown yesterday Chester Doyle
found an alley in which were over a
hundred Cinnamon playing Russian
War dominoes and other games OF
chance. Just to have a little fun he
secured Deputy Marshal Chillingworth
and conducted him into the alley.
The effect was electrical. Chilling
worth was seen and recognized instant
ly. Money was snatched up, boxes over
turned and Cinnamon went over the
fences by dozens and scores. The
scramble was one of the funniest or
funny incidents. OF course Chilling
worth had no power to arrest the men
in the quarantine district, but the Ce-
lestials did not know that.
Gambling and opium smoking are rife
in Chinatown just now. No effort is
made to control these things.

War Department inside of twenty-four
hours unless he avails himself of reports
coming to him.
The army has a large supply of tents and
