SOME SCIENTISTS.

There is a considerable amount of
scientific work done on these Islands
which is little appreciated. There is
some dilletante scientific work which
gets praise that it does not deserve
Science cold and true, is very different
from the science of the grammar and
high school and minor colleges and uni
verities The one means devotion of a
lifetime to some one or two allied
branches, the other means the skim
ming over the surface of many
branches. To be scientific authority
man must spend his whole thought
upon what he aims at
Thus take Herschel, the astronomer,
and you have a truly scientific man, or
Audubon the ornothologist, or Darwin,

edge of geology, but you do not find

WILL NOT FUSE.

L. r. McClanahan, one of the leading
men of the Democracy in the Territory,
denies that there is any fusion between
the Independents and the Democrats.
Fusion between two such antagonistic
elements could only lead to confusion.
The Democrats however they may be
criticized by their opponents are dis
tinetly patriotic American party They
may from the Republican point of view
be striving to plunge the country into
financial disaster, but their motives are
patriotic, they may desire a reactionist
policy but they base it on honest II
mistaken convictions, and when any
thing touches the honor of the flag
both. Democrats and Republicans are
as one 1t was a United Senate which
declared war on Spain, and the most
eager speeches for war came from the
Democratic ranks.
But what have the Democrats in
common with the Hawaiian Independ-
ents. The latter party, believing that
it can command a majority Hawaiian
vote is advocating restoration of the
monarchy, which certainly no Democrat
can advocate. Among the most able
and most strenuous of the advocates of
annexation We're some of the leading
Democrats here. No Democrat can
think of doing away with the segrega-
ton of lepers, and yet that may prove
one of the Independent party's planks.
The proposed raids on the Treasury GER
tainly cannot present themselves as ac-
ceptable to the Democrats of Hawaii
since with their prosperity here they de-
sire the progress and prosperity of the
Territory.
Upon the broad issues of the presi-
dental cmapaign, the Democrats and
Republicans may disagree, upon the
local issues the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are more likely to fuse in order
TO get the best men and the best meas
ures, than are the Democrats to fuse
with the Independents and their plat
form of impossiblity and treasury
raiding. Oil and water will not mingle
however much you may shake them up,
but two kinds of oil will assimilate.
Democratic oil and Independent water
can never coalesce.

THE GRAND JURY.

Judge Humphreys took considerable
pains yesterday to explain to the grand
jury its various duties. AS it was the
first time that grand jury had been
called together in Honolulu it was per-
haps necessary to go into the details
which the judge did, though as a fact
many of the men called were the thor
Oughly acquainted with the duties and
obligations of grand jurymen.
The grand jury besides investigating
the cases presented to it by the attor-
ney-general and deciding whether they
shall come to trial or not, will also act
as the Censor Morum, the arbiter of
morals in the city. Every phase of
public interest and public decorum
could be investigated by it. The police,
immigration, the insane asylum, drunk
enness, prostitution, government Off
cials, gambling and many other things
will give the grand jury very COM
prehensive field.
OF course Judge Humphreys was
quite right to show how comprehensive
the field was, because though I'M
doubtedly some of the grand jury men
knew their powers and obligations,
there were others who did not. The
only thing that the first grand jury in
Honolulu should beware of and should
guard against is being too drastic and
too diffuse when it starts in. The pow
er of a grand jury in this direction has
some times been misused, but it has al
so been and generally is used for good.
The calling of the grand jury is an
other link in our Americansm. 1t is
putting as on plane with our brethren
on the mainland, and it is bringing us
on an equality with the Anglo-Saxon
system, for the grand jury system of
the United States is the lineal descend
ent of the grand jury system of Great
Britain. The lack of a grand jury in
our former legal system can be ex-
planned, for those who framed our code
of laws knew and appreciated the grand
Jury system, but they had distinct and
good reasons for doing without it.

LABOR TROUBLES.

The strikes which were threatened
when the new laws came in have not
materialized very seriously. There have
been strikes but they have ended in
the major part of the men going to
work, and the places of the indictments
have been filled from other sources. At
one time there was an influx into Homo
lulu, where the field laborer had an idea
he could get everything he wanted for
nothing and wages for nominal work.
But he found that he had to break into
his savings to pay for his room rent and
board, while work was not be be had;
this soon sets him forth in quest of field
labor once more.
The way a strike was managed at Lii
hue is typical of what the real condi-
tions are. On that plantation the whole
500 men struck for higher wages and
quit work. The manager waited day
and then sent word that the whole out
fit might come up and get their balance
of wages and get off the plantation. But
this was not at all what they wanted.
This meant leaving their quarters and
losing their right to wood, water and
q garden patch, and Immediately max
ing use of their savings for the support
of themselves and families. This broke
the strike at the outset, and all but a
very few are back at work at the old
rates.
The immunity from serious strikes
lies in our peculiarly isolated position.
If the planters are firm and do not try
to overreach one another the season of
strikes will very soon depart. The Jap
anese laborer cannot live indefinitely
upon his savings, and there is no ave-
nue. for him to obtain wages except
through the sugar plantation. He
neither wishes to curtail his food sup
ply, for he likes full stomach, nor does
he want to sell off his wardrobe at
much below cost, because when he re-
turns to Japan he wants to swell around
in something better than ragged XII
mono. Our labor problem, which loom
ed up very large when we first got the
new law, is gradually reducing, and the
question will be finally solved within a
few months.

Consumption still heads the list of
deaths in Honolulu. 1t is high time that
the Board of Health took soma steps
to check it's ravages. The Commission
ers of Education called the attention
of the Board of Health to the fact that
there were consumptives or alleged
consumptives in the schools. No action
however has yet been taken by the
Board of Health. There is a regulation
of the Board that all school children
should be examined and certifcated, it
only needs regulation that all school
teachers should supply a health ccrti-
fcate from competent physician.

him posing as an authority on geology,
nor do you find Audubon writing with
authority on astronomy, though most
probably he was fair astronomer.
We have had, and still have among
us men of truly scientific attainments
some of them we have recognized, 9TH
ers we have discovered after they have
left us and returned to their own lands
with the results of their labors. Indeed,
it is from without, rather than from
within, that scientific knowledge of our
Islands comes. The great authority
upon Island birds is Scott Wilson, who,
when he was here, most people regard
ed as an idle young Englishman, who
went roaming about the country shoot
ing birds that were not worth killing,
because they were not worth eating,
and when he did kill anything worth
eating it was useless, because he muss-
ed it up by skinning.
. Geologically, no man knew so much
about the Islands as the late w. L.
Green, yet people used to think him &C.
centric and crazy because he climbed
the mountains, Clipped rocks and filled
his saddle bags with them and wan
dered about, self-absorbed, with never
a word to say to anyone he met. Yet
his studies here made him develop the
tetrahedral theory of the shape of the
earth, a theory which is now being ac-
cepted by the leading biologists of the
present day.
Hildebrand was another scientific
worker of the past, who has left a
monument to his industry and research
in his Flora of the Hawaiian Islands,"
work which will probably never be
superseded, but from which minor
minds of less vigor will doubtless draw
ideas to popularize and supply the
necessary smattering which is required
according to the education of the pres
ent day.
Dana, many years ago, came from the
mainland and studied our geological
formation, but this was but an incident
in a greater scheme. However, his
booklet on Coral Reefs and Their For
nation" is standard to the present day,
of Aggasiz, which have been carried out
regardless of cost. Dutton made a study
of our volcanoes, which stands at the
head of any other attempt in that line.
In the direction of entomology we
have two men at work here, of world
wide fame, Koebele and Perkins. Ko-
ebele has devoted himself to the study
of insect pests and the means of eradi-
eating them. Here science has allied it
self with industry and has saved capt.
tai from severe loss. Koebele has
searched the world for antagonistic
parasites and insects. For us, he has
done away with the cottony cushion
scale, and other pests. He has saved
the orchards of California, and is fight
ing the borer now. Perkins has studied
and is studying the general entomology
of the Islands. His work upon this has
recently been published in England,
and is the standard authority, which
will serve as a mine for the populariz-
ers to dig in.
There has been very great deal of
this scientific work done here. but as
pointed out, it has come from without,
not from within. There will have to be
very much better scientific training be-
fore we get scientists from within.
