of men who occupy public positions are
open to public critism of their acts, ana
it is an insult to the community to tell
il that its assistance is more valued
than its approval. Men in public posi-.
tons must value public commendation
for they are working for the public not
for themselves, As far as reply and
comment is concerned the Board has
rot, in the matter under controversy,
covered itself with glory. 1t has lost
its dignity, has WINGED under criticism
and seems anxious to be vindictive to-
wards it's critics.
But after all, these are really minor
matters. The great point before us is
whether the Board has done it's duty in
the matter of the Hotel stables. No
one wants the Hotel stable property
destroyed because it is the Hotel sta
bles, but the city demands its destruc-
ton because two cases of plague have
been traced to this source, and the ci-
tizens consider it menance to the
health Of the city.
The view taken of the matter by Mr..
Hatch. as expressed in the meeting
yesterday is decidedly a new one. This
member said "as for burning, the mere
burning of the place would amount to
very little. 1 think the damage OF a
business should be considered a little.'
Up to the present the Board has not
expressed this view. 1t has expressed
the view that the convenience of the
individual ought to give way before the
advantage of the community. The adj
vantage of the community is the stamp
! ing out of plague. Is or is not a place
where two cases of plague have occur
red, moreover a business intimately
connected with another business which
was burnt on account of plague, but
! from which horses and vehicles and
other material were removed after fu-
a menace to public health, and dan
ger to the business community ?-WC
all know that for every day that qua
rantine continues is disastrous to com.
rnercial progress.
When the Board of Health was con-
block or the other places which have
been burned down there was no ques.
ton of "a damage to a business" being
considered. The places went because
the public safety demanded it. Has
there come change and does the pub
lie safety no longer require burning tc
insure safety. Or is it not rather much
harder to deal with property that i:
owned by or supported by wealthy anC
influential firms, and represented BY
the best legal talent of the city, thar
it is to deal with Chinese or Japanese
store keepers and employees of no grest
social commercial and political weight
The Board of Health may not ALLOW
such consideration to sway it's opinion
but it certainly lays itself open to the
suspicion. That is where it's unfortu
nate hesitation has created an uneasy
feeling Which may in time act detli
mentally, to the work of the Boart
being carried to ultimate success.

MINOR AND MAJOR.

The letter of DR.. Wood to the Citi-

ed in a tone which the gravity of the
communication deserved, and which
represented the thought of men who
have devoted themselves, at consider
able self sacrifice, to the assistance Of
the Board, and the train of thought Is
more fully emphasized by member
Hatch when he said THE Board deep

which the Sanitary Committee has
rendered and they value their assis-

1t is some time since a British Con-
sular Court has been held in Honolulu
The mercantile arm of Great Britain is
far reaching and even the decisions of
a Consular Court as far as Honolulu
is from London, the capital of the en-
pire, are going to be listened to and
carried out. That is a most essential
part of the British commercial system,
and upon that system Britain's pros
perity is built.

THE CHILDREN,

An adult may be at once thin and
healthy, but a baby, or a young child,
SHOULD be plump, and well covered
with fat. Yet how many gaunt, ema-
ciated, thin blooded babies and child
rem we see chiefly because the nutri-
tive machinery of their bodies is in
some way out Of order. Or they may
be scrofulous or the victims of some
subtle wasting disease. Nauseous and
bad tasting medicine is Objectionable
to adults and horror to children. No
doubt its frequent lack of good effect
is, at least partly due to the disgust it
eXcites in them-the shock to the
system. This Is true of cod liver oil

yet offensive drug vanishes with the
transformation it has undergone In I

use of cod liver oil, have no hesita-

washIngton's Opinion of Trusts.

In 1873 Gen. Washington's army
was not in a very good condition. 1t
needed food and clothing; in fact, the
soldiers were in rags, and with their
officers lived on the plainest of food,
principally roots. Congress was
struggling to supply him and his
army with the necessaries of life. but
it had trouble with those who had the
supplies. because they controlled the
market and we're not disposed to let
them 90 without being paid their own
price. 1t was then that Washington
wrote Joseph Reed, president OF con-
gress, to the following effect:
1T gives me sincere pleasure to
find that the assembly of Pennsylva-
mia is so well disposed to second your
endeavors in bringing those murder
ers of our cause, the monopolizers,
forestallers and engrossers. to condign
punishment. 1t is much to be Ia
mented that each state long ere this
has not hunted them down as pests to
society and the greatest enemies we
have to the happiness of America

the most atrocious in each state was
hung in gibbets upon a gallows five
times as high as the one proposed by
Hannah.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Past week'Has Been Very Favorable to
Farming.

| Farming.
According to the crop bulletin, con-
sidered in all aspects the past
| ing throughout all the state. Good
rains. in some parts, especially in the
| northern district very heavy, have
been general. In many places these
rains have not interfered with farm
work, while in places where work has
been interrupted the interruption has
been more than compensated for by
the i'm proved conditions for growing,
and the end of the week shows
marked advance generally in the agri-
cultural situation. There is, how
ever, a need of more rain in some
sections. Above normal temperatures
have prevailed throughout the state,
adding to the favorable conditions.
The soil has generally been in excel
lent condition for working. though a
few reporters state that it has been
too wet. The seeding of oats is about
completed, being least advanced in
the northern district, and they are
generally coming up nicely in the
central and southern districts. A few
fields in the northern districts are be-
ing resown. Winter wheat prospects
continue good. A few reporters say
that they are the finest that have eN-
listed for years. The rains of the week
have forced the growth very rapidly.
Some reporters state that wheat is in
poor condition. others that it is good
only in spots. Spring wheat is being
sown in some localities. The
past week has been favorable for
grasses generally, and they have made
good growth. Pastures are nearly
ready for stock and in many places
stock has been turned in upon them.
The condition of clover. especially old
meadows, seems to be poor. A great
many reporters say it has been killed.
Flowing of corn is progress sing rapid
ly and considerable planting has been
done in central and southern districts
Early potatoes are coming up in parts
of the south. Gardening is well ad-
vanced, and in the southern and CEN
trail districts garden truck is coming
up nicely. The fruit prospects con-
tinue very fine. They are said by
few reporters to be the finest in years.
A few reporters say that berries will be
a poor crop, and few others say the
same about peaches.
