PAln INSPECTORS.

The work Of Inspecting Honolulu and
keeping d up TO The proper sanitary
standards will soon devolyo upon paid
men who may be retained under the
coming municipality, as a sort Of sani-
tary police As a paper which proposed
such force weeks ago the Advertiser
cannot do otherwise than approve tho
new departure
But a word Of warning, There ought
TO be no politics in this matter and
no chance for future chicanery.
II the paid health inspectors are good
men who are not put in Office to do
politics and are not Of the class that
accepts brides, the sanitary condition
Of the town will be tne better for them.
Otherwise there is bound to be trouble
Good appointments are expected OF the
Board OF Health and that body will do
vol. we think. to keep the power Of
selection in its own hands. If any
thing goes wrong final responsibility
will devolve upon the Board and can
not easily be shifted from its shoulders.

are OF an unusual measure Of intel
lgence, and will be able 10 manage
their own affairs as Independently Of

II Il is true that the percentage OF
illiteracy In Cuba is as high as seventy
five per cent. General Woods estimate
of a total voting strength would be re-
duccd to less than a hundred thousand.
II IL on some such lines as these how
ever. that the first general election un
der American control will take place
in Cuba As the result of this election
there will spring into form the first
manifestation of Cuban nome-rule un-
der the new dispensatiOn. There may
be disturbances at the polls on the
first election day. These will be but
surface ebullitions, however; for while
the Cubans are excitable and combative,
they are in earnest in their attempt
at self.government The Americans
are now doing more for them than the
greatest armed force could accomplish
for any people; for Uncle Sam Is abroad
on the island not as a tithe-gatherer,
but in the peaceful character of the
kind and patient sChoolmaster, paying
his own way, and asking nothing in
return except an intelligent effort toI
comprehend the object in view, which
is, briefly. to enable people to gov

A well-known citizen whose views
are reported elsewhere does not think
much of the paid inspectorate as a
means of ferreting out cases of plague.
He says the Asiatics and others who
cultivate the bubonic germs will find 1t
easy, after a few days, to fool an in
spector who has an immense district
to handle and will be able to conceal
their cases of sickness from him. AS
a substitute measure he proposes an
increase of the reward for the dlscov-
cry of plague victims. We are not sure
but the inspectorate and the bigger re-
ward ought to so together, but time
will tell. The way to determine what
is best is to give the new inspectors a
chance. If they do well, nothing more
need be said; If not, the fact Will be
apparent in a short time and the rem
edy clear.

Considering how much else the Board
will have on hand during the existence
of the plague, the building inspection
program seems fraught with difficult
ties.
The Advertiser proposes to help the
Board out by keeping its own eyes open
and reporting every instance of insan-
itary building it may discover. To
this end it asks information or clues
from any quarter, which it will treat
confidentally so far as the informants

to aid the Board in maintaining the
proper sanitary standards here. If the
entire press of the city would join in
this undertaking we do not doubt that
the community would reap prompt and
very general benefit.

General Wood in his report on a

ommends a graded suffrage law with
income or property qualifications and
an educational test. We wonder how
the statesmen at Washington who ar
que that anything will fit anywhere
because 1t Is American, will regard this
new departure. Judging from the at
ttude of the Senate Committee on
Territories towards the proposed yot-
ing safeguards here, General Wood

which Mr.. De Bretteville received Sc

The bookkeeper was knocked down ana

misstep on the porch and fell backward

that while lying PROSTATE the book

enriched by the addition of the great
battleship Kearsarge to its North At

marine fighting machine to show SUI

turrets for one class of guns on top OF
turrets for another and larger class.
For weight of metal thrown the new

An Adventurous Scout.

a Royal Marine of Her Majesty's
ship Powerful, in the naval brigade at
Modder river, writes to his mother at
Rochdale as follows:
Our scouts report that the Beers
have got their wives with them, and
that they hold prayer meetings every
night. We saw a piece of this work the
other day by one of the Colonial scouts
which was the most daring thing I've
seen yet. This scout rode right along
parallel to the BOer trenches, at about
500 yards at the gallop, just to draw
the Boer fire and find their position.
He swan the river on his horse and
rode right into an ambush of them,
but on drawing his sword they 'nipped'
for their lives So he kept on for three
hours, the Beers shipping at him all
the time. You could see dust flying all
around his horse, but he lay along his
horses back and never got scratch. ="
