received a letter from Senator Cullom

recOnyene on the Sd of January and
that it was the purpose to push Ha-

Committee on Foreign Relations. an
pointed as a subcommittee to consider
legislation for Hawaii, were Senators
Cullom, Morgan and Wolcott. This
committee will meet on the first day
OF the session, when Hawaiian mat
tiers will be taken up. 1t had not been
announced whether hearing would be
given or not, but there is no doubt
that the representatives of the various
interests in Hawaii would be heard Or

Cullom had requested each of those who

Press Comment on the Plague Situa-
tion--The Rival Banks--Vari-
GUS Notes of Interest.

HILO, Jan. 24.-The Tribune saws:
Defective means of communication
and the absence of an organized pub
lie sentiment at the commencement of
the plague agitation here delayed in
some measure the more rapid crystal
lizing Of a scheme to effectually cope
with the emergency. The plantation
and commercial interests have been
| naturally averse to so radical a meas
ure as the total cutting off Of all com
munication with Honolulu. without
some assurance that food supplies
would be available from other quar-
tiers, as with a failure, for instance, of
rice, not alone famine, but its attend
ant results, would menace the island
in fashion only less threatening and
serious than the plague itself. But all
this has been overcome, and happily
so, and the island is now working ont
its own destiny. Whether the authori-
ties in Honolulu will see in the Tadi-
cal step that has been taken, signs of
incipient rebellion and refuse to COM
mission our health committee. mat
ters very little, as each of the gentle
men In question can probably do as eff
iectual work without as with a COM
mission, knowing that a united public
sentiment is behind him. We question
very much, however, IL there will be
any complication of this kind. Sober
rejection must show the central
Board Of Health that when an emer-
gency of This nature arises-one more
fraught with possible danger to the
Islands than any in the history of the
group-that any community isolated
as ours Is has ample justification in
invoking a law paramount to any 9TH
er. and that is the law of self-preserva-
ton, the first in nature. To claim its
protection in hasty, unreasOning way
would doubtless lay us open to we'll
grounded charges of disaffection. but
when a majority of the local commit
tee is composed of physicians, and as a
body probably as able as could be
found in Honolulu, and the balance
OF the committee thoroughly repre-
sentative, and when, moreover, the
Medical Society in the capital city is
cOunseling measures of the same strin-
gent kind adopted here, we may feel
tolerably sure that no serious attempt
will be made to modify or overthrow
the plans outlined by our present
Board. The stand taken by our con-
temporary, the Advertiser, is greatly
to be commended, and does it much
credit. The Golden Rule is honored
more frequently in the breach than
in the observance, but in this instance
If the paper in question speaks for
Honolulu, and we think it does for a
large section of it, the capital city is
in practical way doing unto others
as it would they should do unto it, and
we duly accept it as a token of disin-
coming from a somewhat
unexpected quarter.
