SANITATION.

The effect of burning down China
town has already shown itself in other
ways besides helping to kill out the
plague. There has been a distinct fall
ing off in the death rate for the first
half of the month. Chinatown supplied
plentiful crop of fever patients of
various sorts, and also of pneumonia,
bronchitis and allied diseases. When
we have got rid of the plague-and it
really looks as if DIR. Woods struggle
had been about successful, in spite of
today's sporadic cases-we shall have TO
give our attention to the hygienic con-
ditions of the town.
There may be no necessity for house
TO house visitation but there is neces
sity for Board of Health inspection.
The city should be districted, and a
larger number of paid superintendent
should be employed. These should be
men who would really do their work
thoroughly and Well The only way in
which such efficiency can be secured is
for the members to do some supervision
Of the city themselves. If everything
is left to subordinates it will not be
done, and we shall again have like con-
ditions with the past
There are many parts of the town
which are unsanitary still, notably Ke-
walo. But in isolated spots there are
houses which are overcrowded, where
the rooms are too small, and where the
land owner is drawing a rent and re-
fusing to spend a ten cent piece on re-
pairs. 1t is not really the people that
live in these places that are to blame,
but it is the owners. Many of the
owners say, it is true the land is ours
but we lease that, and we can't prevent
the lessees building insanitary shacks.
The poor cannot expect to live In
palaces. 1t is true that they cannot
expect to live in palaces, but they can
live under sanitary conditions, and the
Board Of Health should see to it that
the responsibility is laid upon the right |
shoulders. -.,.
In appointing agents 1t seems quite |
possible for the Board to obtain the

The new quarantine wharf which is
so rapidly approaching completion will
be of great benefit should there be an
other epidemic in Honolulu, which
every one devoutly hope and prays
will never happen. The new wharf can
be completely isolated from the rest
of the city, arrangements have been
made to allow customs guards and
wharf laborers to remain permanently
in quarantine when so required. and
every facility has been arranged, so
that, in case of epidemic, there will be
no disarrangement of shipping facin-
ties. This is an energetic move which
will be of incalculable benefit.

Deer killing on Molokai seems to be
a profitable employment. Two men
have been engaged upon the work for
a year and have got together some 5000
skins. They have been offered $1.25 a
piece for Them but they want $3.50, At
the one price they would have $4,000,
at the other $4,000 which certainly is
not a bad years work, though undoubt-
eddy it is a hard one, for tramping over
Molokai gulches is no easy task. The
curious part of it is that the herd shows
small signs of diminishing. It must
have been very much larger than it was
estimated at.

The effort of Mrs. Whitney and other
ladies to establish a home for fallen
Japanese women is a worthy one. and
is in line with similar efforts on the
mainland and in Europe. Many OF
these women are practically the slaves
of rascals who live upon their earn
ings, as women Of similar class in other
nationalities are. The danger to be
guarded against is in the hypocrisy Of
some of the girls, but ladies, like those
of the Salvation Army, can judge
where repentance is sincere, or where
it is merely simulated to obtain some
tangible benefit without work or trou-
BILE.

Though the rat poison has supplied a
good many humorous incidents, people
should not cease to make use of it.
The probability is that the poison was
not thoroughly mixeu and that some of
blocks may be innocuous while others
may be very deadly indeed. We needed
something to give us an innocent laugh,
and We have certainly got it. The sub
inspectors get guyed most numerically
by the various families where they had
given such careful and earnest instruc-
lions.
