NATURALlZED CHINESE.

A most remarkable ruling has been
made by the Solicitor of the Treasury
concerning the status of naturalized
Hawaiian Chinese, i'm which he takes
|the position that such a man is not a
|citizen of the United States. 1t is diff
cult to understand how the Solicitor of
|the Treasury could have arrived at this
position. The Territorial Act declares
that all Hawaiian citizens are citizens
pr the United States. Hawaiian citi-
gems" includes not only those native
born but those Heretofore naturalized
nnder Hawaiian law. There is mo- excep-
lion made against the Chinese. Those
who were naturalized under Hawaiian
law are just as much Hawaiian citizens
Ps are English and Germans who were
naturalized. and those native bern.
They are recognized and treated here
ns American citizens by all officials.
More than a hundred of them register
ID and voted at the first American cleo
Ion held on last Tuesday.
In the interests of fair play, such an
important question as this ought not
TO be left TO the decision of a single
unfortunate official. II is to be hoped
hat an early case can be made UP
which shall receive judicial interpreta-
ior of the standing Of this class Of our
itizens

or CURRENT INTEREST.
c. am lion Boy Sleep Walker.

There's something just now up III
our town." said a Geneva, n. Y, man.
to an interviewer, recently, that fur-
nishes more excitement than politics:
That something is a sixteen year ola
boy somnambulist,a and the Flint Creek
ers believe he is the champion sleep
walker of the world. This youngster
has been walking in his sleep since
early childhood. His parents nave
often seen him take spoons and FORKS
from the dining table and put them
in ash barrels and he has been known
TO go to the barn and take harness
to pieces and conceal the various parts.
When he was eight years old ne was
found at 2 o'clock one morning sleep
ing under a tree in the yard or ms
parents home. Not long since the lad
father was building a new barn, ana
when the carpenters stopped WORK
they left a large wooden mallet on a
crots-piece forty feet or more from the
ground. At the supper table that night
the boys father remarked That n
wished the mallet were down, as ii
might blow down and hurt some one
That night some country people re-
turning from a dance saw d white
ROBBED figure climbing ladder leading
to the staging around the new barn
The boy reached the top, and, balanc-
nls himself. walked upon cross-plece
lightly feet to the opposite end, picked
up the mallet and returned TO the
ground without ever waking. The next
morning he knew nothing OF his night
adventures"

In view of the increasing number of
suggestions, not only from the press,
but from responsible political bodies in
California and elsewhere, that Hawaii
be made a dumping ground for the
lepers of the United States. we suggest
the ACCESSIBILITY of the Chambers of
Commerce of Honolulu and Hilo taking
some action in the matter and passing
resolutions of protest. which shall be
forwarded to other Chambers of Com
merce in the States, and to the authori-
ties in California and at Washington.
The Planters Washington represen-
tative might well be instructed also to
do what he can in the matter and in
dividuals should write to their acquain-
tances i'm the United States SO that il
may become known that we are not in
different upon the subject.

THE PLUMBING TRUST AGAIN.

AT the last meeting of the Board of
Health. Doctor Pratt, the then SAM
tary Inspector, reported that the
schools of the city, both public and
private. were In bad sanitary condi-
ton that these conditions had been
remedied to some extent but that the
Board of Education was unable to COM
plete the necessary repairs and chan
ges, because they could not obtain the
necessary plumbing material except
through master plumbers and their
charges were so high that the amount
of money available in the appropria-
ton was insufficient.
Here stands an indictment which
should bring the execration OF the COM
munity upon the business houses in
this town who. having plumbing sup
plies for sale, refuse to sell them to
anyone except the master plumbers.
IL Is we'll known that insanitary
closets are the most fertile source of
disease and death.
IL Is equally we'll known that children
are more susceptible to infection by
disease germs than are adults.
We are faced with the situation, then,
that the dealers in plumbing goods in
this town, by illegally refusing to sell
plumbing material to the Board of
Education. are preventing the Board
from placing it's schools in decent sani-
tary condition.
We are faced with the fact that to-
day the children of this city are being
subjected TO insanitary conditions
which may bring disease and death
among them, for the sole reason that
few business concerns have thought
IL good policy to form a close corpora
| ton monopoly and sell their goods only
through the plumbing fraternity. who
In turn charge such extortionate
prices that II places the work beyond
the reach of both private citizens and
public bodies.
How will a member of the plumbing
trust feel II his child happens to be tn,
one who falls a victim to typhoid fevel
or diphtheria? Will he consider tina
the small amount of additional none,
which he has made by going into tn,
plumbing trust will compensate hin
for the life OF his child?
The plumbing trust iniquity does no
grow less by lapse of time. Each day
brings forth some additional phase O.
Its viciousness; but this last develop
ment. by which the lives of the child
rem of this community are being dali!
teopardlzed. Is simply infamous.

seems to be the Right Sort.

Young John ID. Rockefeller, in his
address to a Bible class in Tarrytown
me other day. told his hearers that
here were a good many things better
than money in this world, and that one
# them was work. He said he had
learned this fact by cutting wood and
crushing stone at fifteen cents an hour.
He recalled that when he was in col
lege his most intimate companions were
men who worked their way by laundry
work and doing janitors duty. One
OF them was taken sick and went to

Nothing to Learn

New York a few weeks ago to take
what is styled hospital course. The
practitioner with pill and scalpel falls
behind, remarks Victor Smith. in tell
ing the story in the Press, unless he
occasionally visits New York to learn
new devices, fakes and methods. This
surgeon went to Bellevue hospital one
morning to see an operation performed
for the cure of hare-lip and left town
next day, saying: What's the use of
wasting time? There's nothing for
me to learn at Bellevue. Only a lot

A Nota BILE Change.

More than 20 per cent of the men
discharged from the service of the

twenty years ago were dropped from

ever with 10000 men in the employ of
