ACTION NEEpED.


Mckinley several weeks ago concern
ing losses arising out of the des4ruc-
ton of property by the Board Of
Health and suggested the propriety Of
appointing a commission to take evil
dence and award damages with view
to early settlement thereof.
He has now received a Geographic
dispatch from Secretary Hay approx
ing of the proposition, the telegram
closing with the words: "Such losses
to be paid out Of appropriation made
by the Hawaiian Council OF State in
conformity with Hawaiian laws
1t is suggested that this does not
give the Council of State authority to
appropriate this money, because pay
ing these losses is not essential to the
suppression of plague.
This reasoning Is the purest sophis-
try. 1t is not necessary to the suppress
sion OF the plague that lodgings, cloth
ing or food be supplied to the people
who are being discharged from the de-
tention camps. Money has been ap-
propriated by the Council of State for
this purpose, however, because it is a
direct incident connected with and
arising out of the suppression of the
plague. There is no difference in prin-
ciple between burning up a mans
clothes and replacing them, and burn
ing up his house and replacing that.
II the Council of State have the au-
thority to make good a part of the
loss, that settles the principle. Having
adopted that principle, there is no rea-
son why they should not make the re-
lief full, adequate and complete.
We believe that full power exists in
the Council of State to appropriate
money for all damages caused by the
suppression of the plague, even with
out President McKinley's expressed ap-
prevail of such course; but now that
President McKinley's sanction has
been sought and obtained, the Gov
eminent will make itself supremely RI
diculous IL it still further halts and
asks for further directions from Wash
| ington.
Action, and decided action, is what
is needed now, and not splitting OF
hairs OF technical authority.
Several thousand people have been
rendered homeless by the Government
for the public good. The least that
the Government can do is to pay tc
them whatever may be found to be
due as soon as possible. They are
now suffering for need of the money
and the entire community Is suffering
with them, for, from being producers
and consumers. paying for what they
got, these thousands have been turned
into consumers only, existing upon tn,
charity of the treasury and the public
Business is largely at a standstill

: claimants, but will vastly help tn

Action will be craftsmanship. De
. lay will be weakness.

Century Crosses.

Colossal crosses are to be erected, in
this last year of the nineteenth CEN

Two crosses already rise on heights
near Rome-the English college having
erected one on Tusculum anu the Irish
couege one at Tivoli. Those to be rails
ed this year will be of varied designs,
cut from granite, marble or whatever
stone characterizes each region, and
each will bear the inscription: Jesus
