A SUGGESTION.

When people find matters which they
think incorrect, instead of coming
straight to the journal which has pub
lished the alleged incorrect matter,
they forthwith go to some other journal
to comment on what they think is
wrong. The result is a tangle such as
is shown by Dr. Woods letter published
in this issue. An honest paper may,
with the greatest care and in perfect
good faith, make an error and if it
does will correct it as soon as possible.
The Star published the fact that there
was a case of plague upon the authority
of DR.. Howard, the physician in charge
of the camp. DR.. Hoffman as a result
of his post norton pronounced that it
was not case of plague. This was
also duly reported. There was no
manufacturing" about it. Whatever
manufacturing" was done was in the
words put into DIR. Woods mouth which
he duly repudiates in his letter.
But The Star was guilty neither of a
lack of care, nor of an error On Tues
day it published the exact facts as the
authoritative information at the hour
Of going to press made them appear.
On Wednesday it published the exact
facts as further, but the same authori.
tative information, made them to ap-
pear at that time. This is the strict
and wholesome province of a newspa-
per, and gives far better and more sat
isfactory results to the reading public
than any amount of space devoted to
ill-natured or envious filings at more en-
terprisng and successful contempora-
lies.

The presentation of a purse to Arm
strong Smith as an acknowledgment
of his work during the plague, has
come from number of people who are
personal admirers of Mr.. Smith and
his work, not only in the pesthouse, but
at the old cholera camp and the many
unselfish things which he has done. The
gift is in no sense an expression from
the government, but is the acknowI-
edgement on the part Of many and good
friends of their extent of obligation to
him now, and the debt they owed him
before. The gift is a generous one, but
all who know Armstrong Smith know
that it will be used for the very best
advantage. Many in, the future may
bless the day when Armstrong Smith
the devoted teacher, studied to become
Armstrong Smith, the equally devoted
physician. leg. 500. ... ,,. ...

HECTOR MACDONALD.


The news comes that General Hector
Macdonald VINO took charge of the
Highland brigade after General Wau-
chope was killed, has been grievously
wounded while leading his men against
the retreating army of General Cronje.
1t is well to mark Macdonald as what
can be done by soldierly man, even
in country where wealth and birth
are supposed to have so much promi-
nence.
Hector Macdonald was the son of a
poor crofter, and in his early years was
apprenticed to very poor mechanical
craft. He managed to get rid of his
apprenticeship and enlisted in the Cor
don Highlanders. He rose to be a color
sergeant, and for conspicuous deeds of
soldierly work obtained a lieutenant's
commission in his own regiment.
Since then his career has been stead
lily upward, and he now stands as one
! of the foremost men in the British
army. 1t is often a saying that men
cannot rise in an army composed as
that of Great Britain is. 1t may be
true that it is hard, but Hector Mac
donald is an instance of a man rising
against many possibilities to a
position of very high command.
In this case the true Scotch element
comes forward, and the true Scotch are
| really the true democrats They may
have been devoted to the chief of the
clan and may have been subservient tc
him, but every man who had a drop
of the chiefs blood in his veins felt
that he had an equality in some mat
tiers with his chief Therefore when he
advanced in life he never felt unduly
elated, nor did he ever disport himself
as the "nouveau richie" of modern
| times, He felt as Hector Macdonald
felt, that though he acquired honor fo1
himself he more than ever acquired
honor for his clan. 1t may be inter-
esting to know that General Macdon.
AIDS chief of staff was the son of the
owner of the land on which the general
was born. This seems democratic
enough.

only question is when? Should the
ground be ploughed at once? or should
it be prepared for ploughing?
We all know the effect of breaking up
new land. Molokai is suffering from
an epidemic of fever which has been
traced to the opening up of new land.
When the sewers were being laid In
the city there was a great deal of fever
about; not necessarily fatal, though
fatal in some instances, and the fact
that the streets had been dug up was
by many considered as the cause of the
outbreak. We might go on multiplying
cases, but the fact is too well known
to need any additional proof
If the turning up of new land as at
Molokai, or of comparatively clean land
as the center of the streets in the bet
ter part of the town produced a num-
Der Of cases of fever, the breaking up
of Chinatown, the soil of which is rotten
with filth, will certainly loose an army
of microbes which will float into the
lungs and get into the systems of peo-
pie, and will certainly produce an
alarmingly great number of fever
cases, either malarial or typhoid.
OF course the burning has done much,
but it has not extended deep into the
ground, and the plough would turn up
much that is still in it pristine filthy
and fever breeding condition. It would
be decidedly WISE before ploughing, to
thoroughly saturate the ground with
some strong disinfectant, as sulphuric
acid. And even after this has been
done, there should be treatment of the
ploughed land with similar disinfectant
during the period of ploughing. The
best plan would probably be to plough
in small sections and Immediately dis
infect the section.
The suggestions made above will serve
to call the attention of the public to a
very important matter, which will have
to be attended to. 1t is fact that air
and sunlight will eventually kill all mi
crobes, but the microbes can get in a
mighty lot of work during the process
of their gradual extinction. Science and
skill must come to the assistance of
the kindly forces of nature.

REGENERATION.

The question of what shall be done
with the territory in Chinat)wn which
is now lying bare to the wind and the
sun, is very serious one and viii bear
a good deal of discussion. That it is
necessary to cleanse the location and
freshen and sweeten it is incontrovert1-
BILE. How this had best be done and
how long the process should take, are
questions open to argument.
To commence with, there are the cess
pools. These have been described 81.
filled with fostering masses of corrup-
ton, over which many or the former
living rooms We're placed. The fire
which swept away the houses can not
have had much effect upon the cess
pools, There still must be a large por-
ton of the fostering corruption in these
cesspools. The first thing to do with
them is to have them. all thoroughly
pumped out. WhetherNork in this d-
rection has been commenced the Star
has been unable to find out, AS the
number of excavators is small and
there is daily use for them in various
parts of the city, it may be presumed
that the board is waiting till the new
machines, ordered from the coast, reach
the city.
The next step should be to fill these
places with good dry earth, piled wen
up, so as to allow for gradual sinking
and packing. There is no better disin-
fectant than dry earth, and microbes
shun it as the human being shuns fever
swamps. After this has been properly
carried out, and it will take time 70
properly locate the cesspools and LUX
ing places of the merry microbe, the
next step in the regeneration of the old
Chinatown can be taken.
1t is suggested that the ground, after
being cleared, should be thoroughly
ploughed. The suggestion is an emil
nently practical and good one. The

THAT TIRED FEELING.

What constitutes load depends on
the strength Of the man or beast who
has to carry it and the conditions
under which he carries it. We hear
people continually talk Of being tired
who have not done enough work to
make them so. This sensation is popu-
larly spoken of as that tired feel
ing" People who have it often take
stimulants to drive it away. A relapse
follows and they feel more weary and
depressed than before. For the trouble
is not in the muscles but in the blood.
Certain humors or pOiSons arising
from indigestion or otherwise deprive
the blood Of its sustaining life-giving
power, producing a result similar to
what would follow from too much
exertion and too little rest. But
whereas in the case of healthy per-
son the tired feeling would pass away
under the influence OF sleep and re-
pose, it is not so in this instance. The
sleep is broken and the sufferer rises
in the morning unrefreshed and feel
ing as heavy and dull as when he
went to bed. An effective remedy like

Part of Lord Roberts success was un-
doubtedly due to the absolute secrecy
with which his movements were con-
Quoted. No one but himself and his
chief of staff knew exactly how and
when the blow was to be struck. A
telegram states that even the senior
officers who took the sixth division
through the preliminaries of the opera
tion, did not know what they would
finally have to do. Absolute secrecy in
military operation is most valuable. for
the spy is omnipresent.

action regarding the Burlington

did not. Louis NJ. Jaeger, of Burling-

the federation will be called upon to
