THE MONTHLY DEATH ROLL.

Deaths from tuberculosh, pneumonia
and typhoid fever totaled twenty EIGHT
during September or about SO 1-3 per
cent of the aggregate number of deaths
from bubonic plague during four
months. tuberculosis accounted for
ten, typhoid fever nine and pneumonia
eight.
These three maladies are the rea!
plaques of Hawaii and have carried
away more people than all the pesti-
lences. not excluding smallpox, which
the medical history of Hawaii records.
Tuberculosis is both an importation
and an indigenous growth. A great
many people in whom the seeds of con-
sumption have been sown come here to
get the benefits of what they believe to
be an emollient climate and certain
proportion of them succumb to damp
ness. We also have great population.
native and Asatic, that knows nothing
about the peril OF draughts. What
these people mistake for common sense
teaches them to get into a cool. breezy
place when they are perspiring, or to
plunge into a stream or the ocean.
Naturally they suffer for their temerity
and every month shows long roll 81
deaths among them from tuberculosis
and pneumonia.
Typhoid fever doubtless owes Its
prevalence TO the use OF bad water. We
have seen a native drink from stream
which receives sewage and Chinaman
send his child with IA lumber to get
water 10 quench his thirst from
flooded rice field. Probably the lack OF
filters In the storage reservoirs ac-
counts for some typholdal cases anf
filthy living for others; but the real
cause ~ the use OF impure water for
drinking purposes by people who are
ignorant Of the rudiments of sanitary
Eclence.
IL seems 10 the Advertiser that " the
principles OF sanitation were taught in
our public schools much practical good
would enEue. There are isms and olo-
gies enough and perhaps too many;

LEGISLATURE MAY
PASS THE TAX LAW
Chief Justice Frear Says Con-
stitution of Republic
is Abrogdted.

| Chief Justice Frear gave some inter-
esting information yesterday with ref
erence to the question whether the
constitution or the Republic of Hawaii
had been intended to be kept in force
or abrogated by the Organic Act. At
torrey General Dole In an opinion on
the tax question published in the Ad-
vertiser yesterday held that the consti-
tuition was no longer in force and Chief
Justice Frear states that that was the
intention of Congress.
| when the Hawaiian Commission was
drafting the Organic Act" said he yes
terday, there was some doubt at first
as to the advisability of keeping the
constitution in force. At first it was
thought best to continue it in force and
then as we went along it was decided
to abrogate the whole constitution and
insert such portions as we had formerly
thought of retaining in force into the
Organic Act. That Is why Section 1
and 6 of the Organic Act seem to in
dictate an intention to retain, the cen-
stitution in force and explains the
seeming inconsistency of these sections
with Section z.
LAS to the matter Of retrospective
legislation, it may be said that in the
constitution of the Republic of Hawaii
there was provision forbidding any
legislation of that kind. We had re-
tanned that section in the Organic Act
but when the Organic Act was being
discussed in the Senate committee it
was Judged best to eliminate it. I was
before the committee at the time and I
stated that such provisions were to be
found in the constitutions of several of
the States, but it was stricken out new
ertheless. In the House committee this
provision was retained. but when 1t
came to the final adoption Of the Act
the provision was left out. So 1t is my
opinion that there is no doubt of the
right of the legislature to pass retro
spective laws"

The Friend has thrown up it's hands

doubt that Mr.. Wilcox will be the first
Delegate from our Territory to Congress"
Not If the people know it, dear Friend
Bulletin.
Overconfidence Is as much a vice Of
politics as underconfidence. The Ad-
vertiser cannot go so far as The Friend
in it's estimate of Mr.. Wilcoxs chances,
but it does not share the anticipations
of a walk-over expressed by the Bull
letin. Owing to the reckless policy Of
dividing the anti-Wilcox strength on
National party lines Wilcox certainly
has a good show-a much better one
than he deserves. Still he may be beat
en-. The idea, however, that he can be
easily beaten or that there are fore
gone conclusions against him Is not
held by any one who really knows the
native electorate.

FORESTRY QUESTIONS.

We are glad TO see an announcement
that Governor Dole viii reserve some
81 the forest lands on Hawaii and we
venture to express the hope that the
same policy VIII be pursued In the other
mountainous districts OF the group.
Eventually, II circumstances permit,
something more ought to be done In
! the way of reforestation. The work on
the slopes OF Tantalus. Represented by
great areas OF eucalyptus. has been so
| beneficial that we could wish to have II
go further and proceed on better
| principle. Directly east of Tantalus
are wide reaches of hilly upland that
have no trees to speak OF and are more
adaptable to the support of forests than
for anything else. The steep elevation
back OF Makiki, which Is one of the
mountain buttresses of the Manoa val
ley Is waiting for some one to cover II
with groves and so are many denuded
areas on the Waianae range. For the
sake of the rainfall these hilisides
should be covered with forests and of
a kind we may add; that would pay
for their keep.
The art of forestry does not merely
look to woody fibre and shade. If 1t
did the planted public forests of Ha-
waii might well run exclusively to eu-
calyptus and acacia. ugly as the for
mer and inferior as the latter are con-
coded to be. The question of CONNER
cial value must also be counted In.
rubber tree takes no longer to mature
than n monkey pod: sandal wood
tree will grow in this soil and climate
as easily as an algeroba; and date
palms thrive as well as palms which
yield no fruit. The rubber tree Is es-
pecially desirable not only because its
product is as easily gathered as maple
sap but for the reason that n revenue
from it, rs Is the case with the sandal
wood tree, does not require a constant
thinning out of arboreal growths. If
Round Top. east of the Tantalus forest.
was coveted with mature grove or
rubber trees the annual net revenue
from the sap would hardly fall below
800. 900. People have proved that the
rubber tree does well here: therefore 1t
ought to be planted out, wherever re-
forestatlon is attempted. In preference
to trees of ordinary quality.

The Advertisers artist, viewing Mr..
Damon's willingness to take any kind
of nomination that will bring him
votes. has conceived the idea OF an auc-
ton where the various political parties
come to bid. 1t cannot. be said that the
bidding is high; indeed the parties seem
to be impressed with the idea that
money should come in on the candi-
dates account and not go out Even
the Democracy is not liberal with its
offers, possibly from well-grounded
doubts of the party enthusiasm of a

dard bank, is a conscientious believer

visional government of Hawaii did his

Hawaii has not made much by its
displays at foreign expositions. Try as
people of standing might in 1898 at Chi
cago to draw notice to the climate,
scenery and agricultural resources of
these Islands. seven out of ten people
went around the corner to the hula
sideshow and got their impressions of
Hawaii there. No one has seen any
good results from the Omaha exhibit
and, all things considered, nobody had
a right to expect any. At Paris Ha-
wall is represented by strong men hut
the display seems to be lost in the
midst of great national collections.
Nothing has been sold on account of it,;
no tourist, so far as we know, has
found in it an inspiration to come and
see what we have to offer; and consid-
cred simply as an advertisement the
failure of the press to describe the ex-
hibit or to refer to it in any way, is a
fact of depressing significance.
