THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION MEETS

There was a meeting of the Board OF
Education at the Judiciary building
yesterday afternoon. At first there was
no quorum, only Minister Mott-Smith,
Mrs. Hall, DIR. Maxwell, the Inspector
General, and the Travelling Normal In
structor being present. The various
action taken by these members was
afterwards approved, when Mr.. Won
Holt and Professor Alexander came in,
making a quorum.
Minister Mott-Smith reported the
resignation of Armstrong Smith a5
principal of Kaiulani school, TO take
effect April II. The Inspector General
had authorized Mrs. Frasher, the vice
principal of the school, to take charge
until further orders, and had transferr-
ed Miss Il. Il. Snow from the Chinese
school to assist Mrs. Frasher, and Miss
Carrie Rowland to take Miss Shows
place. Approved.
The Chinese girls school having been
burned in the big fire, the Inspector
General was authorized to investigate
the situation and report the necessities
OF the case. At this point Minister
Mott-Smith left to attend the meeting
OF the Council of State, and Professor
Alexander took the chair. The latter
read reports of two meetings of the
committee on teachers. The recon-
mendations were acted on as follows:

Beretania Street.
A compromise has been effected be-
tween the Minister of Interior and the
property owners along Beretania street
whose premises have lately been
shrunk as a result OF the widening OF
the street. Protests from Llliuokalani's
agents and or Mrs. Adams were filed
some time ago, because the Govern
ment desired to pay but a third of
what the property holders thought
their frontage was worth. A compro-
mise on a split-the-dfference basis was
finally brought about to the mutual sat
isfaction of Government and owners.

The opening up of the land upon
which Chinatown formerly existed, is
now only a matter of few days. The
reports from the committee which has
been handling the soil is nearly ready,
and from remarks which have been
dropped by the members, there have
been no microbes of plague discovered.
Experiments recently conducted in
Germany show that the microbes of
plague cease to exist after they have
been buried for seventeen days. While
DIR. Weyman, United States surgeon
general, says that the bacilli of bubonic
plague die in three or four hours in
direct sunlight. If these and other au-
thorities are correct, the Chinatown
site has been free of plague bacilli for
a very long time.

The utter lack of mortality statistics
upon the other Islands is made manifest
by the report of DR.. Peterson, who
found it impossible to get information
about the number of deaths among
Japanese laborers in the districts where
they were employed, and had to fell
back upon the five immigration compa-
MES in Honolulu for statistics. But if
the statistics had been carefully kept
in the various districts there would
have been no need for DR.. Peterson to
"fall back" upon anybody. There should
be authoritative statistics in every dis
trict. 1t is to be hoped that now the
plague is practically over. the Board
of Health will attend to this necessary
reform, Like many other things about
the Board of Health, there is ample
law, only the law has gone by default.

REGENERATION.

The condition of affairs in China, ur-
der the rule of the Dowager Empress
TIE Hsi, seems to be verging on the
Robespierre situation in France of over
a century ago. This delectable lady is
giving the world a true specimen Of
the rule of such monsters as Tamarlane
and Genghiz Khan before whom all
Asia trembled, and Europe had good
cause to shudder.
1t is extraordinary that at the end of
the nineteenth century such ideas of
government should still survive, but it
serves to show how much leaven will
be required to leaven the whole lump.
There is a mighty lot of unleavened
paste which needs leavening
The effort of the enlightened Chinese
men who have been brought up in
American universities, who have ming
led with American people, who have i'm
bibed the ideas of American liberty, and
who have mentally drunk in the free
dom of thought of the American press
and of the Western literature--the et-
fort of these men is in the true line Of
progress.
We often are in the habit of deriding
the Oriental for his conservatism.
Japan, not so long ago, in the period
of less than an ordinary life time show
ed the western arrogant that a nation
could do away with it's conservatism
and come into the front rank of the ma
lions. There are many crudities to be
pared off from the illiterate japanese,
there is need of repression among the
most enlightened Japanese, but the
general average is really wonderful.
What Japan has done, large section
of China is anxious to do. The thinkers
of China wish to put their country upon
The plane Of modern progress. The con-
servative Chinese meet their aspira-
lions with the argument of the axe, or
boiling oil or something pleasant of that
sort. The unthinking of the western
nations meet their efforts with derision
and cite the cruelties of Chinese troops
lead by Manchu generals.
Undoubtedly the cruelties cited took
place But are the Chinese reformers
striving to perpetuate these cruelties?
Certainly not. They are striving to
get their cOutry into a condition under
which such things can never occur
again. From this point of view it seems
as if all enlightened men of the western
world should give their best support
or sympathy to the Chinese reformer. |
His is perilous task. He has to meet
conditions that our ancestors had to
meet and overcome a couple of hundred
years ago, and he has to do it at the |
risk of his life. Not only at the risk
of his life in his own country, but in |
almost every spot of earth where he |
can find refuge. For cupidity will force
evil men of all nationalities to do the |
worst of evils, and there are human

The captains say that the sailors who
are applying to Mrs. Berger for charity,
and getting free meal tickets are not
what they represent themselves to be.
This is the advantage of publicity. Had
The Star not make enquiries into the
condition Of the unemployed, Mrs.
Berger would not have had her atten-
ton called to cases of imposition. Now
the matter can be fully investigated
and if it is proved that what the cap
tains say is correct, the men can be
very promptly dealt with. But. not ali
who claim to be out of work are sailors,
and there are true cases of great hard
ship which need assistance. There are
undoubtedly people who are perfectly
willing to work but who cannot get
work. Some of these went away yes
terday, but there are quite a number
who cannot get away, and who do not
wish to become objects of charity, and
who do honestly desire to work. In
finding that one class has been impos-
ing upon the charitable we must not
fly to the other extreme and think that
all have been imposing.

The Board of Health has invoked the
law in the matter of the poi shops, and
has drawn up a set of regulations for
the guidance of all manufacturers of
that article of diet. This is well as far
as it goes, but the Board of Health
must see to it that it's regulations are
carried out. The statute book and the
Board of Health records are full of
excellent regulations, but they have
never been carried out, or if carried out
for a time, have then been allowed to
fall into innocuous desuetude. The reg
ulations must be enforced.

wolves to be found in every part Of the
globe. Not Chinese wolves, only, but
American, British, French, German,
Russian, and representatives Of every
nation under the sun.
The proper attitude of enlightened
people towards the Chinese reformer is
first to find out whether the person is
really earnest or only trading upon
sympathy. When that is settled, 1t
should be one of kindly feeling and even
of admiration for man who is risking
his life, and facing, mayhap, torture
of excruciating kind to uplift his fellow
countrymen.
When one sees and talks with a man
who is devoting his life to such cause
the old song of the Roman gladiators
seems to ring in ones ears:
AVE CAESAR! MORITURI TIE
SALUTANTi
For of a surety every one of them is
in the position of saying "moriturus,"
am about to die, and the Roman glad
iator's song was Hail, Caesar! Those
about to die, salute thee"

GOT ITS VOTE.

The passage of the item of S25,000 to-
wards the Hospital for Inrurables is
Batisfa Glory. A few days ago a major
itY of the members of the Council did
not consider that the hospital could be
regarded in the light of an emergency,
and acted upon the advice of the attor-
ney general, but since then better
thoughts have come, and the Council
came to the conclusion that it was quite
within their powers to vote the money
and that it was true, as stated in these
columns, that from fifty to sixty items
had been voted which could not be re-
Earded as nearly so much of an emer-
gency as the Hospital for Incurables
was.
The vote, on motion of Mr.. Kaulukou,
was reconsidered, and passed with the
amendment that 100000 be raised by
subscription. The sum ought to be
raised, and then the hospital will be on
a permanent basis, and will not be an
institution living from hand to mouth.
With this sum suitable building could
he erected, while minor subscriptions
could be obtained to carry on the run
ming expenses. Indeed, once established
on the firm basis indicated, there can be
little doubt that Territorial Legisla-
ture would grant the institution a reg
ular subsidy towards running expenses,
Just as the old Legislature has done to
the Queens Hospital from the time of
its institution.
What little has been already done has
been most satisfactory. George Carter
In his remarks upon the hospital before
the Associated Charities, says that dur
ing the month of March the institution
Furnished a clean and comfortable
place for nine people to die in" Their
last days on earth were not passed in
squalor and filth, an offence to them
selves and to those among whom they
lived. To have smoothed the waning
life of these poor creatures, and to have
rendered the passage to the grave
pleasanter and easier, is indeed a work
of true charity. No effort should be
spared to make this institution perma-
nent, and the community can feel ar
sured that in Mr.. Young they have a
man who will spare no effort.

The Thyra freight should be most
thoroughly fumigated. 1t was merchan-
disc from that vessel which is strongly
suspected of introducing plague into
these Islands. The authorities seem to
be quite alive to the situation, and It
may be promised that the Thyra's cargo
will be treated to careful fumigation.
It might be a wise thing for the bacter-
iologist to see if he cannot secure some
microbes and make thorough micro
scopical examination.

"STREW THE STATE WITH
CORPSES."

The Fusion orators and rOustabouts
are engaging in much incendiary talk.
The fellows who are doing the talking
have no idea of confronting outraged
white men themselves, but they are
willing that their ignorant followers
should meet their death in a bloody
conflict to keep them in office. We
have heard this sort of talk before.
We heard it in 1898 but when the time
came to wade through blood TO the
bridle-bits' the Buffers and Black
burns were not ready to lead the ne
groes they hoped to inflame, and the
negroes wisely refrained from precip-
itating a race conflict in order to keep
a lot Of cowardly white blusterers in Of
fee. 1t will be the same way this
year. The Charlotte Observer. writ
ing about the talk Of blood, recently
said:
about six weeks ago prominent
North Carolina Republican, visiting
in Washington, declared in converse,
ton that rather than see the Amend
ment carried the Republicans would
strew the State with corpses. = =
1t is to be added, however, that this
Republican who talked so wildly in
Washington was a little drinky, and
then what he said can be taken for
whatever the reader thinks it is worth.
But all this kind of talk is dangerous
and trouble may easily come out OF it,
and Chairman Simmons well said, that
if there should be demonstration of
violence the Democrats will know
''who instigated it and where to place
the responsibility" That is the way
to talk it."
