THE PLAGUE AND AFTER.

There is now reason to hope that
the plague has subsidized, but it is too
early to say that it has disappeared.
Honolulu has proved, however, that it
can handle the malady and that clean
illness is a specific against which the
The first setback the plague had was
the Chinatown fire; the second was
the general cleaning-up of the city. By
means of these agencies, which include
the killing Of rats, we have come to the
point where any fear of a widespread
and resistless epidemic is at an end
Better than serum, better than any
thing else, are the torch, the disinfect-
ant and the scrubbing brush. In hoe
signo vinces.
Whether we shall have other pesti-
lences in future or a recurrence of this
one depends upon the way in which
the Government applies the serious
lessons which the cholera and the bu-
bonic plague have taught. 1t must not
be forgotten that Honolulu is still on
route which plaques are likely to
follow. The city does and must con-
tinue to do business with China and
Japan, and in respect of sugar bags
and few other commodities with
the Philippines and India. There is
no knowing when infection will arrive
at our wharves. That visitation we
may not be able to help, but one thing
we can do, and that is to see that the
immigrating germ, whether of plague
| cholera or yellow fever, finds no place
in which it can live and propagate
| There must be no more cesspools-
which implies a complete sewer sys-
tenn; no more stagnant ponds-which
means drainage and the filling UP OF
quagmires; no more shacks, or build.
ings set on the ground-which implies
a radical change of our building laws
And Honolulu must insist on a Board
of Health that will be as diIigent in
providing the ounce of prevention as
the present one mas been In supplying
the pound of cure.
After 1895 this community settled
back with an easy optimism, idly
watching two excavators trying to keeI
down the accumulations of filtt
among 10000 people. 1t was a hope
less undertaking, of which we nov
have the natural result in long deatl
roll. Are we going to become opti
mistic again? God forbid! We mus
see to it that Honolulu gets all thu
sanitary appliances it ought to hav,
and that no individual and no estat
or corporation, however rich or pow
; erful, is permitted to commit nui
sances. The undertaking will be cost
; ly, but far cheaper, both in life an
, money, than epidemics.

The foreign missions in Japan are
hampered by the strong feeling Of ma
tionality and sslf-dependence which ex-
lists among Japanese people. The little
brown men assert a sense of equality
with foreigners which leads them to
resent the idea of being treated as
heather in their blindness" On this
account one of the denominations rep
resented in the mission field has with
drawn its white workers, leaving the
conduct of It's affairs to native prose
lytes. In the long run other religious
bodies may have to follow this example
or take the risk of losing all the ground
they have gained. Instead of sending
missionaries TO Japan it may be deemed
more expedient to use available funds

Deserters from the transports who
try to hide in Japan invariably come
TO grief. With the admirable police
system which autocratic monarchies
possess, Japan keeps tab on every in
habitant and on every stranger within
her gates. People can no more hide
there than they can in a boarding
school. The men who left the trans
ports at Nagasaki managed to get
thirty miles into the interior when the
alert village police picked them up and
returned them to the port. The only
surprising thing in the affair is that
the deserters made their way so far.
