THE PRESS AND THE PLAGUE.

~ II haasNN - a'D NV Il a. W =
Inc candid press of this city mas a
right to feel satisfaction at the way the
lard of Health has adopted its chief
proposals. For a long while these
papers had been pointing the way to
u-asric measures and criticising off,
Gals who he'd back. FinaAy me meas
ures were taken up, g.ngerIy at first
but with complete approval in the end,
and as a result we are in the way of an
early escape from the prevailing cpl
demic.
In the light OF these facts the state
ment that the two leading newspapers
nave come to the support Of the
Board" is puerile The truth is that
me board has come TO the support Of
he newspapers and the Community
they represent. If the Board had not
done SO the outlook would have been
several shades blacker than it is.
We cannot imagine a more worthless
public journal than one which pays
Sinking compliments where vigorous
clD.cism is needed and which stands
". moving wnaJ ought to be done and
yet says nothing either for fear of hurt
ing some delinquent officials feelings
or from a lively sense of reward at the
hands o. such an official. One function
Of the press is to hold public servants
up to the highest standards of duty
and this work the scar and Advertiser
have unhesitatingly performed. Al
ready the people of honolulu and the
BOard of Health itself have shown that
they appreciate the service.
But the duty of the candid press is
not yet done. The next thing which
the current exigency demands is the
complete divorce of the duties of At
torney General from those of President
of the Board of Health. This course
was long ago suggested; It may soon
have to be pressed in the form Of a bill
of particulars.

ON THE SEWER
Work on the Pipeline
and Reservoir.
Some PertinentRemarks by Contract
or BeIser Regarding the Con-
ditiOn Of South Street.

Contractor Belser. who is putting in
the sewer system now nearing compile
ton, is making rapid progress. and
some amount of work is also being
done on the outlet leading out into the
harbor and across the reef, 4 distance
of 4,SOO feet from the reservoir. \
gang of Chinese laborers is digging the
sewer ditch along the waterfront near
the foot of South street, and other
workmen are busy putting the finish
ing touches on the reservoir, though it
will be some time yet before it IS en-
tirely completed.
The reservoir represents the latest
ideas connected with the scientific dis
position of sewage, and is being solid
ly constructed of concrete. 1t is thir-
teen feet in depth, its top flush with
the surface of the ground, and il meas
ures 100 by 100 feet in size. The reser-
voir has sixty-fOur solid piers sup
porting the top. and sixteen yentiiators
extend above the arched covering. In
the corner nearest the city is the
screen-house and pump. In the event
"a AAAt AtSfA WIZ ENtAAhe1 OtN VI OlAANA
and the contents failing tc pass through
the 24-inch outlet into the sea, the
sewage can be turned out into the ebb
tide from a point on the main sewer a
few hundred yards away.
After being completed the reservoir
will be surrounded with loan and a
grass plot. The Waikiki sewer, which
is to be constructed later, will empty
TT hn1 ho afY
inst before the reservoir is reached.
The present contractors expect to Co
some little work on the Waikiki branch
but only enough to get it under way.
Contractor Belser remarked yester-
day that he had been astOnished H.
most beyond expression TO find such an
insanitary condition anywhere in HO-
nolulu as exists on lower South street.
All along the excavations the work
has been carried on in a thick stratum
of filth and old rubbish. the accumu
lation of years, while along the mar
row street in the poorer section there
are fostering heaps of filth and stag
nant water.
1T Is not so bad now as it was when
we began" said Mr.. Belser yesterday,
"for we have thrown barrels of lime
diOu6 tHe NOiSL places anu III IHlS man
ner greatly mitigated the nuisance.
Still. conditions are such that l have
often wondered if there was a Board
of Health in this city. / have done
enough of this sewer construction work
in other cities to know that unless Ho-
nolulu is put in n sanitary condition
the penalty will be heavy, but it will
have to be paid. But it seems that
there is q Board of Health, and that
there is an energetic movement to
cleanse the city. 1t cannot be done
too soon"

The death of Dwight l.. Moody re-
moved the most useful minister of the
Protestant religion known to any cOun-
try during the past thirty years. That
ia to say Mr.. Moody, by his precept and
example, enlightened more people in
religious matters and changed the cur
rents OF more lives than any of his
compeers Of the cloth. Without the
swelling eloquence Of Beecher, the SEN
satonalsm Of Talmage. the epigram-
matte point and sparkle of Sturgeon,
and far removed in character and relig-
ious methods from all the bishOprics.
he was yet able TO mold the clay of the
popular mind as none other could do
and shape it according to his own
bought. Mr.. MOOdy's old co-worker,
SanGey, was not far wrong when
spoke Of the dead clergyman as
"one Of the greatest humans" OF his
time.

CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKES.

Earthquakes in Southern California
are not so frequent as earthquakes on
the peninsula of San Francisco but as
a modern thing they are more severe.
Fourteen years ago that section ex-
perienced a lively temblOr which
brought reminders Of the destructive
Inyo county quake of an earlier period.
Again in 1891 the South was shaken
until many houses were ruined and the
tourists driven back East. The recent
shock seems to have put one town on
its back and damaged several other
places. Such visitation inspires more
terror than plague, especially in Cal
ifornia where one is never sure of es-
Gaping a general subsistence of the
coast strata. 1t cannot be very long
ago, owing to geological signs and the
freshness Of Indian traditions, since
portions of California were in a lively
seismic and volcanic state. John Muir
estimates that Lassen Peak was active
about century and a half ago. The
Indians living about San Francisco bay
in 1916 when Commodore Stockton was
,here fixed three generations back as
,-e time when an earthquake had split
open what $ now the Golden Gate and
let the sea INTO the valley of the lower
Sacramento, now the bay itself. They
said that formerly the river ran past
San Jose into Monterey bay, state
ment which the scientists have since
verified. Biologists believe that the
bay islands, Goat. Angel, Alcatraz and
Mission Rock, are the monuments of
submerged district. Considering these
changes of the earth's surface to be
historically recent the people of Calf
ornia always live in the half-expecta-
ton of Daing swallowed up over night
The slowness of the States growth is
measurably due to the fact, as Eastern
home-seekers, even those from the cy-
clone belts, easily catch the prevailing
and but partly-concealed apprehension.

sTACKABLEs PLANS.
He Wants Fumigation Sheds and
More Authority.

He Wants Fumi cation Sheds and
More Authority.
Collector General Stackable has
made a formal request of the Board Of
Health that he be empowered to build
fumigating barracks extending along
the Pacific Mail dock and back of the
new warehouse between the Pacific
Mail and the Claudine docks. He
says that this arrangement is neces-
saTy 10 insure the proper fumigation
of freight. Mr.. Stackable wants au-
thority to fumigate all Oriental freight
of whatever nature coming at whatever
time. His idea is that there is always
danger in freight from the Orient and
if proper fumigatiOn had been had in
November, this plague would not have
found Judgment ashore. He meets the
objection that such a policy would be
a discrimination In favor of the United
States, but says that this is not his
object. He merely contends that all
proper discrimination should be made
in favor of the people of Honolulu

General Butler may be counted on to
DO his best 10 win some great success
before Lord Roberts arrives Conse-
quently the news Of another bloody
battle may be looked for in the next
mail or very soon thereafter. The
Beers seem to anticipate some such
action on Buffers part and are con.
centrating a force large enough 20 give
the British commander all the fighting
his ambitious nature may crave. The
wits of the Boer government are not
only being applied to the campaign
bu, to the creation of new war be-
tween the British and the Cape Dutch.
The success of this measure would
mean an outbreak of civil war in Cape
Colony, where the Dutch are very
numerous. In that case fifty thousand
more men would be needed to protect
British lines of communication and
deai with the rebellious elements. It is
prospect which even Mr.. Chamber
lain cannot view with equanimity.

II Great Britain buys Delagoa bay
the French Government will, it is said
make stern protest. The interest OF
France in the matter concerns NADIA
gascar, a French possession which is
only separated from Delagoa bay by
the Mozambique channel. France does
not want another Gibraltar or Malta
built up there. Possibly this fac, nigh,
not affect Great Britain's desire to buy
but it might restrain Portugal5 anxiety
to sell.

ma. Minister Conger has ben instructed
by the state department to inform the
Chinese government that this govern
ment expects it to stamp out the society
promptly and thoroughly and to provide
proper guarantees for the maintenance

of the life and property of Americans in
China, all now threatened by the opera

There is no indication in the instruc-
tions as tothe course that will be pul-

Chinese government fails to observe the
warning conveyed in this commnnica-

Mr. Conger Is acting on parallel lines
with the representatives of every Euro

has not joined in any concert of action.
1t is realized here that the Chinese

teachings of the Christians are in their
