The chophouses, az such, are bound to
disappear. Those which will survive must
adapt themselves to changed conditions
The art Of attending to the gastronomic
needs Of the public has been developed
here to an extent that cannot be paral-
leled anywhere else. And not only is It
possible for the most fastidious to get ex-
actly what he wants. but he gets 1t at
more reasonable prices than he would
pay I'm London. for example. There are
many reasons why New York is a good
place to i've In. And this is one Of them.

How Not To Catch n Burglar.


Chief Ripley says that II Is the duty
of every good citizen to always be pre-
pared to XIII instantly any burglar he may
find in his house. and he adds that the
failure to attend to TINS little duty has
encouraged the burglary business to such
an extent that the condition OF affairs has
become alarming. Cut out Chief kipley's
card of instruction, read the suggestions
carefully a number OF times. and the
next time you raise up In bed and lind a
burglar in the house you win not remem-

CLEVELAND AND THE WAR.

Those who thought Grover Cleveland
wanted 10 call OFF the Philippine war
will be surprised at the utterances in
the following letter which that dis
tinguished and-imperalist has address
ed to the New York World:
No nation, however peacefully in
clined and whatever the consequences
may be, can determine that it will in no
circumstances engage in war. Bad as il
is and ueplorab.e as its incidents are,
no government can refuse war AT the
risk of imperiling its existence or sac
rliicing .he rights and interests II holds
in trust for its people and Tor humanity
and civilization. In view of sucn an
unacceptable liability to be brought face
to face with the question of war, and
in view of wars real nature and de-
noralizing effect upon our national life
and character, we cannot fail 10 be
most seriously impressed by the re-
Election that we have expressly author
lied those TO whom we have intrusted
our public affairs to determine for us
the mOmentous issue of peace or war,
and that if the determination be for
war our ready and unquestloning ac-
quiescence becomes patriotism and The
support of our country's contention be-
comes good citizenship.
other men might have put the idea
in fewer words but the meaning would
be the same namely, that patriots may
differ about making war but having
made 1t they should fight it through
The sentiment is an excellent one and
it ought TO put Mr.. Cleveland in touch
with the attitude of Hawaiian Ameri-
cans some six years ago when they re-
sisted his proposal to abandon the
ground they We're holding against a
domestic foe.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1900-01-05
THE PRESS AND rHE PLAGUE

The candid press of this city has q
right to feel satisfaction at the way the
.oard of Health has adopted its chief
proposals. For a long while these
papers had been pointing the way to
q astic measures and criticising Off
cials who held back Finally the meas
urRs were taken up, gingerly 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
have come to the support of the
Board is puerile. The truth is that
the Board has come to the support OF
the 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 more worthless
public journal than one which pays
snirking compliments where vigorous
cnucism is needed and which stands
oy, nnowing what ought to be done and
yet says nothing either for fear Of hurt.
ing some delinquent officials feelings
or from 4 lively sense of reward at tbs
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 Star and ADVERTISER
have unhesitatingly performed, Al
ready the people of Honolulu and tho
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 soor
have to be pressed in the form of a bill
of particulars.

SALT WATER FLUSHING.

Now that sanitation is the chief topic
of local concern it may be well to re-
cur to Chief Hunts idea of flushing the
sewers with salt water and see if the
means for that purpose cannot be pro-
yided by the time the sewers are ready
for public use.
Sewers are a danger to health when
flushing is imperfectly done and the
only way perfection can be had in this
city, where the fresh water reservoirs
are so often low, is by employing ocean
brine. 4 sewer system permitted to
become clogged, or only half flushed
emits a deadly gas which finds its way
TO everybody's bathroom. The result
is diphtheria and kindred ills. But the
history of the abatement of sewer gas
diseases in certain part of san Fran
cisco which was once sorely visited by
them, shows beyond a doubt how much
may be done in the remedial way by
thorough flushing especially with salt
water.
This San Francisco example is an in
teresting one Its hygienic and sanl-
tary features were implanted but We're
none the less effective on that account.
John d. Spreckels and other capitalists
put some money into the great Lurline
baths at the corner of Bush and Larkin
streets in the midst of the district
where complaints about sewer gas had
been most frequent. These baths are
supplied with fresh ocean water pump
ed from the neighborhood of the Cliff
House, six miles away. Mr. Spreckels
and his partners did not think of sewer
gas at all when they built the Lurline;
they We're merely after the silver quar-
tiers of the great unwashed. But it
turned out that the nightly emptyins
of the big tank into the sewers so eff
fectually cleaned and sailed Them that
complaints of sewer gas in that district
came TO an end, diphtheria and mala-
rial fever nearly disappeared and the
health rate along the line of the Lur
lines outflow is now as high as 4; is on
Pacific Heights, Preside Heights and
Mob Hill.
