ONE HUGE CHARNEL HOUSE.
Awful Mortality that is Rapidly De- popuIatinE the AIeutian Isl-
 andS-Unburied Dead.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The rapid de- cline of the native population of the Aleutian chain of islands is told in a report just received by the Marine Hospital service from F. J. Thornbury, it's assistant surgeon at Dutch Har- Dor, Alaska. The report says that formerly there were 20 villages on the islands with native population variousIy estimated at from 1,50O to are only ten villages and 1 1000 inhabi- tants, exclusive of whites, of whom 300 are creoles (miXed breeds with Russian and other nationalities) and 700 Aleutes.
 The report says:
 Last year, Unalaska had 353 inhab- itants, 116, or nearly one-third of whom died. According to data ob- tained from the Russian priest of the Greek Catholic church, Rev. P. Kashererotf, who has the only mortali- ty records kept in the village, there being no health officer or even phy- sician, 30 deaths were ascribed to COIu, %t lO oO to measles seven to old age, and five were drowned.
 The remarkable morality from measles among the natives in Alaska during the past year appears as cribable largely to the bad sanitary environment and lack of precaution against exposure.
 "On the Kuskokwi and in other sec- tions on the mainland, from one-half to two-thirds of the natives died and many were left unburied in the mud houses where they lived, surviving members immediately deserting the huts which latter often contain from one to two dozen natives living re- gardless of family relations.
 As many as half a dozen dead bodies have been seen by prospectors in a single hOvel, and numerous dead bodies were seen lying about on the ground partly eaten by the foXes,"

HUMBUG ABOUT DOLE.

One gets quite weary of the imper
tinent stories told about the alleged in
tention of President Mckinley to "re1
move" Governor Dole. About once a
month such canards are printed here or
are sent out from Washington by cor
respondents who not only serve opposi-
ton papers in Honolulu but large
journals in the States, and who take
tips from Hawaii for use in their gen.
eral correspondence. These people are
never able to quote any one in author
lity; they simply talk from an anony-
nous standpoint and what they don't
know they invent
When at San Francisco President
Mckinley said he had no thought of
removing Governor Dole for whom he
felt the highest esteem and respect.
Since then nothing has occurred in the
case of the Governor to warrant the
national executive in changing his
mind
| If the Governor were incapacitated
from doing his official duty he would
resign. But he is now in excellent
health; the wheels of affairs are run
| ming smoothly; and if he lives he is
| quite as likely to fill out his term as
Governor as Mr.. Mckinley is to finish
his own term as President.

THE LESSON.
BY Rudyard Kipling.


Let US admit it fairly, as a business peo-
pie should,
We have had no end of a lesson; it will
do us no end of good
Not on a single ISSUE or in one direction
or twain,
But conclusively, comprehensively, and
several times and again,
Were all our most holy illusions knocked
higher than Gilderoy's kite.
We have had a jolly good lesson, and ii
serves us jolly well right!
This was not bestowed US under the
trees. nor yet In the shade of tent
But swing.ngly, over eleven degrees of a
bare brown continent.
From Lambart's to Delagoa Bay, and
from Pietersburgh to Sutherland,
Fell the phenomenal lesson we learned
with fulness accorded no other
land!
1t was our fault, and our very grea,
fault, and not the Judgment OF
Heaven!
We made an Army in our own image or
an island nine by seven,
Which faithfully mirrored it's makers
ideals. equipment and mental atti.
tude-
And SO we got our lesson: and we ought
to accept it with gratitudel
1t was our fault. and our very great fault
and now We must turn it to use
We have forty million reasons for failure
but not single excuse!
So the more We work and the less we
talk the better results we shall get
We have had an Imperial lesson; it will
make us an Empire yet!

PROTECTION OF COFFEE.

The difficulties in the way of getting
Congress to put a general duty on cof-
fee may be seen from a study of the
statistics and back-reference to the
action taken by Congress, through the
sugar clauses of the Mckinley bill, to
protect the cheap breakfast table
The trouble about national tariff
on coffee is, first that it would be I'M
popular with the people; second. that
it could not be justified by the capacity
of Americas known coffee-producins
areas to half supply the demand
What the demand is may be seen
from the following excerpt from the
New York Sun:
One-haH of the worlds production of
coffee berries is brought to the United
states. Americans are the greatest cof-
fee drinkers on the face of the globe
now, and every year the consumption of
coffee is increasing here.
Last year it was more than 10000. 900
pounds for the whole country, or more
than ten and one-half pounds a head of
the population. Germany and France to-
gether only consumed half as much cof-
fee, Germany less than six and one-half
pounds head, and France only four and
one-half pounds per capita.
The United Kingdom used little more
than half a pound Of the berries per
head of the population, but over there
they made up for 1t by drinking more tea
than any other nation.
More than a million dollars is sent out
Of the United States every week in pay
ment for coffee. South and Central
American countries. which supply US
with more than 6oooO0.oOO pounds of coffee
year, get most of the money Porto
Rico, Java and, the Philippines get almost
all the rest, but a little goes to Hawaii.
where they produce a very superior
brand of coffee berry.
Last year the total value of the coffee
imported into the United States was
about s60,0OO,0 GOO, and that was less than
for several years, because the price Of
coffee has fallen about one-half
These figures may well appal the Ha-
waiian coffee protectionists except those
who have turned to the expedient of a
special tariff on coffees imported to
these Islands alone Under late deci-
sions Of the Supreme Court 1t might
be lawful for Congress to give any Ter
ritory the benefit of q special tariff
In that event the only thing to con-
slider Is whether Hawaii wants to tax
itself to promote home industry AS a
protectionist journal the Advertiser is
not disposed to argue against such a
plan. believing, from the example of the
United States. that the public welfare
is built up, even at the penalty of high
prices, by the creation of new indus
tries which dro adequate to the tasks
imposed upon them.

THE BURGLAR.


The burglar is with us and people
may as well look out for him. He seems
to work with impunity and with ever
increasing holiness. Who he is can
only be conjectured. The new popula-
ton of Honolulu includes many tough
negroes from Tennessee, many evil
looking Porto Ricans and many tramps
of the sea; and as times begin to pinch
a little some of the Portuguese boys
who have been brought up in an at
mosphere of petty theft may try their
skill in the wider fields of crime and
be followed by others who have always
lived here. We are, in truth, begin
ming to acquire a criminal population,
something which we did not have in the
old days and which is one of the
penalties we must pay for the political
change which otherwise brought so
many blessings. In this as in all other
transactions of the kind the tail goes
with the hide,
HOW to deal with the burglar can be
judged by ones newspaper reading or
ones common sense. He is an outlaw
whom nobody was ever sent to prison
for shooting in the act. 1t is sur

familiar Young street depredator to a
swirl of buckshot or fortnight bullet;
but perhaps the omission will be soon
repaired. It is certainly time that the
prevalent burglar got something for his
pains more lasting than a scare.
Too much is left to the police. They
can't be everywhere in this city of mag
nificent distance and they can't see far
Their after dark than anybody else. The
best protection against the burglar is
the armed householder, the indoors
dog and now and then a simple, cleo
trical burglar alarm. The morgue will
do the rest.

JAPANESE pouTENEss,

The Star In an article on Japanese
crimes says 1T Is curious that an ultra
degree of politeness and of culture,
which even the lower class of Japanese
display, should be united with such an
utter disregard for the value of human
life"
A study of the origin of Japanese
politeness brings US back to a close re-
lation between that quality and the
homieidal spirit of the race Fifty
years ago every Japanese gentleman
wore two swords and dagger, and
was accustomed, when anybody ag-
grieved him, to settle the matter with
cold steel. In case the offending party
was of too high rank to be assaulted
with lethal weapons, the other man
committed suicide; in the case of an In
ferior he committed murder. Inevitably
in q society of men so much In peril
from one another the habit of polite
ness grew apace. Each man was care
full not to offend his superior or insult
his equal. There was a vast deal of
bowling and scraping; and the custom
of prostrating oneself to another and
touching the head to the ground became
d SapdneSe ShdidctefiSlic but 1t was
the law of self-preservation at work,
not the outward show Of inward good
will. The Jap of the Samurai who
bowed so low when the Daimio passed
by thrust his sword the next moment
through the entrails of the ignorant
coolie who came between the wind and
his nobility. There was so much of this
as time went on that the Japanese who
had not graceful bend and a mobile
smile and could not disembowel an ad-
versary with one cut, was no true son
of the soil. So much bloodshed made
the Jap Indifferent to human life other
than his own; SO much necessity to
guard his own existence made him the
most mannerly of men and perhaps the
most insincere in his politeness.

THE EPISCOPAL APPEAL.

The Episcopalian body of Hawaii will
make, as is elsewhere shown, strong
appeal for American jurisdiction. It is
an appeal that the House of Bishops
and the House of Deputies will find it
difficult to deny The argument is all
on the side of the petitioners who are
confronted by no precedent justifylns
the exclusion of the American Episco-
pate from American SOIL Indeed the
Anglican church assumed, when II
severed it's relations with Bishop Willis,
that the American church, by automatic
process, would take jurisdiction here.
It is said that Bishop Willis has no
objection to this change of allegiance
providing the American church viii take
the See as it is. He would be more than
willing to become the American Bishop
of Honolulu. But the temper of the
Episcopalian body is very clear and
keen-edged when it comes to this. For
these many years the churchmen have
been at odds with His Lordship and
the differences that exist cannot be re-
conciled by his assumption of the hick-
DRY crook of a Yankee shepherd. We are
told that if Bishop Willis remains, the
old troubles will stay Money gifts, as
usual, will be few and far between.
Attendance at the Bishops services
will continue to fill the cathedral with
the spirit of clustered loneliness. The
progress of the church in Hawaii Will
be mere figure of speech. 1t cannot
be that the American Episcopate will
feel considering the interest 1t has
shown in expansion, like checking the
progress of the church in Hawaii out
of sympathy for a Bishop who wins no
sympathy from his diocese. 1t may,
indeed, consider the wisdom of taking
the Anglican shepherd in and giving
him a high Episcopal billet in some
other part of the new possessions, for
Sulu and Guam and Mindanao sadly
need an Episcopal See, but. to keep him
here would, under the circumstances,
seem to be an act of serious impoliey.
If the House of Bishops preserves an
open mind there ought to be no trouble
about convincing it of these facts.
With this diocese made a part of
that of Southern California, for exam
pie, the Hawaiian church will move
forward as fast az it does on the coast
and will be prepared to branch out In
many paths of progress. If Bishop Will
lis private See remains no one will
seriously object save for its possible
control of some valuable church prop
