There is gentleman in Boston who
spent number OF years among the
various little South American repub-
lies and who gives an interesting ac-
count Of the methods of one Of these
small states when it comes to a ques-
ton Of making war. The navy Of
the particular power referred to con-
sists Of a single old fashioned side
wheel steamer, armed with one gun.
In time of peace she is engaged in haul
ing freight up and down the river
which runs close sothe capital.
At the outbreak Of one Of the perl
odical wars not SO very long ago the
president Of the republic took charge
Of the steamer and started up stream
on recruiting expedition, leaving his
senior general in charge Of the military
preparations at the capital. a couple
OF days later the steamer returned,
and some seventy miserable looking
natives, each firmly boand with q
strong rope, we're marched off and
turned overfto the general, with note
from the president which read.
Dear GeneralI send you herewith sew
enty volunteers. Please return the ropes

THE BASIS OF ATTACK.

1t will be seen that none of the
charges by which the outs" seek to
remove Governor Dole affect his hon
esty or that of his administration or
allege anything against the economy
or efficiency of the Territorial public
service.
The whole trend OF criticism is Mr.
Dole's unwillingness either to do pol
itics" himself in the machine fashion
or to step aside so as to give the trad
ing politicians a chance to move things.
Under it all, down at the substratum
of motives, we have the hard times.
Sugar is low, business is depressed,
the banks hold them purse-strings
tightly. Many people think that II Of
fees can be multiplied, great public
improvements begun and the treasury
made over into a sort of public soup
kitchen where every politician and ev-
cry heeler OF politicians may go and
help himself, Hawaii will prosper AZ
never before. Hence the howl for "a
change" the wolfish Clamor for a
chance to pull down fat steer.
But President Roosevelt, as an active
reformer in New York City, has COPIED
with such a situation before and viii
know how to do II again.

THE TUATUA REMEDY.

We are sorry that DR. Slogge,t, In an
swer to the inquiry of the German
consul as to the value OF the tuatua
remedy for leprosy, should have report
ed against II at this time. No one IN
Hawaii IS supposed to know anything
of what tuatua Will actually do. unless
it be the lady who has reported such
success with it in Tahiti or DIR. Camp,
who has interested himself in the cases
there and at last advices was hopeful
OF good results. According to Dr.
Sloggetts statement in the Star the
tests at Molokai have scarcely begun.
He says: We have not enough of the
plant to make experiments with at
present, but soon shall have, Dr. Oil
yer OF the leper settlement has been
given some, and is growing the plant at
I(aulapapa- AS soon as there is
enough he will experiment and We
shall get definite reports" And yet in
the same breath, the President of the
Board of Health adds, for the benefit
OF the German consul and the public,
that this talk of tuatua is all non
sense
Could Or. Sloggett have reached this
conclusion in scientific way? What
are his authorities? What experiments
has he witnessed? What data has he
with which to confound the United
States government which sent the tua-
tua plant here with the recommended
; ton that II be tried as n specific for
, the rotting plague? Upon what grounds
does he dispute the observations of an
| intelligent woman In Tahiti, familiar
with all forms OF leprosy. and interest
I ed in test of tuatua which. she AYERS,
/ is turning out successfully? What We
I fear is that DR.. Sloggett is basing his
/ views wholly upon that innate con-
! servatism OF the medical guild which
led the doctors Of the time to challenge
! Harvey's discovery OF the circulation
/ of the blood and Jenner's theory OF
vaccination. II so. We respectfully pro-
| test in the name of the victims of lep-
rosy in Hawaii and for the we'll being
of this Territory, Such conservatism
as we have described is that of the
horse which would rather stay in his
burning stable than break for the
open door.
one thing the public asks and ex-
poets OF the Board Of Health and its
President, is the widest hospitality 20

Prince Henry at Home.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-Striking in
deed is the way in which the gossip of
Prince Henry's trip has been allowed to
drop on this side of the water, says a
dispatch to the Herald from Berlin.
While the papers give much space to
all kinds of duh subjects the Princes
arrival is little more than casually
noted.

TROUBLES OF EXCLUSlONlSTS.

The exclusion bill, as strengthened
by Mr.. Kahn Of California, is faring
badly. At last accounts 1t was not
likely to pass and the anti-Chinese
party In Congress was at the point of
concentrating upon a plan to extend
the life OF the old law by ten years 1t
appears that the pressure of Eastern
and Southern interests, to say nothing
of those represented by the San Fran
cisco Chamber Of Commerce, has be-
come so great, that even the Geary act
is in danger and a rally to save that
is about the best that can be expected.
But can extension be legally made,
at least for more than two years, when
our present treaty with China ter
minates7 John w. Foster, one OF our
greatest authorities on constitutional
law, says that We have no right to
pass any statute beyond the life of the
treaty il affects. II that is true, the
exclusionists OF Congress may find, IL
they proceed with their substitute leg
islation, that they are merely paving
the way TO the destruction OF the Chi
nese exclusion law at the hands of the
Supreme Court.
In the meantime Senator Quay has
exploded bomb in the Kahn camp by
offering an amendment that mo Chi
nese Christian shall be excluded from
the United States" This has aroused
the church interests, both Catholic and
Protestant, and their weight is added
to that OF the farmers and the Western
and Southern commercial men. Should
any exclusion law so amended pass.
II would be rendered nugatory by a
wholesale conversion OF Chinese immi-
grants. Not pagan would knock at
the American door. Every son OF
China would come with a certificate of
baptism.
So what is 10 be done? Who knows ?
