Question.
To The Editor of the NEW DOMINION.
From some cause or causes we
are afflicted at the present time with
an epidemic of Typhoid fever. The
number of cases continue at about
the same quota. We have had
many theories in regard to the in
fection producing this state of sick
ness, upon the probable causes l
will not touch, but upon facts as /
see them. There are three forms of
uncleanlfness that are the predis-
posing and exciting causes. 1st.
Personal uncleanliness disregard of
the oath, the breathing of pure
air, the unhygienic preparatmonof
food. End. Domestic unclean n ess,
lack Of sewerage for kitchen and
closet waste, deposit of fuel waste
upon the ground, improper yentila-
ton of sleeping rooms and of bed
ding. Bird. Municipal uncleanli.
ness. Failure of Council through
financial stringcncy to provide pub
lie sewers in the different parts of
the city. In some sections OF the
town the streets are used as storage
houses, wagons are left on the puplic
highways There are excavations
and the dirt is left and the pave
ments are not properly replaced
Now what we need is 20 clean up
personally in the home and as
city. Do not let US wait any longer
1.-The ounce of prevention is wo tn
more than pound of cure"
There is small pox in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, our neighbors. Thou
sands of dollars are expended for the
so-called stamping out of disease
when the cause of 1t is within our
power to prevent.
The city water will be analyzed
and examined Internationally, and
no matter what 10 found 1T is good
judgment to avert all causes until
we know the state of water. 1t can
be boiled and aerated and used for
cooking and drinking purposes
Epidemic of disease can be prevent
ed. Let us spend the money on
sewerage for home and city rather
than in an attempt to" stamp out"
disease after it has gained foot
hold due to neglect
l wish to warn all citizens in
general way to remedy all unsani-
tary conditions of their premises.
The health office cannot know OF the
many cases of imperfect sewerage
and accumulated deposits of filth,
and if the city ordinance in regard
to infringement of health laws are
disregarded the cases will be turned
over to the legal members OF the
Board. Yours,
DIR. WARREN, Health Officer.

KEEP THE FLEET.

There are rumors of an early depar-
ture of the fleet. If they are due to
the probabilities of war in the Far
East, and IL war actually threatens,
nothing can be done to induce the Gov
eminent to hold the vessels here longer
than the time in which they can be put
In readiness to leave. But II the move
is simply a routine matter, we judge
that the Governor and commercial
bodies of Honolulu could do much,
through their friends at Washington,
to secure longer visit.
Such influences have sifficed many
and many a time on the Pacific Coast.
There the North Pacific fleet has been
moved around at the pleasure, almost.
of coastwise towns, which wanted 1t
to assist in public or social observances.
Admiral Gherardi attended the Cabrillo
celebration at San Diego in 1892 with
three vessels; there have been visits
of battleships and cruisers to San
Pedro during the Los Angeles fiestas
and at Seattle and Portland celebra-
tons; and at no time have such cities
been refused when they asked for n
longer call. Washington likes to have
the American people familiariZed with
the Navy and partly for that purpose
1t sent a monitor up the Mississippi to
st. Louis a few months ago. SO If we
show a disposition to entertain our
guests awhile longer all we have to do
is to signify the fact to the President
and Secretary of the Navy and they
will do their best for us unless war
on the Asiatic station makes an i'm
perative demand for the ships.
Under the circumstances Honolulu
ought to act through joint cablegram
to the President and Secretary of the
Navy asking for a longer stay of Adj
miral Evans fleet, the message to be
signed by the Governor, Chamber OF
Commerce, Merchants Association and
Builders and Traders Association.

the NAN BEHIND THE GUN.

The American sailor is improving
with the ships of the navy. He is still
n somewhat strenuous man, as becomes
his trade. and he has his marine lido
syncrasies" as Admiral Evans admits
but between the bright, active, decent
young seaman OF today and the beach,
combing reprobate of generation or
less ago, is difference which does
honor to the system under which the
men of the new navy have been re-
cruited and trained. ......
In earlier days the most of Uncle
Sans seamen were taken from the
rough old merchant marine, often that
of some other country than our own;
also from among wharf rats and riv-
er boatmen. They would fight under
good officers but it was terror to
have them ashore. When the navy
ceased to be thing of sails and be-
came a steam mechanism, intricate OF
design and complicated of process. 1t
was possible to enlist better class of
men. There was not then much call
for the old focastle hand of the mer-
chantmen; what the navy wanted
were mechanics and men out of whom
to make artillerymen. Then young
men from country towns who had
never smelt salt water, became avail
able, and the class attpacted from sea-
port towns was, in the main, decent
and manly. Three hundred sailors of
the old class turned loose in Honolulu,
demoralized the town three thousand
of the kind now in port give very little
trouble either to citizens or police.
One thing that has contributed to the
improvement of the service is better
treatment of the men. Theyf have
good sleeping and eating accohmoda-
tons and superior fare; they are treat
ed like fellow Americans, as indeed
most of them are Steadily the per-
centage of American nativity has
risen in the navy until 1t is now very
high; and the average of patriotism
and self-respect has grown with it,
As the morale of the service increases,
good men are drawn into it thus keep
ing the level high and rising Further
more, with the disappearance of the
old slow-coach ships, sailors are not
compelled to be on deep water inter-
minably; they are hurried from one in
teresting place to another in the crack
modern cruisers and see great deal
of the world in short time. This al
SO attracts young men Of good class.
Hence the American sailor of today
healthy, erect, clean-looking, even his
vices being sturdy and above board
He is welcome to Honolulu now and
In the future-welcome in port and
ashore, a good fellow to know and a
man to depend on.

ENGLAND'S ASIATlC PERIL

Great Britain Is strangely supine in
the matter of the Russian conquest
of Manchuria and Korea. Though
committed on the northern border of
India to the doctrine Of the buffer
State. she does not seem to realize the
value to her Indian possessions of
maintaining in China a Territorial
status quo which will keep Russia from
advancing to the regions held by the
latter's French allies on the Eastern
borders of India For the greater part
of India, China is the real buffer State;
and it is becoming plain that Russia
means to dominate the whole of that
empire and that her ultimate aim may
be to rule all Asia, from the Arctic
ocean to Colombo and from Behring
Strait to the Red Sea and the Mediter-
ranean.
In achieving such a conquest the
ownership of China would prove to be
a factor of enormous value. One must
never forget, in summing up the gains
to Russia, the potential military might
of the Chinese people. Lord Wolseley
has more than once pointed out the
"somber strength" of China; the GER
tainty that the yellow race, when
properly drilled and disciplined, will
furnish multitudes of Incompatible
soldiers, obedient fatalistic, putting
small value upon life and physically
virile and tireless. Owning China, the
Gear could organize a million of its
young men into an army as warlike
as that which was led by Genghis or
Kublai in the old days of Mongol glory:
and II he should send that army into
India under the pretext of freeing its
people from the British yoke. all the
Kings horses and all the Kings men
might not be able to prevail against
them.
This is why the supineness of Great
Britain Is so inexplicable. Joined
with Japan she could at least save
China and Korea IL not Manchuria;
holding aloof from that alliance, which
she once half-entered, Great Britain
leaves Russia to play game which
is to be ultimately directed against
herself
