KILLING OFF THE
SUEZ MOSQUITOES

| Practically annihilated." Such is
! the epitaph on the ordinary mosquito
at Ismailia. according to recent re-
port of the Suez Canal Company. The
| happy result was due to the applica-
| ton of the wellknown methods of mos
quito determination urged by Major
Ross. 1t is further stated in this re-
port of the Canal Company to the
Liverpool school of Tropical Medicine,
that even the deadly notwithstanding
Anopheles has been attacked with
great success. This will be good news,
though no surprise, to the vivacious
Major Ross, whose sprightly descrip-
ton of mosquito brigades'' moving
upon the enemy of mankind must be
familiar to many of our readers. What
can be done in the tropics can certain
ly be done in the latitude of New York
One incidental good of the plague of
the past three weeks has been the
rousing of boards of health and local
committees to renewed efforts against
the mosquito. Science points the way
to his extipation, and thought and
time and money applied to the work
are as much called for as in any other
form of public sanitation.-The Nation.

THE KALIHl DETENTION CAMP,

Mr.. Schnack's inquiry as to why the
Kalihi camp is maintained gets answer
as follows:
The Government feels that the camp
may be needed again for it's original
purpose and in the meantime does not
object to getting rentals from it.
The objections to this policy are three
fold: One is that the camp is more
likely to become a center of sickness
than a refuge from it; CD the Gov
eminent has no moral right to go into
the lodging house business as a COM
petitor of those who pay it taxes and
license fees for the same privilege: 90
the camp is. as Mr.. Schnack points out.
colonizing place for corrupt and
ignorant voters. AS such it finds its
chief political favor among Home
Rulers.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is that the camp should be closed to
await, in cleanliness and good order,
any possible necessity for its use as
a detention depot.

The Nation strikes at fair mark
in the following editorial paragraph:
General Woods promotion by the
President to be major-general will have
a very bad effect upon the discipline
of the army. The question is not so
much of the means by which General
Wood attained his present rank, as OF
his military fitness for the higher one
to which he is now designated. When
President Mckinley made him briga-
der. the army felt that it was case
of favoritism. His promotion to be
major-general by Roosevelt will be con-
sidered by the best men in the army
as a slight put upon demonstrated mill
itary capacity. In the course of
Few years, unless the President OF the
time has the courage to pass him by
Gen. wood-an army surgeon-wil De-
come the head of the army. With him
will be associated, as senior major
generals, those heroes of many hard
fought interview. Fred Grant and

4 The coming of the Transports to Ho-
nolulu means the spending of several
| thousand dollars a week in Honolulu,
the bulk of which goes into the hands
OF the small traders, the hackmen. the
restaurants, the markets and the curio
stores. This money goes directly into
circulation and makes itself felt in the
general market TO a far greater ex-
tent than a much larger sum coming
to bank or TO a single commercial
house. The securing of the transport
service is a good job, well accomplished.
The establishment of the Tourist
Promotion Agency is. however, only the
beginning OF a good work Whether
the Agency is a success or not depends
upon not only how is it managed. but
how it is supported. Knowing the char
acter of the men who have established |
it, the public need no further assurance |
that it viii be managed well. How it is
TO be supported depends not upon the
cement. but upon the general
public.

INJUSTICE TO IRELAND.

| The Irish bill. which had such fan
passage in the House Of Commons, has
met a rough sea in the House OF LorGs
The result is not unexpected. OF Bour-
bons who learn nothing and forget
nothing, there are no finer examples
than the peers Of Great Britain. Quite
out Of touch with the generous senti-
ments of the people, living in an at
mosphere of rarefied exclusiveness all
! their own, the antithesis rather than
the corollary of the Englishmen of the
other House, they are incapable of
yielding any privilege, however wrong
full or impolitic TO hold, which has been
enjoyed by their class. Every political
advance made by Englishmen for hun
dreds of years has found its chief OBJ
stables in the House of Lords; and The
economic progress of the country has
not derived much acceleration there.
But for English reverence for Drece-
dent such an anachronism as the up
per House would have been extinguish-
ed during the Nineteenth century or
else the membership would have been
made elective. somewhat like that OF |
the Senate of the United States.
Should the bill be finally defeated or /
the effect upon Ireland |
would be weakening to Great Britain. |
The Cancellation of Ireland is an essay /
n high politics. Let Great Britain find
tself in life and death struggle with
ome great power and the position of
Ireland would become highly impor-
ant. It would determine whether the
United Kingdom could present an I'M
ivided front to the enemy or whether
would be compelled to undergo a
omestic struggle at the same time. An
roland in revolt at a critical moment
Tould be a serious matter for England,
ence the wisdom of treating the most
istressful country in a spirit of alb
oiute fair play.
