ConciIiatOry Spirit in the North.

There has been q growing consciousness
In the North that the treatment Of the
former Confederate States. during and i'm
mediately after the reconstruction period
was brutal In its injustice and noman-
tous in its evil consequences. A dispoaf-
ton Is shown to aid the South
at least TO the extent of dis
couraging the meddling enterprises
OF selfish Northern politicians, who
would on Of ignorance and partisan-
ship. enact legislation in the States above
the Mason and Dixon line. The way to
suppress this kindly feeling and to re-
kindIe the sectional hatreds OF thirty
years ago, is TO extend Mr. TiIlman's

the Japanese to draw attention al
Washington through the proper dlplo-
matte channels to some proposed
changes In the health precautions exer-
cised by the Marine Hospital Service
against japanese immigrants afflicted
with trachoma, who come to Hawaii.
The present law requires the physi-
clans to order deported any Japanese
immigrants who have trachoma. They
must return to Japan. The regulation
on this point is very strict. The re-
suit Is that families are often sepa-
rated here, naturally causing consider
able hardship to those whom the order
affects. Sometimes a wife is sent back

on leaving Japan for Hawaii often go
to considerable expense, disposing of
their property in order to make the
trip. When a member of the family
is sent back to japan IT is to face
hardship.
The proposition now is to have the
law changed so that the examining
physicians here may diagnose the

FEDERAL
BUILDING

Owners OF property who are Willing
to have the same converted into a
Federal building site. for which there
is ~ congressional appropriation OF
si50,000. are preparing maps and data
concerning the same to be forwarded
to Washington.
Among the prospective sites Is the
Bishop Estate property on Bishop
street. opposite the Alexander Young
building. Then there Is the Mahuka
property facing on King street. oppo-
site Bishop street. This property also
faces on Merchant street, and for the
purposes of Federal Site the owners
propose to cut an extension of Bishop
street through the property. The old
Edinburgh" property on Queen street
back of Hackfelds old office building,
now used as supplementary ware
house, is proposed.
The Irwin property, the Opera House
premises and adjoining property on
King street, is another site offered.

Is also in the market.

streets, owned by several persons and
estates, is being worked into a site
proposition by Il. c. A. Peterson. He
is having a map prepared of the whole
block.
Il believe this property is ideal for
a Federal SITE" said Mr.. Peterson yes
terday. 1T is a natural division be-
tween the foreign and Asiatic sections
of the city, and therefore would be
admirably adapted to all uses to which
a Federal building would be put.
believe for the advantage of the whole
town no better site could be had, in
asmuch as there is a whole block with
streets, of course, on all four sides"
1t is said that the premises bounded
on three sides by Fort, Hotel and Union
streets, on which the principal struc-
ture is the Mott-Smith building at Fort,
and Hotel, will be submitted in the
competition for a Federal building site.
There is still standing in the rear of
the premises, on the Union street side,
a building long ago occupied by the
legislature and the executive depart
ments Of the monarchy. Latterly it has
been a workshop. A family of royal
blood also had it's home upon the same
premises
