Last week the citizens-of Honolulu took &C
ton in the matter of trying to do something to
mitigate the distress of the people, by volun-
tarily contributing their money to purchase a
quantity of tar to be burned, and accordingly
thirty-two barrels of that substance were pro-
cured, and burned at different points of the
city, under the direction and superintendent
of the officers of the Board of Health.


1t will be remembered that the GAZETTE on
behalf of the suffeaing people of this city, has
not been mealy-mouthed in speaking of the
sanitary condition of Honolulu, and in bring
ing to the attention of the Board of Health, the
great necessity of taking such steps as pru-
dence and due regard for the welfare of the
people demanded, under the trying circum-
stances surrounding them for the past few
months.


The action of the citizens who SO promptly
contributed their money with view to miti-
gate the severity of dire disease, that has
been decimating whole families for months
past, and bringing sorrow and bereavement to
SO many households; while tits praiseworthy
to those citizens, who seeing the necessity Of
prompt and decivive action, did not hesitate to
act in the emergency; is at the same time a
pointed rebHks to the officials who sullenly dis
regarded the ravages of malignant pestilence,
which can be traced to causes, which, if at
tended to in time, might have been confined
within narrow limits. But as it is never too
late to do good, we are pleased to know that
public attention has been attracted to a sub
ject in which all classes are alike interested.
We take no particular credit to ourselves for
endeavoring to arouse public attention to the
necessities of the hour, because, all that we
have written and published about the health
of the city, and the duty of the health authori-
ties, was from profound sense of pressing
duty to the suffering people, from which we
dare not shrink without holding ourselves ac-
countable morally, at least, for wanton dis
Year: 1879

regard Of our duty as public journalist. We
have spoken out boldly and freely, because we
found that nothing less would answer the pnr
pose of drawing attention to the real condition
of affairs and the necessity of making every
effort that human skill or ingenuity might
suggest, to ameliorate the ravages of pesti-
lence that is carrying off so many people, and
bringing sorrow and suffering to SO many hu-
man hearts.


We could not hesitate to speak out when we
were informed, that some of the high officials
had actually sent their families to other To-
calities to escape the dreaded disease, and
still no decisive action was taken to preserve
the health and lives of other families, who
were not in a condition to seek places of safety
outside the limits of Honolulu The health
and lives of the families of the poor are as
precious in the sight of fathers, as those who,
for the moment, may happen to be circum-
stanced SO as to incur the expense of sending
their wives and children to places of safety.
1t was under these circumstances, and with
the foregoing facts staring us in the face, that
we sounded the tocsin of alarm, and we repeat,
We rejoice that it has not been sounded in
vain.


We are pleased to record the fact, that the
health authorities are now engaged in cleans
ing the streets of the city, but they should not
forget that to do this properly much more is
required to be done than merely scavengering
the surface of the streets. They should go down
to the seat of the disease, which is the filthy
esplanade and the reeking cesspools, and make
radical changes there. We are hopeful that
this will now be done inasmuch as the public
have taken the matter in charge, and the
Board of Health has been compelled to act al

We learn with regret, that J. 0. Carter,
Esq, the able, efficient and gentlemanly Reg
istrar of Public Accounts in the Office OF His
Excellency, the Minister of Finance. has re-
signed in order to embark in another and new
line of business.


Mr. Carter took possession of his present
position in May 1874, as the successor of the
late G. A. Castle, deceased, Mr.. Carter was
thus deprived of that assistance which the ex
perience of his predecessor could have given
him as to the condition of the accounts, and
the routine business of the department, but
he was equal to the emergency he was
the right man for the place, and in short
space OF time was master of the situation
Nature, education, first class business talents
coupled with high order of intelligence and
the strictest integrity, but above and beyond
all, an address and bearing which stamps him
as a courteous, affable gentleman, were the
qualifications which Mr.. Carter brought with
him when he entered the Finance Department
of the Hawaiian Government in 1874, from
which he retires with honor, and the universal
respect of his fellow-citizens. When Mr.
Carter took charge he found the finances of
the Government at low ebb, but fortunately
he leaves the Treasery full to repletion. This
is the highest commendation which could be
accorded him, and fully demonstrates all we
have written as to his high qualifications as
faithful and upright public officer. We speak
of Mr.. Carter from our own knowledge, derived
from an almost daily intercourse of upwards
of two years, and not from hearsay testimony
of others. He has our best wishes for his fu-
ture prosperity in whatever position he may
fill.
