Election day, November 2.
If Hawaii ever becomes ono of the
United States a rather far fetched
stato It murt be what nn opportunity
will be offered In the various Islands
for tho lodging house system Just about
election time, and ns a subject for sar
castic remarks regarding the "foreign
element," "conglomerate population,"
etc. Oh my! oh my!
The Fifty-second Volunteers.
Wo hear a great many remarks of
condolence regal ding the passing of
"the old soldier of the Civil war" and
particularly on Memorial Day Is it
deemed tho proper thing to speak
tearfully of the falling step and
dimmed eye, the thinned ranks and
the swift disappearance of the veter
ans. In fact so much Is this view
dinned Into tho ears of tho p;oplo that
they seldum see the Grand Army but
ton without casting a glance at tho
wearer, full of pity because he must
so soon be expected to fall asleep be
,neath tho low green tent In the ceme
tery.
That this Idea Is somewhat universal
Is possibly due to the fact that the
veterans are seldom seen except on
that one solemn day In the year when
they scatter blossoms above the graves
of their comrades and when all loyal
hearts are touched with memories and
traditions of the past and sadness for
the days to come when the blue coat
and the bronze button will also be but
a tender memory.
Those who are usually thus Impress
ed should have seen the survivors of
the Fifty-second regiment of the Penn
sylvania Volunteers yesterday nt their
famous annual reunion when tho sad
thoughts would have given way to a
thrill of pride at the sudden realization
that the veterans are not all dead yet
by any means. Thre were gray heads
and there were some forms bent with
years of Infirmity and toll, but the
majority seemed vigorous, happy and
scarcely past tho prime of manhood
ns they marched cheerily down the
avenue. In their ranks were repre
sented men of affairs whose hands
are In no sense slipping their hold
on the mastery of their world and
i whose brains will be active for many
years to come in directing Important
lntei ests. May the veterans of the
Fifty-second regiment of Pennsylvania
Volunteers long be with us to arouse
our patriotism and stir our pride.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, who naturally
should know what he Is talking about,
declares It to be folly for the govern
ment to transport provisions over tho
vast snow heaps that cumber the sur
face of the Yukon In order to relieve
tho want of the throngs of half crazed
gold-seekers. The only thing to do Is
to get the people out of the desolate
region to a base of supplies.
How to Mollify Sullivan.
The Democratic leaders In Boston
are of the opinion that Mayor Joslah
Qulncy should make some effort to
hend the political breach between him
self and John L. Sullivan, who Is really
In earnest in his determination to run
for mayor. Just how an opposing can
didate Is to go to work to conciliate
a pugilist or even an ex-pugillst, the
Democratic leaders fall to explain, ex
cept In the way of vaguely remarking:
"Oh ask him to dinner or a meeting."
This Is the same old theory which wo
men learned ages ago laconically ex
pressed In the words "Feed the brute."
Rut Sullivan refuses to bo placated In
that manner and declares that he will
not cat Mayor Qulncy's salt. Neither
will he withdraw from the contest un
less Mayor Qulncy also withdraws. It
might be suggested that the mayor
baqk tho ex-ehamplon In another prize
fight, or go into training himself in
order to decide the matter in the
fashion most respected by Roston's pet.
' Qr he might take Mr. 'Sullivan out
on a fishing expedition with the usual
.".accompaniments, or ns a last resort
'he might retire from the field and
nllow his rival to find out how close
he can come to being mayor of the city
described as not a place but a state
of mind.
The number of times Andree's bal
loon Is being seen simultaneously in
places somo distance apart gives rise
to the fear that the resident of north
ern climes drinks something beside
Bncwvyater nnd whale oil.
The Loyalty of Velasquez.
That a man Is appointed to an offi
cial position, high or low, does not
guarantee a supply of common-sense,
Justice and propriety along with the
.appointment. Inspector General of Po.
,-llce Valasquez has confessed that he
ordered tho killing of Arroya, the
wquld-bo assasln of President Diaz,
of Mexico, who would, no dqubt, n due
.UtmjUiqvo received his Just deserts by
.mVans. of a Judicial Investigation. The
reason assigned by Velasquez for his"
remarkable part In the case Is that he
' greatly, admired President DIas and
felt that his assailant merited punish-
ment. The stntement seems more than
a little suspicious, as a high ofllclal
unless possessed of a very low degree
of npprrclntlon for tho responsibilities
of his position would scarcely tako
such a step merely out of Irrepressible
affection and loyalty for tho head of
his nation. It seems more likely to be
Just a plain every day caso of driving
a knlfo Into the heart of tho man
whom he wanted out of his way for
reasons of his own.
According to all accounts, General
Woodford and tho Duke, of Tetunn,
may have said any number of un
pleasant things to each other and may
have made nil sorts of demands and
promises, but ns each was speaking
In a different tonguo and did not know
what tho other was saying there Is no
certainty as to tho real result of tho
conference and Its effect on the war In
Cuba.
Yellow FJver Facts.
Anent tho yellow fever agitation,
which Is at present fanned by glaring
newspaper headlines, the Rochester
Post-Express has compiled nnd pub
lished some Interesting statistics. Yel
low fiier Is ono of the most dreaded of
tropical diseases. A peculiarity about
vdlow fever Is that It rarely develops
when thp mercury Is below 70 degrees,
and fiosty or freezing weather effect
ually terminates Its career. This, fact,
together with tho high state of effic
iency reached by the sanitary corps of
the I'plted States government and the
boards of health of the Southern cities
nnd the Southern states, makes an epi
demic this year nlmost Impossible. A
few new cases are reported each day,
but there Is nothing alarming in tho
spread of the disease, and probably
within a month It will have run it?
course.
There has rcnlly been no serious epi
demic of vellow fever In the past fif
teen ycais. The first appearance of the
diseuse mentioned by the historians of
America wns In 1G89, when It created
great ravages at Philadelphia. In 1702
there was another fearful outbreak In
tho same city; In 1791 the disease raged
most awfully In New York city. There
wns another epidemic In Philadelphia
In 1793, during which several thousand
persons were carried off. The dreaded
disease ravaged Norfolk and Ports
mouth, Va In 1S5.", Wilmington, N. C,
In 1SG2, nnd Savannah, Ga., In 1870.
Yellow fever has been epidemic nt New
Orleans many times. In 1S47, 2,330
deaths occurred; In 1S33, 7.84S; In 1833,
2,070; In 1838, 4.S13; in 1SG7-S more than
seven thousand people were carried
away. In 1S7S-9 there were nearly six
thousand deaths in Memphis. The
total number of cases In the United
States during 1S78 wns 63,970, with 14,
S09 deaths. This was the last great
epidemic.
Amonc; medical men there Is a dif
ference of opinion ns to whether the
disease Is directly transmitted from the
sick to the well. Some Intermediate
development of the Infectious agent In
the soil or air seems to be necessary
before It passes from one person to
another. The mortality varies with
the character of the epidemic, the class
of persons It attacks, from hygienic
surroundings, and the care with which
cases are tieated. It has sometimes
been as low as five per cent, and some
times as high ns seventy-five per cent.
While it Is a satisfaction that Rlake
and Hardy, two of the kidnappers of
the little Conway boy, have heen
promptly found guilty and benteneed,
It Is most unfortunate that as yet
Warner, the arch-crlmlnal of tho trio,
has not bton npprehanded. Tho pos
sibilities of having the wrong man
lynched and of never bring nble to
catch tho right one seems to Increase
Ui this world.
"But Living Greece No More."
The following opinion of the situa
tion In Greece Is found in the Roches
ter Heiald:
Though tho treaty of peace between
Turkey nnd Greece Is still to bo signed
the character and lctails of that Instru
ment have been fully determined upon by
tho powers. I'nder tho llnal agreement
Turkey takes possession of tho principal
strategic points along tho Thossalonlan
border, nnd Is therefore amply fortllleJ
against any future outbreaks of Greek pa
triotism. An Indemnity of $l.',,tXA),liOO Is to
be paid out of tho revenues of Gieecc, and
It will bo guaranteed by the powers. Tho
Turkish troops will be withdrawn from
Thessaiy within ono month after thd
signing of tho treaty. Not only will tho
powers administer tho revenues of Greece,
and guarantee the Turkish Indemnity, but
It Is also stipulated that Greece must pay
tho Interest on her old bonds, which wcro
practically repudiated by King George's
government. This last exaction was In
fcUted upon by Germany, and It Is re
garded as a shrewd move upon tho part of
Emperor William, as a largo portion of
the bonds aro hold by his subjects.
As tho result of the war, Gteeco must
sustain a -'rushing addition to her debt;
and her cup of national humiliation Is full
to ovvrtlowing. Far moro keenly than
the debt will tho feel her degradation to
tho position of ii ward of the European
powers. Sho has been solely punished for
her grievous blunder In rushing Into a
conflict for which sho was notoriously 111
prepared. And Turkey emerges from tho
difficulty, stionger, prouder and moro
Insolent than ever.
In review of the entire eastern policy,
Gladstone utters the following Impres
sive rebuke;
Tho pain, shame and mischief of tho last
two years In tho eastern policy transcend
entirely tho powers of any language I
could uso concerning them. Tho sum Is
this:
Firstly A hundred thousand Armenians
havo been slaughtered, with no security
against a repetition, and with greater
profit to tho assassins.
Secondly Turkey Is stronger than at
any tlmo since the Crimean war.
Thirdly Greeco Is weaker than at any
time since she became a kingdom.
Fourthly All this Is duo to the Euro
pean concert, that Is, the mutual haired
and distrust of tho powers.
m
A man who had a mule killed by a
trolley car In Merchantvllle has
taken a novel method of getting even
with the railway company by dally
driving a very slow team attached to
a load of hay In front of the cars nt a
narrow point In the road. It Is a turn
pike and he declares that as he pays
toll and keeps to tho right, as the law
directs, no one can Interfero with him,
and the constables who were asked to
remove tho obstacle hawa reluctantly
arrived at tho samo conclusion. He
values his slain mule at $141.50, and
hopes that he has already been about
$200 worth of annoyance to the com
pany. Major Uenjamln Hutterwoith, Com
missioner of Patents Insists, that ho
was not assaulted ot Atlantic City,
was not robbed of a roll of money,
did not display a roll of money,
did not have n roll of money, was not
locked up and fined $8.60 for being
drunk; had not been drinking and was
all the tlmo nt homo In the bosom of
his family, conducting himself with tho
dignity nnd decorum expected of n.
gentleman of his repututlon and posi
tion. Major Uutterworth asserts that
tho story Is only another vile Invention
of yellow Journalism and promises to
make It warm for somebody.
Dr. Powell, tho Los Angeles "bact
eriologist, announces himself as now
ready to receive nil germs of virulent
diseases Into his system to prove his
theory regarding their cause, preven
tion and cure. Ho particularly, longs
for u tussle with yellow fever bacilli,
but will welcome germs of dlpthcrln,
typhoid, tuberculosis, glanders nnd
other unplensant disorders. It might
bo a good plan to try him first with
the troublesome llttlo sllverlto mlcroho
that still seems to dlstiirbe tho few re
maining disciples of that cult.
'
Mr. Rudolph Hlnnkcnburg, while on
a political tour out In Kansas and Mis
souri, discovered that the excellent gas
which ho commended In Kansas City
was made by tho same Phlladelphlans
who manufactured the poor gas In the
Quaker City. Naturally, ho came homo
with a grievance and Is nlrlng It In the
gas discussion now occupying the undi
vided attention of nil good people In
Philadelphia.
The way of tho reformer Is hard. Mr.
Nathan Straus, tho philanthropist, who
attempted to furnish sterilized milk to
tho progressive residents of New York,
at a nominal price, has been arrested
because of the Inspectors' decision that
tho fluid sold on a certain roof garden
Is Impure. Now Mr. Straus is endeav
oring to find the man who put water
In that nice, healthy dead-mlcrohy
milk.
Out at Monongnhela n reward of $500
has been offered for a return of the
pieces of C. P. Rnnkln, who Is supposed
to have been blown up In nn explosion
of dynamite which he was carrying In
a buggy. Up to date tho remains
found have consisted of a hat and a
shirt wristband, not enough, however,
to wairant a Christian burial, which
Is the purpose avowed In offering the
reward.
President Ethan Allen, of tho Cuban
League, makes a very confident state
ment that the day of Cuba's victory
is at hand and speaks with a tone of
assurance regarding Preslent MoKln
ley's attitude toward the Insurgents.
He is right In tho declaration that
the delay In bringing a righteous cause
to triumph has been much too long.
The discharged farm hand who
placed parls green In tho cans of
milk to be served to several hundred
families Is a fiend of the first-order.
Ills revenge In poisoning many cows
belonging to Ms former employer was
malignant enough, but to thus plan a
wholesale destruction of innocent peo
ple Is a frightful example of depravity.

Chicago has not started up with the

Geology of the
Klondike Region
From Leslie's Weekly.
A recent explorer In a part of Alaska
ns far removed from tho newly discov
ered Klondlko region ns Washington Is
from Boston, has said: "That country
Is one-half made; the glaciers aro slowly
doing their work, tho mountains aro
smoking, and the rivers aro vomiting out
quantities of quicksand." What Is truo
of tho Cook's Inlet country of Southern
Alaska Is also true. In n measure, of tho
valley of tho Yukon. Thero are, how
ever, somo differences. In tho region of
tho gold fields thero nre no glaciers. Ac
tlvo volcanoes, too, ure so far away that
It Is only by tho occasional reports of
Indians or prospectors who havo mado
a longer trip than usual that their ex
istence is known. And yet ono can see,
through all tho valley of that great
river of the North, abundant evidences
of tho unformed character of tho coun
try. o
Tho ono thing which strikes tho trav
eler, bo ho layman or geologist. Is tho
Immenso nmount of work which tho
Btreams nro performing. Tho Lewes
river, down which ho takes his way to
tho diggings, rises, ns Is known. In a
series of lakes, tho largest of which Is
over thirty miles long. Tho country In
tho upper lake region is mountnlnous,
with torrents plunging down through
rough valleys from tho eternal snow.
Tho contrabt between this water of tho
lakes, which Is clear, and that of tho
stream emerging from them Is remark
able. Tho latter soon becomes turbid,
being full of sediment, so that ono can
not seo moro than a quarter of nn Inch
below tho surface. A na&lnful taken out
and allowed to stand clears itself In
time, nnd a thick deposit of mud Is
found In tho bottom of tho receptacle.
o
Tho current boils nnd flows very rap
Idly, and ns tho boat floats along a
sound Is heard Uko that of frying fat.
Upon searching for tho causa of this
sound It Is found to lie In tho grating
against tho bottom of tho boat of tho
very flno particles of sand carried In
suspension. From tho moment of enter
ing tho Lewes river nntjl this end of
tho trip this Bound Is never absent. A
truly enormous amount of materlnl Is
thus borno nlong by tho Yukon and
Anally emptied Into the Immenso delta
at Its mouth In Norton's sound.
A LAWVEK'S INDISCRETION.
From tho Pittsburg Times.
It was necessary for tho court at
Wllkes-Darre yesterday to rebuke John
M. Garman, chairman of tho Democratic
stnto committee, for tho uso of Incendiary
language as ono of tho counsel for tho
prosecution agnlnst tho deputy sheriffs
who were engaged In tho recent affair nt
Lattlmer. Ono would havo thought that
ho might have restrained his dcmagoglo
proclivities In tho presence ot tho court,
but It seems that ho felt that he was
bound, even In Ida professional capacity,
to volco tho anarchistic tendencies of his
party by expressing his hatred nnd en
mity to everything and everybody con
cerned In tho promotion of order nnd
the suppression of riot. Ordinarily neith
er his position us a citizen nor as a law
yer would entltlo anything that he said
to attention. It would merely bo passed
by ns tho utterance ot an Irresponsible
blatherskite, but coming from ono who
occupies tho position of the lender of a
political party It would appear as an an
nouncement that the principal object of
that party was to Inclto riot and disor

THE NATIVE INDIAN TROOPS.
From tho Chicago Inter Ocean.
Tho Sikhs aro carrying off tho honors
In the hazardous campaign on the Af
ghan frontier, and It Is significant that
the Rrlllsh officers and tho Rrltlsh gov
ernment aro giving them duo credit.
Their exploits certnlnly nro of a kind to
call out tho compliments of superior of
ficers, but beyond this there Is a policy
In making much of the bravery of tho
nnttvo troops. Theso splendid fighters
hnvo always been loyal to the llrltlsh.
If other native regiments see that the
lighting qualities of tho Sikhs nro ap
preciated and rewarded tho effect on the.
wholo native contingent of tho army will
bo good. Ry this policy Great Rrltaln Is
not only cultivating a flno spirit among
tho native troops of India, but Is con
solidating a warllko peopio ns a bul
wark against possible, disloyalty and re
bellious spirit of other tribes or classes
or clans.
DUCISIVn STEP DUE.
From tho Pittsburg Times.
Tho stock market yesterday respond
ed to sensational rumors regarding our
relations with Spain over tho condition
of affairs In Cuba. This docs not cut
much of a figure, since thcro had been
such n steady advnnco of speculative
values In Wnll street for somo tlmo
that a reaction wns due at any rate,
nnd tho slump would hnvo comet from
somo other cause even had thero been
no war In Cuba. Rut nslrte from this
thero appears to be n gencrnl expecta
tion Hint somo decisive step Is soon
to bo taken. Tho policy of the present
administration appears to bo In accord
with tho last cue, but, conservative ns
that was, It will bo remembered that
President Cleveland In his last message
expressed tho opinion that tho tlmo
would como when, If the Insurrection
was not suppressed, the pattenco of
this country would bo cxhnusted, and
when wo would bo compelled to Inter
fere In a strugglo that threatened to
annlhllnto tho thing struggled for.
In tho opinion of 'many people that
tlmo nrrlved long ago, nnd Interference
has nlrcndy been too long delayed, But
their Ideas have not governed either tho
last administration or this one. It is
evident, however, that President McKln
ley nnd his cabinet nro fully allvo to
tho Interest which this country has In
tho strugglo and to tho public sentiment
with regard to It. They have been
thoroughly Informing themselves, and
hnvo been considering the question In all
of Its aspects. It Is plain that If nny
movement Is contemplated nt nil thcro Is
no reason for nny further delay. That
something will bo done Is Indicated by
many circumstances, among which aro
tho quiet but not entirely concealed
movements to prepare for nn armed col
lision. While many of tho present rumors
aro mere frothy sensations, It is evident
that tho position of tho United States Is
soon to bo announced, nnd that in a
short tlmo wo will become tho most Im
portant factor In bringing to n closo tho
disastrous and cruel war to the south of
us. How deeply wo mny become Involv
ed will depend upon tho temper of Spain.
CHENANGO FORKS VINDICATED
From the Btnghamton Leader.
Somo local news fakir has sent out
nn article to the effect that n tramp en
tered tho house of a rich widow at Che
nango Forks to ask for something to eat.
Sho was frightened nnd called for help,
whereupon a largo black snako camo to
her rescuo and colled Itself around tho
tramp who In turn shrieked and fled
with tho snake clinging to his body.
Half an hour later tho snako camo home.
It was a pet of the widow and proved lt
Bolf a truo friend In need. Tho article
might bo truo were It not that there Is
neither a rich widow, snako or tramp in
Chenango Forks.
'
J1US1NESS ACTIVITY.
From tho Chicago Evening Post.
Ono of tho most satlsfactorv features
of tho returning prosperity Is tho univer
sality of its charcter. It is not confined
to nny ono section of country or to nny
particular lines of Industry. All places
and all enterprises are sharing to tho
full In Its benefits and Its blessings.
Thero havo been times In tho history of
tho country when manufacturers pros
pered and agriculturists languished, but
now manufacturer, merchant, mechnnlc,
and agriculturist nre all rejoicing togeth
er over tho renewed activity along all
lines of Industry nnd effort.
THE AR.UOIt PLATE PLANT.
From the New Orleans Star.
Rlrmlngham offers greater advantages
by reason of tho low cost nt which steel
can be manufactured there, and tho
chances nro that city will get tho plant,
If tho government decides to locate In tho
South. It is to tho interest of tho people
of New Orleans to pull for Birmingham,
not only because a number of our citizens
aro interested in manufacturing enter
prises and mines there, but for the addi
tional reason that It tho government
builds nn nrmor plant there. It will result
In a dry dock und navy yard being estab
lished at this port.
THE CA.IIIIIUA KLONDIKE.
Saxton Herald.
Wo havo been solicited many times to
glvo somo Information about tho "gold
mlno" on Tussey mountain, near this
place, of which so much has been pub
lished In foreign papers. To tell tho ex
act truth, wo do not know much about It.
Thero Is a mine there; It Is being worked
on a very small scale; lots of rock has
been taken out, but how much of It Is
gold wo do not know. Wo hopo "thero
aro millions In It," but Saxton capitalists
do not seem to be tumbling over each
other in a scramble for stock.
POLITICS CUTS NO fCE.
From tho Troy Record.
President McKlnley Is wlso In request
ing Consul General Leo to remain In
chnrgo of American affairs In Havana.
General Lee Is a Democrat, but politics
has nothing to do with tho conduct of
that important post at this critical time,
nnd he knows tho situation so thorough
ly that American Interests would suffer
by his Immedlato withdrawal. Ho
should remain at his post until tho
Cuban crisis has passed.
AN OVERCOAT IN PAWN?
From tho Philadelphia Press
While tho hues of tho autumn leaves
aro beautiful In their gorgeous harmony
thero Is always something suggestive of
melancholy in tho process of transfor.
motion. Many persons enjoy tho winter
when It has come, with Its gayctles in
doors and out, but they regard Its ap
proach with moro or less dread, and tho
changing of tho leaves Is a constant re
minder of tho approach.

From tho Waynesburg Messenger.
Wo now have a chanco of getting a

railroad, what section on tho faco of tho
