Puget Sound Fruit.
Fairhaven Herald.


Our orchards are pretty well divested OF their
fruit, ana to one who Is not familiar with the
sights and abundant yields OF the Nooksaek
valley the appearance OF some OF the varieties
of apples would be more than their own sight
could believe. Mr. smith has gathered during
the past week, from an old orchard, immense
fruit that would be worthy of a place at the
Worlds fair. The Golden Russell, measuring
eleven inches in circumference; the Northern
Spy, twelve inches: the Dutch Magnoae, thir-
teen inches, from trees whose limbs bend TO the
ground. the two last named varieties OF q beau
tiful red color. We believe this valley ia TO be
the greatest frui. growing section on Puget
sound, as there has long been proof OF the sizs
and quality Of all varieties Of fruit One of our
neighbors, who crossed the continent in the
early iali, said that he did not see busheI Of
apples on the trees the whole way through, and
friends from our old state, Illinois. claim no
fruit for the winters store. Deprive Puget
saunders OF their fruit and clans and life would
not be worth living

individual proves; 1t requires scientific
maneuvering and tactical skill.
Scientific football turns on the ability to
nave at critical point q stronger force
tnan the enemy; the capacity to scatter
for skirmishing, and to concentrate rap
idly for assault. ITO get there first with
the most men" was the Confederate Gen.
Forests definition of the art of war, and
this is the sum and substance Of scientific
football. Football as played thirty years
ago in American colleges was very
rough, brutal sport, involving little skill
or tactics. but modern football is based on
the elaborate English game of football as
played in the great English public schools,
Harrow and Rugby, and described so ad-
mirably n Hughes tom Browns School
Days" OF course the present exagger-
ated importance of football will fade away
when fashionable society ceases to make
fad" of it, as it will sooner
or later, but it is likely to keep
its hold for long time on popular favor,
because it ministers to that love of hand
to hand struggle between strong, agile and
love Of animal excitement.
woman loves to witness horse race;
she might strongly desire to witness
prizefight, but she could not do 80 with
out unsexing herself, but a woman can
witness football match without scandal,
and get all the entertainment out of it that
humane person could find in q prize
fight. for barring the brutal coincidents of
knocking out man, ring contest limited
to display of skill, scientific pugilism,
strength and endurance would be interest
ing to humane man. 1t is the brutal,
bloody-minded effort to pound a man into
helpiessness and surrender that is felt to
be repulsive. The football contest is a
terrific fight that involves science, skill,
endurance. agility, strength and general
ship, and yet does not as a rule involve
any low. coarse. wanton brutality. The
tremendous animal excitement of foot
bali and the numbers employed make 1t =
most dramatic and picturesqe contest
without the gross brutality that attends
prizefght.
Appealing as it does to vast number of
people of both sexes, all classes and con-
ditions Of life and being decent
as we'll as a most e1hiiarating spec
tacle, we predict for football
long popularity with the American
people after fashionable society has
dropped it for new fad" for it is mimic
war; with battle tactics and strategy, but
without brutality or blood. A Spanish
woman loves to witness a bullight, not
because she desires to see the bull tortured,
but because she loves the animal excite
ment of the struggle between man and
beast. The American woman in football
can witness a sight that will give her all
the JOY of the conflict found in builfight
without any of its coincident brutality;
it is entertainment for man, while bull
fight is a spectacle of peril to the bull
fighter and cruelty to the beast.

IMPROVE THE SCHOOLS.

Among the most important things for
the upbuilding of Roanoke is good
public school system. Educational ad-
vantages cannot be overestimated, and
they give any city standing which can
be acquired in no manner so perma-
nently. While Roanoke is acknowl-
edged to be the most progressive city in
tho State, If not in the South, in bust
ness point of view, it is far from such
from an educational standpoint We
hope this will not continue so. There
is no reason why it should be, except
that the City Council appears to be less
alert to the necessities in this than in
other matters.
1t is to be hoped that no effort will be
spared this year to render our public
schools as good as any, If not the best,
in the State. The school board is alert
to the needs of the school, and appears
to be doing all in it's power for their ad-
vancement. Now, il the Council will
only chow e similar interest and second
fully the suggestions OF the board schools
will be all that can be hoped for or de-
sired. We cannot afford to be excelled
in anything, and especially in such an
important matter.

THE CHOLERA.

The cholera has not yet landed in
America ard if tho vigilance Of the past
ten days can be maintained it may be
kept out indefinitely. The great danger
lies in the relaxation of effort from fam
cied security Though reports are out
of conflict of authority at New York be-
tween the health officer and the customs
officials, it is not OF a nature to weaken
the efficiency of the quarantine, but
rather to strengthen it.
Abrt ad the cholera has been closely
oircumscribed in England. At the in
fected German ports the disease ex
hausts it's strength in the slums and up-
sanitary quarters, while the better por-
tions of the cities are practically ex-
empt. No moro striking proof is needed
OF the kinship between filth and the
cholera.
Perhaps the most striking develop
ment of the treatment Of cholera is the
seeming authenticated fact that warm
salt water taken internally, with cloths
wrung out in the same simple article,
will cure nino out of ten cases. If this
be so another instance will go on record
in which an old woman's remedy out
cl asses the treatment of doctors learned
and profound.

upon the plan Of the present way.
Why cannot approved business moth
DDS be applied in q systematic manner

place, then carried on consecutively,
finishing up all work thoroughly and
speedily and giving the public use OF the

The Danger From Oh olera.

From the New York Prees
The press is fulfilling its highest func-
ton when it utters timely warning
against impending calamity to the pub
lie. The great danger menacing TIE
nation to-day is from the plague of
cholera in Europe. and newspaper
would be recreant indeed that should
fail to keep its readers as fully informed
as possible of where the danger is most
threatening. and how it can best be re-
pelled or avertod. The European nation
which has suffered most from the cholera
pestilence Is nation in which free
press Is unknown and where an official
censor sternly rebuked and repressed
any attempt on the part of the press to
tell the truth abou, the monster that
was approaching from Asia.
American newspapers worthy of the
name have been earnest and vigilant in
watching tho progress of cholera
abroad, and urging the necessary meas
ures to prevent, If possible, its arrival
here; and for the energy and activity
displayed by public officials in guarding
against the terrible infection the news
papers deserve no little credit.
In face OF such conditions too much
vigilance cannot be shown or too much
stringency exhibited on this side of the
Atlantic. This is the Mecca of the chol-
era bearing emigration from Eastern
Europe, that emigration which carried
the disease at q bound across Germany
to Hamburg.

Let lie be on Guard

From the Norfolk Landmark.
Now and from this on until danger ia
past the community must rely upon the
efficiency OF It's quarantine and sanitary
service for safety. Every public officer,
from the mayor down through the list,
will doubtless feel the responsibility
resting upon him, and will strain every
nerve to meet it. Shipping masters
should be under the strictest superyis.
ion OF the authorities and be REQUIRED to
pursue their business with due regard
to the protection of public health. Epi-
domic diseases come in always, when
they come, through the indiffence or
criminal neglect of those who, by the
plain rules of right and ordinary pru.
dience' should not subject the city to
danger. We have the necessary law:
let 1t be enforced. The United States
authorities are ridiculing tho State and
local quarantine laws as relics of State
rights and inefficient. We shall SEQ how
far this criticism is borne out.

wANTED-A SYSTEM.

"How long, o Lord, how longr" was

long suffering and afflicted of that day,
and might be reasonably expected from
the citizens Of Roanoke when they look
about the streets and see deep holes dug
on all sides and piles OF sand and build.

for something to occur and totally block.
ing up the thoroughfares, which are al
ready taxed to the utmost capacity to
accommodate the business OF the city.
1t Is freely admitted that public i'm.
provements are both necessary and de.
sirable and that in their construction It
is necessary to interrupt traffic and the
thoroughfares to some extent, but there
is no earthly sense or reason in begin
ming about in spots all over the city so
as to destroy the use OF so many streets
and then keep them in that condition
for weeks and months. This is not
necessary; 1t is not business-like; It
ought not to be inflicted upon long
suffering and patient public. Further
more, it is dangerous as we'll as damag-
ing.
Why should not the public work be
done with some method and system?
Would any individual manage his bust
ness In this manner Is there any
sense in putting down a pavement and
then tearing 1T up to put down sewer,
then tearing up the sewer to put in a
conducting pipe; then tearing all up to
put 1t down in different manner or
schange grade? No one will contend

THE political OUTDOOR.


Politics has hardly warmed in the
collar as yet. But within ten days the
boom will be fairly on and then no peace
until after the election. The cholera
scare and the Sullivan. Corbett fight
will be good for the next four days, but
after that the deluge. The orators will
turn loose, the mails will be flooded
with documents, and the country will
be lost and saved a dozen times.
Tho present status of affairs is as fol-
flows: The South is getting into line for
Democracy, Virginia is reasonably near
the safety line, the Third party dwind-
ling to much smaller proportions than
even its opponents conceded. North Car
DINA shows the same phase, South Car
DINA is for Tillman, but it is also for
Cleveland. In fact, West Virginia is
the only Southern State that's seriously
in doubt, and as 1t has been for three
more alarm than in the past Our Topped
off daughter has trick of Showing up
on the right side.
The Republican party is in bad shape
in the West, and will have to hustle as
never before to save Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and South
Dakota, to say nothing of the silver
States. In the East New Hampshire
and Massachusetts arei in doubt. Massa
chusetts has abolished the poll tax pro-
requisite for voting. which will add
some 10000 hitherto DISTINGUISHED
voters to the lists, a large majority of
whom will be found to be Democrats.
On the other hand the reticence Of
Hill and the evident disposition of sew
eral of his henchmen to embarrass the
Democratic campaign makes the outlook
in New York gloomy for the moment
The able managers of the campaign
claim, however, that these unfriendly
efforts will be rendered futile, and that
it is fortunate that they have been
unmasked at this early date.
In paragraph, the Democracy will be
certain to win with New York and will
have fighting chance without that
tremendous factor.
