II is difficult to believe that legislative
body composed OF men who are presumably
sane would deliberately refuse to take action
necessary to the public health. and vet that is
what the Pennsylvania legislature did yester-
day when it disapproved a bill which if enacted
into law would have prevented the pollution of
streams from which any city in the state
obtained its water supply. At all seasons the
public is entitled to pure water, but just
now there is especial reason why sewage
should be diverted from the fountains
whence humanity draws the only thirst
quenching liquid Cholera is once more active
in Europe and Asia, and although elaborate
preparations have been made to exclude it
from the United States the disease may make
is appearance at any time. should the con-
tegion reach any of the sewage-pollute1
streams a murderons epidemic would surely
follow. The Pennsylvania legislature may be
willing toassume the responsibility for its short
sighted action of yesterday, but there is
danger Of the burden becoming too heavy for
man to carry.

glass panels and all the necessary toilet &C
cessories. Beneath the expensive and speci-
ally selected carpet are layers Of felt and
aromatic ferns, and when the duchess tires Of
promenading on this velvety combination and
wants to read she may take her choice of the
latest books, magazines and newspapers. OF
prison fare her grace knows nothing. She eats
food provided by irst-class caterer, drinks
her own wines. and her table is set with her
own plate. Servants attend her whenever neces-
sary, and she takes such exercise as she desires
within the confines OF the prison walls. When
all the circumstances are taken into considera-
ton it would seem as though the duchess could
stand that sort of thing for six weeks without
being seriously inconvenienced.

A Poetic Nightmare.

N IOetfc N1CntmAre
Oh. had lived in the good old days.
When the Ichthyosaurus ramped around
When the Elasmosaur swan the bays
Aud the Sivatherium paved the ground;
Would 1 have spent nv precious time
At weaving golden thoughts in rhyme?
When the Tinocerss snooped about
And the Pterodsctyl tapped its wings
When the Brontops with the warty snout
Moseyed around for herbs and things;
Would / have bothered myself o'ermuch
About divine af1latus and such?
The Dinotherium fouriShed then
The PtervgOtus lashed the seas;
The Rhamphorynciius prospered when
The Scaphoguathus perched in trees;
And every creature, wild or tame,
Rejoiced in some rocco name.
Pause and ponder; who could write
y triolet or roundelay,
While a Megatherium yawped all night
And Hesperornis yawped all day;
"hile, now and again. the bray sonorous
Of Glyptodon Asper swelled the chorus.
# I'd been almost anything
But poet, might have got along:
Those extinct Monsters OF hoof and wing
We're not conducive to lyric song;
70 nature reserved this tender bard
For the kindlier Age of Pork and Lard.

Folks who read last evenings STAR know as
much about Yesterdays proceedings of the
Presbyterian General Assembly as did those
who squeezed themselves into the edifice where
the organization commenced the transaction Of
business. The great sermon and all its
concomitants were carefully reported and
presented In the most attractive shape,
but they were not permitted to
crowd out the news of the day. In fact there
was sufficient room provided to accommodate
some highly important and exclusiyely impaired
local information-such as the enlargement of
Rock Creek Park The speciality of the day
was, of course, news relating to the General
Assembly. and this will continue to receive due
prominence so long as the Assembly is in ses-
sion The STAR does not need to call atten-
ton to its regular habit of achieving superiority
IN all competition; moments comparison will
convince even the stranger who is within our
gates.

That the heretofore mysterious art of tele-

Baltimore American. On Wednesday after

terday morning the American printed that
same report (Which was obtained and written
in this city for The STAB as Especial dis
patch from Upper Marlboro. Telepathy like
this makes telegraphy mere foolishness, tele-
phony a cumbrous makeshift, and the telauto-
graph a back number. The phenomenon to
which attention is directed is worthy of investi-
CATION, and The STAR greets it as the first
known application of profound psychological
science to the transmission Of news

The gentleman who accompanies the infanta
Is most frequently referred to by the ambig-
nous designation ''Euialie's husband" He
seems to occupy position somewhat similar
to that Of Mr.. Lease-a position of undoubted
honor and distinction, but through circum-
stances over which he had no control less PROM
inent than his wife's position. Mr.. Ward Nc
Allister and the journalistic pages which serve
rs his vehicle of expression have neglected to
impress on the minds Of the public the factthat
1t would be a great deal more polite to call him
by his given name and not allow the impulse to
call HIM EulaIie' husband to become habit.

Prompted By a spirit not easily understood in
this progressive era the assessors who operate
in the town Of Lowell, Mass, propose TO tax
bicycles similar proposition is now being
discussed in the French capital and may there
become an accomplished fact, but il is sincerely
to be hoped that common sense will prevail in
New England There was a time when bicycles
were Injuries Possessed only BY the few, but
today those popular means of locomotion are
necessaries to tens of thousands. In this city
they used by people of all classes, at all
hours OF the day and night. Merchants and
clerks ride to and from their Offices on the
silent cycles, letter carriers use them in the de-
livery and collection Of mail policemen know
how to ride, and the sluggish messenger re-
proach is inspplicable. The great majority of
the riders are what may be termed poor in this
worlds goods, but they speedily discovered
that the bicycular method Of transportation was
much cheaper than street car fare, so they pur-
chased wheels, and, if time be really money.
save many dollars each year, to say nothing
Of the doctors bills that vanished with
the increase Of physical exercise. Arguing
against the narrow and inexcusable taxation
idea, an objector very properly says that il the
bicycle, which increases the amount Of work
may DC DOuys u III OD-
ject to be specially taxed, then every other ma
chine, device or tool which increases the amount
Of work that may be performed by muscular
effort is a fit subject for taxation II the OBJ
ject of the Lowell assessors is an increase of
revenue they will find in the property of the
rich much that is more properly taxable than
the bicycle, which. it may incidentally be re-
marked. is today sold for very much more than
its intrinsic value. Such portions Of this cOun-
try as enjoy the possession of good roads are
deeply indebted to the bicycle, for it was the
wheelmen who brought about the improve
ment and when smooth and solid highways are
the rule throughout tine United States the credit
will belong to those who ride swiftly and ST.
lently." They have been and are the most per-
sistent OF agitatOrs and should be treated with
all consideration. II Lowell needs money why
doesn't it tax some Of its big and highly pros
porous corporations?

Hawaiians In the Council.
EDITOR Bulletin

The p. G.. has been memorialized
by the Portuguese colony to allow
them to be represented in the gov
eminent, and the councils have
recognized the justice of the claim.
Why the Portuguese have been so
long and so far ignored, may be due
to the fact that they are quiet,
long-suffering people and not so
noisy and demonstrative as another
Acknowledgment a tenth of their
number-who have a monopoly of
fat billets.
1t is interesting to note the fact
that "Hawaiians also" will have seats
in the councils "as occasion Offers
whatever that may mean-after the
Portuguese are provided for. This
will be a God-send to the few
preachers who have had their church
pulpits closed to them by angry
parishioners for having taken the
advice of the Hydes and Bishops
who are at the head of the North
Pacific Institute, to sign away the
independence of their country.
1t will now be in order for the
annexation club to start soup
kitchen for these discarded Hyde
bound renegades to their race and
country, unless the councils can
provide seats and salaries for them
in their august assembly, or, better,
ship the lot to Washington with
Hastings and Oleson as representa-
tive" Hawaiians.
The worthy head of the illogical
factory from whence they get their
dogmas, can furnish them with chap
ter and verse as to how the Hawai-
ian nation is that lost tribe that
ought to be "tied up" in order that
capital might flow into the country,
so as to enable the thrifty wife of
the professor to realize handsomely
on the numerous native land mort
cages, ere they go hence and shake
the dust of kanakaland from their
pious feet.
But this by the way. The fact is
now patent to the world, and let the
ends Of the earth take cognizance
thereof, that the Lords anoint-
ed"-a bullock wagon full of them
have been stripped of their office,
and if this fact won't furnish the
Rev. Serene Bishop with some con-
vincing proof of the still heather
character of the Hawaiian, l must
confess am at loss to know what
can.
Yea, let not the kahuna anaana
curl the lip when he reads of the
magnanimity of the p. g., that in
the sweet mahope, "when occasion
OFFERS" "native Hawaiian" approx
ed by the Annexation Club will be
permitted to misrepresent him in
the Provisional Government of the

Those Old Stamps.

1 noticed in last evenings (26th)
BULLETIN an editorial reference to
the sale of some discarded issue of
Hawaiian postal stamps by our
model post Office, in which item the
officials admit that said stamps "can
not be used for postal purposes"
Therefore the public can see that
our model post Office is virtually in
the old stamp peddling business. l
wonder greatly who authorizes our

this. 1t strikes me they act illegally.
