The Santa Cruz (Cal.) Sunday Sen
tinel, strong Republican paper, has
the following editorial in regard to
Gov. dwellings circular. The scales
have evidently fallen from the eyes OF
the editor Of the Sentinel and he is
honest enough to see things in their
proper light and tell the truth about
them.
After the announcement that Gov
ernOr Lewelling, OF Kansas, has Or
dered the police in the principal cities
to suspend the enforcement Of the
laws and ordinances against tramps
and Migrants, there is nothing intrin.
sically Incredible in another item OF
news which tells us that "a paper
published by the cOnyicts of the Kan
saS State Penitentiary has become
the most violent POpulist organ in the
State" We were at first impelled by
these curious facts to make rather
severe remarks about the Governor OF
Kansas. But after a little reflection
a change came DER the spirit of our
dream, and we concluded to forego
the structures until more fully inform
ed on the subject. Charity dictates
the presumption that Governor Lew
elling's order was not based upon a
desire to shield offenders against the
law, but prevent the punishment of
the innocent with the guilty. He was
doubtless moved to make the order by
the fact that the recent business re-
verses have thrown multitudes of hon.
est, industrious men out OF work, and
compelled them to temporarily as
sumo manner Of life which can not,
upon superficial observation, be dis.
tinguished from that Of incorrigible
tramps and vagabOnds. Doubtless the
State OF Kansas, like most OF the
other States, has failed to make pro-
vision for the temporary relief of those
who have nothing to eat but are will
ing to work. The law does not dis
tinguish between these men and
lazy yagabOnds, and 1t would be cruel
to enforce against them the penalties
designed for the last named class.
| This leads US to make few remarks
upon what seems 10 us q gross neglect
OF a plain duty by society. We refer
to the failure to make provision where
by any man In need of a meal Of vict-
uals can obtain it In any community
where he may happen to be stranded

be time for Gov. Lewelling to issue a
proclamation including fOOtpads as
well as trampS from mOleStatiOn by

This is a sample of the silly rot
that fills the columns of the Republi-
can papers. Gov. Lewellng does not,
has not and will not shield or defend
any criminal. His so-called tramp
circular does not ask that professional
tramps and criminals be dealt with
leniently. 1t refers to those who are
seeking honest employment and have
committed no OffenSe. 1t seems to
be habit of Republicans to oppose
and belittle everything not emanat.

The editor of the Caldwell NelCS is
weak-min6ed enough to declare that
the assertion of the Topeka Capital
that real estate iii Kansas was worth
% per cent more just after the re-
cent election than before is true, and
continues there is no reason why
Kansas real estate shouldn't be
worth double what it is today, save
and except tor the damage done to
the credit of the state by the social
istic ideas and doctrines of the Popu-
list party" The NetDS man would
probably never have made such an
assertion had he not seen the same
dying rot in such papers as the Capt.
tai. There is not particle of truth,
evidence or reason for such an asser-
tiOn. Even the Capital itself has ad-
mitted and published editorially the
TACT that times have been getting
worse for over four years, so it Is per.
~ silly to make such assertions

tate to say that it is the most press
ing duty Of thoughtful men today to
take charge of the problem. There

There had been time, Mr.. ingalls,
continued, when there were no mil
liOnaires or tramps, anarchists OF
POpulists in the country. Perhaps
they would disappear as they had
cOme-he hoped sO-but it would not
be until the conditions were removed
which had made their existence pos
sible.

Ingalls, has cited the terrible cOndi

The Strongest Defence

Against ill-health. debility and nervousness
is to promote digestion. activity of the liver
and regularity of the bowels with the in
comparable Alternative and tonic, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, medicine without q
drawback, safe and thorough, and having
the highest professional sanction. 1t pro-
NOTES an adequate secretion of the gastric
juices that act as solvents of the food, and
insures its conversion into rich, nourish-
ing blood, which never fails to honor the
drafts for strength made upon it by the
rest of the system. As a laxative of the bow
els it is natural and gentle in operation
but at the same time effective. By directing
the bile into its proper channel it removes
the many and harassing symptoms of liver
complaint. Heartburn, nausea, sick head
aches, nervousness, rheumatism, malaria and
kidney trouble are remedied by it.

Popularity of the Banana.

A curious instance of the cultiva-
tion of taste is found in the progress
of the banana trade. A few years
ago the fruit had little sale, it was
hardly ever found at select tables,
and was regarded generally as an in
sipid edible. fit, perhaps for half
naked blacks, but unworthy the pal
ate of civilized races Now the ba-
mana is one Of the most popular fruits
of the day, is found everywhere, and
is voted a delicious morsel. In the
hot States of America it is regared
as palliative, if not an absolute
preventive OF fevers, but in this
country its only claim to favor is that
it gives pleasant and cheap addition
to our own orchard dainties. 1t is
calculated that in the United States
last year the quantity of bananas
consumed reached the enormous total
of !, 285, 100000. The British taste
for them is not yet so pronounced,
but it is rapidly growing, and one
firm in Covent Garden often distrib-
utes 10, 900 punches per week. The
trade may be regarded as in it's in
fancy as yet, but it gives promise of
vigorous increase, and proves that
the best of everything in the world
gradually gravitates towards London.

questioned as to how this state of
things came about 1t was found
that they frequented the same bar
berS's shop and that this wonderful
fall Of hair was due to their hair hav-
ing been dressed by a barber who did
not keep his scissors and brushes suf-
t1cientlY clean. By the orders OF the
Project of the Seine DR.. Lancereaux
made complete study of the sub
ject. and has just presented report
to the Department Council of Hy-

tagiouS affections of the scalp are
