KEEP CHOLERA OUT.
'tEverytime a grave digger tosses up q
shovelful of earth In II cemetery of long

hnitesimal enemies of mankind, and this
helps on the business of the undertaken.
The escaping gases of decOm position also
carry up with them these germs into the
open air, when the bodies are not far
from The surface. Consequently ] would
advise all parents to keep their children
out Of the cemeteries. LIZ you feel COM
PEELED to go there yourself. go only when

CREMATION COMING.
1.-THE time will come. however, when
such precautions need not be given, for
cremation Is destined to supersede The
present pernicious practice OF bnrying the
body. Disease germs are absolutely de-
stroyed by fire, and heuce the only safe
way to dispose of the dead, whose bodies
are impregnated with contagioa, Is TO
ema them. Sucn cremation should
be compulsory, whatever the sentiments
of relatives and friends. for public health
Is weightier than private oDlnion. For
the same reason that we burn the bed
ding Of a cholera patient, we should
crenrate his body when life is ex-
Jinci. and ii cholera visits US
this summer 1t will teach us the
lesson, for the protection of the people
will deman 1t. Ii we quarantine the
contagious living, science Will also teach
ustto consume The infectious dead. for
disease germs do not die when a patient
expires, That is a Naturalization born Of
ignorance.
KIND TO THE DEAD.
"But apart from this medical aspect OF
the case cremation is a kindly act and
honors our departed dead, by whatever
disease they are carried off. Without
cremation the body soon becomes loath-
some. and / utterly fail TO see how true
love can permit a dear one to be con-
verified into Il mass of corruption, when
the process of incarceration can reduce
it in a few minutes into an urnfnil of
pure, white ashes. Many of my relatives
have been cremated. and certain | am
that worms shall not have the pleasure OF
running riot in my body. | have wit
messed cremation several times, and come
to the conclusion to return TO dust by
this our u fascinating process. There
is nothing so clean as fire. and the heat of
the rosy furnace is SO intense that
the body is quickly consumed and re-
duced to ashes. Cremation, | am glad TO
say, is becoming more popular every year.
and / am confident that eventually. it will
be universally adopted throughout the
civilized world. When a few more dis
tingulsned individuals like Emma All
bolt and CORTLAND Palmer are cremated,
the new method will become fashionable
and the cremaJories will not be able TO
accommodate the applicants. Hhe on Q
III Brooklyn is very busy now. or cours e,
cremation will not do ava with GEM G.
teries. These will ever be the abode of
our beloved dead, but under the new sys-
tenn they will cease TO be deadly"

MAYOR FAGAN'S economy has de-
generated. at least in one particul ar,
into a very one-horse business. As a
result the police and ambulance ser
vice are likely to be crippled, like
their lonely steed. To keep them in
motion it has been necessary to hire a
horse from q livery stable. Now
hired horses come high. For ambu-
lance or police service we should
think a dollar an hour would be
asked for them to answer calls, and
perhaps six or seven dollars a day, if
they were hired that way. Anyone
san figure out for himself how the
city would come out on a few days
sickness of its solitary animal. He
has a sprained leg now. He certainly
will not be able to get around for a
week. 1t may take him six weeks to
get repaired. The hire of a horse to
take his place, even for a week, would
be q good fraction of the price of a re-
lay animal.

The foul crime which located the
Columbus Fair in Chicago is rapidly
working out it's own punishment.
The financial failure of the concern
appears to be certain beyond redemp-
ton. The prospect of disaster is
bringing out more clearly the mon
strosity- of locating the Fair in the
city of wind and cheek, by bringing
into grotesque prominence the very
little that Chicago and her people
have done for it.
The Inter Ocean, whose evidence is
certainly trustworthy on the point, is
authority for the statement that
while the Fair has cost 1913, 900 900,
Chicago has only really invested a
little over $40, 900, 900. Her citizens
paid something over SIS, 900, 900 for
stock and the city gave S., 600, 600 more.
Aud in addition to that the directors
borrowed So, OO0, 900 more, pledging
therefor, the net of the
Fair as security. How much the APP
preparation OF SO, 800, 900 aided them
in floating this loan is not stated.
In other words, having stolen the
Fair from New York, and made all
sorts of wild promises, Chicago has
raised much less than one-third of the
money necessary to float it. But if
the Fair cost S33, 900, 900, what possible
hope is there of Chicago raising even
half that sum during the period for
which it will be open. 1t would take
s~ixty-six million admissions to pay
that sum, exclusive of running ex-
penses, and while the Fair has other
sources of income besides admission,
they will not suffice to pay the weekly
bills.
Sixty-six million admissions in six
months would be about eleven mill
ions a month or nearly three mill
ions a week. or something like 400, 900
a day, counting Sunday openings.
The Fair has started off with an ave-
rage of about 8 1000 a day for six
days a week. In the outing season, it
will probably run up to 100, 900 a day
for perhaps four months. Perhaps
for a week altogether it will equal or
surpass the average needed to square
things.
Probably the dead loss on the Fair
will be about twenty million dollars.
So much for Chicago.

CAPTAIN JACK GRAHAM is by nat

A PRoTEcToRATE

Is what the British Government Would
Like, in tho Case of Hawail-England
and Germany Likely to Kick.
LONDON, Feb. A correspondent
has had an interview with Baron Henry
DcWorms, conservative member Of par
lament and parliamentary under secre-
tary Of the colonial office in the late ad-
ministration of Lord Salisbury. Baron
DeWorms is regarded as being thor
oughly in the confidence Of the conser-
vative leaders, especially as to their for
eign policy, subject with which he is
widely conversant
In reply to inquiries Baron DeWorms
said that he had long expected the
troubles which had broken out in Hon
olulu. He did not approve Of the pro-
posed annexation Of Hawaii by the
United States America, said Baron
DeWorms, had no right TO annex place
thousands of miles distant from their
own territory.
He considered that the proper remedy
for the Hawaiian difficulties would be
a joint protectorate similar 10 the pro
tectorate of Samoa. The British and
German population in Hawaii dwarfed
the American and hence they would not
allow the scream of the American eagle
to silence their claims England should
oppose annexation and Germany would
be sure to speak.

TERMS.
WANTS TO BE ANNEXED.

January 10 the queen OF Hawaii made
an effort to have the members Of her cabi-
net sign new constitution, one
that would dlsfranchise all foreign
ers, but they refused. A native orator
then demanded the lives of the ministers.
A committee Of public safety was formed
and on January 10 meeting was held to
dethrone the queen and try and perfect
plans for annexation to the United States
In the meantime the queen had announc-
ed the failure of her plans, and was then
willing 10 release her power and submit
to the will of the majority. Mott Smith
then minister IN Washington, d. c., was
advised of the matter, when he immedi'
ately notified Secretary of State Foster
If a committee from the island desires an
audience with Secretary Foster 1t would
be proper TO give them one, but we cannot
see any reason for annexation. We have
all the territory that we can do justice to,
and more; hence the improperly of TAX
ing more upon our hands.
