MAX JUDD of St Louis has been ap- pointed to be consul general to Vienna and the news from the capital of Aus tria indicates that the people of Vienna are protesting against his reception be- cause he is 8 Jew. This objection is frivolous and could not be allowed to go unrebuked by this government. A con- sul is not diplomatic agent. His duty is to advance the commerce of the country which he represents, and the re- fusal to receive Mir Judd should be fol- lowed by the withdrawal of the Ameri- can minister to Vienna. This country should have no dealings with a govern ment which discriminates agalnst it's agent on account of his religion. But news comes from St Louis which in clines us to the opinion that after all Mir Judd is not fit to represent this country anywhere. When he heard of the opposition to him because he is a Jew, he hastens to send assurances that he is not Jew, but free thinker, and
 that he attends the synagogue only
 because the rabbi is favorite of his. II
 this be true it is quite as we'll that MI Judd should remain at home. The man
 who is willing to foreswear his religion
 for honors or offices, should not Ee
 allowed to represent this country in any capacity.

THE Russian authorities, as they have done, have been withholding information as to the ravages of the cholera in that country, and with the usual results. The plague has been spreading until it has invaded a large portion of the empire, and is rapidly approaching the western boarders, threatening adjacent countries in that direction. However inexcusable such neglect of duty may be, it only serves to emphasize the importance of more strict watchfulness on the part of our authorities. There is a large distance between the United States and Russia, where the cholera prevails so extensive. ly to-day, but it requires little time for the pestilence to overcome that distance and assert itself here unless such measures are resorted to as will keep il at @ respectful distance.

THE silver output of Colorado was increased last year by three million ounces, in spite of the low price of the metal, owing to the discovery of new mines in which large quantities of sill yer are produced at a very low cost. The most profitable of these mines are at Creede. Recent reports from the Creede district show that the shipments of ore from these mines are larger than ever. The value of the ore shipped from Creede in February is estimated to have been eight hundred and fifty thou sand dollars. If production shall con- tinue at this rate the output of this camp will be very much larger this year than it was in 1892. The low price of silver has no effect upon the production of the metal in mines where the cost ranges between fifteen and forty cents an ounce.

EASTER lilies are said to be receding in favor. The taste for floral decora. tion at Easter steadily grew for many years, and with it the price for lilies ad- vanced until five or six years ago stems of Easter lilies wholesaled at twenty five cents each, and retailed at two, three or four times as much. Easter lilies, however, are easy to grow, and as the number of florists in and about New York increased all began raising lilies. The result has been a constantly increasing supply at Easter, and for five years past falling off in prices, until now the wholesale rate is not more than three-fifths what it was al it's highest.

THE FLAG HAULED DOWN
Our Protectorate Comes to an
 End at Honolulu.
RuMoRs ABOUT JAPAN's ATTITUDE

On Envoy BlOunt's Order the Stars and
 Stripes Were Hauled Down by the NIarines-Hawaii's Emblem Run Up No Other Power to be Allowed to Inter- fere in the Provisional Government.
 SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.-Despatches from Honolulu, dated April :, have ar rived by the steamer Australia. They state that the U. s. revenue cutter Rush sailed from Honolulu April and ex- pected to reach San Diego to-day. Nc news, however, has as yet been heard of her. She carries despatches to the gov ernment from Envoy Blount The follow ing is the digest of the despatches: The American flag has been hauled down from the staff of the Government build ing, and in it's place floats the ensign of Hawaii.
 The United States marines have been withdrawn from Camp Boston to the cruiser from which they were sent and the provisional government Of Hawaii stands alone.
 This second act in the Island drama l came with hardly a warning on the morn ing of April 1. The day before Commis sioner Blount had conference with Presi dent Sanford B. Dole and told him that | at Il o'clock the next day the temporary | protectorate would be withdrawn Rumors of this determination were sooI l spread.
 | On the morning of the first severa thousand people were gathered about the Government building. It had been I'll ! mored also that as soon as the Stars anC | Stripes were lowered the colors of som, other power would be hoisted, while an ether popular theory, based on rumors ! was tn at the eX-Queen would at once de mand the restoration of her power, ant would back up the demand by arms
 The provisional leaders placed enough credence in this latter report to muste their forces to the number Of 400 and kep them under arms all night and the nex day.
 The volunteer forces turned out, ant drew up in front of the Government build ing while the cermony of hauling dowl the flag was in progress.
 l Lieut.. Draper, of the Marine Corps, at tached to the Boston, had to perform tn unpleasant duty of lowering his country flag. At one minute past II the halyard moved slowly and the red, white and blu ! went down.
 Instantly the Hawaiian colors f1uttere to the top. There was hardly murmu from the crowd Silence prevailed aa tn American flag disappeared, and there wa no cheers for Hawaii's restored colors.
 Two days after this ceremony MT. Blour had another conference with the provisions leaders. and assured them that no foreig | powers would be allowed to take hand i Hawaiian affairs pending the negotiation ! with Uncle Sam.
 Rumors are still plentiful as to Japan intentions, but they are pooh ohed |
 MT. Blount. One report is that anothe
 big cruiser is coming to join the Naniwa | hun.
 The commander of the latter is said { have declared that he would not hesitat
 to turn his guns on the Boston and Moh
 can if it became necessary. This kind
 talk is regarded generally as ridiculous.

GOVERNOR MORRIS has appointed Fri day, May 5, Arbor day, and it is to be hoped that people who have the ground will observe the day by planting fruit or shade tree. If apple, peach, pear or plum were planted, long before the generation had rolled round each would, in all reasonable probability, produce many valuable crops of whole some fruit; if shade trees were planted, and each succeeding year Arbor day were observed in like manner, what a different aspect the country would present in thirty years, how greatly it's beauty would be enhanced, and how largely the value of the now naked, sunburned farms might increase; if forest trees, as the walnut, the chestnut, the oak, the poplar, what an addition would be made to the timber of the forests; and last, but far from being the least, how streams that are now dried up would re-appear, and the value of those still in existence be increased. Every years planting would in thirty years, at the lowest estimate, realize for their owner at least one dollar, so that at the end of thirty years the actual money value to the state, irrespective oi the benefit to the streams and the soil would aggregate many millions of dol lars.

Racteria in Tobacco.

There seems to be no end to the dis coveries that await us concerning bac- teria, and the relations of those micro scopie organisms to the well being of man. Who would have ever thought that the peculiar davors which charac- terize different kinds or brands of to- bacco are due to the presence of bac- teria? Yet that is the conclusion to which recent investigations by a Ger preparing the raw, green leaf for use, fermentative process called sweating is gone through with It has been sup. posed that the chemical changes in. duced by this process were the source of the peculiar qualities possessed by the cured tobacco. But according to Suchslands experiments it appears that micro-organisms may be the real cause of the changes He has examined to- bacco, which had been cured, from all parts of the world, and has found in it an abundance of micro-organisms. and upon cultivating the bacteria from . particular kind of tobacco, and then in- Ioculating another kind with this cul- ture, he has produced in 1t the taste and aroma of the original This discovery
 has led to the suggestion that the quail lty of tobacco grown in this country
 may be improved by simply inoculating it with bacteria from some finer-favored
 leaf growing elsewhere, Wines have
 already been improved by similar \ process

SOME of the unstable worlds fair coins have been bought by New York jeweller and made up into various articles. A few have been made to serve as lids to little purses of silver mesh. The coin is highly polished and turned obverse up. Purses thus fashioned cost from ten to fifteen dollars, and are used by extravagant young women for carry ing gold and silver coins. It is often diff cult to get much more than the value of the purse inside of it.

THE rush for office at Washington, although not unprecedented, has thus far been of kind to fairly illustrate the almost insane desire for office on the part of the American people generally. The daily leyees, if the receptions given to the horde of office seekers can be so styled, are painful exhibitions of the wide prevalence of this thirst for official honors and emoluments. How many of the hundreds who daily grasp the presidents hand with such fervor is it possible for him to remember in making out his appointments2 Possibly not over one in hundred; but that fact, although no doubt fully understood by the applicants, has thus far had no lessening effect upon the hungry crowd. They press on in battalions, the great majority of them only to realize in the end that they would have succeeded just as we'll and saved themselves heavy outlays of money and time, not to speak of mental worriment, had they remained at home attending to theil usual avocations.
