y. DELEGATES. pEDEGArEs

The Republican county committees oil
the several counties in the state will pro-
coed to call county conventions as usual
and elect delegates and alternate delegates
TO said state convention as above appor-
toned.
The basis OF representation and appor-
tionIuent for the county conventions VIII
be liked by the county central committees.
In the matter OF nominating candidates
OF the several judicial districts, should
there he any nomination to be made at
this time, the committee recommends that
in all cases where the district is limited to
one county, the regular county convention
make the nomination at the sa M time 1t
dominates candidates Tor all other county
offices. 10 other cases, where the district
is composed OF more than one county, let
the delegates to the state convention from
the counties comprising a district meet at
the time and place oi the state convention.
and there agree upon and make the nomi-
nations Toe same, being guided by such IN
stFuctIOns, II any. AS have been gwen ny
their respective county conventions. The
same rule to apply ia the case oil Joint rep
T~ssentative7 IN the state legislature.

for the government Of Republican state
conventions in Montana and are nov IN
force:

BURBANK THEATER.-All last week the

night the house was again filed to the
doors to see the came company in an
other OF D. X. Hggins' plays, The Ven
delta. The Vendetta is well written,
with an interesting plot and plenty of
action. The stage settings and costumes
were particularly fine. Mr.. ID. K. Hig-
gins as Ricardo displayed much ability.
This character is entirely different from
the one he portrayed last week. He WAS
frequently applauded in the prison
scene, and in the Monte Carlo scene he
was given opportunity to show force.
Madeline found sn able representa-
tive in Miss Georgia Waldron. She is Q
graceful actress, and her dressing is
worthy of mention. The support Was
excellent throughout. Miss Jennie
Weidman, as Annette, was very pleasing
as soubrette. She has q very neat
appearance.
The scenery WAS exceptionally good,
and WAS we'll handled. All OF the COM
pany acquitted themselves in highly
satisfactory manner, and the piece
promises to be a drawing card during
the balance OF the week.
For next week the sensational comedy
drama, The Plunger, is underlined.

VITALITY OF TRANSPLANrED FOR
EIGNgRS.

That the Irishman in Ireland is q very
different person from what he is in these
United States, aud that the German and
Italian become changed physically as
we'll as politically, is 80 plain as no
longer to admit of an argument. OBJ
servation has shown that the American
climate has it's influence upon all immI-
grants, and while some advance physi-
cally others deteriorate proportio nally.
In recent lecture by DR.. Billings, OF
Ballot college. Oxford, that gentleman
laid before his audience some curious
facts. He visited Amsrica in search of
the statistics set forth by him in his dis.
course and had evidently given deep re-
search to his subject. He went on to
show that the desth-rate in Austria
was 1915 to the 1000 inhabitants, while
the Austrian death-rate in America was
less than Is to the 1000. In Sweden he
had found death-rats of 17.5 to the
1000, while in America it had increased
place he had ever sesn for the study OF
such matters, as it is the most cosmo-
politan city of the world, in his belief.
One thing that astonished him was
the low death rate among the Russian
and Polish Jews of New York. who live
in filthy tenement houses and neglect all
sorts OF proper sanitary precautions.
They escape consumption, bronchitis
and pneumonia, and their death rate is
below 16 to the 1000, their chief fatal
maladies being diabetes, paralysis and
diseases OF the nervous system.
Tina Irish have death rate OF trifle
in excess of Is to the 1000 in their native
country, but in America it runs up to
27.7, their fatal ailments bsing pneu-
monia, tuberculosis and diphtheria,
owing to excessive use CT alcoholic slim
ulsnts; while the Scotch, who drink
more whisky and less beer than the
Irish, increase from Is in their native
country to 24.5 in America.
The Italians show falling of from
20 6 in thsir native country to 10 8 in
America, while the Germans, generally
more cleanly in their personal habits,
show decrease from 27.4 to 1873. Tn g
negroes, he finds, fail ready victims
to diseases OF pulmonary character,
especially in the winter months, while.
on tho other hand, they ware compara-
lively exempt from diseases OF mala.
rial character. Cancer he found to bs
excessively frequent and malignant
among people of German nativity, while
the negross and Italians seemed, from
some cause or other. to have escaped it
entirely.

lecture, the larger region OF hygienc
science amounts to but little beyond the

ONCE MORE TO THE BREACH.

The ladies of this city, nothing daunt
ed b. the brusque, not to say cavalier.
manner, in which they have been treated
by two county conventions, will appear
in force at the Democratic convention
today to present their claims to the
nomination OF Mrs. Kate Topper Galpin
for school superintendent. They Justly
urge that the schools, now so largely in
the hands OF ladies' as teachers, ought to
bedirectsd in their aupsrintendency by a
woman, and they present the name of
lady candidate of large experience and
unquestionahle fitness.
The point blank refusal OF the Pcpu-
accede to their wishes opens fine OPP
portunitv to tho D3 nocratic convention
that meets today to take advantage of
the error OF the other partiss aud to
place a sure-winning name for this
Office upon their ticket. 1t has become
a common thing for the grand old
party" to repeat the apothegm OF Grant,
that the Democratic party can always
be depended upon to do the wrong
thing at the right time for the Repub-
lican party. But in this case it would
seem that the inducement to do the
right thing at the wrong time for the
Republican party ia SO apparent inst
nothing but the most hopelessly opaq1e
brain would fail to see and act upon IL.
There is, underlying this determined
movement OF our most intelligent
women, something far more important
and far deeper than q mere political
desire to cater to the ambition OF an
individual. The women have become
justly alarmed at the way in which dis
reputable and DO odle politics are get
ting the upper hand in the m anagemsnt
of our schools. The exposures the
HERALD has made in the past year OF
actual dishonesty SHOWN in the pur.
chasing department OF our city board Of
education, OF the nepotism and fsvorit-
lem, il not worse, that has prevailed in
appointments to lucrative Offices in the
department, and the scandals that have
cropped out in so many directions as to
justify the general belief that there was
not merely Incompetence, but rottennsss,
in the power that has control OF our
school affairs. ALI these have aroused in
our thinking women a determination
to wrest the education of their children
out OF the hands OF these unworthy ele-
ments. They bslievs, and 80 do nina
tenths OF the community, that the pub
lie schools will be safe if they are en-
trusted to the care of competent women.
Certainly the dangerous abuses that
have cropped out lately could not mater
ialize II such womsn as are now taking
deep and earnest interest in the reform
could make themselves successfully
heard.
But will the Democratic convention
rise equal to the fine opportunity it
now has to give strength to the ticket
it will nominate? From what we hear
we believe it will be guided by wise
and polite counsels in this matter.
Speed the day whsn our school sys-
tenn shall be entirely and completely
taken out OF the filthy pool OF politics,
and by common consent placed in purer
and batter hands than those in which
they have fallsn during the masculine
re klms
