with anger. Evidently French politicians
believe that Russia, for old friendships
sake, will not be q party to any such
agreement. Germany will have little to
say, If she is allowed to gather in some of
the spoils of the raid. There are no other
nations of Europe for which either of the
robbers cares flip of the finger. If
Great Britain makes the proposition that
the London papers foreshadow, there will
remain but one thing more, the consent
of Russia. That the Car will agree to
the division is very probable. His policy
is one of peace, and that will greatly move
him to settle with England without re-
sort to arms.
As for France, he has no care whatever.
The Government of the republic has
served him as an admirable dart with
which to irritate one power and keep
another on speaking terms. Beyond that
the Gar cares nothing for French al
lance. He will throw the French over if
he comes to the conclusion that there is
more in division of China with Eng
land, than in an attempt to carry out his
schemes of southern advance alone, Or
aided only by France, and with the GER
tainty of an armed opposition on the part
of England and possibly of Germany.

UNPARDONABLE NEGLECT.
The San Jose MercMrN SAYS:

The apathy of the people and Of the author
tiles in this and other cities of California
upon the subject of impure milk is a matter
for wonder Some time ago il was positively
stated that there are mich cows in this
county that are afflicted with tuberculosis
and taat infected milk is daily being sold In
san Jose. let SO far no steps nave been
taken to locate the diseased cows or to sre-
vent mill, from them being sold. A similar
condition OF affairs exists at Fresno at SacTa-
mentO and ut other cities and towns, and the
residents OF eacn place appear to be equally
Indifferent 10 the consequences.
The people are not apathetic or indiffer-
ent, but solicitous and anxious on this
subject. It is the officials who are deaf,
blind and stubborn. The RECORD
UNION took up the subject two years ago
and has frequently since called the atten-
ton of County Supervisors to the imper-
atiye necessity for inspection of all dairy
herds in the county, and many in
terror journals have united in the warn
ing and advice, but not thing has
been done. 1t is the opinion of mem
bers of the State Board of Health that 5
per cent. of all the cattle in the State are
afflicted with tuberculosis. If it were
but 3 per cent. it would be alarming.
the animal is diseased, can convey the
seeds of the disease to thousands of peo-
pie. and science has demonstrated that to
be fact.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The wages of industry in the railway sys-
tenn of California absorb 60 per cent Of the
entire income. Fuel is a fixed charge, SO is
interest, maintenance, repairs, etc. SO that
the only elastic element in railroading, as q
rule, is wages. Now says the glorious resolu-
ton that the monkey pulled out of the chest
nuts with the Comstock paw on Monday
night in the rump Democratic Convention.
"We want railway income from freight re-
duced rs per cent" That means then re-
ducing wages correspondingly, for there is no
possibility Of any other of the charges of rail
way operation yielding. The others are fixed.
Wages and salaries then. the rump conYen-
tion wish cut down one-fourth And it is for
such idiocy that the Democracy OF Sacra-
mento expect wage-earners 10 vote.

Mr.. WILSON is now confronted with 9
Democratic candidate who stands on q
Democratic platform. Mr.. Wilson will
have no difficulty in defeating him. No
man can ride into the Office of Mayor on
a vehicle such as the Democratic platform
constitutes. Moreover, this nomination
by the Democracy is squarely slap in
the face of the people who voted for the
clear water contract that the Democratic
nominee helped to undo in the very teeth
of the expressed will Of the people. If
there ever was a time when Republicans
should feel thankful for the superior in
telligence of their party it is the present.
The opposition has made Republican
wisdom shine out in this campaign with
more than usual brilliancy.

RUTHLEssLY DRAGGED IN.

1t was the sincere desire of all good
citizens that the municipal campaign
should be fought out on municipal lines
only. That the one and only question in
it should be wise administration of city
affairs as opposed to uneconomic and i'm
provident methods and erroneous poll
cies.
But the divided skirt Democracy has
seen fit to crafty the ambitions OF dema
gogues and give them opportunity to
pose as the ''Saviors Of the people" by
dragging the Railroad Commission mat
ter into the city election campaign. With
Manifestation of idiocy little short of
madness, the convention has taken the
LaRue-Stanton railroad insanity by the
foretop and wrenched it into purely To-
cal fight.
The convention has indorsed the hori-
zontal reduction of railway freights pro-
posed in the Board of Railway Commits
sioners for the purpose of crippling the
chief industry of the State and fattening
the greed of demagogues. OF course the
candidates who stand upon that platform
must now pose as anti-railroad howlers
and calamity shriekers. Some of them
will fit into the role, and with others it
will be a masquerade. All the same, it i s
now squarely before this people whether
they will at the polls indorse this insan-
rebuke the demagogues who engineered
the resolution into the platform. There
will be no getting away from this matter;
any attempt to sQuirm out Of 1t will fail.
1t is fiat and square for or against the
suicidal, horizontal. confscating and in
dustrial prostrating reduction scheme.
The Republican platform is confined to
municipal matters, as was proper. It
treats OF municipal scandals and advises
municipal reforms. It pledges its candi-
dates to economy, discreet. progressive
government. and specifically points out
the two great needs of the city, and
promises to give them all attention possi-
bic, namely, good streets well main
tanned, good city sanitation, the latter in
Guiding, as a matter of course, drainage
and clean water, along with cleanliness
under the health ordinances. But the
Democratic platform mouths few gen.
eralities. and then projects into our choice
of local officials the question of the
LaRue-Stanton folly. Let the people de-
eide. Let Sacramento make up it's mind
right now if it is prepared to indorse this
asinine proceeding and insult common

IMMUNITY OF WITNESSES.
A Federal Decision Which Defines
Their Liability.

In the United States circuit court at
Pittsburg a decision has been made sus-
tanning the fifth amendment of the Consti-
tuition of the United States providing i'm
munity for witnesses who may be asked to
give testimony that shall tend to incrim-
mate themselves. Congress had tried to
offset this provision of the Constitution by
providing that such testimony should not
be used in federal courts against the wit
nesses. The circuit court has now sus-
tanned this piece of subterfuge legislation.
The case was one where Auditor Brown of
the Allegheny railroad refused to testify
before the United States grand jury at
Pittsburg.
The interstate commerce commission re-
gard it as victory for that body. AS it has
heretofore been prac tically Impossible to
obtain immunities under that statute in
the absence of such testimony. it will
readily be seen that the decision will be of

Interesting State of Affairs in the
Winchester District.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND. Va, September 12.-Quite
an interesting state of political affairs
exists now at Winchester and vicinity. The
latest sensation there is the withdrawal Of
S. II. Hansbrough from the senatorial con-
test The city of Winchester and the coun-
ties of Frederick and Shenandoah COM
prise the district. The two chairmen of
Frederick and Winchester decided to take
the poll OF the presidential election as a
basis of representation. This gave Freder
lex a majority in the convention to be
held next Monday
By Mr.. Hansbrough's withdrawal the
nomination will go to Clark Purcell of
Frederick, Mr. Walton, the author of the
law that bears his name, being the candi-
date from Shenandoah.
A striking feature of the situation is the
fact that Mr.. Purcell is out in a card stat
Ing that he is in no way committed to vote
for Gov. OFerrall for United States Sem
atCr. and the presumption is that he is for
john W. Daniel He has caused a number
of prominent men to oppose Mr.. Purcell on
views. 1t is inferred here by some we'll
chester, who has for years been one of the
bitterest political enemies Gov. O'Ferrail
has, and who. in a two-column communi-
cation to the Richmond papers a year or

BALTIMORE, Md, September 12.-One of
the chief features of today's celebration Is
the parade organized and directed by the
American Protective Association and the
Junior Order of American Mechanics
Eight thousand men were in line when the
parade started, at O'Clock this afternoon,
and its march through the crowded streets
created great enthusiasm.
The most interesting incident of the day
was the appearance of Miss Elizabeth
HARDWOOD Key, granddaughter of Francis
Scott Key, ard Miss Mabel Key Smith,
great granddaughter of the same.
These young ladies', who are residents of
Washington rode in a carriage at the head
of the procession, and their presence on
the occasion excited the most favorable
comment. They are in Baltimore as the
guests of the Junior Order of United Amer
lean Mechanics.
