tie lower than was anticipated, was by
no means one to be ashamed Of. BY
some strange fate that always accom-
panfes such contests, some of the men
who can usually be depended upon to

the company average. But notwith-
standing a slight falling off in indi-
vidual instances, there is reason to be-
lieve that our local company stands
chance of winning. If the Denver club

pate that the margin will be so large

The parallel between the presidential
campaigns of 1896 and 1872, which can
hardly have failed to receive attention
from those familiar with our politics,
is further illustrated in Mr.. Bryan's
letter, where he gives the go-by to
the tariff question. Mr.. Greeley did
the same thing by agreeing to leave
it's settlement TO Congress. Mr.. Gree
ley was as strong in this views in one
direction on the tariff as Mr.. Bryan
is on the other, but ignoring the sub
ject did not help the one cause more
than it will now help the other. 1t
is simply curious in the present case
as containing a parallel, which there is
a probability will be carried out to the
end. AS regards intellectual strength
and political capacity among it's lead
ers, the Greeley movement was far
better equipped than is that of Bryan.
The former met the great business ele-
ment of the nation, and went down
before it. The business men are more
unitedly enlisted against Bryan today
and they have the conviction that the
danger threatened to their interests is
much more serious-Boston Herald

PLANT QUARANTINE.

The last issue of the Hawaii Herald
contains an item 70 the effect that on
a recent trip of the Kinau plants that
had not been inspected had been taken
to Hilo by private parties. The Herald
very properly regards this class OF
smuggling as a very serious Onense, and
most certainly if the practice has be-
come general vigorous measures should
be adopted TO put stop TO it. 1t
would seem plausible that Hawaii has
had sufficient experience with imported
pests 10 set to work at once and estab-
fish a regular plant quarantine on the
island of Oahu and also enforce more
strict regulations against the plants
and trees brought from other countries.
Certainly there is enough money in
vested in sugar cane and coffee to make
a strict plant quarantine a paying in
vestment.
Prof. KoebeIe has always urged that
more care be taken in examining and
cleaning the earths brought to the
country about the roots of the plants.
We believe Commissioner Marsden is
of the same opinion and from practi-
cal outsider, G. NJ. Heintz, we have the
same suggestion. In California the
plant quarantine is so strict that the
plant inspector gets plenty of berrat-
ing from tourists who have carefully
tended some pretty sprig of a plant
through many miles of their journey
only to have the whole thing dumped
into the ocean or burned after having
been inspected Such radical measures
seem needless to those who do not stop
to think, but it is the only way in
which the fruit orchards vegetable
ed from an increase of pests that are
already keeping the farmers and for
lists busy to say nothing of the scientist.
scientist.
What Hawaii needs is high and al
most unsurmountable barrier raised
against plants or trees from other
countries. Here is an instance where
the Government can use protective
policy to immense advantage. There
is no direct revenue from it, but every
u
coffee trees kept free from the
possible ravages of some pest which
finds it's way into the country imbed-
ded in the innocent looking earth about
plant roots means thousands of dollars
to the people of the country. 1t is not
our purpose to reflect upon the manner
in which the present regulations are
carried out, but we do believe
new regulations should be made,
and there is no necessity for
high plant-protection country. There
is too much at stake here to allow some
limerick of a plant or tree with its
handful of earth to jeopardize the agri-
cultural industries of the whole coun>
try.

The Kentucky Colonel and his bour-
bon whiskey have so long been associ-
ated with stories of almost every sec
ton of the South, that the news OF
good sized temperance movement in
that portion of the globe comes to the
unthinking outsiders as somewhat of a
surprise 1t is nevertheless true that
the good American men and women of
the Southern States are quite as eEer-
getic in their struggle for the advance
of temperance as any members OF the
cold water army in any other part OF
the world. South Carolina is ctill in
turmoil over the liquor problem, and
now the people of Georgia have open
ed a State election fight which will de-
eide the strength of the whiskey men.
The Peoples party has Endorsed the
Anti-Bar Room bill and the Democrats
followed by condemning it, hence the
sharp lines drawn between whiskey
and anti-whiskey. 1t is gratifying to
know that except in the cities and
larger towns the bar room is almost an
unknown quantity in Georgia. The
effort now is to cleanse the whole State.
The saloon men are amply supplied
with funds and are said to be using
their money to evil advantage upon the
negroes, who under the new registra-
ton law will have a fair chance to
vote. On the other hand the temper
ance classes include people of sound
principle but weak pocketbooks and
are calling for funds that they may
press a campaign of temperance edu-
cation to offset the corrupting power of
vote buyers. The tactics of the Geor-
gians of striking at the bar rooms first
is not without it's most excellent points
and the progress started along this
line will be watched with deep inter
est.

A very general impression prevails
that the substitution of aerated waters
safeguard against zymotic disease. Mrs.
Percy FARMLAND shows, in a recent ar
ticle in Nature, that though this i'm
preston is more or less justified by
investigation, it should only be en-
couraged to moderate extent. The
most satisfactory fact established by
the experiments of several investiga-
tors refers to cholera germs, and is
that these -bacilli cannot live in ordi-
nary settler and soda water longer than
three hours. The bacilli of typhoid
fever live much longer under the same
circumstances, and no degree of safety
from them is secured unless the aerated
water infected by them has been stored
for at least a fortnight before use.
Storage of the waters has been proved
of undoubted service in the destruction
of disease germs, and, in the absence
of preliminary precautions by the ma
nufacturerS, such as the removal of
all bacteria present by boiling, distilla-
ton or efficient filtration, Mrs. Frank
land recommends it as a measure of
great hygienic Importance.

Jemry Won the Race.

Certainly the most interesting bicycle
race that has occurred this summer was
the one run last evening by Samuel Jeffry
and James Ashton, and won by the for
mer. There had always been consider
able amount OF rivalry between the two
men and they had tried to settle the
question OF which was the speedier,
but could not come to any amicabIe ar
raugement. So, when the race last even
ing was proposed, each showed a sudden
and unexpected willingness to enter.
There were seven official timex eepers
and five judges, and each races had a
hacker, who followed or led him during
the race, and carried sponges, bottles,
linaments and other articles to be used in
case OF accidents or emergency. Sam
Millington went ahead to superintend af-
fairs and see that each touched the gate
post squarely with the fiat OF his foot as
per agreement and Angus Mcdonald had
charge OF affairs behind the racers.
When the men started from Tenth
street, Yellow Jacket, Ashton made a
terrible squirt and took quite lead, but
Jeffry had the wind and caught him Just
before they reached the gate, where they
we're to stop and return. Each racer
had considerable difficulty in getting off
his wheel In order to turn and one struck
rock which sent him headlong over the
handle bars. OF course, this threw him
back considerably, but he went at it
again with untiring energy and finished
the race about 100 yards in the rear OF
Jeffry.
The official timekeepers disagree on the
time, four making it in ID minutes ex-
actly and the other three making it
1887. However, Jeffrv won the race
and now looks for new fields to conquer.
