WHY HE IS UNPOPULAR IN ENG
LAND.

The London correspondent of the New
York Mail and Express tells that
paper that the English look upon the
election Of Mckinley as probable, and
that they consider it a blow at the in
dustries of England along many lines.
He declares that there has never been a
Presidential candidate better known or
so much feared in England as Governor
Mckinley, and that this knowledge ex-
tends TO all quarters of the English ma
ton. He adds that there is actual wall
ing and gnashing of teeth over the an
ticipated election of the Republican
candidate because the English know ii
means protection to American indus
tries, which are now open to exploitation
by English competitors.
The English understand then that pro-
lection is the foremost issue in Ameri-
can politics to-day. The attitude of the
parties on financial questions occasions
the English 10 discomfort or fear what
ever. but when it comes to Mckinley
and protection and American prosper
ity, the average Englishman knows
that 1t means cutting short his oppor-
tunities to crush out American indus
tries, that his own may be bettered and

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.

There Is no pleasant outlook for url-
happy Cuba At Cienfuegos the SMALL
pox is epidemic, forty deaths having
occurred in the second week In June;
yellow fever, dysentery and the worst
forms of malarial fever prevail, and
are increasing with alarming rapidity.
The Spanish officials make no ef-
fort to improve sanitary conditions,
and the insurgents cannot do much in
that direction, for the existence of a
state of war would make it difficult to
do So If even they were disposed. Still,
the Spanish might do much and over
come their national 1aziness If they
were not wholly heartless. 1t is re-
ported in the dispatches, for instance,
that a great heap of dead horses were
left to putrify In the steaming hot sun
at the first railway station out Of Ha-
vana and no effort was made to abate
the nuisance.
In Havana itself measles, dysentery.
smallpox and yellow fever prevail and
increase, and among the Spanish
troops are especially fatal. In addi-
ton, the malarial conditions of the
rainy season obtain. The sanitary con-
dition of the city is exceedingly bad,
the water supply is poor and the water
very bad, while milk Is scarce and OF
poor quality.
At Santiago smallpox is epidemic and
increasing in violence and scope Of ter
ritory occupied. Pernicious malarial
fevers grow worse and more deadly
daily, while CASTRO enteritis among the
children is playing havoc.
With large force at command and
absolute power in their hand in the
city Of Havana the Spanish military
and civil authorities are doing nothing
to correct the evils. Meantime, the in
surgents, by threatening to cut off the
water supply Of the city wholly, and
having practically closed all the ave-
nues to the producing sections, are
themselves suffering from physical dis
orders, but not to the extent of the
Spanish
These conditions will continue to
grow worse as the season advances.
The American Consul at Sagua la
Grande reports that yellow fever there
Is rapidly increasing, and that most
cases prove fatal. There are yet three
months of season in which these dis
eases, smallpox and yellow fever, may
be expected to prevail. Medical at
tendance is very slender, and such doc
tors as there are are becoming weary
and some of them have succumbed and
ceased work. All in all, then, with a
war of the most bitter character pre-
vailins and epidemic disease rioting,
the outlook for Cuba from now until
October next is gloomy indeed.

A debate before the Civics Club is
going on in this city, on the question Of
municipal ownership of public utilities.
In line with the debate the examples OF
two American cities in their efforts to
run municipal lighting plants are
worthy of consideration. Wheeling, w.
Va, installed a lighting plant on an
estimate of cost not exceeding S4O,0OO,
but when completed the works cost
little in excess of $125, 900. The claim
was made that the city could furnlsh
its own lights under municipal manage
ment at $50 each year, but the actual
trial proves that the cost under city con-

It seems to be conceded that Johann
Pr1rdIhon AItgeld carries the Democracy
of Illinois in his pocket; that he has
complete control of the machinery Of
the party, and that he is applying his
skill and asserting his domineering spir-
it in an attempt to control the national
party and the National Convention. The
Anarchist-and he is surely in close
sympathy with that class, since he is
looked upon by the Anarchist associa-
tions as a Patrons altogether
remarkable political manager, and he is
at this time demonstrating it by the in
fiuence ne exercises in the affairs OF
the National Democratic Convention

How He Saved the New Woman
Weather Prophet.

my reputation is gone forever!"
The new woman weather prophet
wrung her hands in agony as she gazed
out Of the window at the early morning
sky and saw that the day was going to
be bright and clear.
1t seemed hard to be cast into OBJ
livion in company with the great
weather Projectors of Hohokus and
Yaphank just when success was within
her grasp. For years she had studied
the heavens, wrestled with weather
maps, and pored over old almanacs,
until at last she felt herself competent
to represent the new woman among pro-
fessional forecasters.
Her first prediction, although a cor
rect one, brought her neither fame nor
wealth; but when she followed it up a
few days later by forecasting an unex-
pected blizzard she saw her name blaz-
oned forth in the newspapers, and let
ters of congratulation poured in from
all parts of the country. Flushed with
success, she made 4 third guess and
predicted storm-the most frightful
one within the recollection of man. This
forecast she had sent to all the papers.
and when she woke up on the eventful
morning and found that a calm, peace
full day was just dawning she screamed
forth in her agony:
My reputation is gone forever
Whats the MATTER" cried her hus-
band, jumping out of bed and hurrying
tic her side.
Look out in the street." she sobbed

storm of the century for to-day. l will

Perhaps it isn't as bad as all that
he replied.
"Oh, yes it is,' she returned. II sent
the forecast to all the papers. You re-
member l gave you the letters to mail"
Her husband heaved a sigh of relief.
He went to his coat pocket and fished
out bundle of letters.
Forgive me, my DEAR" he pleaded,
II forgot to mail them.''-Judge.

General Hooker and the Captain.
And this is true.

General B. F. Fisher who is now
practicing attorney in this city, was
Captain during the early days of the
war, and was detailed on General Hook
er's staff While in the lfeighborhood
CT Port Republic in 1863, Fisher was
ordered by Hooker to go out and
strengthen the picket line. which had
become somewhat demoralized by the
guerrilla parties of the enemy. Fisher
started ON his errand, but was cap
tured by the enemy and carried to Rich
mond. Here he was prisoner for some
time. After his return he was made a
Brigadier-G General and placed in charge
Of the signal corps. In the meantime
Hooker had been relieved Of his com
mand of the Army of the Potomac.
Some time in the winter of '63-64, Fish
er saw a notice of Hooker's arrival in
Washington. Here was a grand oppor-
tunity for him to play joke on his old
commander, so he donned the uniform
IN which he was captured and walked
into Wizards Hotel, where Hooker
was stopping. He knew the usual hab-
its of the General, and, without an
rouncing his presence or knocking, he
walked into Hookers room Hooker
was standing at his dressing table with
his back to the door, and, with his hair
brush in his hand, turned and looked at
Fisher.
Il have come to report said Fisher,
with a salute.
THE devil you have" cried Hooker.
THE lines are all right now, SIR re-
piled the pseudo Captain.
And you have just come to report,
have you?"
Yes, SIR"
Well" said Hooker, with that care

the highest of the private bids fell con-

however, that examples of comparative

The California Democrats, in State
Convention assembled, by resolution
declared that the party has rescued the
country through the Federal admins
tration from jingoism. Has it, indeed?
What jingoism has there been manifest
in THE last three years that the Demo-
cratic party has not fostered? How
about the Venezuela protest and the
coming of England to terms, if not by
open acknowledgment at least by ac-
quiescence? We are not of those who
find fault with that policy. On the con-
trary, we commend it, But it does
sound a bit strange to hear a Demo-
cratic convention making such blum
der as that expressed in the plank re-
ferred to. The trouble is that we have
not enough jingoism in this country
the term is used in lieu of the better
one, militant patriotism" There Is
such a thing as being peacefully COM
monplace, and into that low level the
country was drifting when Mr.. Cleve-
lana issued ms ceIeDTdleu SHeZueldH
manifesto, for which he should have all
credit. But his predecessor, General
Harrison, was even more aggressively
American, and in more than one in
stance gave foreign nations to under
stand that while we will put up with
much, we will not endure all things.
CAN it jingoism If you will, but with the
Republican party in the saddle and Nc
Kinley holding the reins, there will be
no uncertain sound in our warnings to
foreign powers not to trespass upon the
rights of Americans. AS for the Mon
roe doctrine, which the State Democra-
cy applauds, and credits President
Cleveland with vitdli2fng, there is no
party politics in that. 1t is American
ism, and has been vigorously asserted
by the Republican party since the day
OF its formation.

highly promoted. The subject affords
the Fresno Republican" texts for re-
marks which we quote in part as fol-
lows:
This Is the thing that the Britons
dread, but assuredly it need not be
dreaded by the people of the United
States. On the contrary, it's consum-
nation devoutly to be wished" There
can be no such thing as genuine pros
perity for our people while many OF
their factories stand idle, not so much
because capital is thus unused as be-
cause it leaves a large number of our
workingmen unemployed. When the
wheels of all the factories are in motion
good times are sure to result.
The people of the United States are
not inimical to those of Great Britain.
We wish our English cousins every rea-
sonable prosperity, but we cannot AFFORD
to sacrifice our own prosperity to theirs.
Here, as elsewhere, self preservation is
the first law of nature. The expert
ment of holding out an inducement for
the importation of English manufac-
lures to this country has been tried dur
ing the present Administration, and
while it has been eminently satisfactory
on the other side of the water, it has
been far from satisfactory here. The
American people are ina frame of mind
to desire American-mad goods. They
prefer to see the wheels of American
factories in motion. If any citizen OF
the United States does not feel in this
way, let him pay for the privilege OF
using goods of foreign manufacture.
1t is to be regretted that England
looks to an impending calamity, but
Americans should be held excusable for
not being willing to go deeper into in
dustrial stagnation than they already
have gone in order to avert it.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
INSPECTS WATER WORKS
CHAs. w. HOWARD, SPRING VALLEY
CO., HAS A LOOK.
Managed -Reservoirs-As to
Filtration.

Charles Webb Howard president of
the San Francisco Spring Valley Water
Works Co., who is now visiting Homo
lulu, inspected the local water system
Thursday afternoon. lie was accom-.
panied by Supt. Andrew Brown. The
valley works, pumping plant at Beret-
ania and Alakea streets and the new re-
servoir ON the slope of Punchbowl, were
all Wis ted.
Speaking this morning of his visit,
Mr.. Howard sal id:
Your water system is excellent, far
better than had expected to see in n
city of this size. IL is abreast il not
ahead of systems in larger and older
towns of Amer lea. The capacity OF the
combined system is 5000, 600 gallons per
day, though only 1000, 900 gallons are
utilized. An extra boiler at the pump
ing plant would insure the city against
drought or the dangers of conflagration.
"In Nuuanu valley found three
good reservoirs, or settings ponds.
These are as good as they can be made
of earth. More might be built but the
dement's would hardly equal the ex-
pense. While more water could be
stored, the settling ponds would be diff
cult to make and would increase the
per cent. of evaporation.
mo, sir, the electric light plant does
not injure the water in the least. The
water passes through pipes over the
wheel and into the pipes of he city
again. In place of damaging it. the
process of going through this wheel
aerates il and, would say, makes it
better drinking water. Any child can
understand that the wheel cannot iniure
the water. Is il not as clear and spark
ling after it leaves the electric station
as it is before it entersg
81 don't think a filtration system is at
all necessary. The water shed above
the works is comparatively very clean,
much more so than expected to find.
Animals are kept from it, and the per
cent. OF deleterious matter washed down
IL comparatively very small. There is
more vegetation on the water shed
here than the Spring Valley works, but
how much more decays and gets into
the water can not be determined with
out chemical analys sis. I'm San Fran.
cisco we rid the water of foreign sub.
stances by screen process, which
works well.
"The value of good water system to
Honolulu liz almost inestimable. The
receipts from rates are nothing compar.
ed the enhancement of property valua-
tions and the saving in insurance. 1t is
estimated in all cities that the advan-
tages in the latter way exceed those of
the former ten times over"
Mr.. Howard, who is certainly an
authority, paid a high tribute to the
capable management of the Honolulu
Water Works.

We introduced the SUCCESS"
FILTER a few months ago. and
the success we have had with them
has very quickly brought an imita-
ton to the market.
The fact that the well known
"Pasteur' Filter makers had to
contract with the makers OF the
SUCCESS for the fteriug stone
now used in the "Pastcur' shows
that the SUCCESS people struck
the proper stone for altering pur-
poses. So far we have not used the

time to furnish you the BaL at

first class filter, not an imitation.
remember that we sell them as low
