MCKINLEY A FAVORITE.
He Leads Bryan in a Vote on the
Steamer Queen,

That Mckinley and Hobart are easily
fayorites on shipboard is shown clearly
by ballot taken on the Queen, which
arrived from Alaska yesterday after
noon. During the trip northWard and
return, which was one of the most
pleasant and successful of the year,
politics was the one topic discussed. and
interest in national affairs was shared
alike by high and low. The record of the
ballot was kept by Samuel r. Stern, a
Spokane Republican, who has been
called a survivor of the Everett conven-
ton. Mr.. Stern also gives a short re-
view Of the political situation in his
county, and says he is convinced that
Spokane will be in line in November.
Every voter on the Queen, including
sailors, walters, stewards and cooks,
was allowed to express his preference,
and thus was cut off any chance for
saying that of course people who could
afford to take trip to Alaska would be
goldbugs and Mckinley men. The Re
publicans also gave to the Popocrats
the votes of all those on board who de-
clined to commit themselves. The re-
suit was surprise to everybody, for
out of the 104 votes on board seventy
three for Bryan. A ballot was then
taken among the women on board, and
the result just as clearly showed pre-
ference for the champion of sound
money, the vote standing fifty-seven to
| ten. Mr.. Stern analyzed the ballot cast
| by the qualified voters, and found that
| fifty Of them were from men distinctive
| ly Western, that is from Washington,
| oregon, California and British Colum-
| bia which last was entitled to a single
vote and was counted for Bryan. From
| Massachusetts, Connecticut New York
| New Jersey and Pennsylvania were
thirty three votes, and from North Car
olina, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa.
| Missouri, Indian Territory and Arizona
were twenty-one votes. The analysis
| showed that there were twenty States
and Territories represented on the bal
| lot.
1--WE discussed the financial question
| pretty generally" said Mr.. Stern "but
after the ballot was taken we found
| that one of the best informed men on
| finance on board was one of the cabin
| boys, who by the way, is the owner of
six silver mines in this State. He ex-
! pressed his preference as for McKin-
/ ley, and when one of the passengers ap-
peared surprised at the vote, the cabin
| boy said:
II am for Mckinley, and I win tell
you why. l have friend who has just
returned from Brazil, where he worked
on large coffee plantation employing
! 900 men. Those employees are paid
| 81 day in silver, that is to say 80 cents,
substantially. But the coffee planter
sells his coffee to our merchants in New
York. and he receives gold; 50 for every
| 81 that the laboring men get. ] do not
| think the men are given a fair chance
| under such system; and While / own
silver mines, do not believe in a silver
| policy that is dishonest Seattle

THE CONSERVATIVE COW

Stockton Mail: 1T is beginning to
look as though the crusade against tu-
berculosis In cattle We're to be extended
over the whole State.
The discovery that many whole herds
of. cows in San Francisco are con-
sumptive. and the announcement that
probably 30 per cent. of all the cows on
the peninsula are affected by the same
disease are matters for alarm. 1t is
little wonder that dairymen are up in
arms, as this state OF affairs threatens
their entire business, and the law pro-
Vides no compensation for their losses.
This does not seem quite fair. The
State, by it's negligence, permitted the
disease to be introduced within its
border, and now makes the individual
owners of diseased cows suffer the
whole loss. The slaughter is carried
on for the common good, and it does
seem as though the burden of the loss
should fall on the State, to a measur-
able extent, at least.
All viii agree that the public health
must be protected at all hazards Few
fcod products are as quickly tainted
as milk. and none go into such general
consumption. Probably nine-tenths OF
the children of this day depend on the
milk of the cow for their infantile sus-
tenance. 1t is of the highest import
ance that the germs of consumption
and of other diseases should not be
scattered broadcast among the young
by the agency of the dairy. That must
be prevented though every COW in the
State viii have to be slaughtered and
recourse once more had to the hardy
goat and the tylopodous camel.
