An old camper out once related to .
mortified housekeeper his experience Of
dishwsshing in u miners camp 1t did
not take much time, though the COM
pany was numerous and the utensils OF
the Kitchens were in constant use. The
reason why il took but little time he
sufficiently indicated by the statement
that the cook pot was not cleaned till
il became too small to hold u pudding
of reasonable size. Then somebody got
q hammer and knocked of the hardened
accretions from its interior till it was
restored nearly enough to its original
capacity to render further service.
On Tory island. an out Of the way bit
Of an Irish islet, and indeed to less
degree throughout Donegal, the natives
are not much more dainty in their liv-
ing, and their habit Of letting the
grounds remain indefinitely in their tea
pots has disastrous consequences.
Every day and all day long" says
recent writer. 1.-The teapot sits stew
ing in the embers Of the hearth, and at
each successive brew fresh tea is thrown
in, bu. the old is never thrown out un-
til the pot is choked" The result is an
unusual and excessive rate Of insanity.
Little wonder, when . Tory island boy
who was questioned as to his usual
meals, could reply:
"Stirabout for breakfast and tay fol-
dinner; tay, av coorse, at daytime and
stirabout for supper. whites we have
tay for breakfast instead and stirabout
for our dinner, and then another sup Of
tay before bedtime"
However. this diet, injurious as it il
to the nerves, does not seem to affect
the muscles The Tory islanders are q
robust and vigorous race, the men av.
eraging 8 feet in height and the women
unusually tall and strong. The women
indeed have need Of all their physical
strength, since it is they who do the
bulk Of the outdoor work, while the
men stay at home and spin and weave.

morning" says the same observer, lone

4 Serious Epidemic. ImurohnI,la

Several reasons exist for the hope and
belief that tAe yellow fever that has Just
appeared in the vicinity of New Orleans
will not become violently epidemic this
year. In the first place the cities located
within the fever district that were formerly
scouTged at frequent intervals by this
plague are today in a better sanitary con-
ditiOn than ever before While previously
little G. no attention as-paid to the proper
disposition OF drainage and general refuse
the municipalities and the states nave
learned the lesson of caution from their
bitter experiences and have provided means
for disposinS of the wastes in such manner
as ensures comparative cleanliness and
health Thus in place of the virtual invita-
tion to the fever that before existed in
almost all of these large centers there has
succeeded a condition of sanitation that
tends TO assure the safety of the population
rs far rs preventive precautions cal do So
Then. too, the season Is so far advanced
that !. is improbable that the fever can
secure such a foot-hod as to give it the
proportions of an epidemic before the adj

outbreaks OF this disease. Were cholera

4 Change of Base.

Last year the silver men repudiated the
law of supply and demand, affirmed the
existence OF mysterious and indissoluble
link between silver and wheat and an
nounced that only the election of Bryan
and silver legislation could prevent the
price of wheat from going down steadily
Bryan was not elected. There has been Ito
free coinage legislation. The price Of wheat
has gone up as fast as the price of silver
has gone down. Now the free silver men,
speaking through Mr.. Bryan. exaIt the
law of supply and demand and gravely re-
proach sound money advocates for believ-
ing or suggesting or insinuating that Nc
hlnleys election OF the gold standard or
the Dingley law has doomed wheat If
anybody in all the world attributes the
rise in wheat to Mckinley or the tariff he
deserves to be reproved bat not in decent
consistency by W. j. Bryan For this
credulous individual. if he exists, is clearly
disciple of the Bryanite doctrine of 1896,
that legislation. and not the law of supply
and demand. fixes prices.
Mr.. Bryan also suggests that a rise in
the price of wheat profits only those who
nave wheat to sell. and at the expense of
those who have wheat or flour or bread to
buy. forSetful of the fact that he was last
year urging the farmers who produce no
silver to double upon themselves the price
of silver. in order to increase through some
mysterious process the price of the wheat
which they do produce.
Having admitted in effect that the prices
of silver and wheat go up and down to-
gether only when by accident the condi-
tions of the law of supply and demand are
similar in respect to the two articles, and
having admitted that an increase in the
price of wheat or silver salone is of benefit
only to the seller of silver or wheat, at the
expense of the non-producer and buyer of
wheat or silver. ii only remains for the
Bryanites to concede that the universal
and uniform increase of all prices by a
dilution and depreciation of the money in
which values are stated would leave every
producer in the same relation as before to
everybody else. and would benefit nobody
When this concession has been made or
this contention announced, the irresistible
free-ccinage men. abandoning their own
deliberately constructed Notifications will
have entered and occupied three conspicu-
Gus positions lately in the exclusive pos
session of the enemy.

The New York Democr.cx

The political situation in New York hotb
state and city. grows in interest and conn
plications daily. There must shortly he
important developments. Richard Croker
reached home today-an event calculated
10 hasten the maturity of Tammany's plans
and the democratic state committee TO
nominate candidate for chief Justice of
the court of appeals has been called 10
meet on the 10Th instant.
Inc New York democracy occupies the
same position that the PENNSYLVANIA dem
ocracy occupied prior to the holding of the
Reading convention, and that the MARYLAND
democracy occupied prior to the Baltimore
convention. After the action of the democ-
racy of which one of those states will the
New York democracy fashion its action?
This was the argument alike in both
pennsylvania and Maryland on the part of
those afraid of the Chicago platform, but
without the courage to antagonize il.
Don't Introduce national issues, and par
ucuiarly the silver issue, into this cam
palgn- Make the fight on local issues
alone The republican record is vulnerable
ana on that line a democratic victory can
be achieved. But bring in any exciting fea-
lure OF last years contest, and necessarily
you will arouse all Of last years antago-
nisms and factionalsms"
In Pennsylvania this advice was con-
temptuously rejected. The democrats in
state convention, by an overwhelming ma
1or1ty, ran the party colors up to the mast
head. and invited those who disapproved
of the act to go ashore No victory was
desired or would be fought for under false
colors or under no colors at ALL In Mary
land the fact that Mr.. German was the
presiding genius explains the action taken.
The nag that was run up shows any color
or no color. as it straightens itself to the
particular view. The silver man anxious
to ship, and the gold man, a little color
blind i'll an off year may each find little
encouragement to come aboard. But the
flag is only a snare. 1t means nothing for
either silver or gold. The cruise is only for
Mr.. Germans individual benefit, and the
man who ships with any other conception
of the voyage will find himself in the end
sadly and greatly disappointed.
Under what colors will the New York
democrats set sail? Will they run up the
true colors, as the democrats of Pennsyl-
vania have done? Or try to make the voy-
age under a strip of Joseph's coat as Mr.
German and his friends in Maryland are
doing?

Garbage Troubles Here and E,.ewher,

Milwaukee is in the midst of a garbage
war. Minneapolis citizens are complaining
that they are bankruptinS themselves to
pay for inadequate garbage service
Washington is engaged i'll filming the garb-
age contractors superintendent for surrep-
titiousiy throwing refuse into the river
Altogether il would seem that the garbage
subject Is of wide interest and doubtless
the returns are not one-tenth received
Milwaakee's case is peculiar. Long ago a
plan was adopted whereby teams were
hired to carry the refuse into the country
where farmers were paid ten cents load
to bury it on their farms. The teamsters
were paid so week. This was a costly
method of disposition and it proved I'M
satisfactory. for complaints soon arose
from the citizens past whose property the
wagons were hauled. the odors were made
the basis OF vigorous protests and the case
has now become acute that some of the
suburban residents nave banded together
10 prevent the passage OF the garbage
wagons Special constabies have been en-
gagged by some of the small villages and Il
blockade of the garbage is imminent. The
authorities meanwhile are suggesting the
Use of closed conveyors, but nothing prac-
teal is accomplished. Minneapolis pays
the removal of the materials. while it is
estimated that the citizens pay fully $780,
90 in addition in individual bargains with
private collectors. The subject of dis
posal by process is now being preached
but no action is in sight. Locally the
situation is as acceptable possible under
the general conditions of the contract sys-
TEN. but it appears from the police court
proceedings just had that the closest watch
must be kept on the contractors agents to
prevent the adoption of the old-fashoned
mode of disposal by the river. AS long as
the Potomac is to be the route to the dis
posal plant great care must be exercised
TO prevent little alleged accidents that con-
tribute unsavory morseis to the streams
burdens Closed scows must be used and
rigid inspection must be maintained to en-
sure their proper management. Eternal
vigilance is the price of good garbage ser
vice.

II the would-be republican leaders of
Maryland are wise they will harmonize
their differences for the present. and. for
tne good or the party, get together. Moth
ing can be gained by wranglng over the
Spots OF office and personal leadership. as
is the case at present. The republican par
~ OF maryland Is on trial. 1t has an ex-
cement chance to demonstrate that it Is not
only competent to administer the affairs of
the state. but that it is worthy of the great
trust repoSed in it.
Up to the present time the republic an
party OF Maryland has had the moral and
Pohtical support of a large contingent of
democrats who opposed to Senator
German and his methods. These gentle
men are growing somewhat FESTIVE over
the nerce fractional Quarrels that have been
proceeding for some weeks past The re-
publican party of Maryland is not yet so
large in numbers, nor SO firmly seated in
the saddle. that it can afford to ignore al
together the wishes of its allies. The latter
nave not yet burned the bridges that lead
back to the democratic camp, and they NAV
return If these factional quarrels are to
continue.
1t would be well for Mr.. Wellington and
Mr.: Mudd to make note Of these things.
and not leave the impression on the minds
OF the people of the country that they ere
never SO much at peace as when they are
at war" Why should the question as to
whether DR.. Tuck shall be appointed COL
lector OF internal revenue or not be made
sufficient cause for the Junior senator
ana Mr. Mudd to assail one another in such
savage manner? Why, in fact, elevate
the spoils OF office so high and sink the
greater Issues at stake so low?
All these chickering's please the astute-
Gorman and his henchmen. They know
That II they continue much longer II ia

democratic party Of Maryland, as repre-
scented by the senior senator, win be re-
stored TO power and influence. Nothing
.oho
rev thousand votes will accomplish it,
democratic victory at this time would be
fatal to republican success in Maryland
1or years to come. Arthur P. German is a
man who does not often repeat his mic
takes. He works when most men s,eep
'He Is good friend and bad enemy, and
when he seems the least harmful he Is the
most dangerous. Messrs. Wellington and
