What Puzzled the Delegates.

A man who went away from home
some time ago to attend the convention
of Church people, was struck with the
beauty of the little town in which it was
held. He had plenty OF time, and while
wandering about walked into the village
cemetery. 1t was a beautiful place, and
the delegate walked around among the
graves. He saw a monument M Of the
latest in the cemetery, and read with sur
prise the Inscription on it.
"A Lawyer and an Honest Man,
The delegate scratched his head and
ooked at the monument again. He read
the inscription over and over.
Then he walked all around the monu-
ment and examined the grave closely.
Another man in the cemetery approached
and asked him:
Have you found the grave of an old
friend?''
NO." said the delegate, but 1 was
wondering how they anne to bury those
two men in the same grave."-St. Joseph

The Good Man.

Appeal.
AS a general proposition, the editor of
the Carson APPEAL is about rjpht.

some man who i almost too good for

any real-cState transaction with that in
d~IVldual, and place Il protecting hand on

The Bee knows what it is talkiuo
about. The writer once had a man come
to see HIM who wanted to sell A very
likely appearing horse. He was invited
to dinner and after taking a seat at the
table bowed his head and repeated am
audible grace before meat.
We were very anxious to get the horse

bargain, but this mans work struck rs
as particularly raw and so the hors,
transaction was declared off later ON

who had purchased The same horse. and
he said he felt That he was a rank sucker
for having purchased it. We old him

great row that we had not posted him
earlier considering the tip, "a dead open

Will Germany interfere.

Washington. June 29.-The State De
partnlent at Washington is considerin-
the report that German warships are at
the Philippines with a view of interfering
in case Dewey bOmbards Manila.
1t is thought that as this report comes
from Madrid it is a bluff to prevent tn,
bombardment. If Germany interferes
however, Dewey will fight the German
ships as he did the Spanish and the Gov
ernment is determined that it will toler-
ate no European Interference The tone
of the European press is in favOr OF
allowing America to conduct the war on
its own hoo and as it p~leases, so long as
no law of nations relative to warfare is
violated.
Should Germany interfere it will afford
England a preteXt for an American al
lance and it is not believed that Ger
many will do so foolish a thing as to
NEEDLE with Dewey's plans for the cap
ture of Manila.

commencement of the war thought Eu-
rope should notify the United States
hat the war must be confined to Ameri-
can waters. 1t is not now recognized that
the war must be confined to American
waters. 1t is now recognized that the
Americans are fully entitled to make war
in their own way, and they are indeed
driven to retaliae G upon Spain in this
manner owing to the tactics which Spain
has chosen to pursue"

Americans entered the battle at SevilIa

Old Regime sunday TO be Again IN
OnerttiOu

Operation.
NEW YORK, January 7.-Richard
Croker has Endorsed two bills, which
will be introduced by Assemblyman
Hamburger on Wednesday at Albany.
One is an amendment TO section 265
Of the Penal Code and provides for
Sunday baseball in this city. The new
section of the code, if the amendment
is passed by the Legislature and sign
ed by Governor Black, will read as
follows:
All shooting, hunting, fishing, horse
racing, gambling or other public sport,
exercise or shows, except the playing
of baseball on private grounds, with
the consent of the owners or lessees of
such grounds, upon the first day of the
week, and all noise disturbing the peace
of the day, are prohibited"
The other bill to legaliZe open
theaters on Sunday is an amendment to
section 277 of the Penal Code. which
now prohibits all theatrical per-
formances on Sunday. The amendment
reads: Except between the hours of
and II p. m.," thus providing for
regular theatricals instead Of con
certs" on Sunday nights.

THE WHARF RIGHTS.

As the controversy between the
Government, and the Oahu Rail
way Company, represented by Mr..
Dillingham;, is before the Courts,
we have nothing to say about the
legal merits, because the Courts are
perfectly competent to decide the
issue. If either party has made a
bad bargain, in the past, the usual
medicine must be taken by the
loser.
So far as the policy of the Gov
eminent is concerned, in improv-
ing our harbor facilities, the peo-
pie should speak most distinctly, if
that policy is msound. Mr.. Dill
lingham charges plainly that in the
case now at issue, the Government
proposes to make a wharf frontage
of only six hundred feet, in a GER
tain area, while he claims that fifty
two hundred feet can be made in
the same area, which would secure
ample facilities to the Government,

THE CHINESE EMPIRE.

There is much curiosity, if not
anxiety felt IN diplomatic circles,
everywhere, regarding Germany
movements in the Far East. As
usual, the Press, living as it does
on rumor5 and yarns, intimates as
it has done, periodically, that rela-
tions are terribly strained all
around, and war is inevitable.
Anyone who has followed up the
foreign policy of Germany, since
it took definite shape, under Bis
mark, knows that she has felt the
need of a commercial and naval
station in the East, corresponding
to that held by the English in
Hong Kong, the French at Tonkin,
the Portuguese at Macao, and now
the Russians in Pe-Chili.
The surprising thing is, that
Germany has not moved before III
securing some territory, as her
commerce has developed enormous
ly in competition with that of the
British in the East.
As to dividing Chinese territory,
neither Great Britain nor Germany
desire it. Great Britain is the
wisest old commercial fox at large,
in the world. She knows that tax
ing a large piece of China, and
opening it up, with railways, and
governing it well, means foolishly
nursing up millions of competitors
with her own manufacturers, as it
is now the case in India. Germany
understands this too. ''Opening
up savage Africa is one thing.
Opening up" and encouraging in
dustrial competition among several
hundred millions of Asiatics who
lay the Anglo-Saxon out fiat in in
telligent cheap labor is another
thing.
England and the United States
"opened up" Japan, expecting to
find there large markets for their
own goods. They did open mar
ket, and at the same time opened
up country which threatens seri-
ously to drive British and Ameri-
can goods of certain kinds out of
the Oriental markets. The more
China is brought under good and
liberal administration, the quicker
her millions of people will do their
own manufacturing, and take
money from, instead of sending it
to Europe.

1t is rather clear that the politi-

suddenly out of the East comes a

Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
a friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time.'' MARIETTA NJ.
