No system of national quarantine, no
matter how thorough, can prove effec-
tive SO long as the yellow plague is al
lowed to breed at our very doors. Ev-
en- national quarantine cannot keep
away from our southern coasts the
contagion that flies in the air or creeps
in on the sluggish West Indian fogs
blown inland. Quarantine does not
prevent the spread of yellow fever in
climate where the conditions are ripe
for it, and we cannot keep the germs
away from our coasts so long as the
fever is allowed to breed and grow in
Cuba, where it exists from years end
to years end. We must be able to root
it out and destroy it in it's breeding
grounds. 1t must be stamped out of
Havana and other Cuban ports before
a quarantine can prove effective.

Sanford B. Dole.

few friends, but there were no repre-
sentatives of the United States govern
ment to formally welcome him.
1t was 11:3O before President Dole
and his party had landed and arrived
at the Occidental hotel. President
Dole promptly received delegation Of
newspaper men who were waiting to
see him, and spoke freely Of his mis-
sion here.
II do not come to the United States
to work for annexation. l am merely
on a friendly visit to this country and
it's president. l expect to remain in
San Francisco three or four days,
when will start direct for Washing
ton, and will then call upon President
Mckinley. 1t was thought best by
the Hawaiian government that during
the consideration of the annexation
treaty I had better be in Washington
and advise the Hawaiian legation on
certain matters. 1t is not my inten-
ton to make any argument or do any
lobbying for annexation. Of course, if
l am called upon by the United States
government to give any information,
I will readily do so.
Late in the afternoon Gen. Shafter
and his staff, in full uniform, made
their official call upon President Dole
at his hotel, and were received by
Maj. Iuakeaua, Col. Fisher and Mr..
Day, each of whom were resplendent
with gold lace, prior to being admitted
to the presence Of the distinguished
visitor, who was mast cordially well
coined by Gen. Shafter on behalf Of
the government of the United States.
The proceedings were entirely formal,
and after the usual exchange Of cour-
tesies the representatives of the gov
eminent left.

L LABOR,s GREAT FIGHT.
Cotton Mill Operatives Object to a
Reduction In Wages.

Cotton Mill Operatiyes object to a
Reduction In Wages. 55
Boston, Jan. 49,. The fight between
employer and employe in the New
England cotton mills is on and what
it will lead up to cannot be foretold.
The great corporations in New Bed
ford are silent and thousands Of ope-
ratives are idle. While here and there
discomfort cropped out all day, the
most serious being at Biddeford, Me-,
where 5000 persons refused to work
thus closing two mills at Lewiston,
where one mill was crippled by 400
weavers staying out. The general
wage reduction is estimated to effect
$4,000 persons in about $50 mills, al
though these mills have previously
adopted the new schedule and several
others have given notice of immedi-
ate reductions. Here and there dis
satisfaction was brought to the notice
of agents and overseers over minor
grievances, and in most cases these
were either remedied or an inquiry
promised. To-day finds the textile
operatives everywhere intently inter-
ested in the New Bedford struggle, for
here the test of strength and endur-
ance will come, and upon the outcome
will depend the question of an indus
trial battle the entire length and
breadth Of the New England states.

tory was sold last November by the
Warden company, which had been op-

was made at great sacrifice to r. e.
Willard of Tennessee, who has placed
In the factory a machine for the manu-
facture Of fax waste to be used in
holding oil in the fabrication Of car
wheels and like purposes. Mr.. Willard
says that when in full force the daily
product of the two machines will be
worth $3.50. The fax waste will be
largely shipped to the East. There
being only one other factory in the
United States which manufactures
the flax waste, Mr.. Willard is very
confident that there will be a demand
for all that he can make with his
force of eight men, for the material is
in many instances taking the place of
cotton waste.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 19.-One of the
most horrible tragedies that ever oc-
Cured in this vicinity has just been
brought to light. Hubert Seeley and
Miss Alice Caro- of Warrington attend
ed a party at Millview. They failed
to return on time and their continued
absence caused alarm. A searching
party was organized, and near a
bridge, a few miles from Millview,
the horse, attached to the vehicle, was
found tied to a tree. A few yards
further away, in a clump of trees, the
bodies of the two young people were
found, both dead. The young lady
had been killed by a pistol ball which
entered her head, and the young man
had been killed by pistol ball which
shattered his skull. After viewing
the bodies and surroundings the cor
oner's jury were convinced that the
young man had forcibly outraged the
young lady and then killed her and
subsequently committed suicide 1t
is said they were engaged to be mar
ried, and SO far as is known there
was no opposition to the marriage.
Both were we'll connected.

The so-called "bye elections" in Eng
land, by which are meant the scatter
ing elections to fill vacant seats in the
House of Commons, which occur from
time to time between the general cleo
tons, are always watched with inter-
est as indications of public sentiment.
There have been twenty-five such cleo
lions since the general parliamentary
election of 1895, in which the Conserva-
tives won their great victory. AS a
result, fourteen Conservatives and
eight Liberals have been replaced by
thirteen Liberals and nine Conserva-
tives. A Conservative majority of 6,025
in these twenty-five constituencies has
been changed into a Liberal majority
of $3.50.

from near Fosston that three Indians
See-Veener, Fred, Marchant and Korh-

During the night the straw stack
caught fire, and before the slumbering
Indians became aware Of their danger
one of their number, See-Veener, was
overcome by the heat and smoke and
was entirely cremated, while the two
others were terribly burned. The men
had been at work in the lumber camp
on the reservation and were on their
way to get their checks cashed.

N. A. G. Nystrom, who has been MISS

by two boys who were out hunting
rabbits. The body was discovered in
a deep tangled wood on the edge of a
swamp, about a mile and a half from

blood and the position of the body
would not indicate suicide, but rather
that the man had been killed and his
body taken to this out-of-the

Preachers Fool Son Creates a Panic
Among the Congregation.
Bourbon, Ind, Jan. 10. - Rev. Mr..
Akin, pastor of the flock of Bethel
church, Sunday night took for his
theme "His Satanic Majesty" He is
an eloquent man and he painted the
arch fiend in vivid colors. At the eli
max of the description being,
dressed to represent devil, with
large head and switching tail, ambled
up the aisle, blowing smoke from it's
nostrils and believing, II am the dev-
il and 1 want all of you" The audi
ence became panic-stricken. Men,
women and children were hurled to
the floor and trampled upon in the
mad rush for the door. In the con-
fusion the stove was upset and the
building caught fire. Before the hor-
rltied members regained their senses
the fire had made such Roadway that
all attempts to save the church were
In vain. Yesterday George Agin, son
of the preacher, confessed that he,
with the help of other boys, rugged up
a devil suit and, knowing the subject
of hist ather's sermon, concealed
himself behind a chair and awaited
the arrival of the audience.

A competent witness, connected with
a state board of charities, lately said
that thirty years of close official con-
tact with the legislature of the COM
monwealth in which he lives convince
him that the moral tone of legislators
and legislation is improving and not
deteriorating. The legislative corrup-
ton which actually exists is a menace
to the republic, but it does not help
matters to exaggerate the evil and fan
cy it where it does not exist. Some
people believe every evil report they
hear. Accused persons should be pre-
sumed to be innocent until they are
proved guilty-even such maligned
creatures as judges, senators and con-
gressmen.

If it is somebody else that rides it we
are quite sure to call it a hobby, but if
1t be our own selves who amble along
in this fashion, we are apt to dignity
our steed by the name of very strong
bent or an enthusiastic inclination.
We are quite apt to apply the terms
"crank" or "opinionated idiot" to
those who oppose our pet theories, for
getting that we, in our turn, may be
even more intolerant of theirs. It is
a most difficult thing for the ordinary
man to maintain what would be called
rational equilibrium. The tendency
to extremes is so strong in the average
character that often insensibly one
drifts into arbitrary holdings of be-
liefs and ideas, and is either unable or
unwilling to allow that other manners
and methods can be even approximate
1y correct. Hobbies are very comfort
able and desirable things if one rides
them with tight rein and sufficient
intelligence to keep them from pranc-
ing over other peoples preserves. But
the hobby that lifts its heels whenever
1t comes near to any of our special
friends, or that throws dust in the
eyes of the community at large and
mud spatters everything that passes bv
it, is simply nuisance, and it and it's
rider ought to be impounded until thew
are somewhat tanned down or at least
taught the wholesome lesson of &c.
spect for the rights of others.
