Chinatown is Doomed.

Chinatown has been doomed 70 des;ruc-
uon. The change is to be made in the name
of business and public improvements. bur
church and mission workers have set the
seal of their approval upon the program.
The plan is to widen PelI street, one of The
most narrow streets in the city to an ave-
nue. at least 100 feet in width The new
street will start at Chatham Square and
end at Mulberry Bend Park. In this con-
nectiOn it will be of interest to state that
the police and health departments tried i'm
vain to wipe out Mulberry Bend and the
Five Points district, until some one wiTh
an eye to the artistic suggested the Ioca-

Mr. Choate spoke deliberately and in

slight deficit which must be made IN
during the month.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

"If anything will cure you, it is
Hoods Sarsaparilla."
This is the remark of thousands of
people who know by personal expert
ence the merit Of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
in recommending it to others.
They know that when the blood is
impure and the severest forms Of
Scrofula and Salt Rheum afflct their
unhappy victims, Hoods Sarsaparilla
Cures.
They know that when the blood
does not properly feed the nerves and
that tired feeling and nervous pros
tration prevails, Hoods Sarsaparilla
Cures.
They know that when the digestion
is wrong, when the impurities in the
blood permit or cause rheumatism,
catarrh, dyspepsia or other com
plants, Hoods Sarsaparilla Cures.

BOGUS QTARANTINE.

Editor Star: According to DR.. Day
and the Board of Health, the steam
ship China was in quarantine yester-
day. 1t was the usual quarantine; all
the passengers and crew were allowed
to come on shore, but town people who
had business with the officers of the
ship were not allowed to board the
vessel for a moment. This one sided
quarantine is ridiculous, and the pub
lie are heartily tired of it. port
physician should be capable of deter
mining whether or not there is conta-
gion on an incoming vessel if there
should be sickness, it is his duty to
place the vessel in quarantine and al
low no communication with the shore;
If the vessel is clean then he will al
low her to dock and his duty is ended
This is the manner in which quarantine
Is carried on in other countries. and
why should it not apply to Hawaii?

Wise men use the experience OF others
and make it their own.
Those who have taken Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla are the ones who are competent ia
speak Of it's merits.
Thousands of these people say Hoods
Sarsaparilla has cured them.
The testimonials of cures by Hoods
constitute vast mass of testimony which
proves the power OF this medicine to cure
great variety of diseases.
These cures often seem marvellous, YET
they are perfectly natural and are easily
explained. They are the necessary result
of purifying and enriching the blood.
Pure blood is the foundation of health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
Purifier and cures disease by purifying
and enriching the blood.
1t possesses peculiar curative power,
that is, it cures when other medicines
cannot cure, because it is peculiar in COM

THE OHIO CAMPHIGN.

IRON the tenor of the comment on the Ohio
| campaign it is evident the mperialists are en-
deavoring to make it appear as an appeal to the
country the issue of Imperialism. They declare
the Republican party stands for the imperial policy
and that every vote for the Republican candidate will
be vote for imperialism while every vote for the
Democratic candidate will be vote against it
Such pretensions are without justification but they
cunningy made. 1t has been the aim of the i'm
periaists all along identity the Republican party
with their policy and to effect that they have not
hesitated at any kind of Misrepresentation They
perceive ample reasons for feeling well assured Of
Republican success in Ohio against such an opponent
Mclean standing on platform that reiterates the
demand of the Chicago platform for the remonetiza-
ton of silver at 16 to and with little craft they
are devising means of claiming the victory as their
own.
The falseness of the claim has been exposed by the
Investigations into the situation in Ohio by cor
respondent of the New York Post, who asserts that
Mclean will not in any way represent the anti
imperial sentiment of the people of the State He
says: "Of every ten who abhor and despse i'm
periaism not more than five be induced to vote
for Mclean as method Of exhibiting this abhor-
renee and disgust The other five will say that the
remedy is than the disease as they will await
more favorable opportunity for expressing their
sentiments
The conditions in Ohio are in fact, of such ma
ture the vote will hardly signify the sentiment of the
people upon any issue other than the general one OF
keeping in power the party of prosperity and
keeping out of power the party of discomfort 1t
happens the Republican candidate for Governor is
man of known ability and integrity, who when hardly
more than boy served Union soldier and who
in manhood has filled many offices and positions of
public trust with fidelity and efficiency His oppo-
nent is one of the most corrupt men in American
politics. who has been only antagonistic to the
better interests of the people generally but bitter
and unscrupulous faction fighter in his own party
In such condition of affairs it is clear that if Nc
Lean should be elected it would be proof that the
tide of sentiment against Imperialism is running so
strong that the people, rather than give even seem
ing Endorsement to it, will vote against good man
who has been charged with imperialism by his oppo-
nens, and trust their State for time to man who
otherwise would not be able to poll the full vote of
even the Democratic stalwarts

A QUESTION OF TERRITORY.

N BLENDERS of the British in their aggressions
upon the Beers have advanced at one time or
- another many curious arguments to justify the
aggressors and condemn Kruger and the stawart
patriots who are backing him, but about the most
curious of all is put forth by the Philadelphia
Record in the plea that the Beers have no right to
independence because their country is too large for
the population. The Record says: at is assumed
that the Transvaa is compact little republic and that
the Beers in danger OF being crowded out of their
patrimony by unwelcome foreigners, when, in fact
the of the country is greater than that of France
There is the slightest to fear that 100
Beers and 100000 or so of Outlanders cannot live in
the country without osting another even though
they should multiply tenfold Now, it is one of the
unwritten laws of nations that man nor people
can claim a monopoly of the worlds unoccuped
lands, of their natural wealth; that these un-
peopled places and all they contain the heritage
Of all mankind and it is the natural right of man to
emgrate any locality and abstract from the ground
to which he obtain just title the bountes locked
up therein"
If that doctrine be up valid principle of in
ternational law it would be difficult to defend in a
court OF arbitration claims to the territory we
possess in the United States proper and could not
defend it at all to what possess in Alaska In that
Territory we are now holding an area of land many

SAND sOAP-M. G.. City. Sand soap is
prepared by adding to the melted soap
about one-half it's weight of fine silicious
sand. Some persons use the shelly sea
sapd, sifted from the shells, and well
washed. For the finer qualities finely
powdered pumicestone is used.
A PRUssIAN COIN-H. M. City, The
coin of which you send a drawing in .your
letter of inquiry is a four "silber grosch-
en-" coined during the reign of Frederick.
Wilhelm of Prussia (Borussia), 17Sl to 184O.
A groschen is cents AS an ancient
coin" it is worth just whatever an indi-
vidual who would like to be possessed of
it would be willing to give for it. Such
can be purchased from dealers at from
40 to 70 cents.
FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WARM. E. B.,
City The Franco-Prussian War origin
ated in the French Emperor's jealousy Of
the greatly increased power of Prussia
through the successful issue of the war
with Denmark in 1864 and Austria in 1866.
The German confederation was thereby
annulled and the North German Confed-
eracy established under the supremacy of
the King of Prussia, to which We're
further annexed Hanover, HeSSe-Cassel,
Nasen. Frankfort and other, provinces.
DISEASED CATTLE-L. H. NJ, Valley
Ford, Cal. The Board of Health of San
Francisco has the right to quarantine cat
tie if there is suspicion that they. are
affected with disease, and if it appears
that the cattle are afflicted it may or
der the same disposed of in the man
ner that is best for safety. If it
should turn out that the cattle were
not affected by disease, and they had
been disposed of by the Board of Health,
the party who is the sufferer could COM
mence an action against the board for
damages. But in order to do that much
would depend upon the circumstances, as
to whether that was cause for action.

MARCONI and HIS TELEGRAPHY.

= UGLIELMO MARCONI, the expert in wire
IT less telegraphy, has been somewhat unfortu-
~ nate inasmuch as his arrival in this country
has occurred time when the public has no atten-
ton to give to any but Dewey. The yacht race
for the America cup, which is to be reported for The
Call and the New York Herald by his system OF
teegraphy, is for the moment forgotten and his
rival in New York days ago was almost un-
noted by people watching and waiting TOR the com
ing of the hero OF Manila.
Marconi, however, will have his day in due time.
The success accomplished by The Call in procuring
by wireless telegraphy earlier notice than any OF
its contemporaries of the arrival off the Golden Gate
of the transport with the California Volunteers was
an illustration of the value Of the telegraphy to
practical journalism. That feat will be memorable
because it the first OF the system IN actual
newsgathering, but it comparatively simple. The
work to be done in connection with the yacht race
will be more complex and more difficult and yet
there is no reason to doubt it will be accomplished
successfully in every respect.
The whose experiments have made wireless
teegraphy possible is one of the few of genius
to whom it has been given to achieve epoch
making feat at the very beginning OF manhood.
Marconi is but 26 years DID, and he has been working
at his system only about FIVE years. He began by
trying to send electric messages without wires from
!
attained some success, and then went to England Of
late the Improvement of his system has been rapid.
When he first came before the public he did no more
than exhibit some amusing experiments, Now he
has given the world invention OF vast usefulness
in many directions
During the recent British naval maneuvers mes
sages were sent between ships eighty miles apart
across intervening land, and it thereby demon
strated that neither tall buildings steel masts
tains the curvature OF the earth stops the COM
munication Since such things do not count as OBJ
stacles, it is difficult to set limit to the extent to
which the telegraphy may not be extended The
British about to make an experiment of send
ing messages for 300 miles If that be accomplished
greater distances will next be undertaken and per-
haps before the century closes the age which prided
itself on the electric wire will find the wire useless
and dispatches across the ocean will be transmitted
through the air.
All OF these wonderful probabilities are the results
of some experiments made by an Italian youth mainly
for his amusement while student at the University
of Bologna They would OF course have been at
ained without him, for hundreds Of others were work
ing at the same problems He alone however has
had the genius to perceive the value of the dis
closures made by each experiment and thus
move rapidly on from step to another. Marconi
merits every honor this country can give him He
has done great work for the world and fortunately
is young enough to receive in his own person much
of the benefit that will flow from it.
