A medical journal advises against
the excessive use of salt. 1t is first OF

1t is asserted that an excessive use OF
salt seriously ovcrtaxes the kidneys to

excessive use. The salt habit. 1t is

PETTIFOGGING.

One of the first moves against a good law.
which has been placed on the statute book
as the result of much work, is to test it's
constitutionality. usually on some technical
feature. The election laws, the fee and sal
ary laws and the apportionment laws,
sound in their essential features. are as
saulted upon some minor and inconsequen-
tial feature. The original park act of Indian
apoliS was the work of a number of law
yers OF experience. For more than two
years the board created by the law dis
charged its duties, when 1t was discovered
that the aims of certain persons would not
be secured if the work went on. Consequent
ly. some flaw in the law was sought and
found. The Constitution declares that a
term of office shall not exceed four years,
and the terms of the Park Board were linn
tied to five years. Because of this defect the
law was declared unconstitutional the Board
of Public Works became Park Commission
ers. and a new site was discovered and pur-
chased which is not as desirable as could
be found.
The acts Of the last Legislature Great
ing county and township boards are gen.
orally admitted to be the most useful leg
islation that has been enacted for years.
These laws have already put county and
township affairs upon a business basis. Sc
curing economical and intelligent manage
ments. Nine-tenths of the intelligent peo-
pie In the State believe In these laws. There
are those who do not, and they are bent on
getting rid of them. Their Law yers have
looked over the law with quizzing glasses
Of high magnifying power to find a fatal
defect They have discovered that certain
positions shall be held by freeholders only,
and this they hold to be unconstitutional.
because the Constitution has another quail
fication for office-holding. Upon this alleged
defect lawyers Will ask to have a measure
of vast Importance to good government
declared unconstitutional. Does not the
same defect hold In regard to election in
spectors? Why should not those who are
fighting good government seek to nave the
election laws declared unconstitutional?
Sensible people are very impatient with
such pettifogging to get rid of wholesome
laws.

The Loss Of a Session Delays Bust

SEATTLE, Wash. Oct. 23.-Owing to the
fact that the w. c. T. u. abandoned the
morning session to-day, the convention is
somewhat behind in it's work. The commit

convention is ~a2xiously waiting. went over
until tomorrow. The committee briefly
outlined the resolution favor;ng the flag

narcotic branch of the union addressed pub

power. II Is an argument for the survival
OF the unfttest. AS matter Of fact the
United States has never recognized the
principle of self-government in it's dealings
with savage tribes or semi-civilized peo-
pies. On the contrary, IT has always acted
on the principle that the progress Of civil
ization required that they be brought under
civilized government, no matter how much
force might be required 10 do it. By our
treaty with Spain we have a better right
to enforce American law over the Filipinos
than We had over the Indians. AS Cover
nor Roosevelt said: Every argument that
can be made for the Filipinos could be made
for the Apaches; every word that can be
said for Aguinaldo could be said for Sitting
Bull"
We are justified in basing our right to
suppress the insurrection in the Philippines
on the Constitution and treaties of the
United States. These are the supreme law
of the land: but there is a higher law,
namely, the law that requires civilized ma
tons 10 do the bidding of Providence in ex-
tending the area for a universal peace

revolution Of Legalismo. under Gen. Joa-

Several letters passed between Crespo and

A GERMAN INTERVIEW.
Genera Harrison Gets on Easily from
a Berlin Journalist.

a Berlin JOurnal1st.
New York Tribune.
A German interviewer for the Berliner
Tageblatt made an attempt to get an in
terview with ex-President Harrison during
his brief stay in the German capital, and
the result, which he spreads at length in the
columns of his paper, is somewhat amusing
to readers of American newspapers. The
interviewer was deeply impressed with Cen
eral Harrison's high position and distin-
guished record before he started on his err
rand, ard gives full expression to his mis-
givings as to his reception by such a per-
sonage. Perhaps it would be possible TO
have a talk with him as to what he thinks
of Germany, that he is visiting for the first
time; as to affairs In France, that he has
just left after a long visit; as to England
and the Transvaal. as to the Dewey ex-
element, as to the insurance commission,
as to-ah, there are so many things it would
be interesting to find his views about"
But it is first to be found out whether so
| eminent a man can be seen and whether
he will have the kindness to communicate
his opinions about all that one would like
to ask him. That isn't always so easy as
you might think.
The reporter went to General Harrison's
hotel early in the morning and asked the
tlll anu, IL " INV III oIN

"To settle disputes" people will continue
to write to the newspapers for the next
year asking when the nineteenth century
ends and the twentieth begins. The Journal
has already answered the inquiry many
times. but still constant readers and old
subscribers go on putting the question.
The answer has been that the twentieth
century will begin Jan. j, 1901, and 1t may
be of som interest 10 the various querlsts
to know that this date has been fixed by
what must be considered the highest au-
thority. The Chicago Tribune asked Direc-
tor Christie, of the Royal Observatory at
Greenwich, to decide the matter. and In re-
ply he writes as follows:
/ beg to inform you that the twentieth
century begins on Jan. l. 1901. 1t has been
generally agreed to call the first year or the
Christian era Ammo Domini l, not A. ID. U,
and consequently the second century begins
with A. ID. 10l, one hundred years after the
beginning of the first year, and so on for
the succeeding centuries. The question
was fully discussed at the Century dinner
at Glasgow on April Is. 1870. when the lord
dean of the guild, after quoting various
authorities, gave his decision as arbiter that
the nineteenth century did not commence
till Jan. 1. 1901. An account of this meeting
was printed for private circulation at the
time.
All the doubters should accept this and re-
gard the matter as officially settled.

ting address on 1.-The uses of ugliness.' There
will also be a chicken-pie supper. At yet
another the comic c~antata, Cox and Box.
will be given. supper and heaps of fun"
And so on. The most of these churches
appear to be in Brooklyn, and
must be made for the apparent frivolity on
the ground that life is rather dull in that
city, and the people must nave some
amusement. Besides, it must be acknowl-
edged that the variety shows the sun cor
