Among the numerous virtues which
cider is now supposed to possess, re-
marks the New York Tribune, is that
of being foe to the typhoid fever mi
crobe. That popular rural beverage
may not be capable Of curing typhoid
when case is fully developed, but a
moderate use OF good cider would
probably serve to kill off stray germs
OF that disease, II it should encounter
any in the system. Thus cider is
something Of preventive of the dis
order. The scientific fact has been
established in France recently that
malic acid, one of the acids found in
fruit (but especially in the apple), will
kill the microbe of typhoid fever. And
cider that contains certain percentage
OF the acid is also fatally obnoxious to
the creature. Typhoid germs cannot
live in first-class cider.

Mining a Legitimate Vocation.

"There is no business so legitimate
as mining" says Judge Goodwin edi-
torily in the Salt Lake Tribune. "In
other occupations where men obtain
money they go down in their pockets
to get it. They may give full value
for it, but after all it is only swap.
When they take it from the ground it
is a creation, and blesses not only him
who receives, but benefits all the
world"

To the Editor of The Evening Star:


AS the writer of the clear-crt statements
OF the aims, purposes and plans of the
Maryland Democratic Association made
last spring in answer to the questions rut
by your paper as to what position the sill
yer democracy of Maryland proposed taking
when nominations were to be made for the
fall elections, and as secretary of the asso-
citation, the writer made a true statement
backed up by the sentiments of nearly two
thousand members who had signed their
names to a card pledging themselves to the
principles of the Chicago platform and to
the support of William j. Bryan for re-
nomination for President by the national
democracy.
The writer well knew that to sustain the
cause in Maryland only true men should he
put on guard, and that nominations mimi
cal to the principles for which we had
worked and fought would but tend TO de-
crease a sentiment in the community and
to a large extent nulify our efforts
Remember, please, that the writer has
been the secretary of the association since
It started nearly two years ago, helped to
establish it, and gave his best thought and
time toward maintaining 1t because he be-
lieves thoroughly in the principles for
which the association was supposed to
exist

American products seem to be gaining
more rapidly in favor in China than those
of any other nation. The annual report of
the inspector general of customs of China
covering the year 1898, just received by the
treasury bureau of statistics, shows an in

China from the United States while the
increase in total imports is less than ) per
cent.
Imports into China from the United States
in 1893 were 17,163,312 Haikwan taels,

Of A. ,O10 taels, while those from Great
Britain, our most active rival in oriental
trade, fell from 40,o15, 5ST taels in 1897 to

into China from Hong Kong are, of course
largely of European origin and amounted
in 1898 to 91,214,01I tae1s, against M, 125 SST
taels in 1897 Even assuming that all of
the imports into China from Hong Kong
