There is no doubt that the Mormon Rob
erts will lose his seat in Congress. 1t
seems to be agreed by both parties that
he must go. The only difference of opin-
ion is whether he shall be given his seat
and expelled or be refused permission TO
be sworn in as a member. The sentiment
throughout the country is too strong
against polygamy to permit of his serving
as a member of the House

The bubonic plague has made it's APP
pearance in Manila, Adelaide, Honolulu
and several other places. 1t is reassuring,
however, to know, that in most if not
quite all of the cities where it has APP
peared lately, the government of affairs
is in the hands of white men, who are
aware of the value of prompt sanitation
and have the courage to take such steps
in prevention Of spread Of the plague as
they conceive to be necessary.

1t is possible that the Empire of Austria
may be split upon the rock of two little
words, "hier," and "zde," respectively
the German and Czech equivalents of the
English word here" German has been
adopted as the official language of the
Austrian army; but the Czechs in the
army, contending that their own should
be the official language. decline to res
pond to the roll-call in the German
tongue So bitter has the "zde question"
become that the Emperor was constrain-
ed few days ago to notify the army
that further breaches of military disci-
pine in using the Czech word instead of
the German would not be tolerated, and
that offenders would be severely punish
Cd. When it is considered that the Aus
trian empire is not homogeneous, and
that the jealousies between race and
tongue are constantly strained almost
to the breaking point, it is not difficult to
understand the hard task which Francis
Joseph has to hold his people together
1t is confidently predicted in well-informed
circles that upon the death of the present
Emperor there will be an upheaval in
Austria Hungary which will change the
lines of political geography

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American Dem) saws.
In his speech in the Senate Senator Vest
took the position that persons could crit
icize the conduct of the administration
and oppose the retention of the PhiliD-
pines without being traitors TO their coun-
try. But he should have gone further ard
also asserted that people could ad-
vocate the retention of the Phil
ippines and other island possessions
without being DESTROYS of the
destruction of this republic. without being
'fmperialists" in the sense the anti-ex
pansionists use the term, and without de-
string or intending TO institute a mon
archy. If fair play is advocated, have
fair play all along the line"
Commenting on the recent excoriatlon Of
yellow journalism by Justice Brown Of
the United States Supreme Court. the
Washington Post Qnd) says: yellow
journalism is the curse of our day and
generation. But if the authors and con-
senting agents Of the infamy were treat
ed by the law as common pests and legit-
mate candidates for pursuit and extermi-
nation, and If, concurrently, the ignorant
rabble who support these pests were made
the objects of missionary work, the sore
could be healed in time. There are more
ways of killing a dog than by choking him
to death with butter
The New York Tribune (Rep) SAYS:
THE Savannah News completed the nf-
tieth year of its publication on Monday.
Its first editor was Col. william T.
Thompson, who had already achieved a
reputation as the author of Major Jones
Courtship." In 1865 Col J. II. Estill be-
came sole proprietor and editor and mas
continued in uninterrupted control of the
paper ever since. He has made it one of
the ablest and most prosperous journals in
the South"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
president Griscom's appeal for a steam
ship subsidy on the ground that fast
steamers like fast railroad trains, do not
pay, was unfortunate in its comparison
The railroad companies make no plea for
subsidies, nor do they threaten 10 with
draw the Improbable trains. In fact. they
continually add new and faster ones"

The city of Atchison. Kan. has an or
dinance which provides for municipal care
of tramps. The city undertakes to feed
and lodge the wanderers, ana in return for
their accommodations they are forced to
break stones for the city for a certain
number of hours per day. The ordinance
provides that private individuals shah not
feed or harbor tramps, and thus come into
competition with the municipal plan for
forcing them 10 work, under pain of pun
ishmeut. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that Atchison is not a favorite stopping
place with the knights Of the road.

the Cuban census, who has just returned

Gently completed will show the popula-
ton to be about 100000. The difference
Of more than 100000 would seem TO show
that Weyler's cruelty to the natives be-
fore American Interference claimed an
enormous number of victims. But there
are reasons for thinking that the Span
ish census was far from correct, being
taken more for the convenience Of the
officials in squeezing taxes out Of the peo-
'pie than from any desire 10 ascertain the
actual population Of the island.

Carbolic acid enters largely into the
manufacture of lyddite, the new explo-
sive which Great Britain is using in
South Africa. The British government
has prohibited the expectation of the acid,
as the war department needs large guam
titles of it. AS a consequence the price
of the article has advanced fully 100 per
cent The acid is universally used as a
disinfectant and preventive of disease, and
all users will feel the weight of the Brit

that carbolic acid, the great preventive of
disease and death as a germicide, should
be made such an agent of death as an ex-

The impression seems TO be that the
Count de Castellane, who married Anna
Could, is coming 20 this country for the
purpose of getting another supply of
money from the Gould estate. The story
in the French papers that he has lost
about $4,000 in recent speculations is
probably true. If he should squander all
of the immense fortune of his wife fore
he reaches middle life no one would be
very much surprised. If Jay Gou.d could
have forseen that much of his wealth
would be lost in reckless speculation by
a Frenchman having no ability to spec
ulate he might have made different dis
position of his great fortune

Mr.. Mcdonald, the contractor who Will
build the rapid transit tunnel in New
York, is a well known man in his line of
business, having constructed the great
belt line tunnel in Baltimore, and other
important works. AS to his ability to car
~ out his contract satisfactorily there
seems 10 be no doubt; nevertheless some
of the politicians and papers of New York
have been investigating his personal and
political connections and have ascertained
that he is a friend of Richard Croker a
cousin of Corporation Counsel Whalen, a
Tammany Hall Democrat and a member
of the Finance Committee of that organi-
cation. They are alleging, therefore, that
IL was McDonalds pull that got him
the contract. and that he is under obliga-
ton to see to it that every one of the TO-
600 workmen who viii be employed on the
tunnel shall be Tammany voters.

MR.. BLUNT IN TOWN
The State Health officer Going To

The quarantine is still being rigidly
enforced. Last night the Southern
Pacific had no through Pullman pas
sengers who might bring the plague

G, lden Horp, but it brought three car
loads of celestials bound for Mexico in
bond from Hong Kong. They had not
remained over in Frisco and DR..
Blunt tele graphed orders to DR.. Nor

| via Jusrez and the Mexican Central
and were taken across the river in q
| hack by the Southern Pacific people
this morning. The others we're con-
through last night The only plague
suspects discovered by DR.. Norton
were Pullman Conductor Townsend
and two colorsd porters. All three
were summary guaranteed and sent
west this morning.
This morning when the Santa F'e
was stopped at quarantine the vigil
lence of the arRus-eyed inspectors was
rewarded by the discovery Of two more
suspects among the passengers. Lest
they would infect the great state Of
Texas by rem aiming one econd longer
on the west end of her territory they
were Instantly loaded onto an engine
kept in readiness and rushed back over
the line into New Mexico at the rate
OF sixty miles an hour. All this took
p ace SO hastily that even the names of
the victims could not be learned but it
Is understood that both were bound for
this city. Last night express consign-
ed to Mexico was uDloaded from the
Southern Pacific train and sent back.

DR.. W. F. Blunt, the state health
officer, arrived this morning on the

DR.. Blunt today had conference
with Supt Davis, of Wells Fargo Ex-
press company, but refused to modify |
his order In regard to express for Mex

The local officials OF the express COM
panies are satisfied that as soon as the |
doctor has Investigated the situation
the quarantine will be removed or
modified. They say that the San
Francisco health authorities have COM
there is no possibility of the infection
spreading.
