MIR. MACRUM.s EXPLANATION.

The innate dishonesty of the man is
seen perfectly. plain in the last sentence
Salt Lake Tribune.
Macrum has served a purpose. He has
illustrated the danger of growing too
fast.-Brooklyn Eagle.
The statement will not even make good
campaign material 1t is too self-reveal-
ing in it's frank avowal of failure.-Wash-
ington Star.
We question IL Mr.. Macrum will get
much sympathy from the American pub
lie on account OF his complaints against
Secretary Hay.-Denver Republican.
Macrum's criticism of Secretary Hay
will have to be backed with weightier
representations If he is to be taken seri-
ousiy on that point.--Kansas City Jour
nal.
The absurdlty OF the second section Of
the resolution win not fail TO provoke the
contempt of the citizen capable OF the
slightest independence of judgment.-Chi-
cago Post.
II might have been wiser for the secre-
tary of state to have awaited the con-
suls return. at any rate. before virtually
expeiiing him from the service and dis
patching Hay. jr., to the post.-Spring-
field Republican.
The mistake of the department was In
not recalling him before the war began.
1t ought to have been foreseen that n man
of so small caliber could not be trusted
with the important duties likely TO fall on
the Pretoria consulship.-Buffalo Express.
The ex-consul's explanation Is interest
ing, but IL is defective in that Il fails
10 explain. 1t proves two things. how
ever--frst. that the young man is deeply
displeased with the American govern
ment. and. second. that the administra-
ton acted wisely in getting rid of him.
New York Mail and Express.
From beginning TO end of his attempt
at Standardization there is nothing that
tells I'm his favor except an assertion that
his mail was tempered with by the censor
at Durham. That will have an ugly look
until an explanation IL forthcoming from
the British government. 1t is difficult to
see how any explanation can be offered

the fusion deal could sacrifice all their
beliefs for the purpose OF effecting an
alliance for spells. is there any reason
TO believe they will not weaken when it
comes to inaugurating any Of those re-
forms for which they seem to be SO
solicitous?
The entire fusion movement has been
fraud and delusion from the first. Any
honest principles in which individual
parties to the combine believe have been
ignored in favor of meaningless and
featureiess platform so constructed as
TO offend no one engaged in the con-
spiracy. There has been a capitulation
all around, and the single motive that
holds the aggregation together Is desire
to get office. IT is a sham of the cheap
est order, and the people OF Seattle will
say so very emphatically when they
vote one week from today.
The enthusiasm and the confidence of
the Republicans OF Seattle In the local
campaign were displayed in the rousing
rally held last night. II any one dream
ed that there was discomfort, apathy,
dissatisfaction or indifference to the re-
suit in the Republican ranks or in any
part of them. his mind must have been
disabused OF that impression. IF any one
fancied that the voters OF Seattle are
not alive to the Importance OF this cleo
ton and to the necessity OF retaining
the Republican party in control Of the
municipal affairs he would have
found his error corrected by mixing
with the throng of people who gave
assurance last night of their attachment
10 Republican principles and their earn
est support OF Republican candidates.
There is no lack of ~earnestness or en-
thusiasm in the campaign, as there will
be no flaw in the victory that COM
pletes 1t.

assumed as a cloak for factional oppo-
sition.
There is little or no chance for politi-
cal capital to be made out of legislation
for Alaska, no matter whether 1t comes
in conflict with the provisions of the
constitution or not: so special revenue
laws are passed for that territory. and
no Democrat raises his voice on behalf
Of the people who are compelled to pay
the taxes. His mock sympathy is re-
served for the dark-skinned Filipinos
and Puerto Ricans, who have offered to
them better government than In their
widest dreams they ever hoped for;
while the people of Alaska have before
them no prospect OF any government In
which they will have a voice or share.

REFORM IN CHINA.

Where is the regeneration of China
to come from? Any student of History
knows that when the west was stepped
in Barbarism the Chinese were a polish
ed people, who put forth great ideas,
thought beautiful dreams, established,
for their day, great scientific theories,
and in many cases put them to practi-
cal use, And then they stopped After
welcoming Marco Polo, and few other
European adventures under Kubla
Khan and his successors, China became
dead to the world. The foreigner was
''anathema marantha" just as he was
in Japan Both countries shut them
selves up by an impenetrable wall.
But the kiss of the prince of COM
merce walked the sleeping beauty OF
trade, and with that kiss the barriers
and walls of isolation began to crumble
In Japan the change came with tighten
ing speed. In China it has been slower
But in the latter country the leaven has
been working.
We have in our midst today one of
the progressive Chinese-Leung Chi
Tso. This gentleman has risked his life
for the cause he has taken up Young
China sees that it's only chance in ad-
vancement is to get into line with
western thought and western advance
ment. Chinese medievalism must be
overcome. Mr.. Chi-Tso for a. brief three
months had the opportunity to influence
the councils of the Empire, then came
the Palace intrigue the Dowager En-
reformers were lost Many were ex-
ecuted, the more fortunate escaped and
are now carrying on their propaganda,
outside the limits of the empire.
To carry out any reform is an uphill
task as very many people on these ISL
ands know. To carry out reform in
China is indeed an almost superhuman
task. The people in the coast prov
inces know the advantages of western
civilization, but the more you pene-
trate into the interior the harder it is
to make the prejudiced people under
stand the reason for change.
Lung Chi-Tso has a fine task before
him. He may not succeed, and he may
die a martyr to his cause, but he, and
other progressive Chinese, are going to
make a mark in the worlds history,
even though they may not reach the
goal of their ambition.
In the reorganizing work in China

DR.. Sen who was so prominent in the
reform work was educated in our

NO CATCHING AT sTRAws.

Drowning men, they say, viii catch
at straws. Naturally enough, because
they see nothing better to catch at.
1t is the principle Of any port in a
storm. All the same the straw does
not save the drowning man, nor is the
tempeSt-toSSed mariner likely to find
safe harbor every time he runs for
the shore. The scientifically con-
structed life preserVer is better than
a straw, and to know how to ride out
a storm is better than to trust to luck
in finding port in time of need. Just
so 1T is in disease and all manner Of
sickness. When your life is threat
ened by disease you naturally desire
mode Of treatment founded on alb
solute knowledge-a treatment that
has proved effective in other cases
like your own. This is the common
sense of the subject and no one will
dispute it, And tits because the we'll

never fails in the complaints for
which it is recommended, that it en-
joys the confidence of the people and
the medical profession everywhere.
The doctor who prescribes and the

VIGOROUS POLICY.

The influence of Lorrin A. Thurston
upon the councils of the Board of
Health is at once being felt. There was
decision about the proceedings at the
meeting last night which they have up
to the present lacked. There was dis
cussion, and it led|to something defin-
lite. Mr., Thurston's resolution was the
outcome of the discussion. 1t is clear
cut and proposes a definite remedy.
Removing to a proper quarantine the
inhabitants of Chinatown instead Of
keeping them in the infected district is
a thoroughly practical idea, and under
| this vigorous management it will be
carried out. The destruction of infect
ed property is the next step, and evil
IDENTIFY that will be thoroughly attended
to also.
! Using drastic measures like this will
be far cheaper in the end, because BUSH
ness need not be .paralyzed as it is at
present, and further, because this is the
only effective way of graduating the
plague. Destruction first, and cleanli-
words of the hour.
This is the line of action clearly
pointed out by the sections of the law
under which the Board acts, which are
as follows:
1910. When any person shall be in
fected with the smallpox, or other
sickness dangerous to the public health,
the Board of Health, or it's agent, may,
for the safety of the inhabitants re-
move such sick or infected person to
a separate house, and provide him with
nurses and other necessaries which
shall be at the charge of the person
himself, his parents or master, if able,
otherwise at the charge of the govern
ment."
"911. If the infected person cannot
be removed without danger to his life,
the Board of Health, or its agent, may
make provision for him as directed in
the last preceding section, in the house
in which he may be; and in such case.
they may cause the persons in the
neighborhood to be removed, and may
take such other measures as the" shall
judge necessary for the public health
and safety" N 81
The Board under this latter section
has ample authority for what has been
done since Sunday and what it is pro-
posed to do. The phrase may take
such other measures as they shall judge
necessary for the public health, and
safety" gives very wide latitudesidIt
certainly covers destruction of Inflicted
property 1t will be noted that nothing
is said about compensation, and that
where possible the expense is thrown
upon the infected
There does not seem any reason Why
SO much should have been made about
the support of citizens The Board of
Health is doing nothing illegal. It's
powers are great, and they are intended
to be great. The consent Of the citi-
zens, even in mass meeting, would not
make legal any illegal act of the Board.
But q full knowledge of the law, under
which it acts will enable 1t to sail to
success even in the face of opposition.
and there is no opposition. The only
complaint has been up to the present
that the Board had not gone far
enough and that it's measures savored
of weakness.

TUESDAY, JANUARY ?, 1900.

The injury to Chief Hunt, whether it
is serious or slight shows that at the
head of the Fire Department is man
always ready and determined to carry
on the work of the department even un-
der the most trying circumstances, and
always ready to do his duty, no matter
what the danger may be. The life of a
fireman is peculiar. He may have weeks
of nothing to do, and then suddenly
work comes on with rush, but it is
always well done.
