WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1900
me-. BABocK,s REORGANIZATION.

At Baraboo, last Tuesday, Hon. J. w
Babcock was for the fifth time, nominal
edfor congress by the republicans of this
Third district The nomination was
simply formal affair, no opposition
being manifest in the convention.
The CENSOR has frequently taken
issue with Mr.. Babcock ON matters OF
public policy. and more frequently and
positively objected TO some of his polit-
ical methods. 1t has done this in a
candid, and not spasmodic manner. 1t
has not one year berated him as the in
carnation of all that is repugnaat in
official and personal life, and the next
glorifed him as the ideal man and great
statesman We have said we believed
there were OF RS rs competent and de-
serving Of recognition as he. But il it
be the viii of the republicans of this
district to keep Congressman Babcock
where he is the balance of his natural
life, we certainly have nothing personal
or political to complain of
To withhold from Mr.. Babcock the
merit of being an influential and ener-
getic worker in congress, would be an
injustice. He has shown great tact in
bringing 30 his assistance elements pow
erful and winning. He has been in
touch with the political and personal
agencies of the country in such manner
that he has brought more patronage to
his friends and district than probably
any othel man in the United States
These are factors that carry greatest
weight in politics of late years, denom-
mate them as we may. Mr.. Babcock is
ever obliging, giving personal attention
to the small and great demands made
upon him by his constituents. He is an
indefatigable worker in aLy line under
taken. The old soldiers have in him
one who renders special service in look
ing mp and reporting and prosecut-
ing their claims before the pension
department
The CENSOR recognizes that all these
things have their weight, and it is not
to be wondered at that Mr., Babcock has
in each campaign an influential element
aggressively at his back and front. That
he will receive the full support of the
party in the approaching election goes
without question. Every republican
nominated for congress should receive
the support of his party The admins
tration of President Mckinley needs and
deserves this endorsement The future
welfare of the nation demands il.

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

Galesville Republican. The republi-
can party has always been the party of
liberty Emancipation was it's first great
work, the preservation of the Union,
that the whole nation might be free, was
its next task. The emancipation Of Am
erican labor from tramp lodging houses,
soup kitchens and idleness was the bene-
ficient task of the same party under the
matchless leadership of William McKin-
ley. The freedom of Cuba and Porto
Rico from the most accused government
that ever blasted fair lard was it's next
great task, and the moulding of the civic
life of these long-oppressed people to
harmonic with the best traditions of
Anglo-Saxon liberty is the great party s
neat task, which 1t assumes rs a solemn
duty that cannot with honor be evaded,
neglected or shifted.

been imported to all parts Of the world
from the tropical lands of the east. 1t
seems, however, to thrive better in it's
new home than In it's native soil.
The varieties of bananas cultivated
in Costa Rica are as numerous as the
varieties of apples in northern chimes.
While the red-skinned bananas are
considered the superior in the New
York market, the yellow skinned are
much the more common, as, being less
juicy, they stand the trip better and do
not decay so quickly.
The best authorities now agree that
there is no specific difference between
the banana and the plantain, and that
the names are frequently interchanged.
Some of the punches grow to an enor-
nous size, a single cluster frequently
weighing as much as eighty pounds.
The productiveness of the banana is
really wonderful. Humboldt estimated
that as compared with wheat it was
as one hundred and thirty three to one,
and as against potatoes forty-four to
one.
While in Costa RIGA the fruit is used
extensively for food, it is by no means
the main dependence Of the natives, as
| it is on many islands in the Pacific. A
useful and nutritious flour is extensive
ly made by grinding the unripe fruit
after it has been dried in the sun.
| Analysis shows that this banana flour
contains very large quantity of
starch, an average of more than seven
/ ty-one per cent having been found.
This element, which is so prominent in
the immature fruit, changes into sugar
as the fruit ripens and gives the ba-
mana it's sweetish taste.
| The tree, except where it reaches it's
uncommon development along the
| banks of the Matina, usually rises to a
height of ten or fifteen feet, while the
leaves will frequently grow to be ten
! feet long and two wide. The stem which
bears the punches of fruit, usually two
or three at once, is cut down. or dies
down naturally after the fruit is ma
| tured. Within a few weeks another
stem starts up to bear more clusters,
and so on without stopping for a gem
Grafton.
| Limon, or Port Limon as it is gen.
orally called, is the main seaport of the
| country. Although it has a population
of less than fifteen hundred people, it
is quite a thriving and busy town.
! Steamers from New York, Boston, New
Orleans and Kingston make regular
calls there, as, in addition to the bana-
ma trade which is already so large and
steadily growing, large shipments are
made of coffee, rubber and other prod
ucts of the country. AS bananas are
so perishable, naturally 1t Is necessary
| to get them to market in the quickest
possible time. For this reason the ba-
mana steamers are unusually fast boats
for their class. This also gives the
Costa RIGA planter the enjoyment of
| frequent and quick communication
with the outside world.

CONSUL HENRI MOET
SAILED ON ALAMEDA

Monsieur Henri Meet, who has repre-
for more than a year past, left on the
Alameda to take a well-earned vacation
at his capital before taking his new post
of service at Galveston, Texas. Mr.. Meets
service here has been of longer duration
than was expected by his chief or himself
when he was sent here from New York
May, 1899, to reiIeve NJ. Polliot, whom i'll
ness drove away from Honolulu. The few
months contemplated stretched away
and then came winter and the plague, and
now more than a year has been covered
in his period of service here, and that, too
when Paris holds the magntt which is
drawing the world to her gates.
1t is to the plague that the length of
stay of the Consul must be attributed
Once the pest had made it's appearance
all thought of early return was abandon
ed by NJ. Moet. When the call for a citi-
zens meeting issued he was one of the
first to respond and offer for service, and
was at once assigned an apana for in
spection, which work was diligently kept
up during the entire period covered by
the Citizens Committee. Mr. Moet had a
downtown block, embracing the Cathe-
dral and convent, and to all the expert
ences of a Consul who had seen service
in India during famine, in South America
during revolution, and in many parts of
the world during unusual occasions, was
added that of watching after the health
of the inhabitants of Honolulu.
During the months when inspection and
plague preventive measures were thought
necessary. the Consul was always at his
post, and earned the gratitude of those
with whom his duty brought him in con-
tact. The Sisters of the Sacred Heart
Convent have shown their apprecia ton
in the form of a souvenir most elabor-
ately painted and embroidered, while the
eBishop of Panopol!s and the Fathers of
the Cathedral unite in their esteem and
appreciation of the unselfsh conduct of
their Consul during the plague, for no
citizen worked less grudgingly and with
less thought of self.
Mr.. Meet ranks still as Vice Consul at
New York, though he has not actively
had much service there since before the
Spanish War. He was selected by Am
bassador Cambon to represent France at
st. Thomas and San Juan, having an es-
pecial part in the Porto Rican campaign.
He will have the most beautiful part of
the year in Paris before returning to the
United States.
Mr.. Meet leaves here many good friends
whose regret at his departure is as sim
cere as their aloha and wishes for a
| most pleasant journey and vacation.

CHARGES AGAINST FLINT.
His Wife Accuses Him of Many
Offences.

There are strong allegations in the
complaint in divorce filed by Mrs Nina
l. Flint against Captain Harry w. Flint
yesterday. Mrs. Flint charges that her
husband locked herself and her child
out of the house on the 18th of June,
saying to her, You won't sleep here"
and compelling her to secure lodgings
elsewhere. Mrs. Flint accuses her hus-
band also of making indecent proposals
to one Eva Crawford, nee Lancaster,
and of attempting to enter her private
chamber. She charges likewise that
Flint has been seen about the streets of
Honolulu with women of questionable
character. She says that he tried to
make her go to Sydney, Australia, on
the Warrimoo, sailing from Honolulu
on July 7th, saying that he would pay
her way thither, but that he would not
live with her after July 1st
Since July Sd Flint has refused to re-
turn home and has left his wife desti-
tute and sick. She asks for absolute
divorce, and that Flint be compelled to
pay her reasonable sum as permanent
alimony out of the $3.50 per month which
she says he earns as captain of the har-
Dor police.
Judge Humphreys permitted the suit
to be filed without deposit for costs.
