TIME TO STOP THRILLING.

The action of the republican execu.
tive committee. on the appointment of
a charter commission, as suggested
by the independents, was a piece of
peanut politics that disgraces the body
of men forming the committee. II be.
tokens a narrowness and bigotry in
partiZanship that is unworthy of men
calling themselves republicans. 1t is
TO be hoped that the action OF the com,
mittee will be rescinded before il l.
too late as any attempt to carry out
movements such as planned would re
suit in the ruin OF the party in Homo
lulu.
For the republicans TO attempt to
frame a charter regardless of the in
dependents is simply foolish. Surely
the men on the committee must know
this and the only reasonable excuse
for their action is that instead of be
ing sincere in supporting a charter
they are secretly trying to prevent the
framing and adoption OF one. Every
man knows that the Independents con-
troll the legislature in both branches

any legislation they may see fit. Be

Wilcox a Catholic.
From the Evening Bulletin.

From the Evening Bulletin.
Yesterday Wilcox was accepted a
a member of the Roman Catholic
church. When he entered the Grea;
Church of the Popes he bowed his
head and with the modesty always be-
coming him he accepted the blessing
OF the Priest who invited him to step
into the fold of the church which con
-rols the Earth. Wilcox is a Catholic
and the fact will never be forgotten
Mr.. Dole and Mr.. Cooper may fight

dominates here.

Along with the granting of woman
suffrage. Colorado abolished capital
punishment. Since the adjustment OF
capital punishment the state has been
disgraced by mob law and lynchings
on a number of occasions. one of the
lynchings being in the city of Denver
siNyears ago. OF course ali these for
mer outbreaks of mob law were tame
compared to the last awful crime
when the victim of the mob was burn
ed at the stake. The burning of Por
ter was no doubt partially due to the
fact that the people of Lincoln county
knew there was no law on the statute
books which provided an adequate
penalty for his crime. At the most he
could only be imprisoned for life and
long before the termination of his sen.
tence by death some kindhearted or
misguided governor might pardon him.
Now the people over the state are
agitating the revival of the death pen
atty for capital offenses and strong
pressure will be brought to bear upon
the legislature the coming winter 10
that end.

AS will be seen by a news dispatch
in another column Judge Brown of the
United States Court of the southern
district of New York is another Of
those erratic judges who is insane
enough to believe that the constitution
follows the flag. In deciding suit
for pilots fees in his court Judge
Brown held: 1t is evident that Porto
Rico. under the cession of the Island
by Spain to the United States. is not
foreign port and tits subject solely TO
the sovereignty and dominion of this
country" This learned Judge did not
hold that Porto Rico had to await the
action of Congress before its status
was fixed, but that under the cession
of the Island by Spain to ~-.e United
States it was subject solely to the soy
ereignty and dominion of the United
States. Now if Judge Brown were
only in Hawaii he would be told by
the Supreme court of the Territory
that he was all wrong and that there
existed an interregnum during which
neither Spain nor the United States
exercised sovereignty.

Crime and Cold Weather.

When cold weather begins street
robberies suddenly become frequent.
Either there is an influx of hard cases
from the country to the city when the
life of the tramp becomes chilly and
disagreeable, or the shorter days give
more hours to footpads in which to
work. 1t SO happens that nearly every
year there is about this time what is
popularity called an epidemic" or
Carnival OF crime" Men and women
are stopped on the streets and forced
by threats of violence to give up their
property. The community takes alarm,
asserts that there never was so much
crime before, and denounces the police
force for its inefficiency.

Insects.
The experts of the Agricultural De-
parment have discovered Contagious
disease which can be disseminated by
insects with deadly effect to the pests,
but without danger of spreading an
epidemic among members of the hu-
man race. BY close observation 1t has
been discovered that many annoying
insects have distemper, some of high
ly contagious character. BY propagat-
ing these disease germs and spreading
them, so that the insects will be af-
fected, contagion is spread and havoc
follows. Farmers will be especially In
terested in the announcement that Il
disease among grasshoppers similar to
lcprosy has been discovered and that
experiments conducted in Mississippi,
Nebraska and Minnesota demonstrate
that it is possible to distribute the
germs in walls through the mail, with
instructions to farmers ms to the meth
cd of using the contents so as to pro-
duce the best results.

knaw the bark SO that the trees prac-
tically are girdled. Insects destroy the
leaves and bark. and the pavements
coming so close to the trees keep out
the moisture which is absolutely nee
essary to the life of the trees. and keep
in the poisonous gases from the gas
and sewer pipes. More than 20 per
cent of these trees, which have been
the pride of New Haven for two CEN
turtles, have died in the last fifteen
years, or else are so damaged now
that their early death is certain. For
ten years the subject has been causing
serious concern in the city, yet nothing
positive has yet been done looking to
the certain preservation Of these elms.
