The Census Bureau denies that it has
received any 81 per dozen towels from
the purchasing agents OF the Board OF
Health. The Bureau Is right; the tow
els merely went 70 the ONCE which the
census enumerator had loaned to the
plague-nghters. Whether the fabrics
are there Jet we do not know but sup
pose that they have been carefully col
lected and stored for future auction
purposes, with the "a per dozen towels
and $3.50 per dozen napkins. etcetera.
There must. by this time, be a vast
store of useful articles on hand waiting
for the red flag. and the Advertiser
hopes that 1t will not be denied an op-
portunity to list them.

The TACT that a good many Boer pris-
oners are dying does not necessarily
reflect upon the humanity OF the Brit
ish. The latter are probably doing
their best to make the Beers comfort
able. but many Of the men are old, all
are homesick, while anxiety for fami-
lies left in the swirl OF the war. the
lack OF customary exercise and mala-
dies brought on by hard service, suf-
ficiently account for growing Boer
mortality. As rule Imprisonment OF
soldiers kills more of them than bat
ties do. "a

The criticism so often made of the
British military commanders that they
have learned nothing about irregular
or guerrilla fighting since Braddock's
sad experience in the PENNSYLVANIA
woods is again borne out by the mis-
adventure of Colonel Broadwood's men
east of Bloemfontein. Though the mis-
haps had with a concealed foe by Meth
uen, Gatacre and White were fresh in
the public mind, Broadwood blundered
Into an ambush, just as they had
done. Why he did not avoid the trap
with his main force by sending scouts
into II first is the unanswered military
question of the hour. Somehow Brit
ish officers have a strange aversion to
scouting. although that precautionary
duty Is as essential to their bus
mess as the projection OF a skirmish

Kwang Yu Wei's order for 5000 uni
forms in Hongkong, which has drawn
protests from LII Hung Chang and the
Empress Dowager, does not comport
with the pretence of the Chinese re-
formers that their schemes are educa-
tional only. People with a price on
their heads have small chance to teach
those who want to earn the reward,
and it Is evident that Kwang Yu Wei
and his comrades see no way to pro-
coed except by force of arms. Hence
the Hongkong order for uniforms. See
ing the turn things are taking, 1t GER
tainly behooves white men, whatever
their sympathy with reform or LIBERAL
ism may be, to withhold their encour-
agement from Kwang Yu Wei and his
friends. 1t is beyond the power of such
men to regenerate CHINA task
which the European nations them
selves are finding difficult-but they
perhaps have the power to start the
most awful civil war in history. To
be particeps criminis with that would
be poor role indeed for any civilized
people.

The demagogues In Congress say that
the Hawaiian penal contract law is
slavery. But as the same condition ia
to be found In the United States, where
1t thrivss by virtue Of a recent decision
Of the Supreme Court and by the assent
OF Congress, the demagogues should
look into the parable OF the mote and
the beam. Every sailor who signs an
American shipping list for q round
voyage must fulfill that contract, II
physically and mentally able to do so,
or go TO jail. That Is all Hawaiian law
requires of contract field laborers-all
that II asked of the rescued Cali
clans" about whom Rabbi Levy and
the San Francisco Examiner have in

rankly inconsistent to assail Hawaiian
contract labor and leave American
contract labor on the statute books.

Mr.. Kipling sounds a key note OF
Cancellation In his poem on Joubert
which Is also voiced in the stirring
prose OF Winston Churchill. The idea
OF these writer's Is that the future Brit
ish policy In South Africa should be
to concilifte the Beers and gradually
amalgamate the English and Dutch
races. creating In the end a powerful
native cross. Undoubtedly a people
mixed In this way would be prime

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Presidential Privileges /.


1t would create a sensation in the
country IL, during the the consideration
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in the
senate, the president should present
himself at the closed doors and ask to
be admitted. IL he should take this ac-
ton, the doors would have to be open
ed to him. More than this, he would
find a place reserved for him on the
right of the presiding officer, Senator
Frye Ii Is not generally known that
the rules of the senate provide for the
presence OF the president in executive
sessions. Here is the text of the rule:
when the president OF the United
States shall meet the senate In the SEN
ate chamber for the consideration OF
executive business, he shall have seat
on the right of the presiding o11cer.
1t has been many long day, recalls
the Washington Post, since the pres
ident has participated in the secret ses-
sions of the senate. 1t was a favorite
habit with Washington and some OF
the earlier presidents, and in the rec
ords of the senate are still preserved
the letters which Washington used to
send, notifying the senators that he in
tended to make an Official call upon
them. Nowadays, the senator's go to
see the president. More than this, IL
the president should order the senate to
meet him In the cabinet room Of the
White House. for instance. they would
obey; for one Of the senate rules ex-
pressly provides that when the senate
shall be convened In any place by the
president OF the United States. the
presiding officer and the senator's shall
assemble at the place appointed.

universal that these differences can be

might cause material delay are the

THOUSANDS BEAR WITNESS.
To the Value of the Pyramid Pile
Cure.

Thousands of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the inestimable value of the
Pyramid Pile Cure and even those
who have undergone surgical opera
tons. without cure have been happily
surprised by results from few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain and itching is
almost instantaneous and the healing
oils and astringents contained in the
remedy gradually and naturally bring
about a complete cure in any form of
piles. itching, protruding.l internal or
bleeding.

Mr.. Edward Dur ellen of Wilkes
barre, Pa. says: For seven years I
was scarcely ever free from the itch
ing torment of piles. I had used ONT
ments and salves without number and
oftentimes got relief from them. but it
took the Pyramid Pile Cure to make a
complete cure and it did it thoroughly
and for eighteen months i have not
had the slightest trace of piles. I feel
all the more rejoiced because some Of
my friends told me 1 would never be
cured unless I submitted TO surgical
operation and this felt I never could
