HYPOCRISY AND OPPRESSION

The New York Mail and Express,
though taking rather narrow view on
Utah questions, gives space to the sub
Joined letter in defense Of Mr.. Robertss
constitutional rights;
"Sr-Permit me to say that the ex-
clusion OF Representative Roberts from
the congressional seat 10 which the peo-
pie OF Utah elected him would be an
act Of the grossest hypocrisy and OPP
preston. II Mr., Roberts, In spite of
his polygamous relations, Is satlsfac-
tory TO his constituents, | don't see
what right anybody else has to object.
Isn't his moral character as good as
that Of many OF the members who are
trying 10 keep him out OF the House?
He pays his debts, cares for his family.
respects his neighbors and w0rships
God according to the dictates OF his
own conscience. What right have
other men to rob him of an office hon
estly won, on the fiimsy pretext OF pro-
tecting American homes against the
influence Of polygamy?
"Mr. Roberts should be seated. IL
he has offended, then Utah has Offend
ed still more flagrantly, and Il Is
against her-a sovereign common
wealth Of the Union-that the penalties
should lie. For goodness sake let US
have done with this hypocritical cant
about the twin relic OF barbarism,' and
acknowledge that Mr.. Roberts's title to
his seat Is absolutely unassaiabe and
that to destroy it'woud be a wanton
outrage upon law and justice.

NOT INFALLIBJE.

The Medical Record OF January 9Th
prints the following paragraph which
is apropos OF the heated discussion on
the smallpox scare:
mo end OF trouble has been caused
In various parts Of the country during
The past year or two by confusion IN
the minds OF various physicians be-
tween varlola and yarcella The latest
case Of the sort was at Dixon. ILL.,, where
numerous cases Of smallpox occurred In
the course OF six weeks, but were all
diagnosed as chickenpox, the mistake
n9t being discovered until there had
been nearly one hundred cases. Re-
Gently a mistake the other way was
made by physician on a train between
Chicago and New York. Tie notified
the conductor that there were two cases
OF smallpox aboard. and the conductor
teicgrauhed the news ahead to Pitts
burg. When the train arrived there II
was held, and policemen would not per-
init any Of the passengers TO alight.
The city physician examined the pa
tients. two children, found they were
III with nothing more serious than
chickenpox, and the train vas released.
The passenger who had caused the
connection by declaring the cases TO be
smallpox was physician from Kan
sas, and fearing that the passengers
wcLlG carry out their promise to make
II pleasant for him the rest Of The
journey, he waited over for another
train"

A MENACE TO HEALTH.

Mayor Mayburg. OF Detroit, not long
ago called attention to fact which
ought to be OF more concern to boards
OF health than the attendance at school
OF children not poisoned by cowpox. AS
quoted in the sanitarlan for January,
he said
AS was going home last night on a
car that was shamefully oyercrOwded,
II occurred TO me that the local board
OF health might very well take up the
matter and give the people relief, espec-
tally just now. when there Is so much
disease prevalent In the city.
The board OF health posts signs all
over the city forbldding people 10 spit
on the sidewalks and Ia the ears. and
| think that any physician will agree
that there is more danger Of contagion
from riding In one Of these densely
packed cars than from inhallng the
dust Of dried sputum. Every day we
see cars packed so full that the people
In them can barely move. The doors
are closed. the air becomes foul, the
people breathe In each others breath
and II there should happen to be any
lurking contagious disease in the crowd
| should think II would have a better
chance Of spreading than II the man
spit all over the sidewalk for a mile

THE ENGLISH EXCITEMENT.

A writer In the North American Re-
view apparently expresses a Russian
opinion Of the aims and purposes Of
Great Britain In carrying on the pres
ent campaign In Africa. The writer says
the intention is to acquire suUrema-
cy in the Indian ocean and the Persian
gulf. The tightening Of the grasp on
South Africa gives England new
strength on the Indian ocean, bringing
her nearer to India, to the Persian gulf,
to Arabia and the far east.
The rumors to the effect that Russia
Is massng troops on the borders of Az
ghanistan, preparatory to a descent
upon Herat may have substantial foun-
dalton. II Russia Is disposed 10 secure
some share of influence In the Indian
ocean. She can do so only by pushing
southwark through Afghanlstan and
Persia to the Persian gulf. 1t is high
ly probable that the Russian govern
ment is coz templatlng some such step.
Whether the time to carry It out has
come. Is an entirely different question.
Russia is wont to accomplish her pur-
poses by diplomacy rather than by
wars Of conquest.
II Is significant, though, that all over
the world, the bear and the lion meet
One can hardly move without arouslng
the Ire Of the other. No matter where
Great Britain goes in order to find room
for her millions. Russia appears to have
interests that have to considered
1t Is the same with Russia. She meets
British interests at every step. And
yet the TWO powers have continued to
expand over the face Of the earth, I'M
III there is but little room for others.
II Is peculiar situation facing the
twentieth century.
The British people evidently feel in
stinctiyely what is at stake at
present The news OF General
Whites successful resistance OF the
Boer attack on Ladysmlth has not acted
as oil on the troubled waters. The
masses demand vigorous war. and
a successfullyconducted campaign They
demand a vigorous government. Even
the conservative press is clamoring for
a change in the situation. That ali
this Is due to hYsterical excitement Is
not probable. The English people have
borne with patience reyerses Of their
generals and the loss OF many valuable
lives in long, tedious campaigns. as
sured ihat success would finally BE-
theirs. even II It took years OF costly
effort. But It Is different now. The
entire people have. seemingly, a premo-
milton that further reyerses would per-
haps be disastrous. The Transyaal
war is conflict not only with the two
pigmy republics, but with the mighty
