At special meeting of the San Fran
cisco Board of Health TO consider the
plague situation last Sunday night DR..
Kinpoun, Federal Quarantine Officer,
reported that all the animate at the
quarantine station at Angel Island
which were inoculated with virus from
the body of the Chinese who expired a
few days before, under suspicious cir
cumstances, had died, with the excep-
ton of the monkey, and it was in a
dying condition. An autopsy on the
rats and guinea pig shows that they
had developed symptoms of the genu-
inc bubonic plague. After discussing
the matter, the Board decided that the
Chinese who died at 1O01 Dupont St.,
had been afflicted with the plague.
Prompt measures were instituted to
prevent the spread of the disease.

The American Bankers Association,
representing a capital and undivided
profits amounting tos1 go, OOo, 600, and
aggregate deposits amounting to 81
800, 000, 900, has adopted the following
resolution: 1.-THE bankers of the United
States most earnestly recommend that
the Congress of the United States enact
a law to more firmly and unequivocally
establish the gold standard in this
country by providing that the gold
dollar, which under the law is the unit
Of value, shall be the standard and
measure of all values in the United
States; that all the obligations of the
government and all paper money, in
Gliding the circulating notes of the ma
tional banks, shall be redeemed in gold
coin, and that the legal tender notes of
the United States when paid into the
Treasury shall not be reissued except
upon the deposit of an equivalent
amount in gold conn., A bill has been
introduced in Congress to carry out
the resolution. Andrew Jackson once
said, in effect: "By God, sir, We shall
see whether the banks or the people
run this country" President Mckinley
can now say the same thing.

England has found out that the Ad-
fninistration in the United States is all
right, but fears that the popular clamor
may lead ii astray. What more evil
dence do the people want to become
satisfied that the Administration does
not represent the people?

As to the territories, the right of rep
resentation was practically admitted
by conceding the right to be admitted
into the Union when the population
was sufficient to fit them for the as
sumption of Statehood. Meanwhile,
both with reference to the District and
territories, all practical guarantees as
TO life, liberty and property were Sc
cured by the provision of the constitu-
ton relating to personal liberty, and
by the provision securing uniformity
as to indirect taxes and apportionment
as to direct taxes.
The powers of Congress then, as Gre
ated in the Constitution, must be
viewed from the light of the Declara-
ton of Independence and the princi-
pies for which the war of independence
was fought, and it is impossible to be-
lieve that any limitations put upon the
legislative power, otherwise despotic
in favor of individual rights, individ-
ual liberties, and individual lives, and
for the purpose of securing equality of
rights and uniformity of burdens, were
intended to be applied only to that
favored portion of the American peo-
pie residing in the States and to be de-
MED to that portion residing in the ter
ritories.
The character of the Revolutionary
fathers, the principles for which they
contended, and the history of the times
all prove that while their purpose was
to make the people of the States the
source of government, the Govern
ment itself was to be equal and Just
and to extend over the entire Ameri-
can people, whether living in States or
territories.
The contention that as to the States
Congress has limited powers in legisla-
ton, that as to the territories unlimit-
ed, arises from the fact that the acoui-
sition of the Philippines means the in.
corporation into our empire of peo-
pie untitled to share in the scheme of
government created by the Constitu.
ton. Hence the necessity of creating
an imperium in imperio.
The trainers of the Constitution had
only in view such expansion as was in
volved in the incorporation into our
Union of homogeneous peoples. Their
intention was to give them in their in.
FAINT condition as territories, all the
protection of the constitutional guar
antics, but a temporary government
was essential, and Congress was au-
thorized to exercise all the powers of a
municipal and State government by
the clause declaring that the Congress
shall have power to make all needfuI
rules and regulations respecting the
territory or other property belonging
to the United States. This provision
related entirely to local government.

A young lady visited my house the
other evening, and fear she will never
return. / was reading a paper, and
the conversation among the members
of my family and their fair visitor
turned upon snoring" My oldest
daughter said ''if you want to hear
anybody snore, you ought to sleep with
my sister," when my youngest boy
opened his mouth, and knew there
was trouble brewing; he said "Oh, geel

Ex-Governor J. w. Adams has es-
tablished an extensive plant on the
Carson river to prepare the extensive
deposits found at Mound House for
fertilizing purposes. The article is
highly spoken of, by those who pre-
tend to know. 1t is claimed for it that
it will positively destroy alkali, and so
enrich the soil as to largely increase
grain product. The poor soil of the
Carolinas were enriched in similar
manner, by the importation of certain
clays. The new fertilizer should be
given full and free test. because there
are millions in it for Nevada.
On the first Monday in March the
Assessor of Kern county caught about
$4,000 worth of rolling stock that be-
longed to foreign corporations and as
sessed the same in his county. About
100000 worth of such property es-
capes taxation in California every
year. This year the Attorney General
of the State called the attention of the
Assessors to that fact, and a few OF
them have paid attention to the matter
The Assessor of Sacramento county
paid no attention to it, and that fact
must have been known to the corpora.
tions in advance, because they moved
400 or 500 cars from Alameda county
to Sacramento county before assess
ment day. There is probably $1,000
worth of that class of property which
could be caught in Nevada, but it will
likely all escape, as usual.

A very interesting discussion has
been going on in the newspapers on
both sides of the Atlantic as to which
is the most venal and corrupt, the
American Congress or the British Par
lament: A Nevada critic would prob
ably dispose of the subject to the salts
faction Of his readers by saying ''there
is ID little difference between
Them However, distinctions are
drawn by the logicians and wordjug-
glers of the big dailies, the most in
genious Of which is as follows: 'sThe
American Congress is more corrupt
than the English Parliament, not be-
cause its legislation is any worse, but
because its class legislation is bribed
and purchased by those who have no
inherent class privileges above their
fellowmen. In other words, the cor
rupt legislation of Parliament is not as
bad as the corrupt legislation of Con-
gress because the class in whose behalf
such legislation is passed is inherently
entitled to class privileges which their
fellowmen are not entitled to. No at
tempt is made to deny that both law
making bodies are corrupt. 1t is con-
coded that the principal work of both
Is to pass laws for the special benefit of
the few as against the interest of the
many, but it is claimed that in England
a certain class is entitled to such laws,
while in America they obtain them by
purchase. The poor suckers" can
grin and bear it.

Wells That BLOW Air.

phenomenon known as the blowing
wells" The wells are continually fore,
ing great volumes of air upward or,
like some huge monster, are dragging
into the interior of the earth mo small
amount of the zephyrs as they come
and go. The operators who have ex,'
cavated great holes into the sand and
gravel. as well as the husbandmen
upon whose farms the wells are found,
seem to be mystifed, as to the causes
which surround this unusual freak of
nature. The blowing wells are so pc
culiar that sources Of, water supply
with such unusual characteristics are
not believed to exist elsewhere on
the continent: The matter, has created
