mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ

Dnnples and Joy have gone,

and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is

Vandalism in California.

ering that this is the only grove OF its

vious inference from this startling piece
Of news is that such destruction ought
not to be allowed. There are only
two ways by which the destruction
of the trees can be prevented; one
is by paying the intending destroyer the
full value of his trees; the other is by get

New York,s Lobbyist Candidate.

We cannot be brought TO believe that the
citizenship OF New York, made up as it is
of representatives of the best manhood in
America. will endorse at the polls in No
vember the Republican machine selection
for Governor. The public morality of that
State certainly has not sunk to the level
from which so low a view Of high public
station is taken as that expressed the
other day by Benjamin B. odell in signi-
flying his willingness to accept the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor.
1T looks as though l were up against it
at last" is the language in which odell
conveyed to the public his resignation TO
the inevitable course Of events in his par
ty. The governorship Of New York is an
office which has been sought by some of
the most capable and patriotic men in the
United States. Almost without exception
it has been held by men OF high character
and attainment. Its opportunities for the
performance of duty which shows the pos
session of capacity for large affairs have
enabled its incumbent more than once to
so impress his ability and frustworthiness
upon the national judgment as to cause a
demand for his elevation to the Presidency.
When. therefore. the obvious choice Of a
great party for Governor Of New York sig
nifies his Willingness to accept the place
by the declaration that lit looks as though
/ we're up against it at last" plainly there
is indicated a startling degeneracy either
in the party TO which he belongs or in the
whole community of men Of which he is a
part.
In a sense ii is creditable to odell not
to desire the office, though from his rec
ord IL cannot be claimed that his indispO-
sition TO strive for it is due TO any qualms
of conscience. odelI is a professional lob
byist Of many years experience. He re-
signed a seat in Congress in order to de-
vote all of his attention and energies TO
the service of special interests which
thrive on governmental favoritism, State,
municipal, and national He is now and
has been ever since he resigned from Con-
gress the paid agent at Albany Of the po-
liticaI machine which has been built up by
the genius of Thomas Collier Platt, a
United States Senator and one Of the props
and mainstays OF the Republican party.
odell's reason for Directing to be made
Governor Of New York is based wholly
upon the certainty that while serving In
that capacity he viii be compelled by the
force OF public opinion to sever his con-
nection with the lobby and thereby lose
rich .tecz aq promoter Of Legislation"
which he feels justified in accepting as a
private citizen.
In this aspect of the case It is shown
that II he is elected Governor he will make
an actual sacrifice in dollars and cents
unless. OF course, it should develop that
he belongs 10 that rarest and most con-
temptible of all American public officials,
the wretched creature who accepts brides
for official fayors. But odells most IN

reasoning critic does not believe him ca
Fable OF that form of turpitude. How
ever, it cannot be denied that in every
important rcontest between his party's
machine and the public interests he
would lean as, Governor to the machine"
This is what his selection by Plat means.
Firmly believing as we do that the pub
lie morals Of New York are of quite as
high standard as the public morals of
other sections Of the country. we feel safe
in predicting the defeat. of the Republican
ticket in that State in November if. as
row seems absolutely assured. B. B. Odell
is nominated for Governor. And by the
same token it is safe to predict the cleo
ton Of almost any Democrat whose public
and private record is clean. though. OF
course, the nomination of a man of the
stature and stamina of the Hon Bird s
Coler would make assurance doubly sure
for the Democrats.

SUBMARINE COAL FIELDS.
Another Effort to BE Made to solve
a Maine Mystery.

BATH. Me-. Aug. 23.-If all traditions
are true there lies somewhere off Small
Point a large deposit of coal more oily and
of greater value than any soft coal dis
covered. All of the old settlers in that
region say. and traditions support the as
sertions. that large quantities of the coal
have been washed up on the beach after
every severe storm, and that it has been
gathered and used as fuel,
The fact that SO much Of it came ashore
led Bath and Portland capitalists to take
an interest in the matter and a company
was formed to search for it Some of he
company believed it good policy to hire a
diver, while others believed it would be
better to drill into ledge at Cape Small
Point. A drill was accordingly sent down
several hundred feet, and it passed
through, SO it is said, thin stratum of
coal. diamond drill was then sent
down more than one thousand feet. with
no encouraging results, ard the COM
pany had expended about s25.0 COO. 1t was
then deemed best to abandon the project.
Some persons assert that the coal which
comes ashore is from some schooner which
was wrecked close by. The answer 10
that is that coal has been coming ashore
at Small Point more than one hundred
years. that the first cargo brought to that
stCtion vi tne WORTH was IN 1888, anu that
the coal is of a different grade from that
mined anywhere else, and that when it
comes ashore 1t shows that 1t has been re-
Gently broken off Believing there may be
something in that" the company has made
arrangements with one of the best-known
divers in this section of the United States.
He will come here early in September With
an electric lighting device and hydraulic
pumps for removing sand.
Should coal be found in paying quanti-
ties tunnel will probably be cut from tee
shore, as in the case of the mines when
lie three miles eff the coast Of Chile.
