PLAGUE At ITS DOORS

scriptiOn of Horrors of Pest Sent
by American Consul at Canton.
Stealing of Collins by Coolies.
One Of the perplexlng problems for
the American authorities at Manila for
years to come will be the prevention
OF the spread Of pestilence, says O spe-
cial dispatch from Washington to the
Chicago Evening Post. Standing at
the open door Of China, the plague
center of the orient, with communica-
ton by all kinds Of small craft, the in
PRODUCTION of cholera and bubonic
plague in the Philippines cannot be
prevented. The most that can be ey-
pected of the rigorous methods en-
archipelago Is that they will keep
down the ravages Of these dread dis
eases.

great port, but while they are en-
plOying every appliance known to sci
ence to prevent the spread of plague
and cholera Canton, Fatshan, Honam,
Kit Yang and other populous cities of
Kwangtung province are reeking storm
centers of infection. The Chinese au-
thorities are apathetic, and even If
they tried they would be unable to
enforce even the simplest rules of
health.
Recent reports by Consul Robert NJ.
McWade of Canton give graphic de-
tails of the frightful condition of af.
fairs. The Chinese, with fatalistlc un.
concern, pursue their daily vocations in
the midst of dying and dead and even
invent, with characteristic shrewd
ness, means Of profiting from the pes
thence that surrounds them. Theil
wits are trained to circumvent all
health regulations. They drink poison
GUS water, eat infected food, breathe
germ laden air and when overtaker
die with stocism worthy of a better
} cause.

Each Mans Duty.

Now that the different nominations
have been made, the conventions dis
persed, and the campaign well under
way, it behooves every man to stop and
think what is his duty as citizen. The
ballot is a trust contded to each individ-
ual to use for the public good and not
for any advancement of self interest.
Each one should employ it to help sus-
tain the party which exemplities the
principles he believes to be those which
will best promote the prosperity OF the
state. In making his selection he must
also consider the method of working and
the qualifications of the men placed in
nomination as the representatives OF the
different parties. At the present time,
they whose Judgment and feeling incline
them towards the republican ticket
headed by Mccullough can find all their
questions in these directions answered
in so satisfactory manner that they
can conscientiously devote every energy
to its triumph next month. In the plat
form there is no hedging, no concealed
issues, but everything which the party
pledges itself to is openly stated, that no
mistake can be made. And through ii
all is such a ring of earnestness and sin
cerity, that none can doubt what will be
demanded of those who may be elected
to carry out its pledges. No one can
hesitate in voting the straight republican
ticket because of the character of the
candidates. They are all honorable men,
The duty of every republican has nc
drawback of doubt as to the men he
is to support for the chief offices in the
gift of the state. These things being
true, it is hard to see how anyone wht
has ever, in the past, voted with the re
publican party, can reconcile 1t with hi
conscience now to join any other issue
whatever. What it is right for them t.
do, there is no manner of doubt.

that respect. 1t denounces as corrupt
and degrading the use of money in the
preliminary canvass. 1t calls for the re
peal of the prohibitory law and the en-
actment of high license, local option
statute in its place. 1t denounces as un
republican, undemocratic and unfair thu
methods of electing representatives ant
calls for their election by vote accord
ing to population. 1t ahirms that TIT
resolution of the republican state con
vention favoring a referendum of tn
liquor question is simply a pretence. |
pledges the party to support fair Ii
cense, local option law and if passed b
the Legislature opposes any referendum
of such law to the voters of the state
1t denounces the extravaganza of the re
; publican party. 1t is opposed to tn
work of the cattle commissioners and t
the present method of taxing ralroa
property. 1t favors the passage of la
giving women right to vote on a
d questions pertaining to taxing propert
y of which such women are the owner
e The platform also declares in favor {

The result of the discussion now pend

The result of the discussion now pend
ing in favor of something different to
our present prohibitory law bids fair to
be productive of good results. We do
not believe that the province of the state
extends to direct or indirect prohibition
of the proper use of natural products or
commodities of general consumption not
of poisonous or necessarily hurtful
character to people of full age. We be-
lieve that in country like ours, when
the law undertakes to treat full grown
persons, in the possession of their reason,
as if they were idiots, the law is always
evaded or defied SO as to work vastly
more mischief than good, deteriorate the
morals of the community and impair its
respect for the law. We have no need
to go beyond the borders of Island Pond
to substantiate this.

Don't talk Mccullough or Clement in
a loud tone of voice in public places.
Don't get red and apoplectic over the
virtues OF your own candidate or the
failings of either of those opposed to
your candidate.
Don't abuse your opponent when you
get discussing politics with him.
Don't fight him-particularly if he
looks able to lick you.
Don't bet. Give your wife the money
you think you can afford for wagers
and then you will be sure not to lose it.

of Milwaukee is without a comptroller,
and, according to some of the high Off

at a standstill. The office of comptroller
was rendered vacant by the commitment

last.

been made in the city charter for sucn

the appointment.
City Clerk E. NJ. Schuengel says he will
not pay out a cent over his counter
without an order being signed by the
comptroller, and many items will thus
be hung up, temporarily at least
Late tonight Mayor Rose announced
he would appoint George II. Chafe to
the Office of city comptroller. His name
will be presented tomorrow at a special
meeting Of the council. The question of
legality viii come up for consideration
after the appointment has been acted
on by the council.

Well posted attorneys here predict thar
the action will fail, for it is a well known
principle of law that an injunction will

vent the commission of a misdemeanor

that the court will decline to interfere
