Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house.
Not creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with a start and
a shake,
And wondered why papa
Was SO wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to Shout
"Oh, why did we makecsuch a fearful
mistake"
"Oh, John dear, I fear that
My poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you'll call
Bath, the plumber, and have him
Go over it all.
And then no more leaks,
For we know that tits true,
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do"

TIE PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

The adoption of a set of resolutions in regard
to the presence of the bubonic plague in Cali
fornia by representatives Of State boards OF
health in other commonwealths was a rather
unusual proceeding. Such action taken at
a conference in Washington last week, and II
raises several interesting questions of propriety
and of fact No direct authority exists for an
attempt TO control the policy of California In
what she may regard as purely local matter.
A number of people from the East visit that
State for health pleasure and business, and re-
turn home after longer or shorter stay on the
Pacific Coast This fact suggests the possibility
that a quarantine against California might
some time be deemed necessary. The chance Is
small, perhaps, because the bubonic plague is
a filth disease; its victims in San Francisco
have been Cinnamon mostly, and comparatively
few representatives of that nationality are
likely to travel across the continent. As for
white visitors to the Pacific. there is great
prospect that they will bring the disorder away
with them.
Nevertheless medical men ali over the coun-
try who have followed the history Of the plague
In San Francisco for the last few years expert
ence some uneasiness when they regard the
situation there. a controversy that was excep-
tional in point of earnestness arose there both
as to the character and extent Of the disease
when il was first observed. That dispute has
had few recent parallels in other cities and
countries. There can be little doubt now,
though, that there were twenty-five cases of
genuine plague in San Francisco in 1900, twen-
ty-nine in 1901 and forty y-nine in 1902. Vigorous
as have been the measures to suppress II, and
limited as has been its havoc, these figures seem
TO indicate that the evil has not been entirely
eradicated. Enough germs are left in the dwell
ings or resorts of few Cinnamon. apparently,
TO insure its continuance, and perhaps a more
formidable development than has hitherto been
witnessed at the Golden Gate Nor is it calcu-
lated 10 allay uneasiness to observe the foot
hold which the plague has how secured at
Mazatlan, on the Mexican coast, not many hun
dred miles south of San Francisco. Whether
Mexico was infected from the United States or
not she is a source of danger since there is
direct commercial Intercourse with her ports by
steamship
Both the municipal authorities in San Fran
cisco and the United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice attacked the plague with vigOr when 1t first
made its appearance three years ago; but the
State Board of Health, backed by the Governor
sought TO restrict their activity. For such inter
ference there were two pretexts. 1t was feared

can title to the unbroken strip or mainland
coast was not only unchallengeo, but was re-
peatedly and frequently acknowledged ana con-
frmed bv Great Britain. That 1t should now De
challenged is extraordinary That il should DE
submitted TO arbitration in which one party
would have all to lose and nothing to gain and
the other all TO gain and nothing TO lose was an
altogether intolerable proposition. Secretary
Hay did well in rejecting 1t, and the BRUSH
Government does well in abandoning that prod
uct of Canadian umptiousness-which we must
believe the mother country took up reluctantly
and in agreeing to an arrangement which, IL
it is as effective as its authors seem confidently
to expect it to be, will result in the final re-
confirmation of the settlement of 1895. and IN

PRIMARY REFORM N NEW-JERsEY.

One of the most important subjects to come
before 4ha nresent session of the New-Jersey
legislature is that of primary reform Th1s Is
q ouestion in which Governor Murphy has
takan deem interest On his suggestion a
commission was appointed last year 10 Iooh
into the whole matter and the commission 10
now about ready to report bill proVldlng that
the primaries shall be conducted by the regular
elaction officers. That measure will not suit
some of the practical politicians, but public SEN
timent in New-Jersey is undoubtedly most en-
pbatically in favor of it. There have been, even
in recent years. some very striking illustrations
of the need for a change. In the Governors
home county Essex the Democratic factions
made the primaries absolutely farcical the last
time that they came together Violence, ballot
box stufing and fraud OF all kinds were so COM
mon especially in Newark. that their absence
at some of the polling places provoked Wonoer-
ing comment. OF course, the rascals respoh-
sible for the outrages ought to be IN jan, Out
they are not. They are doing business at the
old stand and it is an impossible task to con-
vince them that the legislature has any right
to interfere with their family ructions; and
the Republicans Of Camden County dldn
appear in any better light when they got into
a quarrel last summer over the renom1natlon or
CONGRESSMAN Loudenslager. The rufianism ex-
hiblted then, prlnupdIly D9 uLIeu thugs hIoA'
Philadelphia, disgusted and angered all decent
citizens.
The demand for a change comes from the
reputable men of all parties. They insist that
the primaries shall be conducted in quiet,
orderly and lawful way, and that the nomina-
tions shall be made in such manner Is to rep
resent fairly the voice of the respective parties,
instead, of being simply the choice of the person
or persons in control Of the party machinery.
The measure now being drafted is expected to
accomplish these objects. but it goes without
saving that it will not travel an easy and un-
obstructed road. Certain politicians on both
sides are getting their knives ready, and it be-
hooves the voters TO keep in touch with the
situation and help to hold up the Governors
hands in his battle for pUrer politics.
New-York tribune., 1903-01-26
MONEY AND BUSINESS

The nearest approach TO a feature in the stock
market during the last week was the esta blish-
ment of new low records for the year as to daily
volume of transactions. There was time not
so many years ago, when 100000 shares in
day was considered remarkably large, but con-
dtions have changed, and the weeks business
was about 80 per cent less than the correspond
ing week Of 1901 while the loss is still greater
compared with 1899 The average of prices is
very much higher, yet the actual value OF
transactions is lighter now. because the great
est activity is in the cheaper issues, while many
of the high priced stocks that were leaders of
the market a few years ago have passed into
the strong boxes OF investors become alb
sorbed by new syndcates Were prices not al
ready very high, there would be occasion for
strength in the inability Of the railways to
handle the business offered, and money market
conditions are favorable for large operations on
margins; but there is growing impression that
prosperity has been fairly discounted, yet there
is equal confidence In the permanence of reg
ular dividends, which prevents any aggressive
work for a reaction. Briefly stated security
prices are high, and with good reason. but there
Is some hesitation regarding the adVisability
OF any further considerable advance

that commerce might suffer II sensational stories
became current. The measures which were con-
templated by the local authorities, though not
more thorough or severe than have been adopted
in Bombay and many other plague centres, were
deemed unnecessary by the State authorities.
Furthermore it has been suggested that quiet
but powerful influence was exerted by the Six
Companies which look after Chinese interests
in San Francisco These latter, not being alto
gether unprejudiced may be excluded from
any strictly logical survey of the case Inc
continuance of the plague is naturally regarded
by the municipal Board Of Health and Marine
Hospital Service as a vindication of their policy
Finally It Is worth considering whether more
harm would not be done to business by wide
spread suspicion that the truth had been sup
pressed than if the real situation were fully re-
vealed. Possibly there may have been errors
of Judgment and lack of tact on both sides OF
the controversy, which has now abated All
any rate the retirement of Governor Gage ana
the choice of physician as his successor open
the way for fresh consideration of the whole
question, and perhaps to more aggressive
treatment of the plague itself.

RACING HERE AND ABROAD.

Only two racehorses bearing the colors OF
American stables ever won the "blue ribbon or
the turf" the Derby at EPSON. These were
Pierre Lorilard's IrOquOis, born and bred IN
America and William c. Whitney's leased colt
VolodyovSki with nothing American about him
in birth or breeding or any other way, except
that his running qualities had been rented by
q New-Yorker. Volodyovski was never in this
country at all. After his triumph at EPSON
Iroquois won the st. James Palace Stakes ana
the world famous ST. Leger. But he fell sick
in the same autumn in which he achieved his
Doncaster victory, and his later career was not
especially illustrious VolOdyovski was even
unluckier He was not genuine champion Of
the type of the truly great Derby conquerors,
and was inferior in class to Iroquois, who,
however was not of the stamp and type and
might of a Gladiateur an Isinglass, an Or
monde, or a Flying Fox.
In the season in which Iroquois was success
full in the Derby and the st. Leger, undoubt-
edly the greatest three-year-old racer in train
ing in any part of the world was James K.
Keenes colt Foxhall. born and bred in America.
son of King Alfonso and Jamaica Foxhall
and Iroquois never met, as Mr.. Keenes won
derful runner not eligible to go to the post
in the Derby or st. Leger. But FOxhall won
the Grand Prize in Paris that year and gained
imperishable renOWn upon the turf by captur-
ing the double crown of the celebrated handi-
caps the Cesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire
carrying in the latter contest the staggering
weight of 1876 pounds when he was still only
three years old.
Many New World colts and FLIES and geldings
of high class have been sent abroad. Mr.
Keene, most popular. liberal, influential and
enterprising Of American supporters of the
tered a great deal of i'll fortune in his racing
expeditions over sea. But some of his horses
have run brilliantly in the Old World, notably
FoxhalI while his beautiful filly Cap and Bells
romped off with the Oaks in 1901. The Oaks
is the most coveted and renowned race in the
world for fillies and Mr.. Keene is the only
American who ever captured it. After that
victory he distributed the entire amount Of the
stakes among deserving charities.
Last season Mr.. Keene's stable on the other
side suffered from an almost unbroken series
of mishaps, but, nothing daunted, he has sent
over several colts and fllies which well in
the United States in 1902, and with that re-
markably successful American trainer Matthew
Allen to handle them and the skilful American
jockey Lyme TO ride them they ought to carry
off fair share of honors. 1t is the hope of
loyal votaries of the choicest sport that the
Keene colors will be seen in front on many
occasions.
Volodyovski's racing days are over, but Mr.
Whitney will be represented in Great Britain
by number of horses, while William K. Van
derbilt will keep up big establishment on the
French turf. a troop of American jockeys will
ride in England and on/the European Cont
nent, but comparatively few American horses
will be seen abroad except those owned by the
Keenes, father and son, by Mr.. Whitney and
by Mr. Vanderbilt.
