No more potentially horrid act was ever
committed in the name Of science than that
which San Francisco's Health Board has
performed in pursuance OF what 1t deems
it's duty. Rats spread the bubonio fever;
thus, records Of the migrationS OF the rat
become OF Importance; and to determine
with what speed and how far rats move
from one part Of the city to another the
Health Board has liberated a number OF
rats at different points, some dyed red. some
green, some blue. Their recapture will
determine what the board believes to be its

This year the Republicans are to meet
on June II and the Democrats on July T..
When Congress met it was the plan of
the Republican leaders to have a do
nothing session. and to their repressive
policy will be due the possibility Of so
early an adjournment. OF the apprO-
p~riation bills the urgent deficiency was
approved on February 10, the Indian and
the legislative, judicial and executive
bills are in conference, and with the eX-
ception Of those making provision for
general deficiencies, the Military Acad-
envy and the sundry civil expenditures
all the others are in the mil. In each Of
these measures there is possibility Of con-
t%ention, but with the Democrats in the
House suppressed and all the Senators
and Representatives anxious to get home
TO attend to their political affairs there
seems to be no reason why the pro-
gramme Of early adjournment should
not be carried out.

Campaign Fund Publicity.

Of the desirability Of publicity for cam.
paign fund contributions the managers
Of neither the Republican nor the Demo-
cratic party dare to make denial, and
yet they ingeniously find reasons for
preventing the enactment Of compulsory
national legislation on the subject. But
as legislation is entirely unnecessary to
bring about the fullest publicity Of re-
ceipts and expenditures their evasion
and shiftings only serve to expose their
complete insincerity,
II either party really desired 10 inform
the voters us to its financial affairs all
that would be necessary would be the
preparation of a daily balance sheet to
be distributed to the press as campaign
literature" is. II one party did this the
other would be obliged to follow its en-
ample. The newspapers and magazines
would be quick to print the essence and
important details Of these statements.
The result would be to spread before the
electors from day TO day all Of the facts.
To this plan itmay be objected by Repub-
licans that the Democrats would not tell
the truth, and by the Democrats that the
Republicans would falsify their accounts.
Ths objection would be easily overcome;
each national committee could appoint an
auditor for the other.
No one supposes that any such simple
and honest plan will receive a moments
consideration from either party. To
please those who want campaign fund
publicity a clamor is raised, each party
o~utshouting the other in enthusiastic
professions; between them they will
succeed in their purpose not to pass any
legislation and not to divulge the secrets
Of their treasures, Still, even the stu
pidest and most trusting advocate Of
publicity ought to be able TO see through
the game that is being played,

Begin by Rounding the Nails.
Instead of having them fat across the

made for another fortnight to cut down
