great political obligations to his road
supervisor and contented himself with
giving him calling down.
The committee looked into the
matter of county Indebtedness at the
Eva stores during their trip last week,
finding that the county owes in back
bills something like four hundred dol
lars. According to the rules of the
road department these bills SHOULD
long ago have been presented for pay
ment, if regular, the idea of holding
them back being because in most cases
the expense incurred had been over
the appropriations and unjustified. It
is supposed that the road supervisor
had intended to run them all in this
as bills incurred during January.

ANOTHER ROBBERY
BY THE BANDITS
Roderigues and Lopez Leave a
Broad Traii-P0Iice on
Their Heels.

The police posse from Honolulu is
zstin upon the trail of the two escaped
Porto Rican jai1birds and the arrest
of the pair ought to be reported today
The trail the two desperados are leav-
ing is a broad one, robberies being
committed boldly by them as they
move across country. The latest re-
ported robbery was committed at Wal
alua on Friday night.
There the two entered the store and
house of F. Shumamoto. smashing in
the frail door and entering the bed
room where Shumamoto and his wife
were in bed. AT the point of their guns
they made the man got up and lead
them into his store. Here Lopez kept
the man covered while Roderigues
broke open the till. securing forty dol
lars which was in it. He also helped
himself to a box of cigars, four pairs
of shoes and some clothing. Then the
Jap was faced to the wall while the
robbers unlocked the shop door and
disappeared.

relieved the police, however. by ap-
.pearing in an excited state of mind a
few hours after the tots had been turn
ed over to the turnkey and reclaiming
them. These are the first lost children
that have appeared at the station
since Fatty" the trusty, dropped
dead. It was Fatty's special detail to
look after all the babies registered as
lost and the little ones seemed instinc-
lively to turn to him. Anyone watch
ing him soothing a frightened child
would not have thought that he was
serving a life sentence for murder.

the bids for sand and stone to be used
in fortifcation work at Pearl Harbor.
The lowest of the bids was that of

The authorities believe that Hogan's

When asked for a statement in re-
gard to the contract last night. Hogan
refused to make any answer, TO tell
who he was, or where he had come
from. It is learned, however, thar he
claims to have done large jobs in Bonn
bay and Hongkong, and to have been
employed in the work done by the
United States Engineer Corps in Ma

work he does not state what position
he held.
Under the Federal laws there is moth
ing whatever to prevent all the work
on such a contract being done by jap

who killed Cock Robin There ic a wide
difference of opinion as TO the RESPONSE
biIity for the tragedy.
The champions of free trade deny that
the tariff was largely responsible. 1t was
not revised, they claim. until the late
summer of 1s94-nearly eighteen months
after the panic had first manifested it.
self The panic. they assert. was ov that
time in full swing. How could the Cor
man. Wilson tariff bill have produced a
thing which antedated its own existence?
And then il is asserted that the Cleveland
administration inherited the panic Blame
is placed upon the Harrison administra-
ton.
1t weakens the case TO say that the
German Wilson bill produced the panic
of 1898 But there is a safe basis for the
charge that the success of Mr.. Cleveland
on a free-trade platform-which had been
interpreted on the stump as challenge
Of protection to the death--did so increase
troubles then existing that the panic fol-
lowed. The result of the election of No
vember, 1892. shook the business world
profoundly in the spring and summer OF
$685. and Immediately following the repeal
of the purchasing clause OF the sherman
act-which was intended to assure the
financial world. and which would lave
been quite impossible without republican
support-came the tackling by Congress OF
the tariff on a promise of deep cuts all
along the line: and that put the capstone
on the general distrust. The situation
was thus placed beyond relief by the
party then in power.
Maybe it would be more correct to say.
the party then in office. 1t had lost its
power for good through divisions. Tho
fight over silver had all but disrupted the
combination which had won at the polls
under Mr.. Cleveland's leadership. and the
fight over the tariff added to the embar-
rassment. And the situation remained
unrelieved until 1897. when the repub-
licans again took charge. In his disgust
helped the combination along without
seeing the drift of things, characterized
the movement of 1899 as bunco game.
with Mr.. Cleveland as steerer-in-chief.
The more that period is studied. the
palmer the fact appears that the return
of Mr. Cleveland to office at the head of
heterogeneous combination Of democrats
populists and disgruntled republicans was
the most stupendous blunder the Ameri-
can people ever committed at the polls.
Four years of unparalleled business de-
preston and losses followed, and directly
in the wake of that. and as a logical re-
suit came Organism. The Harrison adj
ministration had in the main been emf
nently successful, and had it been con-
tinued and supported by Congress of
the same stripe, all the difficulties Of the
day would have been smoothed out. With
no threat Of tariff revision on free trade
lines, and Gen Harrison thoroughly COM
mitted to sound money, affairs would
have righted themselves and we should
have had four years of confidence and
prosperity.

Stop the Boat Fights!

II is hardly to be conceived that the
Commissioners can find no means in the
law to put a stop to the disgraceful pro-
ceedings on board Potomac river
steamer in fragrant violation of the local
public sentiment against prize fighting.
Judging from all accounts the boxing
bouts on the steamer Jane Moseley are of
a character that would not be tolerated
within the District of Columbia. The law
against prize fighting is explicit and there
is also a law equally plain in Its terms
against leaving the District by previous
arrangement within its territory for the
purpose of evadins the law against duel
ing or challenging. II is possible that the
courts may consent to the application of
the anti-duelling law to such practices as
those now understood to be common on
the river.
The citizens OF Washington will look
to see the Commissioners move vigor-
ously and promptly against this game.
Whatever doubt there may be as to the
applicability of the laws should be rele-
gated to the courts for resolution. test
case is easily arranged and prosecuted.
If the participants in the river prize fight
can be held under the code the game will
be quickly stopped Ii this statute does
not apply the disorderly conduct Law
should be invoked. AS a last resort the
Commissioners may revoke the license of
the steamboat engaged in this enterprise
or may refuse it wharf privileges. 1t is
plain that there are numerous ways for
attacking this evil.
For many months a gambling den has
been maintained on an old barge moored
in the Potomac river below the city. The
proprietor has ingeniously confused the
legal issues by occasionally moving from
one anchorage TO another, thus shifting
about from the District to the Maryland
jurisdiction and again into Virginia wa
tiers. He has remained undisturbed, al
though a concerted rush by the authori-
ties of all three jurisdictions would long
ago have put him out of business But
the District has waited for Virginia and
for Maryland and those states have
waited for each other and for the Dis
trict and consequently nothing has been
done.
There is always n way to reach an IL
legal practice il the authorities are de-
termined to suppress 1t. Nothing will
ever he accomplished as long as doubts
as to the applicability of this statute or
of that are permitted to defer action.
Lawbreakers thrive upon just this atti-
tude on the part of the authorities of
states and cities, and law biding people
have little patience with official tender
ness for the possible legal and equitable
rights of men who are fiagrantly violat-
ing the rules of common morality.

MI. Cannon.

IL is not surprising to hear that the op-
ponents of Mr. Cannon have overshot the
mark, and that another republican triumph
in the eighteenth Illinois district Is likely.
Eastern readers acquainted with the
Speaker have been unable to digest much
of the news laid before them from MS
baiIiWick. How such a man could have
become the object of such attacks has
puzzled them. They have not regarded him
AS fauitless by any means. They KNOW
him for a plain. downright. unconventional
man. clear of head and stout OF heart,
brusuue at times and believer In snort
cuts but never a car, or consplrator
against popular rights. His course in the
chair has impressed them as being that OF
- man inclined to do right and with en-
ceIlent capacity for appraising the right
They have marveled therefore, at the Ell
forts to disparage him both as an official
and as man.
AS The Star some weeks ago pointed
out, Mr.. Cannon as Speaker has acted by
the authority and with the approval OF
his party. The rules he has administered
arc of republican origin, and have Twice
been indorsed by the democratic party.
While. Judge Crisp was in the chair he
found them exactly to his taste. and con-
Hurted the business of the House under
them with great relish. And IT is safe
bet at a hundred to one. that il the dem
o,.ra1s control the next House the existing
rules will not in any material sense be
modified Authority is absolutely neces-
sary in directing the affairs of so large
body. and experienced democrats appre-
cia;e the fact as much as experienced re-
puhlicanS.
y car in the House chair is not possible
under the present rules. The man who
yields the gavel is never more than the
servant of the House. He follows a chart
which the House has adopted, and if he
departs from il in any oppressive way
those who have conferred authority upon
Linn can rebuke him and withdraw it, The
majority party In the House is always
The Houses master. 1t can change the
rules at any time. and in a grave situation
justifying the act depose Speaker.
The man Cannon described by his more
rabid opponents in this campaign Is not
known here. The man who is known
here might safely rest his reply upon
his standing with the leaders Of the
democratic party with whom when Con-
sress is in session he is in daily commun-
ion. They are not his enemies. but his
friends. They admire him. and have
often testified to that feeling. Mr.. Will
liams of Mississippi. or Mr.. Clark Of Mis-
souri, or Mr.. James of Kentucky or Mr.
Livingston of Georgia. might go into Mr.
Cannon's district and speak against his
reelection, but not on the ground that
as man he is unworthy of his place.
Their personal relations with him are
cordial. and they consider him both
strong and a fair fighter.
This veteran OF thirty years in the con-
sressionai field has done many good
things for his party and for the country.
Undoubtedly he has made some mistakes
But who has not? Taking his service by
and large, he is entitled to the eminence
and influence he has attained in public
affairs.

A Travelling tuberculosis Exhibit

Arrangements have been made for
the transfer to New York city of the
exhibits recently displayed at the Ma
tional Museum as a means of conduct
ing the campaign of education against
tuberculosis in that city. The consent
of the foreign exhibitors has been OBJ
tanned. and it is expected that as a re-
suit of this enterprise at least 4 mil
lion people will view the models and
specimens and photographs constituting
The great graphic argument proving
that consumption is communicable
and preventable. This enterprise sug-
Sests the advisability of carrying the
exhibit. if possible. into all of the cities
of this country. The closely built cen
tiers of population are in most serious
need of the demonstration that disease
results in large part from unclean liv-
ing and that sanitation stands for
health
There is far less need in this country
of the 'uplift of tho farmer than of
the rescue of the city dwellsr from
the evils which have developed from his
environment and from the tendency to
congest the population. Practically
every city in the United States is now
at work through some agency to solve
the problems Of concentration. There
are tenement house commissions and
neishborhood Improvement societies
and civic leagues and all sorts of
charity associations. all working to the
same end of persuading the poor that
they are endangering their own lives
by their insanitary methods of living,
and at the same time compelling the
owners of property to erect better
buildings and to maintain higher
state of repair in the dwellings of the
poor.
The great lesson to be learned in the
large cities by the poorer classes is that
cleanliness is not mere estheticism, but
is a measure of Misrepresentation. The
anti-tuberculosis propaganda aims at
this point of persuasion. In the degree
that the poor of large city can be Con-
WINGED that they have a better cha hce
for life and health and prosperity if
they observe certain laws of sanitation.
the mortality percentages will fall. The
great reform must come from within.
Ere. dispensaries and hospitals will
ameliorate the evil to some extent but
until the people themselves are persuaded
Of the dangers OF unclean living there
will be no true solution of the problem.

Women and Weather.
From the Chicago Evening Post

No truth could be more sef-evident, we
believe, than that woman does not get 4
square meteorological deal in this world.
Her sufferings when man carries the UNI
brella in shower may be gagged only
by the cost and becomingness of her new
hat, on which the raindrops drip with a
sad and expensive splash. Invariably
Easter is too cold for her new spring raj
ment and lingering autumn too warm for
her furs. Bravely does she strive to defy
the seasons and their attendant elements
by meeting low temperatures with low
shoes. and she matches the upward soar
ing of the mercury with collars that at
tain their highest altitude in awful Au-
gust. But the cost. No man. we are
sure, could realize what woman suffers
in and for her clothes.
