This five-foot vein, taken in con-

seem to definitely settle the ques-

prospect now points to the future de-

PILGRIMS FOR HEALTH.

Expert testimony Is that more than 1000 persons afflicted with tubercu- losis annually go from the East to die in California, Arizona, Jew Mexico, Texas and Colorado. Of these cases, at least 30 per cent are so far advanced as to be hopeless in any climate. More painful still Is the statement that at least 60 per cent of these hopeless health-seekers are too poor to buy the necessities of life. and face the alterna- tive of charity or starvation. There are painful tales of consumptives dying upon trains. The far west and south west are drained every year by these demands. Hence it is urged that con sumptives in the east remain at home for treatment, especially as 1t has been shown that the disease can be cured or averted with proper care in any part of the country.

INFLUENCE OF HAZlNG.

College hazing involves the mob spir- it. The boys or girls incite each other to deeds which as individuals they would not be guilty of President Thomas. of Bryn Mayer College, re- joices that the self-government asso- citation of students there has decided ito give up once and for all the silly and ungenerous practice of teasing. embarrassing. and hectoring the However slight this hectoring may younger an inexperienced students have been, it was uncivilized and bar barous." This characterization is masterly and of wide application. Haz- ing is both unmanly and unwomanly, and does not find it's root in the gen erous helpfulness that marks large natures. It is to Ire noted that some thirty hazers have been suspended at Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania In commencing upon that instance the Philadelphia Press notes that the bru- tality involved is akin to the move ment of mobs: Tn the mass it dares: as a unit it is an abject coward. The individuals of a hazing or lynching mob are mostly pitiable myrmidons. and the rest contemptible CUTS" This is severe, but not unjust.-Springfield Republican.

Dnscordsnt lrishmen.

American friends of home rule for
 Ireland regret to note the discord
 among Irishmen in this country which
 has been developed by the visit of
 MT. T. P. O'Connor to the United States for the purpose of raising funds for the Irish cause
 Mir. O'Connor is Ireland's most bril-
 liant representative in the British house of commons. Foreseeing that the controversy over the budget will
 result at an early day in the dissolu-
 eral election, the Irish members are
 preparing to make the best of the situation. They hope to have a strong Irish party in the new parliament. one that will be able to hold the bal ance of power. and force further con sessions to Ireland from the govern ment Members of parliament receive no salary, and the expenses of cleo ton are considerable. For generations it has been the custom for the Irish members to appeal to America for funds with which to conduct their parliamentary campaigns. and in truth most of the expense is always borne by Irishmen and IrsIand's friends in America.
 As always. there is division in the Irish ranks in parliament. John Red mond. with O'Connor as his chief lieutenant, is at the head of the larger faction. while O'Brien and Healey lead known as the Irish-American Progress sive society. numbering from 50.O0O to 75.OOO Irish-Americans. supports the O'Brien- Healey group. and is hos tile to Redmond and O'Connor. The chief objection to Redmond and O'COnnOr seems to be. that they are too closely hooked up. with the English liberal party. and are not sufficiently independent in their pro- gram.
 The Denver branch of the Irish American Progressive society adopted a few days ago strongly of Redmond and O'Con- nor, and strong intimations were given out that Mir O'Connor will not be welcome visitor at Denver. It is claimed that other branches of the society will take similar action, and large fund by MT. O'Connor is not

GOVERNMENT CATS.

Perhaps it is not generally known that the government employs a num- Der of cats in the public service, but it does. Just when the original cats were purchased, if they were purchas- ed, Is not known, nor is there any mention of a special appropriation having been made for that purpose. If only two were bought in the ,be- ginning, the tribe of government cats has increased considerably, for it is going to take about s150 to feed them during the year.
 There is much consolation in the thought that these cats have to be fed. It shows that they have per they would be able to make a good living simply catching the rats in the mail cars and postoffices. and should be very glad to have the privilege of doing so without any expense to the United States. It seems that the rat tribe has been entirely cleaned out and all a government pussy has to do now Is to sleep and dutifully eat what ever the cat chef decides it shall have for dinner It will be unfortunate for the country if any one of these cats happens to get hold of one of the Afri- can rats which Mir. Roosevelt has sent to this country with the purpose of having them eat all the other rats and then each other. An ordinary cat would certainly be jealous of such rat. and there would be trouble if a cat and such a rat met anywhere in any circumstances.-Cha News and Courier

passenger car ran over it. The de-
 lay in opening the line is not due to
 the railway company or anthing it
 could avoid, nor is it the fault of anybody. The company is merely up | against a condition and not a theory. and the facts only show again how mutually cooperative almost every thing in this valley is and has to be.
 The railroad extension is one and seven -eighths' miles long and when the project was undertaken Mir Nit chell agreed to have it in operation by January 1st. Actual construction was begun only a short time ago and MT. Mitchell planned to rush it through to completion as soon as pos sible. He finished it as far as the crossing of the GranG canal, when he was told, by the reclamation service that the ditch would be constantly in use for some weeks. perhaps for two months after the gates are opened in the tunnel at Roosevelt, an incident shortly to occur. The service could not at this time leave the canal dry long enough to put in foundations for concrete structure such as is de-
  ing this long canal run. nor would they permit temporary structure be- ing blocked up to interfere with the water runs. to all of which no excep- ton is taken.
 MT. Mitchell. however, not wishing to fall down on his construction con- tfact. did throw very temporary bridge across the ditch and hastily laid the track beyond with sufficient smoothness so car could follow it. and then all the materials necessary for completing the north end were rushed across the ditch so the work of lining up the track and finishing the roadway can proceed without in- reference The trolley wire was of course erected clear through and yes ;erday he ran a passenger car nearly to the end of the line. just to show say that he hal had a passenger car over it.
 The temporary bridge will now be taken out. and after the long canal run a permanent concrete structure. in keeping with the others over the grand canal. will be built and passen- ger service will be installed just as quickly as possibly. Only for this necessary interference the passenger service would have begun in few days more.
 The long canal run will be occa- stoned by the desire of the reclama- ton engineers to drain the Roosevelt reservoir down to a point below the 1 present low place in the dam so the | work If laying masonry may be pro- ceeded with just as soon as possible | after the tunnel is in commission | again. And while the water is going | down the river again it is pl1nned to | put just as much az possible of it on | the valley lands through the various which will probably all be full for a while. Water is too valuable in this region to be sent down the river | before it has performed its natural duty. whether people are crying for it or not The service plans to make the water work as we'll as the farm FITS

Mir. t.eney-s Mistake.

Commenting on the result of the San Francisco election. MT. Frank Heney expressed the opinion that the people of that city are deserving of pity. The majority of his country men will fail to agree with Mir. Heney. The people of any community always get the sort of government they deserve. By refusing to elect Frank Heney to be public prosecutor the citizens of San Francisco have declared that they do not wish to visit punishment upon the men who have pillaged the city. corrupted its servants and mocked at decency and honesty. By electing Mccarthy to be mayor-McCarthy. the chief apologist and champion of the Schmitz- Ruef regime of graft, the citizens of San ernment of graft is what they want, and what they deserve. And if Me Carthy and the horde of corruption ists who stand with him shall leave the people of San Francisco as so many plucked pigeons. they will get what they voted for.
 San Francisco has earned the con- tempt of the country, but has earned no pity. MT. Heney.
