Pogano made the mistake last night
OF standing between the window
and a light. 1t was fatal. Under
cover OF the intermittent reports
of cannon crackers and revolvers
in celebration of the American In
dependence day, an unknown en-
eny drew a bead on him with a
rife from a vacant nat across the
court. The crack OF the rife at
rracted no attention, but Pogano
fell to the floor with a heavy
crash that frightened his wife and
daughters. They ran In from the
next room and found him lying on
his face. Upon turning him over
they found that he had been shot
through the heart.

the nucleus Of what was to become the
srandest and most powerful nation on
earth.
Il IS not necessary to enumerate or
give a bill of particulars. From all
quarters of the globe immigrants have
been pouring into the United States
seeking homes, health and happiness.
Once here, they are animated by the
same high purpose which enabled the
old conttnentals to throw of the foreign
yoke and enter with spirit into the an
nual outburst Of patriotism so distinct
lively characteristic Of all true Ameri-
cans.
This year the Fourth Of July falls
upon the Sabbath day, and all over the
land the sermons Of the Aastors will be
built upon patriotism, and lessons will
be drawn from the struggles encoun-
tered in founding the new nation which
finally ended in the freedom of every
citizen to worship God according to the
dictates Of his own conscience. All this
is we'll and may the words sink home.
John Adams predicted that coming
generations would celebrate the Fourth
Of July by the ringing of bells firing of
cannon, sports and games, parades and
the gathering Of the people to listen to
patriotic orauOns. The prediction has
been more than fulfilled. The Fourth,
falling upon Sunday, makes necessary
the celebration Of the occasion on the
following day, and on Monday we shall
witness men. women and children born
under many different flags in many diff
terent chimes over the ocean gathering
TO pay tribute to the founders of the re-
public, and to declare their fealty to the
land Of the free. The native born Amer
leans viii join hands with their adopted
brethren and make the welkin ring,
while their hearts swell with pride upon
the glory achieved by their ancestors.
Let the eagle scream.

THE WARFARE ON FLIES.

In another column Of this mornings
issue Of The Herald there is published
an extract from a paper by DR.. Robert
Newstead in the Annals of Tropical
Medicine and Parasitology' Of the Liv-
erpool School of Tropical Medicine. with
respect to the common house fly as a
carrier of disease germs and a menace
to the public health.
Dr. Newstead puts the matter plainly.
1t is a matter about which words ought
not to be minced; il is a matter for too
important for that.
Now is fly time. Everyone has OBJ
served the rapidity with which the flies
have increased in numbers. They will
continue to increase if their propaga-
ton is left unchecked. As the days go
on the fly will multiply until there will
be sT us. and each individual Of every
color carries on his body typhoid
germs, the germs of tuberculosis. the
germs of dysentery and other intes-
final diseases.
1t is time for the people to come to a
realization Of the gravity of the situa-
ton. 1t is time for them to become
educated" The sooner they do it, the
fewer lives will be called in the sacri-
flee, the smaller will be the doctors
bill and the hospital bills

DEADLY TOY PISTOLS.

The discharge of a toy pistol brought
a young mother to an early grave at
Kansas City on Friday. Her little son
had used the pistol until it became
clogged and brought it to mother. who
attempted to clean it. The pistol was
discharged, a bit of paper wadding en-
tered her left hand, lockjaw followed
and death in one of its most horrible
forms ensued. The incident carries its
own impressive warning. Children
should not be allowed TO purchase these
instruments Of death. Moreover. it is
against the law to sell them in the state
Of Utah. 1t Will be useless to lament
the sudden taking off of a loved one
after the trip to the cemetery. Such &C.
currences as the one noted above can be
prevented by the exercise of a little
common sense on the part of parents
AS to the individuals who offer toy pis-
tolls for sale. a charge Of manslaughter
or murder would lie against them in
case of accident. Why take the awful
risk?

TRIAL OF ABDUL HAMID.

Abdul Hamid, deposed sultan of Tur-
key, is to be placed on trial before the
high court Of justice for his part in the
revolt Of April 13 last If Abdul comes
through the trial with his head upon his
shoulders the world at large will be
greatly surprised. Yet it was only
short time ago when he was at the head
Of the Ottoman empire and occupied
the proudest position in the Mohamme-
dan church. Events have been moving
rapidly in Constantinople of late, and
the old order Of things is destined to
pass away. First and foremost, Abdul
Hamid is to pay the penalty Of his
many and awful crimes. Then the work
Of regeneration will be pushed in
earnest.
In strange contrast to the. present
plight of the former sultan is the fol-
lowing description of that Individual
printed in a Turkish newspaper not very
long ago:
THE finest pearl of the age and the
esteemed center Of the universe, at
whose portals stand the camels of JUS
tice and mercy, and TO whom the eyes of
the kings and people in the west have
been drawn. The rulers there finding
an example Of political prowess and the
classes a model of mercy and kindness;
our lord and master, the sultan of two
shores and the high king of the two
seas, the crown Of ages and the pride
Of all countries, the greatest Of all kha-
Ifs, the shadow Of God on earth, the
successor Of the apostle of the lord of
the universe, the victorious conaueror
(Al-GhazD Sultan Abdul Hamid Khan"
Evidently that view of the deposed
monarch is no longer held. Only few
months ago he ruled and reigned over
Islam. Today none so poor as to do
him reverence"

HTYPHOID MARY"

Mary MallOn, a cook, was produced
before the supreme court of New York
the other day on a writ Of habeas cor
pus. Mary has been in quarantine on
North Brother island for the past two
years without having been committed
by any court, and seeks to regain her
liberty. The health department opposed
the woman's application on the ground
that she had become a menace to every
person with whom she came in contact.
as, while herself immune, she had the
power of communicating typhoid fever
to others.
This Is remarkable case, but it is
said there are two score persons in this
country who are similarly afflicted, and
are known as typhoid bacilH carriers.
The case Of this particular woman.
however, is the most remarkable of all.
and every effort has been made to cure
her, without avail It is beyond the
comprehension Of laymen how she can
exude typhoid bacilH and at the same
time be immune from the disease. Per
haps there are many others possessing
this strange malady, in which event
numerous epidemics can be explained.

THE CORPORATION TAX.

The income tax amendment to the
tariff bill has been killed by the Nelson
w. Aldrich corporation tax proposition.
All that remains to be done is to put
the latter measure to sleep and the Re
publican leaders will have accomplished
their purpose. 1t is perhaps idle at this
time to speculate on what's going to
happen to this child conceived in des-
peration, ever after much travail dur
ing a political emergency, disowned by
its putative parent and destined to fill
an early grave. 1t may fail to run the
gantlet in the house, OF the conferees
may agree to strangle it. If it finally
passes both houses and the tariff law is
signed by the president, it will have to
bump up against the supreme court.
In any event, its life Will be but a span.
It is apparent that the present ex-
orbitant tariff rates are not going to be
reduced, and it is possible the corpora
ton tax amendment will be tackled on
in order to give the coming golf cham
piOn an excuse for signing that iniQui-
tous measure. Strange things happen
sometimes when the Republican party
is pledged to do a thing its leaders do
not want done. Revision downward
is case in point. When the Demo-
Gratis proposed the corporation tax a
dozen years ago, the Republicans were
unanimously against it; Henry Cabot
Lodge, the human icicle from the shores
Of Massachusetts bay, made a vehement
speech in opposition, and yelps and
barks were heard all over the land.
Now the same tax is brought forward
as a Republican measure and pushed
through the senate, the same Henry Ca
bot Lodge being one of its most active
supporters. Consistency is no longer a
jewel in the Republican textbook.
But money must be raised to make
good the treasury deficit. The tariff bill
is not a revenue producing measure, and
it is absolutely necessary to make pro-
vision for the future. The plan Of SEN
ator Aldrich is to let the corporation tax
run a couple of years and then repeal
it. The secretary of the treasury is fig
uring on an issue of Panama canal
bonds or 8 per cent treasury certificates.
Others insist that the expenses. Of the
government must be reduced All of
which brings the fact into prominence
that the Republican party is not com
petent to handle the finances Of the re-
public So Ions as there is money in
the treasury 10 appropriate the Repub-
ican leaders, bursting with patriotism
and love for the old flag, make a fine
showing; so long as the crops are good
they stand on the housetops and pro-
claim TO the world that prosperity is
due TO their unaided efforts, that Divine
Providence had nothing TO do with fur
nishing the sunshine and rain. But
after a few years of Republican rule the
same result always happens-panic
among the financiers and distrust on the
part of the people. Harrison left the
treasury bare and compelled the Cleve-
land administration to issue bonds TO
