The deaths from bubonic plague of two young women, daughters of the postmaster at Honkua. Hawaii, offer convincing evidence that the germs of the plague finger on the islands, where the sanitary officials should toll unceasingly in order to suppress them. The same danger undoubtedly exists on the southern Pacific slope, where the rats should be made objects of un- relenting warfare.

Rear Admiral Bacon of the British navy advocates the construction of larger battleships because in his opinion. with proper subdivision of the hull. they are not as likely to be sunk as a result of torpedo attack as the smaller ship There ia something in this as the weight of armament car ried by large ship is not propor tionately as large as that on the smaller ship, But it must not be over looked that the torpedo is becoming more powerful under the develop of inventors, and the damage they in fiict may be beyond the ability of even the best of compartmented hul!s to withstand

Famous Church ReOpened.

In the reopening of the old Ense-
naneza Church on Callie de Donceles

est and most valuable gems of ar.
work was restored to public enjoy
ment.
This church vas among the prop

movement and the separation of
chlurch from State in Mexico. 1t was
later conditionally restored as a house
or Catholic worship ,and in 1904 con-
demned again by the government for
the purpose Of enlarging the federal
district and palace of justice and civ
IL courts building. The church was
constructed about IT'S years ago out

ish countess and placed III charge of
the Ensenaneza convent now used
by the federal courts.
In addition to the Handsomely carv

FOrccasting The Next Congress.

From present indications the next
national house of representatives will
be Democratic. The signs point un-
mista kably i'm this direction. But the
majority by which the Democrats will
control the popular assembly is quite
another thing.
If the table which has recently been
completed by some of the more en-
thusastice prophets is verified by re-
suits, the Democrats will carry 22i
districts and the Republicans 166 dis
tricts in the fall elections, giving the
former an emphatic majority with
which to organize the next house and
to choose the next speaker.
According to this forecast the
Democratic congressman will be dis
tributed as follows: Alabama g.,
Arkansas Z, California 3, Colorado 8,
Connecticut 1, Delaware 1, Florida 8,
Georgia IL. Idaho /, Illinois 10, In
diana 8, Iowa 3, Kansas 2, Kentucky
8, Louisiana 7, Maine 4, Maryland A.,
Massachusetts 6, Michigan 2, Mime

Carolina 8, Ohio 8, Oklahoma f.,
Oregon 2, Pennsylvania z, Rhode
Island /, South Carolina Z, South Da-
kota l, Tennessee s, Texas 16, Vir-
ginia 8, West Virginia 2, Wisconsin 8.
Total 224.
The Republicans will be apport-
ioned in the following manner: CAL
ifornia 5, Connecticut 4, Illinois Is,
Indiana 5, Iowa 8, Kansas 6, Ken
lucky 2, Maryland 2, Massachusetts
s. Michigan 10, Minnesota G, Mis-

oming 1, Total 166.
Solid Democratic delegations are
given to thirteen states: Alabama, Ar
kansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida
Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine,
Mississippi, Montana, South Carolina
and Texas.
Solid Republican delegations are
conceded to only seven states: New
Hampshire, North Dokato, Oregon,
Utah, Vermont Washington and Wy
oming.
New York's delegation will be di-
vided into almost equal halves.
In view Of the fact that in the pres
ent house the Republicans have a
majority Of Sc, it will require some
thing of an upheaval to give the
Democrats a majority Of So; but upon
such an outcome scores of enthusias-
tic Democrats are counting. Even

Mr.. BALLINGER'S SNAKE-KILL.
ING CAMPAIGN.

Il intended to Kill some snalIes."
exclaimed Secretary Ballinger with a
sardonic smile when he was on the
witness-stand before the Congress
ional Investigating Committee. The
snakes are the men in his depart
ment who have failed to stand by
him." When CLAWS unearthed the
Cunningham claims. CLAWS was
promptly discharged. When Kirby
told the facts in regard to the pre-
paration Of the Taft letter of vindi-
cation, Kirby was discharged. Now
Mr.. Ballinger has set about the work
of driving from the Government SER
vice those who gave testimony that
was unfavorable to him. He has sum-
marlly discharged Horace r. Jones.
Jones was the special agent of the
Land Office who collected consider
able evidence tending to prove the
fraudulent character Of the Cunning
ham coal-land claims. He was sum-
moned by the investigating commit
ee. was compelled to testify, and,
though every effort was make to
break down his testimony, it stood
the test. This testimony involved
Ballinger and his friends. Ballinger
orders the dismissal of Jones.
Service and the Chief Engineer dis
agreed with Mr.. Ballinger on many
points. They questioned the truth
of some of his statements 1t is un-
derstood that both officials will be re-
moved.
But the Ballinger snake-k killing
campaign by no means ends with
those he regards as his active enc
miles," 1t extends to officials who re-
fused to aid in his defense. Prof
Joseph A. Holmes is regarded as the
ablest expert in certain features of
mining and mine-rescue work in this
country. Congress created a Bureau
of Mines in order to extend the not
able work in which Professor Holmes
has been engaged for several years,
and no other man was thought of for
the first chief of this bureau. Holmes
takes no interest whatever in politics.
He refused to take sides or to be

linger affair. He spent his time in
attending strictly to business. Holmes
was the co-worker Of Secretary Gar
field and Clifford Pinchot in the pre-
vious administration. But he failed
to rush to the rescue of Ballinger, and
the Secretary Of the Interior is do
ing everything in his power to hu-
initiate DR.. Holmes and appoint an
other man chief of the Bureau of
Mines.
Mr. Ballinger Is sorely taxing the
patience Of the American people. His
attitude on the witness stand and his
course since that time show clearly
what manner Of man he Is.
1t Is not the Joneses and the CLAY
ises of this administration who de-
serve removal, but the Ballingers.

Of servile underlings who sneeze ev-
cry time the Secretary takes snuff.
In spite of all the ''vindication" that
whitewashing committees can fur
nish, in spite Of all the letters of "ex-
oneration" that friendly attorneys
can draft and the President sign, the
head of Ballinger himself is demand
ed by the people of the United States
and Mr.. Taft will be forced to recog-
nize that demand, or still further
weaken and disorganize his party
