THE SILVER STATE

he continued his travels to California,
working in the older settlements, re-
turning in 1S47, following the Indian
massacre, in which Whitman and his
followers lost their lives. At the open
ing Of the Civil war he started east
ward and enlisted in the southern
army in 1862. Returning to the
western frontier at the close of the
war he became a stage driver and
freighter. He was active until a year
ago. The last three vars before be-
ing stricken he had made his home
on Mrs. r. e. Aliens ranch, where he
had a small house, of which he was
the sole occupant.

Well Known in Winnemucca.

Mr.. Dromiac, who is the owner of
the Overland hotel in Reno, is well
known in Winnemucca. His last
visit here was about two weeks ago,
and it is not probable that the large
number of people he met were aware
that they were conversing with a
prince in disguise.

PASS THE RESOLUTION.

The resolution for an amendment 10
the federal Constitution providing FOR
a single six-year Presidential term Will
soon he called up in the Senate ana
should he passed. The public had some
of the conspicuous evils OF the present
system brought sharply TO mind TINS
wear by the contest for the nomination
which ragged over the country, ami we
believe il is ready TO bring about ac-
tion hy the states TO bar such political
strife for the future If Congress Will
prepare the way by passing this resolu-
tion.
Objection is sometimes made that the
abuses which have been the subject OF
most complaint in the past, through the
use Of patronage to secure renomina-
ton, are about TO disappear with the
more general adoption of the popular
primary system. But, as the country
has seen this year. the new system or
making nominations may bring IN mon
strous evils OF its own. If President
seeking denomination should not be
tempted to marshal his pOstmasters so
as TO control delegates he would be con
stantly compelled to bear in mind the
primaries at which in the end he must
appeal for support. He would be al
ways tempted TO play the demagogue
in order 10 keep the favor of the multi
tude. The prospect is certainly not
reassuring enough 10 take the force out
of the argument for giving the Presi-
dent a term sufficiently long To enable
him TO carry out his policies and plac-
ing him above the temptations of poll
ties. whether politics of the machine
kind or of the direct primary kind.

TYPHOID CARRIERS"

The case of Il dairyman in New der
sey who is said 10 be Il walking dis
seminator Of typhoid germs is by no
means novel. II IS number of years
since the first such phenomenon was
observed, in the person Of woman
employed as a domestic servant ~ this
city. Since then several instances have
been reported of persons who. while
apparently in excellent health. Wer"
stocked with typhoid bacilli, and who.
while they themselves suffered no III
effects and were free from all other
symptoms of typhoid fever. were a seri-
Gus menace because Of the danger OF
their transmitting the disease 10 those
with whom they came in contact.
If there Is such danger Of transmits
sion. and if II has actually occurred on
an extensive scale in this latest case
in New Jersey. the fact may he either
alarming or merely discreditable. The
generally accepted theory of typhoid
infection is well known and is sup
posed to be well established. II is that
the disease is caused by the entrance
Of its specific bacilli into the alimen-
tary canal. through the usual medium
Of food or drink. and that, moreover
such germs must have originated in and
been conveyed through the natural
medium from the corresponding organs
Of patients suffering from the disease
or at least already infected with il.
That is why water contaminated with
sewage is so prolific source Of ~
phoid and why the disease is so readily
induced through the contamination OF
| food and drink by flies which have
themselves been contaminated with
sewage.
But on that theory the transmission
of typhoid germs by these apparently
sound and healthy typhoid carriers
is explicable only through the assump
ton Of gross uncleanliness Such a
conclusion would he highly discredit
able TO those concerned. If we are not
| to accent il. there is apparently only
! one other That is, that the theory Of
| typhoid infection which we have de
scribed Is erroneous and that the dis
ease is susceptible OF transmission in
other ways-thrOugh the touch Of the
hand. in the breath or in clothing, as
was formerly supposed On the whole
we should prefer 10 accept the former
explanation, unpleasant as it is, for un
cleanliness is remediable, while II ty
phoid may be transmitted by the touch
or through the air it is a far more for
midable pestilence than ii is now sup
| posed to be

A SAD SITUATION.

There Is already widespread he.
lief that Tammany Is not going TO be
true to the national ticket" so "The
Evening Post informs the world at

Siasm for Governor Wilson's nominal

disheartening state Of affairs. 1t is
sad that Murphy should be thus rep
resented. though Of course. those who
know him best say he Is confident that
his friend the Governor won't believe
him capable Of disloyalty TO 'the

Wilson, too, TO have such an idea

CHINA's ALIEN ADVISERS.

One of the most interesting and
from some points Of view most hope
full features Of Chinas struggle for
constitutional republicanism is her pol
icy OF engaging distinguished experts
OF other nations to be the official ad-
visers of her own government Some
time ago it was announced that Pro-
fessor jerks. Of New York University,
had been engaged as such an adviser
chiefly, ii is 20 be assumed. in socio-
logical and economical matters; and
then that DR.. Morrison, long the
Peking correspondent of "The London
Times" had been similarly engaged
Us political adviser. Both of these
gentlemen are understood 10 have ac-
cepted their appointments. Now ii Is
intimated that Mr.. Rockhill, formerly
American Minister 10 China and now
Ambassador at C0nstantinople. has
been invited TO become the adviser Of
China in her foreign relations. and II
is suggested that Lord Charles BereS-
ford should be made her adviser in
naval affairs. II would lac quite
logical TO extend the system until
there was an alien expert at the head
of every department Of the Chinese
government
Such a system would doubtless be
of immense practical value to China.

ONE M D. DIsTURBs ANOTHER
Woman Physician Disagrees with DR.
William Waugh.

To tho Editor ~ Tho Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune ~ August l2 ! no.
tice your report OF a paper by DIR. Will
lam Waugh, In which he states that all
women adore the brutal type OF man-the
tvpc for instance that attacked tho Sa-
bIne maidcns.
Dr Waugh therefore formulates these
maxims to govern man in his relations
with his wife:
when YOU md your mate take her: she
awaits II.
when she arouses your jealousy beat
her. shc needs It.
~ she bctrays YOU kill her; she de
serves IT,"
Charming maxims, these, handed 10 the
young men OF our country To govern their
conduct I'm sex matters. In New York We
have taken one unfortunate young man
certain Mr. Harry Thaw-and locked
him up because he pursued a course OF
conduct not unlike the one recommended
by Or. Waugh; but man like Mr.. Thaw
is not so dangerous 10 the community as
man Of Or. Waugh's type, who delib-
erately sets out TO advocate. under stamp
of authority, actions which are grossly
degenerate.
In tho early days Of the race the cave
man struggled 10 wrest his food from
nature and killed other men on sight, be-
cause they reduced the food supply, and
therefore essened his chances Of sub
sstence and survival Later Oh, when men
banded together in savage tribes, the man
who killed the greatest number OF men
other than tribe MEMBERSHIPS consId-
cred the greatest man, because he rem
dered service TO the tribe by destroying
others who diminished the food supply.
But times have changed. We do not
depend on a merely natural food supply
nowadays We produce our own supply
of food and a murderer is not now
greatly honored even though he kills
another for the means OF subsistence.
And SO II is with other things. We do
not know how great has been the desra-
dation and brutality Of the cave man In
sex matters; but we do know that long
ago the law withdrew from men the priv
ilege Of killing their wives at VIII. This
privilege primitive man enjoyed and could
lawfully execute, provided only that he
the wife he rid himself of was unfaithful
TO him. To kill your wife nowadays ''if
she betrays you" as advised by Dr.
Waugh. Is happily against the law.
DR.. Waugh's maxims Of behavior for
men are amusing. but really not SO much
so as his assumed knowledge OF woman.
lie says the cave man ''smply caught his
woman knocked her down II she resisted
and dragged her. mono too gently, 10 his
lair. The nearer the modern approx
mates this type and method the better 1t
suits the woman" lie assumes little
top much knowledge OF women when he
presumes TO tell OF the kind OF man that
suits US. There are, OF course. some few
degraded. degenerate, atavistic women,
just as there are murderers and thieves.
lie may nave known and gathered his
data from some OF these. But the man
who beats and murders his wife is becom-
ing unpopular as civilization advances;
and the reason that this Is 40 is because
