Enough sound money democrats had remained away from th polle or had voted against their party's nominee to bring about his defeat. General Hardin bowed to the decision in a@ manly way. He did not recant. He ex- pressed no regret for the course he had pursued. He still proclaimed himself a friend of silver and was chosen a dele- gate to the national convention which nominated Mr. Bryan for President. His admirers declared that he was tho lozical candidate for the next gubernatorial! race, a of their attention. mocrats ef Kentucky nomi- orthy governor and but he publican history din stecess for it wa ed apeak for silver and lost the race. ané that he had only to wait to receive a | pressed the case in the course of his cable- | newspapers complete vindication. General Hardin him- self was impressed with these assurances, and began at once laying pipe for the next nomination. In the two years that have elapsed since his defeat he has traveled extensively over the state strengthening his lines wherever he could. Next year will witness the election of a new state ticket. But does General Har- in find himself unopposed for his party's nomination for governor? By no means. There are several avowed candidates against him, and the bushes are reported as full of ambitious politicians only await- ing a signal to come out inio the open. All are as proncunced silver men as is General Hardin, and he and his friends now realize the fact that an extremely hard fight is before htm. The sentiment, once seemingly so general, in favor of present- ing him the next gubernatorial nomination en a silver salver has very greatly, and to him alarmingly, diminished. To many of the silver men in the state the martyr’s crown is ro longer visib'e on his manly brow. General Hardin is, of course, not Mr. Bryan. He is not a great crator. He has not the ‘ulty of swaying multitudes. No wonder whatever attaches to him. But he stands with relation to his party’s romination for governor of Kentucky next year precisely as Mr. Bryan does with relation to his party's nomination for Presi- dent in 1900, and Mr. Bryan himself ap- preciates the fact. He is a declared Har- din mun, much to the chagrin of General Hardin's opponents. ——__ + += —____. meal Water Meter Installation. Commissioners have announced to ne House sub-ccmmittee on District ap- prepriations that if given the desired per- ssion to require the use of meters by domestic consumers they will employ for this purpose the unexpended balances of the water supply revenues, estimated at about $75,000 a year. They calculate that this sum will install about 3,500 meters. There are now, according to the latest of- ficial reports, domestic consumers in District. Thus it appears that the pro- of installation will be gradual, cover- ng a period of 12 years. Were the saving effected by the meters, upon which the Commissioners confidently depend, to be represented in an increase of the water fund surplus the installation might be ex- pected to progress at a more rapid rate, but it is plain that the only result of the use of met if there is any sufficiently marked io be worthy of observation, will be the increase of the efficiency of the existing supply and the possible postpone- ment of the date when the supply must be increased by engineering works. hus it is plain that for at least twelve s the domestic water users of the Dis- subject to a series of unjust No definite plan is an- these installrhents of year will be effected. Arbitrary iminations must be made, and the ctacle will be presented of a portion of the domestic water users restricted by water meters, and paying for their water on one basis, while another portion is free from such riction, and makes payment on another basis. This unequal condition will be maintained for twelve years, and at no time during this period can the peo- ple who are chcsen for the meter service be given substantial reasons for their in- a riet will be discrimination nounced whereby dividual selection for this annoyar it is extremely doubtful whether the mete! are really needed. It is yet to be satisfactorily demonstrated that the waste due to the domestic use of the water under the present system is sufficient to warrant the expenditure of a million dollars to cor- rect it. It would seem to be scarcely ad- visable to experd that*million, bit by bit, in order to tind out, at the end of twelve whether the enterprise was justified 4s of the situation or not. This million of dollars should be spent cither in the unmistakable increase of the water supply, through proposed engincer- ing works, or in the purification of that supply, as by filtration, and not expended in furnishing a million dollar job to some enterprising dealer in wa soe Light Tons.

This tendency to de- prive the customer of a part of his legiti- mate allowance is sald to be ascribed in most 's to carelessness. Under the laws of chance there should occasionally be an overloaded cart, likewise due to carelessness, but such an instance has not yet been noted. This course of inquiry can but have good results. It will serve to give force to the statute that commands honest dealings in all commodities that are sold by weight or measure, and it will in- sure to householders and general pur- chasers a more nearly exact return for their money than before. —— +02 --—_ By considering the length and quality of many of the speeches made in public, some of the cpponents of the executive session may be moved to pause and reflect on th? h | possibility of its being a biessing in dis- guise. ———_—_ +02 Senator Burrows declare zled by the numerousness of peopiz who desire the positions his disposal.

There are five methods whereby the war in Cuba can be stopped and the wholesale starvation of the people of that island end- ed. The Spaniards may defeat the insur- gents and so close hostilities. The Cubans may defeat the Spaniards and win inde- pendence. Spain may surrender the fight and grant independence. She may com- premise the fight and offer semi-independ- erce. The United States may intervene to put an end to the spectacle of useless death and destruction. The Spaniards have demonstrated their utter inability to fight the insurgents to a stendstill, having waged war for three years at a tremendous cost in money and men without making any headway what- lever. The Cubans may maintain a defen- | sive campaign successfully and may con- tinue to prevent Spain from restoring peace in the provinces, but not even their most | ardent well-wishers belleve that the in- | surgents can drive the Spaniards out of the [island and so end the war by conquest. Spain cannot surrrender now, with the conditions at home ripe for revolution and | her international credit pledged to a con- tinuance of the struggle. She has tried to pacify the !nsurgents by offering a certain degree of autonomy that is denounced by both insurgents and ultra-Spanish elements as insufficient on the one hand and too lib- eral on the other. Autonomy is plainly a failure. As Mr. Pepper graphically ex- gram to The Star: ‘Autonomy is dead and the army officers have kicked the corpse. ] The volunteers and the rioters have tram- pleG on it. It has no place in future events in Cuba.” This leaves only the fifth possible agency for peace and the preservation of life, in- tervention in some form by the United States. This government has sought to cnd the war by the submission of its “good offices” to the government at Madrid and the proffer has been, in effect, spurned. Spain's answer to the suggestion was the Project of autonomy that has just failed so miserably to accomplish its mission. There is uothing left but active intervention, for the purpose of saving not only the lives of the Americans resident in Cuba,. but the lives of a nation of people. ——r+o Senator Mason is now in favor of pro- viding some way of making the Senate more hasty, and of preventing hotel clerks trom being too much so. —_++2+—____ Fortunatzly, Mr. Dingley did not give any personal guarantee that the tariff bearing his name would instantaneously produce a millennium. —>+e—_____ The San Francisco courts were disposed to deal gently with the trading stamp.

The Americ and their pr today in Hawali essors found the islands savage and civilized them; they found its people heathen and Christianized them. They found it without products and they have placed its plantations among the sugar producers of the world. They found it without commerce and they have turned Honolulu into a thriving port: This Ameri- can colony stands today an outpost of our civilizat industry and commerce in the mid-Pa It represents the enterprise, the abil and the future of America in the Pacific. President Dole and the gov- ernment of which he is the head hold the key to the commercial expansion of the future and to the safety cf our own coast, from Sitka to San Diego. The Senate, as it debates and decides on the Hawaiian an- nexation treaty, is not passing on the mere acquisition of these islands. This is an im- portant matter, but it is only a part of a greater whole. The real issue before the Senate is whether the United States shall go forward or backward, whether it shall expand its commerce and influence or re- matin supine within its boundaries. President Dole, like President Houston when he pleaded for the annexation of Texas, half a century ago, stands for the American advance, for our progress as a nation, for our growth as a power and for our position and prestige in the future. Where would the United States be today if it had refused to annex Texas, after an American colony had turned it into an out- post of American civilization? Every argu- ment against the annexation of Hawaii has been made against every previous annexa- tion, against Louisiana, Florida and Alaska. There have always been those who looked backward. It is the duty of the American » today to look forward, outward and rd as the members of the same body ce it assumed the responsibility of ratifying the annexation of Louisiana. ——+++-_____ The Corean Pie. From the Hong Kong Weekly Press. The Corean pie is n ly ready for the oven, and so lorg as Russia is not dis- turbed in the preparation of this dish she cares ttle what happens in Shantung. But what about France, her puissant ally? No doubt the republic’ also has its little game to play. Yun-nan and Szechuen are regarded by France as her special pre- serves, and if she is not obstructed in her efforts to open up Western China to trade she will not bother her head about what gocs on so much nearer to the Great Bear's gtand park. ‘The publication at this time of Li Chung Tong’s proposal for the reform of the army and navy of China, in which he calmly suggests the selection of Mirs Bay as one of three fortified naval stations, will probably have convinced the Iritisir government of the absolute necessity for acquiring the Kowloon hinterland for the protection of this colony. Vital Statistics in Russia. From the Contemporary Review. ‘The natural increase of the population is kept down to a relatively low figure by an abnormally large death rate, which is main- ly due to avoidable causes. Infectious dis- eases and insufficiency of medical help are among the most obvious. A few years ago it was stated by the Russian medical de- partment that in the Caucasus there was but one hospital for 309,000 persons and one bed for 12,000. In no country in the world are infectious diseases so frequently mortal as in Russia. Children especially suffer, and diphtheria, measles, scarlatina, small- pox literally decimate villages and country towns. It has been stated by the statisti- clan Ekk, with the help of official figures, that about 1,900,000, chiefly children, die every year, who might with a little more care be preserved to the empire.
