IN STYLE QUALITY The fact that Pardee carried this county by upward of 800 votes while only two of the dozen county candidates equalled it, and four suffered defeat, would seem to argue that something was radically wrong during the campaign. Need one look any further than the system of nomination unfortunately introduced in the county—the precious Crawford system, which, if continued, will inevitably place us in the ranks of the Democratic fold? No system of nomination can be reckoned a strong one which gives to a town polling a quarter of the total vote of the county ten out of the twelve nominations, leaving to the other 27 precincts the remaining two. That is what Crawford did for us, and only the hand of death stayed his evident purpose of making it eleven out of the twelve. We have already seen how the death of King made possible the nomination of Potter for the treasurership, and so far as the nomination of surveyor is concerned, probably if the county seat could have raked up a man to fill the bill at home, the outsider subsequently nominated might have been spared the humiliation of defeat at the polls later on. So it was no sure shot that Santa Ana might not have had, at one stage of the game, the whole blooming twelve of the even dozen nominations. God knows the town had candidates and strikers years, if it is such an unholy thing? Because that would have been tantamount to repudiating the party's ticket then in the field, and this would never have done, much as many of the delegates would delight in taking a whack at it. That there was weak timber among the candidates upon the ticket is undeniable, but this was rather the fault of the system of nominating than otherwise. The nomination of Langley for district attorney was an error; not that he is not a good attorney, good fellow and good campaigner. But Williams had filled the office for one term acceptably, and was entitled to another by all the rules of party usage I ever heard of in the county. His administration of the civil and criminal business of the office had been most creditable, and his uniformly successful prosecution of the illegal jag dispensers at Fullerton and elsewhere in the county had made him many staunch friends among the anti-saloon element, which was inclined to resent his defeat. Moreover the many untruthful stories told about Williams during the campaign—that he was the candidate of the liquor men and that sort of thing—reacted against the nominee, and helped compass his defeat. The right thing for the party to do is to right the wrong at the first favorable opportunity, even if it is a long look ahead to 1906. Wright's nomination for auditor was equivalent to tendering Robin- CHOLERA THREATENS YANKEE SCHOOLMAKER But the Stout-Hearted Pedagogue About Among the Natives Gives Them Instructions How to Ward off the Plague.

DEAR PEOPLE AT HOME: now been in my new home three and have not a word to complain Everything is going forward as antly as I could possibly hope for far I have held seven sessions of school, which all the town office tend and in which they are so far much interested. I have an attendance of about 30 at the school. The law requires not less than 12. These students are learning idly to speak English.

IT will be the duty of the next county convention to place its stamp of disapproval upon this imported heresy instanter. The outsiders look to the county-seaters to themselves introduce the resolution. Failing to do so and look pleasant, then the outsiders—the men who attend conventions for the party's weal, not their own political preferment—will take the bit in their teeth and perform the coup de grace, in plain sight of all, charging no admission fee to see the performance. But as the county-seat gangsters, their palms itching to acquire that which could come to them in the regular way never at all, passed out to the party this beautiful gold brick of commerce, so will they be made to do penance in plain sight of all—these honorable gentlemen who never had an honorable bone in their political bodies, and who are eternally grasping, grasping for something for themselves. Look at the figures of the registration and then cast your eagle eye over the total vote polled. Note the discrepancy of nearly a thousand votes. To be sure we need not have looked for a vote equal to the total number registered, nor nearly so. But a falling off of a thousand ought to open these chaps' eyes. It is perhaps not too much to say that at least 500 voters remained away from the polls on account of dissatisfaction with the ticket. That ought to open their eyes still further. In one precinct, where a prospective candidate for office was sidetracked by the courthouse-Crawford push, 23 men failed to register. In another, where its candidate was defeated by his defeat. Moreover the many untruthful stories told about Williams during the campaign—that he was the candidate of the liquor man and that sort of thing—reacted against the nominee, and helped compass his defeat. The right thing for the party to do is to right the wrong at the first favorable opportunity, even if it is a long look ahead to 1906. Wright's nomination for auditor was equivalent to tendering Robinson an invitation to continue fattening himself at the public trough for four years more. His nomination was weak from geographical as well as political standpoints, for Santa Ana had already had its quota of the frying fat, and Orange was entitled to Hardy's nomination for more reasons than that it would go far toward breaking into the phenomenal run made by Robinson in that neighborhood. To deny Hardy the nomination, when it was well known the Democrats were dallying with the weak sisters thitherward, was the height of political folly—no delegate convention would have done so. Wright sneaked in under the political canvass, and he now serves to point a moral, if he doesn't adorn a tale, about the Crawford sip and the Orange county slip. Wright is a good fellow, but his nomination under the circumstances was weak—weaker than a skimmed high ball in the morning. Perhaps there are few in Orange county who are not genuinely sorry that Nichols failed to land the sheriff's office, and none but wish now that Snover had not been given an opportunity to show what he could in the running. While Nichols had once made an ineffectual try at the office, nevertheless the fact that he had made the best sheriff the county had ever had was the party's excuse for entering him again in the race. How he lost the race, the figures tell in a manner that will not again be unheeded. The nomination of Sherwood for surveyor was only made possible by the fact of his being the only Republican surveyor in the county. Had there been another, probably Capt. Finley had been turned out to pasture. In four years from now, if Sherwood should still have the ambition to be surveyor, perhaps it would be advisable for Pap Cushman to place a small ad in the papers for a surveyor to come to this county and have a feeding place at the public trough at the public expense. Last Monday morning the house doors were thrown open children entered. This number the week was increased to abo and I am told that this week more will enter. Things at first necessarily quite badly mixed had no previous knowledge of instruct them or how to carry work, so have had to learn a actual experience. Before that week, however, things bight themselves and I began able to see a little daylight steth through the mess. The school-house is divided wise in the center by a solid stone On the right hand side are all three on the left girls. In order one side from the other I have out doors and across. Among are over 50 under nine years The second native teacher has of these. Some of them come very dirty, but most of them cleanly. Above this class are more smaller classes of boys upward in size to boys as large as myself. In the highest o five or six very promising casual hint now and then came to come to school neat and clear of them go barefooted.

In the girls' school we find grading of pupils and subjects One peculiar thing about this believe I have not told you way they dress. Down as eight and nine years up to we wear long trains attached sometimes trailing behind a two feet. Some of the small also come to school very dim week I am going to put a stop coming in this condition plenty of water here for them in if they wish to. In the o I have seven girls, five of which be called pretty even in America especially, a mestiza—a Spanish and Filipino mother.

From 3:30 to 4 I teach the teachers. At 4 we close home. I generally eat supp o'clock, then prepare my n lesson or go out for a walk of my friends. Night school 6:30, three nights in the lasts one and one-half hour looked for a vote equal to the total number registered, nor nearly so. But a falling off of a thousand ought to open these chaps' eyes. It is perhaps not too much to say that at least 500 voters remained away from the polls on account of dissatisfaction with the ticket. That ought to open their eyes still further. In one precinct, where a prospective candidate for office was sidetracked by the courthouse-Crawford push, 23 men failed to register. In another, where its candidate was defeated by the same push, the vote shows a falling off of fifty odd as compared with the total number registered. In another twenty odd voters were counted temporarily out of town. In at least five other precincts, where local candidates, running well at home, were each of them slaughtered by this push, the ticket was scratched to a finish on election day. Now perhaps all this may not in fairness be charged up to Mr. Crawford, but all the same the wave of indignation which swept over the party at the time of the primaries had not had time to entirely disperse itself. Indeed I was surprised to see how well the leaders in the outlying precincts succeeded in smothering the fires of resentment at the ticket. Let it not be forgotten that to these men, who are in the game from patriotic motives merely, is such success as the party achieved in no little part due. But that the spirit of party resentment was feverish at the time of the primaries is undeniable; had the election been held a fortnight after the primaries, not so many candidates had landed as crawled in out of the wet last Tuesday. The Crawford push was wise in its day and generation by having the primaries called so far ahead of the election that this spirit might have an opportunity to at least in part subside. But why did not the last convention right this political evil, you ask, instead of putting it off for two surveyor was only made possible by the fact of his being the only Republican surveyor in the county. Had there been another, probably Capt. Finley had been turned out to pasture. In four years from now, if Sherwood should still have the ambition to be surveyor, perhaps it would be advisable for Pap Cushman to place a small ad in the papers for a surveyor to come to this county and have a feeding place at the public trough at the public expense. Potter was in every respect the strongest man on the ticket; his friends made that claim for him, and it is true that his record is such that he must inevitably be regarded as tiptop political timber; yet he is barely elected by the epidermis of his molars, so to speak. Santa Ana, which should have given him a majority of 200 votes, went against him by nearly as many. But Fullerton and Placentia were a bit shy on the vote on this important office. Yet Potter gets there with both feet and I know several fellows who are wearing new hats as a result of it. Peters' phenomenal run is the surprise of all. Not that his election was not a foregone conclusion, for it was never in doubt, but a majority exceeding 1400 in a vote considerably below 5000 was enough, I doubt not, to surprise him, and he says nothing ever surprises him. Beckett's majority of over 1200 is alike creditable to himself and the party. I guess Billy can be county clerk pretty near as long as he wants to. Hey, Billy? Vegely and Hall come to the surface with old-fashioned majorities, and although the campaign was off color in places, there is, after all, some balm in Gilead.

OLEERA THREATENS YANKEE SCHOOLMASTER In the Stout-Hearted Pedagogue Goes About Among the Natives Giving Them Instructions How to Ward off the Plague. Two letters have come from Wilford schools, the "Yankee schoolmaster in Philippines," during the week, one them of an earlier date than those recently appearing in these columns, another telling of the appearance of cholera at Iloilo. Both will be perused in interest by our readers. DEAR PEOPLE AT HOME: I have been in my new home three weeks and have not a word to complain of. Everything is going forward as pleasantly as I could possibly hope for. So I have held seven sessions of night school, which all the town officials attended and in which they are so far very much interested. I have an average attendance of about 30 at the night school. The law requires not less than 15 students are learning rapidly to speak English. I never meet any of them but what they have something to say to me in English. When later the room they all stand up and "Good evening," just like so many little boys. I teach them English words and sentences and how to use them. Last Monday morning the school-house doors were thrown open and 160 children entered. This number during the week was increased to about 180, and I am told that this week many will enter. Things at first were necessarily quite badly mixed up. I had no previous knowledge of how to instruct them or how to carry on the work, so have had to learn all from actual experience. Before the end of the week, however, things began to take themselves over and I began to cholera had been officially declared to exist in Iloilo, and giving him instructions as to what the people should not eat and how in general to guard against it. I am also trying to impress upon them the necessity for being careful. Should cholera break out here (Alimodian, 14 miles from Iloilo) I shall probably close school and go to Iloilo. However, I do not believe that it will spread very rapidly now as the rainy season is at hand. Only those who have actually participated in the real work of imparting a new language to a foreign people can realize all it means. The teacher who begins his work in the Filipino schoolroom with the thought uppermost in his mind that an easy time awaits him, that patience is never needed, that his educational efforts end with the school-room hours, that he has no social functions in the community at large to look after, will probably meet with some disappointments and a meager degree of success ere his task is completed. Two months and a half of work in the school-room and out of it have taught me that hard work, inexhaustible patience, a helping hand at any hour in any place, a kindly word and a happy smile for all, coupled with firmness throughout, are absolutely indispensable to one's success here. The teacher must speedily acquire a love for his work and far more than a passing interest in the welfare of the people among whom he is laboring, if he would attain to the higher degrees of success. Previous to the beginning of my work in the town of Alimodian on the island of Panay I heard so many gloomy reports, both from American and Philippine sources, regarding the many insurmountable difficulties confronting one in his work, that it was almost with fear and trembling that I began. Often I had been told that the children BIG VOLUME OF IMMIGRATION More People Setting Out This Way Than Ever Before in the History of the Country An Omaha dispatch says: When in December and January the mercury takes a dip toward zero there will be the largest crowd in California that the middle west has ever sent across the Rockies. Never have arrangements on anywhere near such an extensive scale been made to handle this class of business, nor have so many routes been open for through service to the Pacific coast. Omaha claims to be the great gateway through which a large part of the vast throng will pass, and will be second only to Chicago in the distribution of the winter tourist business. By January the Chicago Great Western will have built to the Missouri river, so that there will be five great railroad systems reaching this point, all catering to the California trade. These are the Northwestern, the Burlington, the St. Paul, the Rock Island and the Chicago Great Western. The Santa Fe, the Rock Island and the Chicago and Alton will use the Kansas City gateway, these routes leading through New Mexico and Arizona. There is still another feature of winter traffic that is sure to be developed more extensively this winter. This will be the inclination of a large portion of the people to visit both the gulf and the Pacific coast, and this makes New Orleans the third gateway. It is estimated that there will be an increased travel on this route, and much of it will be distributed from Chicago. The Louisville and Nashville is now controlling the Monon, and it will therefore have one Chicago connection via Cincinnati, another via Louisville and still another by Evansville. Then, again, there is far northern route via St. Paul, now reached by St. Paul, the Northwestern, the Burlington and the Great Western. This course is more of a summer Good evening, just like so many boys. I teach them English words and sentences and how to use them. A week ago Monday morning the school-house doors were thrown open and 160 children entered. This number during that week was increased to about 180, and I am told that this week many more will enter. Things at first were necessarily quite badly mixed up. I had no previous knowledge of how to instruct them or how to carry on the work, so have had to learn all from visual experience. Before the end of the week, however, things began to right themselves and I began to be able to see a little daylight streaming through the mess. The school-house is divided cross-wall in the center by a solid stone wall. On the right hand side are all the boys, and the left girls. In order to reach the side from the other I have to go out doors and across. Among the boys we over 50 under nine years of age. The second native teacher has charge of these. Some of them come to school very dirty, but most of them are quite neatly. Above this class are three smaller classes of boys, ranging toward in size to boys as large, nearly as myself. In the highest class are five or six promising boys. A usual hint now and then causes them to come to school neat and clean. All of them go barefooted. So far I have taught them nothing but reading, from the first reader (Baldwin's), including writing and spelling, and arithmetic. Most universally they are good writers. The floor in the room is of brick filling ten inches square. The ceiling of bamboo matting. On the walls I have tacked a number of pictures. The benches are good. In the girls' school we find the same grading of pupils and subjects taught. One peculiar thing about the girls I believe I have not told you yet is the way they dress. Down as young as eight and nine years up to women they wear long trains attached to them, sometimes trailing behind as much as two feet. Some of the smaller girls also come to school very dirty. This week I am going to put a stop to their coming in this condition. There is plenty of water here for them to bathe in if they wish to. In the oldest class I have seven girls, five of whom would be called pretty even in America; one especially, a mestiza—a Spanish father and Filipino mother. School begins at 7:30 in the morning. At 8:55 begins a 20 minutes recess At 10 o'clock school is out for noon. Then from 10 to 11 o'clock I give the native teachers a lesson. The town secretary also comes to this class. From 11 to 2 in the afternoon I eat, sleep and read—eat at 11 generally. My muchachos have dinner ready for me by the time I get home from school. At 2 school is called again and lasts until 3:30. From 3:30 to 4 I again have the teachers. At 4 we close up and go home. I generally eat supper about 5 o'clock, then prepare my night school lesson or go out for a walk with some of my friends. Night school begins at 6:30, three nights in the week, and lasts one and one-half hours. Every month in the town of Alimodian on the island of Panay I heard so many gloomy reports, both from American and Philippine sources, regarding the many insurmountable difficulties confronting one in his work, that it was almost with fear and trembling that I began. Often I had been told that the children were dirty beyond recognition, that they were noisy and indolent, that they could not learn when they tried, that they smoked tobacco in the school-room and that pools of spittle were beside every desk, that the parents were disquietful, etc. Many times I had been warned never to set foot inside of Alimodian without being heavily armed, and even then the odds were against my ever coming out alive. These reports and many more, coming as they often did from teachers of experience here, were not altogether encouraging. But to be brief, I came to Alimodian unarmed and the people knew it an hour after I arrived, for I told them so. I told them that Alimodian had thirteen good policemen and I expected them to protect me. This added responsibility on the part of the presidente and touched in him a responsive chord. A smile not unmixed with pride overspread his kindly face. Turning to his chief of police he issued orders in Visayan that I did not understand, but could easily guess. Since then I have had no fear for my life. Never have I heard a disloyal word uttered by any of them. On the other hand they have many times expressed to me their good feeling toward the Americans. The town secretary, an exceptionally bright and industrious fellow and a loyal supporter of my work, said that at first his people did not like the Americans, but that it was only because they misunderstood them. Now he says he and his people are glad they came, and he has often asked me if I will not remain a long time among them and teach them. I have not found the children dirty beyond recognition. Ninety per cent of them are always clean and neatly dressed. Of course this is true only among the better classes, for they alone attend school in my town. The children of the poorer classes have not sufficient clothing to permit them to attend school. Occasionally among the other ten per cent I find a pupil too dirty to remain in school, so I send him home with instructions never to come to school again without washing. So far no pupil has been sent home twice. The children never smoke tobacco or chew betel in school or at rest. True, a few violated the rule at first, but now they know what is expected of them and obey. The habit of studying aloud in school I find the most difficult to overcome, but each day sees improvement along this line. The rapidity with which these chil- Consumption Salt pork is a famous old-fashioned remedy for consumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago.

From 11 to 2 in the afternoon I eat, sleep and read—eat at 11 generally. My muchachos have dinner ready for me by the time I get home from school. At 2 school is called again and lasts until 3:30. From 3:30 to 4 I again have the teachers. At 4 we close up and go home. I generally eat supper about 5 o'clock, then prepare my night school lesson or go out for a walk with some of my friends.

Every evening I generally take a stroll through the market where two or three hundred people are gathered from 7 to 9. The Filipinos are early risers. Most of them are astir before sun-up. As early as 6:30 the children begin to gather at school. I am just as contented here and have just as good, if not better health, as though living in an American town. Bananas and mangoes are very plentiful now. Yesterday for two duccos (about 1½ cents in American money) I bought 15 bananas. The mango is a nice fruit. Its meat resembles very much the Crawford peach. It is very juicy and sweet and is as large as a big Crawford peach. They can be bought here now for about 1 cent per dozen. The people give me about all I need to eat. I take the bananas and mangoes, mix them and cover them with condensed milk, and they make a delicious dish. But one thing has happened to mar in any way my surroundings. For several days I had suspected that my first native woman teacher was not just right mentally. Friday in class it developed that she was really insane. I learned after class that she had been insane more or less for over a year. I sent word to her brother not to have her return to school any more, and have written Mr. Brink to send me another teacher. I am very sorry for this for I had counted much upon her as a teacher. She is a mestiza and quite pretty. They say she is afraid of me. She thinks I am after her money. One of her brothers is a very intimate friend of mine. He says they will not permit her to teach any more. Yesterday my presidente received a letter from Iloilo notifying him that sufficient clothing to permit them to attend school. Occasionally among the other ten per cent I find a pupil too dirty to remain in school, so I send him home with instructions never to come to school again without washing. So far no pupil has been sent home twice. The children never smoke tobacco or chew betel in school or at recess. True, a few violated the rule at first, but now they know what is expected of them and obey. The habit of studying aloud in school I find the most difficult to overcome, but each day sees improvement along this line. The rapidity with which these children learn has been a constant source of marvel to me. As in American schools there are a few drones among them, but generally they are eager to learn and work industriously. It soon becomes natural to the teacher to use in his conversations with his pupils only those words that he has taught them. My method of instructing is almost exclusively conversational and writing from dictation. Rarely ever now do I need to employ Spanish or Visayan as a medium of thought exchange. Everywhere, in the schoolroom, on the play-ground, on the street, in their homes, I hear them jabbering English. This fact alone is a great source of gratification to me. In no place can a teacher better measure the progress he is making than in a school of this nature where he takes the children upward from the very first round in the educational ladder. The children and parents are universally very polite. They always say "Good morning" or "Good afternoon" when I meet them, and never fail to say "Good-bye" on leaving. The brightest children are those mixed with Spanish blood, and almost without exception they are pretty. All the boys, ranging from little fellows six years old to men grown, come to school barefooted and many of them bareheaded. The girls wear sandals but no stockings and never wear hats to school. If the day is warm or rainy they carry umbrellas. From the youngest baby girls to the oldest women they wear long dresses that sweep the floor. They are fond of jewelry, such as earrings, finger rings and necklaces. Most of these, of course, are of cheap material. The women and girls weave Consumption Salt pork is a famous old-fashioned remedy for consumption. “Eat plenty of pork,” was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott’s Emulsionist modern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott’s Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott’s Emulsion does more than that. There is something about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites in Scott’s Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs. A sample will be sent free upon request. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy.
