Some Brief Remarks by Dan Pelter's
Wife.

"Mr. Pelter,'' said Dams wife,
"would We like TIL see me lone wild
der, with stone dead husband?"
This IDEA startled Dan and he looked
up from his whiting kindlings with the
carving knife.
''Of course not. I've got a heart fur
We as big as barn an as open as Ell

Columbus and His Sailors.

When we think how superstition.
gradually retiring from the world, still
keeps its grasp upon sailors of to-day,
we can imagine how it must have ruled
the ignorant seamen of Columbus. The
thoughtful, lonely ways of their admiral
made him only an object of terror;
they yielded to him with wonderful SUBJ
mission, but it was the homage of fear.
The terror reached its climaxwhen they
entered. the vast stSargasso Sea" q
region of Gulf-weed-a tract of ocean
as large as France, Humboldt says
through which they sailed. Here at last,
they thought, was the home of all the
monsters depicted in the. charts who
might at any moment rear their dis
torted forms from the snaky sea-weed.
Like demons endiong tressses, they sailed

New bonnets and hats for the season

velvet crown. Styles for the demi-sea-

precisely like the long, plain redingotes

The new braid embroidery differs
from that so familiar to every lady by
having the narrow braid set up on one

A Remarkable Career.

A remarkable career was that of the
Hon. John Tod, who died recently at
Victoria, b. c., aged n.nety-one years.
In 1907 he entered the service of the
Hudson's Bay Company. and within a
few years had visited almost every por-
ton of the vast territory from Hudson
Bay to the Columbia River. He visit
ed Montreal in 1912, and Astoria, Ore.
in 1913. Afterward in the Peace River
country he spent nine years without
hearing his mother tongue or seeing the
face OF white person. Forty years
ago he was in charge of old Fort Kam-
loops. and one day, when almost alone,
was surprised bv large party of In
dams, who invaded the fort Tor the pug
pose of plumber, and, perhaps, murder.
Quickly knocking out the head of one
of several barrels of powder, he DELHI

years, but retired to private life about
fifteen We RS ago. He retained full
possession of all his faculties to the day

CONGRESS AND RAILROADS.

Mr.. Reagan's bill for the regulation Of inter
State commerce has been sharply criticised by
Mr.. Blanchard, of the Erie Railroad, who APP
peared before the committee which has this
bill under consideration and submitted strong
reasons why no such bill should pass.
Mr.. Blanchard is recognized as one Of the
ablest railroad men in the country, and his
large practical experience entities his sugges-
tons 10 special attention. He showed that the
measure was both obscure and unreasonable
in its provisions, that it would be impossible
for the railroads to comply with It's require
ments, and that the public interests are better
protected by the rivalry of the railroads than
they could be by the legislation proposed.
A still stronger argument against the meas
IRE, If possible, is suggested by the remarks
of Mr. Vanderbilt in the interview published
by THE TRIBUNE on Thursday. Mr.. Wander
bit was not discussing proposed or possible
legislation by Congress, and made no reference
to the Reagan bill, and yet he incidentally
showed in the strongest light the evil to which
such a measure would lead. At first blush,
his declaration that the railroads had been
able to combine again, and that he believed
the new agreement would last for years,
might appear good reason for Congressional
interference. If the railroads combine, many
may hastily infer, 1t must be against the pub
lie. Mr.. Vanderbilt, however, has made 1t
clear that the roads combine against each other,
and not against the public at all that the sole
object Of their alliance is to restrain constant
tendency to excessive and suicidal competition
The performance Is precisely like the forma-
ton of n vigilance committee in a new coun-
try filed with wild and lawless men. There

4 JEFFERSONIIN COFFEE-POT REVITAL
The Hon. William A. Wallace, of Pennsyl-
vania, has written an eloquent and cxhOrtatory
letter to the Democracy on the subject of a
"Jcifersonan Revival" We have seldom pc
ruSed document more thoroughly saturated
with noble sentiment. Like the other leaders OF
his party, Mr.. Wallace is in favOrOf going long
way back Tor inspiration. Let u.s." he says,
ago back and learn what jefferson thought,
and teach it to the people" The way to teach
it, he continues, is thoroughly to organize the
party. Organization is indispensable to success
sin business and equally SO in politics Close at
"tention to details is the only safe means to a
"cOmpetence in life; accurate, earnest and
"syStematic attention to details in politics is
" the only road to triumph there" What we
have quoted is the more prOsac part OF the
eloquent epistle. These plain statements OF
the business aspect of the "revlval" are
dropped in carelessly amid great deal Of very
eloquent talk about CRUSADERS" religious
fervor," Grained soldiers Of the Turk" "cen-
tralized power" "unbought pen and the won
drous power of honest poverty" "aristOcratic
tendency and mOneyed control" but we quote
them as being after all the most significant
portion of the letter, since at its close Mr..
Wallace says " an organization based upon
business principles is the only road to the
success Of our opinions"
What does he mean by can organization
based upon business principles Y We need not
90 so far back as jefferson for an answer.
The year 1867 is remote enough In that
year Mr.. Wallace sent circular to all the To-
cal Democratic organizers throughout Penn
syivania, Offering so much apiece for every
Democratic vote they could poll in excess of
the standard Democratic vote of the district.
The price was 50 liberal that labOrers
were brought into the State by car
loads and shunted off at various polling places.
As they could not vote without naturalization
papers, bogus ones were supplied, and the fer
tile genius OF Mr. Wallace invented the process
of giving these papers the appearance Of age
nv soaking them in coffee. These facts were
revealed by an investigating committee, and
their publication fixed upon their hero the
appropriate title OF "Cotfce-Pot' Wallace,
which ne bears with shrinking modesty to this
day. This was an application Of " business
principles" to politics which has never been
cQuallcd il was indeed accurate, earnest and
systematic attention to details He believed
in the plan then, and if he believes in it still
it is natural he should wish to give it another
Trial. What we are unable to understand is
why he should call the fresh experiment a
Jefersonian Revival" and intimate that JEFF
fcrson taught him the trick. That looks to us
like false mOdeSty
