A SMALL RISE
A Statesman IN Trouble.

Tom Ochiltree, of Texas is a member
OF the next Congress by the grace of rem
ubliean votes. His last public Office was
that OF United States marshal. When he
was relieved of that position he left the
modest little deficiency of S12, 600 i'm his
accounts and the government has iude-
ment against him for that amount. Be
ing lnsolvent Tom has paid no attention
10 this little account until lately, and had
ne not been elected to an office which
gives him the right to draw salary. the
presumption IS that be would have let the
government whistle for it's money. Tom
after the 4th of March would be entitled
to draw his salary as Congressman, were
1t not that there is an imperative law
which prohibits any money being paid
out OF the treasury 10 a person Indebted
TO the government until the iniebtness
Is pad OFF So poor Tom is in trouble He
sees that his entire salary for two years is
likely to be covered in the treasury. His
supreme Indifference has changed into dis
tressing anxiety, But as usual in such
cases he now claims that his defieiencvor
debt is not real but only technical and
grac1ously offers the government $500
and call it square. And it is said that the
government officials are seriously consider
ing his proposition. As Tom would have
nothing to live on during his term as
Congressman, no doubt the republican ac-
counting officers will be compelled to de-
eide that the de t is technical and let
him go with the compromise offered For
our part we should be distressed to see
Col. Ochiltree forced to resign his seat in
Congress because he could not get any
money with which to pay his board and
tailor bills. But this party should scorn
the proposal to wipe out his debt to the
public treasury on 'ftechnicality' Since
the republican matchmaking committee
spent so much money in getting the fes-
tive Colonel elected, it ought to take up
a collection to keep him in clothes and
food while he represents the principles of
he grand old party in Congress.

A Baby Show from B ngor.

Lewiston (Me.) letter: There was IA baby
show on the passenger train from the East
Saturday forenoon. A women got aboard at
Bangor. with an infant one yearling and a
2-year-old. The infant had bottle attend
cd strictly to business, and had all the bus
mess it could take care of and was docile
and happy. The other too Youngsters were
loaded with gingerbread and cookies: taffv
and carmels were piled on them till each
one face was as brown and sticky as mo-
lasses pOultice. There was no soothing syrup
IN corn balls, prize packages or anything
IN the train boys basket fer them. They
ran their candy smeared hands over each
others towheads till each individual hair
looked like a waxed end. They threw the
caramels on the floor and fought with each
other for the tin box. The one who captureb
it tried to eat it. They refused to be comfort
ed unTill they had spilled half the indust-
rIous babys milk on the car floor. Then
they threw two or three cookies into the
puddle and began to kneed the mass with
their feet. They daubed their little shoes
TO the ankles with this dough They tried
climbing over the car seats for amusement
Soon a young man with the prevailing
tight pants and short coat came in and sat
down. He sat on something soft and adhe-
sive He suddenly got up and backed out
of the car. By this time the yearling and
the 2year-old were both bowling and try
ing to pick up the few spears of down dis
cernible on the infants pate. The mother
kept cool and administered doses of taffy
and gingerbread at proper intervals. When
they left the train the two seats they oc-
cupied resembled the Maranocook picnic
paAilion after a big excursion.

Dogs Rifiing Graveyards-HorribIe sto-
 ries of Atrocities.
 LOUISVILLE, April 12.-The worst story of grave deseeration ever printed is: being brought to light. The undertaken who buries paupers here puts the bodies in rough wood en boxes, digs a grave not more than three feet deep, puts three cofins into it so that the upper one is barely covered with earth, and considers his duty done. Then como the body -snatchers, "every night" as one man describes it, who steal nearly all the bodies except those of persons who die from infectious diseases-whieh they seem to know about-and these persons have become so careless that the empty cofins are frequently left on top of the ground. In any case the rains wash the earth from the boxes, and sometimes horrible dogs dig them up to make feasts of the remains, and several times hogs have got in and rooted them up. Once the body of a negro who died with smallpox was dumped on the ground and left without ceremony, and was found by somebody rolling about the ground, gnawed by dogs. Of course the potter's field at all times has horrible stench, and the smell that comes is actually SO sickening that one wishes the graves would be robbed without exception. The abuses have been going on for several years.

After his arrest he was re- fused permission to see anyone or 10 have any newspapers to read, and was treated more like condemned criminal than any thing else.

China Preparing for War with .apan.
 BERLIN, April 12.-The large orders given by the Chinese government to German man. lecturers for arms, ammunitions and vessels of war have attracted general attention, and other facts which have just come to light show that China has begun in earnest to pre- pare for war with Japan. To this is attrib- uted the resolution of the Chinese govern ment to establish permanent naval station in the Corea in order to prevent the Japanese from settling on the peninsula. The contin uous increase of the armaments of Japan, and probably the augmentation of the Japan ese navy this year at an outlay of 3,OO0,Oo0 yen, has evidently convinced the Chinese authorities that collision with that nation will eventually prove unavoidable.
