It is these outsiders or hangerson, who are always
pressing for admission where they are not wanted
who plead for free theater tickets and railroad passes
and whose ignorant talk about newspaper mon and
their ways prejudice many good people against the
honorable ambitious Woodworking class known as
newspaper reporters If the Reverend Snyder gets
his just dues he will be denounced by every newspa
per in the country that doesn't regard his recent
action as beneath its notice and win find the columns
of reputable newspapers closed to him from hence

IN some parts of the country losses by aood and in
other parts of the country losses by hurricane are
much more mminently liable to happen than losses
by fire. Every householder in such q region would be
glad OF the chance to insure himself against such
loss by small annual premium. The statistics are
now attainable which would show approx nutely what
the risk IS and at what rate it would be prudent for
underwater to assume the risk This would be
much more respectable way of reducing the risk than
waiting until the calamity has happened and then
asking Congressto relieve you with the public money

THE fact is there is for but two parties on the
tariff question if that is made issue. The protect
i've principle belongs to party and absolute free
trade to another. When the issue is squarely made
there will be honest fight and not till then. The
Republicans stand for the protective princ-
pie in the American tariff. and there
is no room between that doctrine and free trade az
the question stands. Carlisle. Morrison and
Hurd have attempted TO find room with their present
bill, and they have simply produced monstrosty
which invites the opposition and ridicue Of men who
really believe in either principle-kansas City Jour

FROM the very beginning Of our history Americans
abroad have often suffered without redress such ill.
treatment is seldom encountered by aliens from
other countries Spain is q notorious offender against
international law. The Russian government is not
overscrupulous about the rights Of former subjects
who have become Arnericanized. England
has not quite forgotten her former impressment
of seamen from ships of the United States In Mex
leo, since the new invasion began. Americans have
been arrested and confined for long periods without
trial The public would be glad to learn what Seere-
tary Frelng huysen is doing about these unfortunate
occurrences.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

so long as terrorism and outrage are permitted to
dominate Southern politics. there can be security
for orderly lawful and honest Presidential election
Just so long the Northern voters will be playinp
against antagonists who have stocked the cards.
This consideration is wholly apart from that of the
cOuntIys duty to protect the coored citizen in the
enjoyment of his political rights, which must be recog-
nzed But the too.fastidious contemners of the
bloody shirt in politics must sacrifice the very
senee Of al Pontc acuon IN order TO o2Jan standing
ground for their eccentric doctrine. Those on the
other hand who realize the duty of protecting the
coored voter and of securing to the North the just
potentality OF its suffrage will accord the proper
weight to the evidence of Southern lawessness and
political usurpaton,-New York Tribune.
WHATEVER water forest land loses through the root
action of the trees, is more than overcome by the d
minution of evaporation We're this not the case tho
ground i'll forest would be always dier through the
summer than ground unprotected by such covering.
Anyone, however, who has ever been in forest and
kept his eyes Open knows that the ground there is al
ways moist and the underground luxurant while open
fields are pa-cheG with drought and crops there lam
before the laws of evaporation well understood
now there general and widespread belief still
heldby many persons that rain actually falls upon
the forests than upon open ground This however is not
the and the greater dapness of forestclad land
is due alone to the greater capacity for absorption of
such soil and that mechanical protection from evapo-
ration which it gains from the forest-New York Sum-

DIsraeli some time before his death held to Glad

Wis holds to our government the relation which Kos

BILE assumption that an official tribute of respect to
those personages from powerful and friendly nation
would have been suppressed without respectful
official statement of the therefor sent through
the regular channels. 1t is not yet apparent how we
may best resent this nsoence frora the German ty-

reasonably certain that the affair will be permit
