The indianapolis Journal, John c.
News paper, does not look with favor
on an increase in congressmen's salaries.
1t says: This is an era of rather hard
times and close living, and the average
citizen who works hard and lives close,
and lies awake nights. to make his 50 900
or $4,000 year, will be slow to under
stand why congressman, who receives
three times as much, should need an
increase. The people know the average
congressman is well paid now. While
some may be worth more to the country,
and could earn more in private life, the
majority could not The plea of hard
work and poor pay does not go. After
ali is said, if they find their compensa-
ton inadequate, they always have the
North American privilege of resignrng
and giving some other fellow chance
TO starve." All of which is true to a
dot, but coming as it does from a man
who has just received an appointment
that is worthy anywhere from twenty
five TO fifty thousand dollars a year, will
make the average congressman feel like
saving damit.

The whole world may be against
man, but the woman who loves him will
stand boldly forward as his champion.
No matter how vile q man may be, if a
woman loves him she exalts him to the
rank of a demi-god and refuses to see
the clay feet of her idol. When he is
forsaken by all she still clings to him.
When all others frown she still smiles on
him. and when he dies she adores and
reverences his memory as that OF a
martyr of circumstances. God help the
man who in time of trouble has not a
true and loving woman to stand by his
side and help him through LIES bitter
struggle! p. S.-This does not apply to
politics, except when fellow has been
downed. In no other situation, how
ever, is woman's coincidence more need
full,

LIFE'S LESSONS

AS we see in grassy meadows
Farther On greener spot,
So we live, eypectaDt always
OF some time happier lot.
Ever looking in the future.
For a better time TO come.
Days drift by. half sun. half shadow,
Till our weary years are done.
Always Just enough of pleasure
To keep down the hearts despair.
Thinking, in tomorrOw'S sunshine,
We will find no shadow there
Every life is heavy laden
With a weight or care or woe,
And the world has many heroes
That the world will never know.
Now and then a star comes flashing
Across the level OF a life
That has been all uneventful
Save in sorrow and IN strife;
And 1t sees its own hearts giadness
In the lingering trail of light,
Though the darkness thickly follow
Still the memory keeps it bright.
Slowly losing youths illusions
As each heavy year goes by,
And we taste the Sodom's apple
That but leaves the heart more dry,
Leaving less of faith and courage
Till the starving heart is DUMB:
Heavier grows the gathering shadow,
Family CLEANS the setting sun.
Day by day we learn life's lessons,
Lips shut in the hidden pain.
Weary faces ali around US
Tell of aching heart and brain.
Ever looking in the future
For happier time TO come,
Days go by in sun and shadow
I'LL our weary years are done.

To the Democratic press of Kansas:
Congratulations are in order. The Kan,
sas State Journal of Topeka has joined
the ranks of Democracy. The reasons for
this change are given out to be too much
corruption in the Republican party. 10

That sounds kind o funny and 1t is,
withal, questionable compliment to the

port of the said Republican candidate

What's the use OF talking about the
civil service law applying to officers who
are removed, he said IN the senate dur
ing a wrangle over Presidential ap-
po.ntment. That law guards the en-
trance TO office, not the exit. The
simple fact is, tha. the Republicans are
in power, and are entitled 10 name ,heir

civil service law protecting the fellows

GERMAN UsURPATIoN IN SAMOA.

From recent dispatches it seems that
the condition of affairs existing between
the natives of Samoa is entirely discred-
liable TO the authorities who are respon-
sible for it. Whether this has been the
result of a prearranged plan between the
German and English governments-as
has been strongly stated by the Auck-
land Herald, which charges in plain Ian
guage that England has bartered these
islands to Germany through tonculency
to Bismarck-will be hard to prove, but
the coming arbitration will, it is hoped,
throw some light upon this point. 1t
does seem, however, to support the greed
of some German merchants on the ISL
and, great wrong has been committed
upon the natives themselves.
1t is stated IN these dispatches that a
small handful of men. about 600, are
being sustained in power under
the ostensible head of the
usurper Tamaseee, while the
bulk of the natives under >Mataala are
held in temporary subjugation by fear
of German guns. There seems to be no
question of the result, if this system of
terrorizing was not used, as these island
erS are in favor of the deposed Malieota,
and would quickly reinstate him as their
king had they the power to do so, This
course would probably not suit these
grasping merchants, but that is no ex-
cuse why a wrong should be continued
against helpless people, We trust the
coming conference will develop the true
facts in this trouble, and that no trifling
fear of consequences viii initiate against
a firm and continued insistence by this
government that her rights as a nation
be respected, and that justice be done
the Samoan people.

Same Old Crowd Again

Same Old Crowd Again.
CHICAGO, June 20.-The books of the
Chicago National bank were called for
by the Cronin grand jury this morning,
and an hour was spent examining the
comparing the dates of certin checks
with the dates of Sullivan's operations
on the board of trade. Charles W,
Green, grain broker. was called to the
stand and testified to the little he knew
regarding the speculations of the Irish
leader. He was unable to state the ex-
tent of Sullivan's transactions, but did
not think that ne was very heavy loOser
in the final wind-up. Tim RYAN.
ex-driver of the patrol wagon, testified
to the row in the Clark street saloon.
wherein Coughlin and O'Sullivan were
arrayed upon the same side, and at the
termination of which the former threat
ened that prominent Irishman on the
North side was soon to be done up. The
s'prominent Irishman" was presumed
to be Cronin. Timothy Garrity testified
to Coughlin's intimacy with the various
other suspects, and to his frequently
expressed animosity to CrOnin. Stephen
Connolly Jr. stated that Cronin had

discovery of a plot against him, in
which Alexander Sullivan and Tim
Cream were accomplices or In

man of Revell & Co., was called

HELENA, Mont, June 20.-News was
received tonight of most brutal
crime committed in what is known
as Judith county, about $50
miles north of Helena. The news was
brought by the driver of a stage line
running from Fort Benton to Living
stone, who says that on last Saturday
the body of middle-aged woman, who
had been shot in the back, was
found by a cowboy in wild
and unfrequented spot on the
Judith river. Coroner's inquest devel-
Oped no information as to who she was.
On Tuesday the bodies of two men. a
sixteen-year old girl. and six-year old
female child were discovered about
100 yards from the spot where
the first body was found. The
men were about six feet one
inch tall, weIe we'll built
dark hair, boards on faces and dressed
in good dsrk clothes. The elder girl
was rather tall and slim and had light
hair. The six-year old girl wore ear
bobs and a gold ring on
her finger. All were shot in the
back except the child, which was
strangled. Near by were found the re-
mains of trunks burned, and camp equi-
page destroyed. Everything by which
the ladies might be identified was de-
stroyed. The only
CLUE TO THE MURDER
is furnished by Mr.. Huson. a WOOL
grower who lives near where the
bodies were found. About seven or
eight days ago, Huson was out riding
and saw man with team of dark bay
horses and another team tied behind the
wagon. HuSOn started to meet the man
when the stranger left the wagon and
went about hundred yatds to meet
HusOn. The stranger said he was look
ing for location and thought he would
camp on the banks of the Judith for
while. Huson, after talking, left the man
and went home. Nothing was ever
seen of man or team afterwards. but
wagon tracks led to the spot where the
bodies were found and turned back over
the same trail. Nobody in Judith county
can recoganlZe the bodies found. They
are all supposed to have been emigrants,
either from Iowa or Illinois. The
whole population of Judith country is
aroused and hundred horse
men are securing the coun
try seeking the trail of the
murderer. The officers and citizens of
Fergus county are sparing no pains or
expense in the search. The place where
the deed was committed is 100 miles
from the railroad, which it is supposed
the murderer is trying to reach.
