TACOMA World: Advertising is mnch
like insurance. 1t is an essential of
modern commercial life. Yet it is not
one upon which certain calculations OF
profits can be made. The ordinary adj
vertiser feels when he pays advertising
bills much as the ordinary man who is
insured on either life or properly does
when he pays premiums or assessments.
OF course, the large advertiser and the
heavily insured make advertising and
insuring part of their business, and do
not regard it as loss or hardship to
pay for them. 1t is demonstrated fact
that advertising and insuring pay on an
average as we'll, or better. than any 9TH
er money expended in business. The
successful business man is always lib
eral advertiser because he knows it pays.

THE AGRICULTUR4L EyHJBJT

The department of agriculture has is
sued circular intended to refute the
criticisms of the agricultural exhibit of
the United States at the Paris exposi-
tion. American visitors TO the exposi-
tion have uniformly stated that the ag-
ricultural feature was the weakest part
of this country's contribution to the
great fair and far from being cred
liable to us, but this opinion
is not sustained by the
facts presented in the depart
ment circular. Some of these
consist of the expressions of correspond
ents of European journals, which highly
commend the American agricultural ex-
hibit. Thus the correspondent of a Lon
don paper said that no section of the ex-
position possessed greater interest to
British farmers than that devoted to
the agriculture CT the United States,
and he speaks of it as display that
must have involved much patience, care
and discrimination on the part of the
collectors. The exhibit received gen.
erous attention and commendation from
the French press, but perhaps the most
satisfactory and concla asive evidence
that the exhibit was not so bad as repre-
sented and far from being failure is
the liberal number of medals award
ed to American exhibitors.
The showing is gratifying, and yet in
looking over the list OF articles for
which awards were made it is found
that the agricultural exhibit was not so
complete as it might have been. The
most serious omission was that of one
OF the great staple products of the
country, corn, a full exhibit of which
was more TO be desired, and it is be-
lieved would ultimately have been of
greater benefit TO the country, than that
Of any other of our agricultural pro-
ducts. There was an opportunity to
show the people OF Europe the value of
corn as human food that ought to have
been taken the fullest advantage of, and
the failure to do so was grave mistake,
since another equally favorable chance
may never be presented, or at
any rate not for many years.
We cannot hope to make
amend for tins mistake at our own ex-
position three years hence, for the
reason that We shall have no such num-
ber as Europeans to interest in the
matter OF visited Paris. There were

They Shoot Down Their Superior
Officers and Escape.
New YORK, Nov. IA City Of Mexico
special says serious mutiny occurred among
the escort on the up train from Vera Cruz
Tuesday evening. A corporal and four
prlvates attacked their superior officers Sc
verely wounding lieutenant and killing a
sergeant outright. The affair occurred just
after the train had left Appaco. and the OBJ
ject of the mutineers, who were forced re-
cruits, seems 10 have been to stop the train
and escape. When the train was almost due
at Soltepec the mutlneers climbed on the
engine with view to forcing the engineer
to make halt. The engineer was an Amer
lean and the fireman Mexican, and both
were heavily armed. Seeing that they would
probably fail in their attempt. the ring
leaders jumped from the train, but so un-
skiilfully that one was run over and cut in
two and the other four all more or less In
iured. They succeeded, however, in getting
away. On the arrival at Soltepec detach-
ment of rural guards surrounded the Car and
dsarmed the remaining mutineers, who were
secured and taken to the City of Mexico.
1t is understood the men who escaped have
since been captured and brought to the city
of Mexico. IL is probable that the whole
party will be tried by courtmartial and shot.

waiter A. LeeSe, temporary clerk OF the

the states property in the office he has been
called upon to fll Bailff Lobingier is at
work on the state library. When questioned
as to the progress of the work by The BEE
representative. Mr.. Leese said:

"N-o, but I'm bound to know what prop
erty I've got to account to tho state for when

The invoice was ordered on the day that
Mr., Leese took charge of the Office and the
order was given quietly. Some of MIR.
BroWn's friends took radical exceptions to
this, and asked that two assistants be ap-
pointed to aid MIR. Lobingier in making the
invoice. AS there was seemingly no dlsposi-
tlon to do this rush was made to the office

merrily along. Tho assistants appointed and
now at work with the baliff are in the inter

You don't expect Mr.. Leese to take any
unfair advantages of the late management of
the office, do yong querried The BEE man
OF one of MIR. Browns confidential friends
and advisors.
No; but we propose to look out for
breakers. There has been so much sand
about the management of the supreme clerk
and horarlan's Office, the income, Deputy
Wheeler's disclaimers. inquiries by legisla-
tive assemblies and the like that we can't

Tor twenty years and grappe with the de-
tails OF 1t in three or four days, and for hlm
to attempt quiet invoice without calling for
assistance is not only cheeky but presump-
tuous. There is no occasion for move of
this kind, and we propose that there shall be
no mysteries and that everything shall show
up right as the invoice progresses"
MIR Loblngier, what were your orders
relative to the invoice now IN progress?"
II was ordered to assist In invoicing the
Nebraska reports or the books sold from

"Who are assisting youN
"On the part of the estate, Mr.. J. S.
Bishop and MIR. G. p. F'isherdick. The at

the Hova government Is preparing 70 declare

costly war, prolonged through several sea-
sons, was France able TO establish this pro
tectorate, and the queen OF Madagascar, or
the queen OF the Hovas, as the French per-
sist in calling her, was finally induced TO
make peace only by the moderation OF
French pretensions. Hardly had the new
arrangement bocu consummated before dis.

independence. In the former trouble, when

manded the native troops, the Hovas had
succeeded in anufacturing their own cart
ridges and even, IL is said in casting cannon,
as the French ships kept the island closely
blockaded. Perhaps, however, tho present
quarrel may be smoothed over as preceding
ones have been. Experience has taught the
French the policy Of making some conces-
sions in Madagascar, rather than go to the
expense of war.

General Daz, president of Mexico, came
into power in 1876, as on advocate of the one
term principle, which was soon afterward
definitely established by an amendment to
the constitution made for that purpose. 1t
was still possible, however. for president
to be reelected after one intervening term.
and this happened to General Diaz, who,
after Gonzales had held the Office four years,
from 1880 to 1884, was chosen again. His
second term proved as valuable to Mexico
as his first, and for the sole purpose of keep
ING him in office. the constitution was re-
amended by striking out the old restriction,

frankly said: SIN the event of its becoming
necessity for Costa Rica to unite with any
foreign power it would be far better for her
to be annexed to tho United Statesn The
fatal obstacle in the way of the senor's pro-
gramme is that the United States does not
want Costa Rica. 1t would be much better
for all the Central American states to join in

TERRIBLE TALE OF SUFFERING.
Trouble and Starvation Drive Poor
Woman Insane.

NEW YORK, Nov 1.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. Mrs. John b. Baron, wife Of a
French tailor, has been taken to an insane
asylum, her mind wrecked from trouble and
starvation. Her husband was obliged to
give up work three weeks ago and so to
Bellevue hospital, where he Is dying. The
loss of his wages left in destitution his wife,
twin children, another baby and his aged
moiher-ln-law. Everything was pawned for
food except the sewing machine and rickety
stove, two chairs and a crib. With little to
eat and nothing to hope for, Mrs. Baron fell
a victim TO melancholia. She refused food
and gave 1t 10 the children. Yesterday she
was seized with conyulsions and
nearly suffocated it. The old
grandmother, weak from want OF food,
struggled with the crazed mother and finally
released the infant, but not until it was
black in the face. The infuriated woman
then grappled with her mother and throttled
her. With difficulty the two little children
released her fingers, when she turned upon
one of the boys, six years old, and nearly
choked him TO death before the screams Of
the children aroused the neighbors.

IS CoBURN A SAFE MANI

10 CObUhN n DaFb MAN
Mr.. Coburn's uuiitness to continue as
sheriff OF Douglas county Is not alto
gether owing TO his partiality to dan
gerous prisoners, but in his leniency
toward habitual law-breakers. Mr..
Coburn has always kept his eyes closed
and his ears stuffed when the state laws
have been set at defiance right under
his nose.
He has allowed road houses to run
riot in the two-mile limit; he has never
attempted to do his duty by suppressing
prize-fighting or any other brutal sport
forbidden by the laws. His most ardent
hackers to-day are the dangerous
classes-the toughs and thugs and
keepers of road houses and bad re-
sorts throughout the county. A man
who will not do his duty without fear or
favor in enforcing the law has no busi
ness in the sheriff's Office.
Another and equally serious objection
is his membership in the school board.
In that position he has wrought meal
culable mischief and positive damage
to our schools by using the patronage
Of the schools and his influence in
awarding contracts, purchasing school
sites and supplies, to personal and po-
litical supporters and using the patron
age and influence of the sheriff's office
with its numerous bailiffs and favorites
to manipulate school board nominating
caucusses and elections.
In the hands of q man like Sheriff Co.
burn, the power exerted through his
double capacity as sheriff and member
of the board of education becomes posi-
lively perniclous.

THE BROAD.GAUGE VIEW.

In dealing with the question OF q via
duct and union depot project property
owners and business men generally
should take the broad-gauge view.
Nobody contends that the railroads are
entitled to dollar of subsidy from this
city for any needed improvement they
may make here, and nobody will deny
that we have been crippled ana our
growth retarded by the failure OF the
Union Pacific to carry out Its original
contract with this city.
1t is not question of past damages
now, but of benefits to be derived. Con-
M. roads will be obliged to give US bet
ter depot facilities at some future time,
the question is whether we can afford
to deprive ourselves of the ad-
vantages that will accrue by the
immediate construction of the Tenth
street viaduct and union depot.
Reduced to mathematical problem the
one hundred aud fifty thousand dollars
by settling the terminal and transfer
controversy at once. Will not the
building of this depot and viaduct be
worth three times one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars as an advertise
ment abroad and as Il lever for booming
Omaha real estate values, by the mo-
mentum given through the raising of
the traffic embargo, and the removal of
the impediment to travel in and out of
Omaha without danger, discomfort and
harassiug delays.
In other words, will the one hundred
and fifty thousand dollar bonus de-
manded by the union depot company
prove n paying investment to the tax
paying property owners and rent-paying
business men, on whose prosperity de-
pends the income of the real estate
