HUMBUGGERY.

The Chronicles Chicago correspondent
says that all the Western Commissioners
want NJ. H. de Young for First Vice Presi-
dent of the Worlds Fair Commission.
While that want has not been very clearly
expressed we presume that it exists. At
least we presume that TO the extent to
which Mr.. de Young is the Western Com
missioner it is a long felt want 1t is a
little odd, however, that with this want
uppermost in the minds of the Commits
sioners they should have assented to an
arrangement which precludes the election
of Mr.. de Young to the coveted office. That
arrangement is that the Commissioners
should elect Republican and Democrat
alternately until the list of Offices should be
filed. This done, they proceeded to elect
ex-senator Palmer of Michigan to the Of
fee of President AS Mr.. Palmer is Re-
publican the First Vce-President must be
a Democrat. This, the Chronicle assumes,
lets Mr.. de Young out. There are people,
however, who do not think that Mr.. de
Young is Republican enough to make him
ineligible to a Democratic Office. He can
without doubt offer evidence that he did all
in his power to elect Mr.. Hearst to the
United States Senate. 1t was his journal
that created the disaffection in the Re-
publican party which gave the especial
friends and admirers of Senator Stanford
an excuse for forcing him, much against
lis will, TO place himself in antagonism 10
Mr.. Sargent, who was regarded as the Re-
publican candidate for Senator. Rumor
has it, and Mr.. de Young may have proof
that in this case rumor is correct, that Mr..
de Young's journal will not support Re
publican Legislative candidates this fall
except upon the condition that they shall
not vote for Mr.. Stanford for Senator in
case they are elected. 1t is a pity that
partisan affiiatiOn of this slender charac-
ter should stand in the way of Mr.. de
YOung's ambition. If all the Western
Commissioners are anxious TO elect him
First Vice-President may they not on this
occasion put him down as Democrat with
as much justification as on other occasions
he has been put down as Republican?

EDI1OElAL NOTES.

Secretary Tracy will soon invite Ameri-
can ship-buiders to bid for the construc-
ton of the three battle-ships authorized by
the Naval Appropriation Bill. These will
be fine vessels with displacement of 5000
tons and minimum speed of fifteen knots.
They will be protected by a heavy belt of
armor $50 feet in length and 17inches thick.
The turrets will be of 18-inch armor and
will be provided with 13-inch guns. These
vessels are designed for coast defense and
will be equipped particularly for this ser
vice. England is also considering plans for
the latest addition to her fleet, 4 first-class
fighting cruiser Of 1900 tons displacement
and talks of speed Of twenty-five knots.
In fact, the nations of Europe and Asia
seem to be nearly all plating the con-
struction of additional war vessels, Japan
falling in at the end of the column with a
contract for q new man. of-war on the lines
of the Chiyota, which will be constructed at
Glasgow.
Efforts are now being made to adjust the
indebtedness Of Virginia. When the war
ended the State had an Indebtedness of
S45, 0C0.000 An attempt was made to fund
this by assigning a third of it TO West Vir-
ginia as her share and 6-per-eent bonds
were lSSueu III lUt IelHdlUueI, Dul III was
soon found the taX-receivable coupons an
nually maturing exceeded the revenues by
81, 10000 For the thirty years, from 1860
the State has paid in principal and interest
1923, 100000, and there remains outstanding
in the hands of creditors who did not ac-
cept the terms of settlement proposed in
1882 about S27 100000. of which S2O,0oO,C00
is principal and 81 SOC. 900 is interest.
Kemmler and his counsel may consider
electrocution "cruel and unusual" punish
ment. but what would they think of the un-
usual spectacle of ling-chi recently wit
messed at Canton, the culprit being young
man who had murdered his stepfather. He
was dashed to a cross, when the executioner
proceeded to cut off his nose, slash his
cheeks, hack small sections out of his arms,
legs and back, finally stabbing him to the
heart and cutting off his head. The execu-
ton was such revolving one that an artil-
lery officer from Hong Kong tainted at the
sight.
CigaIette-smokers might find it dangerous
to visit some sections of Japan. Recently
a large vessel loaded with coal oil was I'M
loading at Yokosuka, and as precaution-
airy measure signs were posted warning all
of the danger of smoking, a necessary re-
hinder considering the nature OF the sur
roundings. A coolie was discovered smok-
ing on the vessel, whereupon an excited
policeman, according to the report, seized a
block of wood and Drained the smoker on
the spot.
The Earl of Carnarvon, whose death is
reported by cable, will long be reeollected
as the one who developed and framed the
plan for the confederation of the British
North American colonies. When Parlia-
ment considered it in 1867 he made an elab-
crate speech explaining the provisions of
the measure, which was approved by both
Houses, the result being the Dominion Of
Canada.

A CURIOUS ERROR.
How Missouri Man Secured Mail Con.
tract al 81 Year,

How Missouri Man Secured n Mall Con-
tract at 81 Year.
The cutlery raised by so many demagOgues
against the enforcement of an educational
test of fitness for admission to the public
service receives most interesting side-light
from the case of Moses Pendergrass of Lib
ertyville, Mo-, for whose relief a dill is now
pending in the Senate. Pendergrass de-
Sired in 1887, to become bidder for con-
tract for carrying the mails from Knob
Lick to Coffman, No., a distance of fifteen
miles and back, three times week, and over
six miles of the route six times week. His
inability to read and write caused him to take
the blank proposal to one Rudy, the PoStmas-
ter at Knob Lick and a Justice of the Peace,
who filled it out for him and prepared and
witnessed the necessary bond by which two
friends of Pendergrass obliged themselves
in the sum of S1400 to see that their prin-
cipal lived up to his contract. Pendergrass
wanted to make his bid $500 year, but the
Justice, who appears to have had but an
Indifferent education himself, wrote i'll the
tour and left the hundred out. Neither
Pendergrass nor either of his bondsmen
discovered the error, and when the twenty
four bids were opened they were found TO
range from $500 to 81. The next lowest to
Pendergrass was bid of S317.
Everything being satisfactory, the de-
partment asked no questions, but accepted
the first quarterly settlement was made and
he received a warrant for S1.43 Tor his con-
tract service and some extra duty put upon
him, that he became alarmed and got ready
to write a protest to the department in his
behalf The papers were overhauled and
the blunder discovered. Pendergrass mott
fed the department that he should with
draw from the service, and his contract
was declared forfeited. OF course, this left
not only himself-his investment in the
necessary outfit being considerable-but
his bondsmen also in a very awkward sit
uation. To save all parties as much as pos
Sible Pendergrass had continued his daily
trips after the discovery of the error till a
new contractor could be found to take his
place, an interval which stretched his
whole service TO nearly years duration.
He is now in search of relief. In order
that the Government shall be secure against
loss, it is proposed to pay him what would
have been the balance due if he had taken
it at the rate offered by the next lowest
bidder-S3IT -Chicapo Herald

There was a collision on Howard street,
near Second, on Friday night, due to the
carelessness of the driver of a truck, who
crossed the track directly in front of car

pole of the wagon crushed in the front of
the dummy, and two men who were on the

being injured. Special Officer Harrington

1t seems as though he had some contro-

finding common argument wanting in
effect, used the handle of his gun over
his opponents head. Fined $40 and
cost, which he paid.
Pat. McAuliffe, a section hand, was
arrested for disturbing the peace and
fined $40 and costs. He paid the same
and went on his way rejoicing.
Jim Hays was arrested for plain
drunk and will work two and half

Permanently Located.

Having procured and fitted up a
room in the Masonic building for a
permanent dental Office, l cordially
invite my friends and the many citi-
zens of Caldwell and the surrounding
country, whom l have not yet had the
pleasure of meeting, to call on me. l
am among you as a friend who is inter
ested in your welfare and comfort and
will gladly counsel with any who may
call. My motto is live and let live.
The very word Dentist, as associated
with the past. carries with it fright
full dread and cold chill, which per-
haps it justly deserves, but the won
derful revolutions which have taken
place in the dental profession are fast
robbing it of its horror; and the modern
improvements applied with skill, and
thorough knowledge of dentistry makes
operations comparatively painless.
Slight operations, combined with the
use of the tooth brush and mouth wash
by the patient, make mouth giving
evidence of being u ncared for, inexcus-
able; and such mouths ere long will be
associated with general uncleanliness
seen only in the lowest walks of life.

Death Of Chas. e. Hammer.

1t is the sad duty of THE TRIBUNE
to announce the death of Chas. Z.
Hammer, who departed this life We'd
nesday, November q, at 11:3O. o'clock
p. M, a victim of typhoid fever. He
was sick but a short time, and the news
OF his death was surprise to all. In
the prime of manhood, being about 80
years of age, strong, robust and healthy,
Charlie Hammer was the last man who
would have been picked upon by men
four weeks ago, as the next victim of
the grim reaper in our midst. Honest,
generous, open-hearted, brave, and fair
in all dealings with his fellowman, his
death will be universally deplored in
Caldwell.
Mr.. Hammer came to Caldwell last
spring from HALEY; where he had re-
sided for about three years previous,
moved his family here and prepared to
make this place his future home. He
had entered business and was doing
well, but death checked all. He leaves
a loving wife and two children, who
have the kindest sympathy of all.
The remains were inferred in Canyon
Hill Cemetery yesterday, at $3.50 p. m.
