There is to-day no government in
Europe that is stronger than that OF
France. Not onlyare its opponents in
the minority but they are hopelessly
divided among themselves. The var
ious pretenders, Don Carlos, the Comte
de Paris and Prince Victor, can each
muster buta handful OF followers. and
even could they combine their forces
they would not constitute a danger to
the republic.
1t has been demonstrated time and
again that the republican government
can keep order and that it desires
peace. There is now no room for o
savior OF society" in France, and the
old plea that France must throw her
self into the arms Of dictator because
she cannot govern herself has been for
ever silenced by the record OF the last
twenty-one years.

The arrest in Chicago Of the president
and vice-president OF the high-sounding
National Capital Savings, Building and
Loan Association makes public expos
ure Of another OF the swindling con-
Germs that have had no trouble to find
dupes wherever they have looked for
them.
This swindle was operated to some
extent in the South, but principally in
the West. Shareholders we're to get
loans to enable them to build homes and
business houses. The returns were to
be large, OF course. The capital stock
was to be S2O,Oo0,OO0. One Of the pro-
motors who was smart enough to get
away is thought to have pocketed at
least $4,000.
There is probably not a community
in which this concern operated that has
not one or more building associations
managed by men well known to every
shareholder. So Of the savings banks.
But these home institutions were too
slow. They could not or would not lie
fast enough. When the representatives
Of the lon2.named company came along
they caught the popular fancy with
theirswindling scheme.
The idea OF building association on
anational basis has been made very
captivating In the hands OF honest
business men, 1t might be made sue
cessiul; yet after all it has no advantage
over the local association, which is to .

ELEcTRIcIrY N THE LOCK.
To Shock superintendent Shepard When
he Would Put u Key In.

HARrFoRp, Coxx., Aug. l.. George A.
Waddell, Of New York, was recently em-
plosed rs electrician by the IL. and W.
street railway. lie did not get along
well with Superintendent Shepherd.
Last week Waddell built room about
twelve feet square in the carhouse and
put up sign to the effect that this was
his laboratory, and the superintendent
was ordered 10 keep out OF the room, US
well rs every one else.
Mr.. Shepard had key to the room.
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Barrett, of
the Barrett Storage Company, heard
Waddell say to man that II the super
intendent tried to get into his room
again he'd get something he wouldn't
like. Mr.. Barrett made an investiga-
ton and found that Waddell had rugged
up an electric circuit through the key
hole OF the door, so that MS soon as key
was inserted the person holding it
would receive q shock of five hundred
volts of electricity.
Waddel asserted that he meant no
serious injury. He was discharged and
has left the city. No warrant has been
issued for his arrest.

Nor EXAcTLY ORDINARY.

An ingenious advertising dodge is to
be found in Paris. Small pointed paper
bags, something like those grocers
twist up, have been noticed on the
pavements. These, when opened, have
been found to be handbills, which
would never have attracted any notice
unless curiosity had prompted some-
body to look and see whether there
could be anything in these old screws

A Point orcrlnoked.

What sort of respect can other law
breakers or the men under him have
for chief of police who has run such
course as wheeIing's chief of police has
run? This is a consideration entirely
overlooked by the committee on police.
That committee gave the officer "a
chance" almost before it was asked.
There was no thought of giving the
city q chance. The chief of police will
never arrest man or woman who
would not promise to reform on a
comfortable salary.

degree under the eye not only Of every
shareholder but as well OF everybody
in tho community in which it operates.
When the national building associa-
ton scheme was. newer the lSTELLl-
oExcsa warned lie readers against it,
much to the disgust of Representatives
Of aforeign company who were on the
ground to work this field. There was
no special reason to suspect the hon
.esty of that company; the warning was
based on sound general principle, and
was in the nature of the ounce Of pre-
centton. Subsequent developments have
vindicated the wisdom Of that view.
II is good policy to keep the little
savings at home where they can be
watched. It's also good policy to keep
out of these philanthropic schemes
which promise SO much for SO little.
What the Police Committee Missed.
Tho Council committee on police had
an opportunity to have profitable talk
with the, chief Of police while he was
asking. the clemency which the COM
mittee intended to grant.
He might have been asked whether
his pledge to discharge the duties Of
his Office in compliance with the Law
was understood by him to cover the
execution of the law against the gam
blers, who have things about their own
way in Wheeling and arc commonly
supposed to pay for the accommoda-
ton; whether the traffic arrangement
with the Sunday saloons is to be bro
ken; whether .thereis to be any more
attention paid in the future for good
purposes to houses OF bad repute than
there has been in the past.
The committee might also have asked
the chief OF police where he thinks he
will be on next election day; whether
he thinks he will be on duty to preserve
the peace, or whether he expects to be
laid up where only the knowing ones
can find him. The Democrats OF the
committee might have askedEim wheth-
er he thinks he will take interest
enough in the election to como out Of
his retirement and vote.
II the committee had not been in so
great haste to shed tears over an officer
who had disgraced everything he could
disgrace it might have had profitable
interview with the chief.

Her Image on the Tombstone.

MENDOZA, ILL.,, Aug. 1l.-Mrs. Ralph
shatler died last spring and was buried
in her mothers lot. So great dislike
did Mrs. Shaaer have for her son-in-

the stone, and though the mother has
sought several times to have itremoved

WISE WORDS.

The parlor is the matrimonial market

Are you man or woman, or are you
part of the public?
Do not grow old; it is both unneces-
sary and inexcusable.
There is no perfume like a fresh turned
furrow in the spring.
TIE trouble with the crank is that he
will turn only one way.
The lark rehearses not and men do not
catch the secret of his singing.
There is more good common sense in
the French duel than in any other kind.
Children warm the world; there is a
wintry landscape in a graybeard's face.
Carving white pine goods boxes with
pocket knife is profession and not a
trade.
Tire are two ways to forge ahead, and
young men are frequently getting them
mixed.
He said, "Gcod morrow, neighbour"
and II wish you we'll" And l said,
"Canst lend me gold2" And he babe
me goodbye.
Learn your business thoroughly. Keep
at one thing; in nowise change. Always
be in haste, but never in a hurry. %
serve system in al you do and under
take.
Labor and pluck are the invincible
heroes who win success; they strike out
new paths, create, contrive, think, plan,
originate, take all legitimate risks, toll to
surmount obstacles, push forward, and
win renown by success. The glorious
galaxy of successful business men and il
lustrious authors have all been hard

Canine Sagacity.

The following story comes from Stone
Lake, Ind: GA gentleman living Oh
the banks of the lake has a small spaniel
dog that is the pet of the family. A
neighbor owned vicious English bull
dog that seemed anxious to fight and
kill the little spaniel at any opportunity.
Strenuous efforts were made to keep the
dogs apart, but through the thoughtless-
ness ofsome little children the dogs met
on the banks of the lake and the little
spaniel began his fight for life. He
adroitly managed to get the bulldog to
the edge of the water and then get Tim
where he had to swim. After this dis
play of intelligence his battle was a
good deal more than half won, for he
had the bulldog at his mercy and in a
very short time had him drowned. -
