is 1T NOT TIME TO THINK?

it has charged that the water supply
is insufficient. In this proposition
we have been endorsed by those who
have gone to see for themselves. Mr..
Holman, the resident manager, has
nothing to do with this state of
| affairs. He cannot make it rain
and the evidence is plain that he can
not increase the supply in the rescr-
voir or storage house when there Is
nothing to increase it with. The
GLOBE believes that Holman is com
petent and capable, and we know
that he has done all within his power
to give US a good water service.
This much as a fact and a prelude to
something which every city official
and taxpayer should give heed.
In the fire this morning it was
demonstrated beyond any question
that there was no water force. That
those who held hose we're obliged to
shake it, as you might q d~renching
bottle, in order to get water, and
after that the result "a OfnO benefit.
The city pays for water; the peo-
pie Of the city have been assured and
re assured that their property was
safer with q water service-but it
seems that buildings generally burn
down. The fire company is not half
paid for its work; it has no decent
apparatus-and all the city has done
recently is to buy a special electric
alarm and what of that?
Last night it was left for the loco
motive engineer on the r. & D..
tracks, near the East Durham Cot
ton factory, to give the first alarm of
ire-and then this was taken up by
the electric light house. The police
men of Durham, who are supposed
to be on their beats at that hour of
the morning, failed to see what a
locomotive engineer saw blocks
away. How was this? This was
not lack of water-it was certainly
lack of something else. But after
the locomotive engineer saw the
fre-iIluminating the whole coun-
try for miles around, then it was
that the water failed of its mission
and stables and buildings were
burned to the ground.
What sort of a city government is
it that will continue to allow this
business to 90 on? Some of the
members of the council want to do
business, and some do not. The
universal opinion of citizens is:
That the pay of the water company
should be stopped until q decent
service is given; that police officers
who were supposed to be on duty at
that hour should be at once investi-
gated and explain their conduct and
tell of their whereabouts; that the
whole management of the fire COM
pany should be o~verhauled.
The boys of the fire company do
more than their dutv-all know
that.
We care nothing of the statement
of individuals who have lost-they
are sore, and right they should be

ENTHUSIASTIC ENTERPRISE

From the Atchison Champion.
The fact that two drummers were on
the ground taking orders, among the
earliest arrivals at the Okarche TOWNSHIP
in the new territory recently opened in
Oklahoma, has been fayorably COM
mented on by several eastern newspa-
pers.
Great is American enterprise, and the
fittest representatives OF that energy
which knows no rest are 10 be found
among the ubiquitous and anything but
standing army of "drummers." What n
typical and distinctively American pic
ture it all makes, A nascent town. nude
of all human handiwork the arrival Of
a trainload of boomers, the frantic
rush from the cars, and excitability of
eager multitudes unfortunately plant
ing stakes to secure small lots al low
rates. The calm exterior of two men,
probably equipped according TO the
latest styles and Respondent IN spotiess
shirts, and, possibly, silk hats, concea!s
an inexpressibie ability to caIole and
persuade the homeseekers that they are
lost unless they give an order for goods
of the finest quality and the cheapest
prices ever offered in the market.
Only Americans can imagine such
scene; only those who have witnessed 1t
can realize it from the most vivid de-
scriptioas. For the ordinary stald Euro
pean the whole affair savors strongly OF
madness. What outlet Is 10 be found
for this ebullition OF efferresence when
the Indian shall have vanished and all
his reservations shall have been absorbed
by the omniverous white man 1t is diff
cult to foretell. Possibly by that time
science Will have solved the problem of
aerial navigation aud have arranged for
tie colonization of districts In the clouds.
More probably liie process Of evolution
will have modified these transports OF
enthusiasm and demonstrated tie fact
that land can be obtained at profitable
prices within the area OF the country
already open TO the men OF civilization.

THE ALIEN LABOR LAW EVADED

Immigration Inspector S. c. Osborne
of New York has finished an investiga-
ton among the coal fields of Pennsyl-
vauia regarding the alien labor employed
at the mines, and says that but per
cent of the miners are citizens. The bal
ance are Poles, Italians. Slavs and Hun
garIans. 1.-THE mine owners" he said,
"can get all of the foreign laborers
they want without violating the alien
contract labor law. Whenever mine
owner desires more men he goes to his
agent or broker and tells him to secure
a gang of miners. The agent goes
among the foreign miners and secures
from them the names of any of their
friends across the water who are desir-
Gus of coming to America. Steamship
tickets, costing $12 80 each, are given
the miners, and they are told to send
them to their friends. Thus are the for
eigners brought over without any
trouble and without violating the letter
of the law" This evasion of the law is
the most prolific source of trouble in the
mining district named, which is rarely
ever free from strike or lockout or con-
tention of some sort between mine own
ers and operatives. The defect in the
law can certainly be remedied, and it
should be, and enforced. Our system of
protection, as well as simple justice, de-

There is one southern state, South
Carolina, in which the Alliance seems
to hold pretty firm cinch upon the
Democratic party. The Alliance ele-
ment in the Democratic state conven-
ton this week controlled the action of
that body in the construction of the
platform and choosing of the delegates
to the national convention. But in all
this it is conspicuously noticeable that
firm allegiance to the Democratic party
is maintained. In Georgia, where so
much has been claimed for the Alliance,
it played a moderate second-fddle; but
there, as in Carolina, it proved loyal to
the old party. Nevertheless, the Incl
dents and conditions down there will
afford the third-partyites in the northern
states all the encouragement they desire.
Verify, IN political maneuverings, the
southrons are no dolts.

The floods in many localities and
sections are doing havoc scarcely equaled
heretofore. And while the excessive
cloudliness in the great Arkansas valley
for two or three weeks past gave the im-
preston that we, too, have had sur
felt of rain. but the record shows the
precipitation to have been less by half
than for the same period last year.
Fact is, farming operations in the valley
have not been seriously interfered with
and, while the growth of vegetation has
been somewhat retarded by the cool
weather, prospects generally for good
crops were never more promising than
at the present moment. This is espe-
cially true of the wheat crop. Farmers
uniformly declare that this crop is as
near perfect at the present time as it is
possible to be. Therefore, while we
sympathize with the unfortunates in the
scourged localities we have abundant
cause for rejoicing and self-gratula-

Archdeacon Farrar has offered new

memorial to James Russell Lowell in

over this news than will be tie friends

that the intruder clause would meet Sc
rlous objection. At meeting of the
senate committee Boudinot and Buffing-
ton, the Cherokee delegates. spoke in IA
vor of the bill as introduced. Through a
series of questions put to the two dele
gates the senate committee drew from
them the fact that the Intruders. whom
they desired removed, were not mere
handful of iawleSs people, but a host
numbering Is. 600 who had gone into the
territory in most instance upon the
imitation of the CherokeeS, and
had Tor many years been pursu-
ing peaceful ayocatioHs. OF course the
proposition TO remove all these people
when fully comprehended by the senate
committee became too absurd for serl-
ous consideration. 1t was stricken from
the bill by unanimous vote of the COM
mlttee. This change put it in shape TO
be acceptable to the senat but the
house objections We're vet TO be over
come, so after considering the question
for time Mr.. Harvey hit upon the PLAZA
of striking out the appropriation and m
sorting in lieu thereof clause providing
that as fast as the land Is paid for by the
settlers the money shall be placed TO the
credit of the CherokeeS. BoudIDot and
Burlington were consulted, but before
agreeing to the change they telegraphed
for Chief Harris. The three consulted,
and finally agreed to accept the amend
ment if certificates of Indebtedness We're
given them. Such has been the history
of the bill up to the present day. The
changes made will necessitate ratifica-
ton by the Cherokee council, or by the
people of the Cherokee nation, and as
the intruder clause was one of the pet
ideas OF the Cherokees. it is quite prob
able that they would hesitate, even
should the bill get SO far on It's tedious

WAGES AND HONESTY.

Jaeger, the fugitive cashier Of the
arrested in Egypt, whittier he had fled
with his mistress. 1t turns out that he
took the /, 700, 900 marks, which was the
amount of his endorsement, in two
Jumps, drawing 100000 marks from
another Frankfort firm three days before
he left, and taking 100000 marks in
notes from the safe the evening of his
flight, leaving II, 100000 marks in the
safe untouched. People will not SYM
pathize with the Rothschilds much when
they learn that this cashier, who could
check in their name for over $500, 900
and had free access to a safe containing
over S2,000,0 900, drew the meagre salary
of only 5000 marks, about 81 900 year.
To prevent such temptations in future
the firm has raised the salary of JaegerS
successor to So, 900 a year, and increased
the salaries of other employees from 80 to
rs per cent.
This increase in the pay of employees,
while still leaving their compensation
far below that paid for similar service in
in this country, was but reasonable
thing to expect, under the circumstances.
And yet, ample as it may seem to those
receiving it, it will not deter some other
person from committing like offense
should his inclination lead him in that
way, and convenient opportunity pre-
sent itself for so doing. Innate propen-
sity for gain prompts much larger per
cent of entertainments, otherwise thefts,
than necessity, real or imaginary.

The following pathetic story is related
in connection with the terrible collision
on the Big Four lines, near Clevcs, O.,
last Sunday morning:
zone of the never-to -be-forgotten
scenes was the death of Acting Baggage
master Gibbons. He fingered till after
noon, conscious all the time. He had a
young wife that he had kissed goodbye
but an hour before. All his grief and
all his talk was about that young wife.
In the agonie5 of death till his tongue
was stilled forever he spoke only of her.
Again and again he begged some one to
pray. AT last, in response TO his plead
ing, an old cOlored minister stepped
tmidly TO his bedside The dying man
beckoned the sable man of God to go Oh.
Then and there, as the feryid petition
arose from the trembling lips of the
colored divine, there was a scene of
solemnity that none present will soon
forget and none ever experienced before.
His words seemed 20 the deeply-moved
listeners as if they were inspired, and
silent tears wet every eye"

A Check is Not Payment.

From the Kansas City Star.
In affirming the decision of the circuit
court i'll the case of II. f. Hall against
the Missouri Pacinc Railway company
the court of appeals yesterday declared
that "a check is not payment for debt,
but is only so when cash is received for
it. The holder of the check Is only the
agent of the drawer to collect the money
and If dishonored there is no satisfaction
of the debt" The case is one arising
from the Nathan grain failure more
than year ago. Hall d Robinson sold
Nathan several cars OF grain, turned
them over to the Missouri Pacific com
pany for shipment, deferred invoices
and bills of lading 10 Nathan and re-
C ived checks for them. The checks
were dishonored at the bank aud Ii. f.
Hall brought suit against the Missouri
Pacific company 10 regain possession Of
the grain. The circuit court decided in
favor of Hall. The court of appeals
affirmed IT.

1t seems that the most horrible crimes
committed in America are i'll Arkansas.
The people, if the criminal is colored
mete out to him punishment of a short
order; but if he is a white man of high
standing, especially if he is defaulter
his punishment is delayed or not admin

that state are justifiable. if lynchings
ever are justifiable, while others are
simply the result of overweight pas

THE Voice, as Musical Instrument,
Affected by Disease" was the title of a
paper read at the Nebraska Medical So

of Omaha. He said the voice was not a
current of air, but a vibration Of air,
and was of the opinion that most any
body could sing by the training of the
voice if it were not diseased.
