The motive for the action was stated
to be in order that there might be COM
plete harmony between her and her
husband and no bar to their perfect
love. This is a mistaken view of mar
ried life and conjugal happiness. 1t
implies that there cannot be perfect
confidence and love between husband
and wife without absolute identity OF
belief and opinions on all subjects. In
other words, it implies that there must
be no individuality on either side. This
is a romantic view of the marriage reia-
ton, but not o correctone Areasonable
man and woman can live together happily
as husband and wife without eithcr
sinking or merging his or her individ-
uality in that of the other. 1t is not at
all necessary that husband and wife
should think alike on all subjects; not
even on the important subject of re-
ligiOn. 1t Is better that they should
sometimes agree to disagree, each
recognizing the right of the other to his
or her own opinions. There arc very
many cases of Catholics and Professionals
living together happily as husband and
wife, and there is no difficulty in main
tanning such a relation if the parties are
reasonable and really love each other.
Love conquers all things.

IT a nc longer be said d erisively
that a modern war ship cannot be built
in a government navy-yard, under the
direction of government officers, and by
workmen paid directly by the govern
ment, since the cruiser Raleigh, which
was launched on Thursday, was built in
the Norfolk yard, because the bids
made by private contractors exceeded
the estimates of the Navy Department..
1t is interesting to note the development
of such ship construction in this ceun-
try, as the fact that the Atlanta and
Boston, built about five years ago, and
of about the same tonnage and general
character. have a speed of fifteen knots
an hour, while the Raleigh has what a
landsman would call q nineteen-knot
gait.

A RETIRED admiral of the British navy,
who is now in New York, claims to have
discovered that electricity Is transmitted by
rays of light. and he thinks his discovery
Is the missing link in the correlation of
forces. The mechanism be employs to DEM
onstrate his idea is very simple. Between
two instruments. one charged With cleo
tricity and the other not charged, he places
a candle. The lighting of the candle IN
stantly charges the second instrument.
From this fact he infers that electricity is
transmitted to the sun. from the earth and
other planets, on the rays of light. and
thus repiepishes the force given off in
light. 1t has long been q subject of specu-
lation among scientists as to what consti-
tuted tho source of the suns hight and
heat. and why. though perpetually giving
these of. its supply was never exhausted
or appreciably diminished. This alleged
discovery suggests an explanation of the
problem. II electricity is transmitted by

motion. transmit il in untold quantities to
the sun. thus forever replenishing its light

THE removal of Mr.. Evans from the
position of public librarian is a plain
and fragrant disregard of public in
terests and public opinion. He is
thoroughly competent for the position
and very much the best librarian
the city ever had. His professional and
literary attainments are such that it has
been a good advertisement for the city
to have such a librarian. The move
ment in the board against Mr.. Evans
was founded in petty spite, narrOwness
of views and a deliberate ignoring of
public interests. The members who
voted for his removal, each and every
one, deserve a vote of public censure.
They are Messrs. Buddenbaum, Conner.
Carver. Williams and Baker. Their
course is entirely unjustifiable.

A New Use for Corn.
PERCY DANIELS.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
The papers tell us there has been
erected at Peoria, ILL.,, at cost Of
sos, 900, plant to manufacture oil
from the germ of corn. The plant
is owned by the proprietors OF the
sugar works of Peoria, who say there
are no similar mills in this country.
There are such mills in Italy, France
and Hungary, and the oil made by
them is used in the manufacture of
fine soap. The part of the corn not
yielding oil is made into glucose.
The effort will, no doubt, be
watched with great interest by the
producers of the Mississippi
Valley. If it is as successful as its
producers hope, it will open up a
new and useful avenue for the con-
sumption of corn, and thus increase
the demand and the price, perhaps.
1t is important i'll another respect.
Soap is an article of universal use,
and upon its purity often depends
health and life. Soap produced from
vegetable oils is naturally freer from
dangerous poisons than tina, pro-
duced from animal fats procured
from doubtful sources, and almost
always from animals affected with
disease. sometimes of the most loath-
some. The old is constantly giving
way to the new.

The political clap-trap Dy w iiIci'
small fry politicians on the side OF
the ms try to whip timid people into
supporting their party by means OF
scares as to the consequences OF a
change, by threats, or at least pre-
dictions of calamity if their side be
! defeated, receives substantial set
back by the weekly review of trade
published by R. G. Dun Il Co., in
which that firm says:
"No important change appears IN
the condition of business. The dis
tribution OF products continues enor-
nous, production by manufacturers
is greater, on the whole, than in any
previous year, and the general tone
of business and industries is remark
ably healthy. In speculative circles,
however, some apprehension of mon
etary pressure at no distant day ap-
pears, and some fear that the Wash
burn anti-option bill may be passed
at the opening of the session OF
congress in December is felt in the
operations on boards of trade. In
spite of this, the trading in cotton
has been the largest ever known in
any week, but in other products,
stock dealings have been moder-
ate"
1t is satisfactory to know that
speculative circles are having some
"apprehensions" which are curtall-
ing the rashness with which they
seek to pocket, unearned, the pro-
ducts of other peoples toll, and
that they "fear" that the anticipation
bill will pass.
1t must, by this time, be apparent
to every candid observer that this
country is tt o well established, and
that it's institutions are too firmly
implanted to leave room for any
well-grounded fear of widespread
disaster from sudden and extreme
changes likely to be made by vote
of majority of her people. An
old saying has it that revolutions
never go backward" 1t is prob
able that by many political revolu-
tions successive improvements in
our government machinery will be
made, and that, in the aggregate;
they will tend to both promote and
equalize the general prosperity, and
thus fulfill the purpose of the found
ers of our institutions. Neither the
national nor the state political revo-
luton need cause a moments anx-
iety to any one engaged in honest
industry.

representing the party OF all blame.
In Kansas, however, there were
many nominations made which, if
they were not responsible for the de-
feat, were decidedly the wrong men
to lead in fight to return the party
to power. We might name several
that are utterly characterless, and it
was in the interest of good govern
ment that they were defeated. Then
there are others whose records are
good enough, but whose persistence
in office, and in bossing and manip-
ulating, had rendered them mere
empty chestnut shells. They will
have to give way to some fresh
blood. Wichita Eagle.
