The failure of the little Morse ship
Viking to put in its appearance at New
port at the time scheduled for its arrival
is causing considerable anxiety Since
Thursday sharp lookout has keen kept
for the craft. Several steam yachts have
cruised out to sea in search of the Viking,
without result. 1t will be remembered
that she was reported at Newfoundland
two weeks or so ago. 1t is the opinion
now that the crew went ashore for a rest
at some point in Newfoundland at which
there is no telegraph station. Among
those on the lookout at Newport is re-
porter, who came all the way from Chris
tiana to send to Norwegian papers &C
counts of the trip across.

y breezy western congressman, finding
1t somewh1t difficult to GUST a woman
postmaster in his district, whose place
he desires for a friend of his, has ad-
dressed the following fetching communi-
cation to the postofice department: 81
want Mrs. --, postmistress at -, in
the county of --, and state of -. to
be removed for the reason that she has
an mruly temper and the tongue &C a
virago. No fish woman that ever lived
can equal her in vituperation. and the
good people who have to visit her Office
for mail hold her in holy horror. In her
place please appoint Miss -, whose dis
position is as sunny as the present incum
bent's is~sour, whose voice is like a silver
bell, and whose sweet smile would have
brought balm to the heart of the wretch
who kept inquiring for the letter which
never came" Inasmuch as there is no
offensive partisanship" in a sour dispo-
sition, even when possessed by a repub-
hcan, it win be interesting to note the
tn effect of the congressman's appeal in
behalf OF the smiling angel.

We Maiden of To-day.

To see the ocean roar and fret
The only thing that maiden said
Was: My how disagreeably welt"
And when upon Mont Blanc she gazed
Her soul knew not the slightest awe
And by this comment was dazed- ..
The cutest thing ever sawl"
But when 1 took her to the play
A play with laughs in every line
Twas then heard that maiden say:

And when wrote a rOndo light,
And in her white hand placed nv rhype.
She seemed to be empowered quite,
And as she read 1t cried 'Sublime!"

Ex-senator Blair, who is a mem
Der of the House, is in Washington
in the capacity of pension agent. In an
interview he says that under the Raum
administration "the old soldiers got their
deserts, but no more. This talk about the
pension roll not being a roll of honor is
one of the grossest libels ever uttered. 5"
Somebody ought to tell Mr.. Blair about
that two-corns pension.

There appears to be general disposi-
ton on the part of Washington CORE
spondents to refer to the people injured or
killed in the disaster at the Ford theater
as the ''victims Of congressional economy. 3"
1t is said that there are other public build
ing in Washington left by congressional
economy" in condition almost as dan
gerous as was that of the old theater 1t
is to be hoped that economy having such
disastrous results will not be practiced in
future. And when the public buildings
come to be considered, it might be well to
remember that adverse reports have
frequently been made against the white
house; not that it is in danger of tlrm-
bling down, but that it is in a VIGOROUSLY
unsanitary condition.

Senator Vance's wild step-son, Harry

Col. Paul Means, counsel for the Rich

Means, 1t is said, used profane language

1t Is somewhat remarkable that, so soon
after James Gordon Benefits visit to
America to arrange his property in such
shape that in case of his death there
would be no post norton squabbles over
its division, he should be the victim of an
accident that may result fatally. 1t will
be remembered that a few weeks ago he
announced his intention of transferring
the New York Herald to a stock company
in order to ''prevent the interference of
politically biased courts" with its man
agement after his death.

The fact that the government is responsible
for the catastrophe at Washington makes
the neglect all the more surprising mex
cusable and criminal. The least it can do
now to atone for the great wrong is to make
proper compensation TO the living sufferers
and the representatives of the dead victims.

True to- their record the republicans

the very sight of blood suggests votes,

for votes is made apparent by publications

denies that he said any such thing, or
anything like it. Yet, Notwithstanding
his prompt and positive denial, it may be
expected that the republican press of the
country win take up the story and ring
all the changes on it. Those who know
Mr.. Dunn personally say that he is in

A Federal veteran sneaks.

Comrade j. A. Joel, editor of the Grand
Army Gazette and National Guardsman,
published in New York, is waging a Wig
orous warfare against "bass-drum edi-
tors" "Hessian journalists" and pension
frauds. COmrade Joel's own record as a
soldier and as pensiOner is impregnable,
hence the return shots of his enemies are
harmless. The transcript of his pension
certificate reads: Twenty four dollars
per month for gunshot wounds of right
leg, right arm, right shoulder, right hand
and lung resulting in total disability,
such as to render incapable to perform
manual labor, equivalent to the loss Of a
hand or foot" This shows that Joel was
at the front when the fighting was going
on. He was not cumming or Jumping
bounties. He was a soldier, and is a
manned veteran, therefore he is compe-
tent to speak for the real soldiers and de-
serving pensioners of the late war.
Comrade Joel, in recent issue of his
paper, pays his respects to John A. Cock
Grill, editor of the New York Advertiser,
the most venomOus south-hater and one
of the most clamorous unlimited pension
advocates in the country, in this Ian
guage: ''Mr. Cockerin never Joined the
Grand Army of the Republic. He knows
nothing about it. Furthermore he never
had kind word to say aboutthe veterans
when in St. Louis. He has been q
journalistic Hessian these many
years. Mr.. Bass-drum
Founder Cockerill, the valiant non
combatant and Hessian journalist, has
not scrupled to lie about us in the past,
and doubtless his alleged conscience will
permit him to do so in the. future"
Such language, published by grand
army paper, should have the effect OF
silencing Editor Cockerill's claim that he
speaks for the G.. A. r. But it will not
Editor Cockerill is not sensitive.
The editor, by the way, is known as
"Col." Cockerill Editor and Comrade
Joel says the sum of his service in the
war consists of pounding a bass-drum in
the band of the Twenty-fourth Ohio regi
ment and doing some little odd Jobs about
a hospital. Comrade Joel calls him a
hospital rounder," which will probably
be understood by old soldiers. AS far as
the title is concerned, Comrade Joel saws
he has not shadow of right to it. It is
interesting to know these little things
about Col" Cockerill, because he of all
others refuses to quit pounding his bass.
drum" against the south, although more
than quarter of century has elapsed
since veterans like Comrade Joel quit
| fighting.
On the subject of pensions Comrade
Joel is sound. He has been fighting fo1
! pension reform in the line of Secretary
Smiths recent ruling for years. 'Tht
law" he says, ''wil1 now be carried out
without fear or favor, many fraudulent
pensions will be stopped and the army OF
pension sharks driven. from. one of their
retreats" COmrade Joel has been and is
doing good work for the deserving vet
Grams and the welfare of his country. We
salute him May he long draw his pen
sion.

1t is q coincidence in Kansas history that

United States senators-Senator John Martin
and ex-senator John J. Ingalls-originally
settled when they entered the territory and

his lot with Tecumseh in Shawnee county. a

Three years ago, according to the CEN
sus figures furnished by Mr. Porter, there
were in the city of Charleston Il, 1855 more
inhabitants than there were in the city
of Savannah. Since that time there has
been no count of noses, except by direc-
tory men, in either city. But the post
Office department tells US that during the
year ending March 81 last, the people Of
Charleston paid into the local postofice

people Of Savannah paid in 1914 494 40,
These figures indicate unerringly that
Savannah has either caught up with and
passed her neighbor in population, or that
she is doing 20,to 40 per cent. more bust
ness, or both. Porter said Savannah had
a few over 43 900 inhabitants three years
