A Lively Street Fight-Notes and Per-

COMPTON, Oct. 7.-Compton was thrown
into furore of excitement yesterday
afternoon by a rough-and-tumble scrap
between two of our well-known business
men.
The trouble originated with some boys,
who threw dirt from the top of build
ing on one of the participants Of the
fight.
The facts are hard to get, but we will
undoubtedly be enlightened when the
boys trial comes off next week.

A Phosphorescent Tree.

A large willow tree on the bank OF
Tan run in Frankford fell over recently
and developed into natural curiosity.
The inside Of the tree, which has been
dead for several years, was found to be
a mass of phosphorescent light known
as fox fire. As darkness came on and
the curious phenomenon was discovered,
hundreds of people gathered, and as
many as could get around the old trunk
went to work with hatchets and knives
to secure specimens Soon the ground
around was strewn with small chips,
which glittered like SO many little stars.

A hailstorm visited Pawtucket about

THE Philadelphia Press makes the
suggestion that in order to remedy the
excessive telephone charges congress
ought to put the American Bell TeIe-
phone company under the purview of
the Interstate Commerce commission
and require first reports and next super
vision of its charges. The suggestion is
a good one, admitting that it is practi-
cable for the government to assume the
regulation of the telephone company,
and of course this will be questioned.
The complaint of exOrbtant telephone
charges is general, and if the Bell mo-
nopOly is to be allowed to prOlong
its existence under the Berliner patent
some means should be found to give relief
from its exactions. If the government
shall succeed in demonstrating that the
patent under which the Bell company
hopes to prolong its monopolistic career
was flaudulently obtained that will
bring the needed relief. but the outlook
would be more hopeful if it were not for
the fact that Massachusetts man is at
the head of the Department of Justice.
The telephone interest eXert5 an intlu-
ence in that state which has heretofore
enabled it to carry everything its own
way, and it will not be surprising to find
that it has some potency with Attorney
General Olney.

THE CoMMIsSIONNR or TENSIONS.

The appointment of Judge LOchren OF
Minnesota as commissioner of pensions
is generally commended. He is himself
an old soldier, having gone into the war
as Il member of the First Minnesota
regiment, and his military record is
highly honorable, though he did not
attain high rank. Although demo-
crat he was appointed to a judgeship by
republican governor and was twice re-
elected. His candidacy for the COM
missiOnership was endorsed by the re-
publican legislature of Minnesota.
These facts indicate that he is not an
offensive partisan. 1t is understood to be
the intention of the administration to
make Il thorough revision of the pension
rolls, and if this task were committed to
a man who, like the secretary of the in
terror, was not a soldier, and might have
little interest in the welfare of the vet
Grams, it is easy to understand that there
would be Danger of much injustice being
done. a man having no common SYM
pathy with the old soldiers would be
very likely to sacrifice them in the n-
terost of his popularity with those who
are demanding a radical change in the
pension policy of the government 1t
will therefore be reassuring to the vet
Grams to know that one of their
own number, with an excellent
record as soldier, and who has alway
heartily sympathiZed with those who
were deserving and justly entitled to
the bounty of the government, will have
in charge the work of revising the
pension rolls and separating the worthy
from the unworthy. Nobody doubts
that there are persons receiving pensions
from the government who have no claim
TO them, and justice to worthy pension,
ers and to the whole people demands
that such persons shall be dropped from

THE assumption that state officer

THE assumption that a state officer
cannot be impeached for misdemeanOrs
committed during previous term is
delusion. Preccdents of officials i'm
peached for misdemeanors committed
during prior term are quite COM
mon. In our own state David
Butler was impeached and con-.
victed for misdemcanor committed
in his previous term of office, although
that point had been distinctly raised by
his attorneys at the outset of the trial.
There are also a number of precedents
for the impeachment of ex-ofiicers for
misdemeanors committed while they
were holding office. Impeachment of
this class of offenders is, how
ever, question of expediency, be-
cause the main object of impeachment
is to depose recklessly negligent and
corrupt officials whose retention in
office would jeopardze the safe keeping
of public properties and management of
state institutions under their care.

IT is gratifying to learn that Secre-
tary Morton does not intend to abate the
effort to introduce corn to the tables of
Europeans, but on the contrary proposes
to push the work more energetically
than has been done in the past. His
predecessor unquostionably did all that
was possible under the circumstances
and with good results, and if Secretary
Morton can improve upon it he may rest
assured of the hearty support of the
corn producing states. The secretary of
agriculture has some very practical
ideas ON the subject, one of which is that
we need TO send to Europe a
greater number of competent cooks,
who can give instruction in
the best methods Of preparing corn for
the table This is certainly very inn
portant, 1t appears from the express
sions OF Secretary Morton that he has
full confidence in the ultimate success
of the effort TO educate the people of Eu-
rope to eat corn, and there is good rea-
son for this feeling, though it is to be
expected that progress will continue to
be slow. 1t is work, however, that
will richly repay all it will cost if finally
successful, since such European demand
for American corn as it is hoped can be
created would, as the secretary of agri-
culture says, make for our farmers one
Of the most profitable crops We now pro-

4 CAUTION no 0orEnvon rRoUysh.

CAUTION TO GOVERNOR uRoUNSh,
IL is 10 be hoped that Governor
Crounse will very closely and carefully
scan every itcm in the appropriation
bills that wcru placed on his desk during
the closing hour " tho session, The
chances are that designing parties may
have caused the insertion Of appropria-
tiCus that were not voted or cOncurrcd
in and there Is possibility that some
of the figures in these appropriation items
have been expanded 10 order Such
things have happened before and are
more than likely to have been perpe-
tratcd Saturday night after the
chairman Of the house enroll
ing committee had departed and
parties not entirely trustworthy or dis
Interested had access TO the enrolling
clerks. The constitution expressly en-
powers the governor to veto any item in
the appropriation bill and the governor
should not hesitate TO run his pen
through any questionable appropriation
or item that has been raised. Wherever
any doubt exists as to the concurrence
of both houses in any appropriation II
comparison should be made with the
records and original amendments APP
pended TO the bills. Such II process may
save the state many thousands of dollars
and nip any scheme of raiding the treas
ury in the bud before 1t is consummated.

Progress OF Ballot Reform.

The years work in ballot reform is the
passage of Australian ballot laws in Kan
sas and Alabama and the amendment OF
some of the laws already in existence. Con
necticut is considering the substitution of
the full Australian system for the defective
method now in use in that state; Maine,
Rhode Island and New Hampshire have
added few minor amendments, and in sew
eral other states amendments increasing the
efficiency of these laws will doubtless be
adopted The Florida democratic organs
are urging the adoption of the system i'll that
state and the repea of the present election
law. The method now in use in Florida is
the separate ballot box system which is bor-
rowed from South Carolina. In two years
time il is probable that every southern state
will conduct it's elections on tho Aus tralian
plan.

SOUTH CAROLINA has a unique law,
passed by the last legislature, and to go
into effect July next. 1t requires the
state to assume absolute control of the
purchase and sale Of all liquors within
its limits. A commission, of which the
governor is the head, will appoint the
saloon keepers in all the cities and towns,
a majority of the voters of which may
apply for their appointment. Every
barkeeper in the state will be salaried
state officer and will turn all his re-
ceipts into the state treasury. The gov
ernor and the state liquor commissioner
have been to Kentucky contracting for
a supply of bourbon made in that
state and of course they arranged
to get the best. The commits
sioner says that the liquors that will be
supplied the people of South Carolina
under the new law will be superior to
auy they have ever used, and he was
doubtless selected for his position be-
cause he is connoisseur. This unique
legislation was the result of bitter con-
hict between the liberal element in the
state and the prohibitiOnists, the latter
finally cOnsenting to the adoption of a
measure that would break up the saloon
traffic and secure to the rest of their fel-
low citizens better qualities of liquors
than they have been accustomed to.
The experiment of state carrying on a
| liquor business will be watched with GU
| rious interest.
