IN less than month after the
fatal bomb was thrown in the French
Chamber of Deputies the murderous
bomb-thrower, Valiant, was exc
cuted. There was no precipitation.
Every step leading to the guillotine
was decorous and according to law.
At first it was mystery who threw
the bomb, and then, after the man
had been discovered and identified,
he was given every reasonable oppor-
tunity to defend himself. France
sets herein good example to Amer
lea. Justice is largely defeated in
its effect by unnecessary delay, The
man valiant was typical anarchist.
He had no excuse whatever for his
act. He threw that bomb in the hope
of killing some of the national law.
makers, and that solely upon the the
ory that to do such murder would tend
to the disintegration of society, and
that such disintegration is the funda-
mental need of the people. This is
alike preposterous in its premise and
it's conclusion. The largest possible
destruction by that bomb would have
simply been a personal calamity, hav-
ing no effect upon the fabric of So
ciety. The only question from the
first was the measure of punishment,
capital or Imprisonment for life.
The man valiant reasoned well on
this point. He said that if he had
been sentenced to imprisonment for
life he would probably have been par
doued out some timei and then he
would have gone to making bombs
again.

SUGAR SENATORS.
Senator PETER ChrystaIizes
the Rumors.
as Resolution Provides for an Investiga-
ton of the Rumors Regarding Sugar
Speculation by Senators Even
Profit Figures Are Given.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March Ex-senator
PETER Pop, Kan has introduced resolu.
tion to investigate the rumors regarding
sugar speculation.
The resolution bears on the stories pub
ished in the New York papers that senators
we're involved in the recent sugar specula-
sIons. Some of the reports are extremely
grave in character, The story goes that two
democratic members of the finance COM
mittee gave out for publication tho state
ment that raw sugar was to bear an nd valo-
rem duty of 40 per cent, while graduated
scale of specific duties was to be placed upon
refined sugar, in such a way as to give che
7efiner an advantage of u cent per pound.
As result of the consequent rise in the mar
ket value of American Sugar Refinery stock,
1t is alleged that these senators, with three
other democratic senators who are not now
members of the committee, but who we're,
as the phrase is, "let into the DEAL" have
made a fortune within q few hours. The
rumor rs to the ono senator is so specific as
to alleGe that he made $6S,000 in two hours
Tuesday.

rnE season Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

THE season of observation-disclosures
loaded" is on. 1t was opened the
other evening at Decatur Sitting
down to a game of cards in the home
of his flancee young man took from
his pocket a revolver and, extracting
what he supposed to be all Of the
cartrides, laid it on the table, jocose-
ly remarking that it should be used
on the first one who quarreled. A
play made by the girl was questioned.
Recalling his former remark she jol-
ingly pointed the weapon at the
young mans head there was an ex-
plosion and her partner at cards and
intended husband was dead on the
floor. Neither "knew it was loaded. "
Human understanding cannot account
for the desire, strong in some people,
to carry a revolver. Much less can it
account for the uncomfortable pas
sion to "fool" with it. There was no
more reason for the young man to
carry pistol than to wear armor or
to wheel around with him a Hotch-
kiss gun. The sorrow which his deed
has brought on the girl will doubtless
serve, in her case at least, as an ever
lasting warning not to play with a
revolver, loaded or unloaded,

manufacturers and operators which
was formed last November. Under
this combine no threshing is to be
done at less than cents a bushel for
wheat and 81 cents for oats. The
plan of the farmers is to cooperate
in each neighborhood, a number of
farmers uniting in buying a machine
and exchanging works in managing
and running it. There will, how
ever, be a necessity for employing
some one skilled in managing the
thresher and running the engine. In
most eastern localities the business
of threshing is overdone. So many
engage in it as rapid way to earn
money that the season does not last
long. BY the time the machine and
engine are paid for both are nearly
worn out The threshing outfit costs
a good deal more than it used to do,
and prices for threshing as well as
the prices of grain have generally de-
clined below paying rates.

Careful Business Methods Prevail.

Is more business and larger production by
industries, for tho season has arrived when
greater activity is necessary if dealers in
jtocks are to be replenished, and those who
cannot make calculations beyond a few
months are the more anxious to crowd as
much trade as they safely can into these
months.
In some branches of distribution, however,
there are indications of a diminishing de-
mand for goods, and the evident preference
for medium and low priced articles, with the
known reduction in wages and family ex-
penditures, lead many to feel less confident
that business will soon recover its former
volume. Undertakings reaching beyond a
short time are not made with greater free
dom, and in spite OF larger present demand,
prices of manufactured goods tend down.

THE Governor Of Arkansas makes
and proves a serious accusation
against the Indian Territory, that
under its present government it is
the recruiting and organizing place
for bands Of train robbers, whose dep
relations are often reported in the
Southwest. Maps of the localities adj
jacent to Indian Territory have been
captured, showing the route bywhich
the robbers Travelled, both in going to
the lines of railroads and returning.
On these maps were time tables
showing when valuable trains were
due at points favorable for waylaying.
1t will be the duty Of Congress to
take action on this complaint. TO
make Indian Territory a rendezvous
for criminals is demoralizing alike to
the Indians and to all the whites in
the Territory, and the criminal
classes should be cleaned out for the
protection Of the mass of citizens.

Mrs. Hillmon was on the stand during the

of whether or not there was any oppression

PEOPLE who notice the increasing
diffusion Of knowledge among young
women of the humble class and the
steady advance in wages commanded
by good servants sometimes wonder
what posterity will do for servants.
The wonder is gratuitous. The ten
dency of mankind is to flock to the
spots where life is easiest and most
agreeable. The migration will go on
till such places are overcrowded.
Then the supply of labor will be in
excess of the demand, wages will fall,
and the number of competitors for
each vacant place will swell. In
other words, the tide which began to
flow when prosperity befell this coun-
try will ebb, in consequence of the
superabundance Of persons who seek
to share that prosperity.

CHICAGO HERALD; Dr. John Il.
Nagle, of New York, has evolved the
idea of a transcontinental boulevard,
with termini at New York and San
Francisco. The boulevard, as pro-
posed by the Doctor, is to be wide,
fine and we'll made, taking in many
towns and cities, giving the country
the grandest driving track In the
world. 1t is to be built by the gov
eminent and should be begun at
once, thus providing work for thous-
ands OF unemployed. The scheme is
not without virtue. A boulevard
from New York to San Francisco
would be one Of tho wonders OF the
world. TO the cities along the line
it would give a drive known only In
fairy tales. 1t would also, and here
is its greatest virtue, enable people
who cannot afford to ride to walk out
Of New York City.

PATENT COMMISSIONER SEYMOUR
has under consideration the publica-
tion of lists of patents that have ex-
pired within the past few years.
Such publication will open many
valuable inventions that now belong
to any who desire to use them. Large
enterprises keep posted as to the
time patents expire, but the informa-
tion ought to be made as public as
possible. 1t is also proposed to make
the patenting of articles more sim.
pie, giving one patent with as many
specifications as it devolves of new
ideas, instead of granting separate
patent for each idea. This will di-
minish the cost Of getting out pat
ents, reduce their number and make
it much easier to keep track of them.

Veterans in Homes Can Vote.

In the federal court at Wichita, Judge
Williams made decision of great impor-
lance to INDECENT old soldiers. He held that
inmates of soldiers homes, otherwise quail
fed, could exercise their franchise under the
constitution of Kansas at any election held
in the precinct in which the home may be
located. Judge Williams held that the con-
stitution did not contemplate soldiers homes
from the fact that the constitution was
adopted before such homes we're thought of.
! The decision renders the act of 1893 I'M
constitutional. The act expressly provided
that inmates of the Soldiers home should
not be allowed to exercise the right of suf-
frage while the home was supported by the
public expense.

TIE reconciliation of Emperor
William with his former prime min
lister is the most hopeful sign we have
lately seen. For nearly four years
those two have been estranged, and
many time the young Emperor has
needed the help and advice Of the
statesman whose abilities made Ger
many an empire, but whom he was
too proud to consult. Bismarck, too,
has chafed under his unnatural re-
tirement from public service. We
shall probably hear again from Bis
marCk whenever the threatening
condition Of German affairs requires
his help to set things right.

A DECISION by the Supreme Court
of Minnesota concerning commit
ment of alleged insane persons
should be gratefully welcomed by
the people OF that State instead Of
being made subject of ceAsure. The
court holds that notice must be
given prior to judgment in commit
ments under tire law for inclosure Of
the insane. The present law makes
it easy for conniving or ignorant
persons to railroad obnoxious people
into an insane asylum. The court
holds that evidence must be pre-
sented in open court, requirement
now practically universal in pre-
limnary procedure touching insanity.
The wonder is that the Legislature
of Minnesota should have given the
Supreme Court of the State cause
for rendering a judgment so plainly
necessary and so clearly just.

A YOUNG and uneducated Nor

A YOUNG and uneducated Nor
wegian named Edward Brekhus is as
tonishing the people Of Tacoma by
going into a trance condition and
then uttering most remarkable mes
sages. His preaching is in Nor
wegian, and those who can under
stand him say he uses language far
beyond his natural powers. He has
very little acquaintance with the
Bible, but in his trance state he re-
peats whole chapters without mis-
take. After he comes out of the
trance he does not know what he has
said. The case has attracted much
attention from clergymen in Wash
ington, and they are puzzled to ac-
