GOVERNMENT (UNLTKITED.)

Judge Cooley says that the Industrial
armies in their demand for work on gov
eminent roads had t.sympathizera among
well meaning people who had only vague
and unsettled notions Of the functions Of
government" Il never seems to have
occurred 20 the old gentleman that ones
notions OF government depend altogether
upon the point Of view. Judge COOley's
notions OF the true functions Of govern
ment1 are no more entitled to respect
than any other thinking mans. If the
people of this country conclude that it is
the true function of the national govern
ment to build roads, why the national
government will build them, and that
will be its true function.
We suppose governments is instituted
to do whatever majority Of the people
want it to do, isn't it? If they want it to
run a laundry and a majority of them
vote that way, it will run a Laundry, and
that's all there is about it. The true
functions" Of government are exactly
what the people want them TO be.
When the constitution stands in the
way, the people amend it They have
only amended il sixteen times in the last
century, and they viii probably amend
it sixteen times more in the next century.
Perhaps the thirty-second amendment
of laundry, who knOws2 Judge Cooley
Is in his dotage. He's fossilizsd- What
has he to do with this age Of bicycles,
Microscopes, theosophy and advanced
thought?

war began. but he is now fastening
back to his post at Picking, which he ex-
poets to reach about Nov. l. During his
absence his son, Charles DENLY, Jr., is
charge d. afaires as secretary Of the lega-
ton.
Minister DENLY, who is now citizen
of Evansville, Ind, was born in Bote-
tourt county, Va, about 6S years ago.
He was educated at Georgetown college
and was such a good student that he
captured three medals for the merit Of
his work His education was finished at
the Virginia military institute, and in
1853 he followed Greeley's advice and
went west to grow up with the country.
He located in Evansville, where he
wrote for a newspaper and studied law.
He was admitted to the bar and dabbled
in politics with such success that he was
sent to the legislature. In 1853 he mar
ried a daughter of ex- United States SEN
ator Fitch of Indiana and was surveyor
of the port Of Evansville under Presi-
: dent Buchanan.
When the civil war began, Mr.. Dem

regiment, Indiana volunteers, and colo
mel Of the Eighteenth regiment and was
twice wounded while in the thick Of
the fight He left the service in 1868
and resumed the practice of his profess
sion After over 20 years of work at
the bar, in 1885 he was appointed
minister to China, a post ne has held
ever since, although ex-United States
Senator Henry W. Blair was appointed
as his successor by President Harrison

would be considered non persona grata
in the Celestial Kingdom, and cOnse-
quently Minister DENLY remained at his
post.

to assist in ruling over ''has neither
goats nor hogs nor any people,, " but the
people and the pork will come later,
and as for the goats-the winds Of
Trinidad viii doubtless get on very
we'll without bewhiskered billys.
The name of the prospective queen Of
Trinidad was Miss Anna Flagler before
she became the wife Of Baron Harden
Hickey, who is to be James of Trini-
dad, and she is the daughter Of John H
Flagler, the Standard Oil magnate.
Trinidad is about % miles long and 3
miles wide. It is rocky and mountain
Gus, but has a fertile soil, and despite
the fact that it was taken possession Of
in the name of Great Britain by DR..
HALEY. the explorer, in 1900 no one
seems to care for it except Baron Har-
den Hickey.
The island is about 700 miles off the
coast of Brazil and should not be con-
founded with the Trinidad near Caracas,
Venezuela. It has no good harbor and
may only be approached by shipping
when the sea is calm The shores are
thronged with huge turtles, many Of
which weigh 700 pounds, and the sea is
full of palatable fish.
Baron Harden Hickey is 40 years old,
was born in France, although his ances-
tors, the Hickeys, originally came from
Ireland. He was educated at the col
1ege of the Jesuits at Namur, and aft
erward at Leipsic, where he became
well known as a duelist who would fight
at the drop Of the hat. In 1878 he de-
voted himself to sculpture and litera-
ture, and later founded a royalist paper
in Paris which involved him in a dozen
duels, for which he paid government
fines aggregating 500, 600 francs. He
then took a long sailing voyage, was
cast upon Trinidad, became a Buddhist
in India and married Miss Flagler Of
New York in 1891. The baron will peo-
pie the island with subjects chosen by
himself and will be monarch Of all he
surveys. providing Queen Victoria does
not call a halt On the seizure Of her ter
ritOry.

PROF. ELYS ACCUSER BOLTS
When the Time Comes for the Trial Wells
Isn't There.


Isn't There.
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 23.-The trial of
Prof r. T. Ely has been postponed ow-
ing to the non appearance of State Sup
erintendent Wells, who made the charges
of socialism against him.
As soon as the committee met, il came
out that Mr.. Wells had written the COM
mittee a long letter, declaring its deter
mination, announced at the preliminary
meeting. to Investigate Mr.. Ely's teach
ings and actions only since he had been
a member of the university faculty, was
contrary to the resolution of the board of
regents, and that unless it was willing
to go into the whole subject of Ely's So
called theoretical" teachings in his print
ed books, he (Wells) would have nothing
further to do with the inquiry.
Tho committee is much disappointed,
and DR. Ely declared he had come 600
miles to meet his accuser face 10 face,
only to now find that although he was in
the city. he dared not "show up"

GOVERNOR LEwELLINe is quoted as
saying: "Tsn shelterless girls struggling
in vain for any position Of employment
that is made vacant in your cities for one
who is successful in obtaining work.
What becomes OF the other miner Those

to seek shelter with her whose ways

powerful story bearing on this feature Of
