IN THE rULLNEss OF TIME.

AS if the Cleveland administration did
not have trouble enough arising from its
own incompetency, new trouble has
arisen for it out of the ashes and debris of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition. It
will be remembered that among the
features of the exposition, common to all
affairs of the kind, there was provision
made for the distribution of diplomas to
exhibitors. These diplomas have not yet
been distributed, and as result there is
dissatisfaction and kicking all around the
globe, from Greenland's icy mountains to
midas coral strand. While not directly
responsible for the delay, the accidents of
time and circumstance have shifted the
storm center of dissatisfaction from Chi
cago to Washington, and Cleveland and
his accomplices have to stand all the wear
and tear of the racket.
The exact condition of affairs seems to
be this: The law under which the Column
bian Exposition was held provided that
the United States Government should issue
the diplomas, but they were to be delivered
to the National Commission for distribu-
ton among the fortunate exhibitors. The
Treasury Department has the diplomas all
ready for delivering, but there is no longer
any National Commission to receive them.
That body, once SO solid, august and pom
derous, seems to have not only thawed,
melted and dissolved itself into dew, but
evidently the dew has evaporated into a
thin streak of morning mist and vanished
in the Infinite azure of the past. Hence
the complexity of the situation and the
perplexity OF all concerned. The Govern
ment is there, the diplomas are there
and the exhibitors are everywhere, but
there is missing link in the chain, and
the machine of distribution stands still.
No one who has any right conception OF
the manifest destiny of the United States
can doubt that it will ultimately accom-
plish all that it undertakes. The Column
bian diplomas viii some day be awarded.
In the fullness of time there will be

A MODERN AL RAS0HID.

The zeal with which the newspapers are
following up and recording the exploits of
Theodore Roosevelt, and the intense pleas
ure with which these accounts are read by
the public, show both how remarkable
thing it is for an officer in Roosevelt posi-
ton to display zeal, courage and conscience,
and how delighted the people are to dis
cover an officer who does. And the people
are always eager to reward such q man.
The political history OF our country is
crowded with such instances. from George
Washington down to the obscurest con-
stable who risks his life in the arrest of a
dangerous criminal.
Unfortunately these rewards are gener.
ally for services of a picturesque kind.
There are thousands of faithful officers the
tame character of whose work duties pre-
vents their becoming conspicuous. Hero
worship is one of the most deeply seated
Of human bents, and it is running of
risks and display of courage in the pur-
suit of duty that determine the hero.
It is in this light that Roosevelt is shin
ing now. Not only has he shattered in In
spector Byrnes the idol of great detec-
tive, and sent him forth stripped of his
reputation, but like Haroun al Raschid he
prowls the streets in the small dark hours
to observe how the police are discharging
their duties. His adventures In this pur-
suit are almost as amusing as were those
OF the adventurous ruler OF Bagdad. OF
all the numerous policemen whom he
would have encountered the other hight,
had they been on guard, he found only six,
and they were not attending properly to
their duties. When he asked them why
they were not, four resented his imperti-

NEVADA THEMES.

The commencement exercises of the
Nevada State University disclosed the fact
that the young men and young women of
the Sagebrush State are decidedly prac-
teal in the trend of their mental &C.
Invites. The subjects chosen for their
theses were strikingly illustrative OF the
up-to-date inclination toward common,
everyday affairs. For instance, Samuel
Durkee took for his subject, Butter; its
composition and adulteration." This is
entirely appropriate for commonwealth
ID which cattle-grazing and dairying are
carried on TO so great an extent. The min
ing feature OF the State was represented by
Albert ]. Floods essay on Experiments
in chloridizing ore by roasting" Then
came Joseph Durkee's paper on 1.-THE un-
avoidable losses in the crucible," and
Ralph L. Osborne told Of ''The unavoidable
losses in the scorifcation assay"
Frank Il. Saxton devoted his thoughts
to "The cyanide process for the extraction
Of gold" and Winfield John Flood told
what he knew OF the production Of ALUM
mum bronze" Peter J. Frandsen gave
figures on the ''Cost of living in Nevada. /"
Coming TO subjects more remotely re-
lated to everyday life, William Henry
North traced the Evolution of represen-
tatiye government" Gabrielle Delmas
advocated the Government ownership OF
the telegraph" Annie Margaret Foster
read an essay on Money" Walter Z.
