Greatness PAYS n penalty.

1t is is said that the penalty of be-
ing great is to be talked about, and if
that's the case, then Mayor Strong
must be very big man. At any rate
he has this community, or a major
portion thereof by the ears and max
ing them ask one another where
they're at. His order closing up the
billiard saloons on Sunday, has raised
particular cain among the devotees of
that harmless game, and they are many.
The arrests made for this violation of
a puritanical statute is an outrage Of
personal liberty. 1t is extremely
doubtful if their play was in fact II
violation of section 265 of the Penal
Code. Any how it is bad law, an I'M
just law, an oppressive law, a law in
restraint of personal liberty and GER
tainly law that ought to be repealed.

Curiously enough the right hand,
which Is more sensitive TO touch than
the left, is less sensitive TO tempera-
ture. If the two hands be dipped in
two basins of water at the same tenn
perature, the left hand will feel the
greater sensation of warmth; nay,
it will do this even when the thermom-
eters show that the water in the left
basin is really somewhat colder than
in the right basin. With left-handed
persons the reverse would be found. -

Keep them moving.


There are times when Civil S rvice
rules, and even the Golden Rule, are
not applicable for practical purposes
in this prosaic world of ours, Es-
pecially in politics is this the case.
Under the power of removal bill,
which is now MS good rs law, the
mayor may remove all city officials
lDt elected by popular vote, As II re-
,tIt we may look for . clean sweep OF
a, the important offices, MS they are
filled with Tammuny men who have for
Fclted the respect OF honest citizens.
For the life of me, can see why these
eeches should think they have IL life
tenure and "cinch" ON their Offices
and expect the public to pension them
after certain number of years Of
what they call faithfully service.
Why should these men who receive
better salaries than the rank and file,
not depend upon themselves as others
nave to, to provide for old age and a
rainy day. We can very well dispense
with this army of fossils, nothing bet
ter than beggurs. Keep them NOV

IT would certainl y seem the preroga-

There is something sublimely pa
tletic in the devotion of many wives
t. their husbands who have been so
unfortunate MS to have to pay the pen
atty of their crimes by incarceration
in dungeon cell. Now the wife of
Edwin o, Quigley, that veritable
prince OF forgers, swindlers and Others
Of shady ili, has given up her pretty
home in Orange, N. j., and gone
to Sing Sing so as to be near her hus-
band, whom apparently she still loves
even if she cannot honor and obey.
As yet she has not been allowed to
visit him but has brought him cloth
ing and articles to decorate his cell.
Su'h devotion and thoughttulness
must be the brightest ray of hope that
tinls ITS way through the iron graf
ing of the lonely cell, but it must
also make the deprivation of personal
liberty more terrible and appalling
when one has ample opportunity for
sober reflection.

one jot what is said or done, still when
one who is thoughtful enough TO re-
member some dear departed relative
or friend by some little act, it is pity
that so much is said 50 publicly as to
render the cxccutiol of such an act i'm
possible. The day after the funeral Of
Mrs. William Waldorf Aston, Mr..
Aston ordered II blanket of lilies of
the vail y and yoiiets to be placed on
the grave in Trinity Cemetery every

Mr.. Astor has been obliged to cancel
the order. So much for talking too
much.

Some Historical Facts For 1G to .crs ia

In his recent sound money speech at
Hillsboro, Tex, Judge Rufus Hardy
cited the following historical facts:
Tho United States today has larger
circulation per capita than any free
coinage country ever did have.
1t has more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country on earth
today has of all kinds of money.
1t has more silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today.
1t has moro gold than silver, and the
volume OF its silver circulation is great
er per capita than tho entire circulation
of gold, silver and paper reduced to
silver-Cf any free coinage nation.
The United States under gold stand
ard-since lS73-has maintained Is
greater circulation per capita than it
ever did before.
There has been five times moro silver
coined under the gold standard. from
1878 till now, 90 yenrs, than there was
under free coinage from 1892 to 1878,
81 years.
Every nation that has adopted tho
gold standard, except ono or two who
are ON deprecated paper bases, has in
creased its circulation.
No nation Of first class civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type of free sill
yer nation on earth on double standard,
so called, and its per capita circulation
is SAIL.
Our per capita circulation has in
creased since 1873 more than the entire
circulation of Mexico
