Foote. of Port Henry, has at last been
settled in favor of Foote'S adherents.
and henceforth he will be known as the
handsomcst man in congress. says tho
New York World
Congress always has It's handsomest
man. 1t may not seem a great honor,
but 1t gains for a man an amount OF
attention from the feminine half Of
Washington that can't be had In any
easier way, while the masculine por-
ton of the place usually is bitterly op-
posed to the man who wins the title.
In the house OF representatives the
galleries delight to watch the Apollo Of

speaker himself the attention of the

Patriotism with the Love of Peace.

One of the good things already ris-
ing out OF the threatening of war is the
growth OF patriotic feeling and love of
country. Yet another and a larger
good is the love OF peace, the PRAYER
for peace and the careful studying OF
tho things that make Tor peace. Per
haps yet larger good viii be the dis
coyery OF the great and precious inter-
ests the two countries have in common
and the drawing nearer together of the
TWO great Engijsh-speakiug peoples
into acknowledged sympathies and
aims for the good Of the whole world.

praise from the Spanish people. 1t was
Canovas who ordered Concas, the
Taylor recently for having spoken
abusively of the United States and 1t
was by his orders that special detach-
ments Of police were put into service to
prevent any serious attack on the lega-
tior of the United States. All this was
thoughtful and wise. And now comes
Senior Canovas to apologize for the at
tack on the consulate at Barcelona.
The premier was born in 1880, and his
public life began in 1851. when he be-
came editor of the Patria. Three years
later he was named deputy for Malaga,
and has been in the cortes ever since
that time. He has had some diplomatic
experience. In 1856 he was charge
daffaires at Rome. He it was who was
largely concerned in drawing up the
concordat between Spain and the holy
see, He has been in turn Governor of
Cadiz, director general of the admins
tration and under secretary of state for
the interior. In 1864 the queen called
him to the ministry, and he was minis
ter of finance and OF the colonies. Pass
ing through the revolution. his greatest
triumph was to uphold legitimate and
constitutional monarchy in the con-
stituent assembly of 1868 in the face Of
triumphant revolution. For this he has
become the supreme director Of the
Alfonsist party. and his honors in that
capacity have been sufficient to make
up small history In themselves In
spite of extraordinarily busy public and
political life he has found time to write
numerous books on moral and political
science, which have placed him in the

tackled an Italian native battalion on the
morning of April 2, at Mount Mocran. Col.
Stevania and forces from Kassala went to
the assistance Of the battalion. surprised the
enemy and drove the latter back. The Der
wishes were reinforced by several detach-
ments from Tucruf and returned to the at
tack, but they were again repulsed in an en-
gagement which lasted four hours. The
Italians lost one hundred killed and wounded,
and the Dervishes suffered heavily in killed
and wounded. and, in addition, many of their
number were made prisoners. Osman Digna,
at the head of large force of Dervishes, has
arrived at the Harasat hills. The friendly
Arabs are intrenched at Erkoweit, barring
the advance Of the Dervishes upon Suakim.
A dispatch from Cairo says: The Der

POPULAR METHODS USED.
Collecting the street Sprinkling and
SweeufnE Tax.

The total assessment for sprinkling and
sweeping amounted to $103, 600 and all but
an amount less than 81 900 of this total has
been paid into the treasury. The collection
of this tax was never more successful The
fact about this assessment is that the tax
simply had 10 be paid and the notices that
Treasurer Schmidt sent out concerning this
assessment had the desired effect and con-
WINGED the property holders that to be
delinquent in the matter would be bad pol
icy. BY being able TO collect this large
has saved hundreds OF people attorney 5
cost the Treasurer much additional expense
in the matter OF clerk hire, printing, etc,
but the results have been so successful that
Treasurer Schmidt feels more than con,-
pensated and he knows that he has pleased
the people.
Mr. Schmidt will adopt the same methods
in collecting the street Improvement assess
ments as in the collection of the sprink-
ling and sweeping taxes, feeling sure that
the property owners will take kindly 70
this method. There is wide difference
between the sprinksing and sweeping as
sessment and the street Improvement az
sessment In the latter assessment the
Circuit Court has stepped in and said
allowed TO accept street-improyement as
sesxmenfs after the third Monday of this
month-which win be the last day OF grace.
