AN IDEAL JUDGE.

Cleveland Superior court is in SEES
sion this week and that able and learned
jruist, Judge w. A. Hoke, Of Lincoln.
ton, Is presiding with characteristic abil-
ity and fairness. In times when I'M
worthy men have been elevated to office
and the standard Of the judiciary low
cred in consequence, it is really refresh
ing to have such an ideal judge, as the
presiding officer of this court, to visit
our county. Conceded on all sides to be
one of the ablest and purest judges in
the State, Judge Hoke is also one Of
the noblest and truest Of men, and to
paraphrase the poets words,
"Grecian chisel never traced
A manlier form or kindlier face"
Honest, able, fearless, kindhearted
and absolutely incorruptible, Judge Hoke
wears the judicial robes with becoming
fitness.

the State treasury. Whereas reduc-
ton in rates from % cents to 10 cents
means that 40 per cent of the money
that has been paid to this corporation in
telegraph tolls in North Carolina will re-
main in the pockets of the people.
Now the company has sworn that it
does only $4,000 worth of business in
the State every year. Taking this as
uue-though it is not-a reduction of 40
per cent, means a saving to the people
of $4,000.
How does this compare with $500 In

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune: Russell Sage
is quoted as saying in a recent inter-
view: LAS for me, I am constantly
turning over my wealth in way that
will help others. If a man does not do
that, he will not be a good Citizen y
According to report, Mr.. Sage recently
turned over $50 by lending it to his
poor nephew in Illinois, taking a mort
gage on the latter's homestead as Sc
curity. When the day of payment
came Shylock, it is alleged, insisted on
his pound of flesh and the nephew's
wife, driven temporarily insane by the
worry of saving up the money to meet
the payment, committed suicide. But
perhaps Mr.. Sage reasons that the
poor woman is benefited by being out
of the wicked world.

AN unknown exchange says: ''It is
the distinction of Captain Boycott,
whose death is announced, to have
given a valuable word to the English
language-a word of the most conven-
lent sort, packing a whole situation
into seven letters and saving vast
amount of repetition. Boycott was a
squireen at Tough Mask in County
Mayo, in 1880-81 when the land league
agitation in Ireland was at it's height.
The peasantry could not pay their
rents, and in that barren region least
of all, but Captain Boycott was re-
lentless factor, and insisted on collect
ing the rents, with every method OF
'rack-renting," -distraint and eviction
to the last. Nobody would work for
him in harvest nobody would serve in
his house, he could not reap his grain,
his wife and daughters had to do their
own homework; moreover, the village
tradesmen, and then those of the big
ger towns, refused to sell him provis-
ions or other supplies, and everything
the Boycotts needed had to be shipped
from England"

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

There are many responsibilities to
be shouldered in assuming any sort of
control over the islands. Some of
them are so grave that it has hitherto
been considered unwise to add such a
burden to a country happily from any
territory, except Alaska, not closely
within it's continental boundaries. The
indebtedness, the character of it's pop
ulation, the treaty relations of the
government with other powers, and
the isolation of the islands form a con-
dition which must inevitably cause
this country more or less annoyance.
On the other hand the acquisition of
the islands would afford us only indi-
rect advantages and these mostly of a
strategic character, powerful enough,
however, to induce us not to permit
any other country to control them.
The opportune time to act must be de-
termined by those in a position to best
know the" conditions. Post In

A CORRESPONDENT of the Minneap-
oils Journal from Milaca, who, by the
way, is not the regular correspondent,
has attempted to stir up a nationality
strife by representing that the Swed-
ish Brotherhood is whetting it's knife
for the purpose of scalping those who
opposed the appointment of q postmas-
ter from the roll of it's membership.
The Scandinavians of Mile Laos
county are too intelligent a class to
allow themselves to be Subjected to
ring rule and any man who attempts
the dictator's role will find this true
to his sorrow. The Brotherhood was
an organization before the postoffice

MINNEAPOLIS Journal: The with
drawal of the proposition to tax tea
and increase the beer tax to $1.44 q
barrel left a gap of $4,000, 900 in the
proposed revenue under the new tariff
and the adoption of the Lodge amend
ment for a tax on sales of bonds and
stocks and on all new issues and re-
issues was necessary to insure revenue
up to the needs of the government.
The proposed tax will yield about
100000 and probably more This
form of taxation will be temporary, of
course, as it is designated in to make
up in part for the loss of revenue
through the anticipatory importations
of goods during the last few months
under the present tariff law. There is
some grumbling about the stock tax
but it will not prove a great hardship.

GIVE 1T THE POWER.

The thing is to secure an antitrust
amendment which will stand the test
of the courts. The supreme court has
to some extent contradicted itself on
the subject of such legislation, and it
may be well for the supreme court to
give a unanimous opinion on the SUI
preme court decisions on trusts-if It
can. The public would like to know
the true situation and if the United
States congress really can't regulate
monopolies, it should be given power
to do so.

If the free distribution of seeds by the
United States agricultural department
is to be continued, as seems probable,
then some better plan Of sending out the
packages ought to be hit upon than leav-
ing it all to the congressman. Members
of congress have other things to do than
sending out seeds to their constituents.
The conditions Of the country have
changed SO much since the seed distribu-
ton law was made that now less than
half the voters are agriculturists. What
do merchants, manufacturers and pro-
fessional men want with grain and veg
etable seed? The right way would be
for those who want the seed to write to
the agricultural department themselves,
certifying that they are BONG fde farm
ers and that they want the seed for &C.
tual use. AS matter Of fact, the neces-
sity OF the scattering by the United
States government Of seeds through the
length and breadth of this land no longer
exists at all as it used to do. Now there
are plenty Of seedsmen in nearly all
parts Of the nation fully up to the times
and ready to furnish the best and fresh.

possible this business ought to be left ia

is nature more prodigal of useful gifts

The Disease Of Povcrty,.

The newest Observation-Disclosures it might
be called a fad-is that poverty is dis
ease, like measles, drunkenness, immo-
rality and dirt. If 80, then it must be
said that it is extremely catching, as
bad as smallpox, in fact There are cpl
denies Of it, too, and this country has
just been passing through a very severe
one.
The beauty Of the new idea concern
ing poverty is that if it is a disease it
is durable, like any other ailment. Even
cancer and consumption now yield tc
sklllful medical and hygienic treatment.
Statesmen and wise people should
therefore set their heads to the discov-
cry OF an antidote to poverty. They will
not find it in the forcibly wrestling from
the two hundred millionaire his DOS
sessions and dividing them among the
pauper world. AS has been many time
said, before night Of the day of tlistzibu-
ton the conditions would relatively be
the same as they had been in the morn
ing.
The remedy, however, will be found
in the enlightenment Of the pauper pop
ulation. First, their will and self re-
spect must be cultivated. Then they
must be taught that they themselves
can cure the disease of poverty. Nobody
else can get we'll of smallpox or cold
tor any patient. He must tussle with i,
himself and overcome. Just SO with
poverty. Anybody can down it who has g
dauntless will and ordinary good sense.
The way not to be poor is to steadily
refuse to put up with poverty.

A WARMING.

Mark H. Dunnell was once power
in the politics of Minnesota, but that
day, like his youthful vigor, is gone,
and the old man is pushed aside with
less consideration than would be given
to a pair of worn out shoes. He was
one of the most capable men ever sent
to congress from this State and had he
given his time and abilities to building
up business, would now not only COM
mand more consideration, but his de-
clining years would be far happier.
We are sorry for Mr.. Dunnell. The
statesman OF to-day is the ignored and
broken down politician of tomorrow.
