there were a great number of public
requests but refused to give them out.
Neither Of the executors of the will
would confirm or deny the statement
that Mr. Pullman had disinherited his
two sons, George NJ. and Sanger w.
Pullman. Neither one Of the young
men is said to be violently drawn to.
ward a business career, and for that
reason it has been declared that the
bulk Of the property is left to the widow
and Mrs. Frank Lowden. daughter of

THE GERMAN EMPEROR

The German emperor has primed his
guns and made another speech and the
whole world laughs. The merest acci-
dent has placed this man on the imperial
throne, and 1t is not the first time in
history that the purple has fallen to the
lot OF a man who has all the qualiflca-
tions of a plowman but none Of the
statesman or Of the ruler.
But short time ago this same man
proclaimed to an astonished world that
he was the vicegerent Of God. the Joshua
of the nineteenth century. The world
then smiled; 1t now laughs.
This man in his zeal to emulate Bis
marck or Won Moltke has commissioned
his brother. Prince Henry. to sail the
high seas and lay low for the unsus-
pecting individual who dares to hold his
nose in the presence Of Limburger cheese.
On such a rare occasion the emperor
could not restrain himself from making
a speech. Had not Hannibal, Alexander
the Great and the Caesars, by their elo-
QueHCe, llSplItO lIullLeIellt HluitltuueS
with the fire of victorious armies? And
should the German emperor, the success
sor Of Frederick the Great, yield to these
ancient heroes in the art Of stirring war
riors to deeds of valor?
This speech, like the Suablan song. will
be inseparably interviewer with the his
tory of the fatherland, and the other ma
tions of the world owe a debt Of ever
lasting gratitude to the emperor for his
to dock their ships of war and to disperse
their armies before his Achillean wrath
shall have been spent upon China
The world laughs.

AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION

The quashing Of the criminal indict-
ment returned against School Director
Webb has given rise to a controversy
between the grand jury and District At
torney Donnell concerning the RESPONSE
bility for that futile legal step.
AS soon as the indictment was quashed
the district attorney made haste to as
sert that the Indictment was returned
against his official advice; that the
grand jury was determined to ''do some
thing in the Webb matter and so would
not listen to him.
All this was exceedingly creditable to
the legal acumen and research of the
district attorney; but his explanation
was not to go unchallenged. A member
of the grand jury is quoted by morn
ing paper as saying that the district at
torney told that body he believed he
could make an indictment against Webb
stick; further, that the grand jury has
followed and still follows the advice of
the district attorney in all matters COM
Ing before it. The grand juryman also
says tHdl Tie ulSlIlct attorney PROMISED
to correct his statements concerning the
course of the grand jury in the matter
of the Webb Indictment, which he has
thus far failed to do.
The district attorney is, fortunately or
unfortunately, as the case may be, the
official legal adviser Of the grand jury.
1t would doubtless cause no end of
trouble il the grand jury should make q
practice of disregarding the advice thus
given it. 1t is an unhappy coincidence
that the present body is situated as it is
and for its reputation and for the truths
sake as well, it is to be hoped that this
question Of veracity will be conclusively
settled

THE HOSE QUESTION

ordered that 1000 feet Of hose should be
purchased from each Of five companies.
as originally recommended by the board
of fire commissioners. This arrange
ment will probably be more generally
satisfactory than the previous one, es-
pecially in view Of certain developments
in the board Of education investigation.
What the taxpayers want is good hose
at reasonable figure, purchased under
fair competition. The squabble that
arose over the present purchase was not
entirely creditable, and the sooner the
incident is decently closed the better it
will be for those who have been con-
cerned in it.

"POOR OLD MEXICO"

Railway earnings continue TO show a
remarkable increase and the internal
revenues as we'll as the customs duties
are giving the government an income
in excess of its actual needs.
1t is hardly necessary to remind our
readers that Mexico is under the de-
spised and dreaded single silver stand
ard. In what great contrast are the con-
ditions there to the situation in the
United States, which is under the sin
gle gold standard. Here we have q con-
stantly growing deficit, for which the
Republican tariff tinkers are compelled
to apologize morning. noon and night
Mexico and this country are under pro-
tective tariff systems, but there seems
to be a deal of difference in the results

of the low price of silver were entirely
wasted. Not only are the revenues Of tho

OUR DIRTY STREETS

rean. one two-hundredths of an inch of
rain fell In this city. Such small
amount Of moisture could hard
ly be expected to accomplish
much in any direction; but i.
s matter of record that it made an
exceedingly nasty mess Of the streets,
more particularly of the paved streets
in the business district, which are popu-
larly supposed to be kept clean.
A mere sprinllling, only one two
hundredths of an inch of water convert

MACHINERY ABROAD

Engineering London), discussing the
question of American competition In
England, admits the dependence Of that
country upon the United States for ma
chine tools and other aids to machine and
electrical works. Says that journal:
We are dependent on the United
States to bui.d the elevators for the
Central London railway; and we hav,
to look 10 the other side of the Allan
tic for the electrical plant with which
the traffic Is to be worked. 1t Is noto-
rious that we are unable properly ID
equip an electrically worked tramway,

In the household and the garden.

John Gray loved the handsome Jessie,
Pedagogue was he and naughty,
Read Mort d'Arthur, had ideals.
And he would do nothing naughty.
Brave was John as any hero,
Quick of eye and strong Of muscle;
Fought an editor and panther
In a rough -and-tumble tussle.
Long he tried to ease the heartache,
Strove in vain against his mania,
Wed at last another woman
In the state of Pennsylvania.
Jessie heard the news with sadness.
But in sorrow did not languish.
Sold some land and built a mansion,
Wore fine clothes and checked her an

In the choir unseen these lovers
Now with skill their gold harps handle,
While ideals round them glitter.
Here a lighthouse, there candle.

Reflections of O Bachelor

The worm the early bird got had
probably been out all night.
The women set a lot more store by kiss
ing than the men; they get more out of it,
By the time the average woman has
learned what referendum is she has quit
fussing with politics.
After man once begins noticing and
talking about girls hair he has to keep
it UP all the time or she acts hurt.
The women are probably wearing hair
nets again just to see how much the men
will stand before they begin on the
hustle.
When young man makes up his mind
to be forgiving and gentle with his wife
in everything, he seldom thinks about
pillow shams.-New York Press.
