John E. Burke was born in Water
town, N. Y, in April 1867. His early
life was spent in obtaining an education
At the age of 16 years he entered the
company and was one of it's trusted en-
DloYees, up to the day of his death. He
was sent 20 Shoshone ten years ago as
the company's station agent, which
position he occupied until three months
ago, when he took much needed yaca-
ton. Last year he invested in the sheep
business and it was while on trip into
Oregon, to purchase more sheep that he
was stricken with paralysis, which re-
suited in his death. There are left to
mourn him, an aged father, three sisters
and one brother.
There is still a dark sha&w clouding
the pathway he has trod, beyond the
silent river, and hundreds of sorrowing
hearts that cherished him are mute with
grief. God bless and help the aged
father, the heart broken sisters and the
sorrowing brother in the hour of their
desolation. That little stricken group is
an epitome of hundreds that bent the
head when Johnny Burke died.
Spirits from bondage thus set flee
Vanish amidst immensely,
Where human thought like human sight,
Fails to pursue their trackless fight.
The death of the aged and infrm is so
in the natural course of things, that
while it saddens, it may not shock US.
The dissolution that follows wasting
disease and painful illness we are pre-
pared to meet; but when one in the
fullness of life, the zenith OF strong man
hood is, without warning, struck down,
we stand appalled, in the presence of the
sudden calamity. Such death forcibly
reminds us that we are mortal, and, in
the life, labor and death of John E
Burke there is, for each of US, an i'm
pressive lesson.
All honor to his memory! He lived
a high and manly life, unswerved by
the solicitations of unworthy compro-
mise and unaffected by the glamour OF
place or prestige. He who hath passed |
the judgement of the world unscathed, |
need have no fear to meet Higher Tri-
bunal.

Out here in Idaho they have intro
duced hugging societies to swell the
church treasury, and a Moscow man
gives the following scale.ot prices: Girls
under sixteen, II cents hug for two
minutes or 10 cents for a short squeeze /;
girls from sixteen to twenty years old,
so cents; schoolmarms 40 cents; wild
dows, according to looks, from nine
cents to three dollars; another man s
wife one dollar; old maids cents each
or two for cents and no limit to time.
Preachers are not charged. Editors pay
in advertising but are not allowed to
participate until everybody else is
through, and then they are not allowed
to squeeze anything but old imaids and
schoolmarms.
The foregoing was "handed in, not
necessarily for publication. but we pub
lish it anyhow. In hugginga as in every
thing else, the editor gets the last OF it,
which in this case is undoubtedly the
worst of it, while the preachers get the
best of everything free of charge, This
is rank injustice. We resent emphati-
cally the Moscow mans classification OF
schoolmarms. 1t provokes suspicion
that the Moscow "marms" are not up to
the average.-Ex.

Is IT AS BAD AS THIS?
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
After all. our relations with Great Brit
ain present very few problems and COM
pleXties. We have learned by experience
that nothing in the way of justice and
fair dealing is to be expected of her as
tho result of diplomatic palaver, We
know. on the contrary, that discussion
and debate are invariably construed by
England as permission to continue the
policy in question, and as invariably util-
lied by her as an opportunity Tor
strengthening any position she may pre-
yiously have taken. If~Mr. Harrison had
continued a polite correspondence with
the British foreign office in 1891, Eng
land would never have aided us in patrol
ing the Prbylof waters and tne Cana
dian poachers would have doubled their
deDredations on the seal herds. If Mr.
Cleveland, in 1896 had left the question
of the Venezuelan boundary to the rheto-
orical tomfoolery of Mr.. Bayard and Lord
Salisbury the Venezueans would by this
time have been practically out of house
and home. If. in dealing with England,
one keeps within the domain of mere
controversy, his fate is sealed. There is
Just one way to secure the respect and
consideration of that chief of professional
spectators, and that is to meet her with
an ultimatum on your lips and a naked
sword in your hand. By no other method
or expedient can you make sure of hon
est treatment.

SELF-MADE MEN BEST.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
Many of the ablest men who have served
the republic in congress, in the cabinet
and in the presidency had only limited
facilities for acquiring knowledge from
text books and teachers. Some of the
ripest scholars we have had in public
life have been of little practical use.
Take the two n en- who, for many years,
represented Massachusetts In the senate,
Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson, and
compare the results of their public SER
vices. Sumner, the erudite, than whom
a more scholarly man never sat In the
senate, left as his legacy to the ma
tion a measure which passed through his
influence but after his death was de-
clared null and void by the supreme
court. Wilson, the shoemaker, was
busy and useful worker on the senate
military committee throughout the war
and contributed materially to the success
Of the Unicn arms. 1t would not be Iif~
ficult to give dozens of similar illustra-
tions, showing that scholarship is not an
Indispensable equipment for useful en-
ployment i'm affairs of state. The man
who has the natural endowments OF the
statesman is pretty apt to gather the
amount and the kind of knowledge re-
uuired, even though his schooling be lin
ited to the lower grades of the free
school system. Valuable as collegiate
education undoubtedly is, 1t does not
constitute it's pcssessor a past master in

INCENTIVE.

Well does the angler love the fish
That Is squirming in the air!
With dancing eyes
He will view the prize
As it leaps and struggles there.
But there is another toward which his
wish
Is turning from day to day;
And despite ill-luck
He will toast the pluck
OF the fish that got away.
He knows that it moves through the crys
tai COOL
With never a wave to show
The path 1t takes
Where the minnow wakes
And darts in the sunbeam's glow.
There's many beauty who left the pool;
The pride of an idle day,
But those we caught
Never hold our thought
Like the fish that got away
So, here's to the pleasures we might have
had,
If fortune had proved more true;
For they stand apart
And they cheer the heart
Ger the things we may some day do.
And the disappointment that now seems
sad,
AS we look on 1t later, may
Brace our nerves once more
For the sport in store,
Like the fish that got away.

to be found in the quixotic character

which have covered the whole move
ment with a certain measure of rldi-
cule. The reforms proposed by the
Pathological association, however, are
not radical nor rash; they are limited
in the main to the elimination of such
superfluous and misleading letters as
the final ugh" in though" the final
"me" of programme" the final ''ue"
Of Catalogue" the final "e" of "genu-
inc" and ''engine," the final "r' in

A Question Worth Considering.

In the six months ended July 1 only
622 miles of new steam railway track
age were laid in the United States, Ill
of them being in Louisiana. This is
the lowest amount of new mileage on
record save for the first half of 1894.
and Il tells several things to the reflect
ing reader. OF course the general
business depression must be acknowl-
edged as the foremost factor In this
poor showing; but had times been nor
fiifly Prosperous there are reasons for
believing that the new mileage would
not have been appreciably larger
The American people are indebted to
the railway for the inestimable part
which 1t has played in developing the
resources of the country. Without 1t
they would be isolated pioneers doomed
to- the most primitive processes of To-
cemotion. Yet they recognize this OBJ
legation nine times in ten by viewing
the railroad manager as fit subject
for individual cheating in business
transactions and for harassment and
spoliation in legislation. The reward
new territory to the home-seeker and
makes possible symmetrical national
growth very often is to have their
property branded as a public menace
and made the target of attack from de-
magogues and quack economists who
in turn do nothing for the community
but to prey upon 1t.
Under these circumstances, and with
the statistical fact before him that
as a consequence no less of repressive
and demagogical legislation than of
faulty management two railroads in
every three have in recent years been
forced into receiverships, can we won
der that the railroad-builder pauses
in his work, and begins to ask himself
whether the game is worth the candle :?
We do not take stock in the argument
that the natural limit of railway build
ing has been reached in this country.
That to our mind is nonsense. This
country has only been SKINNED as yet
by the railway business. In the state
of Texas alone there is room for new
trackage larger than the whole coun-
try had prior to 1850. The same is true
of a dozen other states and sections
which may yet become Pennsylvanas
in wealth, diversification of industries
and population.
The question for the public to con-
slider. therefore, is whether it can af-
ford to put an incubus on this natural
expansion by an unnatural and in
equitable predatory conflict with the
chief agent of it's realization.

Arguments for Spelling Reform,

Before the American Philological
association DIR. Francis A. March of
Lafayette college, representing the
committee on spelling reform, has Of
fered report which renews attention
TO the wastefulness as we'll as the ir-
regularity of the customary method of
spelling many words. In the past year
the cause Of spelling reform has made
large progress among publishers and
learned societies, and Dr. March is
hopeful of receiving at an early day
the substantial cooperation of the
government.
On the score of economy reform IN
spelling is demanded because it has
been found by the committee that the
removal Of silent e's wouli save four
per cent. of all the letters on a common
printed page; the removal of one con-
sonant of each pair of duplicated con-
sonants would save 1.6 per cent. AS
far as printing and paper are con-
cerned, Il six dollar book would be thus
reduced to FIVE dollars. The matter
of six volumes of the public documents
would cost for printing as much as
five do now. The report of the SUPER
intendent of public printing and bind
ing for the year ended June 3O 1897,
shows an expenditure of S15s,42753. 1t
would seem that the reduction in this
bill would be nearly $4,000, after maxi
ing allowance for the lithographic work
and binding. The report adds:
the people from the use of simple SPELL
ing in all printing and writing it is
plainly very great All books may cost
one-siXth less. The "Encyclopaedia
Britannica" would make twenty volumes
instead of twenty-four, and cost $A less
The newspapers would all save one col
umn in six. One~sixth would be saved
in all writing, in the manuscripts Of
books and periodicals., the records of
courts, deeds, wills and other legal docu-
ments, the sermons of preachers tho
books of merchants and other men of
business, and correspondence of all soita
In the year ended June 30 1896, in our
American post offices there were sold
1,l4I 9O6, 400 two cent postage stamps, l52.-
7i2250 stamped envelopes; the aggregate
of all stamps. stamped envelopes, wrap
pers and cards was 2,3i2 1854, 81. Adding
the postage of Great Britain, it is likely
that three billions of written comlnuni-
year. One-siXth of the labor of writing
is well worth saving.
The committee makes a second argu-
ment in the fact that defects in Eng
lish photography constitute serious
impediment in education. For instance,
Hon. j. II. Gladstone has carefully col
lected the statistics of the English
schools, and he finds that the average
time allotted to spelling, reading and
dictation is 1922 per cent. of the time
devoted to secular instruction. An
average English child spending eight
years in school spends 2.S20 school
hours in these exercises. He concludes
that 720 hours of spelling lessons might
certainly be dispensed with If our spell
ing were simplified, and the same basis
of computation would give proper
tionally larger saving II applied to the
United States.
These and other arguments equally
strong remain unrefuted. yet spelling
