This controversy between Hayti
and Germany over the Lueders case"
said an old resident to Washington
Star reporter recently, brings to my
mind the fact that the United States at
one time Mt least during my life showed
the same spirit that Germany did in de-
handing an indemnity at the point of
gun. The incident happened just aft
er the close of the war and was about
the same kind of affair. The Brazilian
government had imprisoned or treated
anAmerican citizen in some outrageous
way, and the American minister at Rio
Janeiro, acting on his instructions, de-
manded an indemnity. He was put off
from day to day, and finally from week
to week, until he made up his mind that
he was either going to do his duty or
lose his position, so he said nothing
more about the matter, but waited for
United States war ship to anchor in
the harbor. When the vessel arrived he
quietly moved his effects from the le-
cation to the boat and then announced
to the powers in Brazil that he had To-
Gated the United States legation on the

coming in three hours he would shell

BEARS GO VISITING.

Jack Thinks His Bushel OF B1ckvheat
Was . Good Investment.
The total failure of the beechnut
crop has brought the Maine bears to
the verge of starvation, so that many
sly old animals are coming out to the
clearings and getting shot while look
ing for something to eat, says the Bos-
ton Herald.
Jack Gilpatrick, an aged bear hunter,
who occupies a camp on the side of
Chicks hill, in the town of Clifton, gave
up the hunt and took in his traps a
month ago and went to shooting and
poisoning bobcats, because he could
find no bears. Late in October he went
out for more wildcats, and in passing
through a beech wood saw recent
traces of bear that had been scratch
ing up the falling leaves and eating
what few beechnuts of last years crop
he could find.
The next day Jack went down to the
store and bought bushel of new
kind of buckwheat, which had large
kernel. A grain of buckwheat bears
the same relation to a beechnut that a
SNOWFALL does to q satellite; they are
shaped alike. but one is infinitely larger
than the other. But Jack boiled his
buckwheat all night, and when he
spread it among the beech trees the
next morning bear that wore mag
nifying glasses might possibly mistake
it for beechruts. Some hunters came
along while Jack was setting his bear
traps among the buckwheat and COW
| ering them with leaves, and when they
saw what he was doing made fun of
him and told about him at the most of
fee, so that everybody heard of it and
the story got into the newspapers.
Two days later Jack took big fat
bear to Bangor and sold it for $50.
Since then he has caught two smaller
bears from the same lot and is looking
for more. AS the bushel Of bucl1wheat

good investment.

Spurious Silver Certificates.

State Treasurer Westerheld in his
settlement with the several counties
of the State received among other
moneys about $4,000 in 1OO-dolIar sill
yer certificates. The Treasurer sent,
a remittance of S6,7O4 Go to Lincoln
county, it being that county's share
of public school moneys according to
the semi-anpual apportlonment in
January, 1898. The money was sent
by Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express, and
in the remittance there were eight
silver certificates of 800 each. The
State Treasurer supposed the settle
ment was all right until day or two
ago when he received communica-
ton from Wells, Fargo & Co. 8 bank
at Salt Lake City informing him that
the silver certificates are not current
and will not be received by any bank.
The government has called in all 500
silver certificates, owing to danger
Gus counterfeit now in existence. 1t
is said the counterfeit notes were
made from genuine plates stolen from
the treasury department.
This is a nice "kettle of fish," The
government has such a holy horror
of silver that it does not take proper
precautions to prevent thieving
officials from stealing the original
Iokn ,ol, SInn

the danger of having 500 notes,
which come into their hands in tho

need spurious by the treasury
officials, though they we're printed on
treasury plates and are exact fac.

MOTOR IN HIS NECKTIE.
Novel Form Of Jewelry Built by an
Electrical Jeweler.

Novel Form Of JeweIry Built by an
Electrical Jeweler.
A Texas matchmaker and electrician
has built for himself q very effective and
novel scarf pin in the form of a tiny
electric motor, which, though only
weighing one pennyweight three grains,
is complete in every detail, and can be
operated when supplied with current.
This is probably the smallest operative
motor in the world. Gold takes the
place of copper throughout, and the
field magnets, which necessarily have
to be OF magnetic material, consist Of
two thicknesses of n very fine sheet
iron scraped down and polished. These
are held together with gold screws, and
wound in the regulation manner with
very fine silk-coyered wire. The com
mutator bars are also of gold, and the
smallest Of brushes deliver the current
to the armature windinGs. Notwith-
standing its minute size this little motor
runs at lively speed and creates quite
hum when supplied with current from
small silver-chloride battery carried
in the vest pocket.

PROSPERITY MADE TO ORDER.

1t seems that the wond, rful brand
OF maxim-made prosperity introduce
ed into the country by Mr.. Mckinley
and the Republican party is becom-
ing contagious in the east. 1t has
spread from the cotton mill operat-
ives to various others trades. The
last to get slice OF is--t.ot counting
those who are already down with it
are the shoemakers.
The employees il u great shoe man
ufactory in North Brookfield, Mass.
caught the contasion as a sort of
New Years gift. They were inform
ed that after the 1st their wages
would be cut down. This will, of
course, lead to cuts in all competing
establishments Of the east and north,
so that speaking after the manner of
the writer of Ecclesiastes, who was
also a'maxim-maker, and the end is
not yet.
The reason given by The manufac-
turers is that they are losing money,
and will have to go out of business if
they do not reduce the amount they
are compelled to pay their workmen.
The men have no other option than to
submit. They enter the second year
OF Republican prosperity with reduc-
ed wages.
Here is where the DinRley tariff
comes beautifully into play. That
law imposed a duty on hides-the
raw material out of which shoes are
made. 1t was expected, according to
the protection theory, that the manu-
facturers would recoup themselves
for the increased price of hides by
demanding larger price for their
shoes. But there is another link in
the cham that Mr.. Dingley failed to
take into consideration, to-wit, the
ability OF the people to pay higher
prices.
The result is precisely what the
Constitution said it would be when
the Dngley bill was up for discussion.
We cannot have the gold standard
and high protection at the same time.
One destroys the prosperity of the
people. and protection collapses when
the people are not prosperous. There
is duty on hides, and the man
ufacturers instead OF recoup-
ing themselves by charging higher
prices for their products, are compcn-
ed to "get even" by reducing the
wages Of their employees.
Thus it will be seen that our brand
OF maXim-made prosperity involves
lower wages FIR worxlngmen.-At-

The War Department Scandal.

~HE war win be fought all over
in elaborate detail next winter
when the congressional ~investi-
cation int the charges against the war
department begins. Secretary Alger is
said to be willing to have an invest
cation, provided he can keep the whole
matter entirely in his hands. A de-
partmental inquiry where he could keep
full control would suit him. But
whether this can be done remains to be
determined. So great is the public de-
mand that justice should be meted out
that even the president may be pow
erless TO stem the rising tide Of indig-
nation. Departmental Inquiries or not,
congress undoubtedly Will make an in
v~estigation on Its own account, 1t is
quite possible, too, that General Miles
will demand a court martial to sub
stantlate the accusations he has
brought against the department.
John Sherman declares that Alger
may be impeached. In an interview he
says: IF the president does not order
an investigation, congress holds the
power to impeach the secretary OF war,
and can inhict punishment that VIII
mean everlasting disgrace" MIR. sher-
man is in error. The constitution ex-
pressly declares that the president,
vice-president and all civil officers of
the United States shall be removed
from office on Impeachment for Il
conviction OF treason. bribery and other
high crimes and misdemeanors." Sec
Rotary Alger is not accused OF any
crime. He is accused only Of colossal
in~competency. John sherman as secre-
tary Of state was accused OF the very
same onense, bu nobody thought Of inn
peaching him. Secretary Alger's re-
tention OF his Office in the face OF his
glaring incompetency comes pretty near
being criminal; in fact. II is criminal
in a general, though not in a legal,
ense.
All there is about II, n tremendous
