UNHEALTHY SYMPTOMS.

The constant recurrence of ques-
the attorney general, in relation to the
limit Of Indebtedness beyond which the
county cannot legally go, and in re-
lation to liabilities that are in dispute
because 1t Is not clear whether or not
they are within that limit, constitutes
an unhealthy symptom of the body
polite of the commonwealth. The
many OF the larger Incorporated towns
of the State are having over the same
class OF problems, shows that the dis
ease has permeated cities as well as
counties, in municipal capacity. The
anxious inquiry Is, how much bigger
can we make the burden the people
have TO carry? And the burden is made
as big as the limit, and some times
little more so.
The subterfuges and stratagems and
Juggling with figures that have to be
resorted to in order to give an out
ward appearance of legality to county
and city warrants, is disgraceful; and
the number of municipalities. includ-
ing both cities and counties. that have
been practioing such methods, is sur
prising. 1t is fast becoming the cx>
ception rather than the rule for NUM-
cipalities in this State to live within
their legitimate incomes. A mania for
issuing bonds seems to prevail, while
the old-fashloned custom of cutting the
garment according to the cloth is
looked upon with disdain. and pub
lie officer who urges it is called n moss
back and his first term in Office is
likely to be his last.
There is another unhealthy symptom
widely prevalent in this State. which
can better be perceived under the ligh,
of contrast with former conditions
than otherwise. a few years ago the
appointment of a postmaster partlcu-
larly in small place, excited little
or no interest or comment. The APP
pointee accepted the office more as an
accommodation TO his neighbors than
an honor or source of profit to himself
Such thing was rarely or never wit
messed as wire pulling or log rolling fol
the purpose of securing such an Office
as justice of the peace, constable, road
supervisor, etc. But since Mr.. Nc
Kinley became President, every little
one-horse, ten cent postoffice in the
State has become an object of envlous
and Jealous strife. Men who, a few
years ago could not have been pre-
vailed upon to accept the Office OF
postmaster, now "wire-pull" and "log-
roll" to get it, as II 1t were u Klondike
placer There is no less rivalry over
such Offices as justice of the peace, con-
stable and road supervisor; while the
honor of being elevated to the POSI-
tion of town dog pelter is the inspiring
ambition OF many stout yoeman.
Petitions without number are sent In
to boards of county commissioners
and city councils, and other sources OF
appointive power asking for places OF
one kind or another. A man win often
strive hard to secure an official posi-
tion that will not pay nearly as rood
n salary as he could earn in private
life. Public pap has come to have an
astonishing charm for hosts of men In
our youthful State, and 1t is a bad
sign.

FUELING WARSHIPS.
Bunikers of Our Great ocean
Fighters Full of Coal.

One of the greatest triumphs of the
war which has been hidden from pub
lie observation has been the work of
the several bureaus of the navy de-
partment in furnishing supplies and
equipments for the troops. says a
Washington dispatch in the Chic&go
Record. As Secretary Long remarked
liz d recent interview, their duties have
been quite as valuable as those of the
feet in Cuban waters or the harbor
Of Manila. But for their foresight and
executive ability the ships might have
been helpless for the lack of fuel, am
muntion and food. The superiority
f our naval organzatio ion and he abil
ity of our bureau chiefs has been dem
onstrated in a striking manner. One
of the most remarkabl has been fur
nished by the bureau of equipment in
the distribution of coal. No matter
how: frequently or. suddenly the scene
CT naval activity is changed, the yes
sells must have fuel, and it has been
Comm ocore Bradford's business to see
that loaded Golfers were on hand
when they were wanted. Without the
employment of an extra clerk and
without the slightest parade he has
succeeded in keeping the bunkers of
every vessel in the navy full Gf coal
from the beginning Of hostilities, no
matter whether they were on the
North Atlantic coast or in the Carib-
bean sea, or in the ports of the Pacific
or the Philippine islands. AT the same
time he has been able to furnish fuel
for the army transports in both oceans
without allowing His Goa! piles at the
source of supply to be diminished.
Some idea Of the magnitude Of this
task is suggested by the fact that
within the last four months 10000
tons of coal have been delivered to the
ships Of the United States navy in va
rious parts of the world, at a cost of
nearly 81, 600 600. Over $4,000 tons have
been distributed from Key West alone
and 10000 tons from Honolulu.

PATRIOTISM AT WEDDINGS.
Now Is the. Time When Invited Guests
Can Show Their Love of Country
IN Their Gifts.

With the advent of the Spanish war
patriotic weddings came into vogue.
Likewise patriotic presents were also
considered stylish. No bride is
thoroughly in the fashion these days,
says. the. Chicago Chronicle, unless
large proportion Of the gifts that come
to her have reference in their design
and colors to the war and the United
States. Favorite wedding presents OF
this sort are flag picture frames, which
may be found in great variety. These
have flags painted on background of
white enamel, Or the frames them
selves are made of flags of silk draped
on a foundation of wood and covered
with glass. Wedding gift novelties
such as these are unending, and they
are the rage off the hour to send to
coming bride. Ihare has been. already
at least one patriotic wedding of i'm
poTtance. At this the star gift was
pin that was said to have cost $500. It
had three stones-a ruby, turquoise
and diamend--as cfose to design of
red, white and blue as can be produced
in jewels. When made this ring was
unique, but the design has since been
widely copied. Another present that
came to this bride of the patriotic we'd
ding was a dinner set of white china,
each piece of which was adorned with
hand painted. American flags. Fet an
other set of gifts were lamps of red
white and blue, with shades of the same
colors decOratiyeIy made.

MASONS IN THE WAR.
Noted for Their Intense PafriOtism-
Many ofsThem Enlist and Lodges
Are FcrEned.

A large proportion of. the soldiers.
wha,h4%e gQ.na qsrT, are making, ready to
go to the war are masons, an order
universally noted for its intense pa
triotism, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The lodge" has been made to cover
multitude cf small, sins by those who
needed a convenient excuse to be alb
sent frqIa home, but all true masons
are none the less strongly attached to
it. The question has been asked what
masonic soldiers do in lieu of lodge
meetings.
They don't do without them," said
Secretary Laften, Of the Wisconsin
grand lodge of masons, recently, when
approached on the subject. why, dur
ing our last war they had masonic
lodges in the army. Some of the grand
lodges granted dispensations. fp,E the
organization of lodges.
''If the army was near a, city they
rented halls for meetings, If they
were not near any city they held their
sessions in an officers tent. Officers
of the army in many cases were mem
bers of the masonic fraternity, and it
was an easy thing to. have the tent in
which the meeting was held sufficient
ly protected from intrusion. Guards
were posted and no one was allowed
within hearing distance unless they
could pass the guard, who, Of course
was a mason selected for the occa-
sion"

A SchIey Coincidence.

In 1884. just after Commodore Schley
returned from rescuing the survivors
of the Greely Arctic expedition, the
ssachusetts Humane society pre-
sented him with a handsome medal
for his achievement, and Benjamfn W.
CroWninchield, one of the Bay states
great orators, was sent to Washington
to make the presentation speech. On
the way to the capital Mr.. Crownin-
chield fell in with an old and prom
inent resident of Boston, who took the
privilege of. asking the orator what
his mission in Washington was" In
reply the old gentleman was shown the
medal and told what was to be done
with it. Strange coincidence, muscd
the venerable gentleman from the
Hub. GForty-four years ago, in 1870,
rode over this same line and met
Gen. Winfield Scott. I was as inquisi-
tive then as now, and asked him where
Re was going. He said that son Of
his friend, Mr.. Schley, had been named
for him and that he was going to Mary

when its romantic origin is considered,
for it is the echo still lingering about

Same Missiles.

In 1912, during the struggle between
the British and the Beers over the re-
occupation of Natal by the former, the
British made an attack on the Boer
camp, which failed through misman-
agement ap1 resulted in comparatively
heavy loss. This was followed by
Boer attack on the position called "The
Point" garrisoned by 25 men, in which
the Beers were again successful. They
now made an onslaught on the en-
trenched camp on the Durham fat-the
original position, where the enemy's
colors had been hauled down, and turned
against the British the 18-pounder CAP
tured at the point. Both sides were
short of ammunition. The British
watched the shots from the captured
gun, picked them up and fred them
back again. The enemy were not slow
to follow the example, so that the mis-
siles served both sides several times
