The refusal to make martyr of NJ.
Guerin is an indication of strength
rather than weakness on part of the
French government. The foOlishness
of this seeker of notoriety can best be
cured by ridicule. The storming Of
Guerlns fort and the loss of life would
have dignified the act of the cranky
i-Dreyfusard; but the spectacle of
the would-be agitator behind locked
doors bewailing the absence of mutton
for his Sunday dinner, eliminates en-
tirely the heroic features necessary to
claim the admiration of the public.

A philanthropic and enterprising
New Yorker has opened an "all night"
shoe store with a view of catching the
customer who wanders home at 3 a.
m. The shoe dealer declares that a
man in a happy frame of mind after
an evening at the club is more likely
at this time to be suited with patent
feathers than at any other; or If he
happens to fall asleep during the try
ing on process, the sale is even more
assured. There are all-night saloons,
all-night cigar stores and all-night
dentists and brokers, doubtless an all
night halter, tailor or art dealer might
succeed admirably. There are minis
ters who have night bella marriage
bcll--and are glad to open unto him
who rings at the most unseemly hour;
Why should not other reputable busi-
ness men besides the shoe dealer run
opposition to the saloon and the club?
Who knows but that q man who has
set forth with the determination to get
one more drink may not be beguiled by
the possibility of purchasing a necktie
or a new shirt and thus another line
of self sustaining missionary work be
established.

An Uncertain Outlook.

The Dreyfus trial continues to bring
forth proofs of the racial prejudice ex-
listing in France. In the last days pro-
ceedings the evidence came out that
when at military college Dreyfus had

still holding the place reached by his
intelligence and faithful work, he heard
that member Of the examining board

Ed. L. Kean, of the Publishers Press,
has succeeded in forwarding by mail
bitter complaint regarding the CEN
sorship of news from the Philippines.
1t is possible there may be some foun-
dation for the statement on part of the
correspondent to the effect that i'm
portant news has been suppressed by
the cable censor, but when one looks
back at the fairy tales that flooded
the yellow newspapers at the time Of
the engagements in Cuba it is easy
to realize that the world might better
occasionally miss an interesting item
of war news than to be kept in a state
of constant unrest through the un-
bridled efforts of the feverish war cor
respondent.

The lot of a Methodist preacher is
not always a happy one. He must
move every five years whether he
would or not and the Methodist par
sonage is a favorite resort for thieves,
who apparently doubt the ministerial
following of the Bible injunction to
lay not up treasures on earth. as they
habitually break in and steal his dona-
tion gifts and his anniversary silver.
But not every minister is called upon
to suffer what happened to a pastor Of
a Washington ID. c. Methodist
church. He was at Bar Harbor the
other day and naturally enough the
authorities believed that no real
Methodist preacher could afford the
tariff at that swell resort, so they
promptly arrested him under the hal
luCinatiOn that he was a murderer in
disguise who had killed a man in
Washington. After the unhappy
preacher had been handcuffed and
yanked around the place for a while,
the mistake was discovered, but his
wounded feelings are still unsoothed.

Bridgeport, Conn, is agitated over
street sprinklng. 1t appears that city
has most admirable ordinance which
provides that the traction company
must sprinkle the lines, and two feet
outside it's tracks, twice a day, and not
more than four times, but the ordin-
ance has not been enforced this season.
The people desire to know why. The
traction company excuses itself by the
statement that its trolley sprinkler is
out of order and the new one has not
arrived, while the Bridgeport Evening
Post sarcastically suggests that the COM
pany should now be required to get it's
snow ploughs in repair in order to be
ready for blizzards next winter. The
Scranton citizen has never contemplate
ed the bliss of having the streets
sprinkled from two to four times a day
by anything but his own garden hose
and the idea of having a trolley
sprinkler under the management OF
the traction company is one that fills
him with admiring awe.

Anti-Quay Leaders.

Senators VIM. Finn, of Allegheny:

The sheriff was asked to make
out his feed bill according to old
forms, as in that the CRIME and
for the time the prisoner was
committed would be- shown.
Chairman Carney wished to
know if the board could feed the
prisoners in the jlil instead of
the sheriff. The question OF liza
bility arose in case any ESCAPED.
Mcleod asked if sheriff was
ever held liable for their escape.
He said he had never heard Of a
case. Deputy Clerk Ciyatt cited
the removal of a sheriff from Of
flee in DeSoto county for permit
ting prisoners to escape. Mr..
Allen read the law, which said
that the board could feed them if
there was an average of more
than ten prisoners. There was
cOnsidcra ble discussion on this
subject and great diversity of
views expressed, yet the senti-
ment was that the sheriff was
making too good a thing out of
tie county at the price be was
paid, namely: 40 cents a day,
which the law allowed him, when
in reality it cost about Il! cents
a day to feed 4 prisoner. Mr..
Mcleod remarked that he pro-
posed last fall TO go to the lrgiS-
lature on this question bat the
people didn't agree with him.
