PETER A coNvEETs

No. we don't think that ex-senator PEI
fer is a convert TO the doctrines Of the
Republican party. He always believed in
them. He has gone back TO that party
because he knows that Populsm is dead,
that there is nothing more in it in the
way of Offices for him. He became a
Populist because he saw a chance TO get
an Office of importance. something he
could never have gotten If he had re-
NAMED in the Republican party, because
there We're so many men in that party In
Kansas who were greatly superior TO him
in brain power. But among the Popuiists
he was a great man, and when they got
control Of the state they sent him TO the
Senate, where he was conspicuous only
for his whiskers and his vagaries.
He says he went into the Populist party
because he believed in the 16 10 l idea.
But he doesn't believe in that idea any
longer. Just what has occurred to cause
him TO change his mind he doesn't make
very plain. He simply says that he doesn't
think there is any silver question now;
that the money question is practically set
tied, and that being the case he is back
in the Republican party.
Some of the Republican papers of the
West are saying that the Democratic and
Populist papers will ridicule and revila
him for deserving the Populist party. 1t
isn't a matter of much consequence to
him probably whether the Populst papers
revile him or not, but it can be safely said
that the fact that he has gone back 10
the Republican party is a matter of no
consequence to the Democratic papers. 1t
is doubtful if any considerable number of
them viii waste space in either reviing or
ridiculing him.
As already stated il is doubtful if there
ever was time when, at heart, he was
not Republican. He was a Populist only
for the leaves and fishes. The Populist
party being no longer in a position to as
sist him in any way he makes haste to
get into the Republican organiza ton The
Democratic party loses nothing by his
change of base. In fact, it could lose
some members of the PETER kind with
out feeling that it's hold on the people was
less strong. If its efforts to grab the
PETER crowd had been less energetic the
factional differences in its own ranks
would be less marked.

QUESTIONS For THE PEACE CON-
FERENCE.

A delegate to the international peace
conference is quoted as saying that if the
conference should do nothing but agree
to the establishment of international arbi-
tration of an optional kind, and extend TO
the sea the same respect which is paid to
private property on land in time of war.
1t would do much" OF course il would.
but 1t is quite certain that the conference
will do nothing of the kind. Nothing would
please the United States and England
more than an international rule which
would protect private property on the sea,
IN time of war, and they would be glad
also TO have international arbitration.
They are the two great commercial coun-
tries, end If private property were as safe
on the sea as on land ia time of war their
navles would be free 20 attack the enemy
In his strongholds instead of protecting
their commerce.
Russia, however, didn't call this confer
ence for the purpose of comforting adj
vantages on other nations greater than
those likely to be gained by herself, and
1t is pretty certain that she will object
10 Inc prlVate-property-at-sea proposition
and probably to arbitration, and the con
tinental nations of Europe will follow her
example.
Russia would like to be relieved of the
necessity for maintaining so large a stand
ing army, The burden is an enormous
one, and, besides, she would like to have
the money that is required for the army
to use In making the internal improve
ments which she has projected. The whole
world viii be surprised If anything prac-
teal comes of the conference. sim, the
moral effect of 1t viii be good. and there
fore there will be no occasion to regret
that it was called.

Coy. Roosevelt is to receive the degree
of LII D. from Columbia University on

to confer the degree of LII. D. on Carl

Financial embarrassments of the Bor-
ghese family, due to reckless speculation
in land, has resulted in the sale to the
Italian government of the famous Bor-
ghese Art Gallery in Rome. The price
paid is given as 81, 100000 which is very
much less than would have been offered
by foreign bidders The government,
however, would not consent that any for
eign bids should be received. 1t is now
asserted that in order to reimburse itself
for this outlay the government will de-
mand from visitors an entrance fee to
many of the galleries and museums which
have heretofore been free.

ONE WAY TO FIGHT TRUSTS.

1t Is a question whether the way that is
provided by law in Missouri for fighting
trusts will prove beneficial to that state
in the long run. The law in eff
feet is that the purchaser of any article
or commodity is not liable for the pur-
chase price of such article or commodity
if purchased from a trust. and the pur-
ch ser is authorized to plead the law as
defense TO a suit for such price or pay
ment
Not long ago the National Lead Com
pany sued the S. e. Grote Paint Com
pany of st. Louis on a bill for lead pur-
chased from it, and the paint company
pleaded that the lead company was a
trust, and hence could not collect a debt
growing out of the sale of its goods in
Missouri. The courts decided in favor of
the paint company, as it was shown to
the courts satisfaction that the lead COM
pany was such a trust as was covered by
the statute.
If other states should pass an antitrust
law. similar to the Missouri law, trusts
would have pretty hard time of it,
since it is probable that there are per-
sons in every community who would not
hesitate to buy from trusts and then re-
fuse to pay for their purchases. Trusts
would be forced to sell for cash or go out
of business. But 1t is a question whether
a state would be benefited by giving such
open encouragement to dishonesty. Sure
ly there are ways of preventing trusts
without inviting people 10 become dis
honest only a small percentage of peo-
pie would, of course. take advantage of
such means as is provided in Missouri
for beating trusts, but these few might
be sufficient TO make it impossible for A
trust TO do business prohtably.

A good story is told of young man.
who, besides being of the spendthrift o.
der, is a splendid mimic, and can initiate
his fathers voice to nicely, says the
Weekly Telegraph. Not long ago the
young man wanted without delay some
money to pay a bill, and he knew that his
father would treat a request for the same

Waiting till he knew that his father
would be away, he went to the telephone
call room and rang up the office, calling
for the cashier. The cashier was forth
coming, and when he was at the other
end the young man initiated his sire s

The cashier promised that he would full

office there was a scene.

FORTUNES ovEnEsr1MArrn.

A writer in the New York Press, speak
ing of the fortune left by ex-Gov. Flow
er, says: III the real estate values are as
fictitious as fortunes of rich men 1t is time
for us all to turn bears on the market
and everything else. Roswell p. Flower
was believed by nearly every one to be
worth at least $40 900. Many thought
his estate would reach $25 10000 He left
less than 100000. Henry b. Hyde was
thought to be the wealthiest insurance
man in the world. yet his fortune of estl-
mated millions has dwindled down TO a
paltry $5S0,OOO. At this rate ]. p. Morgan
has less than $4,000, 600, Sage less than $15,-
100000, and Rockefeller less than $50, OOO,-
co., and all the Vanderbilts together less
than S75OOO,OOO."
It almost always turns out that q rich
mans estate is only fraction of wha; his
fortune was supposed to be during his life
time. The American people like big things
They take pride in magnifying the for
tunes OF their rich men. If man has a
half million dollars IL is pretty certain
TO be understood in the community in
which he lives that he has two or three
millions. If he has two or three millions
the estimates OF his fortune run all the
way from five to fifteen millions.
It is probable that Sage. Morgan, Rock
efeller and the Vanderbilts haven't
more than half what they are cred
tied with having. And yet, it is
the talk of great fortunes which
causes so much discomfort. Thou
sands of men in all parts of the
country seem TO feel that in the accumu-
latlon of great fortunes they have been
wronged in some way, and that the pos
| SCISSORS of them are enemies of society.
Why should a few have so much and we
have so little, is their constant question,
and they dwell on It so much that they
almost feel 1t to be their duty to assist
in upsetting society.
If those who are always wishing for
great fortunes knew how much care an
noyance and trouble We're connected with
them, and how little real pleasure they
brought their possessors, they wouldn /
waste so much time in wishing for thar
which is beyond their reach,

Another Sage story.

It would not be in order for a week to
pass without a new story on Mr.. Russell
Sage, says the New York Press. He IS
said to have subscribed 5000 toward the
Grant monument fund, and was called
on by the committee for the cash. He ac-
knowledged the promise, but said that he
was too busy just then to go TO the trust
company to get the money; if they would
call the next day he would be ready. They
called, and he went through the same rig
amarole, pleading pressure of important
financial affairs; would they drop in the
day after tomorrow? At the third visit
they urged him TO action, and he actually
started with them to the trust company
to deliver the goods. The door was nearly
reached when he threw up his hands, cry
ing piteously: Gentlemen, 1 can't do it,
1 can't do i'll I simply can't do it," He
could not find it in his great heart, to pari
with so much money.

Keep Blowing Away.

A young lady organist in a church In
Colorado was somewhat captivated with
the young pastor of church in the next
street, and was delighted to hear one week
that by an exchange he was to preach the
next Sunday in her own church, says an
exchange. The organ was pumped by all
obstreperous old sexton who would often
stop when he thought the organ volun-
tary had lasted long enough.
This day the organist was anxious that
all should go well, and as the service was
about to begin she wrote note intended
solely for the sections eye. He took it,
and, in spite of her agonized beckonings
carried it straight to the preacher.

Dreams of BOyhOOd.

I wish I were a boy again.
Back on the dear old place,
And full of dreams as / was then.
Ere lines showed in my face;
l wish that l could lie once more
Upon the new-mown hay
And have the thoughts had before
/ rashly came away.
1 used to think of life in town
AS something great and grand;
In dreams l wandered up and down
Through an enchanted land;
Things that | view as common now
Were full of wonder then,
And, oh, l wish that l, somehow,
Could be boy again.
l used to dream of days when L
Might earn my daily bread,
Not with my calloused hands, but by
Some genteei means instead
I looked upon the one who toiled
With honest pity then
1 wish my hands were hard and soiled
And dreams were sweet again.
And there was one 1 used to know
When l was ten and she
Was twenty-four or five or so,
Who had charm for me
Such as no other ever may,
However sweet or fair
1 wish l were a boy to-day
And she could still be there.
How sweet the time of boyhood seems
AS / look back to-day;
How pleasant were the dear old dreams
That time has swept away;
All, yes; I'd be a careless lad
Back on the farm again
But not if father kept the CAD
With which he drove me then.

AGUINALDO IS A DIPLOMAT.


Aguinaldo is a queer sort Of a diplomat.
| He appears to think he can gain his point
by continuing 10 make propositions which
have been repeatedly refused. He has
sent three commissions to Gen. OTIS 10
| open the way 10 peace. and each time Re has
made exactly the same proposition. The
first commission was authorized to propose
an armlstice to last until the Filipino con-
gress could meet and decide whether to
accept Gen. Otis terms or to continue war.
Gen. Oils todd him emphaucally that I'M
der no circumstances would he recognize
the existence Of the Filipino congress. The
second commission made exactly the same
proposition and received the same answer,
and now the third commission is at Ma
Mia with no authority except TO propose
an armistce in order that the Filipino
congress may have a chance to decide
what shall be done.
Gen. Otis cannot. of course admit that
there is such a body as the Filipino con-
gress. To do so would be TO announce
that the Fnipinos have a, government of
their own, and had such govern
ment before Admiral Dewey entered Ma
Mia bay. Spain didn't recognize such a
government, and we should make a very
great mistake if we should admit that the
Fnipinos have a government. A compar-
in revolt against the spaniards, and only
a small portion of them are in revolt
against our authority
There is no doubt that the insurgent
army is in a bad way. It has suffered
50 many defeats that there is but little of
it left. If Aguinaldo had any substantial
backing ne would not be sending commits
sion TO Gen. OTIS. What he expects 10
gain, however, by making substantially
the same proposition through each success
sive commission is one of the things for
which there does not seem to be any salts
factory explanation. Gen. Otis may I'M
derstand what his purpose is, but there
has been nothing in the dispatches which
affords an explanation of it. 1t can hard
~ be that he hopes to gain time to reor-
ganize his forces, because Gen. Otis takes
care that he gains no advantage by his
requests for cessation of hostilities until
the Filipino congress can meet and consid-
er the situation.
The suggestion has been thrown out that
his purpose is 10 invite Gen. Otis to offer
him and some of his leaders a large sum
of money to surrender and leave the coun-
try. If that is his purpose it is probable
that he will be disappointed To bride
him to consent to peace, would amount to
inviting him to incite a revolt whenever
he got out Of money and wanted to fill his
purse. In order to have lasting peace
in the islands, it is necessary to make the
Filipdnos understand that we have the
power to compel respect for our authority,
and then deal with them in so liberal a
manner that they will be willing to ac-
cept our authority, and will, under our
guidance, prepare themselves for self
government. There are indications in the
dispatches that some of the most inhuen-
tial F1lipinos are anxious to have our
government remain in control of the ISL
ands, giving the Filipinos large meas
une of autonomy.
