Perhaps there wont be much of a row over Congressman Roberts, the Mor- mon after all. It is now said that he will resign his seat in congress as soon as practicable after being sworn in, and that his resignation will be final and not for the purpose of being reelected as "vindication." The purpose of his resignation will be to avoid the ventila- ton of the internal concerns of the Mor- mon Church, which is sure to follow If his status in the house is attacked and committee investigates it. The elders of the church think that his retirement will cause the whole matter to quiet down, and that a -polygamous Mor- mon can be elected in his place, who will take as good care of the church's interests as Roberts would have taken.
 This would be a shrewd move, and as the Mormons are shrewd it is quite probable that it will be made If it isn't it Is evident that the Mormons will have some extensive explaining to do.

The Boers mud the British.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Father O'Reilly has made a surpris. | Ing discovery. You report his state | ment "that the Germans, Italians | Greeks, Armenians or French Separate | ly or collectively?) in this common
 wealth (Massachusetts) are as numer-
 ous four times over as the British are
 in the Transvaal." It follows that &C., | cording to his sources of information, there are at least 350,000 persons in Massachusetts to whom English Is a foreign tongue. Even if his figures are reliable, he misrepresents the case, i. e., the question as to whether the exclusive
 use of Dutch patois in the Transvaal
 law-courts constituted a legitimate grievance to British residents, who
 know that in adjacent colonies of Brit
 ish South Africa both languages are freely used, The English-spealfing in
 habitants of the Transvaal are vari-
 ously estimated at from 59 to 70 per
 cent. of the whole white population.
 Whatever the number of foreign resi- dents in Massachusetts may be, it falls far short of this proportion.
 Or does Father O'Reilly base his cal culation on the number of the British who remain in the Transvaal since the war began six weeks ago, either be- cause they are too poor to move their families and their belongings several hundred miles, or because they object to the Boer decree that those who seek refuge in British territory shall be robbed on the frontier of the money which they carry with them? The Dutch name for this performance is Communicating Our forefathers call ed it highway robbery; and I do not know that modern English provides any equivalent for the oldfashioned term which better describes the act. In the face of this eXtortion the British have, for the most part, left the Transvaal; and on the basis of the small number who remain Father O'Reilly's figures may be correct At the same time it must be remembered that, at the pres ent moment, no business at all is being between British and Dutch in the Transvaal law-courts, and the grievance existed only during the resi- dence of the British population.

---------------- LUCKY BALTIMORE.

| Mayor Hayes, Baltimores new may expected of him, and If he acts as he | talks he will meet the expectation. He l has made the following statement of
 his attitude and policy: The admins
 tration of the city's government during
 my official term shall be business one
 and kept out of politics. By kept out
 of politics I mean this I shall require
 my appointees of heads of departments
 and sub-departments to run their de-
 partments In the interests of the city,
 and not politics. They shall be men fit
 ted to discharge the duties of their re-
 with these men shall be the city's well
 fare, not politics, and in the appointing of their respective subordinates only men shall be appointed who can give the city the best service. The use of municipal position to advance the in- terests of any politician or party will be at once proper reason for the remov- al of such subordinate, and if the head of the department or sub-department does not remove such subordinate I will remove the head of the department or department who so fails. The mu- nicipal government of Baltimore shall not become a political machine, nor shall it's affairs be run by politicians. I am to be the mayor of this city, and there can be no power behind the throne to whom my municipal officials shall owe any allegiance except the and Republicans, and they shall be the | best citizens of our city. I am deter l mined to keep politics out of the muni- ! cipal government, and l believe I will l have the support of my party in this l effort; if do not, I will break with my party, as I believe the best service ' can render my party is to give the city | a business, non-political administra- ton.
 Such talk is refreshing Mayor Hayes ! evidently means what he says. If he in being the kind of mayor he means to be Baltimore will have great benefit and be an example to other cit es.

AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN nANs.

fl " ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN TANSAS s.
 Awhile ago everybody was asking, Whats the matter with Kansas? Kan sas isn't quite as conspicuous as she
 was when she was full of calamity and
 populists, but she occasionally comes to the front queerly now. An ingenious attempt to explain her is made by MT. w. A. White, who writes to the Atchison Globe that what Kansas needs is cooks. There is, adds MT. White, "too much monkey business going on about this, that or the other cause. Give men and women good, wholesome food and they will have good, wholesome minds to consider public questions in good, wholesome, sensible manner. Populism is the outward and visible sign of the frying pan If the women of Kansas had known how to broil meat on hot gridiron the men of Kansas would not have made tho State laughing stock for half a decade and pounded the price of real estate down to a humiliat- ing point. Fried steak has no more nutriment than fried shavings, yet thousands of pounds are chucked into the sour stomachs of this town every month''
 This is ingenious and plausible, and yet New England cannot be explained by the poor cooking which went on in it when it was at the height of it's and strength. Fried salt pork, codfish, beans and fried steak helped make New England, or, if they didn't, they didn't make it like Kansas.

A Fine Distinction In Tailor Cow

rAhe okstincftoh In Tailor Gowns
 Stitched bands of applied cloth are a much favored trimming, and the ten- dency in the newest gowns is toward striking finish of this sort. Shown bere is an example of this, gown of tan cloth. The band trimming was white cloth stitched in red, and collar and revers were black and white striped vel- vet edged with the red-stitched cloth. Plain white was used in the chemisette. The cut of this overskirt and bodice were unusual and answered a strong demand. But women who fear to go too far in such way in striving for nov city will find that a gown of somewhat conventional cut can be made individ- ual enough by some of these new band

The Philadelphia Record tells about a
 relic factory hidden away in a clump
 of trees near Gettysburg. The value of
 this years production will be about $20,-
 900. and it consists of "old bullets, old
 cannon balls, soldier buttons buckles,
 swords, pieces of bone and sabretasches,
 all of course, of very ancient and
 worn appearance. These are the cheap
 or products. There are besides, in the
 finer and more costly lines, Testaments
 bored through by bullets, love letters burned by powder and stained dark with blood, skulls with big leaden balls
 lodged neatly in the eye sockets uI the jaw, and the full uniforms, properly
 nunctured and bloodstained, of all the officers slain upon the battlefield. The factory makes nothing in advance, thus avoiding overstocking. It only runs on orders, and by night the customers call for their goods. They are the innkeep- ers the grocers, the saloonkeepers bak- CTS and real estate men of the town, and whenever it is moonlight they may he seen distributing the rare relics eau tiously and judiciously over the field. l Visitors there now are more numerous | than they used to be.

Towing of canal boats by electric trac- tion is to be tested on an extensive scale next year along the line of the Erie ca nal. Motors and appliances for moving one thousand boats are to be installed, and every effort will be made to demon strate the utility and cheapness of the new method of transporting canal freight. Better and less costly means of traction are all that is necessary to insure the superiority of the canals as common carriers of coarse freights, and this forthcoming experiment on the Erie canal may prove to be q decided step in that direction.

From the cradle to the grave is the course
we must all run, and it will prove thorny,
cherries way should we choose pride for
our companion.
knew OF little girl who was poor, the
child Of worthy but not wealthy parents.
She was the light Of the family fireside,
merry and helpful, and sang blithely as she
helped her mother in the kitchen and
dairy. Her mother gave her careful in
structions in household duties, taught her
personal tidiness, and, although she was
obliged to wear cheap clothing, she had a
knack Of looking better than some who had
richer attire.
She could put on her clothes with good
effect hooks and buttons were in place,
collar or rut1le intact, dresses fitted nicely
il she did make them herself. How happy
! is the mother of such a child. What are
riches compared to living treasure like
| this? But mothers are not permitted long
enjoyment Of this sort, there is mostly a
man on the alert trying to make that mis-
cradle thing, mother-in-law, Of her. THAT
is an easy thing to do" said the Head Of
the Sidneys. And so this fair specimen Of
young womanhood was spirited away to
another homo to use her splendid abilities
there Men are not all fortune seekers,
there are several, or more, who would
rather have a fortune in a wife than with
her it lasts longer, is more agreeable,
doesnt throw up the odd dollar at him,
nor take wings and fly away so fast The
new home our young friend went to was
not rich one, but the foundation was laid
! for wealth-there were industry and econ
| omy to build OH, and no false pride or love
| Of display to cripple their efforts. OF course
they increased in basket an1 store.
What then could there be to mar the
felicity Of home like this? They had
bright and talented children, and desired
them to have a better chance in life than
they had, an easier road to travel than they
had travelled. They spared no expense fn
educating them and fitting them for sue
cessful endeavors. They married unhap-
PLY the care Of their homes was too bur-
densome for them they had been money
spenders and not money-makers bread
winning and frugality were Incompatible
with their refined tastes, pride had crept in
[ and did its work. And so the dear woman
whose youth was happy in poverty is spend
ing her last days mourning over her help
less children, that she had fondly hoped to
lean on in age Why should the spirit of
mortal be proud? Why has the love OF
display, and Of easy places driven out the
unobtrusive virtues, the quiet worth that
seeks not admiration or praise, but simply
desires to be good? What doth the Lord
require OF thee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
Him? Pride is neither good to live by nor
to die by.
"'Tis an old maxim in the schools,
That vanity's the food of fools"
believe il is true.
