A former postmaster of Georgia has

A former postmaster of Georgia has been sent to prison for two years for
 the embezzlement of five DESERTED hundred dollars belong
 BY THE ing to the government. POPULISTS. He pleaded guilty and
 thus his sentence was mitigated. He was chairman of tho Georgia populist executive committee and was told that the only thing nec- essary to carry the state by his party was more money. Then he used money that belonged to the government for the use of his party. He had been promised a good office and given 10 understand the usual thing. When the election was over he was unable to re- turn the money, his party friends de- serted him, and now he is in prison.
 The moral of this old story has been pointed out so often that it is not worth while to attempt to make it clear again. Back of the transaction, how ever, is the significant fact that popu lists when engaged in politics do not differ from any other kind of men. They use mocey just the same for campaign purposes and they are just as deeply interested in schemes to get votes as any one else. When those Georgia populists left their chairman in the lurch-and we presume he made them acquainted with this dilemma they demonstrated themselves lacking in gratitude and not possessed of hon est instincts. It was their duty to make good the money spent by their chairman even though that would not have atoned for his offense against the government. They accepted the use of the money embedded and it makes no difference at all whether or not they knew the funds supplied had been stolen. In theory they were at least partners in the crime.
 The Georgia postmaster is not the first man who has delved in politics and has found himself deserted by those for whom he became Q thief. Politics have been the ruin of men for time out of mind, and it is the most contemptible transaction for a party organization to use money obtained by theft and then decline to make it up. In a strict sense the Georgia populists were morally responsible for the crime of the former postmaster. Further it is now known that all the honesty among politicians is not confined to those who go to the polls under the populist banner and inveigh against politicians.

The situation in Wall street is nat urally attracting much attention at a
 time when so many self

 LAYTON. quiet f1iers in stocks
 that just now seem dis inclined to fly. We read day after day of the great fall of securities and the high rate of money, and yet a slight study of the books of reference will show that the stocks which purchasers for investment want to buy are much higher than a year ago and still so high as seldom to yield five per cent on their cost-often not four. Similarly those who try today to buy bonds that will yield five per cent find that, in spite of ten and twenty per cent mon ey. they cannot get five per cent bond investments. In some cases three and a half per cents are up above par.
 This seems to indicate that there are two entirely distinct elements in finance these days. One concerns itself with  purchases for the future as well as the present, looks for an abiding value, pays little regard to daily fluctuations, and seems to have plenty of money at all times. The different investors in this field compete with each other and choice securities are about as hard to get as ever. The chief trouble is w!st the kites that it was expected would stay up no matter how much string was paved out. They have their linn its. The string and the tails in time become too heavy. Apparently the lenders of money, who have made the speculation in so many new and wa tery enterprises possible have deter

THEATER FOR WORKMEN.

Arthur Krupp, a cousin of the great German iron founder, erected Q theater year ago in Berndorf. Austria, for the benefit of the Workmen employed in his great steel works at that place. It was to have been dedicated by the Empress Elizabeth, but her assassination oc- cured just before the time set for the ceremonies. Ten days ago Emperor Francis Joseph formally opened it in the presence of a great crowd. The theater is small, seating but 500 but it is described as being very beautiful in its decorations and adornments and most complete for the purposes to which it is to be devoted.-From a Der lin Letter.

A professor in the medical school of Yale university has been arrested on the charge of grave robbery. The pro- lessor became deeply interested in the case of a colored girl, who died from a complication of diseases, and whose relatives would not allow an autopsy to be performed. In order to find out the cause of death, the medical man attempted to rob the grave. According to the statutes of Connecticut, the pro- lessor should be heavily fined and sen fenced to prison. Jerry Crunchers in universities and colleges are more un- common than they were some years ago. A body snatcher in the guise of a university professor is no better than an animal inside the skin of a jackaI.

A PICTURE JUST OF YOUR EYES.

A new fad is that of having the eye photographed. Young girls now are sending photographs of their eyes, only one eye in the photograph, to their friends. If sent anonymously a great deal of fun is obtained in guessing whose it is. Small evening parties are entertained with a collection of the photographs of the eyes of those pres ent, and guessing contests with prizes make up the game. The pictures are numbered and the tally cards have cor responding numbers. Even with the originals present it is puzzling.-Kan- sas City Star.

these additional committees is clearly indicated by it's title. The problems to be dealt with in the various islands which has passed under American con- tIol are so complex and in some re- spects so contradictory that it would have been difficult if not impossible to handle them in a single committee The status Of Porto Rico. Hawaii and Guam is virtually the same, and the task of providing them with fixed systems of civil government is properly relegated to a single committee. Similar provis ion is made for the Philippines, where the conditions are entirely unlike those which prevail in any of our other island possessions. Cuba also con stitutes an issue by itself, and it's af- fairs are referred to a committee de- signed exclusively to deal with them- The committee on coast and insular surveys is general, and it's work will extend to all the island territories.
 The makeup of these committees, so far as their republican members are concerned, is admirable. They are talk en largely from the old committee on foreign affairs, and are men of large experience in treating the questions arising from the war with Spain. This distribution, among four new commit tees. of the difficult and exacting work of legislating for the island territories, is judicious and business-like, and it opens the way for a harmonious ad- justment of the disordered relations which now prevail. It is the first prac- tical step in the construction of an in sular policy which shall promote the mutual interests of the United States and its outlying territories.

THE SENATE COMMITTEES.

The encouragement of the senate committees means something for both the republican party and the west. Four new committees have been ere ated as follows: One to be known ohi- cially as the committee on the Philip pines; another as the committee on the Pacific islands and Porto Rico; a third to be called the committee on relations with Cuba, and a fourth designated as the committee on coast and insular surveys.

mined not to assist further in that business and as result there is a slump. This is not unhealthy. It is better than a crash. With the tight ening of money and the restriction of speculation, things can settle down comparatively gradually and a read justment be effected that will hurt some but not disturb all as a general collapse has to do.

It is astonishing that people can g.. themselves so muddled as many are
 about this question as
 THIS to when the nineteenth
 1900" century ends and the
 TALK. twentieth century be-
 gins. It's as simple as the question when one ends and two be- gins. The first century could not e:.,i with the end of the year 99 for then il would have consisted of only ninety nine years and a full hundred are need cd to make a century. The first cen tury therefore ended with the end of the year 100 and the second century be- gan with the first day of the year iO1. Take a table like this:
 First century: Through the year IOa. Second century: Years 1O1 through 200.
 Nineteenth century: Years 1901 through 1900.
 Twentieth century: Years 1901 through 2OOO
 That is as simple as rolling off a loc And yet here is the report that the young emperor of Germany Las de- creed that the year 1900 shall be cele- brated as the beginning of the twenti- eth century, and Caroline Hazard, one of the most intelligent women of the country, has published her reason for believing that the new century begins with 1900. All it wants is little plain arithmetic. Any one who admits that it took hundred years to make the first century must grant that the sec ond began with 1O1 and that :onfssses the whole case.

state Grange DeJide. to Take .
Hand I'm Future Legislative
Matters.

Lansing. dec. 10. The executive
ted its report Thursday. After con-
graduating the grange on the good
work and the phenomenal growth OF
the order during the past year few
lines of action were suggested. The
work of he legislative committee was
reviewed. Ii was stated that the bills
to prohibit the coloring and sale of
o,eomargarines were defeated in both
branches of the Legislature because OF
the refusal Of one branch 10 pass the
bills of the other. The employment of
influences more potent than ours, TO
defeat this needed legislation was re-
ferred TO. The bills for so-called equal
taxation were discussed, and the legis-
lature was commended for it's support
of the measures Endorsed by the grange.
The fact that other matters of legis-
lation favored by the grange were not
successful, were attributed partially to
the fact that the appointment of leg
slative committee was made too late.
Ii was recommended that the work next
year be commenced at once, and that
each subordinate grange select forth
with one membert to serve as an advisory
committee 20 work in conjunction with
the legislative branch of the executive
committee TO secure the nomination of
good and faithful men to the legisla-
ture-men whose aim it shall be to leg
sate for the interests of all the people,
and who will recognize that great truth
that public Office is a sacred trust
The insurance feature of the grange
was given enthusiastic Endorsement. 1t
was said that the success of the move
ment has already been realized. 1t was
recommended that the executive COM
mittee be authorized TO put into opera
tion "A plan for an organization of an
insurance company which shall cover
all territory in the state not now occu-
pied by local associations, and from
which local associations may be
formed
