Unfortunately, not single skull bore
the regulation stamp and as by French
law the authorities can confiscate all

ten unfortunate men who We're in i'm

aiarming-at least the public thought
so; the ten, however, never lost their

rather his employer, would be only a
well-fitting wig the worse.

Pomeroy as a Precedent.


Butte Miner have recalled the
case of United States Sena-
tor Samuel C. Pomeroy of Kansas, who,
as candidate for reelection, in 1873,
was defeated by the Kansas legislature
as a result of the exposure of his bri-
berry methods. The Independent and
the Miner, we say, have recalled this
case, only to misstate it in all essential
endorsed Mr.. Pomeroy's practically I'M
supported assertion that it was con-
spracy against him. The actual facts
established his guilt beyond any reason
able doubt. These facts may be found
in the report of a special investigating
committee appointed by the United
States senate. The report appears in
''Tafts Compilation of Senate Election
Cases from 1889 to 1885," beginning at
page 376
1t appears that, one day when a ballot
for United States senator was being
taken in the Kansas joint assembly,
state senator named York arose and
stated that for the purposes of expos
ing him, he had accepted from Mr.
Pomeroy the day before the sum of
$1,000 as bride for his vote. The
money was put in evidence. and the in
dignation aroused was so great that
Pomeroy was defeated. Later on Pom
eroy admitted that he had put the $1,000
into York's hands, asserting that he had
given it to him with the understanding
that York was to carry it to a man
named Page, whom he, Pomeroy, de-
sired to assist in starting bank.
Page backed Pomeroy up in this
statement, but at best it was a very
weak defense, and the majority report
shows that the senate investigating
was in Topeka at the time, and the
senate committee could find no salts
factory reason why Pomeroy should
send him the money by York instead of
giving it to him direct. Pomeroy was
forced to admit that he had taken no
receipt for the money. How did it
happen" asked the majority report of
the committee, that no one was pres
ent at either of the two interviews be-
tween Mr.. York and Mr.. Pomeroy?
How did it happen that Mr.. Page and
Mr.. Pomeroy, holding their mutual re-
lations, did not meet when they were in
Topeka from Monday till Wednesday?
Why did not Mr.. Pomeroy give the
money Mr.. York was to take to MIR.
Page in sealed PACKAGE"
This majority report was signed by
Senators Frelingshuysen, Buckingham
and Alcorn. Although they plainly in
: Dictated in their report that they be-
lieved Pomeroy had INDUCED in brib-
cry. they charitably refrained from pro-

MEXICAN PROVERBS.
Some Trite Sayings from the Land of the Cigarette and
 TOrtiiia.

There are many fine epigrams and proverbs in Spanish. Many of them cannot be translated so as to preserve the terseness and aptness of the orig inal. Many, of course, are the same as the English proverbs or simply change the simile. They are used with all possible variety of application. A gentleman who was seated near a group of young ladies at railway sta tion, busy with their farewell kisses, stood it as long as he could and then protested: Don't count your money in the presence of the poor" Follow ing are some of the proverbs not uncom- monly heard in Mexico:
 He who never ventures will never cross the sea-" There's no gain without pain" Flies cannot enter a closed mouth" :" Behind the cross is the devil" "A cat in gloves will never catch rats"
 'To the hungry no bread is dry" "A book that is shut makes no schol- ar.'
 ''The good laundress washes the shirt first"
 No evil will endure hundred years"
 "When the river is passed the saint is forgotten"
 "He who has little has little to fear"
 Eff the pill were not bitter it would not be gilt
 Do not trust your money to those who keep their eyes on the floor (make an outward sign of piety)."
 Wind and good luck do not last"
 Don't take pawn that must be fed"
 Tt is good fishing in troubled wa- ters.'
 "A frugal, rich father and a spend- thrift son.
 NO word is ill-spoken if it is not i'll understood"

The Phfiippines Are CostIxs

The war in the Philippines has cost heavy loss in killed and wounded. say- ing nothing of sickness. There have been dispatched to the islands from first to last over 10000 troops. men and officers, and so far not over 1000 of these have returned to this country. The cost of the military occupation is estimated at S3,0Oo,0Oo a month. and in year will nearly equal the entire in- terest charge of the United States debt The net result is that we control just the small amount of territory on which our troops stand, and yesterday a se- we're engagement by our military and naval forces was brought on by an in- surgent threatened attack in strong force on Manila" The facts are un- pleasant, but it is wiser to face them boldly and shape future action accord tngly than to be lulled into false se- curity by optimistic and edited. official dispatches.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

THE MAN IN THE HOLE.

IA gentleman who lives fin Iowa has for warded to us a stirring little poem which he says is founded on fact, and which, moreover. according to his notion. shows that people are too ready to jump at con- clusions. He has furnished complete diagram of the meaning which the verses are intended to convey, but It's publication is. we think, unnecessary. At all events we shall content ourselves with the presen- tation of the poem, believing that the reader will be able to arrive at proper understanding of 1t without any help Chicago Times-Herald,1 There was a man in our town
 Who rushed along the street. When suddenly he felt the werld
 Recede beneath his feet. A teamster had delivered coal
 And then pursued his way He left the manhole open, so
 There was the deuce to pay. The man who hurried never saw
 The yawning hole ahead: He made some bitter comments as
 He disappeared, 'tis said. Now comes the moral of the tale:
 A cyclone from the west Came down the street, as cyclones do, And never stopped to rest. The coal man and his team were first Tied into forty knots. And then distributed in chunks
 Der fifty vacant lots. The street was ripped from end to end And split up through the middle Not one who walked in it was left
 To dance or play the fiddle. But he who hadn't seen the hole.
 And so had fallen through. Came out. when all was over. just
 About as good as new. Keep back the things that thou wouldst
 say
 When Fate seems harsh with thee; It may turn out the other way,
 So wait awhile and see.

HANNA AND HARMONY.
q Republican Organ Grfnds oot - Wall of Woe over the ohie
 situation.

The republican press is generally agreed that Hanna and Harmony were copartners in the management of the Ohio republican convention.
 If this be true, the junior partner in the firm has clear case for damages
 against the Chicago Times-Herald, a
 McKinley-Hanna organ of the inner circle, which overlooks Harmony's in- terests altogether, and proceeds to rub
 salt into the open wounds of Senator Foraker.
 According to the TimesHerald there is no republican harmony in Ohio. It goes further, and declares that there
 will be no real harmony in Ohio politics, no national confidence in the utterances
 of its republican conventions, so long as Judas Benedict Foraker retains his place in republican councils there. He has been paid off. Let him be retired for good"
 The Chicago Mckinley organ further more declares that nothing but make-
 believe harmony, flor the sake of self preservation. has compelled Joseph B.. Foraker to sheathe his political dagger in his own coat-tail, swallow his envy and malice, and stand upon an Ohio platform renewing pledges of loyalty to the party he has so often sought to betray." According to the Times Herald, ''it would require page to re- hearse the fragrant breaches of party loyalty and personal good faith" of which Foraker has been guilty; Fora ker's conduct in the Ohio convention "has once more proved that the leopard cannot change his spots"-that "con- spiracy and treachery are so ingrained in the man that nothing can eradicate them from his acts" Finally, he is told that ''when whipped into line, he licks the lash, but as he does so, plots new treachery."
 Harmony & Go. have already selected Gen. Grosvenor, the foremost adminis- tration cuckoo, to be Foraker's suc- cessor in the United States senate in 1903; a rumor which would seem to be well authenticated by the aboye-quoted comments of "the original Mckinley organ of the west"
 Doubtless Senator Foraker will lie awake nights. consulting with Bush- nell, Kurtz and McKisson as to ways and means to elect Nash governor, and thereby strengthen the hold of Hanna, Harmony & Co. upon the Ohio repub- lican machinery.-Albany Argus.

HANNA'S TALK OF SPIES.
The Republican Boss Makes Defense of the Adm I'm Is tratiOn Which
 ArOuses Suspicion.

"We commend the president for the judicious notifications of the civil service rules recently promulgated" says Mark Hanna in his Ohio platform.
 In an interview for publication MT. Hanna stands by the platform and the order. He attempts to justify the latter by saying that when President Cleve- land was about to go out he issued an order which had the effect of giving per manent jobs to a lot of democrats in positions where they could act as "spies" upon the republican admins tration. He says that the present re- publican administration is responsible to the people for its conduct of public affairs, and it cannot justly be held re- sponsible if it is surrounded by ''dem- ocratic spies." Therefore, the pres ident is to be commended for his "iu- dicious' order
 Of course Mir. Hanna does not expect any intelligent man to accept this state ment as sufficient justification for turning over 10000 places in the public service to spoilsmen. An administra- ton has no business to have any secrets in any branches of the service affected by this order. If there is any use for the services of spies then it is because something is wrong which ought to be exposed. If anything is wrong the presence of men in the service who will expose it is for the public good.
 MT. Hanna's talk about spies im- plies that things are done which ought not to be done. It implies that there are things which the party bosses wish to keep secret when there should be no secrets and everything should be open to the public. It implies purpose on the part of the republican bosses to convert the public service into a party machine-to pervert and degrade it to the accomplishment of merely party ends.
 Any spying which will tend to pre- vent such degradation of the public service IS very desirable thing. But MT. Hanna and his fellow bosses are not worried about spies. We hear nothing about spies in the British civil service, where the merit system is more extended and more vigorously applied than 1t ever has been here. The simple truth is that the spoilsmen want the spoils, and their talk about spies is the best excuse they can think of for seiz- ing what they want.-Chicago Chron- icle

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS

"Mckinley is about as good man for the democrats to defeat as tue re- publlcans can put up.-St. Louis Re- public.
 If the president can mention the name of republican who will have to walk the plank under his civil service order the country would like to have him do it.-Kansas City Times.
 The intention of the republican members of the finance committee to hold their conference in New York be- hlnd closed doors is only another sug- gestion of how little there will be for the public in the entire currency re- form programme of the administration, Detroit Free Press.
 The Kansas City Journal is bor- rowing trouble If anything bad hap pens to this country while Mark Hanna is in Europe" Doubtless, however, Mark has left full instruction covering all contingencies likely to arise. Be- sides, God reigns, and the republican party still ves."-Albany Argus.
 It is questionable which are loud- CT, the reJoicings of republican spoils- men over the destruction of the civil service system or the protestations of republican hypocrites that the system has really been strengthened by break Ing It to pieces. You cannot find re- publican hustler" who is not immense iy pleased with the order, but they do not make much more showing than men like Secretary Gage who continue to assert that there has been mo let- ting down of the ars."-Indianapolis Sentinel.
 The president himself must by shls tune see that an imperial policy ia horrible mistake. He must realize that war for the subjugation of an un- willing people. to drag into the United states population unfitted for any of the duties of citizenship under a highly organized government, has no logies, justification. The president knows. for ne so declared in his Boston speech. that imperial conquest is "contrary to the spirit of American institutions. knowing that, why does he not rescue 'he American army from the periis of hostile climate by ordering a cessa- non or the slaughter of a people who hsK Tor nothing more than an oppor- tanlty to administer their own affaifsy Pittsburgh Dispatch

From a passenger who wished te
take the Arkansas Il Chootaw
train to Rocky Comfort on Friday
morning and who has occasion to
go ont on this road quite often, we
learn that he went to the Trige
street depot to take the train and
found the doors locked tight and
fast. After standing in the cold
and fog for three hours, the train
pulled up one hour late out of the
city. The Texas state law is very
strict as to railroads who accept
passenger fares, that they must
maintain a dep t, keep it clean,
warmed up ard other cohveniences
for the comfort Of the passengers
who patronize the road. This gen
tleman says he finds the above con-
ditions at this depot all the time.
We now ask the road or its agent
here to see that this. depot is
opened for the passengers who 60
out on the Arkansas & Choctaw
road. The first thing we expect to
hear of, if they don't, some one ask
ing damages, alleging exposure as
the cause.
