For the benefit Of a large number of
our interior exchanges we wish to state
that there is no bill before the Legis-
for the Governor nor to stock its cellars
with wines at State cost, nor to furnish
it after the manner of European pal
aces, with plate and costly outfittings
in all detail, nor to retain in it at State
cost an army of servants, nor to do any
one of the dozen absurd things a num-
Der of our country exchanges seem to
believe are proposed in relation to a
Gubernatorial mansion If they will
inform themselves, they will discover
that what is proposed is just what has
long been done in many States, namely,
erect a decent, commOdious house for
the use of whoever is elected Governor.
To decently furnish it in part, but not
to outfit it in all the details of house
keeping; to provide for its heating and
lighting. and to set such watch over
it that it may be properly cared for
as a matter of economy to the State.
Of the several bills before the Legis-
lature on the subject. The probability
is that what the Legislature will do
will be to order built a respectfully
sized, certainly modern, and fairly orr
namental Gubernatorial residence, and
that 1t will do just what it ought to
do in the matter of furnishing it, name
ly, not require each man chosen to re-
side in it four years to expend two
thirds of his salary to furnish it. On
the contrary, the State will probably
do as it should do, place in it the nee
essary carpeting and furniture, cur
tains, heating and lighting apparatus,
leaving it wholly to the occupant to
stock his linen closets, outfit his bed
chambers and china closets, to supply
his own table service, and stock the
cellars or not, precisely as he pleases.
Thus poor man will be able to accept
the Office and live in part or all of the
house as he likes, while the rich man
chosen will find room for liberal ex-
penditure of his means in entertain
ing.

The City Trustees are again propos-
ing to interfere with the management
of the police force so as to practically
deprive the Chief of Police Of that au-
thority and power by which alone he
can maintain discipline and make the
force subserve the purposes for which
it is maintained. Thus, it is stated
that complaints are made that the
Chief does not give all the officers
chance to play at detective work. OF
course not. It would be folly to at
tempt it. Detectives are made service
able through long experience and close
study of the criminal classes. When
city secures a detective force, if it IS
wise it never changes it as long as 1t
is efficient and courageous. The shift
ing of officers about so as to have all the
force practice as detectives. will be to
destroy whatever there is desirable in
having detectives at all. In San Fran
cisco there are detectives who. begin
ming as young men have grown gray
in the service, and with age have be-
come more and more useful to the city.
So it is in every well ordered force.
The right thing to do is to leave the
police force wholly under the direction
of the Chief Of Police, and to hold him
to a strict accountability. Whenever
legislative and administrative bodies
NEEDLE with the internal concerns Of a
police force, i'll results. It always has
been so, inevitably it always will be.
Men Of the force must be taught that
they are to look to their chief alone;
that they cannot go to legislative au-
thority and attempt to work their am
billions over the head of the Chief. Po-
lice forces are of a seni-military char
acter, and much the same order of
management must prevail in them. If
that rule is violated the force becomes
insubordinate and ineffective.

No Rocking Lullaby.

Strange as it may seem, timc-hon-
orcd custom Of rocking babies to sleep
is bad one. 1t is injurious to the
children themselves, and is a cause,
eventually, Of much unnecessary trou-
bic TO their guardians. Mothers
should therefore sec to it that from
the very first the little ones are
brought up in the way they should 60,
and that the monthly nurse does not
get them into bad habits by rocking
them to sleep either in her arms or in
their cots. There is no doubt that
rocking is the most expeditions way
of inducing baby to go to sleep, but
if one once starts, baby will not
sleep without it, and at later age is
likely to suffer from insomnia. Rock
ing may save immediate trouble to a
lazy nurse or mother by inducing sleep
when child does not require it, or
when it ought to be taken up from it's
cot and have clean clothes put on, but
it will never cause that sweet, gentle
and perfect sleep which should be
characteristic Of baby who has no
artificial aids to induce slumber.

Mutually Agreeable.

On one Of the recent warm days, a
sourvifaged, middle aged fussy woman
got on one of the smoking seats on an
open car in the subway, says the
Boston Transcript. Next to her sat a
man who was smoking cigar. More
than that the woman shifting, made
out that the man had been eating
onions. Still more than that, she
had the strongest kind Of suspicion
that he had been drinking beer. The
woman fused and wrigglcd and grew
angrier, and looked at the man soorn-
fully. Presently she could endure it
no longer. She looked squarely at
him and said:
"lf you were my husband, sir, 1 d
give you dose of pcison!'
The man looked at her. "If Iwere
your husband" said he. "I'dtake it!"

Jack Rabbit Was in His Way.

y Chicago man who has just return
ed from westarn trip, tells the Chica-
60 News the new "Jack rabbit" story:
AS everybody knows, jack rabbit
is lightning runner, or, as Mark
Twain once said, "gocs so fast that all
yon see is crack in the air.
1t seems that certain fat man, we'll
known iii Idaho, was out bear hunting
with party who had been joking him
rs to what he would do if bear took
after him, and he always claimed that
he would not run away. On this day
he was poking along in advance of II
wildlooking trail, when he sunddcn Y
ran into real bear The hunters in
the rear heard s|oiit and yell, and
in u moment the fat man came dashine
down the trail minus his gun, with Il
jack rabbit making long leaps in front
of him.
He was so scared, the other hunters
say, that he seemed to be afraid the
'jack would hinder him in his niyb,
for he was shouting:
Get out of the way, jack rabbit,
and let e man run that has to!'

Fool Fox

remember the fable Of the fox that
hungered for some wonderfully fine
grapes growing in the garden. the only
entrance to which was through a

he had to fast three days before he
could crawl through it. After he
had got inside and filled himself lie
was TOO large to crawl back through
the hole, aud he was compelled to fast
another three days before he could
make his escape from the garden. So
you see he went out as poor as he
went in.

The following excellent item, as
too often happens with goodproduc
tions that are applicable to human
nature anywhere, Is found floating
in newspapers with only the credit of
Exchange" attached to it. In
passing it might be well to mention
that it is a reprehensible habit of
some weekly newspapers to clip good
items and credit them to Eek"
The best dailies always give credi t
to any item deemed worthy OF repro
duction. But here is the item OF un-
known parentage:
"Have you a boy? Does he get up
early, milk cows, feed the team, cat
tie and pigs? Does he take the team
and pillow, or drag, or rake, or NOV
all day? What are you doing for
him? DO you give him anything ex-
cept his board and clothes and IL lit
tie schooling in winter? What in
ducelnenJ 90 you give nlln 10 SUay
with you and help on the farm 4?
Suppose instead OF enforcing your
legal claim on his services until he is
Of age, and thus disgusting him with
farm life and paying the way toward
IN unloved, neglected old age for
yourself, you do the fair thing by
this boy? Give him something for
his own, let him be earning and say
ing little money. Don't deny him
the opportunity OF an education il
he desires one, for an ignorant man
is going to be placed ut o fearful
disadvantage in the coming years.
Give him the best team and the best
tools to work with and encourage
him by kind appreciation. The
reason so many boys leave the farm
disguised is because they are treated
like little slaves. by avaricious par
ents; you can treat boy like a
horse or an OK, but the horse or OK
will not run off, and the boys can,
and we don't blame them.
