A Frenchman. NJ de Molinari, pluming

over the superiority of French political
methods to those of the United States in
such troublous times Compare, he says,
the American way of electing a President
with the French. In the United States
the country is kept in state of crisis for
several months; trade and industry are
left in quvering uncertainty; the people
are torn with political agitation, and cleo
ton expenses amount to millions of dol
lars. But in France. NJ. Faure dies on
Feb. 16 and by the 18th his successor Is

the United States" This is not, of course.

platform of opposition to trusts; Gov.
Hazen S. Pingree in a public address stat

ton of dividing the people broadly into
masters and slaves; and Mr. Bryan in his
Milwaukee speech placed the trust ques-
ton side by side with that of imperial
ism but somewhat below his controlling
issue of 16 to l. Here are three separate
and, in some respects. antagonistic polit-
cal opponents, all recognizing that the
question of the absorption of the means
OF production and the opportunities of
wealth In the hands of a privileged cor

be the controlling issue. Il is a sign of

TT MEANS MORE oFFIcEs.

A strong effort is being made in the
New York Legislature TO push through
that body bill permitting the city of
New York to own its own gas plant and
to supply the city with gas 1t is urged
that the city can supply the people with
gas at about half what they now pay. 1t
is not improbable that gas can be sold
profitably at a much lower price than that
at which it is now being furnished to
consumers, but would the city sell it for
much less than private corporations sell
it if given the opportunity to 10 so? That
is a question which the legislature ought
10 be able to answer before increasing
the patronage of a municipal corporation.
Every additional place that is created in
municipal government makes il harder
for the people to get rid of a corrupt
administration.
1t has not been so very long since the
city of Philadelphia sold It's gas plant 1t
found that the plant could not be operated
probably. The reason was that all of the
places were filled with the friends of poll
ticians.-men who knew nothing about the
business and who didn't care to learn il,
because they knew they might lose their
places at any time, and that. too without
cause.
But New York thinks she can do what
Philadelphia failed to do. 1t is safe to
assert that those who are behind the New
York city gas bill have some other object
in view than the welfare of the public.
What they want is more political power
that is, more patronage. SO that they can
resist efforts that may be made to Dust
them from the offices. 1t may be that if
the bill becomes a law the people will
get cheaper gas for WHILE but they win
be taxed heavier to make up for cheaper
gas. The men who are behind the bill
have never been known to do anything
for the purpose of benehtting the public.
The people, therefore, will make no mis-
take if they regard the municipal gas bill
as measure that should be very care
fully investigated before being passed.

LOTS OF WAR WIDOWS.
PENSION Report shows Remarkable
Facts I'm Regard 10 Lon

One of the curiosities OF the United

Ing survival of war widows The re-
port of the United States commissioner
OF pensions, just issued, shows some re-
markable and interesting facts I'm re-

soldiers For instance, while there Is

but OF their widows there are still sur

Orleans Picayune.
The war Of the revolution closed in
1853, and period Of ll5 years has
elapsed, and, while there are no male
survivors, there are still some Of their
widows alive. This state Of affairs can
only be possible on the ground that
some OF the soldiers, after they had at
tanned old age, married young wives.

SOCIETY IN sITKA.
Strange as 4; May Seem. Dress su.tA
Are Important Requisites at
Social Functions.

That dress suits should be considered
important requisites in Sitka Is some
what startling anomaly, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. The fuct remains.
however that the most rigid social rules
prevail Whether il be a ball, tea
fight or muffin struggle, evening dress
is imperative. Dinner parties Of ten
and twelve courses are frequently on
the tapis, and, since none Of the officials
come prepared 10 entertain on n lavish
scale, every prospective hostess bor-
rows from her neighbors. All the day
long preceding an important function
a more or less intermittent procession
of men, women and children and hand
carts may be seen carrying lamps and
furniture, punchbowls, crockery, glass
and silvcrware and other paraphernalia

Everybody lives in small. cramped
quarters, and when an entertainment
OF unusual scope is desirable vacant

surprises of the refreshment table.
The courtroom is over the JAIL and
the rhythmic tread of the dancers ana

enjoyed by the prisoners. In fact, they
look forward 20 these festive occasions
with quite as much pleasurablc antici
