A Strange exhibition of Folly.

One OF the most peculiar halIucina-
tIOnS IN the world Is that Of railway Of
hcials who imagine they can hide from
the world disaster in which passen-
gers are killed and wounded and prop-
erty destroyed. Certain railway Off
Gals, on such occasions, possess about
the same degree of reason as ostriches.
They affect to be stricken with idiocy
or TO be deaf and dumb and deny
everything, even their identity, and
disclaim that any such railway exists
as the one on which the accident has
happened.
The Rock Island officials we're thus
affected with regard to the wrecked
train at VOlland. They seemed to
think that they possessed a degree of
cunning and craft by which they could
cover up the accident, and no one
would be the wiser. There is a serious
question involved IN this matter. How
can men, who think they can conceal q
Dig railway disaster in which many
persons are injured and q whole train
burned mp conduct a railway at other
tImes2 Are not terrible risks being
taken IN entTUsting ones life to this
order Of human intelligence
The Rock Island officials actualIy
succeeded in keeping the wreck q sec
ret fOz several hours. They put on
false WhlSkerS and disguised them
selves and went to the scene BY circui-
tOus routes. No doubt bad they been
able 70 do so, they would have tried tC
ChlOrOfOrm the surviving passengers
and hide them in caves? What do they
do it for? The only thing they ever
accomplish By this sort Of behavior is
TO make asses Of hemselves.-Kansas

One lesson tatstO heart this year.
Be good 70 those with whom you 1--we,
lis better not to quarrel dear,
Than 'tis 20 kiss and say forgive"
Put self behind-turn tender eyes.
Keep back the words that wound and sting
We learn when sOrrOw makes rs wise
Forbearance Is the grsndest thing
Be patient, lest some day you turn
Your eyes on loved one fast asleep
And whisper, as you lean and yearnr
How often have made you weep
some loved you not, and words let fan
Which must have pierced your gentle breast
But I, who loved you best OF all
Did hurt you more than al the rest

The Chicago Times Herald, the sd-
ministratiOn's personal organ in the
west, says editOrially: "When the St
p aul Pioneer Press declares that it Is
the duty of the republican party to re-
peal every protective duty, under shell
ter Of which its benefiCiaries have or
ganiZed a trust or combination of any
sort TO advance prices, it meets the
views Of the Times Herald to a dot
The purpose Of the protective tariff
was to foster industries, not to protect
mOnOPOlies- No mercy or cOnsidera-
ton should be shown to any cOmbina-
ton of capital that takes advantage of
a protective tariff to mulct American
consumers. When a protective tariff
enhances the price Of the product Of a
trust to the American consumer it
should be reduced or removed entirely
It's adoption will remove the stigma Of
fostering trusts from the republican
party"

Gov. Roosevelt of New York display
ed his mdOmItable courage to a marked
degree IN refusing TO commute the
death sentence Of the late Mrs. Place.
It Is doubtful whether the governor Of
any state ever had a more delicate sit
uatIOn to face Great pressure Wa
brought to bear to enlist his clemenry,
but as the law makes no discrimiua-
ton between murderers as to sex, Gov.
Roosevelt certainly acted properly in
the matter. No more cold blOOded
murder was ever committed by any
male murderer and Mrs. Place deser-
we'd no more clemency or sympathy
than any man would have received IN
der the same circumstances. When a
woman stOOps 10 such low degree she
Is no longer entitled to the consider
alton that naturally belongs to her sex.

Chairman Joyce voiced the proper
sentiment at the caucus Tuesday night
in a short talk, when be said the side
walks were a disgrace to any city and
are a menace to life and limb. They
are certainly in a deplOrable condition
and property owners should be made
to put them In proper shape along
their premises, and the city should
repair the crossings The proposition
for the city to buy the opera house IS
to be submitted to a vote at the sp-
preaching election. The plan may be
a good one, but it is apparent that the
money would be put to a much better
use in repairing the walks and street
crossings.

Kansas seems to be getting more
than her share of nOtOTiety lately by
degenerates springing up and doing
away with their entire families. Two
cases of this kind have Mortified the
state within the past two weeks, John
r. Gilbert of EmpOria, killing his wife
and four children, and now comes John
a Moore of Hutchinson, who slew his
five children and then set fire to his
home to try and destroy the evidences
of his fiendish crime. The absurd law
which annuIs the death penalty in this
state certainly does not discourage
such heinOus crimes, and should be
OYerstepped, at least in extreme cases
