THERE have been many comments
by the press since the recent civil ser.
vice order Of the president and consid-
cradle criticism comes from the, Re-
publican newspapers. This from the
Pittsbury, Pa, Dispatch is fair sam
pie: Tits a reversion in the direction
Of the spoils system. It. constitutes an
encouragement to the spoilsmen in
congress to believe that if they can
pass a repeal of the civil service laws
the president would not interpose his
veto. The explanation offered, namely,
that the order was issued to meet9the
.exigencies of the moment in Ohio pol
titics, is the worst feature about it.
The: distribution of patronage for
purely political and partisan purposes
is no new thing in this country, but it
is an astounding development to have
the president use his power to create
spoils for such purposes"

SOMEHOW we cannot bring ourselves
to take much stock in the Philippine
peace commission, or the dove-like af-
fair at the Hague. As long as there is
anything to fight about people are go
ing to fight, and they are not going to
be deferred by any resolutions that
may beresoluted by any gathering Of
ladylike gentlemen who make a
speciality of settling things for some
body else. The way to secure peace in
the Philippines is by an armed force
that will quell rebellion and crush in
surrection. The way to secure perma-
nent international peace, on our part,
is to build and maintain navy that
will command the awed respect Of
other nations. .t-*.t&"-

The charge has often been made by
Democrats and Populists that the de-
partment Of State grain inspection was
a sort of political bureau. No one but
a Democrat could ever, ascertain that
such was fact until within the past
few months, but it can no longer be
denied that such is the case. Political
inspection of grain or anything else is
worse than no inspection, and the next
State campaign will knock the politics
out of the inspection bureau that is
beingabuilt up as a part of the Demo
cratic machine. Nv ~

Y ONE or two Of the twin city papers
still insist that Senator Nelson should
correct his social habits and become a
"sassiety'' man, to the extent of at
tending the social functions gotten up
by the city people. Senator Nelson is
not statesman of the spike-tailed-coat
variety, but is one of the working
kind; if the cities must have a society
man they will have to go somewhere
else to get him. Meanwhile the State
at large will continue more than ever

it had been made especially for an
agent who was sent to take pictures OF

reason to doubt, the spy would saunter

down the box and show him that the

VENTnATING THE HOUSE
Fresh Air and Sunshine Are Far More
Essential Than Cool
ness.

What has been said, in a general way,
OF the bedroom may also be said Of the
hOuse-that is, as regards sunlight.
Admit It at least a part Of the day In as
many Of the rooms as is possible, espe-
cially in the sitting-rOOm, dining-Toom
and kitchen. Every room should be
aired daily and given the benefit Of the
sunlight, If not Of the sunshine direct
". Should you close the house OF q
part Of it during the day do not do It
SO completely as to shut ont the moving
air, but invite it In through the open
windows at the bottom, and after its
mission Of publication is accomplished
give IL free egress through the windows
opened at the top. The dust may find
its way In also, but better some dust
and some air, than no dust and no air.
Bear in mind that cool room in
summer is not desirable nor heaIthfuI
If the cOolness has been purchased at
the expense Of fresh air and sunshine.
Do not fail to have every window Of
every hving-rOom lowered from the top,
If only few inches. The difference in
the temperature Of the rooms viii soon
be appreciable by needing this advice;
more especially 50 when the lights are
turned on
Electric light makes but little heat;
lamp light quite little; gas light very
much. The difference IS in favor Of the
electric light In consequence Of its not
being fed by the oxygen Of the room.
The electric light uses no oxygen for its
support; lamp light and gas light do,
each ordinary gas Jet consuming, when
burning fuH, as much oxygen as would
be used ordinarily by 16 Elersous.-La-

they had been successful and came
into their little bivOuac one night very

among them some excellent animals.

those wolves might be Indians, but
when I noticed one Of them turn short
around and heard the clashing OF his
teeth as he rushed at one Of the dogs,
I felt easy then and was certain that
they were wolves sure enough. But the
red devil fooled me after all, for he had
two dried buffalo bones in his hands In

ran as soon as they fired at Us. They
killed one Of my men, putting five bull
lets in his body and eight in his buffalo
robe. The Indians were a band of
Sioux on the war trail after a band Of
Snakes, and found US by sheer accident.
They endeavored to ambush US the next
morning, but we got wind of their little
