orators, statesmen and jurists, for years
have taken ghoulish pride in the enact

against everything bearing the corpor-

business enterprises to various forms of
legalized persecution until the state is
known from Canada to the gulf, from
New York to San Francisco, as place
inimical to energy and enterprise and
an Improbable field for the employment
of capital. Governor Sayers is con-
vinced of the past folly of Texas and
announces that the state will in the
future be good and that capital may
come in and be protected. He invites
men Of money everywhere to 60 to Tex

peerless to change his mind about
going to Texas. He would be more con-
tent with q domicile in some quiet,
secluded spot where the operations of
his automatic facial and vocal machinery
would not be disturbed by the uncon-
genial whir of substantial, wage paying
industries.

Dietrich appoints
as good men for all offices as Frederic
Teal, of Omaha, his superintendent of
the hospital for the insane at Norfolk,
the people will have slight cause for
complaint. In this appointment due
consideration was given to merit and

place by the medical men of Omaha.

HOW?

uo- There are many
men very sensitive
upon the subject of reorganization of
the democratic party of the United
States. Mr.. j. K. Jones of Arkansas,
who may be remembered as revelator,
organizer and seer in recent campaign,
is nervously irritable at the mere sug-
gestion of national democracy without
Jones for commander, assisted by Tomb
Stone of Missouri, Altgeld, Tillman, and
other statesmen of the same brand.
The CONSERVATIVE is not anxious for
any sort of a democratic party which
must be dominated by economic fallacies
and political heresies. And reorganiza-
tion as talked by sensible men means,
for democracy, the getting rid of dis
organization. Dis. organization came of
discrediting the doctrines of democracy,
and adopting and advocating those of
populism. However, with Jones & Go.
in control the remuneration of the free
coinage of silver at 16 to l. the recanta-
tion of the assaults upon the judiciary,
and the rejection of the initiative and
referendum which are menace to
representative form of government,
hardly seem possible.
The CONSERVATIVE heard of cooper
who mended old tubs, kegs, and barrels
no matter how bad
ly dilapidated His
patience was proverbial. He reorgan-
lied those receptacles for fluids cheer
fully even when only few hoops and
half dozen slaves were brought to
him. But at last he got mad and
profaned. He was asked to reorganize
barrel with only an old bung hole for
foundation. He damned the proposed
attempt and constructed new barrel.

haps, for 1904.

READY FOR ENROLMENT.
Principal Stimets is Now at Has
bronok Institute.

The office of Hasbrouck Institute is
open again and it presents an animated
appearance. Principal Stimets arrived
yesterday and with Mr. Frye was en-
rolling pupils for the coming year. Sew
eral of the graduates called to say good
bye before leaving for college and busi-
ness.
The Institute does not open until the
18th instant, but it is the practice of the
Institute to open the office about two
weeks in advance for the purpose of
consultation with any parents or guardi-
ans who may be contemplating sending
their sons or daughters to the school.
Individual characteristics and require
ments are always carefully considered 80
as to be made the basis of the attention
that should be given in the class room.
Whether in the kindergarten or primary
departments or in the more advanced
work the Institute has always made a
special inducement to parents by provid-
ing for attention to every scholar accord
ing to the amount required for his most
substantial progress. The Institute has
such a large number of teachers, with
classes so limited in size, that this all
important matter can be always accom-
plished. The average number of pupils to
one teacher at the Institute is said to
be only twenty.

WOMEN IN CnOIRS.
Catholic Church Decree
Against Female Singers
Will Not Apply to
This Country.

The decree recently issued by the Sacred
Congregation of Rites in Rome, relative 10
the expulsion of women from Catholic
Church choirs and the discontinuance of
the practice of allowing women TO take
part in the music for divine service, is
not taken seriously in this country. 1t is
limited that the decree was directed
against the churches in France, where
opera singers are frequently engaged to
sing at services. There were those who
were of the opinion that the wording of
the decree made it apply to the Catholic
Church in general.
Father Connolly, secretary to Archbish-
op Corigan of New York, remarked yes
terday that no notice to that effect had
been received here.
Conditions are different in the United
States from those in older countries, and
it would be impracticable in many cases
to dispense with the services of women
singers said Father Connolly.
In countries where the church has been
established for centuries the choral por-
ton of the services has been provided
for as it has not been here. The custom
Of having women in the choirs is general
throughout the United States.

Augustine's Church in Brooklyn, who has

nothing about it while I was in Rome,

crop up from time to time only to be dis
credited in the end"

LOUIS KEEPS HIS THREAT
Resigns the Presidency of the
Ninth Ward Republicans
So He Can Vote as
He Pleases.

The unexpected happened last evening
at meeting of the Ward Association of
the Ninth ward, when Chairman Louis
Stubenvoll carried out his long standing
threat of resigning. The secretary read off
the letter of resignation and Mr. Stuben-
vol arose to comment on his action.
He signified his intention of supporting
the Republican candidates for the head of
the ticket, but wanted to be allowed to do
about as he pleased on local matters.
William Harrison presided thereafter. A
row was averted by a clever piece of work
on the part of Frank Higgins. The anti
ring representatives started right in to
elect Charles Mason to succeed Stuben-
vol. This action did not please Mr.. Hig-
gins, for his faction were in the minority,
having but six votes to eight of the anti
ring faction. Mr.. Higgins stated that no
election could be held until notices had
been sent out to the members informing
them of an election. In this manner he
prevented the antis from choosing Mason
to preside over the ward body.
The association is evenly split, their be-
ing twelve on each side When the cleo
ton is held in October, hot time is
promised. Each side will get out it's force
and it remains to be seen which is the
stronger of the two.
Preparations were made for a precinct
enrolment to be held on September 10.
Each precinct is to select its own enroll
ment officers. This was the only business
transacted.
There were several rumors afloat that
Stubenvoll was to turn Democrat. His
announcement, however, dispels all doubt
as to where he stands on the national
ticket. But when it comes to local affairs
Louis wishes to go about in quiet way
and vote as he pleases.

CALLED PATROL FOR LIVE WIRE

While walking along the Boulevard last
night Fred Woeckener discovered a live
wire hanging from pole on the corner
Of Linden avenue. Mr.. Woeckener went
to patrolmans box to notify the police
and instead of telephoning to the station
pulled the key which calls for the patrol
wagon to come in a hurry.
When the wagon came from the Fifth
precinct Mr.. Woeckener explained and
the matter was reported to the county
authorities at Snake Hill, where the pow
er house is located. The break caused
the lights on that circuit to go out and
that section of the Boulevard was in
darkness for the rest of the night.
