English campaigns are generally bitter
and personal attacks on orators or candi-
dates are by no means rare. But the
present campaign exceeds in these re-
speo1s any that has taken place there for
great many years. The opposition on
the part Of many of the Liberal candi-
uaVes 20 the South African war is being
taken advantage of by their opponents to
s1lgmatlze them as traitors and intiame
the populace against them. EThe Liberals
are Tetorting by accusing Chamberlain
OF oonnlYing at the Jameson raid and Of
personal dishonesty. Personal encounters
are numerous, and the excited audiences
90 not content themselves with simply
hoWllng down an obnoxious speaker, but
drag him from the platform by main
force. Perhaps Americans have some
thing to learn In the conduct of political
campaigns, but it is evident to anyone
who Keeps posted upon the progress of the
present British campaign that they can
learn little in this line from Englishmen
but what is bad.

viii, OF course, be impossible to cOun-
teract, but the latter can probably be re-
moved. Gen. FremOnt's report Of the at
fractions OF the great basin Of Utah and
its Vicinity led Brigham Young, who
became head of the Mormon church on
the death Of Joseph Smith, to move there
with all his Mormon followers in 1874
The Great Salt lake was first discovered
by an American as late as 1924, nearly 20
years before Gen. Fremont's description

There are hundreds Of horses and thous-
ands Of cattle in the II aWaiian islands
which never take drink of water
throughout the whole course of their
lives. On all the islands the upper aIti-
tudes Of the mountains are given up to
cattle ranges. The cattle run wild from
the time they are born until they are
sent to the slaughter house. Except pos
slbly Two or three months in the rainy
season there are no streams or pools Of
water in any part where the cattle range.
but everywhere there grows a recum bent

Of MAMMA. This is both food and drink.

Bishop Potter, in recent charge TO
the New York Diocesan convention, used
these words:
Men and brethren, II we go to perdi-
ton, whether as OmmunitY or as q
nation 1t viii be because you and I, and
Others like Us, are too fine, or too lazy or
too selT-se5king to care to make the pro-
test and do the work, and be the men
and women that will prevent it! ] am
not so despairing Of my kind as to be-
l1eTe that the few hundreds OF thousands
or millions Of people who make, for eX-
ample, the voters Of this metropolis or
this republic the majority, are not IN
favor not only Of good laws but Of a
righteous, clean and honest administra-
tion Of them. But If, Of those majori-
ties, the greater number are too en-
crossed with private interests, too i'm
patient Of distastefuI tasks, Jo0 sensitive
Of obl3quy, or personal antagonismss too
mOney-loYing or self -1ndulgent to concern
themselves with guarding what our faith
ers won for them-We shall lose it-and
shall deserve to-
Bishop Potter words furnish the clue
to a great part of the evils we complain
OF IN our national, state and especially
our municipal governments If our cities
are badly governed, if incompetent men
get into Office and stay there, if the gov
ernment is administered for the benefit
of private interests instead Of for the
general public good 1t is simply because
the people who are in favor OF righteous,
clean and honest administration lack the
courage, or the energy or the patriotism
to give the attention they ought to give
to public AFFAIRS There is no city in thu
country but contains a majority OF voters
who are in favor Of good government,
but there are very few where this major
ity Will persistently put themselves to
the trouble and Yexation which are in
dispensable for getting 1t. All cities
have their spasms, when the virtuous
and good strike out right and left, often
times only destroying one evil, to create
another, but there are very few indeed,
we suspect, where the great mass of the
virtuous and good keep close watch of
what is going on in the government,
with view of discovering and condemn
ing what is bad and commending what
is good. The source of the greatest
number of the sins Of omission or oom-
mission on the part of our governments
is weakness and not wickedness. They
are constantly subjected to pressure from
people having private ends to achieve, and
frequently they sucoumb. What is need
ed is something to counteract this pres
sure. The people can furnish it If they
will. If they will not they might as
well make up their minds that their IN
terests will frequently be subordinated to
those Of individuals and corporations.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR,

Stevens, the young English war cor
respondent who died of enteric fever
during the siege OF Ladysymitn, told this
story in his book on India: A native
had been condemned to death, and was
being hung, when the rope broke. The
warden bade the man, who was a Pathan,
ascend the scafOld again, but the man
objected. mo" " he said: 81 was SEN
fenced to be hanged, and hanged I've
been. . mot so. friend, argued the
WaTder. You were sentenced to be
hanged until you were dead, and you re
q ct dead" 1t was new view to the
Pathan, and he turned to the superin-
tndent. SIS that right sahibY' ''Yes,
that's right. - VERY well, didn't IN
derstand." And he went compossdly up
the steps and was hanged again.

in Utah is slowly vanishing. If meas

its bed viii be dry land in a few decades.

SOUTHERN CITIES.
Some Remarks on Their Growth and
Prospects.
(LOuisville COurier-Journal.) }

louisville Courier-J Journal.)
The gratifying Increase of the popula-
ton of Memphis to 1O2, 32O adds one
more to the cities Of the the South with
over 100, 900 population. The announce
ment Is a pleasant surprise, for after the
disa ppointing experience OF Atlanta and
Nashville 1t was not expected that Mem
phis would do so well. Both Atlanta
and Nashville have great civic pride. and
each has strenuously insisted for years on
population of more than 1OO,O0 Yet
the figures gave Atlanta only 6l,827,
though this was fair increase, ana
Nashville only 8O,865 The shoWings Of
Birmingham and Houston are much bet
ter, but, as a whole, the growth of
Southern cities has been moderate during
the past ten years.
The reason is not hard to find. Those
cities, like Louisville, Memphis and
Birmingham, which have had substantial
growth in manufactures and commerce
and have otherwise enlarged the area Of
employment, have made material gains.
AS the Courier Journal has before OBJ
served, population does not increase If
GnefA are not aQQ1G1Onal Iacll1Gl0S Tor
making a living. Those towns which
have developed their industries have en-
larged in exact proportion. Consequent
ly, healthy growth OF population means
business pr osperity, and vice versa. The
many cities and towns in the East which
have shown big gains are evidence of
this. Many of these have shown larger
growth than the former boom cities of
the West, which captured the admiration
Of every body in 1890.
1t is evident that the South is des-
tined to have at least three large cities,
Louisville, New Orleans and Memphis
1t would be surprising should Birming-
ham and Atlanta not join this column,
but the chances are much thu best for
Birmingham, which must in time be-
come greaJ industrial center. Atlanta
Tas an active and enterpris1ng population
but it is an inland town and has not the
manufacturing advantage of Birming
ham, Louisville, Memphis and New
Orleans are all located on large rivers,
and are likewise great railroad centers,
hence their futures are assured.
One obstacle to progress in the South
is the large proportion of black popula
tiOn, 1t is bad enough in Louisville,
but very much worse in Memphis, New
Orleans and the other cities below US.

Attention! Parade rest. Break
ranksi'' And, with a shout the 300 ca
dets of the John Worthy school rushed
heller skelter over the immense parade
ground within the BridewelI walls, af-
ter having finished their regular daily
military exercises. Beginning with last
June, morning drills of the inmates OF
the school have been a feature of the
days work, and hereafter Uncle Sam
may look to the house Of correction for
recruits. superintendent John J. Sloan
has two full companies Of ca0ets drilling
under the direction of a former officer In
the German army and two officers of the
national guard.
The military fever attacked the Bride
well soon after the new statf of guards,
recently certified to by the civ1l-service
commission, was installed Michael Won
HoIenhoff, one Of the watchmen, spent
nearly all his spare time reviving his
spare knowledge of military tactics, much
to the amusement of companions in
work, who could not understand his
strange gestures.
Forthwith the instructions OF the bows

I. n. g., the boys, ranging from 9 to Il
years old, are marched regularly every
morning between and O'Clock to the
parade ground, which lies behind the
school. At present more than 300 young
prisoners are confined at the school, and

divided up into squads Of 16, each one IL
command of captain OF It's choosing.

the superintendent said. "We contro
the primaries, but they cast the votes .
The duties of the captain are more oner-
Gus than IN a regular military Organtza.

diets all the military maneuvers, but he
is supposed to look after his particular
squad at all times. He sits at the head
Of the table during meals and sees that
thu boys behave themselves around the
school rooms and play grounds, keeps q
Watchful eye on their personal appear
ance, that no buttons are missing, clothes
torn or shoes Improperly polished. Not
withstanding this the rank of captain is
one eagerly sought.
Mr.. Sloan has introduced a unique sys-
tenn Of giving each of his cadets a num-
Der in accordance with his behavior. En-
tering the institution a newcomer is given
badge with the number - in large
figures upon it. Should the boys con
duct during the ensuing month be above
reprOach he receives badge with the
number II on its face, and so on until be

this with the picture Of Judge Tuthill ci
the juvenile court and then can visit him
and ask for his liberty.

Inc charge that Bryan received S15O, 900
from the silver mine owners for insisting
that 10 TO one should be put in the Demo-
cratic platform, is not believed by Mr..
Hanna, who, while holding that Mr..
Bryan Is demagogue, thinks he is
honest. An honest demagogue would
seem TO imply contradiction of terms.
Inc essence of demagogism is deceit, and
honesty and deceit cannot go together.
Nevertheless we think Mr.. Hanna is
right IN disbelieving the bribe story
silver oarons don't spend money for what
5hey can get for nothing-and a resolu-
lion IN IaYor of l6 to one they were sure
60 get In the Democratic platform so
long as Bryan was the candidate, for the
very SIMPLE reason that 1t could not be
lett out without discrediting the candi-
na1e. without repudiating the one thing
ne Is identified with and stands for more
5han any other. We have better opinion
OF Bryan than to believe that he would
DaAe money for any such purpose as is
alleged IN this charge if the temptation
were put before him, and we feel GER
Oaln 5nat IN this case the temptation
never was put before him.

JOSIE COBB's sATCHEL FOUND.

Lewiston, October 5.-The satchel be-
longing to Josie Cobb, the Lewis ton girl
supposed to hayeIbeen murdered, has been
found. 1t was discovered by Daniel W..
Hill on the edge Of BarkervIlIe stream,
where it flows beneath the large stone
culvert, a fraction of mile bsyond the
State fair grounds. This is half a mile
beyond where the body was found. In
it were an aluminium hair comb, a white
cotton night dress and an iron truck
box cap. 1t is supposed that the iron
cap was put in the satchel to sink 1t in

thing for the powers to do Is to

CAMPAIGNING IN ENGLAND
(Boston Advertiser }

1t may be confidently expected that the
campaign riots in Colorado viii receive,
from British critics OF American political
methods, at least all the attention that
those incidents deserve Over in the
British elections, the candidates were not
assaulted with lemons and chunks OF
quartz, mainly for the reason that such
missiles could not conveniently be pro
cured. Besides, even those forcible meth.
DDS are too tame for the refined and intel.
Hgent British electors. Judging from re-
cent dispatches one favOrite London
method of dealing with a candidate is to
drag the unlucky victim from the plat
form and to jam him through the glass
lights OF the nearest door. The advantage
of the British method is that there is al
ways a chance that the candidate will
bear the marks of the encounter for the
rest Of his life 1t may be noticed also
that in British politics the playful atten-
tlOns of the electors are not so vigorously
denounced by all parties as they would
be in the United States.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE FEELING AT THE SOUTH.
New York Post.)

81 suppose there is no danger Of Bry-
ans election - said an eminent South
ern banker to friend in this city few
days ago. "What's that?" replied his In
terIocutor. Il thought you southern
people were all in favor OF his election. -
SO we ar9-on the social question-but
we expect you IN the North to prevent
him from coming in, was the rejoinder
This conversation actually took place a
day or two ago in a New York hotel, and
we print it because it is typical OF the
state of feeling in the business commu-
nifty of the Southern states The great
mass Of the bankers, manufa aoturers, and
traders of the Southern cities and larger
townsville class who have saved some
thing and who have got ahead in the
World-are just as much opposed to free
coinage Of silver at 16 to l. and to a busi-
ness disturbance of every kind as the
same classes in the North They are en-
tangled, however. in the meshes of what
they call the social question, or the negro
question, in such a way that they cannot
separate themselves from the Democratic
party. Whatever bears the party brand
they must accept and ratify. This is to
them the paramount issue. They per-
cetye the ineOngruOusness Of their action
in denying political rights to the negroes
and deman ding them for the Filipinos
and the Porto Ricans. What they are
most afraid Of is negro equality, but next
to that they dread the election Of Bryan,
because they believe that 1t would intro
duce an element OF uncertainty in busi-
ness.
