There is material for considerable fun
in the announcement that the Reverend
MIR Sheldon, author OF In His Steps. is
going TO take charge OF a Kansas news
paper for one week and edit 1t as it
should be edited" He is evidently one OF
the small body OF clergymen who have an
idea that it is their special mission to dl-
rect the business and pleasure of the whole
world. The motives Of the editor of the
aforesaid paper in allowing Mr.. Sheldon
TO come into his Office and play hob with
his stan have not been revealed Perhaps
the staff is competent to run the paper
without direction, and. in fact, the clerical
editor will probably be most glad to accent
the aid Of veteran reporters, assistants.
city editors, printers and even office boys.
before his week is up. 1T is said thai he
proposes TO edit that paper "as Jesus
would do it." This sounds slightly iirev-
erent, but it is a quotation from a clergy
man. IL may not be out OF place TO en-
quire. with entire respect, whether the
Founder of the Christian religion would
allow other people TO do a hard weeks
work for which he should have the credit;
and that is probably what Mr. Sheldon will

Mr. Montagu White, the former
Transvaal Consul General in London.
is no doubt an able consular officer.
but that does not constitute him
dplomatist nor yet an inter-
national lawyer. When he describes DR.
Leyds as a full-hedged and recognized
plenipotentiary Of the South African Re
public TO the courts of Europe and at the
same time quotes in support OF the as
sumption, the authority OF Lord Derby
who declared that Transvaal treaty with
ans foreign power shall not be effective
without the approval OF the Queen" he
presents a paradox. DR. Leyds under the
rules Of international Law is competent to
be a diplomatic agent. and to enter into
preliminary arrangements with foreign ma
tons on behalf Of his state, but as all en-
gagements. conventions. or treaties are
subject to approval or rejection by the
British Government. he cannot in the ma
ture of things be a minister plenipotentia-
ry as that designation is used among civ
ilizcd powers.
Mr.. Montagu White is inclined TO split
hairs over the question OF suzerainty. 1t
is an indefinite term al best and authori-
ties are not all in agreement as to its exact
meaning. But there is fact about which
there is no difference of opinion whatever
among statesmen and publicists. A state
which cannot enter into any diplomatic
engagement with foreign powers. without
the consent and approval of another state,
may be independent as far as its domestic
affairs are concerned, but it cannot he con-

formed Nebraskans are responsible for
the statement that Senator Thurston has
negotiated deal whereby his ambition
TO be made the permanent chairman Of the
Philadelphia convention can be gratified.
The Senator is now the Nebraska member
of the Republican National Committee.
When his senatorial career ends with the
Fifty-siXth Congress. it is said he desires
to completely sever all connection with
politics 50 that he may apply himself to
the practice of law in order TO prepare
for the inevitable rainy day" To this
end ne will not ask for recollection to the
National Committee but il is stated he
is willing to throw that place to the Ne
brdskau who can bring him the largest
support for chairman o. the Philadelphia
convention. which position lac intends
shall be the last Of a political character
that he will hold. For the purpose in
view it is said that The Hon r. b.
Schneider Is the strongest Nebraskan
available. Mr.. Schneider is the Western
representative Of the Sugar Trust and il
is supposed he can make himself useful
through that relation to Senator Thurs
ton. Al any rate Mr.. Schneider is the
Senator's choice to succeed him on the
Republican National Committee. and IL is
presumed he can prevail upon the Sugar
Trust barons TO use their influence with
Mark Hanna TO allow Mr.. Thurston to pre-
side at Philadelphia in Jun".

deavoring 10 enlist the support OF Mr.

whether Senator Pritchard can succeed in

Afraid of the scnem..-seua,

Afraid of the schcmc.-Senator
Hanna S frequent visits to the White House
after the close of office hours during the
past few days are reported to have an i'm
portant bearing on the ship subsidy
scheme. II is said that strong representa-
tions against the Hanna Payne bill have
been made to President Mckinley by inilu-
entail We-tern Republicans during tire pas I
week, and that Mr.. Mckinley is becoming
impressed with the political adylsability Of
rostponing final action on the bill to the
next session of Congress. It is kn5wn that
there is a strong sentiment against the
measure in the West. and it is supposei
that the President has been brought to
realize that it will be better for him to
enter the next campaign without the load
which u defence or an explanation o. the
ship subsidy scheme would impose upon
him and the party. The understanding is
that Mr.. Mckinley has urged Senator Han
ma not to push the bill at this session. with
the promise to the interests back Of the
measure that the full power of the Admin
istration will be arrayed in its favor at the
second session OF the Fifty-sxth Congress
II is feared that Cells P. Huntington and
the influences made friendly to the Mica
ragua Canal bill by assurances that the
Administration will give them Ship Sub
sidy bill IN return for their support Of the
canal enterprise will not be willing to S c
the measures thus separated. and therefore
a. Is thought that il Mr.. Hanna agrees to
postpone action on the subsidy scheme il
will be only on condition that the Mica
ragua Canal bill also is held up.

Danger.

Upon several occasions the Canon
City mail carriers have reported that
the mail boxes ON their routes have
been molested. Not only have they
been smeared with mud, but they
have been hammered with rocks, and
in one or two instances broken. Mud
has also been forced inside 60 as to
soil the letters. The most serious
act, however, was that Of throwing
lighted matches inside, with the re-
suit that one letter was badly burne...
The postofice inspectors have the
matter in hand and thorough inves-
tigation is being made; the guilty
parties are suspected and the question
now is, as to the nature of the pun
ishment, as the guilty ones are sup
posed to be small boys. The penalty
for these offences is three
years in the penitentiary and q fine
of $1,000. Parents who persist in
allowing their children to wilfully
continue such acts of vandalism are
equally guilty with the children and
can, no doubt, be made to suffer for
act of their child.
The RECORD does not wish to make
the acts referred to appear in a
worse light than they really are, nor
is it deemed necessary to make
the penalty seem more severe than it
may be made, but boys, or any other
person, who hereafter interferes in
any way with United States mail
boxes in Canon City must stand pre-
pared to take the punishment that
the government will mete out to the
offenders. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
