turned to their owners at once.
The tale OF their wanderings is an in
teresting one as told by Mr.. Harding
Various things have been missed from
the mill in Madison for SOME time The
thing grew monotonous and the company
decided that If it wanted to retain the
mill ana not awaken some fine morning
and find it among the missing, they must
DO something to check the seemingly ire
slstlble Impulse Of their property to wan
der off and be lost.
Ihcy placed the matter in the hands Of
Mr.. Harding, who armed with the proper
papers. went to the house of a certain
Jacob johnson, an Armenian, employed
by the company, and made an investiga-
ton 70 see if he was not the magnet that
was drawing the property away. His
house was searched and about 1850 pounds
OF the property of the company was
found in the shape of lead, copper,
bronze, brass ana castings. The stuff
had evidently been collected piece by
piece about the mill whenever anything
could be found detachable and capable Of
being luggcd off without detection, and
large. Some of the stuff was secrcted in
the shed ana some Of il in the cellar.
The whole lot was worth in the ncighbor-
hood Of SO. - az old junk. Johnson was
arrested ana placed in the lookup to
await his trial.
What was found in Madison did not ac-
count for all the stuff that had been
missed, and, acting On suspicion, Mr.
Harding accompanied by Mr.. IIannigan

A AIISFTT.

In giving out his appointments we notice
that Chairman Jones, of the National
Democratic Committee. has assigned Mr..
Clark Howell, editor Of the Atlanta Con-
-stitution. to the Press Committee. Mr..
Howell was one Of those who begged Mr..
Bryan not to insist upon the 16 to 1 plank
in the Kansas City platform, and more re-
gently MIR. Howell has shown that he is an
.expansionist He says that the Democratic
party has no idea, If successful, Of with
drawing our troops from the Philippines,
and he has strongly intimated that the
party has no idea Of giving up the Philip
pines. He has declared that the only diff
ference between tie Republican party and
the Democratic party ON this subject IS as
to the future government Of the philippine
-Is.ands-whether the F'ilipinos are to be
governed as colonists or treated as terri
torial residents, with the view, by and by,
to the privilege of American citizenship.
If this is not Mr.. Howell's idea. then we
have totally misunderstood a recent edito-
rial on tina: subject in the Atlanta Cons,itu-
ton.
Now, the Kansas City platform comes
out boldly for the free coinage of silver at
16 to l and for the complete independence
of the Filipinos. AIr. Howell is opposed to
both, yet he is part and parcel of the
Democratic organization, and stands high
in the party counses. All Of which causes
,us to remark that for ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain politicians are
about as peculiar as the heather Chinee.

PAUL KRUGER.

1t is said that President Paul Kruger Is
ready to surrender, If he can have any as
surance that he will be considerably
treated by the British Government.
There should be no doubt on this point.
The Beers have fought for what they be-
lieved to be their rights. and they have
made as gallant fight as any people ever
made for their independence.
Great Britain should treat them gencr-
ously and magnanimously. from Paul
Kruger down. The old man should be
permitted to spend his last days in peace
In his own land. 1t would be cruel to
Danish him to desolate island, and the
civilized world would resent such treat
u,ent from great Britain.
