HOW TO WEAKEN THE BOSS

After civil service reform. the most effective method of weakening the boss is to separate as far as possible local elections from national. says Francis C. Lowell in the September Atlantic. This will encourage independent VOt- ing in it's best sense, that is, local l. ing, Independent of really irrelevant national issues. The partisan voting truly repr, hensible does not consist in voting for the party's candidate in cleo tions where partisan principles are in volVcd, but in voting for candidate labeled with the party name in an cleo t;OT wholly uncCncernC with partis"n T principle. Again, We should no. only separate national from local elections. but should simplify elections of ali kinds. The choice of q multitude of of ficers by direct popular vote may Da practically democratic in a small com munity. where all the candidates are individually known to every one; but iG large constituency the long ballot confUs-s the rriinary voter and a0 streng hens the partisan machinery and helps the boss. At the stat elac- ton in Massachus ettts each voter ha l from nine to twelve officers ,D choose and at the last municipal ele .ji3n m Boston abou; twenty. The simpiifica- tiGn of our ell ctions is a reform whose importance has been mu n uudoryst'- maTed, for the boss thrives on Iii clec- tion 50 complicated that the vcter must oi necessity be Guid, q in his ,hoice by the machine.

WHAT IS A BOSS?.

The boss is q man who concerns him self with politics and with partisan pol itics; SD much is clear. says Francis c. Lowell in the s ptember Atlantic. That there are many partisan politicians who are not bosses is equally clear. Again a boss is not the same thing as q bad or unprincipled politician. Though it Were admitted that MT. Bry- ;.n. for example. is as bad and unprin- ciplad a politician as his worst enemi, s habitually represent him. yet he would not therefore be made a boss.
 A boss is not only a partisan politi- clan, that is. one c.ncerned with par.i
 san politics. but h is a political ma chinist. that is, one concerned with the machinery of political parties. Many politicians are not political machinists. In England. indeed. while nearly every public man is a partisan politician. few of the leading public men are po- litical machnis;s. Mr. Chamberlain is or is supposed to b. rar= exception to the general rule. In this country Messrs. Reed. Edmunds. Blaine. Bay ard Thurman. all partisan politicians, and none of them wholly ignorant of partisan political machinery. yet werr rot political machinists. as was MT Tilden, for example. None of them could have properly managed his own campaign in an important popular cleo ton, as Tilden could and did manage it. No one of the men first mentioned was boss. or could have been; their lack f training as political machinists forbade it; but Tildtn, though a most accomplished machinist, was no boss.

MARRIAGE WITH INDIANS.

That the Indian race is about done for there is no doubt. It all came ab ut Ey intermarriage with the whites. For the most part white men are r5spOn- sible for it. because they have married Indian women more than Indian men have married white women. In the first place the Indian women have quite a fortune ana that has attracted some white men to them, while the Indian men are notoriously unkind to their wivas and can sald nj ge; an Indian woman to marry them willingly.
 In accordance with the general rule Of the Indian department. any white man who mares an Indian woman is entitled to share in the funds of the tribe just the same as the woman her self. Their children are also allowed their equal share with thsi ir mother. Nearly every woman has money de- p0sited with tha United states for land sold many years ago, which brings in a certain income. Some of richest men in the west are those who have mar rIed Indian wives and have d large family of children. Tn In2.an chiefs all try to win a white bri2c, as il is considered a mark of distinction. The government encourages the marriage of white men to Indian women as the true way to civiliza the redskins Somd Of the five civilized tribes are controlled by those wh9 have married Indian women. The Chicklslws are very much opposed to white m T marry ing into their tribe. but none of the other tribes are.-W. R. Draper in Bns- ton Transcript.

 Remarkable to relate, wood can now be us5d for soft. flowing gowns. Wood rulp silk has long been staple in the S. Etienne district of France. By certain secret chemical processes tn pulp is reduced to syrupy condition and is then forced into tubes full of tiny h1l's. through which it emcrges in the form Of fine. silky threads. These ar speedily dried by being pass cd through a hot atmosphere and are forthwith wound on bobbins ready to be woven into silk.

BUTTONS MADE OF POTATO PULP

It is not many years since that the threatened ivory famine produced that remarkable imitation that We know as cellul0id. which has been successfully employed for every possible use. from billiard balls to piano keys. Today the, imitation itself has be initiated and that too, by a curious preparation of potato pulp.
 The inventor is a dutchman named knipers. He treats the waste pulp. it. self a residue from the manufacture of artificial flour. with a solution If acid and glycerine.

Arizona stretches forth the glad hand to Kentucky and Kansas. She
 has reached the plane of
 ALLEE fin de siecle politics oc-
 SAME cupied by those ent-r- KENTUCKY priSlng commonwealths.
 She is experiencing the thrilling sensation of a political con vention in the custody of sheriff. It is democratic convention, of course, and it would have done great violence to itself yesterday but for the foresight and vigor of the sheriff. A democrat himself he is determined that the honor of the party in Arizona shall not be dragged in the mlre. Therefore he has assumed full charge and will not permit any business to be transacted until the de .egates agree to reduce the number of chairmen to one and to keep their hands away from lIitlI DIS tOi DothelS. W it44 slll lllS Ittl't officers in Maricopa county a { his back. and with unlimited power in the di- rection of a posse comitatuz, he doubt less feels confident that today the con- vention will conclude to drop it's war like policy and embrace the orthodox method of procedure. Should the braves decline to bury the hatchet the public may rest assured that the sher- if will give a good account of himself in the subsequent proceedings. He Is terribly in earnest.
 The details of this most remarkable gathering are given elsewhere in this newspaper They illustrate the lengths to which democrats are prepared to g. to secure a political advantage. The Smith faction having by superior ma nipulation in Maricopa county secured q majority of the delegates naturall.y feel that the nomination of a delegate to congress should come to them The Wilson faction, passing it's hopes on a contestine delegation from this county. assumes the attitude of an outraged
