He is Doing Good Work

There is a general feeling that good
work was done by United States Attor-
ney Burke in the Lee case in the I'm
tied States court at Cheyenne last week.
There was nothing but circumstantial
evidence to onnect Lee with the Union
Pacific train robbery, but the jury
promptly returned a verdict Of guilty
and the prisoner was given a ten year
sentence. This verdict meets public ap-
proval and Mr.. Burke is to be congrat-
ulated.-Wheatland World.

Y I Is ANNOUNCED by one of the
officers of the society recently
Il organized in Philadelphia for
the purpose of developing closer
relations between the two branches of
the English-speaking race that the So
ciety's aim is not political; that 1t does
not look to any formal treaty; that
its purpose is simply to contribute to
a better understanding
a programme directed toward this
end would naturally commend itself to
the better judgment Of most Ameri-
cans, who can certainly have no par
tiality for discord with Great Britain
or preference for a perpetuation OF
prejudices. 1t should be the endeavOr
of the American people to cultivate
the good will of all the nations and
to deserve the enmity or i'll will Of
none. Nor could anything be more ma
tural than that mutual feelings OF
Cordalty and personal esteem should
arise between two peoples having so
many interests and memories and am
btions in common as have the peo-
pie of England ana the people of the
United States.
The American who is alone in a
foreign city and who meets there n
Frenchman, German or Russian, does
not conceive a dislike for him and
certainly has no reason to imagine
that the stranger would not make a
desirable acquaintance if a common
basis of communication and compre-
hensiOn could be readily and easily
established. But when he meets an
Englishman he feels that there is at
once something in common-the lam
gauage-and it is perfectly natural
that a conversation should ensue and
very likely a pleasant friendship be
dated from that moment. This is
something beyond the power of poll
ties to make or mar; it exists without
public policy or opinion, it does not in
volve any reflection upon the French
man, German or Russian; it is simply
matter of course.
The cultivation of this race friendll-
ness can harm nobody and is an OBJ
ject wholly in keeping with the best
traditions. But an alliance in the DO.
litical sense is not TO be thought Of
The time never was when the United
States needed more than it needs today
TO be absolutely free handed in al
its foreign relations.

a Chance for Reformers.

TN THIS DAY of superabundant
societies for the promotion Of
Il miscellaneous reforms it is sur
pEislng that no discerning mind
has not appreciated the necessity for
inculcating a finer spirit of modesty
on the part of the American women
who frequent our summer resorts. Our
reference is not TO the open shame
lessness which is so much in evidence
at this season among sojourners along
our coasts. Although conspicuous, this
represents only a small proportion of
the tourist population and is a feature
of social life which, If we may give
credit to history, has always existed
and presumably always will exist.
We refer more especially to a tenn
porary and comparatively recent phe-
nomenop, which may be described as
an indencate willingness to have ones
picture exploited. Men and women in
public life or of public interest become
callous to this form of notoriety and
do not mind it. When the picturing
Is done respectfully and respectfully
or when, in the form of admitted carl
catures, 1t has the saving merit Of
humor it can be accepted as an ire
pressible manifestation of the spirit Of
the age, with adequate sanction. But

~ ard CToker's treatment of
4 " David b. Hill at Kansas
City is supplied in a letter
to the Washington Post by Alfred
Henry Lewis, one of Crokers author
lied biographers. According to Lewis,
who is presumed to present the Croker
version, Hill had a plot to be the presl-
Dental nominee himself. This ambition
entered David's mind twelve years ago.
Lewis charges, upon the alleged author
ity Of a man who was once Hill's con-
fidential lieutenant. that in 1883 Hill
deliberately threw Grover Cleveland in
New York state and caused his own
election as governor in the hope that
four years later Cleveland would be a
dead figure and Hill would be noml-
mated in his stead. Lewis continues
"Hill was elected governor, and
Cleveland lost the state to Harrison by
5000 votes. Hill went up and Cleve-
land went down; Hill went to Albany,
Cleveland left Washington and public
life. 1t was perfidy on Hills part; but
from his standpoint it was also sue
cess. White House-mad, his better
sense was dulled. Hill grinned broad
ly, took his oath as governor, and be-
gan fencing for the nomination of 1899.

longer the idol of Democracy. Rather
was he its execration. Hill again took
