Preaching Morals, Practicing
immortality.

The case of Senator Hoar is
precisely similar to that of Presi-
sident Mckinley. He sets forth
his belief in the highest ideals of
craftsmanship and patriotism. He
declares in behalf of common
decency, justice and humanity, and
makes powerful appeal for
political righteousness. He shows
up the imperlalistic policy of his
party IN all it's hideousness, and
denounces it. And then, having no
Governor to speak for him, he
speaks for himself, and declares
that he is ready to indorse tile in
fanny which he is arguing against by
supporting the Republican party
This is the flower and conservatism
of modern Massachusetts statesman
ship-to approve the right and refuse
to do it, to approve justice and
proceed to work injustice, to stand
up for liberty and then aid in crush
ing it, to pay tribute to freedom
anu JOIN III AAiihS IL, ~ aASoNot~
what is right and just and then
f1out it, to put in plea for human
ity and join with those who are
guilty of inhumanity, to set up
high and noble ideals only to kick
them over.
Such is the attitude of Mr.. Hoar
and the rest of the eastern Repub-
licans who have been all along
fighting the policy tooth and nail.
OF what avail is his eloquence. or
his beaming, or his citations of
maxims and traditions if he is to
join hands with those whose plans
and schemes he is denouncing7
We ,annot conceive of a more
vicious brand of craftsmanship than
this. It is comparable only to the
frolic of a whale whose spoutings
mean nothing. In the case of
Senator Hoar they are calculated
to shock the moral sense of those
who are sensitive to conclusion of
this kind. Of what avail would be
the eloquence of lecturer on
morality if we knew that, on the
whole, he p referred to consort with
those whose immortality was I'M
denia ble?-Alanta Constitution.

n SUGGESTION.

Before entering upon the dis
charge of their duties the members
of the incoming Police Jury and
School Board will do we'll to profit
by the experience of their predeces-
sors. There has been tendency
in these parochial bodies to leave to
each member the administration of
the affairs of his ward.
The Police Jury is to the parish
what the Legislature is to the State.
A Police Juror represents his ward,
but he IS not clothed with the au-
thority to legislate for that ward.
1t is very natural that his sugges
tons and recommendations respect
ing the affairs of his ward should
receive the consideration to which
they are entitled, but there is no
reason to accept them biindiy and
without looking into their merits.
If the law intended to vest the
Juror with unlimited power to be
exs4cised without consulting the
judgment of his colleagues there
would be no need of holding meet
ings. That there has been an ia
clination among the present Police
Jurors to allow each member to run
things Is he deemed proper has
been clearly shown on several oc-
casions. However, we are pleased
to state, there has been a marked
improvement in this respect within
the last year. This method of car
rying on the business of the parish
leads inevitably to one result A
member who desires to do certain
things in his ward will not deny to
another member the same privileges
lest he will be shorn of his power.
The consequence is that every Juror
is given authority never contem-
plated by the Law. If not much in
jury has been caused by this policy
or lack of policy it is because the
majority of the Jurors are good
men and did not abuse of their
power. This is creditable to the
Jury, but it is no recommendation
of the method employed. Police
Jurors should bear in mind that
while they are elected to represent
certain wards they are called upon
to legislate for the whole parish.
What we have said of the Police
Jury is equally true of the School
Board. In this BODY there seems to
have been a tacit agreement among
the members to allow each repre-
sentative to name all the teachers
in his ward. There is no reason
why a School Director should ap-
point the teachers for his ward.
In a matter so important, we be-
iieve it wiser to rely upon the judg-
ment of the Board than upon the
Judgment of single member who
is at best but human and may be
influenced by personal reasons.
The selection of school teachers
is duty too serious to be trif1ed
with and too grave to be neglected.
The Gazette believes that if the
incoming Police Jury and School
Board will do away with this sys-
tenn or method which places into
the hands of the ward representa-
tive powers which do not belong to
him there will be no reason to COM
plain of the change.

The kaiser rises at 5 o'clock, swal. lows a cup of coffee and then begins work. The Emperor Francis Joseph IS about at o'clock. and breakfasts on coffee and buttered toast. The king of Italy, the king of Sweden, the king of the Belgians the king of Denmark, the sultan and the prince of Bulgaria rise at the same hour as ordinary mortals. The record for indoIence is held. by ex. King Milan. He retires to rest at peep or day. rises at midday and takes 2 long time over his breakfast.

 5gEs on some store doors, and lower story shutter bears from oz.5 5o five The paddock weighs from one to fifteen pounds. The popular size is five pounds and two and one half inches thick, says the Chicago Record. The closing of 8 store is an affair of consequence. The heavy shut ters are swung together, the ponderous iron bars are put fn place, the padiocks are adjusted and locked. and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door. The door is sbut the bars are placed and the paddock $ fixed and locked, and the Verdant stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. It is not. 4 piece of cord is drawn through the hasp Of the paddock and the two ends are held against the doc. .by clerk or boy, while the pro- prietor meIts piece of sealing wax and sticks the ends to the door On the hot wax he places his private stamp. 4 promenade On an Irkutsk business street after closing time shows the huge padI0cks, the two lines of string and a fat dab Of red wax as big as a silver dollar.

Lake of sulphurlo Aeld.

It may be difficult to believe n the existence Of a lake of sulphurie acid, but. according to Tit-Bits, there is such 2 lake in the center of Sulphur island, of New Zealand. It is fifty acres in extent, about twelve feet in depth and fifteen feet above the level or the sea. The most remarkable characteristic of this lake, however. is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro ehIori, and sulphuric acids. hissing and bubbling at a temperature of no degrees Fahrenheit. The dark green colored water looks particularly un- inviting. Dense clouds of sulphurie fumes constantly roll of this boiling ealaren. and care has to be exercised iE approaching this lake to avoid the risk of stffocation. On the opposite side Of the lake may be seen the tremendous bloHholes. which. when in full blast. present an overlapping sight. The roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth into the air is deafening, and often huge bowlers and stones are hurled out to a height of several hundred feet bg the various internal forces of na- tare.

Scheme Tat Falls.s.

A Danish scheme of state and com munai gratuities. or pension to desti- tue males who have passed their six tieth year, and who have led reputable lives. has not resulted in the good aB- ticipated by fts advocates and promo ters. On the contrary, it's workings have been demoralizing. The poor, so called. refuse to make, or even strive to make, provision for old age while 1t is in their power to do so, on the ground that support from pensions Will tome without effort Children IL fourishing circumstances refuse to as- sist their needy parents, money in saw ings banks has been withdrawn and squandered and benefit associations to which employers have contributed have Iapsed into bankruptcy.

Lady Randolph Churchill has inher- ted the aiE of her father, Uncle Lar ry=4 Jerome, as she demonstrated upon one occasion to an eminent British politician. He was somewhat annoyed at the campaign she had made, and said: - really don't understand. ma dam, why or how it is that American ladies refuse to enter political life in their own country but overwhelm us here in England. That is because you never traveIed in the states. The men there are so intelligent and patriotic that they do not require the services of our sex as an educating force. The Arg0naut.

 In pursuance Of the policy now pur- Eued by the consular service Of aseer- taining the state of foreign fields as opportunities for American labor, cap itaI and enterprise, Horace ". Allen. consul general to Seoul, Korea. writes for the consular reports under date of January 8 that Korea now employs no foreign military officers as advisers or instructors fn it's army, and is not likely to do SO ewing to an agreement made with Russia when a large staff Of Russian officers were allowed to leave. By this agreement Korea an nouneed her ability and intention to dispense with further assistance Of that kind. The many requests from young Hen who have recently left the service Of the United States asking for pCsf- tions 1n connection with the Korean army are futile. There is 10 demand for their services in Korea. There fs no demand for foreign advisers to fha Korean government Although two Americans who held such positions have recently died, their places have been filed. and there is no further de- mand for assistance of that kind The newspaper report that one Of these advisers had been receiving a salary of s100 oo0 gold per annum is entirely misleading: such positions pay from $50 to $z50 per month. There is no demand for employees on the railroads fn Korea. Japanese control and op- crate the steam railroad, and Koreans and Americans are employed on the electric railroads. I believe the posi- tons are all filed Employment with l the mines would have to be secured be- fore coming to Korea. The agent Of the mines in America is H.

Prospectors cannot operate in Korea. and there is no employment with tae mines other than on wages. an tsld the mining company has no lack of ap- pIIeaHts.
