Van Wyck and Tweed.
Mayor Van Wyck's confession of
his acceptance of stock from the ice
trust has overwhelmed New York
with shame. A student of human
nature has suggested that thirty
years ago when the New York Times
secured the testimony that convicted
Tweed Of having stolen Si0O0O,OOO
from New York, the people were
astonished. They talked about the
large sum Of money and were interest
ed in the exposition Of his robberies.
Now the conscience of the people is
profoundly shocked. People are not
talking about the money Mayor Van
Wyck has made. School children are
taught the duties OF citizenship, the
relation of the mayor and other city
officers to the community. and the
Nervousness of betraying city.
This changed attitude of the peo-
pie towards Van Wyck's crime demon
strates that civic consciousness is
deepening. and that, however it may
seem We are not advancing in a circle.
The Tweed scandal, the revelations
of the Lexow committee and now
evidence of Mayor Van Wyck's cor
ruption are discouraging. Apparent
ly they indicate that city officials are
all dishonest and that a few of them
are found out. In Tweed's day it is
doubtful if the discovery of ice stock
under the same circumstances of its
possession by Van Wyck would have
disqualified the mayor from holding
the mayoralty and earned him the dis
favor of men of his own party. There
is no discussion now about the i'm.
propriety of his requirement of the
stock and his inevitable retirement
from politics.
The World is yellow newspaper
but its services to the city in this case
are just as grateful as those of The
Times in the Tweed case. BY the
cleverest and patientest detective
work World reporters discovered that
the mayor held five thousand shares
of ice trust stock. Their lawyers cit
ed him to appear in justice court
where they produced the irrefutable
evidence of his guilt.

The Chrisman.
Mr.. Chrisman, the teacher of paid
ology in the Kansas Normal School,
who made unscientitic statements
about women before the Mothers con-
greSs at Des Moines has been investi-
gated by the regents OF the Kansas
school. One half were in favor of
asking for his resignation, and the
other half willing that he should re-
main till he sighted another school,
willing to employ survival Of the
dark ages or Turk.
Kansas cIubdom is a particularly
strong and progressive body Of women
and as more than fOur-fifths of the
undergraduates in the normal school
are young women, Chrisman's early
departure from Kansas is predicted
with some show of authenticity.
Census Questions.
Mrs. May Wright Sewell, president
of the International Council of Wo-
men refused to answer the census
takers questions as to whether she
was black or white and whether she
could write or not. The newspapers
have advised her that it is silly to get
mad at anything the government
chooses to direct the canvasser to ask.
But the canvasser represents the
whole people and even an average in
telligence would not be guilty Of ask.

Reorganization.
The General Federation of Women's

sented only incidentally, because it
may be broadly considered a woman's

putting in an expensive pump to
raise. But the councilman was per-
sistent and The Courier was satisfied
that the citizens had used salt water
long enough. No other paper in the
city was on the side OF pure water.
The salt water comes from the Salt
creek basin. 1t spoils iron boilers,
lead pipe and warps and destroys the
human stomach. Nevertheless the
coal dealers and Mr.. Thompson
thought the water stations should re-
main on the west of the city, and Mr..
Mockett was advised in language
which he said was unique, because OF
its profanity, TO attend to his own
business. But in spite CT plots and
counter-plots the Mockett well was
dug, satisfactorily tested and now
supplies the city with stream of un.
tainted, refreshing water, whose con-
duit is now being widened.
"The Management"
Mr.. Thompson's managers are
laundering lot. In the hands of the
opposition they are as cattle led TO
the shambles by disguised confede-
rate of the butcher. The opposition
to Mr.. Thompson had deadened in
this section. Former opponents had
accepted the inevitable, made up
their minds to be quiet and do moth
ing TO interfere with republican sue
cess. Mr.. Thompson's chances were
never better in Lincoln when Messrs.
Bud Lindsey, Billingsley, Tom Ben
ton and Courtney mistook passive
disgust for popularity. They decided
the time had come to take the horses
out of Mr.. Thompson's victoria and
give him triumphal entry into the
city, where he has advertised that he
means to build three large, very eX-
pensive and ornamental wholesale
houses. For this purpose the Abra-
ham Lincoln club was assembled and
a resolution was offered endorsing and
pledging loyalty to the county con-
yrntion which nominated we'll known
Thompson men for the legislature.
When it was first offered it stirred up
only two anti Thompson men who
bappened to be at the meeting.
These men responded to the pole and
Captain Billingsley magnanimously
offered to let the matter rest for
week. In addition Mr.. Thompson's
iDtimates dared the opposition to pro-
duce proofs OF his offer to sell what
republicanism he had for place in
the senate. And this, though every
body, populist, democrat or repub-
lican assuredly knew that Mr..
Thompson made the offer and attempt
ed to effect the sale. A weekfrom that

Mr.. Bryan's experience in farming
bids fair to rival his career as soldier.
Chairman Jones firmly believes he
has Croker and Hill under bonds to

Peru and Costa Rica have adopted

little inroad upon the profits of the

Notwithstanding the unpleasant ex-
periences of the missionaries Chairman
Jones continues to work upon Mr..
Croker and Mr.. Hill.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Bryan will
attempt TO explain any Of his miscar-
ried predictions. He will simply go
right ahead making new ones.

the Democrats steal their campaign
