pointed at the meeting in the Bay State
House Monday night got down to work
and began to lay their plans for
vigorous compaign until the last vote
is put into the ballot box Tuesday.
But it was in the evening that Mayor

made three speeches at as many meet

condition of the weather the three were
very satisfactory turnouts of the vot-

as chairman and Councilman Emil
Zaeder as secretary. Speeches were
made by Mayor O'Connell, Councilman

to go with them so as to get out the

rotary. Speeches In the interest OF
Mayor O'Connell were made by Ex-
Alderman Carberry, Councilman
Thomas f. Harvey DR.. William r.
Langlois and DR.. Joseph A. Smith.
Mayor O'Connell also spoke, addressing
the voters especially on the grade
crossing question which affects that
section Of the city so much. He showed
them how he is familiar with every de-
tail of the great question from his long
connection with committees engaged in
considering the matter.
After the meeting in Foresters' Hall.
he went. by invitation, to the meeting
of Court Engelbrecht, f. Of A., whose
members he was asked to address.
Mayor O'Connell is a Forester and he
was given a warm greeting by his
brother Foresters.

him a busy man. Tonight he will at
tend the annual ball Of the Police Re-
lief Association in Mechanics Hall and
also a meeting Of the Roger Wolcott

How aowly promotion in the army often comes is strikingly illustrated by a list of army veterans sent to his paper by the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. He gives the names of the seven officers still on the active list who entered the army prior to the civil war. They have been in the service ever since. and yet none has risen beyond the grade of colonel. and one only attained that rank prior to the outbreak of the Spanish war il 1898. Of the seven. six originally en- listed in the ranks during the decade preceding the civil war. The other, Col
 Francis l.. Guenther, graduated from West Point in 1859. Gen. Henry B. Freeman. late colonel of the Twenty fourth infantry. and Gen. Theodore Schwan. late assistant adjutant gen eral. both recently retired. also entered the army in the fifties as enlisted men.

WHAT OTHERS THINK
HAWAIIAN SALARIES.

Salaries for all public officials in Hawaii are entirely too high. Even granting that living is 30 per cent higher here than in the states, there Is still no reason why such officials as the auditor, attorney general. treasurer and others should be paid s4.O00 per year. as. proposed in the senate. when the same officials in all the western states and territories. excepting Cali fornia, are raid but from sl.0QD to $2,00O per year each. If the state of Utah. with double the population and wealth of Hawaii, can secure the best men in the state to hold important offices at salaries ranging from si,5O0 to 5000 per year. surely $S,000 per year should be sufficient pay for the highest salaried officer in the territory of Hawaii to off, set the increased cost of living. The salaries of clerks in the various depart ments should be cut in proportion and the number materially reduced in al- most every office in the territory Honolulu Republican. i

Perhaps the suggestion of the Press brought to the attention of the last named quintet might cause them to step into the Wall street pool and be healed of the insufferable pes simism with which they are afflicted. It Is hardly to be thought of that they might lose. owing to the fame which each one enjoys operators could easily be found who would be glad to give them tips and in short time they also might become eligible to that charmed circle of plutocrats in which Hogg of Texas and Richard J.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, MAY 23, 1901

An old man who for many years lived life of sin of the most outbreak
 ing variety. though he THE was, perhaps, not so MAJOR great a sinner as many COLD otherswho have lived in MEETINGS. Phoenix during his
 period of ostentatious wicNedness, has been converted under the ministrations of Major Cole. or the genuineness of his conversion there can be no doubt, for however hopeless a sinner he may have seemed to be. he was an honest one' and would not likely become hypocrite at this late day. He was not a man to give way to any other emotion than anger. so that he was altogether most unpromising ma terial for convert. He is now reg ular attendant at the meetings and his family is the happiest in town.
 This is not recorded as matter of news, but as one conspicuous incident of many which have attended these meetings, begun many weeks ago. Hundreds have been converted and among them are scores who their neighbors thought would be the least likely to become interested in religion. The greatest work accomplished. how ever, as we are informed by members of the churches. has been accom- plished, not among the so-caHed sin ners, but within the churches them selves. Those who hitherto thought they were faithful laborers in the vine- yard have been taught that they were not working as effectively as they ought. Their duties have been laid before them in a clearer light and they have been shown how to perform them So that after the evangelist has gone they may take up his work and carry 1t on. In consequence of these meetings the churches of Phoenix are said. by those within them. to be stronger and more healthful than they ever were before.
 This great thing has been brought about as quietly as the leaven works. There has been none of that religious excitement. often dignifed by the name Of enthusiasm. which is no more healthful than fever and just as briefly stimulating.

 We all have colds, you can try it and see. You will find the edge taken off ill a night and, in three or four days you'll be wondering whetho. that cold amounted to any thing anyhow.
 That's relief. If you tackle it quick, the relief is quick and complete, if you wait till the cold is in full possession of head and lung, why, Of course, the relief is quick if it comes in a week.

It Is about agreed in Ohio that the fire eating ex-Congressman Lentz will
 be the democratic can AN didate for Governor. IMPENDING Mayor Johnnon does not OHIO appear to be fighting for STRUGGLE. the honor. Mir. Lentz is
 desirous of obtaining it and is sufficiently wealthy to make his nomination a matter of no little i'm portance. His nomination would pre- sent two members of the same law firm for the suffrages of the voters. Gov ernor Nash and MT Lentz conduct a successful business at Columbus. ana their activity in connection with the plans of their respective parties in that section of Ohio has made it's polit- ical complexion one of kale,doscopic changes for several years. President Mckinley and Governor Nash carried Columbus last fall. but Mir. Lentz had successfully won the congressional con- test against great odds in 1896 and 1898. He lost his seat in 1900. but at the municipal election a couple of months ago the democratic party swept the city again. It is probable that on the strength of that victory, achieved prin- cipaly through Mir. Lentz. he will be accorded the nomination for governor.

ITAI.T's KING WON'T CALL
Two European Courts He Will Pass By
 on Ills Tour This Fall.

King Victor Emmanuel and his con- sort propose in the autumn to make q round of visits to the various European courts, especially tc St. Petersburg. where Queen Helene received her en- tir education under the motherly care ana at the expense of the widowed czarina. There are two courts. how ever. where no call will ba made by the royal Italian couple-namely, those of Vienna and Brussels.
 The failure of the king and queen of Italy to pay the same token of regard and compliment to their ally at Vienna as to their other ally at Berlin Is due to the fact that Emperor Francis Joseph has failed until now to return the call paid by the late King Humbert and Queen Margherita to Vienna more than nineteen years ago, this neglect being due to the objections raised by the pope to the emperor's coming to Rome and to the absolute refusal of the Italian court to receive the visit anywhere else than in the Eternal city.
 With regard to the court of Brussels the reasons of the king and queen for keeping away from it are of twofold character. In the first place King Vic- tor Emmanuel. when suitor for the hand of Princess Clementine of Bel gium, was subjected not only by the Belgian press but likewise by the court treatment. his physical disadvantages being ridlculed in the most unconcealed and mortifying manner, while his suit. 1t Is needless to say. was rejected in a way calculated to humiliate him In d manner far more than would have been necessary
 And then to cap the climax King Leo- pold has within the past week been guilty of the unpardonable affront to the king and queen of Italy of visiting Rome and the Vatican, without going near the Quirinal, ignoring the king ard queen altogether. I mentioned the other day in these letters that he was about to pay a visit to Rome and that all the foreign Catholic courts were watching to see whether he would visit the Quirinal and call on the king ard queen of Italy before going to see the pope, In defiance of the latter's wishes and even commands, or whether he would yield 10 the pontiff's behests and affront the Italian court by ignoring it, He has chosen the latter alternative and the fact that he was in Rome un- der the transparent incognito of a prince of Saxe-Coburg does not dlmin- ish the extent of his lack of courtesy to the Quirinal.
 That Catholic sovereigns should keep away from Rome in deference to the commands of the pope Is irritating enough to the Italian sovereign and government in all conscience, but If, In addition to this boycott. foreign Catholic sovereigns begin coming to Rome and visiting the pope while ig- noring the recognized ruler of Italy, the situation will become downright intol- erable. One of the results of King Leo- rold's visit to Rome, which. 1t is true, lasted only twenty-four hours, the ma jor part of which was spent at the Vat lean, will be a rupture of diplomatic relations between the two countrieS.- Chicago Tribune.

THE ocEAN-cARRYING TRADE.

Selling fleets is q business in which Englishmen are acquiring considerable experience. The Inman and Leyland lines were bought by Americans; a line on the Pacific coast was bought year ago by the North German Lloyds. and the Atlas line has now been bought by the Hamburg-American company. We do not apprehend that Englishmen are thinking of retiring from the sea- Britannia will continue to have good deal of influence with the waves, even if her authority falls somewhat short of rule. But it is a striking thing that at the same moment Britith shipping interests find themselves confronted by competition with two countries. the maritime interest of both of which are of rather recent evolution. It may be noticed in passing that this competition does not come from France, Italy or Austria, the nations which are making the greatest efforts. and with the least results to increase their shares of the ocean-carrvine trade.-New York Jour- nal of Commerce.

AN CAUTIOUS CAPITALIST.

It isn't only the persons that lack caution who lose their money. Fred werohke of Chicago never speculated in stocks. He was too cautious. He wouldn't even trust the ba anks. He con- cealed his pocketbook. containing $300 in paper money. in a stove in his house which had been consigned to temporary desuetude when the days became warm. But chilly day came and his wife started fire. He had not told her that he had used It as a safe deposit vault He saved the charred remains of his hoard. and if experts of the treasury department at Washington have fairly good success he may receive as large a percentage of his money as the more fortunate Wall street speculators saved out of their margins last Thursday Albany Journal.
