essary. 1t is difficult therefore to associate
so venerable and inflrm a gentleman with
political leadership at this exciting time.
In view Of the criticism that is leveied at
Mr.. McLaurin, 1t is but fair to explain why
General Hampton is available to his party
in this race. II his friends had succeeded
in an effort of theirs he would not be avail
able. He was the commissioner OF rail-
roads when Mr.. Mckinley became Presf-
dent, and his friends desired his retention.
He himself was perfectly willing to serve
under a republican administration, but Mr..
Mckinley. with the highest appreciation OF
General Hampton, had plans Of his own
which included General Longstreet for that
office, and the change was made. Other
wise, General Hampton would now be NIL
ing under Mr.. Roosevelt the place he filled
satisfactorily under Mr.. Cleveland.
General Hampton as long as he lives will
be honored as citizen by South Carolina
and by the country. But for the fight that
is now on over new policies for the nation
1t is respectfully to be doubted If he Is very

Educational Counterfeitfns

No reasonable person Is likely ever to
complain against the vigilance of the secret
service of the treasury In it's efforts to
prevent counterfeiting. But there seems
at times to be such a thing as too much
diligence In behalf of the public purse
As, for instance. the recent seizure of a
stock OF arithmetic text books published
for use In the Philippines. on the score
OF their containing fac SMILES OF Ameri-

Not m Political Judge.

Within twenty-four hours after his ap-
pointment to the federal bench Judge Jones
of Alabama has justified the Presidents
Judgment In his case There Is little
patronage connected with his court-prob-
ably twenty places-in the way Oh
clerkships, commissionerships. and that
sort of thing, and democratic politicians
at once organized to capture II. They did
not doubt that 1t could easily be done The
fncumbents of these minor offices were re-
publicans. The new judge was a demo-
crat Would not his assumption OF au-
thority mean a change in all the places
under his control? Would he not proceed
Immediately to surround himself with men
OF his own party and probably personal
friends? That was the everyday machine
conception of the situation, and so men of
a forehanded temperament promptly ap-
piled for recognition.
Judge Jones, however is not Of the Tam
many brand of men. He is not going to
run his court on political lines. The clerk
ships and the other places are out Of reach
of the local spoilsmen. The fncumbents
are safe far politics is concerned II
they are competent and are discharging
their duties satisfactorily they will be re-
tained.
Neither will Judge Jones lend himself to
any of the ambitions of the local repub
Ican politicians. He has turned them down
also. Some of them, upon the assumption
that his recommendation would be of value
with the President In the matter of polit-
ical patronage. applied to him for indorse-
ment, and were refused. He is not in poll
tics. and does not interpret his appointment
to the bench as an invitation from the
President for his views about Alabama
patronage He will confine his attention
strictly to the duties of his office, and in
doing that feel assured that he Is fully
meeting the ends of his appointment.
This attitude. it may be repeated. Is, in
itself. sufficient proof that IN the case of
Judge Jones the President has chosen wise
ly. The courts. everywhere. state and fed
eral. should be divorced from the manipu-
lation of political bosses. In New York 1t
has been shown that Richard Croker makes
and unmakes judges as they may submit
or refuse to submit to his wishes in the
matter of court patronage. After twenty
eight years of honorable service on the
bench, Judge Daily was forced into private
life by the boss of Tammany Hall because
he refused to remove a trained and trust
worthy clerk of his court and appoint one
of Mr.. CrOker's cronies to the place. Ac-
cording to Tammany that was an entirely
proper proceeding, and Tammany ratified
Mr.. Crokers revenge at the polls. But
there will be copying of Tammany in
Alabama so far as Judge Jones is con-
cerned. He is not at the beck and call of
the local politicians.

international Agreement on Passport,

One Of the most desirable lines Of discus
sion regarding the institution Of means to
repress anarchism In this country is that
relating to the betterment of the immigra-
tion laws. 1t Is recognized that until those
laws are amended to give the government
greater power for the exclusion OF other
classes of undesirables than those who are
now under the ban, the domestic police
problem will remain seriously embarrass-
ing. For 1t Is undeniable that the largest
percentage OF the radical agitators now In
the United States are Of foreign birth. The
remarks upon this subject by immigration
Commissioner Fftchie Of the port OF New
York In the course of his annual report are
commendable in that they seek to discrdmi-
nate between the measures Of practicable
supervision over the Immigrants. Mr..
Fitchie points out that the only sure means
of exclusion is to assume that the applt-
cant for admission Is a criminal or an un-
desirable person unless he can produce
certificate from his government giving him
a good character. Thk harsh theory Mr..
Fftchie declares would work no harm in
operation, for the desirable immigrant
could readily procure such a certificate, and
the tightening Of the lines at American
ports would soon cause the European gov
ernmenIS TO De more I1glu IN LQelr lSSuduCe
of passports.
The whole evil reverts to the lack of any
working international agreement on the
subject. Some countries are lax in their
police supervision over the emigrants, 9TH
ers are strict. Some are careful to keep
close tab on the doings and whereabouts of
each individual, while others maintain no
such surveillance whatever. Europe has as
much to gain from an international co-ope-
ration as the United States; indeed, consid-
have today more at stake than has this
country. For each of them is possible
target for the malevolence of anarchists
harbored here and in Europe, while this
country IS apparently, far as evidence
goes to show, not menaced by the anar-
chists now established abroad. But this is
no time to analyze the selfish interests Of
any individual powers. The need of the
day is for a more definite understanding
among the governments as to what consti-
tutes an anarchist, what measures are wise
for his repression, what liberty should be
allowed to him in his wanderings and what
form of passport shall be given to persons
whose migrations are ostensibly harmless.
The passport system, so often abused
abroad. to the serious inconvenience Of hon
tify itself by a sensible applica ton to the
solution of this vitality important interna-
tional problem of self-protection.

Union Stations.

Two American cities Of first Importance
as railroad centers, which have not here

its corporate limits, larger number of

larger daily average number of cars than
any other city, Mayor Harrison was re-

Most glorious garb she doth unfold

The wind her chariot shall bring,

10 to IA miles apart, and fresh horse
of Spanish blood was obtained at each
station. There was little delay in these
changes of horses, as the rider gave the
coyote yell' half mile away, and.
day or night, the station men had the
pony ready. so that the rider had only
to dismount from one horse and mount
the other, and with dig of the spurs
he was on a run again. This ride of
140 miles usually was made in IL hours.
On each route there were two express
riders, one going each way. AS easy as
it may seem to some for man to be-
stride fresh horse after horse for 40
miles, there We're few men able to

lied that there is time limit to endur-
ance, and therefore he gave the bron-
chos little more of the steel than
usual and made the trip to Julesburg
in II hours. Arriving at Julesburg, be
had his fears confirmed. His partner
was in bed. He had hoped that he
might have few hours for rest. but
before he had time to dismount and
stretch his cramped and tired muscles
the coyote yell' of the east going rid
err was heard.
He drank some cold coffee, filed his
pocket with cold meat and was in the
saddle again for another 140 mile ride
In order to be able to live the route out
he sent them for all there was in them,
with the result that he arrived at Mid
way. after having ridden $50 miles, in
% hours from the time he had left
there. Ben Holiday gave him a gold
watch and a certificate of his remark

why He Failed.

A young man who had failed by only
three points in an examination for adj
mission to the marine corps appealed to
his representative in congress for assist
ance, and together they went to see the
curing what is known as "rerating' Of
his papers.
"How many chances do you want r.
asked Secretary Long. ''This is your
third time" And before the young man
had chance to answer the secretary
continued: How do you expect to get
along in the world when you smoke so
many cigarettes? Your clothes are satu-
rated with their odor. Pull off your
gloves and let me see your fingers. There,
see how yellow they are" pointing to the
sides of the first and second fingers.
Before the young man found his tongue
to offer an explanation the secretary ask
ed him if he drank
"Only Rnce in awhile" was the sheep
ish replyJ
Secretary Long then invited the con-
gresham into his private office and, while
offering to do everything that he could
consistently, added, 81 am sick of trying
to make anything of these boys that are
loaded with cigarette smoke and drink
once in awhile They are about hope
less"
When they left the department build

his poor showing, remarked, Drinking,

laconically. Boy.
