Pat Grove and the Police.

The development Of detectives and
policemen does not seem to have kept
step with the evolution OF rogues.
Men like Pat Grove play with the de-
tective force. They know their thick
wits and the police are at their mercy.
The accessories to policeman's dig
nifty, his uniform, his club, the patrol
wagon, the serious regard he has for
himself as an Unresistable agent of
the law, narcotize his energy. The
chief OF police is apt to be policeman
with a multiplied sense of police.
mans dignity and importance. The
rogues have no dignity to maintain.
They have only 10 outwit set Of
men. born for their vocation, with un.
varying methods Of acting when the
law Is outraged. The manufacture OF
safes has kept pace with the develop
ment and ingenuity of burglars. II

Elected on the First Ballot. ~

1t has been understood so long by
Mr.. ThompSon's hired men that he
would be elected on the first ballot
that those who believe everything
they are told. are slightly dazed by the
suspension OF his victory. and the de-
lay Of his triumph over the malignant
enemies OF good and magnanimous
man who only cares TO 60 to the Uni
ted States senate because of the en-
iarged opportunities such an office
will afford him to do good to others.
Juxtaposed to Rosewater and opposed
by two members of the senate who are
candidates themselves, it is somewhat
difficult for Mr.. Thompson to demon
strate the universal legislative popu-
larity he has heretofore claimed. The
opposition OF whole counties to Mr..
Thompson is affecting some of the
Legislators who have been persuaded
that Mr. Thompson is the only can
didate.

is characteristic of the better taste
and regard for convention of the other
candidates and the calibre OF the free
men who are voting for them that
they do not talk with the same conf.
dence and scorn Of their men, A
traveller from Mars or some Enso.
phiSticated enthusiast with ideas
enough to choke him about freedom
and representative government. etc,
would comprehend with difficulty Mr..
Thompson's absolute ownership Of the
Lancaster county delegation, which
is supposed to represent the interests
or the county, but is instead very
nicely carved set Of wooden players
that look just like real men, only they
cannot make voluntary motions, but
are moved by hand. The state might
have saved the expense of the salaries
of the Lancaster delegation if the
voters had elected Mr.. Thompson and
given him six proxies. Then six
other men would not have been able
10 pose as representatives Of the peo-
pie, but the saving to the state would
have been enough to oyerbalance the
loss of what only look like represent
atiyes.

Tesla and the Brothers Grimm

Before the discovery ana the uni
versal application of electricity Nikola
Tesla would have chosen the telling
or compiling of fairy-tales for his pro.
fession. Electricity is still a new
energy. "The plain people" do not
yet limit its possibilities. They be-
.lieve, or according to the very plain
people who write for the newspapers,
they say they believe whatever Tesla
tells them he has accomplished by the
aid of electricity. He says he has had
some mysterious and otherwise unac-
counted for messages, which he is
sure have come from the queer people
liz Mars. There are editors who be.
lieye him. Tesla has the same man.
nerof fOOling people that Kelley used
for so long. The American people
will believe anything that man with
big reputation says. All that is
necessary is for the stOry-teller be
famous, he must therefore be truth
full and he may tell them travellers
yarns without verifying them, and be
met with credibility. Tesla discov.
cred the credulOusness of his audience
years ago and he has played upon it
without protest ever since. He plays
that he knows great secret but will
not reveal it till a certain date. and
the date is at hand he, Iplays that
he knows something more wonderful
still. but he will not tell either one.
We are 50 glad to be amused and
amazed that we agree to all his terms
and to his continual postponement of
the miracles he says he can perform
at will. Meanwhile Bell, Marconi
and Edison have accomplished some
thing. Though Edison dissipates oc-
casionally on newspaper notoriety.
Tesla's latest fake is telautoma-
ton, or an automaton that will work
under orders from controlling mind,
whether near or distant. His machine
is like hired girl In one respect, it
will only take orders from one person.
He claims that he has constructed a
boat that will obey him from the
shore. According to this distin.
guished romancer, the boat has rud-
der, oars ETC.. and has obeyed direc-
tions issued by him at a distance. He
says further that he can furnish a
telautOmaton with a mind Of its own,
that will not be run like his boat with
"a borrowed mind" 81 propose to
SHOW" he says, that an automaton
may be contrived which shall have its
OVID mind, and by this. mean. that
it will be able, independent of any
operator, left entirely to itself to per-
form in response to external influences

variety Of acts and operations, as il it
had Intelligence. 1t will be able to

because they are supposed to increase

better and more useful to the commu-

former would stand a chance of get

The scholars of the Lincoln high

about from class room to classroom

that in this matter you must be mis-

The writer Of the foregoing refers
to a paragraph on the operation of
the free text book law printed in The
Courier Of the seventeenth of N0vem.
Der 1900. wherein it is intimated that
the effect of the law upon the children
Of Lincoln is undermining notions Of
mine and thine. In regard to the
thieyery Of books in the public
schools, the statement was not made
without authority and upon investi-
eating the subject again. find that
there is no occasion for retraction.
In the Lincoln high school new
system has been adopted since the
article was written. When book is
missing from the high school library,
the class is assessed its price. This
system has almost stopped the steal
ing OF books. But the pilfering still
goes on in the cloak room and from
the teachers, who constantly report
losses Of fountain pens and other
small articles from their desks. So
that the improvement in regard to
stealing books, can not be assigned to
tenderer consciences but to discrimi-
nation in selecting the most profitable
articles to steal.
The value Of the articles stolen is
small. But the value is not of so
much significance as the number Of
things stolen. The boys who are in
the high-school now, in few years
will be 10 the city council, in the
legislature, in the cashiers cage, and
