National politics does not seem to have
played any part in the recent municipal
elections in the West. The successes were
Gratis and Republicans in the smaller
cities, but in the larger ones the Demo-
Gratis were generally successful. For in
stance, Democrat was elected mayor
of Chicago, and st. Louis and Cleveland
elected Democratic mayors.
In the main, the elections turned on 10
cal issues, and the people seemed to like
the Democratic view of these issues bet
ter than the Republican view. AS mat
ter of fact the Democratic party is the
party of the people. 1t is ever looking al
ter the interests of the masses.
1t is worthy of notice that in the
municipal contests in which they took
part neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Altgeld
had any influence worth noticing. In Chi
cago Mr.. Altgeld urged Democrats to vote
against the regular Democratic nominee
for mayor. Carter Harrison. No attention
apparently was given to his advice. 1t is
a question whether he controlled any vote
except his own. Mr.. Harrison was re-
elected by a larger plurality than that
which he received two years ago.
In st. Louis the Democratic nominee
was a gold Democrat. Both Mr.. Bryan
and Gov. Altgeld urged Democrats of that
city to scratch him. He was elected by a
large plurality The opposition of Mr..
Bryan and Gov Altgeld did not cause
him to lose any votes, judging from the
vote cast at the previous mayoralty con-
test.
AS a matter of fact the silver question
no longer plays a prominent part in
national, state or municipal politics. The
people look upon that question as practi-
cally settled-at least for the time being.
The supply of gold is ample for the
worlds needs. AS long as there is no
scarcity of that metal it will be impossible
to get up any enthusiasm for silver. And
ID is doubtful if it would be possible to
bring about a great demand for free sill
yer coinage even if gold, on account of
financial disturbances, should go into
hiding as it did during the panic of 1898.
The large vote which was cast by Demo-
Gratis at these municipal elections in the
West shows beyond shadow of a doubt
that the Democratic party was not great
iy demoralized by it's defeat in the presi-
Dental contest.

BILLION DOLLAR steel. STOCKS.

The holders of the preferred and com
mon stock of the billion dollar steel trust
are willing to sell their holdings and the
public is willing apparently to purchase
them. The stocks are listed on the New
York Stock Exchange. On Monday hun
dreds of thousands of the shares were
sold, the preferred bringing as much as
S97 and the common as much as $40 per
share. Speculation may send prices far
above those given, or an announcement
of a depressed market for steel products
may send the prices down many points.
Wall street is no doubt happy over the
coming of so large an amount of new Sc
curities which offer such an inviting field
for stock gambling. These securities,
while they may be good, undoubtedly offer
splendid opportunities for relieving the
lambs of their surplus wealth. 1t can
hardly be otherwise, until it is seen just
what the earning power of the trust is,
than that there should be heavy fiuctua-
tons in the prices of the stocks. And
even after 1t has been demonstrated Gust
what the trust can do in the way of maxi
ing money, the fiuctuation win be such as
to offer tempting opportunities for stock
gambling.

Lord Salisbury, addressing the Eng
lish Chamber of Commerce, advised all
youth who were to enter the pursuits of
commerce TO know French, German and
Spanish before Greek or Latin.
Probably the oldest mail carrier in the
United States is Samual Gibbons of Hodg
denville, Ky. He is rs years old and for
sixty-three years, with hardly an inter-
mission. he has been in the employ OF the
government as a mail carrier. His career
in this capacity was begun in 1896, when
he was II years old. during the "Old Hick-
ory'' Jackson administration.
Baron Stumm, one of Germany's most
influential personages, commercially and
politically, who died recently at the age
of 81, was enormously wealthy, owning
vast factories and iron foundries at Neun-
kirchen, where he was greatly loved by
his work people on account of his strict
justice and kindness. On the other
hand, he was bitterly hated by the social
lists, who saw in him the type of capt.
talism. He was often called King Stumm
because of his possessions and his some
what autocratic bearing.

At last we are assured by scientific au-
tbority that the stuff that dreams are
made of has been discovered; and it's ali
so simple when one knows about it. DR.,
Bergson of Paris is the iconoclast who
invented by poets, artists and musicians
The circulation OF the blood in the retina
and the pressure of the eyelids upon the
optic nerve. he says, cause color sensa-
ton. The colors assume phantom shapes
which stir the memory; and that is what
dreams are made of.

There is a law in Russia condemning
students TO penal service in the army If
they assemble to petition the throne.
This law has been entirely ignored in
the matter of the recent disturbances in
ST. Petersburg and Moscow. Has the
Car seen a light? Does he propose to
permit the students more liberty. or is it
because he is afraid to put any more dis
affected material into the army? At pres
ent that establishment is honeycombed
with socialism and discomfort.

OF frequent parental Intervention that

any rate, they are rather famous in their

Shortly after the breaking out Of the
war with Spain the government bought
vessel which became known as the trans
port Terry. The purchase price was $780,
900, and $4,000 worth of repairs were put
on the vessel. Now the government wants
to dispose of the craft, having no further
use for it. Forty thousand dollars would
be accepted, but there appears to be no
body willing to give half that sum. Re-
Gently a bid of $4,000 was received, and
rejected. The sale was readvertised, but
the second advertisement brought no bid
at all. Now the question is, would it be
better for the government to give away
its useless $175,0 vessel If 1T can find any
body that will take her, or try to find
some special work for her to do?

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia North American says:
ut was Kitchener, the iron-handed SOL
der, who advised that terms to the Beers
include amnesty for Cape Colonoy rebels
and representative government for the
Boer states and it was Chamberlain, the
commentaries of political office, who
spurned the advice and derided Kitchener
as a fool for making such preposterously
peaceable proposals. The hardest fighter
is usually the most generous foe, and the
most implacable enemy is the non-com-
Blatant Chamberlain's public censure of
Kitchener places that soldier in a new
and more favorable light, and proves that
the secretary himself Is the chief obsta-
Gle to peace in South Africa"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says: zone of the most unique develop
ments Of the Boer war is the notlfica-
ton by DR.. Leyds and his colleagues
warning Mr.. Chamberlain that a combi-
nation of European and American mer-
chants will boycott English goods until
independence Is granted the Beers The
cause is indeed hopeless that must resort
TO the boycott. 1t is a weapon which not
only does not win for those who employ
It. but in almost every instance helps the
other side TO win"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: THE failure OF reform iegis-
lation for the divorce evil In Rhode Island
Is charged up against the Rhode Island
lawyers, who organized an opposition
when they perceived that the proposed
law would injure their practice IN the
divorce courts. The people who think
that lawyers are a pest win have a new
argument"

Count Tolstoi is not the first nobleman
that has been exiled from Russia because
of his politics. Prince Krapotkin, who is
related to the Emperor himself, is now
in this country, an exile because he has
lifted up his voice for a greater degree of
liberty in his country, and Siberia holds
many high-born men condemned to the
penal colony. The Punishment of Tolstoi,
however, is likely to have wider effect
than that of any other similar case of re-
cent years. He is the best known Rus
sian alive, and he stands close to the
common people, who to a certain extent
may be expected to make his cause
theirs. That his portrait was decorated
in St Petersburg at the art exhibition
shows that the people are thinking about
him. Russia's greatest menace at this
time appears to be. not Japan, but her
own common people.

The Rev. Thomas Douglas, pastor of
leading Presbyterian church in New York
discussed Christian Science in a sermon
the other day. He reached the conclusion
that Christian Science is 1.-THE most subtle
form of infdelity and frivolity in modern
times, and an abomination to be denounced
in most vigorous terms by every lover
of man and God" The preacher went on
to Illustrate how easy it was to disprove
the claims of the Christian Scientists.
They claim that sin, sickness and death
are decisions, and that there is no pain or
pleasure. But let one of them suddenly
sit down upon an upturned tack, and he
will perform an acrobatic feat equal to
anything seen at Barnums The simple
prick of a pin is logic enough for any
pody except a Christian Scientist"

Lieut.. Commander Roper, of the Petrol,
who was suffocated in the hold of his yes
sci the other day, will be remembered IN
the service as a hero and high type of
American naval officer. When the fire
was discovered in the sail room of the
Petrel which is situated deep down near
the magazine, 1t was known at once that
the danger 20 the ship and every man on
it was imminent. AS commanding officer
Roper might have remained on deck
and ordered his men below to fight the
fire. But he did not say go" What he
said was come" and he led the way.
The response was prompt There was no
Sinking and no cowardice in any quar-
ter Once Roper was forced back by the
sitting fumes, but one of his companions
an enlisted man, fell. Back rushed the
gallant commander 10 his rescue; in which
act he gave up his own life. The man
was saved, but the master persisted.
Roper's act was as brave and brilliant as
If he had gone down In the midst OF bat
tie leading an attack; and it deserves to
be recognized and rewarded as such. The
government has adopted the policy OF
naming IFS torpedo boats and destroyers
after it's naval heroes. One of the next
boats of the torpedo fleet christened
should be the Roper"

ExTRAyAGANCE OF CITIES

The growth in extravaganza of municI
ipal governments in this country is so
great that it is arresting the attention
of thinking men everywhere. The at
fairs of very few American cities are
managed on business principles. They
are managed with the view of making as
many places as possible for workers of
successful political factions.
There is bill now pending in the Legis-
lature of New York having for it's object
an investigation of the expenses of run
ming the government of New York city.
1t is not the purpose of this committee
to inquire into the question as to wheth-
er or not the laws against vice and crime
are enforced, or whether or not the Off
Gals are in sympathy with thugs and
thieves for the purpose of robbing citi-
zens. The aim of the investigation is to
find out if the salary list cannot be cut
down. 1t is the impression of well in
formed citizens that salaries to the
amount of 100000 annually could be
dispensed with without injury to the pub
lie service. There are officials who do
who do things for which there is no need.
The services of hundreds of place hold
ers are of no practical benefit whatever.
The places they hold were created in or
der that the party bosses might have
places with which to reward faithful
party workers.
1t is much easier to create offices than
to abolish them. And it is doubtful if
the committee of the New York Legisla-
ture will accomplish anything in the di-
rection of cutting expenses by getting rid
of useless officials and employees in New
York City. The influences which support
these place holders is too powerful to be
overcome by the Legislature.
And the same condition of affairs OBJ
tains in about every other city in the
country. Everywhere there are more Of
ficials living on the public than there is
any use for. The fact that in New York
City millions of dollars are annually paid
to employees for whose services there is
no need ought to set the people in every
city thinking. The situation may not be
so bad in the smaller cities, but if it
isn't the time isn't distant when it will be.
