Newspaper Publicity.

N. O. Picayune.
 From time to time somebody thinks 1t is incumbent on him to denounce the
 public press for reporting crimes and criminal trials.
 The inordinately pious people who thlnk
 that a newspaper should be nlleo Wlln accounts of charities and benefactions
 but should never say word concerning
 the crimes, the poverty, the vice ana misery that make charity and benefac- tion necessary, are as foolish as wouio be the painter who should try to make a picture all light. with no shadows. The
 only object which casts no shadow Is a perfectly transparent sheet of glass or crystal. But in human life there is found
 no individual whose mind. and heart are so absolutely free from guile as to De willing to have every phase of their ex-
 istence laid open to the world
 It has been said that man, in his hrSt
 state of supposed innocence, when he was admitted to communion with the celestial Gods had no need of speech, because his face expressed truly every thought of his
 mind and impulse of his heart. lie was spiritually transparent, with nothing to conceal and no other desire than 10 pc
 fully understood for what he was. The time came, however when he committed acts which, so far from desiring to have
 known, he sought to hide from all ob- SCI lVation, because of the condemnation or contempt such exposure would bring
 upon him. Then came the necessity for hardening his face" so that it would not betray either his guilt or his trepi- dc tion. When he had for a long time
 persevered in this policy of concealing his thoughts, it became necessary to re-
 sort to other means of communication, and thus was developed speech which, q professional prevaricator like Talleyrand declared was the real means of conceal ing thought | It thus comes about that the honest and reputable press. by exposing crime and vice and misery of every description be- | comes a great conserVator of morals and a censor of manners. Without douot
 many things are printed in the papers | in judging of what shall be told and
 what kept back for the public good, the | press cannot always be entirely correct. | But in the main they desire to print only | what is true and what will make for the 1 public good. People engrossed in theiI l own business give but little consideration | to anything in public affairs that doe:
 not immediately concern them, and but l for the press they would never be l aroused to the enormity of crimes and | abuses Without a free press to put into constant practice the right of free 1 speech. the guarantees of the Fedora | Constitution would soon grow into disuse
 and finally be suppressed. Until men posture, publicity will be the weapon of | public order as it Is also of private re- | venge on the part of the interruptions
 and the characterless who desire noth- | ing better than to drag down others tc 1 their own degraded depths.
 | Nevertheless there can be no gooc ! without it's attendant drawbacks, an( | mankind must expect some suffering
 along with the benefits they enjoy.

UP IN MAINE.
S3,OOO, ,oOo Candidate Will Fight TOT
 Repeal of Prohibition.

Augusta, Me, Special to N. Y. Journal.
 An announcement by State Senator r. O. Vickery. the wealthy Augusta pup, fisher. and father-in-law of Governor Hlii tonight created some excitement among politicians. For many years MT. Vickery and Joseph H. Manley. member or the Republican National Executive Commit tee have been bitter political enemies.
 MT. Vickery tonight declared that license law for Maine is better than the 'iniquitious system now in vogue lie says:
 II believe that the time is come when the State of Maine should be eliminated from the thraldom under which 1t has labored since the passage Of the prohipl- tory law under the guidance of the late Neil Dow. I believe in temperance In eating and drinking and no man can say that I was ever an imbiber or intoxi- cants, but the way that 1t looks to me. under this perfidious system of low license is that Maine is looked upon by the other States of the Union as laugh ing stock
 For the past few months seven mur- ders have occurred in this State. all of which have been due to liquor. bought at country drug stores and by the bottle. If the State of Maine should license sa- looms I think that the moral attitude of the people would be better"
 Mir. Vickery stated to The Journal cor respondent that he would spend one hail million dollars for the purpose of be- ing elected Governor of Maine. He is considered to be worth $3OOO.OOO.

"Prediction Justified"

St. Louis Republic Dem)
 In expressing the opinion that the next Presidential nominee of the Democratic rarty will be a Missouri man, Secretary walsh, of the National Democratic Com rnittee, also voices the views of many other thoughtful Democrats who have carefully studied existing party condi- tions
 The logic of the present situation. the wisdom of choosing Missourian becomes immediately apparent. The State which has stood most steadfast to the Demo- cratic faith, the State which offers as a Presidential choice the best Democratic material in the Union, the State in which the Republican party Wilf ,oD1 make a @ sn- tainly and with vital advantage to the party furnish that party's candidacy for
 Secretary Walsh of the National Demo- cratic. Committee. proves himself clear sighted political student In thus pointing out the Likelihood of a Missourian being nominated for President in 1904. There is no stronger probability now visible ill the political outlook. The logic of events promises to verify the Walsh prediction.

The Owner of the Worlds Rarest
 Gem.
 New York telegram to St. Louis Globe
 Democrat.
 It Is learned today that the big blue diamond, the importation of which was announced by the custom authorities here on Thursday, was the property of J.. Diecer & Son, of 5e2 Fifth Avenue. The gem weighs twenty-two and one-half carats cut, and is of extraordinary bril- liancy and perfection of form. The blue is the most precious color in diamonds next to the ruby red, only one specimen of which has ever been found. The ne- gotiations for the purchase of the one now in this city, and which is the only | one in the market anywhere in the world. have been going on for several years. but just where they were begun or con- cluded can not be learned.
 The diamond is tentatively valued at $10OOOO. The gem is of marquise shape, and is cut in the modern style. It has about one hundred facets. Nothing like 1t has ever been seen in this country be- fore. H. w. James, the gem expert of | Diecer & Son. said today: we believe | that we have the rarest thing in dia monds in this or any other country. ex- | cept England, where the Hope diamond is supposed to be, but we do not care tC go into particulars as to how we came | by it."

Nebuchadnezzar's Throneroom.

The German Oriental society confirms the reports to the effect that pr. Koldewey has succeeded in discovering Nebuchadnezzar' s throneroom at Babylon. It is a gigantic build ing about 60 feet wide by 50 feet long. Exactly opposite the door is the niche in which once the royal throne stood, and on both sides and on the northern front of the hall are richly colored ornaments fin good preserva- lion which will doubtless prove of the high est historical and artistic importance. The German expedition has also begun excava- lions in the city of Babylon, near the pres ent village of Jumjuma, and has already dis covered a goodly number of inscribed clay tablets which, according to the testimony of dition. contains letters psalms and vocabu- Iaries They are, therefore, all documents of tha deenest interest and specially calcu- lated to further the study of the Old Testa- nent.

SQUIRRELS THAT CAN'T CLIMB
Born in Box, They Run Away from

 The Zoo is in possession of two squirrels which don't know how to climb tree. Most people would become skeptical If they were told that there were squirrels two years old which could not so up a tree fast that the eye could not follow thems But its true nev- ertheless.
 Nearly two years ago. one Sunday no n;ng. two little gray squirrels made their appear ance at the Zoo. Their mother 1ad made a nest for them in the cozy corner of box al lotted to her to live in. After the sq lirrels grew up they continued to live n the box Every day they got little fresh air 5v going into an open part of the pen, but there were no trees for them to climb and no nuts to store away for Winter. This affected the mother sorely for she knew her sons should learn to climb.
 Yesterday Keeper Jack Lover ;:lavad all the squirrels to warm place for Winter. Among them these two little squirrels.
 Let's see if they can climb, sail Keeper Lover to himself as he put them at the base of a large tree. The squirrels looked at the tree and then appealingly at he leeper. Lover picked one up and put 1t on the tree about three feet from the ground. It trembled with fright and whined in its peculiar way. The other scampered of across the vacant space. but caught a few minutes later
 Its a shame" said Lover to himself, as he took them to their home.

No Tax Reduction Probable.

SaVanndh NtWb =,
 There are tariff taxes which ought to be reduced. They are not needed for the protection of any interest. They simply enable the trusts to charge hlgher prices in the home market than they get in foreign markets. The Republican, party. however, is the friend of trusts, and as long as it can assist them 1t will do so. No tariff legislation need be expected from this Congress.

~ EPORTS of committees and action
upon bills marked the day in the
IN Senate and it was not until the
afternoon session that anything
of particular interest turned up. While
not entirely unexpected, the action of
Senator Cecil Brown in resigning from
further duty on the judiciary commit
tee took the Senate by surprise, as did
also the immediate acceptance of his
resignation by the chair and the APP
pointment of Senator Achi to fill the
vacancy thus created.
The first work in the morning to come
before the body was the report of the
ways and means committee by Senator
Kanuha, relative to Senate bill No. 5,
concerning the biennial fiscal period of
the Territory of Hawaii Cecil Brown
moved that it be adopted and the same
was ordered typewriter and will be
read for the third time today.
Senator White rendered "a report for
the judiciary committee as follows:
The majority of the judiciary com
mittee, to whom Senate bill No. l was
referred, beg to report that they have
carefully examined same and recon-
mend that the bill do not pass. The bill
one being the fact that five of the ma
jority party of the Senate would be
appointed to terms of only TWO years,
While only two of the minority party
would receive appointments for a like
period. The Organic Act provides that
the details of appointments shall be
provided by the Legislature, and the
majority of the committee think that
it would be best to follow the plan
which prevailed in the Legislatures of
the several States in regard to the cleo
ton of United States Senators.
I'VE do therefore recommend a con-
current resolution providing, for joint
session of the two Houses of this Legis-
lature and the election by the members
Thereof in such joint session of eight
Senators who shall hold their offices for
the term of four years.
Considerable discussion followed the
reading of this report and Senator
Baldwin moved to lay the report on the
table. Cecil Brown, the minority mem
