The verdict in the Callahan Cudahy kid
mapping case, In Omaha, seems to show
that the employment of large sums of
money in the prosecution of criminal cases
may have the very opposite effect from
that intended: that instead of assisting IN
the visiting of justice upon criminals the
use of reward mones may defeat the ends
of justice. The evidence in the Callahan
case seems to have been so strong as to
convince the judge on the bench of the
mans guilt The judge was prepared to
receive "a verdict OF guilty but was as
tonished when the jury rendered an ac-
quiUtal. and did not hesitate to express
his disapproval. The impression got

their numbers they make city. The

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Times, Dem.) says:
"Babcock OF Wisconsin, Is a bull in the
High Tariff china shop. His latest dec
laration is that Congress will fall very
far short of it's duty IL 1t shall fail to
abolish duties on all articles controlled
by combinations that fix prices regard

longer in the slightest need of protection,
and he adds that he will move for the
removal of all such imposts when Con-
gress reasssembles next winter. He in
dicates iron and steel as horrible ex-
amples of this sort of thing. Now listen
for the gnashing of teeth that may be

The Columbia Is. CO State says: "The
sweetest singer of the. South at the pres
ent day is" whom would you suppose.
considering the fact that the state is
published upon the banks OF the Congs-
rec, and within thirty minutes ride of
Shandon, both of which have been sung
in purely original verse of local origin?
Is il not the part of civic pride to stick
up for home talent in poesy as well as
home advantages for cotton mills? While
we agree with the State that an
Albanian is the sweetest singer of the
South to-day, il will be borne in mind
that We have no local sweet singer who is
in the same class with the Bard of the
Congaree. II we had, eve wouldn't turn
him down for even Rudyard Kipling; who,
by the way is something of a purely
original poet himself.

In the Scientific American of De-
cember 10 there appeared an article on
the subject Of Shooting at the Clouds"
It seems that in France, Italy, Ger
many and Austria they have a system
Of cloud shooting with canon to pre-
vent hailstorms, and, according to the
report, the operation is eminently
successful. The shooting is done in
the still, calm period preceding the
damaging storms. The conclusions
start small, upward whirlwinds which
prevent the formation Of those heavy,
damaging haiIstorms.

1t has finally come out, since the
queens death, that Victoria was op-
posed to the war against the Beers,
but was overruled by the British min
istry. For months the old lady wept,
indeed, she literally cried her eyes out
and worried herself to death And well
she might, for it is a horrible piece of
business which the conscience and
sober sense Of the world condemns.
But Americans have to be dumb, for
McKinley's war on the FiIipinos was
a worse piece Of baseness and bad faith.
In both cases a sOrdid commercialism
and criminal greed dictated the diaboI-
zeal policy. The South African war
threatens to be the beginning of the
downfall Of British supremacy; and
the militaryism and imperialism ofthe
Philippine policy threatens the over
throw Of republican institutions in
the United States.

Horses For south Africa.

New Orleans advises say that the
first shipment Of the $1,000 more
horses ord cred by the British govern
ment has just been made. The British
army went to South Africa with no.
/ 600 horses and mules. Since the be-
ginning of the BOer- war Great Britain
has purchased in the United States
over 100000 horses and mules, which
we're carried from New Orleans to
South Africa in sixty-five ships. The
order referred to above is supplement-
al A writer in The Chicago Inter
Ocean is authority for the statement
that by the time the horses and mules
are landed in South Africa they have
cost the British government $3.50 a
head. This includes loses at sea
about thirty-twO head to the thousand
and all the expenses of the voyage.
The hay, corn, and other forage for the
horses on the voyage must be purchas-
ed, of course, in the United States, and
in this way the Bosr war has put many
dollar into the pockets of American
farmers.
The horse is good for only about six
weeks hard service in South Africa.
As it is proposed to give Baden-POwell
$4,000 mounted police and to mount
$1,000 of the imperial infantry, and as
the Beers are forcing hard usage of
cavalry horses, the demand for Ameri-
can animals is likely to continue.
During the civil war the United
States government purchased on an
average 500 horses and mules every
day, or 1825OO year. In the last ten
months Of the war the government
purchased 20,7I4 artillery horses, s.
818 mules, and 1862 cavalry horses
During the war the government pur-
chased for horses and mules 23OOOO 600
bushels of corn, 100000 bushels of
oats, and 100000 tons of hay. All
this came from the farms Of the north.

Heroic stun.


The pioneers of Kentucky-the great
Indian battleground-were men, wo-
men and children alike, made of heroic
stuff. The annals of the state abound
in deeds of heroism. In kentucky
Sketches" Mr.. Lewis Collins relates an
instance of bOyish fortitude
In the year 1871 Capt Hubbell, with
party of twenty men, women and
children, started down the Ohio river in
a aatboat destined for Limestone, Ky.
Twice the little party was attacked by
large bodies Of Indians from the shore
Several of the men were killed, and
the little band of pioneers were in dan
ger of determination. Fortunately the
current of the river bore the boat into
midstream beyond the range of the
redskin bullets.
When the danger was past, a little
son of Mr.. Plascut went up to the cap
tain, and with great GOODNESS asked
him to take a bullet out Of his fore
head.
"Why, Tommy, what's this?" said
Capt. Hdbbell, as he saw the boys
bloody face.
Examination showed that a bullet
had passed through the side Of the
boat, penetrated the forehead Of the
young hero, and remained under the
skin.
Tommy did not utter q sound as the
captain with the point of his knife cut
a hole in the skin and pressed the bull
let out.
@YO1're a brave one, Tommy" the
captain said
sThat isn't ali" said the boy; and
raising his arm, he revealed a peiee Of
bone at the point Of his elbow, which
had been shot of and hung only by the
skin.
"Why, Tommy, Why, didn't you tell
me of this?" cried his mother, at sight
Of che bleeding arm.

The cadets have come down off their
high horse and volunteered to abandon
the custom. This was the only manly

to abandon the practice the hazing of

Well, the notorious J. R. Burton, of
Kansas, is United States senator. 1t is
none of our kettle of fish. He does
not represent either the intelligence,
integrity, the common honesty or de-
cency of the people of Kansas. He is
a misfit, but represents the unscru-
pulous element of his party. His course
will be watched very closely, and, if
his professions of reform prove gen
uine, the people will be inclined to
forgive and forget the past.

leaves President Mckinley under the
suspicion Of a deliberate attempt to
