Political Scandal in Gotham.

New York Tribune
There is a book store in Fifth avenue,
near Twenty-third street, which makes a
speciality of religious books. 1t is a quiet,
conservative house which has never in
dred thousand editions, confnin itself to
satisfying the aesthetic and literary needs
OF the confirmed bibliophile. And yet, de-
spite its tradition, this same house has
contributed to the scandal of the present
campaign. a few weeks ago the firm started
Sunday-school work, each page having
some text engraved on it. Every morning
IL was the duty Of the Office boy to turn
over a page on the sample chart in the
front window and show a fresh text.
One morning last week the attention Of
the head of the firm was called 10 the
curious crowd constantly congregating in
front of the store window. 1t was not the
sort OF crowd that ordinarily pauseS be-
fore the window OF d store which makes

INDIANA EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Democrats of Indiana will hold their
5O-cent powwow at Franklin on the night
Of Nov. 3. The attorney general OF the
State should be notified of this threatened
waste Of gas.-Columbus Republican.
The attention of the managers of the
Doxey Hotel, at Anderson, is respectfully
cited to the fact that Booker T. Wash
ington recently dined with the President
Of the United States.-New Castle Courier.
Vigo county is to make an investment OF
$4,000 in voting machines. With the Aus
tralian system and the voting machine in
use an American citizen ought to be able
TO vote as he pleases and feel assured that
his ballot would be counted as he cast it.
-Terre Haute Tribune.
In a few years the city that is without
interurban railroads will be but the grave
yard of business. Fort Wayne does not
want to branch out i'm the cemetery line
and will have interurban railroads. They
are coming and the people will not permit
them to be kept out.-Fort Wayne Sen
tinsl.
The Judge and jury trying Caleb Powers
in Kentucky were able to land their VIC
tim in the penitentiary for life. No greater
offense against justice was ever perpetrated
in this country. And yet there are citizens
in this State who demand that Governor
Durbin shall relinquish other victims TO the
wrath of the Kentucky vendetta.-Hunting-
ton Herald.
The county Of Vigo appropriated money
to buy thirty voting machines for use in
the next election. That is the proper thing,
and it would be fortunate if every county
in the State would do likewise. The voting
machine is the means to secure purity of
the ballot and will prove a great aid in
eliminating the ~purchasable vote. Mar

war. More than this. the provisions of the
proposed treaty are a practical recognition
OF the Monroe doctrine by Great Britain so
far as it applies to the isthmus. Such an
admission by Great Britain is important
just now, when German newspapers are
railing against the Monroe doctrine. II
should be remembered, however, that a
British minister, before the Monroe doctrine
was announced, suggested it to this govern
ment because. at that time, such a declara-

The Presidents Turkey.

Ladies Home Journal.
Following the precedent of almost thirty
Thanksgiving days, Horace Vose, Of West
erly, R. l., will send the prize turkey of all
his hocks to grace the new Presidents din
rer table on Nov. IS. When Mr.. Vose be-
gan the custom of sending a turkey TO the
President he had no motive other than the
desire to send a Thanksgiving bird to the
man who writes the Thanksgiving procla-
nations. The pioneer turkey went to Pres
ident Grant in 1873. 1t weighed thirty-six
pounds and elected the first of the courte-
Gus notes that have been coming ever since
in acknowledgment from the executive
mansion. Mr.. Vose has been dubbed the
turkey king" All through the summer and
fall he makes occasional visits to the farms
in the vicinity, keeping a watchful eye on
the many hocks and eagerly scanning the
strutting companies for the coming cham
pion, the distinguished member of all the
feathery tribes that is to rise eventually to
the dignity of a place on the White House
dinner table.

Croker rs N Prophet.

L. J.. Lang, in Leslie's Monthly.
So skiTful and accurate is the work Of his
expert deputies that Mr.. Cookers election
forecasts since he assumed the leadership
have been marvelously correct. In 1882, for
instance. he predicted that Grover Cleve-
lands plurality for President in New York
county would be at least 5000. II was
$500. The same year he prophesied that
Thomas +. Gilroy would defeat Edward
Finstein for mayor by 5000. Gilroy's plu-
raIty was 1851. In 1897 Cookers p%rognos-
tication was that Robert \. Van Wyck
would run first, Seth Low second. Benja-
min r. Tracy third and Henry George
fourth in the mayOralty race. The candi-
dates finished I'm the order named. Croker
said also that Van Wyck would poll 5000
more votes than LOW. Van Wyck's plural

tenacious military clique in Washington by
compelling a constant interchange between
the staff and the line.

Secretary C~OrteIyOu.
November Success.

November success.
Mr.. CortelyOu worked his way to his pres
ent high position through sheer ability and
determination. He is still a young man,
under forty years of age, and his success
may be regarded as an indication of a still
more progressive and brilliant career in the
future. He began as a s~tenographer, and.
as a court reporter, was considered one Of
the most rapid and accurate i'm the country.
In 1891 he became private secretary to the
fourth assistant postmaster general. To-
ward the close of the Cleveland administra-
ton he was transferred 10 the White
House. He was for several months a
stenographer to the President, and was
then appointed executive clerk, which posi-
ton he held until the beginning of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's second term, when he was made
private secretary.
While in Washington Mr.. Cortelyou i'm
proved his spare time in the study of law.
and in 1895 was graduated from the George
town University Law School. The follow
ing year he took a postgraduate course in
the Columbian University.

Nebraska State Journal.
An Indiana railroad, the Southeastern"
running from Muncie TO Brazil, being un-
able to pay its workmen, the officers have
turned the road over TO the employees. who
have organized a cooperative association
TO run it for their mutual benefit. Accord
ing 10 the terms of the agreement. the road
will be managed by the orkm until its
profits have been sufficient to pay the back
wages i'm full. Then they are to turn il
back to the owners. The old officers. per
haps, expect to learn enough about run
ming railroads by watching the boys while
they are putting things down TO q business
basis so that when they take il back they
can make ii pay expenses. This is the first
time a cooperative railroad was ever in
operation, and the experiment will be
matched with great interest.
