SUNSHINE.

SUNSHINE. who loves justice
and truth better
than Charles F. Lummis of the Gland
Of Sunshine" loves those everlasting
principles, THE CONSERVATIVE has never
heard of him. In the February number
of his magazine aforenamed Mr.. Lum-
Professor Ross, now in the University
of Nebraska, and incidentally of
Professor Howard as follows:
"The case of Professor Ross was truly
and very mildly-set forth in these
pages two months
Found His Level. ago. Meantime
Professor Ross has
found his place. President Andrews
whose familiar career naturally
gives him fellow-feeling, has
created position for him in the Uni
versity Of Nebraska. There he will
doubtless be absolutely free. He
need not be pursued; but little more
must be said of him for necessary light
upon the sequel.
"In the first Bryan campaign four
years ago, Professor Ross was not only
a loud partisan of
Matters of Taste. Bryan. He pub
lished a campaign
book of very much the caliber, good
taste and common sense of Coin
Harvey's notorious production. 1t
was entitled An Honest Dollar; and
was not from plain Ross, but BY Ed
ward A. Ross, Professor of Economics
in the Leland Stanford, Jr. University
That is, he used his place to give him
weight he had not; and made nom
sectarian, non. partisan, dignified univer-
sity forcible and unconsulted partner in
his unbaked, slangy, and essentially
vulgar deliverance, illustrated with
chopping- block cuts of famished labor
ing men and fat bankers. The whole
production would have better fitted a
worker in the Salvation Army than
professor of anything anywhere. It
outraged all persons of taste who saw it;
and among them Mrs. Stanford. 1t was
an offence to manners and balance.
Questions of party did not enter. That
this is true is sufficiently proved by the
well-known fact that in the campaign
just ended President Jordan himself
was strongly against the Administra-
tion's foreign policy, and spoke out more
freely, more manfully and more effec-
lively than any other college president
in America. A humor of the case is
that the newspapers which tried in their
little way to get Mrs. Stanford to silence
or behead him for this freedom of speech,
are loudest IN their lamentations over

A telegram 10 the pope.

An amusing story is going the
rounds of journalistic circles in Rome
1t appears that OH the occasion of
President AIcKinlcy's death the Eu-
ropean editor of well-known tele-
graphic agency, closely connected with
a leading New York yellow journal,
sent the following telegram from Lon
don: Ills Holiness Pope Plus IN,
Vatican, Rome. Kindly tell us your
opinion about President McKinley's
assassination.' 1t was no doubt II
"lasus calalni'' on the part of the
hnlTasSc1l and Ovcr-wOrked London
editor, but the telegraph employees,
whether dcsirous of giving the too
cntcrprising journalist lesson, or of
having Il joke at his expense, simply
wired back to London the StcrcOtypcd
phrase: "Unknown ut this address,"
Yellow journals, especially Atlantic
ones, appear to think that nothing is
easier for a Roman correspondent
than to walk up to the Pope's private
apartments ana interview his HOli-
ness, often on the most trining sub
jects. Inscriptions correspondents
thus indirectly tend to encourage this
mistaken idea. as they invariably
manufacture imaginary interviews
with the most exalted pcrsonagcs in
response to the cXtr;,vagant instruc-
tioDs which they receive from their
ignorant editors. The sooner it is un-
derstOOd in New York editorial Offices
that to solicit the P"pc's opinion on
everyday topics means throwing away
telegraph fccs,-anl that to address
his Holiness directly, in a curt profess
sional manner, represents a gross
breach, not only of etiquette, but of
the most elementary good manners
the better for everybody concerned,
for truth, for the press, and for the
public.

Ingratitude 10 Lemly,

Champ Clark, the noted Missouri
orator, has the following to say about
the Schley court of inquiry:
Captain Lemly, Schley's prosecutor
before the court, was one of six sur.
vivors Of the Greeley expedition. These
six were snatched from the very portal
Of death by this same Schley, gallant
sailor and gentleman. When Schley
reached them, standing his watch for
twenty hours out of twenty four in
the crows nest of his vessel, eating
cold grub passed up on a ropes end.

earlier in the spring than any man had

In his argument before Judge
Hancry in the Chicago American
contempt ease, Ex-Governor John T..
Altgcld said: '"Tllc publication of an
untruth hurts nobody. 1t is the publ
cation of the truth that hurts. No
matter what has been done by the
press in the past, no matter If gov
crnors, presidents and Judges have

that If we had to choose between IL

simply be choosing between the GUS
toms that prevail in the United States
and in Russia" Yes, or the customs
that prevail in Ireland under the des-
potic government of Dublin Castle.
An Irish editor was sent to jail for
six months for criticizing judge who
is packing juries for the conviction of
Irish Nationalists. Judge Hanccy and
others of his ilk do not want a free
press in the United States. Will they
be permitted to muZzle it?

The latter was rightly believed to in
clude the former. Hence the church
was the peoples llan, uhe center round
which the life of the town revolved.
Its doors were always open for prayer,
or meditation. 1t was the earliest play
house; a cool resting place; a museum
of art; the House of God in the full
and not the marrow commercial sense
of the word. Around it's wallis the mar
ket people carried ON their trade, and
its silent finger pointing to heaven, was
a landmark and consolation to the lone
ly peasant oh his distant farm.
To the people generally, of whatever
denomination, these churches belong.
Let us make more use of them than we
have done hitherto.
We, in conclusion, earnestly trust
that the world will not Judge England
by the horrible people, in clerical or
lay costume, Who have been applaud
ing the greatest crime Of the century.
Even yet we find from pulpit and press
references to the war so full of inhll-
mainly as to make us doubt of the ex-
istence of a just God. The Episcopal
dean of st. Johns church, Perth, gave
vent the other day to the following ut
terancc on the war against the indie
pendence Of the Dutch republics.
"These maxims and smashing shells
are ruled by the hand that rules the
forces Of nature and the sword Of ar-
mics is the sword of God! Combatants
fall thick. but not too thick for the
least and hllmblest to be excluded from
the care of Him without whose knowl-
edge not even a sparrow dies! The
sword of the Lord hath charge in
South Africa-it lis working out Gods
purpose for equal justice between man
and man; for the love Of Christ to reach
the dim millions of the Dark Continent
in larger measure. The blood Of our
brave soldiers is the seed Of the church!
When the charge OF the sword is full
filled, yet another step will have been
gained towards that 'one far-off Divine
event to which the whole congregation
turns"
And what shall we say to the follow
ing from the Brisbane Courier, pub
lished in one of the Australian states,
which has sent it's unemployed at spe-
cial wages to South Africa, yet refuses
to contribute a penny towards the cost
of the war: ut is time that what is
little better than a man hunt should be
carried out ON hunting principles and
that the troops actually employed be
fit for the work."
So says the leading lingo organ in
Queensland country where slavery
is in full swing; whose finances are a1-
most bankrupt; whose system Of gov
eminent excludes the greater part of
the population from the franchise, and
has put power for many years In the
hands of an ignorant and corrupt Tory
gang.
Against these excesses the better
heart of England protests. England is
more Christian than her clerics; more
humane than her classes; more just
than her governors. In the end both
her policy and inclination will see that
right is done. But the crime of the
oligarchy who rule our affairs at pres
ent will remain memorialized in the

A Woman Without Headaches.
There are, probably. few other women
in this country as busy as Mrs. S. I.
Rorer, the famous cook, or few who
earn as much money. Besides her edi-
torial work for the Ladies', Home Jour
nal. which involves answering several
thousand letters each year. she conducts
= big cooking school in Philadelpha,
and lectures almost constantly during
the season, travelling through all sec
tions OF the country. Mrs. Rorer has
never had headache, she Is never ILL.,,

best example one could have Of her the
cries as to the right way to live.

feeble effort to express admiration
for the speech of President MADAM
Mohan Malavayya at native con-

His speech is as mellifiuous as his

but thin. not dark. dressed in pure
white. with white robe which goes
round his shoulders and ends down

He stands slanting forward, admira-

His speeches are full of pel.ucid and
sparkling statements and his rolling
and interminnble sentences travel ont

usually caused when they nre laid
down mt night on Il chilly marble table

morning the watch is i'll, and begins
to lose time. The reason is that the
sudden chill has caused parts of the
mechanism to contract ana so made

watches have constitutions that will
withstand rapid changes OF tempera-
ture. Every one has had Il watch sud

so on again when slightly shaken. This
may not happen once in II year, hut all
watches are liable to such an accident.
This is due to the catching of the deli

the spring is in position to catch, so
that the chances of such an accident are
