KodOI Natures Tonic,

CocIsntoOs and wild Pigeons DO Not
Seem To Mind IA.
"In 1881. while resident on Gazelle
peninsula. the northern portion OF the
magnificent island OF New Britain, I'm
the south Pacific. / had many oppor-
tuniues OF witnessing both cockatoOs
and Wild pigeons drinking salt water.

baira, the then Tarthest out trading
station on the whole island, and as
had but little work to do found
plenty OF time 10 study bird life I'm the
vicinity. Parrots OF several varieties.
all Of beautiful plumage, were plenti-
full and great nocks OF white cocka-
t-os frequented the rolling, grassy
downs which lay between my home
and the German head station I'm
Blanche bay. twenty miles distant,
while the heavy frost OF the littoral
WAS the haunt of thousands Of pigeons.
These pigeons, though not SO large as
the Samoan or eastern Polynesian bird.
formed an agreeable change OF diet for
us white traders, and 10y walking about
fifty yards from ones door half
dozen or more could be shot in as
many minutes.
MY nearest neighbor was q German,
and one day when we were walking
along the beach toward his station
noticed some hundreds OF pigeons fly
down from the forest, settle on the
margin of the water and drink with
/ apparent enjoyment. The harbor AT
this spot being almost landlcckcd and
the water as smooth MS glass and with.
out the faintest ripple. the birds were
enabled TO drink without wetting their
plumage- My neighbor, who had lived
many years In New Britain, told me
that this drinking of sea water was
common TO both cOckatoOs and pigeons
alike. and that on some occasions the
beaches would be lined with them. the
cockatoos not only drinking, but bath

REPUBLICAN PRosPERITYA
Row the wagcworkers Tn Two m
dustrles Got Their Shnrn

Row the Wagcworkers In Two IN
dustrtes Got Their share.
Two census bulletins on manufac-
lures, just issued. one on carriages and
wagons and the other ON typewriters,
@ not indicate such a surplus reserve
prosperity that the Republicans can
safely rely upon II to win victories for
them at the coming election.
In the carriage and wagon industry
there was a decrease OF s per cent I'm
average wages from 1890 to 1900. the
wages In 1900 being $1.59 a day for
the 62,o4O earners. AS the cost of liy-
ing Increased q per cent from 1890 to
leUO. the real wages OF these workers
declined about - per cent. That means
that to be as well OF In 1900 as they
were In 1870 these carriage and wagon
makers should have received SITS a
! day In 1900 instead OF only $3.50. The
/ difference helps to swell the profits OF
the manufacturers, for the value OF
the product was IS per cent more In
1900 than In 1890.
In the typewriter industry average
wages decreased Z per cent from 1890
to 1900. The value OF the product in
creased 81 per cent and the capital
employed 400 per cent. or from 81, 521,.
1913 In 1890 to $S40O,431 In 1900. AS
one OF these concerns, the Union Type
writer company. has an outstanding
capital of $1S.00O.0 900, which is selling
at 1873, we can form an idea of the
very great profits and the percentage
OF water In the capital of the typewrit-
er industry and Of the great econo-
mics Of trusts" for the trust was form
ed In 1893.
1t is probable that there was no such
increase In actual capital employed as
the government statistics indicate and
that $5.OO0.OOO will cover everything.
including the expensive selling offices
In this and foreign countries. and that
hve-sixths Of the capital of the scores
OF typewriter companies is water. IL
the market value OF the stock be con-
sidered, the percentage OF water is
still greater
Information In the Democratic cam
paign book indicates that the cost Of
making a standard typewriter is $14;
that II costs $25 more to put II on the
market; that these machines are sold
In foreign countries at from sos to
$G5 each, the total value OF the exports
in 1902 being $3.3O0.OOO: that they are
sold I'm this country at 500 each.
The typewriter industry was orig
inally patent monopoly. At present
many OF the fundamental patents have
expired, and the leading manufactur-
ers have combined TO prevent competi-
ton inside our tariff walls; hence this
is now a tariff trust more than patent
monopoly Take the tariff OF 40 per
cent away from this trust. and the best
Of typewriters would soon sell here for
$50 or SEQ and probably for half these
figures, the fancy dividends on highly
watered stock would disappear and
soon the trust-for II Is trust even
I'm the legal sense OF the word-would
soon have TO be reorganized with the
water on the outside.
The tariff is great for trusts. watered
capital, big dividends and millionaires.
The high tariff party knows where to
go for campaign funds.

Paducah and the Prince .

The Hon. CHARLES KENNEDY WHEEL
Err, n Paducah Democrat, is the Rep
resentative in Congress of the First
Kentucky district. We don't believe
that he represented his constituents
when he made his boorish and braying
speech in abuse of the Administration
and Prince Henry. The people Of
Kentucky jistly pride themselves upon
their hospitality. They are incapable Of
insulting a guest or of falling short in
courtesy to a guest. 1t is safe TO leave
Mr.. WHEELER to their judgment, As for
the Democrats who %applauded him, what
can be said except that Fate is humor-
Gus and sometimes sends TO Congress
men who would be much more appropri-
atelv bestowed in an idiot asylum?
Probably Mr.. WHEELER and his fellow
OATS think, so far IA such inferior organ
~izations can be said TO think, that their
districts will like them for splitting at n
coming guest and at a friendly people.
So feeble and perverted is the intelligence
Of some demagogues. They believe that
there is something peculiarly American
and patriotic in yapping at foreign coun-
tries and rulers. What do we care about
the good will of the German people,
asks the sapient WHEELER. Such SUIT
tering jobbcrnowls disgrace them
selves but they cannot disgrace the
country. Every country is entitled TO
a certain percentage Of fools. As for
the manners Of WHEELER and his APP
plauders, old Capt. DAMPIER's phrase
about certain other savagcs hits them
of perfectly: They have no manners
and their ustom are beastly.'
According 10 the Congressional Di-
rectory WHEELER is a graduate of the
Southwestern University and the Leba-
non Law School. This brings TO mind
that boiling youth at the University of
Virginia who wrote to GEORGE ID. PREM
TICE Just before the war to stop his
" damned abolition sheet Il am
sorry" said the distinguished editor
in reply. that any man should 60 to
the University Of Virginia to graduate
n traitor and a blackguard and so ig-
norant as TO spell abolition with two
bis" And we are sorry that a man
should 20 TO a college and n law school
and still be capable of making a speech
so intolerably asinine as the one which
the Hon. CHARLES KENNEDY WHEELER
made last Friday.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1902-02-16

part pronounced In some parts OF
the United States and silent In others,
should both be recorded in the diction-
airy till one sound suppresses the other.
Among the changes that will be diff
cult TO note are those Of initial and final
sounds in the flow Of speech, for instance.
" this year which we actually pro-
nounce thishyer,' that year '
. thachyer," don't you donchye,'
= a great deal a gray deal ' and so
forth. No dict onary suggests these
pronunciations, yet no English-speak-
ing person p~ronounces these phrases
otherwise and the sounds are right, not
because they are in accordance with
pathological law but because they are
in accordance with good usage. Some
~colloquial uses are doubtless vulgar,
but a great many are perfectly good.
On spelling Prof. SHELDON barely
touched, yet what he did say was OPP
posed TO the ordinary opinion favoring
retention Of the old forms. " Etymolog-
ical spelling inevitably hampers the
student OF linguistics more or less be-
cause ii gives no hint Of the actual
changes through which the language
has passed in the last centuries; IL
ignores, or rather IL conceals, a great
Iart Of the history OF the language
The idea is thst language Is a living
growth, an utterance from the mouth
rather than a writing down with the
pen, and that the searcher In phonetics
will he surer TO ascertain the real facts
about IL than the nan who accepts
couventionalized signs having little re-
gard TO sounds.
So modern science shakes faith In
the old palladiums, The dictionary
is good enough authority, If you can
find no better. The grammar and the
spelling book will do for schoolboys.
The educated man must trust to his
own reading, his own experience. Lam
guage is a living, growing, therefore
ever changing organism, and the words
and pronunciation that were good in
our youth may have changed before we
reach old age. IL a do no harm 10
know hat our n%eighbors probably speak
as good English as we do and that it is
only the uneducated who are cock sure
and appeal to the dictionary; scholars
accept the English tongue in the form
they find it.

The Durgomaster OF Hoboken.

The call which Rear Admiral the
Count o BAUDIssIN made last Friday
upon Mayor LANKERISo Of Hoboken was
an eminently successful social event.
rs might have been expected. There
was an effective contrast between the
splendor Of the Admiral, his aide,
Count Won H~AUXTHAUsEN. and an Or
derby de lure in all their majesty Of
bright uniform, and the elegant sim
plicity OF Mayor LANKERING and Presi-
dent OMAN Of the Tax Board in their
frock coats OF the ample Hobokenese
cut. The Chief OF Police who with the
President OF the Tax Board helped the
Mayor receive, looked sufficiently mill
tary and official for three, even if his
uniform was several diameters less
aureate than those OF the guests. Early
in the day the Mayor had left he cigar
store where he t~ransacts his unofficial
business. If there was any odor OF
the sovereign herb about him, it was
too faint to be detected, especially in
Hoboken, where everybody smokes.
A roll-top desk to the back OF him; a
small table to the side Of him, the Presi-
lent of the Tax Board one side of il,
the Chief by the other, the Mayor waited
the illustrious visit, conscious that the
grouping and general tableau effect
could not be improved upon.
Only one pertinent criticism OF the
scenery can be made. On the little
table stood a big pink-and-white pitcher
