UNCLE SAM A BUSINESS MAN.
He Has an Army of Commercial

He Has an Army of Commercial
Travellers. Who Peer Into All Sorts
of Queer Places.
Your Uncle Sam really is not merely
that vague thing-a government. He
takes his profession very seriously,
indeed, and he carries on his Shout
ders all the business cares of millions
of persons.
He has two business managers Their
titles are Secretary of the Treasury
and Secretary of State. Many persons
imagine that all that the Secretary of
the Treasury has to do is to issue pa
per and metal money. But really that
is the easiest part of the business.
The currency of the country is really
nothing except just checks. They don't
look like the checks that your father
signs in his business. but. just like
those checks. they must have funds
behind them to be of any use. And to
get funds the business managers of
little stores in little towns or big stores
like Uncle Sans must do business all
the time.
So the Secretary of the Treasury is
worrying always as TO where he can
get money. He watches all the ships
that come in. from Lower California
to Boring Straits on the Pacific coast,
and all the way north along the At
lantic to the farthest northern port
in Maine. And all along the Canadian
boundary are men on land and men
on ships, watching for anything that
may enter the United States in that d.
rection. These men are called revenue
officers, and their vessels are revenue

BALDWIN. the w0uld-be discOyerer
of the North Pole, has returned to Nor
way. and, like many Others who have
penetrated the frigid north, without
having been anywhere near his objective
point. Many lives have been lost and
millions of money spent in attempts to
reach the North Pole. The. goal is still
AS far away as ever. Each generation
imagines it can do what the preceding
one failed in accomplishing. Some
years ago the British government fitted
out the most powerful iron ships in the
world and sent am expedition into the
undiscovered country. Like those
which preceded it the expedition was
failure and was compelled to return.
There are many dreams as to what
people will see when once the North
Pole is reached. Some imagine a con-
tinent of luxurious verdure will greet
the eve. Others think new race OF
people as strange to us as the inhabitants
Of the North star will gaze in wonder
on the adventurous explorers, while
some commentators on the Bible are
positive that remnants of the Garden Of
Eden are to be found in the land of the
midnight sun.

MAY YOHE AND CAPT. STRONG.-May
Yohe drove to the Savoy Hotel, London
curly yesterday morning and registered
as Lady Francis Hope. May Yohe spent
the day at the hotel dejectedly reading
and re-reading batch of letters which
she had just received from Putnam Brad
lee Strong, and in which, while urging
forgiveness and beseeching news of Miss
Yohe's future movements, he carefully
dsguishd his own whereabouts. On
the inside flap Of one envelope Strong
wrote: "Send word by him (bearer) ifyou
forgive me-" On reading this Miss 1Ohe
exclaimed: "There have been all sorts of
friends here today, Offering me all sorts
of inducements to leave here, but | care
only for Bradlee. Where is he? Why
don't they bring him to me? Why does
he write me if he doesn't love? | would
forgive him in a minute if he would only
say that he is sorry" Miss Yohe grew
quite hysterical. Strong letters declared
that he was within days ride Of Paris,
which was obscure enough to leave Miss
YOhe in doubt rs to whether he was in
England or at Genoa. Miss Yohe had
all her trunks packed in readiness to 60
to Paris. but an intimation she received
that Stroug was not there finally decided
her to remain in London. Referring to
this decision, she said 81 don't see
how / can spend another night in this
miserable place, but | SUPPOSE | must.
Prior to leaving London Strong told his
friends he intended to go to the United
States and never see Miss Yohe again.
1t is now evident that he has changed his
plans and that a reconciliatOry meeting
between him and Miss Yohe is only
matter of few days. Such meeting
would probably have occurred already II
Strong were not doubtful as to Miss lohe :
attitude in the matter of criminal pro-
ceedings against him.

SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST ?, 1902

MosT OF the gush of the past few
wears manifested by some ex-federal and
ex-Confederate officers and soldiers has
been viewed with suspicion by obSeryant
people, and the fact that much OF the so
called millennium between those who
composed the federal and Southern
armies was hollow and hypOcritical, Is
ever now and then made manifest. Those
who imagine the North has buried the
bloody shirt and people of the South
who have been actively engaged in writ
ing epitaphs for its tombstone VIII be
disappointed, mortified or disguised.
which ever way they may view II, 10
learn that a decided movement Is on foot
among many ex-uniOn soldiers to abase
on Confederate officers who in 1860
DOTTED the grey and in 1898 donned the
blue. Hence all the foam OF former
union soldiers in regard to having fought
under ex-Confederate generals at san
Juan Hill, which turned many heads
not properly screwed on at first, Is evaP-
GRATING fast. 1t is now authoritatively
stated that movement is on foot for the
unifcation or consolidation Of the soldier
yote-that is, of the men who fought IN
the union army during the war between
the States-fOr the express purpose Oh
setting at naught cX-Coniederate generals
who have recently figured in army CIR
cles or been placed on the retired list.
1t is also the purpose Of those desiring
to effect such an organization to bring
about other combinations with the sol
der vote. which, they claim, will make
il the most formidable political body IN
the world. Colonel Stratton, OF the
Post Office Department, secretary OF the
Soldiers Political League, seems to be
the leading spirit in this contemplated
crusade. and the operations are secret.
On the subject of its growth Colonel
Stratton recently said:
~ have never seen anything to equal
the almost phenomenal spontanelty OF
sentiment that has been aroused all over
the country in favor of widespread or
ganization of the league. The organl-
cation of the old soldiers for political
purposes has resulted from patriotic
impulse. born of Il desire TO thwart the
Vaccinations Of those who are IN posi-
ton to discriminate. humiliate, rclega,e
or degrade the old soldier, simply on the
ground that he is an old soldier. About
one of the first things the new Organlza-
ton will do when it gets into line, will
be to ask for the repeal of the present
odious retirement law, which gives to q
man who was educated ut government
expense and sworn to defend its flag
against all enemies, both of the general
and domestic. and who aiterward fought
four years to destroy that flag, a retire
ment for life, with the rank and emol-
uments of major general, while the
faithful government clerk who served in
the union army, for long years, and the
rest of his life to the present i'll the gov
eminent service is given a discharge,
with kick and acurse for his iealty and
fidelity"
The meaning of all this is sufficiently
plain and needs no further comment.

IT HAS developed that in Chicago
men are being paid to assault non-union
workmen, and that the price varies ac-
cording TO the injury inflicted. Thus If
a man is efectually disabled and de-
barred by his injuries from working any
longer at his trade the assailant receives
fancy prices; those who infict temporary
Knockout blows are paid at a cheap
rate for their brutality. These facts
have been established by one of the
courts of Chicago and several iadivi luals
charged with such assaults have been
indicted. But little can be said in the
way of comment upon such condition
of affairs ia one of the largest cities on
the American continent, and men who
engage in these wrongs will sooner or
later reap the just recompense OF their
deeds. The parties who intlict the in
iuries are despicable enough in the eyes
of all matchmaking people, but or
CARNATIONS which pay money to the
perpetrators of such outrages must be as

porations are they are necessarily fight
