People Killed by Lightning.

From 700 to 800 persons are killed
annually by lightning in the United
States, says A. }. Henry of the United
States weather bureau. In 1900 there
were reports of lib cases of fatal
lightning strokes. In the same year
973 persons were more or less seriously
injured by lightning. The loss of life
from lightning is greatest in the Ohio
valley and the middle Atlantic states.
If density of population only be con-
sidered it is greatest in the upper
Missouri valley and in the middle
Rocky mountain region. Of the T3
fatal cases reported in 1900, 219 per-
sons were killed in the open, 15S in
houses, fifty. seven under trees and
fifty. six in barns. The circumstances
attending the death Of the remaining
l51 were not reported.

Begged For Thefr LINeS'
When Bishop fell, Mulligan and
Brooks sank to their knees, begging
the warden to spare their lives, and
by 1890 o'clock the two desperadoes'
heavily shackled and accompanied by
ten men with drawn pistols, were
placed in their cells and quiet had
been restored.
After the men had been securely
locked up it was discovered that Null
lgan had been wounded IN the
shoulder, though he was not serious
ly hurt.

POland's Century of Protest.

Eighty-eight years have passed since by the treaty of Vienna, old Poland was partitioned between Russia, Aus tria and Prussia. Yet in all the lcng interval no real progress has been made toward reconciling the Poles to the loss of their nationality and inde- pendence. Emperor William of Ger many has just received an enthusiastic reception in Posen, but it was because he took it along with him in the shape of a small army of faithful German soldiers. Encouraged by their armed presence the German minority of Po- sens inhabitants cheered the kaiser and waved their red. white and black cClors. while the Polish majority either let the city or looked on in sullen silence from the windows of their ua- decorated houses.
 Nearly a century of ruthless repres- sion. supplemented Of late years in Germany's part of Poland with severe efforts to uproot the Polish language in the schools, churches and courts. is thus seen to have ended as it begun with the ccnqueror as strong as his bayorets make him and no stronger. Poland is not likely ever to live again as an independent nation. but her nine decades Of mute protest against all three of the great empires that joined to dismember and suhjugate her are eloquent witnesses to the well-nigh i'm possible task which those great nations that forcibly subjuSate and annex weaker ones impose upon themselves. The instinct for liberty is inextingufsh- able.-New York World.

son. There was always somebody around, and parents do not like to whip children in the presence of visit ors. There was a disposition to punish the club at the time of the Wilson pri- maries. but some of the members of the party thought that was too public an occasion. and it was resolved to let the castigation go over a few days, when it would be administered with in terest.
 Yesterday there was nobody at home but the family, and the accumulated sins of the club were wiped out and several extra strokes were put on as d caution against another infraction of family discipline. Ii the members of the Young Mems Democratic club are wise, they will profit by the events Of yesterday. The club had not only be- come a troublesome, though awkward political machine, but it has been charged with having become a corrupt one in peanut sort of a way. It has brought the city government into bad odor, which assailed the nostrils even of those who live in the farthermost corners of the county. That accounts in large measure for the vote given for the so-called Stout ticket in so many country precincts.
 The younger democrats are not wholly to blame for their bad conduct in the past. That is what they were taught. but they were too precocious and grew worse than their elders knew now to be. They may not be wholly squelched, but if there is another up- rising among them the party promises to put it down with great promptitude next spring.
 Some of the members of the club have imagined that it was second Tammany. They forgot, though, that there is only one Tammany in the world. and that there is only one city in the United States big enough to con tain that kind of an organization, and sometimes that is too small. Such an organization as Tammany requires a special leadership. of such a kind as does not exist in the Young Mems Dem ocratic club. The leaders or manipu- lators of political machines do not grow or spring up in a night; they come by long and scientific training. We hope that the lessons learned by the young democrats yesterday will sink deep into their hearts.

LoUIsIANA's oNB-MAN TOWN.

We hear every now and then of "one-man' towns, but regard the phrase as a humorous exaggeration. We know that it does not mean either that there is only one man actually living in the town, or that one man has entire control of it's civic affairs. We know the words are merely a trib- ute to the toNn's leading citizen, whose sagacity is such that his fellow citi- zcns are generally content to follow lis lead.
 The state of Louisiana, however has the distinction of actually containing q one man town. not in the seEse that only one man lives there. but from the fact that one man, on Saturday last, alone had power to decided an irnpor- tant public question: and did decide if. His power did not arise from the fact that he owned the entire town, and all the rest of it's inhabitants were lodgers in his house. It arose from the fact that he wGs the only man in that town whom tho laws of Louisiana recognized as a full-hedged citizen.
 The town is Tioga, in Rapides parish, and last Saturday it's people were asked tu decide whether they would or would not have dramshops licensed for the next year. The judges and clerks of election were duly appointed and the polls opened. Then it was discovered that all tbis trouble and expense might have beer saved. fol, there was only one man in town who was qualified to de-

eide the issue raised. The majority of having dramshops. But the one man wanted them, and when he grave!y walked up to the polls and deposited his ballot the case was decided. His name is J. Nj. Calhoon.
 Mir. Calhoon's remarkable status is due. of course, to the election law of Louisiana, which is framed. for reasons which need not here be discussed, to discourage citizens from voting. There are SO many fOrmalities to be compiled with that some of them are easily over looked. MT. Calhoon appears to have been the only man in Tioga who had mastered the intricacies of the election law and compiled with all it's require ments. This made him master of the situation, and for the nonce his opinion was the legal judgment of the town on the question at issue.
 None will begrUdge MT. Calhoon the well earned reward of his forethought and industry. But it would seem that the people of Louisiana might reflect whether it is exactly desirable to have laws which make one man, no matter how great his wisdom, master of the action for a whole year upon an i'm portant point of public policy of an en- t!-e town. No one can object to d req sonable hedging in of the privilege of suffrage, but in such a case as this the hedge would seem in need of consider able trimming. Inter-Ocean.

The Scholar in Politics.

As scientist the memory of Dr. Ru-
 dolf Virchow will be held in perpetual
 esteem by students; but by the great
 mass cs thinking humanity his name
 will be best remembered as that O.. q
 politician ih the highest sense of the
 term.
 The world has produced few better examples of the scholar in politics, and
 particularly in the politics which con-
 cern municipal life. His scientific in
 vestigations and experiments had shown him that men living in large
 urban centers were overlooking many
 things necessary to health and comfort | Being broad man of action, he talked about these things to the people and | they sent him to the municipal council l of Berlin.
 Virchow was a political and philo-
 sophical radical, as most original and forceful men are. He was democratic;
 he became popular. And he set about | reforming the sanitary system of Der lin. doing his work 90 thoroughly that had he accomplished nothing else he would have erected in this effort alone q monument sufficiently great for any man.
 The point which most interests the
 average person in the life oi this great
 man is the example he set for all other politicians, whether scholars or not He had no selfish ends to serve while ostensibly serving the public He ac- cepted the votes of the people as a sacred trust, and he protected that | trust with honor to himself and lasting profit to his constituents.
 The world-and especially the cities at the present day-needs more poll ticians like Dr. Virchow, more mer who will consider it the greatest honor 10 serve their fellows faithfully and
 unselfishly. Tn this hi~ example is of the highest value. and for this. TO less than for his signal achievements as scholar, the world pauses today to do him honor.-Chicag Post

fully estimate the great value of this opportunity. This is one of the strong Incentives presented to young Ameri- cans to enlist in the naval service, not to speak of other desirable advanta ses winch they enjoy in connection with their training on shipboard.
 There Is m doubt but that there has been a Corcpicuous Improvement with in recent years in the personnel Of the United States sailors. and for this re- suit the enlistment of many fine stai- waIt young fellows from the interior of the country is in no snan degree re- rponsibe.

 The Presidential Oratory.

Seldom is it truer that the style is the man than in the case of President Roosevelt as a speaker. The impuls- iveness, energy and directness of his personality show in every gesture and infection. One rarely hears a public speaker more impatient of the studied graces and embellishments of the ora torical art. Most speakers are heard at a grievous disadvantage in address ing a great assembly in the open air, and while President Roosevelt perhaps suffers less in this respect than many orators who essay subtler effects, his style was by no means at it's best.
 President Roosevelt does not hus- band his resources in the least, nor waste any time in saying what he has to say. He springs alert and vigorous to his place, and with no pauses for oratorical effect, barely waiting for the cheering to subcide, he strikes for his point and hits it hard. His gestures are simple and few. and fo.' the most part of the straight up and dowr, ham, mer and anvil style, to match his em- phatie, direct manner. He leans well forward in his interest. and his wig orous facial play brings out all the characteristics that have been made familiar to the public by the cal icatur- ists. Of eloquence he has hardly a trace, and he eschews sonoIous and polished phrases as he does elocu.ion- ary tricks. To score a point, to give sound bit of practical advice, and all with no waste of words, sums up his aim in this as in his other minor speeches. The local point once made. bit of an old speech is roughly dove tailed in to fill out the scheduled length, To his transitions he deYotes

CONTROL OF NEXT CONGRESS

tOE1ttpL Ot NG4-NI T CONlTlEltco.
 Two very different estimates Q: the character of the next congress in the house of repres' natives portion Cf it gre furnished simultaneously. The one gives that body to the democrats, and bases it's opinion upon personal investi- gati0n and the views Of experienced political observers. The other con i1ently claims that the republicans arc.t2 carry it and reaches it's concIu- sion from similar premises. or course, these views gre those expressed by rep rcscntativcs of tho two political parties respectively. Neitter Of them may be 70 open to the charge Of blu1ing as some observers nay suspect. It strikes uz as fair tn anticipate some demo cratic gains ir the elections this year; indeed, We understand the republicans t1 conccde as much. The coming into posse sion. Of particulars as regards them may have raised hopes In demo- cratic quarters. On the other hand, the Washington correspondent of the 3ost-n Transcript presents the sub stantial croUnds-on which tho republi cans rely for the saving O: the house 10 them. They rest first on the pre- ponderarce which they attained two years ago. and which must be over thrown before the parties can start equal. Of the added members under the new apportionment, the republi- cans expect to obtain mcrc than half.

Bryanism in Ohio.

The money question is not settled. |" says William J. Bryan, and to this sol | chm deliverance the Hon.

Tn one sense it is true that the money tues ton is not settled" It is not and can
 not be settled that the people of tlia United States, acting through their lawmakers, cannot unsettie it. It would be competent for the leGisla tive ! department to issue any amount of 1 legal tender paper or to make tobacco or turEips or any other commodity legal tender for debts contracted on a.
