Same Arguments Apply.

Some OF the papers which defend i'm
perialism are also describing Jim Hill
as a public benefactor and %apologizing
for the consolidation of the trans-con-
%tinental lines. There is a similarity
between the arguments which Justify a
colonial policy in the Orient and the
arguments which defend a railroad
monopoly in the Northwest. Both sys-
tens are based upon the theory that a
few people are divlnely appointed to do
the developing and that the rest OF
the people are condemned by fate to be
developed.

The long-drawn-out controversy.
which. at one time, was by no means
devoid Of bitterness. over the PROPOSE
ton to honor the memory Of Nathan
Hale by erecting a statue of him on
the grounds of Yale University. seems
likely to come to a peaceful end to-
ward the last of this month. when, ac-
cording 10 present indications, a
bronze statue OF the ~hero-martyr OF
the American revolution will be I'M
yelled on the green. with imposing
ceremonies.
The statue decided upon is the work
OF William Ordway Partridge of New
York. II has been completed in clay
and will shortly be cast in bronze.
Critics who have seen the statue speak
favorably of 1t, and one of the num-
her expresses the opinion that 1T en-
bodies more perfectly the spirit, and
portrays more nobly the manliness of
Nathan Hale, than any other repre-
sentation of him in existence" This
is high praise for the statue of Hale,
by Frederick MacMonnles. which
stands in City Hall Park, New York,
and is one of the best examples of that
accomplished sculptor's work. Mr..
Partridge himself considers his statue
of Hale his masterpiece.
Modelling a statue of Nathan Hale
was to Mr.. Partridge "A labor of love.
The work. which occupied much of his
time during a period of upward of two
years, was carried on with an enthu-
siasm that never tagged. The finished
and accepted statue has grown from
two or three models. The sculptor had
ever before him in his minds eye the

The Man the Democrat. Need.

At the present stage OF its history
the Democratic party needs, II II ever
did, the ripest judgment. the most
severely disciplined discretion, in It's
presidential nominee. The voters
whose impulses are toward the party
require a man whose political princi-
Piles have been deeply laid in refec-
ton and sharply tried In constant con-
fict. There are such men. Having
them ut hand. the democracy will
avoid the shallow subterfuge of a
campaign confined to the personal at
traction of n soldier or seilor-and a
soldier or sailor whose public utter
ances would have to be censored by
an advisory board.-St. Louis Repub-

1t is a mistaken notion that the pos
tai department should produce a rev.
enue. Its mission Is to serve the peo-
ple at the smallest cost, and when the
department finds the receipts equaling
the expenditures 1t should Immediately
better the service. II Is undoubtedly
true, as the postmaster general claims,
that the department is the victim of
mail abuses, but it is not true that the
abuse is confined wholly to a too lib
eral construction of the second-class
mail privileges. The greatest abuse is
in the letting of mail carrying con-
tracts at exorbitant figures to railroads,
and in the payment of unreasonable
rentals for mail cars. 1t costs no o
TO haul an express car than it does to
haul a postal car. yet the postofilce de-
partment pays from seven to ten times
more for hauling postal cars than the
express companies pay for hauling
their cars. 1t costs the railroads no
more to carry a ton OF mail than II
does to carry a ton OF express. yet the
government pays from seven to ten
times more for mail hauling than ex-
press companies pay for their express
haul. Before the benefits to the people
are curtailed the exorbitant sums paid
for carrying the mails should be
brought down to just and reasonable
figures.

WHEN SMOKING WAS A CRIME.
Colonial Legislature Was Severe on the
Users of Tobacco.

Colonial Legislature Was Severe on the
Users of Tobacco.
1t is one of the curiosities of old
time legislation that the use of tobac-
90 was in early colonial days regarded
as far more injurious, degrading, and
sinful than intoxicating liquors. Both
the use and the planting of the weed
were forbidden, the cultivation of it
being permitted only in small quanti-
ties, for mere necessitie, for phisick,
for preservation OF the health, and
that the same be taken privately by
anncient men," But the creature cali
ed tobacco" seemed to have an in
destructible life. Landlords were order
ed not to suffer any tobacco to be
taken into their houses" on penalty OF
fine to the "victualler' and another
to the party that takes it," The laws
were constantly altered and enforced,
and still tobacco was grown and was
smoked. No one could take it public
quely" nGr in his own house or any
where else before strangers. Two men
were forbidden to smoke together. No
one could smoke within two miles OF
the meeting house on the Sabbath day.
There were wicked backsliders who
were caught smoking around the cor
ner of the meeting house and others on
the street, and they were fined and set
in the stocks and in cages. Until with
in few years there were New England
towns where tobacco smoking in the
streets was prohibited, and innocent
cigarette loving travellers were aston
ished at being requested to cease smok-
ing. Mr.. Drake wrote in 1886 that he
knew men, then living, who had had
to plead guilty or not guilty in a Bos-
ION police court for smoking in the
streets OF Boston. In Connecticut in
carly days a great indulgence was per-
mit,ed to trayelers-a man could
cmoke orce during a journey of IL
miles.
