that hard work during long hours

Senator Achi's resolution adopted by

county and municipal act was a timely
thought and II properly carried into
effect ought to secure first class meas
ure besides demonstrating the spirit in
which the party pledge Is made. Some
Republicans are inclined to the belief
that the charter framed two years ago
is quite sufficient for present purposes
but as the men who did the principal
work on that measure consider II to he
incomplete in many details, 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that too much pains
taking study cannot be devoted to the
subject.
The pledge OF the party is so specific
that the responsibility It carries should
be brought home to every well meaning
citizen. Successful local self-govern
ment in any section OF the United
States can be obtained only through
the readiness OF thoughtful broad.
minded men to give freely Of their time

particularly true OF this Territory

government, a government that will
bring about a revolution as complete
as an changes created by force
OF arms or transfer of sovereignty.
1t would be almost suicidal to leave
the initial framing of the proposed
county or municipal laws till the few
weeks Immediately preceding the
: legislative session. The Territory
needs all the suggestions, all the ideas
in adapting the new system to local
conditions that can be obtained We
have many citizens who have given
much thought to this subject, others

HAND WORK AND POETRY.
[Chicago Record Herald. |

lIHlCdkO hecOTu-feTalu.l
In lecture at the University OF Chi
cago the other day william Norman
Guthrie said:
Few men would be poets II they
could do things with their hands. The
poet Is not the actual doer OF things.
II Homer had not been blind he might
have been great worker, but he prob
ably would not have been a poet"
The records undoubtedly show that
few poets have gone through life as
ditch diggers, hostlers, or even dock
wallpapers, But has not Mr.. Guthrie
put his cart before the horse? Are poets
poets because they can't work with
their hands, or do they turn from man
ual labor because they can be poets?
Robert Burns could plough before he
began to charm with his songs. Whit
tier found that he could do better as a
poet. Probably even shakespeare
used to help around his fathers wool
shop before he got to feeling above
such things and turned to writing
poetry. We have only to look over in
TO Indiana to see that Mr.. Guthrie has
stated the case backwards. Few men
would do things with their hands II
they could be poets.

The death OF James Mcmillan, Michi-
gan's senior representative in the
United States Senate. depletes by one
the nations not too ample list of emf
nently useful and, disinterested public
servants. The deliberative branch Of
Congress loses at the same time the
ripened counsel of an experienced AMI
trusted leader. BY length OF service
Mr.. Mcmillan was scarcely entitled to
rank among the veterans in legisla-
ton, who, like Messrs. Allison, Aid
rich, Hale, Frye, Plat of Connecticut;
Hoar, Morgan, Vest and Cockrell, have
shaped the Senate's policy continuous
ly for nearly thirty years. The senior
Senator from Michigan came to Wash
ington in 1889, with no previous legis-
lative training and with no reputation
In national politics other than that
given him by a career OF successful
party management in his own State.
Yet his intelligence, his highminded-
ness, his capacity for mastering the
routine Of legislation, had won him by
the end OF his first term a recognition
which II is rarely given to a compare
tive newcomer in the Senate TO attain.

PRIDE OF THE SMOOTH HEAD.
lPall Mall Gazette. !


We have never understood the popu-
lar sentiment which regards a head
free from hair as a disgraceful or ri.
diculous object. That the sentiment is
as old as 1t Is widespread, is shown by
the story OF Elisha and the hooking
boys. The sentiment is also shared by
the Public Prosecutor at Cracow.
There Is a club of bald-headed men in
that city. and they asked Archduke
Charles Stephen 20 become their hon
orary president; the Public Prosecutor
heard of their appeal, and instructed
proceedings to be taken against the
petitioners for an insult to one OF the
Royal family. We are glad to say that
the Archduke interviewed, and the case
was quashed, although His Royal High
ness felt unable to accept the proffered
honor. That officious Public Prosecu-
cutor must hold similar views OF those

Asphalt is found in the provinces OF

Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom

ratives of the Greek and Roman his

water and driven over the surface OF
the sea are without doubt true. Ac-
cording to the American Asphale Jour
nal, this asphalt, and generally the
Oriental or Egyptian, is pure and eX-

manufacture OF certain kind OF var
