CLAY ON THE RIGHT LINE

Every once in a while Senator CLAY
of this state does something which
indicates that he is looking out for
the interests of the people. in our
Washington dispatches yesterday it
was stated that he had discovered that
Republican senators were putting
friends and political supporters on the
pay roll of the Senate without any
authority or excuse for doing so. He
at once took steps to put stop to
the abuse, and when he had taken
the initiative some of the Republican
senators lent him a helping hand
They were doubtless afraid to do other
wise. They could not afford to shave
it to go out to the country. at the
beginning of the congressional cam
paigns, that their party was wasting
the peoples money by putting men
who rendered no service, on the Sem
ate's pay roll
1t seems that certain Republican
senators had appointed clerks and
messengers for committees which had
not had a meeting in ten years. OF
course these senators know that they
were doing something which they
would not like to have made public.
Technically, perhaps, they had the
right to appoint clerks and messen-
gers for the committees in question,
but morally they had no such right.
They knew the men they were APP
pointing were not expected to render
service for the money they were to
receive.
The expenditures of the Senate are
so enormous that they are exciting
comment They would astonish the
people if the pay roll of that body
should be published. 1t is said that
there are scores of men carried on that
roll who render little or no service.
The Democratic party could not get
better campaign ammunition than it
would furnish. If the people were
made aware of the amount of money
that the House and Senate waste an
nually in taking care of personal and
political friends of Republican sena-
tors and representatives they would
agree that the Republican party has
been in power long enough Senator
Clay is doing good work in calling the
attention of the public to the abuses
for which that party is responsible.

FORMER CAPT. CARRIERS RE-
VENICE.

1t seems that former Capt. Carter,
to shrewd lawyers to get out of the
military prison at Leavenworth, de-
cided upon revenge.
There was an announcement in our
dispatches a day or two ago that the
United States Circuit Court at st.
Louis had decided that a court-martial
composed of officers of the regular
army could not legally try a volunteer
officer. The dispatch further stated
that the effect of this decision would
be TO release from prison about two
hundred men confined i'm military pris-
ems. There was nothing in the dispatch
to indicate that former Capt Carter
had anything to do with the decision
II turns out, however. that he sug-
gested the plea on which the decision
was based
In the prison at Leavenworth there
is a man who was a volunteer officer.
His name is Capt Peter Deming. He
was in the army that Gen. Shafter
commanded at Santiago. For offenses
of more or less gravity. Deming and
others were tried and convicted by a
court-martial, composed of officers Of
the regular army and ordered by Gen.
Shafter. II appears that the General
did not know much about that part of
the army regulations which deals with
courts martial, and the Secretary of
War did not know any more about it
than the General. Deming and other
officers were convicted.
Ever since their conviction they had
been trying to find a loophole through
which to escape their sentences. The
lawyers whom they employed gave
them no comfort. They had about
made up their minds that they would
have to serve out their sentences when
Deming called former Capt. Carriers
attention to his case.
Naturally Garter had been giving a
good deal of attention to the army reg
ulations, particularly that part of them
which applies to the trial of officers. He
took hold of Deming's case and his
quick mind was not long in discov-
ering that the government could not
legally hold Deming in prison.
He advised Deming as to the course
he shouldspursue, and it is practically
certain that Deming and a couple of
hundred other men, now occupying
cells in military prisons, will be re-
leased, because the Supreme Court
cannot do otherwise than UNFOLD the
decision of the st. Louis United States
Circuit Court
Garter, it seems, can find ways of
getting other prisoners out of prison
if he cannot get out himself. He Is
having his revenge on the government
for depriving him of his liberty. If the
Secretary of War does not keep him in
solitary confinement he may find legal
means for practically emptying all the
military prisons of the country before
his sentence expires.

The Quick and the Dead,

Public assemblies in New York and
Washington are discovering that Mil
ton E. Allies, the assistant secretary
OF the treasury, has graceful abilities
as an after-dinner speaker, says the
Philadelphia Post
recently, at a Knights Templar
gathering he was the first called upon
at the conclusion of the banquet He
mad been notified that he would be
asked to make a few remarks, but, not
wishing to deliver a set speech, he had
asked to be placed toward the bottom
or the list and had understood that that
was to be the arrangement. He had,
therefore, relied on the speakers that
were to precede him to furnish him
material for impromptu comment.
though somewhat disconnected by
the. unexpected summons of the chair
man, Mr.. Allies rose to the occasion.
There is some mistake" said he. lin
my being called upon at this stage of
the proceedings, and the incident re-
minds me of an epitaph which enjoys
local fame in my native village in Ohio.
AT the death of an eccentric citizen it
was learned that he had himself writ
ten out and intrusted to a marble cut
ter the legend that was to be craven
on his tombstone.
when the lettering was completed
the villagers all went out to view the
epitaph, and this is how it read:

Taken for a Scalper.

United States Senator wine Adj"
Mason, so the story goes in Washing
ton, decided during the holiday recess
to give his family a New Years treat
in the shape of an afternoon at the
matinee, says the New York CONNER
cial. He went to one of the leading
theaters of the capital and asked the
magnate in the window if he had any
good seats for New Years afternoon.
How many?" asked the ticket sell
er. Fourteen" replied the senator
Now see here" responded the tick
et-seller, do you suppose we are 60
ing to sell you those tickets for you
to scalp? We know as we'll as you do
that there will be a big demand for
seats on New Years Day. You can't

But don't want to speculate in
them. / just want them for my own
family" protested Mr.. Mason.
The ticket seller made it plain that
he did not know much about large
families.

senator with an apology as he handed
out the tickets. II have been taken

LOVE OUTWEIGH MONEY

ASrefreshing story of love and money
comes from Chicago. In this busy,
hustling age. when just about all man
kind seems straining every nerve TO
overtake winged fortune, and when the
tendency is to think that money can
procure practically everything that is
desirable, 1t is pleasant to read a story
in which love is all and money is moth
ling.
Mrs. Walter l.. Peck, wife of mil
lionaire in Chicago, is childless. She
takes a deep interest in kindergarten
work, and is the patroness of a GER
tain free kindergarten. Some time
ago, while on a visit to the school.
she was attracted by the appearance
of manly and handsome little boy of
seven years. He had on calico waist
and pair of coarse overalls. His
clothes were clean but not cleaner
than his hands and bright face. His
eyes were clear and frank yet full of
self-confidence. He was standing at
the back of a chair and held in his
hand half-eaten apple. Mrs Peck
spoke to the little fellow, and found his
manners quite as charming as his ap-
pearance. He was modest but not
bashful. quick but not pert. Mrs.
Peck had his picture taken, with his
half-eaten apple in his hand, ascer-
tanned his name and the address of
his mother and bade him good-day.
A week or two later Mrs Peck call
ed on the mother of the little boy Mrs.
Carlyle, who was found to be so poor
that she was obliged to take in wash
ing to earn living. Besides the little
boy, Leo, there were several other
little Carlyles. The. rich woman asked
the poor washerwoman's permission
for the little boy to go to her home
for visit of several days. He agreed,
and the visit was made. Little Leo
improved on acquaintance: so much.
indeed, that when his mother went to
Mrs. 'Pecks mansion to take him home
the rich woman said to her: Mrs.
Carlyle, you are poor; am rich. You
have many children; have none. Per-
init me TO adopt Leo. and / will pay
you $4,000. He will be my heir and will
receive every possible advantage"
Here was an opportunity that would
have appealed powerfully to a great

THE NEW NAVY USELESS.

In an address at a reception of the
Authors Club in New York on Thurs
day night MIR. Carnegie said that the
new navy which we are now building
was useless. That was a rather start
ling statement, and yet there was rea-
son for IT.
He called attention to a conversation
which he once had with Mr. Gladstone.
That great Englishman asked him If
the big navy Great Britain was build
ing did not cause uneasiness in the
United States. Mr.. Carnegie told him
that ii did not--that the American peo-
pie did not care il Great Britain built
thousand battleships. This answer
surprised Mr.. Gladstone. who asked
for an explanation. Mr.. Carnegie told
him that Great Britain, by building
such large navy, was simply maxi
ing enemies on the continent, and
was not strengthening herself in the
event of a conhictt with the United
States. He pointed out that before
Great Britain could blockade American
ports the President would put an en-
barge on exports, and England would
be compelled to ask for peace--her peo-
pie would be brought to the point of
starvation within three weeks. An en-
barge on our exports of food products
would do more to protect us against
any European Power than great navy
could.
There is no doubt truth i'm this Eu-
rope is dependent upon the United
States for bread and meat Partic-
ularly is that true in the case of Eng
land 1t is doubtful if it would take
three weeks to exhaust that country's
bread supply.
The United States, however, are not
going to stop building a navy because
they are virtually safe from attack by
European Power. They want to be
in position to compel respect for their
flag the world over. They don't
want to feel that their only defense
Is their power to starVe their enemies.
Besides If the need for the services of
great navy should arise the chances
are that it would be immediate. The
navy of Great Britain or Germany
might DO us an immense amount of
damage in much less than three weeks
il we hadn't a navy of sufficient
strength to defend us. While therefore
there is much in what Mr.. Carnegie
said about the uselessness of our new
navy. it doesn't appeal with sufficient
force to practical men to prevent the
building of more warships.
