The New York World gives the pub
lie this bit if consolation: 1.-The beet
packers are promptly meeting out their
punishment to the public. The eighty
millions of Americans have the temer-
ity to object to being robbed, and the
government, after much pressure,
brought action which has not yet acted
80 far as prices are concerned. The
packers accepting this as a piece OF
impertinence. now proceed to form a
new trust that will place them above
all the laws against increasing prices.
1t begins to look as though the poor
public had better keep quiet or cease
to exist If the poor public does
not possess the courage and industry
to stand up for its rights. says the
Commoner, against handful of men
who seek to impose upon it, then 1t
would be better for the poor public
"to keep quiet or cease to exist. - But
If the American people shall become
thoroughly aroused and shall be per-
suaded to use the power within their
grasp, there is no trust and no coterie
Of men seeking to thrive upon public
misery that can long Withstand the de-
termined assault

Hon. Bourke Cochran In his Fourth
of July grafton took occasion to refute
the oft asserted power of government
to create wealth. He said Govern
ment of itself can create nothing.
There is but one source of property,
and that is the labor of human hands
exercised directly ON the bosom of the
earth or on the products of the earth.
Since government cannot create any
thing, it has nothing of it's own to
bestow. 1t, therefore, it undertakes
to enrich one man, the thing which it
gives him it must take from some
other man. Where it has favorite it
must have a victim, and obviously
that government only is just and truly
benevolent which has neither favorites
nor victims. .

A loon-keeper in Nebraska, who
sold man whiskey and made him
drunk, was held liable in damages for
the mans death, which occurred by
the drunken man falling from his
buggy while on his way home. II it
is good law that the saloon-keeper is
responsible for a mans accidents,
when he has made him drunk. why
should he not also be RESPONSE BILE for
his acts II drunken man accident
ally kills himself. and the man who
sold him the liquor is responsible
in damages to his widow, should the
liability not be the same IL the drunk
en- man. instead of killing himself.
should kill another2 And If respon-
sible under the civil law, why not
under the criminal code2 II a man,
by firing the brain of another with
whiskey, incite him to murder, should
he not share his punishment with himY
If this Nebraska decision Is right
under the common or civil law, and
we take it that it is, then we should
like to see the criminal code Of Ten
nessee be made to correspond with 1t.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
THE LATEST.

With only the Water Valley box OF
the nth district, to hear from Padgett' g
majority in Maury county is about
As. Whitthorne has small ma lorlty
at Water Valley. but Psdgett will carry
the county.
A telegram from Williamson county
TO the Herald, stated that Padgett
would carry that county by $50. News
from Giles gives Padgett majority
of 600 to 700. Padgett's majority it is
stated in Lawrence will be about 100.
Indications therefore point to Mr..
Padgett's nomination.
Judge Holding ran splendid race
in this county and while all retu rms
from the Judges race are not in, he
will probably carry Maury county by
/. 800 votes. A report from GILES states
that RUSSELL carried that county by
800 votes. Capt. Russell may carry
Lawrence and Wayne counties, though
M reports have been received from
those couties. Juage Holding is
elected, however, by majority four
or five times as large as he received
in his last race.

The gold papers bitterly denounce
The COmmOner for its criticisms OF
Mr. Cleveland's Tilden club speech.
These papers. says the COmmOner,
point out that Mr.. Bryan did not
until recently comment upon Mr..
Cleveland. and accuse him Of reopen
ing old sores As long as Mr.. Cleve-
land acted with the republicans he
was an open enemy and enjoyed the
protection of the rules Of war. But
when he tried TO enter the democratic
camp. not as one in sympathy with
irs purpose. The Commoner objected.
When Mr.. Cleveland becomes demo-
crat he will be treated as such, but as
long as ne believes In republican
politics he ought to be content to
associate with those who believe in
those policies. He ought not TO be
afraid of the name republican so long
as he is in political utilization with
them.

SOMETHING BETTER THAN
MERE MONEY GETTING.
The Boston Post savs

The Boston Post says;
s.Senator Hoar has bought a house in
Washington. 1t is modest and
simple house, he tells the Worcester
Gazette, in one of the more humble
sections of the city. though large
enough for Us paid SIS, 900 for IL.
and borrowed the money here in
dorchester. 1t is in q portion of the
city where real estate Is rising. and
by the end of my term l hope to sell
ii at an advantage.
For thirty-three years Mr.. Hoar
has represented Massachusetts, as Con-
gresham and Senator at Washington.
He was rising yom !; lawyer when
he entered the public service, who
already had .lade his place, was earn-
ing a good income and had before
him the prospect of winning some OF
the high prizes in his profession.
Had he stuck TO his law practice, he
would probably be today a man OF
wealth.
The Louisville Courier-Journal, COM
menting on above, says:
VERY likely. But Senator Hoar, il
not a man of wealth. is an excep-
tionally rich man rich in character
and achievement; in influence ana In
long record of conscientious state
manship; in the respect and esteem OF
both his political associates and oppo-
nents. He would have been much
poorer man today if he had devoted
his life to the accumulation OF
money.

The owners of delivery wagons,
pleasure carriages and other vehicles
ought to be more careful who they
employ to drive for them. If from
the recklessness or carelessness of a
driver of any team. other teams or
vehicles or individuals are hurt the
employer Of the careless driver is re-
sponsi BILE. The way careless boys
dash along these streets, unmindful OF
the rights of others, is sometimes APP
palling to behold. Fast riding and fast
driving. horses left standing unhitched
and loose horses on the streets, all
these are prohibited by law, and the
police ought to enforce the law more
rigidly than they do.

RIGHTS OF NAVAJO WOMAN.
She Alone, of All Indian Squaws, En-
joys Independence.


The Navajo woman, who has made
her tribe the most famous OF all living
Indian races by means Of her great
and excellent invention, the Navajo
blanket. occupies social position OF
great independence. Her property
rights are carefully respected. She
owns much Of the wealth of the tribe,
and her children belong to her alone.
A woman may have hundreds OF sheep
when she marries, and not one be-
comes the property OF her husband.
Descent is traced through the female
line. 1t is survival Of the primitive
matriarchate.
The Navajo woman has no perma-
nent home. The progress of the tribe
has been greatly impeded by its dark:
superstitution that every death IS,
caused directly by Chinde. the devil.
and that evil spirits linger about the
dead body. The house is never oc-
cupied again. The corpse is buried in
the floor, and the house pulled down
over 1t, and a Navajo would freeze
before he would make a fire upon the
logs of one of these deserted heaps.
So the Navajo "hogan" is a poor
temporary affair, a mere circular hut
Of logs and stones. with hole in the
roof for the smoke and blanket for
the door. In the summer the Navajo
woman loves to move into brush
"wickyup made of greasewood
boughs There she sets up her loom in
the shadow of the rocks, and lives in
the open air all summer.

G.. w. NICHOLS.
An EfficacIous Remedy.

Esq. George W. Hayes says he thinks
all boys and their mothers should
know Of simple but sure remedy for
the removal of thorns, splinters, etc.
from the feet of barefoot boys. The
remedy is not original with Esq.
Hayes, but he has tried it with his
own children and knows its value.
The child so unfortunate as to get a
thorn or splinter stuck deeply into his
foot, is made to chew up little corn
bread. This is applied as a poultice
over the wound at night In the morn :
ing the thorn will be found drawn
almost entirely from the foot, and al.
most all the soreness gone.

Bryan's Letter to the TiIden Club.

Lincoln, Neb., July 8, 1902 Score
tary Tilden Club, 2130 Broadway,
New York City. Sir: Through
the oversight of clerk in my office l
did not see the invitation sent by your
club, and did not know until last Wed
'nesday that one had been received.
On that day l received a telegram
from my secretary addressed to me at
Aberdeen, s. D., saying that such a
communication had been found.
regret exceedingly that it did not come
to my attention before the dinner. for,
while would not have thought proper
to accept, would have acknowledged
your courtesy and given my reasons
for declining. When Mr.. Cleveland
left the democratic party in 1895 |
recognized his right to do so and did
not criticise his decision, although, as
the party candidate, l was compelled
to bear the odium which his admins
tration had brought upon the party.
He has never yet indicated any inten-
ton to return to the democratic party
and his business interests are such as
to make his return impossible. Until
he does manifest some respect for
democratic principles do not under
stand why he should be an honored
guest at a political dinner given by a
democratic club. Having thrown his
influence to the republican party in
two national campaigns he Is hardly
in a position to advise the party which
he abandoned or, as he expressed it,
which banished him. I am anxious to
see the party grow in numbers and In
strength, but it Is absurd to expect that
harmony can result from an attempt
to turn the majority Of the party over
to the tender mercies Of those who find
the society of republicans more con-
genial than the society Of those who
believe in the platforms adopted in
1896 and in 1900. Harmony is only
posi- BILE between those who desire the
triumph of the same principles and
policies, and it is quite evident from
the past and present attitude Of Mr..

Judging by the remarks credited to
prominent railroad men, the inagura-
ton of twenty hours trains between
New York and Chicago is only the be-
ginning of an era of fast runs in
this country. They say that, with
improved road beds, the time between
many important termini can be re-
duced by from one-third to one-half.
The quicker the time the less the
expense should be. Not in equal pro-
portion, but to some extent at least.
just as if it requires a day for livery
team to carry one.to given point, they
will charge him something more than
if it should require only half day.

Here is an investment for home capl-

right glad to encourage and make pay.
La Crosse, Wis, has a heating plant,
in full operation in that city, and pro-

water Is forced through large mains
through the city, and large number
of private residences are connected
with these mains and heated by the
hot water from them. Comfortable
houses and hot water convenient at

pany and erect heating plant for Co
lumbia? Not that we need it particular
ly right now. But it would be awfully
convenient and nice few months
from now.

HORSE WHITES
And Does Many Remarkable Things
Intelligently.
Paris Cor. New York WOrld-1

Paris. August 2.-Dr. George
Rouhet of Mousegur, France. Is the
owner of a horse which has been PRO-
nounced by experts the most intelll-
gent equine in the world
The doctor is a country physician,
and in his moments of leisure he has
trained the animal entirely by patience
and kindness to do many wonderiui
things.
Germinal, as the horse is called, can,
without any assistance whatever, put
out a candle in either OF two ways.
He extinguishes it by blowing through
his nostrils or uses his feet so adroltly
that the candle is uninJured. When
he desires to enter the barn he opens
the door and closes it behind him, as
any well bred person would.
His most extraordinary requirement
however, is the ability to write. de
does this regularly every day, tracing
words that his MISTER dictates to him
letter by letter.
When DIR. Rouher exhibits Germi-
mails talents in public he mounts him,
for then the skillful penman writes
better, but in private the horse writes
without any restraint whatever, being
urged to bis pursuit by the patient
and affectionate encouragement or his
owner.
DR.. Rouhet believes that he writes
just as a very young child does, who
traces character without any exact no
ton of the letter or the word.
He considers a horse quite as lntelil-
gent as dog, and says the reason its
faculties are less easily trained is be-
cause of the life of servitude and in
equality that has been put upon the
EQUINE race for so long.
While DIR. Rouhet hopes the horse
will live for many years yet, he in
tends to MAKE a special disposition OF
his skull when he dies. He will be-
queath it 70 anatomists, who will ex-
anime it to discover to what point
special training has developed the
brain of Germinal 1t will then be
presented to museum IN Paris as a
souvenir of the most intelligent horse
in the world.
