The attempt to buy off Governor
Cummins, of Iowa. from forcing his
idea of reforming the tariff and thus
prevent it from giving shelter to the
trusts, by Offering him that barren
office the vice presldentship, can hard
~ be true, though some of the Repub-
lican newspapers are publishing the
story. The only man who could have
made such n deal with the Governor
would be President Roosevelt, and it
is placing too low an estimate on
what lie would descend to for the sake
of insuring his own nomination and
election. The voters of Iowa who are
wideawake on the tariff and trust is
sues would retaliate upon any politi-
clan who would thus attempt to de-
ceive them and are quite likely to pun

DEIROT'S WOMAN HERMIT Is
A PUZZLE TO HER NElGHBORs.

Miss Martha Niniker. of Detroit,
Mich. is famous in her native city be-
cause of the peculiar life she leads. She
lives in little shanty in an otherwise
vacant lot on Haigh avenue which she
built herself and into which no one
is ever permitted to enter. The lot in
which the hut stands Martha has

The Atlantic Monthly publishes u
letter from Ralph Waldo Emerson to
Hermann Grimm, written in 1850, in
which he urges him to visit Concord,
the little town whose chief contrlbu-
ton to the public good is that every
farmer sends milk and wood to Bos-
ton" The philosophers estimate of
values suggests that they err who
think of Concord as solely devoted
to an output Of thought.

Everyone will admit that the wheels
of the world run swiftly these days.
Hardly week passes without cor
respondent at some scene of action an
nouncing that history has been
made" Hardly month passes with
out the appearance in society of some
new clement that may be pregnant
with great things. Hardly year with
out such changes in classes, masses or
nations as may be clearly noted and
described. The hurry and confusion of
a time of renaissance is always with
us. The cry for rest rises most often
from some community or class which
is finding the worlds pace too swift
and which fears that 1t Is being left
behind In the race. Rarely Is such a
cry raised In behalf of all men of all
nations and classes. OF this nature
is an appeal of the Spectator in re-
cent article headed by the query, "Will
This Generation Rest?" To prove the
many-sided phases of the desire for a
period of rest the journal writes, not
without its touches Of sarcasm: "The
statesmen certainly long for such n
period, for they are most of them
elderly men, and besides distrusting
much of what 1t called progress they
are little bewildered by the far
reaching effect of everything they do.
The Christian churches con-
fess the same desire for rest, for tran
guilty Is one of their avowed ends;
almost everything that happens an
noys or menaccs them, and amidst the
roar of theological and ecclesiastical
controversy they have sense of grow
ing deaf. Commercial men
declare that something is always hap
penlng or being invented. which be-
wilders them" And as to the thought
full men In the background of society
they are made out to be even more
panied, for they are said to find that
the thoughts of men of today are "like
atoms of quicksilver, which form no
solid;" that characters ARE not build.
ings but only sand heaps" and that
literature produces everything except
great poems, great dramas and great
IDEAS" And vet, the Spectator con-
fesses, the statesmen continue to rush
wildly for new territories, the church
men to struggle with rebellions against
ecclesiasticlsm, and the commercial
men to hunger ravenously for further
business conquests. The spectator is
without hope. For this generation ii
sees no sign of quiet, nor yet for the
next. 1t finds. to sum up briefly, that
the world is still too busy to know how
weary 1t really Is.

Republican Admissions.

The postoffice scandals have warmed
up so in the rear of that Republican
patriot and statesman, secretary of the
Republican National Committee and
erstwhile Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, Perry S. Heath, that he has fall
en- to explaining about his share in
them. He freely admits that there
We're irregularities during the war
with Spain, but claims that even the
Postmaster General and the Cabinet
sanctioned what was done. He con-
fesses that large amounts of money
We're used for purposes for which they
We're not appropriated, but says that
the idea that funds We're used for pri-
waite use is utterly silly" The war
with Spain being in progress the sol
'diers had to be supplied with mail and
to-put 1t In the language of the patriot
Heath, "There was no time to daily.
1t was up to us to get busy and get
busy quick From the charges and
rumors of the doings of the depart
ment during the busy reign of Perry
and the other patriots who lowered
around him-and names high up on the
Republican scroll of fame are men
'tlcued-there is no doubt that but lit
tie time was wasted in getting down
to business.
The redoubtable Perry does not men,
ton the Irregularities in the appoint
ments and promotions, but he does
say that Mr.. Tulloch, who has III,
some of the charges, was relieved by
Postmaster General Smith, which he
had n perfect right to do" and makes
further uncomplimentary remarks
about that gentleman which indicates
that he was an Obstacle" to Perry
and the Department. 1t was not long
after this that Perry was fitting out
the expedition to Cuba which looted
the Postotflce Department in that
country, in which Hanna's friend
Rathbone, and Perry's friend Nelly
met their Waterloo at the hands of
the ungrateful Cubans mud were con
victed of embezzlement and reposed
in Cuban bastilc until pardoned.
/. Many Republican patriots We're III
deed very busy In those days, making
hay while the sun ishonc, and laid the
ground work for most of the scandal
and disorder that is now partially
coming to light.
If some of the other departments
had the X-rays turned on them. not in
the subdued way in which the post
office investigation is being examined,
but in the full glare of the public
scrutiny and all had their just deserts,
there might be hardly enough Republi-
can leaders left unsmirched to hold the

All life-animal and vegetable-upon

by the frightful catastrophe that oc-
Cured in 1888, twenty years ago. Nat
uralists have availed themselves of the
opportunity thus afforded to observe
how naked lands are supplied with

Of nature microscopic algae were found
on the pumice with which the island
was covered. and in 1888 specimens of
fifteen Towering plants were discov-

cent of the plants sprung from seeds
cast up by waves Of the sea, little
less than one-third from seeds and
spores borne by the wind, and the rest
are attributed to birds. Already one
part of the island is covered by dense

Iowa Iden in New England.

quiry sent out last February by the

clared in favor Of giving up the tariff

found among the New England tan
