And we're ali tending earnest to biz,
Comes pause in the days occupation
While we see what the stock market is.
Samantha she takes out her glasses,
And sets them on straight o'er her friZ,
While we all sit around in silence
To know how the stock market is.
And, oh, our suspense can't be meas
To know if they've fallen or riz,
But soon ev'ry doubt is exringuished,
AS we hear how the stock market is.
In the last day at five" now wonder,
When the trumpets are blown with a

1t is quite probable, therefore, that
some of the so-called doctrines" of
Paine may even now be taught in theo-
logical schools. Certainly many of
them are prepared to handle the Bible
with little more reverence than he.
Many of "Paine's doctrines" doctrines
that he held or limited at, have since
become common property. Nobody or
thodox or infidel would dream of going
to his works today for a system of
theology or of atheism, any more than
he would of studying some text book on
natural science of the last century in
order to get fair idea of physics as
the term is now understood.
The day when '"Tom Paine" was a
name wherewith to scare bad little
children has gone. So has the day
when his name represented something
like a concrete and connected system
Of irreligion to be investigated. To put
it plainly, Paine, though a wonderfully
alert American and bold man in his
day, though not nearly as bad or as
dangerous as he has been painted, is

SAID to have stated that he will not
pear the odium, because President
Roosevelt knew all about the agree
ment between the Delaware senator's
and received a report on the removal
of Miss Todd.
There the matter stands, utthere it
will not be allowed to rest. Either
President Roosevelt smust disavow re-

party. or he must iconfess that civil
service reform principles have been
kicked into the gutter in order that a

has produced. The country awaits the

AND THIS is "REFoRM!u

A little town in the little state of
Delaware has furnished material for
a trouble that may end in disintegrat-
ing the administration. The postmis-
tress at Greenwood has been discharg-
ed. and a man appointed in her place.
and they are in the highest degree dis
creditable.
There is some reason to suppose
that in the compromise between the
faction of Addicks and that of his op-
ponents in the state, by which two SEN
ators were elected, the national admin
istration had voice. At least one of
the appointments made by it squinted
that way. But at any rate the terms
agreed upon between the two factions
are public property. Of the three coun-
ties into which Delaware is divided,
one senator was to control the patron
age Of two and the other of one. The
pie was placed openly on the table and
regularly divided.
Now this is at present at least the
accepted mode of doing things. To the
senators and representatives the public
patronage is turned over much as If
civil service reform had never been
heard Of But it is the custom to per-
nit off1ceholders to serve out their
terms unless some charges are made
against them. In the case of Miss
Todd this rule was violated, because
the Addicks men could not wait.
The trouble is now UP to the presi-
dent. His political fortunes have been
built upon the foundation of his pre-
tensions as civil service reformer.
If he is not sincere in that, it would
be hard to believe him sincere in any,
thing. Officially and unofficialIy he
has proclaimed that cause and upheld
it. Treason to it would be giving the
lie to most of his public life and prac-
tically all of his public utterances.
The case stands this way. Miss Todd
was not protected by civil service
rules, her office not being within the
classified service. She had performed
her duties, so far as known, without

and have it accomplished long enough
before a national election so that this
mystical prohibition could not apply
Consideration of the excuse advanced
shows it to be paltry humbug.
We are sorry for Senator Hoar, and
sorry for all other Republicans who
find themselves placed as he is. The
woods are full of them. The North
west produces them by hundreds of
thousands. They know that tariff re-
form is the duty of the hour. They
are bid to hold their tongues until
after election. Will they do it? Will
they accept the cold comfort of what
is not even a promise, and what is
falsified by it's own terms?
There will be no reform of the tariff
by the Republican party, either before
or after the election. Let no man be
taken in by the sad pretense with
which Senator Hoar consoles his judg-
ment and salves his conscience.
Tariff reform will be accomplished
by the Democratic party and no other.
Let that be the issue of the election
which Republicans so greatly fear.

At St. Paul Theaters


Theater- goers of the Metropolitan

during the past week to renew ae-
qUainance with stern old Squire Bart
lett, who believes in Twin cordin' to
the Scripters;" motherly Mrs. Bartlett,
his typical wife; Anna Moore, who was
more sinned against than SHINING; Da-
vid Bartlett, the farmers only son, and
the other family characters in Way
Down East" They have had an oppor-
tunity to chuckle with Hi Holler and
to smile with RUDE Whipple, the &C.
centric town constable. Way Down
East will close with a matinee this
afternoon and a performance tonight.
In the period of the Civil war a new
field has been found by StanlslauS
STANCE and Julian Edwards for comic
opera endeavor. That it is productive
field is evidenced by the new comic
opera when Johnny Comes Marching
Home" which will be presented by the
Whitney Opera company at the Metro
politan tomorrow night for four nights
and a Wednesday matinee.
Women and children will have an OPP
portunity today at the Grand to wit
ness a pleasing performance given by
the child actress, little Lillian Rose
wood, as Gertie, in THE Price of
Honor" The play still continues to
draw large audiences. The last per-

PURE RUM FOR CHICAGO.

Pure Food Commissioner Patterson,
of Chicago, is about to make war on
these unrighteous ones who make a
practice of putting bad liquor under
good labels with intent to deceive. If
Patterson wins he will have accom-
deed he will have started the Chicago
man on the road to regeneration.
Chicago has not been particular
about its whisky. The Chicago man
who drinks whisky does so because it
brings the drunk. He will not admit
it, but he likes whisky in considerable
quantities because it makes him forget
that he lives in Chicago. He doesn't
much care when it was made so that
it be old according to the label, and, in
an indefinite sort of way, is under the
impression that it is made on the West
side. In this latter he is more often
right than not. He feels that it should
not be served in glasses but in tin
cups, forgetting that glass does not

quality be very poor, even when used
repeatedly to carry Chicago whisky.
A man cannot be morally right who
drinks Chicago booze, therefore is Pat
terson to be regarded as a reforner.
More power to him. IL;
incidentally the campaign of Patter-
son might be extended beyond Evans
ton and Waukegan without doing any
harm. 1t does not appear to be pos
sible to prevent men from drinking
whisky. 1t brings a pretty good price
in the retail market and there is no
reason why it should not be furnished
the consumer comparatively pure. The
ancient joke about all whisky being
good, but some relatively better has
outlived it's usefulness since some COM
Founders have discovered methods for
producing whisky from alcohol, paint
and rain water.
Much might be done for the cause
Of temperance and sobriety if the man
who sells whisky that he knows to be
bad for a good article could be sent to
Jail and fed for ninety days out of the
policeman's bottle.

The gale sprang up with sudden
Jury from the southwest, and the wind
pew with velocity at times reaching
seVenty-two miles an hour. This con-
tlnued several hours. All the coast
towns suffered, and the Agricultural
regions in the interior report incalcu-
ldpIe damage, owing to the late har-
vest. The beautiful hop gardens oP
Kent have been ruined. and in manv
places the valleys of the Thames and

deaths from drowning, reports from

ing from the storm.
From Dungeness it is reported that
yachts crew. numbering eight
men, were drowned. At Southsea sew
eral bodies have been washed up.
Poole, Whitstable and Portsmouth all
report wrecks and fatalities. A dere-

tressed bark off Weymouth. There
were no signs of life on the vessel
and it is supposed that her crew were
drowned.

CONCERNING TOM PAINE.

The clergyman who has discovered,
or thinks he has discovered, that the
doctrines of Tom Paine" are being
taught by somebody in one or more
theological schools has found mares
nest Probably he has never read the
works in question. Few people have
nowadays, and few care to. If they
were more generally studied there
would be more rational opinions about
them.
1t was the fortune of Thomas Paine
to write at a time when the odium
theologicum was very intense, and be-
fore the world had been leavened by
modern thought. He belonged to the
period of ferment when revolutions in
government and in religious belief were
the order of the day. He said with
more vehemence and less caution what
a great many men of his day thought,
but guarded with reserve. Therefore he
has come down to us as the typical in
fidel.
For a generation or more the name
of Tom Paine was the bugaboo of the
orthodox. Not even Bob Ingersoll in
his time was more cordially hated or
more deeply dreaded. The works of
Paine were regarded as. the widest and
most brutal exposition of atheism. To
be known to possess them or to have
read them was to wear the badge of
the lost. And that is the opinion still
held by great many people as a tradi-
ton, without knowledge at first hand.
We should not advise them to seek it.
Paine's theories Of government are not
now especially novel reading. Paine's
theology is still less valuable. In part
his ideas were merely the old ridicule of
certain religious ideas which have never
hurt anybody or given concern to
thoughtful men. In part they are posi-

Contemporary Comment
This Suggestion Is Not Wise.

The New York Sun suggests that, in
view of President Roosevelts use of the
public vessels, there should be reg
ular appropriation for the presidents
personal marine" The Sun suggests
that 100000 be appropriated annually
for the presidents yachting expenses.
In the first place. the suggestion is
preposterous. To pay president $780,
600 year salary, and tack on ten times
that amount for yachting expenses,
would be idiotic. Besides, as we have
seen, one yacht, no matter how well
managed would not suffice, since Mr..
Roosevelt has required three for him
self and his family.
1t is bad enough to have the presi-
dent using NATIONAL without au-
thority for private purposes. But it
would be still worse to appropriate
100000 a year for one single branch of

THE PENNSYLVANIA CRATER.

There is a theroughness about the
thievery of the Pennsylvania who is
sufficiently strong politically to be-
come CRATER that is calculated to
stir the admiration of those other
grafters who merely take that which is
loose and not too strongly claimed.
The Pennsylvania CRATER, unlike his
contemporary in Washington is not
particular to confine himself to the
large affairs of government. The Phil
adelphia scavenger CRAFTS with the en-
thusiastic spirit that moves his fellow
in the senate at Harrisburg. The only
difference between the two is that the
scavenger carries off the city's refuse
and compels tribute from the citizens,
while the statesman makes it unsafe
for a coal mine or a railroad to lay out
of doors after dark.
The latest development of field for
thievery Is in the penitentiary, in the
shadow of an institution whose very
existence should be warning to those
whose behavior is regulated by fear of
consequences. The state has engaged
in the manufacture of cigars and to-
bacco-and this in spite of the protest
of free labor. Within the prison a ring
has been operating whose purpose was
stealing such pickings as might be
found about a politically administered
YIant Tho rnnmharS of +I1n crancr found
petty thievery so easy that they have
gone into it on larger scale and have
been stealing raw material and manu-
featured tobacco with total disregard
to the rights of their fellow crooks as
we'll as to the rights of property. The
result of their enthusiasm has been the
uncovering of their scheme through the
carrying off of some $4,000 cigars. Now
there will be an investigation and if
some honest judge should be discov-
cred it might take all the influence of
Quay and his lieutenants to keep some
Of their subordinates out of jail
In Pennsylvania, as elsewhere, po-
litical rottenness begins at the top. If
the state could be reclaimed from the
bosses it might be possible to prevent
the petty politicians from becoming
thieves by removing them from the
surroundings of temptation. But there
isn't much hope for crowd that will
break into the penitentiary in order to
steal.
