Is making millions at the expense of honor a profitable occupation, in the minds of financiers who are now being tried at the moral bar? asks the editor of Golfers. To form a vast combina- ton. knowing it to be so watered as to be unsafe. and to bargain for your own gains at the expense of those who trust you-what is the name for that? No number of technical schools founded by the. executer of such deal can clear his record. any more than mawk- ish noralizing and founding colleges can cleanse the life Of man who has conspired against the law; with the aid of bribery. to crush competitors. 1t is depressing to have smirch on financiers who have heretofore seemed faithful to their trusts. If they were in such dire want of few millions more, why did they not say so, and let us help them out, instead of giving an other blow to our confidence In them and in human nature? With million aires willing to be sharpers, in order to get more millions; with politicians stealing from the people in city, state and nation, and habitually using men, women and children as mere pawns III a private game to capture wealth; with yellow papers plunging their readers into dirt and danger for business and circulafion-the love of money may fairly be called aCsickness in our colln- try. Unhappily " e cannot "a fffhese reeking instances exceptions. Other departments in the government are only less eaten with corruption than the postoffice. Little cities have their rings. as well as big ones. The more that is learned about corporate methods the more universal seems the willing ness to trick the public. -3 Corruption, caused by the opportunity which all have, in this country, for worldly prog ress. and by the desire for fast ad- vancement, is undeniable and vast. Leaders in business enterprise are among the least excusable when they juggle, for they are men who have had opportunity to acquire understanding which should forbid dishonest gain, .These men" said Judge Grosscup, 1sbring nothing to humanity but suffer ing and leave nothing to mankind but disgrace To send one of them to jail would do more good than the punish ment of dozen walking delegates or gambling kings.

beat and buTldoze wife7
 eI have been thinking again about my mother-in-law. I don't think ever met up with better hearted woman. She is always ready to sacrifice herself for others, and she seems to take de light in doing good deeds. There have been times when she has talked to me in the plainest manner and when I have wondered why on earth she couldn't die in decent and respectable way. but when come to think things over I realize that was in the wrong. do hope that her illness is nothing se- rious.s As soon as the office is open in the morning I'll send telegram of i'm quiry. If she's no better I'll go up on the noon train. Should Providence see fit to call her from earth away she shall have tombstone costing at least $25o and with a lamb on top at that. trust, however, that she may live for fifty. years yet.

Perhaps won't have long talk with her when she gets home and threaten divorce. It was only natural that she should want to go and see her sick mother, and I don't know that I should hold it up against her. Taken all around, Mrs. Bowser is pretty good woman.

they'd shut me up pretty quick, and I know it. If she lives to come back she will find me different man. I was in tending to tell her that it was all her fault about the cook leaving and that she could never keep any girl four weeks under her system, but didn't have time and am now glad I didn't. Her system of running the house is all right.
 T have slept again, but only for few minutes. A patrolman came along and leaned up against the gate and coughed like horse. I went up to the window and asked him why he didn't knock his head off with his own club, and he said if I'd come down he'd make me holler in about two minutes.
 ttI've been thinking some more. Of course my mother-in-law couldn't help being taken sick, and shouldn't have spoken of her as did. She may be iron jawed, but at the same time she is good hearted. She is great hand to boss aronnd when she comes to see me, but that's only natural. She has sometimes said that she would like the handling of me for about half an hour and that

The report of Fourth Assistant Post master General Bristow on the post office frauds has been placed in the hands of the president, consisting of over 10000 words, with appendices sufficient to make nearly 100000 words. It is said that only a con densed version will be published. If the parts that will be given to the pub lie contain the real meat of the vol luminous report, the condensation will be desirable, as but few people have time to read the whole report, but there will be intense dissa tisfaction if the public version is garbled for par tisan purposes. The voters want to know who are the guilty ones, whether the statute of Limitations has covered their doings or not, and nothing less than the exposure of the whole crowd will satisfy them. The only punish ment the people seem able to bring upon their unworthy servants, is by preventing them from again occupying official positions, and that can only be accomplished by the truth being told of all connected with the scandals from the highest to the lowest. Any at tempt to suppress the evidence of the participation of those high in the re- publican counsels in the frauds will not satisfy those honestly in favor of reform, and will be met by the demand for the publication of the whole report, cost what it may. The partisan repub- lican press will report but little of the damaging details of the connection of it's own officials of the highest class with the scandals, but the facts will be culled by the newspapers that serve the people if they are allowed access to the truth.
