The Eradication Of Bribery.

| Under our form of government all
authority is vested in the people and
by them delegated to those who rep
resent them in official capacity. Ev-
cry power possessed by an official
belongs not to him, but to the people.
He is the trustee Of an express trust
to be administered for the public
good, not for private gain. If all Of
flcials were corrupt and all official
acts were for sale, then government
would soon become the debauched
tyranny Of the few with wealth
enough to purch He official favors.
The official who would betray his
trust would sell his country if he
could. He is traitor Of peace--more
dangerous than the traitor of war.
The greatest enemies Of the republic
today are the takers and givers of
brides.
Late exposures in city, state and
nation give some idea of the rotten
ness that exists. IT our Institutions
are to be preserved this corruption
must be stamped out. The disgrace
is in tolerance, not in correction. No
state or nation can be injured by get
ting rid Of physical or moral filth.
The only honest and patriotic course
is to apply the knife Of the law to
the cancerous growth and remove it
before it eats into and destroys civic
life.
No more serious question conffonts
the American people than the eradi-
cation Of bribery Other problems
concern the functions Of government,
while this strikes at the foundation
of the government itself. Other of.
fences violate the laws, while brib-
cry poisons the very foundation of
law.-From an interview with Joseph
w. Folk of ST. Louis.

Filchers Frustrated.

On Tuesday afternoon of last week
three Milwaukeeans constable, at
torney and straugerl arrested a
young man residing at Linden and
brought him to this city, where they
kept him prisoner until about noon
on the day following. The district
attorney, on hearing of the arrest,
made inquiry, aud was informed that
the young mau was being detained
on charge of bastardy, and thar an
effort was being made to secure from
him $i00 by way of compromise.
without the knowledge or consent Of
the authorities Of either Milwaukee
or Iowa county.
Finding that the situation was get
ting rater warm, the Milwauk eeans
hurri6ly left the city in q carriage
with their prisoner. At the request
of the district attorney, who was en-
gagged in another matter, attorney
Ernest c. Fielder followed the Mil
waukee parties and overlook them
rs they boarded the afternoon train
at Calamiue, where the Mineral
Point attorney administered a severe
reprimand to the Milwaukee gentle
men. Mr. Fielder then telegraphed
the district attorney of Milwaukee
and proceeded to that city, and upon
their arrival there the prisoner was
promptly released.
The result is that our county is re-
lieved from liability to Milwaukee
county for the support of the Iowa
county girl who is now at Milwaukee.

anything which looked suspiciousiy

were made by the men to avoid vigil
ance of the guards aud to smuggle the
contraband article through the lines.
A few succeeded by stealth 10 getting
their beer through, but the men who
openly defied the order we're met with
a decided obstacle in the person of

So long as the walls of building are
sound and the bricks or stones, well
cemented together, offer no assures or
cracks for the plant to force its way
into, there is nothing whatever to fear.
Should the ivy, however find an open
ing, and so thrust itself into the wall,
the natural and continuous expansion
of its parts will tend to loosen the
stones and hasten the decay of the
building.
A fair growth of ivy on sound walls
that allow of no advances beyond the
superficial attachment Of the claspers
or aerial roots, as they are called, Is al
together beneficial. 1t promotes dry
ness and warmth, counteracts the cor.
rosive action of the atmosphere and is
at once a shelter and an ornament.
These aerial roots are not sources of
nutrition, but merely serve as mechan-
ical support to the climbing ivy The
contention that they sap the whole OF
the moisture from mortar, leaving II
excessively dry and crumbling, has
therefore no foundation in fact.-Lon-

At one time the officers under Lord
Howe refused to drink his health at
their mess, for, though a splendid i'd
miral, he was not popular in the navy
on account of a certain shyness and
want Of tact with those about him.
The chaplain. who was protege of his
lordship. was mortified at this and de-
termined that the officers should drink
to Lord Howe. When called upon for
toast one day he said, "Well, gentle
men. | can think of nothing better at
this moment than TO ask you to drink
the first two words of the Third Psalm,
for 4 Scriptural toast for once may be
taken from one of my cloth The
toast was drunk. Not one of the Off

The annihilation OF Distance.

How much nearer to each other
the nations Of the world seem to be
today and really are today than was
the case a few decades ago. When
weeks and months were required for
communications between the United
states and Europe the countries OF
the old world appeared to be II long
way off. Now the circumference of
old earth is belted with telegraph
and cable lines in every possible di-
rection. What happens today in

South America and the great islands
of the sea is made known to us to.

the Chicago Record Herald. whose
foreign correspondents are located
in every important city in the world

the Record Herald enjoys the for

Herald, famous for many years for
the reliability of its foreign news,
the New York World, and also of
the great cooperative news gather

Press. No other daily newspaper in
America possesses facilities so var
led and extensive for covering the
