DEMOCRACY OF FRANCE.
A Contented Country Where "The
 Other Man" is Never Out of Job.

Will Carleton's Magazine.
 There was wealth of meaning in a re- mark which a hired representative of the city of Paris made to one of the family of Every Where" as we stood together on the curb one bright spring morning
 They were watering the streets of that great city; the tank was drawn by two horses. On the front were two men. And both were busy.
 One drove the horses and his mate pull ed the string at the crossings etc. It was all carefully done, and they seemed to enjoy their work.
 Then 1t was suggested carelessly, per haps. We do those things different in America There is need for but one man. The way we do it is this: The man drives the horses and also uses his feet. He sim ply watches his opportunity and then, with his hands on the rein, presses the spring. and then you get all the water you want"
 "Is that so?" asked the captain of the gendarmes, and a smile, not to be for gotten. came over the veterans face, as he simply remarked again with shoul- der shrug: "Oui, monsieur but what would the other man be doing? He would be out of job. wouldn't hep
 Tine officer had been through several revolution in PaIis-the one which put Charles x on the throne the next of '4B, which dethroned Louis Philippe. the other in '52, which placed Louis Napoleon where he thought he belonged. and the last. which taught the third Napoleon that he belonged nowhere.
 It was interesting to hear that veteran captain talk but it was that one thing that clnched the thought and produces this writing.
 What is the other man going to do?"
 To leave France and come to America. Every sensible manufacturer, who does not permit the greed of wealth to eat up his bones ought to ask himself that lit tie question. What is the other man go- ing to do?"
 There are stunted men, drivelling chill dren, yearning and unhappy wives all over our own glorious continent. A large ma ajority of them have come from the overcrowded lands of the Old World
 Overcrowded-Why? Misgovernment is the answer.
 Whatever may be said against France. and however one may consider their po- sition in Europe, there is one thing that very man in that nation knows how to do: He takes care of ''The Other Man" That is, he gives his neighbor employ ment, if he has any to give.
 The statistics of the United States show that there are fewer Frenchmen here than from any other similar territory on the other side. The reason is this: They are satisfied to stay al home, because their genius for living has resolved itself Into an exact truth; We are happy while we are at work. There is no other real happiness on this planet, and there will not probably be a different solution to happiness in the next,

MOSTLY SCARE
IS THE oLAMoR ABOUT THE
 CORN CROP BEING RUINED.
Not Believed at Chicago-Yield May Be Curtailed, Say Experts, But No "Disaster" is Ex-
 pected.

Chicago Special
 Despite a widespread visitation of frost the cornhelds of the West are going on about their business of pouring SOO,OOO,OUJ bushels of grain into the nations lap That is the minimum figure set by men whose Judgment is expert and whose yer diet Is unbiased. Alarmists are fast be- coming discounted. The national calam- tty" is not actual. Sober-minded men generally disbelieve that it is even pros pective.
 q don't believe Kansas corn has been injured one dollars worth by frost, sad MT. Paul Morton, Vice-President of the Santa Fe Road today. Corn is too far advanced in that State to be much hurt Kansas will produce 20O,0OO,O00 bushels of marketable corn"
 Mr. Morton has returned from trip West and speaks from observation. His statement that there has been no dam age whatever is regarded as the hyper bole of an enthusiast, but upon the main intent of his words much reliance IS placed.
 Calamity howls today were few and Tee ble Two cores spondents-One in Nebras- ka and the other in Wisconsin-reported that the frost proved a good thing for well advanced corn in that it facilitated the maturing and hardening process.
 B. W. Snow, crop statstician, former ly with the Department O. Agriculture, is one who estimates a crop of 2,@OO,WO,OO bushels of marketable corn. That the frosts have somewhat curtailed yield and impaired quality he believes, but he has no sympathy with the prognosticators who talk of ruin" and "crop disasters" "
 Indiana's State Statistician believes that the crop of that State would be reduced from 14O. GOO 600 to 12OO00,eoo bushels by a skilling' frost tonight Frost is expected y4,bat will ha a ''bll1n uiDnPr'' simply or a grain shriveler remains to he seen.

BASEBALL FOR CONNECTS.
The Game is Found to Improve the
 Conduct of Prisoners.

In the Massachusetts State prison at Charleston Warden Bridges has intrcduc- ed ball playing as a means of discipline among the convicts and is much gratifed with the results. says a recent report.
 Not only has the game given the pris- oners relaxation from cell life and the workshop. but 1t has afforded a diver sion for their minds, breath of fresh air and a look at the blue heavens above And rot the least result of all is the im- provement in the discipline. No unruly prisoner can participate in the geme, and many man naturally fractious has been good" just for the chance to ge. out in the prison yard and play game of baseball.
 Next to a pardon or an expiration of sentence, permission to play ball or see a nal game Is the greatest boon that can pc conferred upon any prisoner. To be deprived of the privilege of being a player or spectator is the greatest punish ment prisoner can receive. He had much rather go into solitary" than lose a game of ball.
 The inmates have two hines. called this year the Resolutes and the Hustlers, and they play every fair weather Saturday rom May to October. Every player Is prisoner, and the umpires are likewise in- mates. The league rules are followed strictly and the umpire is obeyed. In taOI' IHo dpSence or Kicking" among the Charleston prisoners shows them in an enviable light in comparison with some or the players seen on the league grounds. Ihe two teams play for championship nonors, and every game is written up'' Tor the prison paper, The Mentor
 Ground rules naturally prevail, owing 10 the smallness of the prison yard, but tnere Is room enough for 200 spectators. all prisoners. Some have seats and others who stand called "the bleachers" The games are played with just as much zeal, earnestness and cheers as any profes sional game, and some of the playing. is really professional in its quality In fact, one of the leading pitchers is an old Boston league pitcher. fIi
 The experiment has proved so success tul that General Bridges will maintain 1t. This is one of the many sensible things that he has introduced into prison life, and he deserves credit for 1t. General Bridges's work at Charleston is attracting attention beyond the State and it Is prac- ucal, sensible innovations such as this which make him an ideal man for such a place

The cantons of France have stood the conquest of Caesar; they have withstood all the corruptions of their Kings from the time of the first Louis to the appear ance of Bonaparte. And in spite of that great conqueror's pretended democracy, they have withstood Bonaparte himself. and also all his successors.
 According to MT. Carlyle. they are a bumptuous, rebellious people: When writing of them. the Scotchman seems to feel like the Englishman who gets up In the pleasant morning, feeling we'll in the sunshine, and says: Fine morning let's go and kill something" That is not the real Frenchman.
 Neither Caesarism nor Carlyleism is go- Ing to kill France. Their system of gov ernment antedates the Christian era. It Is founded on the pure rock of democracy -domokros-a government by the people themselves. They live together, they like each other. and they do not like to see anybody cut of work.
 In other words. they know exactly what to do with The Other Man."

happened on the s. s. Dolphin during the recent inspection trip of the naval committee. Congressman Roberts of Massachusetts, was of the party. Ap preaching Gunners Mate Spoer, of the ship, Mir. Roberts offered him a dollar to hit sea gull. Spoer took a forty pound six millimeter Colts automa lie gun and, after a trial shot, he popped a sea gull on the fly at 400 yards. The shot Was discussed by onlookers. One was firm in his declaration that the shot was an acidental one; whereupon Spoer shot another gull at $50 yards, The crowd of astonished witnesses to the fact firmly came to the conclusion that Spoer was the crack shot of the ship. Spoer modestly disclaimed, saying, "We've shipload of 'em, sir It is needless to say that Spoer got his dollar-a nice new silver one, engraved with Congressman Roberts's initials,

Beyond the Vatican.

 The news that the Pope has given dlrec- tions looking to putting the Lateran Pal ace in repair has an important bearing The Lateran was the summer palace of the Popes unti: Plus TX declared himself a prisoner in the Vatican It Is inferred that Plus x intends to restore the Lat eran to its former use; hence. that he would no longer confine himself to the limits of the Vatican, -nd thus would cor respondngly modify the policy of his two predecessors. It would be quite in keep ing with the Pope's reputation for sound sense in worldly as well as spiritual af- fairs for him to take a step that gave practical recognition to his appreciation of the fact that the map of Italy has changed and cannot be restored to the shape it had before Victor Emmanuel en- tered Rome.

NATIONAL ANTHEM.
Worthy the Greatness of America is
 Sadly Needed.

Philadelphia Record.
 One thing that this country needs is a
 national anthem worthy of its greatness. Obviously America cannot serve as such. for. although irreproachable from a musical viewpoint, 1t Is only God Save the King with new setting of words, and belongs rightly to Great Britain. As for ''The Star Spangled Banner" which has been declared the national anthem by the Navy Department, it is a miserable makeshift, with only its patriotic senti- ment to recommend 1t, being, a mediocre composition both as to words and music
 One of the chief requisites of national anthem. which in it's choral form is in- tended to be sung by many voices. is that the tones used in its melody should not exceed the compass of ordinary voices. The words. too. should be remembered asly and should combine simplicity with dignity. Now. "The Star Spangled Ban ner" Is wanting in these respects; it's words are not easily remembered, and its range of tone is trying to the ordinary voice, while musica1ly 1t lacks the in spring swing of such foreign national songs as "Die Wacht am Rhein" or "The Marseillaise." When we add to this the fact that Keys inelegance of diction lays his verse open to the charge of being ungrammatical, 1t is easy to see that '"rhe Star Spangled Banner is not the anthem which should voice the patriotism of a There Is plenty of musical talent in Amer lea Here is the chance for our com posers to distinguish themselves

 It will astonish not few people to be told that the most valuable of our crops, excepting only corn. wheat and hay, is eggs. The lay of the American hen is worth about s3OO000,OO a year.

FURTHER DETAILS.

Rabbi Brodsky, of the Russian Syna-
gogue. at Newark, n. j., has received from
Kisheneff. where he had lived, letter
written by Abraham Greenfield, sexton
Of the Synagogue of the Berhera. The
letter in part follows; "Our stores and
houses were destroyed by the Russians,
who fell upon us unexpectedly. Many
people were murderously attacked on
The streets. They did not pity old men,
women or children. Do you remember
Morrila. the restaurant keeper? Well,
Morrila's daughter was i'll when Y ras-
calls dressed in red, broke into the home
and destroyed everything. A little girl
was thrown out of the window, and
Baska. the uniucky mother, was muir
derously assaulted. She died two hours
later. Her husband, Zoreb, took
stick to hit one Of the rascals, but
policeman stuck him in the face with a
sword and made him totally bind.
Moses Atlas, "A, whom many people IN
Newark know, was tied up and taken
TO the roof of the hotel and from there
hurled to the ground. He was dead
when we found him. Shocmah, the
teacher, who, you know, was
hunehback, was taken from his home.
They drove nails six inches deep into his
hump. He is now in the hospital, and
is not expected to live. David TanzuZs
daughter, a girl of 10, was working at
cigarettemaking. She was dragged into
a barn. When next seen she was dead,
her body cut nearly to pieces. WIN
blood and pain we write this letter.
We don't know yet what has happened
in the state. We expect to retreat as
soon as possibletO Danbernia, Kratahna.
God alone knows whether we will ever
live to send this letter to you. Dear
Rabbi Brodsky, if my letter does reach
YOU. notify the whole American people.
Let me know whether or not you can
publish it. They won't allow anything
to be published here about the trouble.
Then the American people know, why
our people go to America, the land OF
the free"
There is rumor in Washington that
the authorities have placed detectives
around the Russian embassy, and that
an attack on the life of Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, is feared. Count
Cassini does not feel thathe is in danger
He continues to talk with amazing frank
ness, apparently utterly regardless OF the
hostile criticism his words arouse. He
declined to make any comment on the re-
marks of the Philadelphia rabbis who
discussed him and his government with
out gloves in yesterdays papers, saying
that his official position forbade his tax
ing any notice of their statements.
'But," he continued with amazing
naivete, II really cannot understand
what all this noise is about. Do net dis
turiances sometimes occur in Other cOun-
tries-Austria, Germany, Turkey, and
even in this country-despite all efforts
of the government officials to preserve
order Has not the Russian government
taken prompt measures to punish all
those persons responsible for. permitting
any outrages which may have occurred?
At least this il what ] heard from the
newspapers. Officially have no direct
information in the matter.
