Silence Too Profound.


Congressman William Z. Lowering
of Massachusetts, told this story of the
late TON" Reed, the other evening:
1T was one of those long night ses-
sions in the house when the Dingley
tariff bill was in the conference COM
lnittee. and we We're all worrying lest
The debate on the measure, when it
should emerge, would pass all the
bounds of our strength and patience.
Il went to the speakers desk al one
stage and asked Mr.. Reed if he would
entertain a resolution to the effect that
no one should be allowed to speak on
the tariff unless he had something new
to say. Mr.. Reed gave me one of those
quZZical looks of his and drawled out:
Mr.. Lowering, tyrannical as ! am,
thoroughly depraved and bad as | am,
l have not yet reached the point of
heartlessness, where can condemn this
house to silence as profound as that
resolution would entail. l will not en-

The BALKAN REVOLUTION.

| There seems some reason to hope that
the Macedonian revolution may bring
about Intervention in Turkish affairs
that will eventually result in more de-
cent and liberal government o. Turkish
possessions. The insurgents, accord

among the mountain passes in the
| guerilla warfare which obtains always
among mountaineers. The Turkish
| troops are at a disadvantage against
the revolutorists, acquainted with the
broken country, aided by the people and
trained to irregular fighting. That the
instruction will hold out long enough
to give the anxious European powers an
excuse to intervene to force the per-
Torrance of the sultan's pledges of re-
form is to be hoped.
The sultan must permit this inter-
vention with what grace he may lest
worse thing happen to him. Russia is
ready 70 move upon Turkey with a con-
quering army. Austria is strengthening
her reserves and her garrisons on the

THE MAN TO BE ENvIED.
Huntington Hawkeye.l

The wisest rule is to envy no onG.
II you could peep behind the curtain;
If the inner life and the history of 9TH
ers We're revealed to US. we would cling
to our own burdens and would be will
ing to exchange with none. If the
phrase Ito envy" does not sound we'll,
say emulate. There is one man In
America, and just one, whom all others
finance, who piles millions upon mill
lions and may "go broke" tomorrow.
1t is not the man who wears out his
nerves and his life in the chase after
the elusive office. who bends his thought
and energy TO gaining few of the more
or less thoughtful and discriminating
votes. 1t is not the captain of industry,
who tolls day and night upon a favorite
enterprise only TO go down in panic
1t Is not any one of a dozen or more
other classes upon whom fortune seems
to smile, but who have probably Won
their success at terrible cost.
The happiest man In America is the
successful Iowa farmer. And he knows
1t. and he does not hesitate to So in
form his friend in the city. He is vir-
tually the monarch of all he surveys.
He enjoys all the comforts that money
can purchase. He has his piano, his
library, his newspaper. his daily mail.
He fears no political changes; the fin
ancial earthquake disturbs him not; the
soil yields him sure re-
turns for his labor. He knows not
nervous trouble nor insomnia, and I'M
like his city brother he can enjoy the
luxury of fresh vegetables, fresh but
ter real milk, fresh eggs, etc. He does
not lie awake O nights, worrying over
the money or any other kind of market
He has his troubles, the man or woman
never was born, who has them not, but
they are no greater than those of others
and he has on the credit side very many
and conveniences that the
others lack. He enjoys above all that
feeling of security, which the man on
a salary or the man in business never Il
enjoys. He is sure against almost any
calamity. There is naught to make
him afraid. He is richer than many
who are envied and admired by the |
he is richer and happier |
than any Of the princes of the old I
world: he is the uncrowned king of his |
own section of the fairest and best land
on earth.

pugLIcArIoN OF SPORTING NEWS.

The Burlington Gazette asserted edl-

flown" in the same issue that 1t gave
half page to description of the man

administered TO Mr.. James Corbett

The intimate to be gathered from the
Hawkeye which calls attention to the
apparent incongruity of sentiment and
action Is that the Gazette is inconsist-
mt in publishing an account of the
light while holding the belief that such
mhibitions should be suppressed.
There was, however, nothing incon-
astent about it. The Gazette is pub
fishing a newspaper and the people
awaited the news. Most people read the
fntire account from the handshake to

Ines which told briefly the length and
outcome of the struggle. There were,
perhaps. few who avoided the page

FAST SPEED ON RAILWAYS.

The most serious obstacle to high
speed on steam or electric railways is
the inability to stop heavy trains quick
ly. The speed limit of the electrically
driven ear is yet unknown. That a
continuous speed of more than 100
properly built and ballasted track Is
certain and it is quite as sure that the
brake power of the most modern appli-
cation is insufficient to stop train fly
Ing at such lightning speed quickly
enough to make an accident always
avoidable.
trical journal DR.. Louis Bell attempts
to prove that the fatalities on electric
roads are on the increase. but defends
the brake against the burden of acct
dent. On most cars in city streets and
on country roads where serious mishaps
occur the brakes are. In his judgment.
spected with adequate frequency. He
also credits the average motor1nan with
intelligence and sobriety. The weakest
point in the system. then. seems to be
the inability of this employe to esti-
mate accurately the distance over
which danger should be expected. Re-
cent tests have shown that in order to
stop a car weighing eighteen tons and
running from twelve to eighteen miles
an hour a run of from 100 to 200 feet is
requisite. The best kind of power or
emergency brake will do the work in
the former distance. while hand brake
needs all of the latter. To these fig
ures, however DR.. Bell would add 80
per cent as a margain of safety. He
then strongly urges upon the managers
OF trolley roads the duty of disseminate
ing information concerning this revela-
ton and of training the men practically
to know what these distances are.
Nevertheless the brake on steam
driven trains has been found inadequate
to the highest speeds attained and
large proportion of the more serious ac-
cfdents is attributable to this inadequa-
cy. That motornen and engineers are
sometimes ignorant and careless is not
to be doubted. The great need for the
utilization of the high speed powers,
however. is the absolutely safe and eff
fective brake.

A BIG GRAFT.
IRnnnn Nn,,.rl


a diabolcal scheme that is being
worked with success in the northwest
ern part of Iowa. and in the Dakotas
emphasizes the admonition that has
often been made thru the neyvspap ne 5
that one should not be in a hurry to
accept Il c. Q. d. package to a dead
relative.
BY playing on the tender feelings Of
bereaved friends and relatives, by
working on upon the superstitions con-
corning death, and employing grea.
ingenuity, clever men are making thou
sands of dollars all over the country,
by operating this graft game The
game is in it's infancy in the west bus
it is claimed that in the Dakotas, and
especially in the country about the city
of Grand Forks, n. D.. promoters have
raked in harvest of $4,000 in the past
two months. This is the way the
scheme is worked.
Names of all persons who die are
obtained and sent TO some city or. town
some distance away, together with the
address of the deceased. These ad
dresses are taken and express packages
containing few worthless articles sent
c. O. d. to the dead persons. or rather
are marked with the name of the dead
people and sent TO their late addresses.
The packages of course reach their
destination. and relatives are there to
meet and receive them. They receive
the parcels and gladly pay $3.50 or IS
that may be charged. The natural
feeling is to receive anything
sent to a dead brother, sister or father
regardless of cost and expense. There
lies the strength of the game.
The better the class of people the
better the game works for they are the
first TO receive parcels. Some have been
known to, upon examination, set the
packages aside for three or four weeks
before opening them, and perhaps they
may never open them, SO strong is the
superstition and feeling connected with
the case.
