a MAN WHO LIED NOT.

COL. JOS. BARTON CHANDLER OF
y Chicago has been called to the other
snOre. The fact would hardly be worth
ustic.ns IL it were not for statement
ir the biography OF the colonel. Ii is
said or him, and we are compelled 10
believe that the chronicler is biased in
his favor. that he never told lie or
swore an oath. No. the colonel did
not die En- early childhood He lived to
the age of sixty-odd long enough 20
accumulate comfortable fortune.
We are told that on one occasion,
rnder great provocation. Colonel Chan
der - FAR forgot himself as TO say
"Confound it," Hardly had the awful
words escaped his lips than he regret
ted hem, and for days he mourncd
over his error. Trnly it was "A grave
lapse for SO good man. and we would
griove with tne colonel over il il ne
we're still on earth. AS IL is. we sup

every day in this world and. nobody

GALVESTON is REBUILT.

THE CITY OF GALVESTON Tsx
L is striking example of what
American grit and push and energy can
! accomplish when American citizens nut
! their shoulders to the wheel. II is only
a little while since the world was an
/ palled by disaster that had apparent
! ly swept Galveston out of existence.
a great tidal wave had arisen from the
ocean and, accompanied by tremen-
dous storm. had destroyed hundreds Of
lives and millions of dollars worth Of
property.
Had Galveston been in almost any
other country in the world it would
have been abandoned Immediately.
But with the characteristic pluck OF
the American citizen. her people
promptly set about the work Of rebuild
ing their ruined homes. their business
houses and their great wharves. How
well they have succeeded is best told
in some figures recently put out by the
Galveston chamber of commerce.
We are told that in 1902 567 vessels.
with an aggregate tonnage OF 1.227, -
6S5 tons. sailed out Of the harbor of
| Galveston. The total value of the
goods carried by these vessels was
SS47. 992. 163. The clearings of Calves
tons banks in 1902 aggregated $685., IO4.-
600. Cotton for seventeen different for
eign ports. located in eleven countries
was handled on the Galveston docks
and carried away by ships clearing
from that port
Thus briefly. in facts and figures Is
told the story of Galveston's rehabili-
, tatiOn. And 1t is a record in which all
American citizens. as we'll as the citi
zens Of Galveston. may properly view
with pride and pleasure. A letter TO
The Herald from j. II. Johnston. spc-
rotary Of the Galveston chamber of
commerce. contains other interesting
statements relative to past achieve
ments and future possibilities. Mr..
Johnston says:
You viii note that We have several
steamship lines to nearly all important
ports in Europe and nine trunk lines Of
railroad 10 carry the surplus products
Of the southwest to and the manufac-
tured products Of the Atlantic sea-
board and Europe from. this great
gateway. We have minimum depth
of twenty-seven feet of water in our
channel which viii soon be increased to
thirty feet. Our docks are but one
hours run from the deep sea.
Our wharfage capacity is unlimited:
but we now have improved and
equipped with every Rnodern convent
ence six miles of frontage. which will
furnish accommodations for ninety-one
large Ocean-going vessels simultane-
ously. This is second only to the port
of New York in the United States.
Immigrants from Europe are now NOV
ing through Galveston in large num-
bers. owing to the excellence of the
ocean service and the shortness and
cheapness Of the rail ride from this
port to destination.

AN UMLAwFuL plsmlssAl

II A LITTLE MATTER. not very
important in itself. but jmport,,t
enough as showing the trend of the
pension department that we wish to
odH attention 10. Dr.. ] y McLough-
lin OF Jersey city Is. or was. a member
Oh board OF pension examiners. A
month or two ago he received this let
Ter from Pension Commissioner Ware.
Dear Sir-Hour board of examining
surgeons is politically composed of two
Democrats and one Republican. An
executive order directs that when prac-
ucable the examining board shall be
made up Of two Republicans and one
Democrat In compliance with this or
der / must regrctfuny ask for your
resignation us a member of the Jersey
City board. This request must not in
any way be construed as rejecting
upon your efficiency as a member OF
the board or as an expression of dis
satisfaction with your professional
work. / thank you for your past good
services as an examining surgeon for
this bureau
Believing he was protected by civil
service regulations as well as by long
established custom. DR.. Mclaughlin
refused TO resign. As soon as he made
known his refusal to the department.
Commissioner Ware peremptorily re-
moved him. The commissioner insists
that pension examiners. inasmuch as
they are not subject to competitive ex-
aminati0ns, are not protected by civil
service
Admitting that this is true, however,
there is "a rule. i'm force at the time Nc
Loughlin was removed. which prohibits
the removal of such officers for purely
political reasons. This rule says:
mo person in the executive civil
service shall dismiss OF in any manner
change the official rank or compensa-
ton OF any other person therein be-
cause Of mis- political or religious opin-
ions or affiliations"
This would seem to be explicit enough
to cover the case. Mr.. Ware, in his let
ter to Or. Mclaughlin. says distinctly
that the only objection TO him is that
ne is "A Democrat. He might, techni-
cally. have had the right to dismiss DR..
-sAtA~DuI 4AlAi NANADuA ASST A-lllllR any Ied-
son. bur he does assign one and one
that is i'm direct violation of the rule
covering such cases.
Further. it is asserted that the re-
moval was made at the request Of SEN
ator Kean of New Jersey. who desired
to fiji the vacancy created with one of
his friends. The law says such recon-
mendations must not be considered.
Now. wiz the president, who has al
ways posed as civil service reformer.
take any action i'm the Ware McLough-
lin case? We hardly think so. for.
since his induction into Office. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has developed a strong
spells tendency himself.

man and politician who took the man
agement of France off the hands of
Louis XII and got himself cordially
disliked Cardinal Richelieu was con.
siderable Of a soldier and very much of
a campaign mana ger, his talents show
ing not alone in military but in political
campaigns. He had his private king
well organized and was able to get
Louis TO back up every play he made.
History notes that Cardinal Richelieu
had TO great love for Austria or the
Huguenots and made them consider

with political opponent was singular
ly direct and effective. He had the op-
ponents head severed, which tended
to settle the argument in most cases.
Cardinal Richelieu was born in 1855
and lived until 1912, keeping very busy
most of that time. Like many other
great men, after he had achieved un-
dying fame as a statesman. he became
imbued with the notion he could write
and put in some very bad hours. His
