Chicago, Nov. l3.-Twenty- cars,
run on the Wentworth avenue line with
out damage to cars or injury to the
non-union employees operating them,
was what the Chicago City Railway
company was able to accomplish today
with the assistance Of the police de-
partment. X
The cars were rub at three different
times, five leaving the Seventy-seventh
street barns at s. 40 a. m. and ten at
10. 40 and ten at 3. 40. In the first two
runs the round trip was made in about
three hours; the third in about one
and one-half hours.
While there as no active interfer-
ence with the handling of the cars
such as attended the attempts to run
them yesterday, the crowds that lined
the streets jeered and hooted the police
and the non-union men almost without
intermission. But two stones were
hurled at the cars during the day; one
being thrown by woman who made
her escape in the crowd before the
police could reach her. and the other
being hurled from the new postotfce

CURRENT. COMMENT.

The Columbia Is. C.) State Dem1
says: 1.-THE Savannah Morning News
very pertinently suggests that if the
President believes, in the political rec
ognition of the numerical majority,
rather than the ma jority of intelli-
gence and culture, why should he OPP
pose the election of a Mormon senator
from Utah? The Mormons are in the
majority in that state But the Nor
mons are not a deciding factor in
doubtful states-there's the difference
before Roosevelt's eyes between the
Mormon and the negro"
The Hartford Comm Times Dem.
says: Judge Day of Ohio, who pre-
eeded Mr.. Hay in the State Depart
ment is to have the seat on the SUI
preme bench which had been assigned
to Judge Taft, but which he will pro-
badly not take at the present time.
Mr.. Day helped make the treaty with
Spain for the purchase of the Philip
pines and will join Brown, McKenna
and the other imperialist judges in
stretching the constitution to any ex-
tent that the necessities of our colo
NAL policy may require"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: "The appointment of
William II. Lewis as an assistant to
United States District Attorney Moul-
ton is unexceptionable in itself, al
though Boston lawyers says that Mr.
Moulton did not need another assistant.
The appointment, however, does not
quite measure up to desires recently ex-
pressed for appointments of colored
men to federal office in the North. The
office Mr.. Lewis gets is merely an
assistant district attorneyship. The
President should give an Office of real
importance, such as the postmaster
ship, in order thoroughly to test Bos-
ton"
The Philadelphia Record Dem
says: 1.-The report from Savannah that
the bondsmen of Green and Gaynor.
the contractors who We're under in
dictment for frauds upon the govern
ment perpetrated through the guilty
completely of Captain Carter, of the
army, are getting ready to pay their
liability of $4,000 indicates that the
efforts for the extradition of the flu
gitives have been abandoned. These
rascals have been obliged to make a
protracted stay at Quebec They are
probably able to pay their way. The
effort of the Canadian authorities to
prolong their visit was no doubt more
a matter of revenue than of hospitali-
ty, the length OF their stay depend
ing on the length Of their purses"

THE COLUMBIA TRAGEDY.


No one attempts to defend or excuse
Lieut.. Gov. TiIlman's murderous as
sault on Editor Gonzales. an assault
that may terminate fatally. AS far as
now known there is no defense to be
made or excuse to be offered. Mr..
Gonzales was passing along the street
to his home without any thought of
danger. He saw Mr. Tillman ap-
preaching with friends, and rather
than brush against him-they not be-
ing upon good terms-he crossed the
sidewalk to avoid him. Mr.. Tillman.
him and deliberately shot him down.
That is the testimony of Mr.. Cons
zales and thus far it has not been con-
tradicted.
There was bad blood between the
men, but IL was thought that time had
taken the edge off of the bitterness of
their enmity. Mr.. Gonzales had at
tackled Mr.. Tillman in his paper and
had said many severe things of him,
but he had made no mention of him
for several months. There had been
plenty of time therefore for Mr.. Till
mans anger to cool.
The tragedy will have bad effect
throughout the entire state of South
Carolina. It will encourage a freer use
of the deadly weapon in quarrels, and
we may expect to hear soon of other
similar tragedies. The fact that the
Lieutenant Governor was going about
the streets of the capital of the state,
and perhaps presided over the Sem
ing two pistols in his pockets-will
have the effect of giving encourage
ment to the practice of carrying con-
cealed weapons and of making deadly
assaults upon slight provocation.
Assuming that the facts are as stat
ed in the dispatches, what will a jury
do in the case against Mr.. Tillman, If
Mr.. Gonzales wound should prove ia
tai, or even if it should not prove IA
tai? Mr.. Tillman has great political
and family influence. There is no
doubt much speculation in regard to
this question.
The other day, in speaking about
rardons in this state of convicts
serving sentences for crimes of vio-
lence, we said that the frequency of
such crimes was due to the widespread
belief that they could be committed
almost with impunlty. Does such a be-
lief exist in South Carolina, and did
Mr.. Tillman have it when he shot
down Mr.. Gonzales? If so, then it is
certainly time for a South Carolina
jury to remove the ground for such
belief.

SMOOTH TALK.

That was a nice. smooth talk which
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, the new
| ly appointed charge d'affairs of Ger
many at Washington, gave the Asso-
ciated Press on Thursday, and report
ed in our dispatches yesterday. 1t may
have been a very sincere talk. We
have no solid reason for saying 1t
wasn't. There is a feeling throughout
the country, however. that the German
Emperor is only watching for an OPP
portunity to make a point against this
country.
In the course of his remarks Baron
Speck Won Sternberg said: His majes-
ty has been pleased to commit to my
care one of the dearest objects of his
external policy, that of extending our
friendship with the United States. This
is for me a delightful work. The cir
cumstances of each country place it
beyond the jealousy and fear of the
other, and we have at present good
will, admiration and respect to build
upon" The baron went on to say how
much the Emperor appreciated and adj
mired America and about everything
pertaining to the American people.
1t is a fact of course that Germany,
before undertaking to collect the debt
due her citizens from Venezuela, asked
our government if there were any OBJ
lection to the means she intended to
employ to collect it, and was told that
the United States would not protest as
long as the Monroe doctrine was re-
spected.
But was it not the purpose of the al
many in their movement upon Vene-
zuela to attack the Monroe doctrine
to put that doctrine to a test? There
appears to be some ground for think
ing so. In an interview the other day
in New York Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford of the British navy, said:
mo sensible person believes that Ger
many and Great Britain sent ships out
to whip Venezuela because of a debt
it was an attack on the Monroe doc
trine." If Lord Beresford is right then
Germany is not as good a friend of this
But If the object of the attack on
Venezuela by the allies was to test
the Monroe doctrine Great Britain is
no more sincere than Germany As in
her dealings with this country. Ac-
cording to Lord Beresford she Joined
with Germany in making the attack.
although she pretends to be in favor
of the Monroe doctrine. Can it be that
Great Britain was inveigled into an al
lance with Germany, not knowing what
Germany's real object was? 1t is hard
ly probable, though it is quite certain
that the British press and people Sc
verely condemned the alliance. They
thought the tendency of the alliance,
was to weaken the bonds of friendship
between Great Britain and the United
States, and they regard the friendship
of the United States of vastly more
Importance than the friendship Of Ger
many or the collecting of debts due to
British citizens by Venezuela.

When young M. Armstrong was
appointed an assistant secretary of the
treasury by Mr.. Shaw there was great
commotion among older aspirants for
the position. A friend of one of those

course, Mr.. Armstrong is all right, Mr..
Secretary, but isn't he just a little

quizzical look: "Well, maybe he is,

W. w. Keen of Philadelphia, the sur

Gallinger a striking open letter in de-
Tense of vivisection, has the hobby of

His WIFE. Only FauIt.

The St. Louis Star relates the fol-
lowing: While in England Marshall P.
Wilder came upon curious case Of
husbandly devotion. He had heard
that the wife of certain laborer was
not all she should be. and that the
daily wages her husband earned by the
sweat of his brow were spent by her
for liquor rather than for household
necessaries. Moved with pity for the
poor fellow, who never complained OF
his wrongs, Wilder put a few odd jobs
in his way, which paid the man well,
and also livened up his duh hours with
many a funny yarn. One day they
happened to talk of domestic quarrels
and then the poor fellow spoke of his
own troubles for the first time.

From Town and Country.
1 wish were a boy again,
That age were but a dream,
That things would change from what
they are
To what they used to seem;
That 1 were but little boy,
And from my mothers knee
Could find that dear old fairyland,
Just as it used to be.
If wishes only were horse,
How fast away I'd ride
Across the plains of yesterday,
Bold comrades by my side;
Once more I'd rescue captive maids,
All! doughty deeds you'd see,
If l were but a hero bold,
Just as / used to be.
With Beanstalk Jack I'd sally forth
To giants kill galore;
In seven leagued boots I'd stride away
To that enchanted shore
Where ogres dwell, in castles huge,
And mermaids swarm the sea;
Oh, how I'd love to find them all
Just as they used to be!
My little boy says I'm all wrong
That nothings changed at all,
That he can show me ogres fierce,
And giants more than TALL
Then, clasping his dear hand in mine,
He leads me forth to see
Years drop as leaves; I'm young again.
Just as l used to be.

GreeIeyss Strict Rules.

AS an editor Horace Greeley had
become weary of the constant repeti-
ton of the word "the" in opening sem
fences, says the Detroit Free Press.
One issue of his paper in particular
exasperated him. Almost every item
had it's opening paragraph begin with
the" This lack of judgment on the
part of his writer's in the choice of
words received attention. Greeley
wrote a note. This notice he requested
to be posted in the editorial room, and
caused copies of it to be sent to cor
respondents. The order read:
Under no circumstances must the
word the be used in the opening or
subsequent paragraphs of news ar
ticle. In sentences within a paragraph
twill be tolerated with moderation. If
you cannot write paragraph without
the to open it, omit"
One day. shortly after the issuance
of his new rule, Greeley entered the
editorial room in a fury.
How is it that we have nothing in
to-day's paper regarding Hollands at
titude toward the policy of the
NORTH" he asked of his editor who
had charge of the foreign news.
This editor was aware that he had
omitted an important news item which
at the time he considered as unimport-
ant. But he was resourceful.
Your rules and orders are positive,
Mr.. Greeley, are they not?" asked the
editor.
Certainly" shouted the famous
scribbler.
Then tell me how could have used
The Hague for the date line in the
Holland dispatch without violating
your positive order"
Mr.. Greeley was beaten, but he
muttered, IF you fellows could use
judgment there would be no need for
rules
