Since Wyatt Earp, once famous as a gun fighter in Ari4oua ana California, went up into the Klondike very little has been heard of him by the outside world. The last exploit that brought himinto prominence was his decision in the Sharkey- F'itz- simmons prize fight in San Fran cisco, when he gave the fight to Sharkey on an alleged foul.
 "Earp drifted into Dawson several months ago full of deter imitation to get action. :" said a San Francisco man to some of Earp's old western friends the other night. "He discarded his store clothes, got himself fan nel shirt, a pair of leather trous- CTS and a som brerO, stuck a gun in his belt, loaded up on bad whiskey, and went around the saloons and faro banks bully ragging everybody. For week he had things pretty much his own way,
 Well, the fact that Earp was hitting it up got to the ears of a little five foot cockney, member of the Canada mounted police, one of whose duties it was to see that Dawson behaved itself. "Earp was somewhat surprised when the little fellow simply smiled politely and said; "You must give me that gun or bury 1t, sir, and extended his hand for the weapon.
 ''Earp swore some more, but not quite so eloquently, for all the while the little man was smil- ing calmly in his face. Earp made for the open air, and just as he got to the door the police man walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. I beg your pardon, sir, he said, but if you come out with a gun in sight to- morrow, I shall have to take it away from you
 "Earp turned purple with rage, but he had no nerve left when he confronted that politely smiling face. He roared a few oaths back at the amused crowd in the gambling house, and then went to the Golden Lion saloon, where he took d few drinks and proceeded to tell what he would do the next day when the cock ney tried to take his gun.
 " Why, Ill blow him full of holes, said ne.
 "'Yes, said a listener, but when you put d hole in him you put d hole in the British Empire, which it will fill with two men. If you kilr them, four will take their places. In the end, harp, you will have the whole British army here, if necessary, inst to snuff you out. Better let him alone
 "phe next day Earp, very thoughtful and very sooer, ap peared on the streets of Dawson in the store clothes he came to town with. Almost the first person he met Was the cockney, who had evidently been waiting for him, prepared to take his gun away if he showed it. As soon as he saw Earp he stepped up very politely and said:
 " Thank you, sir and then turned on his heel.
 "Earp hasn't been deuce high as a bad man ln pawson since that incident. Incidentally | might say, if he had elected to mix it up with the cockney he'd been sleeping under an epitaph tonight, for of all the tough men 1 ever saw, either for or against law and order, those i Canada mounted police are the limit.

In his efforts to hurt Mr.. Roosevelt
Perry Heath is helping him. He is now
telling the public, through the newspa-
pers. that President Mckinley expected
Senator Hanna to succeed him as Pres
ident, and intended to do all he could
to bring about the senator's nomination
and election. 1t may be true that
President Mckinley wished Senator
Hanna to succeed him, but he had no
claim to the office after the expiration
of his term. His wish in the matter
was no more than that of any other
citizen. 1t was largely due to Senator
Hannas efforts that he was twice
elected President. 1t was but natural
therefore that he should favor Sena-
tor Hanna as his successor.
Mr. Heath brings Mr.. McKinley's
preference to the attention of the pub
lie at this time with the hope of lessen
ing Mr.. Roosevelt's chances of getting
the nomination. He is an enemy of the
latter because Of the disclosures in the
postoffice investigation. That investi-
cation put Mr.. Heath in a very bad
light before the country. The effort to
bring Senator Hanna to the front
therefore, as a candidate for the nomi-
nation, shows that he feels bitterly to-
wards Mr.. Roosevelt and would like
nothing better than to prevent him
from getting the nomination.
He doesn't seem to realize that the
more he says against Mr.. Roosevelt the
better the latters chances are for get
ting the nomination. There may have
been a time when Mr.. Heath had in
huence with his party, but that was
before Mr.. Bristow made his report
Since then he hasn't been in a position
to injure Mr.. Roosevelt by trying to
| bring Senator Hanna forward as a cam
| didate for the nomination or by giving
out information to the effect that Pres
| iient Mckinley wanted Senator Hanna
to succeed him. In other words. Mr..
Heath is dead duck" politically.
The most amusing part of his talk
| about MIR. Hanna is that the latter
| doesn't want the office of President.
| though that doesn't mean that he
| doesn't want the nomination"
Mr.. Heath cannot prevent Mr.. Roose-
velts nomination. He is only helping
him TO get it by talking against him.
There is one chance for revenge open
to him, however. He can vote against
him and thus help to prevent his cleo
| ton.

The following story of Pope Plus X
appears in the Christmas Success. 1t
was written by Salvatore Cortesi, and
is part of an article telling of the
Pope's boyhood days, when he was
known to his comrades as Beppo
Sarto:
His sister lived with him (the Pope),
and was often in despair because there
was nothing in the house to eat and
nothing in the house with which to
buy food. One day she had procured
a fine piece of beef and had promptly
put it in a pot to make soup. Near
the dinner hour she came rushing to
her brother, crying:
THE meat is stolen!"
Perhaps it was the cat"
THE cat! A cat cannot carry off
the pot, too!' Thereupon he added
insult to injury by saying:
MY dear sister, fear you do not
attend very we'll to the kitchen. 1t
was 1 who took them to give to a
poor man who said his wife was i'll in
bed and needed BROTH"
well, at least, 1 suppose she could
not eat the pot!" said the other, indig-
nantly. Now what are you going
to have for your dinner, should like
to know? I am sure you have not a
cent in your pocket" Beppo indul-
gently turned out his empty pockets,
and then said: Never mind, never
mind, sister, God will provide for u.s."
But he did not provide another piece
Of beef for dinner that day.

Mr.. Bunau-Yarilla. the minister of
Panama to this country, has notified
the British ambassador at Washington
that Panama is willing to assume a
part of Colombias exterior debt. AS
Panama has about one fifteenth as
many inhabitants as Colombia she. is
willing to pay one-fifteenth Of the debt
that is, she is willing to obligate
herself to pay $1,000, 900. She is conf
dent that if the question of assuming
any part of the debt were submitted
to The Hague tribunal she wouldn't be
required to pay any part of it. for the
reason that no part of the money bor-
rowed abroad was ever used for her
benefit.
How will this proposition be receiv-
ed by the British and other holders of
European bonds? Doubtless they are
hoping that the $10,OOO,OOO Panama is
to receive from the United States for
canal concessions win be applied to the
payment of their bonds. If they are
entertaining a hope of that kind they
will probably be disappointed. The
are counting on handling that money
themselves. 1t is rather surprising
that they have proposed to give up
even tenth of it. 1t may be that the
fear that thew would lose it all was
the motive of their offer.
In comparison with Germany and
France, England was slow to recognize
the new republic. Was that because
she was waiting for proposition rel
alive to the payment of the bonds of
Colombia held by her citizens? OF
course it is impossible to get anything
definite on that point
Panama could we'll afford to appro-
pirate the whole of the s10,000000 to
the payment of Colombia's exterior in
debtedness If that would satisfy her
and prevent further trouble. She will
have the canal and the annual rental
from it, and that will be far more
than she ever got from Colombia.
Doubtless she would consent to the use
of more than $1,000 900 of the money in
that way if powerful pressure from in
fIuential sources were brought to bear
upon her.
1t is certain that the European
bondholders will not be satisfied with
the offer of $1,OOO.OOO. That amount
wouldn't much more than pay years
interest on their bonds after the va
rious charges to which it would neces-
sarily be subjected were deducted. Be-
sides, they win assume from the offer
that has been made that they can get
more if they are persistent. They
know that there is very little probable
ity of their getting anything from Co.
Iombia. The financial condition of
that country is deplorable. In the set
Element Of the Panama trouble the
European holders of Colombias bonds
may figure more prominently than
there was any idea they would when
the trouble began. In fact they were
not regarded as a factor in the situa-
ton then.

MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS.

In his European tour Mr.. Bryan is
giving considerable attention to mat
tiers in which people Of cities are in
! terested. In a recent letter from Lon
| don, published in the New York Ameri-
can, he writes entertainingly of the
advantages of municipal ownership of
street railways, and of water and gas
plants. The impression he leaves is
that the people get street car service
and water and gas at much less than
| they would be able to obtain them if
these utilities were owned and operated
by private corporations
But could municipal ownership be
made successful in this country? OF
course this question cannot be an
swered without a careful investigation.
Some of our cities own plants for sup
plying water. gas and electricity,
others own only plants for supplying
water and gas and still others own
only a plant for supplying water,
but we do not recall any one
that owns and operates it's street rail-
way lines. In some instances the own
ership of these public service plants is
proving a good thing for the citizens,
but there have been cases in which cit
les have found it was cheaper for their
citizens to buy gas from private cor
porations. For instance, Philadelphia
had a fine gas plant. 1t sold it and the
people of that city are now getting gas
from a private corporation. OF course
ii city could always have an admin
istration composed of men determined
to give it the best service at the lowest
cost municipal ownership would be a
good thing, but it too often happens
that municipal officials are either negli-
gent or bent upon making money out
of their positions. That seems to be the
case in this country far oftener that it
is in Europe.
In our cities about all of the street
railway franchises are owned by pri-
vate corporations. 1t would be almost
impossible to get the street railways at
a price that would permit of their ope-
ration at the low rate of fare that pre-
walls in municipal ownership cities of
the British Isles. And if they could be
obtained at fair prices there would be
such exhorbitant demands in the way
of wages and shorter hours, demands
that would, in all probability be acced-
ed to for political considerations-tha
if good service were maintained the
rates of fare would hardly be lower
than they are at present. And it is
doubtful if the service would be as
good. Much would depend upon the
municipal administration. When a
thoroughly honest and business admin
istration was in power the service
would be good, but when the admins
tration was given over to politics rath-
er than devoted to business the service
would be bad. The many difficulties in
the way of municipal ownership of
street railways in this country have
been recognized and probably prevented
trials of it.

The total mileage of new railroad
construction in the United States dur
ing 1903 aggregates 5,72S45, on $50 lines
in all the states and territories. This
is considerably below the anticipations
at the beginning of the year, but is
twenty-nine miles more new road than
various parts Of the country in the
spring and summer are said to be re-
sponsible in a large measure for the
difference between anticipated new
mileage and the mileage actually con-
structed. The heaviest railroad build
ing during the year was in the South
ern States, Louisiana taking the lead
with 446 miles.
