Debs on Political Conditions.

Eugene Debs declares that the late
riot in Evansville, Ind, is the result
of the evil conditions of Indiana poll
tics and of the custom of buying votes
which has prevailed in Evansville and
generally in the Hoosier state for the
last twenty-five years.
''In the late municipal election"
says Debs, ''at Evansville, hundreds of
negroes were imported from Ken
lucky to help elect the present re-
publican mayor of that city. The
negro whose murder of policeman
precipitated the trouble was one of
these. He was a republican. and the
city officers for whom he acted as n
political plugger were also republi-
cans. After the election this negro
felt that as one of the main props of
the administration he could strut and
swagger at will. This was the start
ing point of the present trouble,
which since then has been brewing
and only required some spark to set
it off. The whole trouble is the culmi-
nation of the negro as n factor in
politics and, as is VIGOROUSLY true, a
corrupting factor, since he finds ready
sale for his vote in the political mar
ket of Evansville. The socialists never
purchased negro vote nor imported
a negro voter to debauch the politics
and incite race war in Evansville"

Folk For Governor.

Attorney Folk. of st. Louis. who
stepped forth like David to slay the
giant of corruption and Doodle in St.
Louis, was ridiculed when he began
his crusade. Today he has humbled
the grafters, the bOodlers and the cor
ruptionists with their thousands upon
thousands of iIl-gotten dollars. He has
redeemed st. Louis. Today the city
of st. Louis looks gratefully to At
torney Folk for the great work he
has, done in behalf of manhood and
the law. Today st. Louis, the state of
Missouri and this entire nation laud
Attorney Folk because he has proved
himself an exemplary Official-one
who will not grovel in graft, but who
will fight graft and Doodle wherever
they are found.
Attorney Folk is now mentioned for
the democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation in Missouri. The people of St.
Louis and of the state of Missouri be-
lieve that such an exemplary official
should be given high honors. This is
the reward of honor. This is the re-
ward of official cleanliness. This is the
reward of duty and obedience to the
law. Why is it that there are so many
officials who choose the path of COR
ruption in preference to the path of
decency and official honor, when there
is so much to be gained for them
selves and the people within their jur-
isdiction by doing what is right?
Corruption always brings sorrow,
regret and kindred punishment. Off
cial honor is the greatest triumph of
the age. so rare is it-rare as the most
precious of gems, and always highly
valued
The fearless prosecutor of Missouri,
who continues to prosecute and con-
yict boodlers whose cases the Nilsson

mands, in an address, the past week.
when he asked for the conviction of
boodlers, used the following language,
which is so appropriate for many
communities:
Bribery is the most dangerous of
crimes Other offenses violate one
law. while bribery strikes at the foun-
dation of all law. No government
can exist where it is tolerated. When
the passage of laws become a mere
matter &C bargain and sale, then there
will not be a government of and for
the people, but a government for the
few and by the few, with wealth
enough to purchase official power.

will no more jest with an official as to

Gen. Shafter in speech at Detroit
reflected upon the bravery of the
Spanish troops at Santiago, and Gen.
Joe Wheeler resents the imputation.
Gen. Wheeler is entitled to the thanks
of President Roosevelt. If the Span
ish troops were not brave, then there
is boom being fiOated under false
pretenses. 1t has been generally I'M
derstoOd that the Spaniards were
brave enough, but were such terrible
marksmen that they could not hit a
flock of haystacks.

EARLY MORNING AIR.
Ats InvisOratIng Effects Largely Due
1t Is said, to Dew.

ATS InviSOratInE Effects Largely Due,
1t Is said, to Dew.
Most people at some time in their
lives probably have risen early enough
to experience the bracing effect N,iven
by filling the lungs while dew is\ still
OH the grass. So far as analysis goes
the composition of early morning aiTAis
not different from that of air at aI5'
other time. 1t is well to remember
however, that during the passing of
night to day and of day to night sew
eral physical changes take place.
There is fall of temperature at sun
set and rise again at dawn, and con-
sequently moisture is alternately be-
ing thrown out and taken up again.
and it is well known that change of
state is accompanied by electrical phe
nomena and certain chemical mani
festations also. The formation of dew
has probably therefore far more pro-
found effects than merely the moisten-
ing of objects with water.
Dew is vitalizing not entirely be
cause it is water, but because it pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
ly, at any rate, TO the fact that 1t is
saturated with oxygen. and it has been
stated that during itsi Attenuation peroX-
ide Of hydrogen andi some ozone are
developed. 1t is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality which marks the early
morning air has its origin in this way.
Certain it is that the bracing proper
ty of the early morning air wears off
as the day advances, and it Is easy to
conceive that this loss of freshness is
due 10 the oxygen. ozone or peroxide
of hydrogen, whichever it may be. be-
ing used up.
The difficulty of inducing grass to
flourish under a tree in full leaf is well
known and is generally explained by
saying that the tree Ebsorbs the nOur-
ishing constituents oflthe soil or that
it keeps the sunlight away from the
grass and protects it from rain. 1t is
doubtful whether any of these eXpla-
nations is true, the real reason most
probably being that the vitalizinG dew
cannot form upon the grass under a
tree. whereas. as a:rule. both rain and
light can reach ii.
Dew is probably essential to the well
being of both plantstand animals to a
greater extent than is known.-New
York American.

is partly deaf, and hears with great
difficulty. 1t is embarrassing for the
British queen to attend these must
