We, the People.

Edward Everett Hale is always sensible;
usually his work is well composed. The
present volume of Papers on Topics of To-
day. contains much excellent thought, but
the thought is not so well put together as
that of his former volume. The papers
were written for the Hearst syndicate of
newspapers and for the Christian Register.
They are of the nature of leaders" and
have to do with variety of subjects: Amer
lean government and social interests, cor
poration and other economic subjects, wOm-
ems clubs, the new journalism, Sunday and
home topics, anniversary addresses and a
series of three essays-'The Five Duties"
1.-The Educated Citizen and "Old Age Per-
sions," under the heading, 1.-THE Twentieth
Century" Dr. Hale pays his respects to
the space writer in article on that SUBJ
ject. space writing" he says, makes
the world more trouble than the world at
large knows. The necessity of the space
writer is to know nothing on any subject,
and it happens, unfortunately, that the
necessity of the counting room is the same
If Mr.. Kipling, Mr.. Haggard, or Mr.
Davis, undertook the profession of the
space writer ne would very soon find that
he knew too much for his business. The
space writer's business is not with yes
terday; 1t is with to-day. He really wants
to say that the speech he has heard is the
most remarkable speech ever delivered. If
a space writer knows anything on any sub
ject, so to be really able to judge COM
paratively, he is untitled for his profess
sion." New York: Dodd, Mead e. Co.

A damsel visits a wise man in search of
worldly wisdom. She gets it. But she also
impa-ts some Of her own, and proves to be
the sage's equal The form in which these
WITNESSES are presented is attractive and
there are many epigrams which will be re-
membered Some of them are hardly cor
rect according to any accepted theory of
ethics, but all are undoubtedly wise from
the worldling's point Of view. Some read
ers will heartily assent to the truth of the
sayings. some will laugh at them, some will
utterly condemn them.
Some of the epigrams as true as they
are old-such mo man likes to shoot
tame rabbits" which has a world of mean
ing in it. Again, some are merely cheapy
cynical-"A man would often be the lover
of his wife-if he were married to some one
else
Elinor Glyn, who wrote this book, is also
the author of THE Visits of Elizabeth
and 1.-The Reflections of Ambrosine." Both
books had a good sale, and both were dis
tinguished by show of this same uncanny
wisdom of the world. If all women knew as
much as this Elinor Glyn appears to- men
might persuade. but they could never de-
ceive. This is a good book for women TO
read who have passed the age of-say
twenty-eight- If they are very much older
than that they cannot use 1t; If they are
very much younger they do not need il.

PUT IN A BAD LIGHT.
Chicago Police Force Discounted by
Indiana Rabbit Hunters.

Starke County Qnd) Republican.
The police force of Chicago was put In a
mighty bad light by that crowd of Indiana
rabbit hunters who went out and easily cap
tured the gang of highwaymen that had
baffied and driven off Chief O'NeilPs men
SO long. Armed only with shotguns,
charged with bird shot, these countrymen
walked up to the hiding place of the rob-
bers and received their surrender, after
which the rabbit hunters turned the desper-
ADDE'S over to the brave and efficient Chi
cago police force, but not, however, until
all weapons had been taken from the gang
and the members securely bound. Earlier
in the day posse of seven policemen and
detectives had been driven pell-mell from
the rendezvous of the thieves. So long as
nothing but Mayor Harrison's officers were
pursuing the robbers absolutely no head
way was made toward their capture. The
fact that a few Indiana farmers did what
Chicagos police force could not do will not
deter the newspapers of Chicago from say
ing supposedly cute things about Mr..
Farmer Hayseed down in Indiany.
In season and out, the Chicago news
papers drive away at the citizens of In
clad in as rags and mentally deficient. TO the
smart Chicago writers, the city which Ben
jamin Harrison honored as his home is a
seedy burg and the author of Ben-Hur is
put on shelf below Bathhouse John. 1t
is not sufficient that every citizen of In
diana knows that Chicago bears a greater
resemblance to big pollywog pool than to
a metropolitan city; the citizens of Chicago
ought to know this themselves and perhaps
they do, but they are too conceited to ad-
init It, Indiana deserves great deal bet
ter of Chicago than she will perhaps ever
receive. The funny man and the wise edi-
torial writer will continue selling our peo-
pie the Masonic Temple and the lake front
for many a year yet. 1t is unfortunate for
Indiana that she Is thus located so close to
a large and growing asylum of fools, thugs
and grafters.

CONGRESS MAY IMPEACH
JUDGE CHARLES SWAYNE
House Adopts Resolution of In
quiry on Motion of Florida
Member.
GRAVE CHARGES MADE

WASHINGTON, Dec l6-The House to-
day adopted a resolution directing the ju-
dietary committee to inquire into the official
conduct of Charles Swayne, judge of the
United States District Court for the North
ern District of Florida, and ito report
whether the action Of the House is requi-
site. Mr.. Lamar, of Florida offered a
resolution announcing that he desired to
impeach Judge Swayne. A lively debate
was had before the resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Lamar said: "As / understand. the
objection made by the gentleman from
Ohio Mr.. Grosvenor, is that / do not charge
Judge Swayne with any specific crime. 1
do charge him generally with high crimes
and misdemeanors. Why should be forced
to state, when the proof is to be submitted
to the committee on judiciary, the specific
matters upon which that general alega-
ton is made? Every single crime that
this judge is capable of committing is
charged when charge him of high crimes
and misdemeanors. But if the gentleman
desires that / shall make my charges seri-
atm, 1 charge this judge, first with con-
tinued, persistent and, If you please, per-
nicious absenteeism from his district;
ond, with corrupt official conduct, based on
several matters: third. 1 charge Judge
Swayne with maladministration of judicial
matters in his court, so much so as to en-
barrass bankrupts and to annihilate the
assets of litigants and others appearing
within his Jurisdiction"
A number of members on the majority
side sought to have the resolution referred
to the judiciary committee. in order that
recommendation might be made from that
committee before voting on it's adoption.
Inc minority soidly supported Mr.. Lamar
in his opposition to the motion to refer. and
several Republicans voted against refer
ence. There were few dissenting votes on
the motion to adopt the resolution.
The first of the appropriation bills, the
pension BILL was reported to the House to-
day, and notice given that it will be called
up tomorrow for consideration. 1t carries
total of S13S, 150, 100 which is $500 less
than the estimates submitted. The bill car
rfes 81, 697,500 less than was appropriated for
pensions last year.
Mr.. Grosvenor introduced bill limiting
the meaning Of the word conspiracy" and
the use of injunctions.
Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi, introduced
bill giving the Interstate-commerce Com
mission authority to declare what shall be
reasonable" rate for transportation when
they declare rate to be unreasonable.
Mr. Gillett, of Massachusetts, to-day in
troduced six bills providing various schemes
for retiring superannuated government en-
ployes. All of the measures were before the
last Congress.

In Search of n siberian KIondike.

This book is the result of one of those de-
lightful partnerships where the party of the
first part has all the adventures and the
party of the second part listened to the re-
cital of the adventures and then puts them
down on paper. Washington b. Vanderlip
had the experiences and Homer b. Hubert,
editor of the Korean Review, put them in
good literary form. Then comes the party OF
the third part. the reader, who perhaps,
will derive the maximum amount of pleas
ure with a minimum expenditure OF EFFORT
Mr.. Vanderlip searched in kamchatka and
northern Siberia for gold sulphur and cop
per deposits and, though the search proved
fruitless, the adventures and excitements
incident to 1T make a narrative of unusual
interest. The book reminds one OF George
kennans Tent Life in Siberia, and like
Mr.. KEENAN,, the narrator of these adven-
lures several times came near losing MS
life Mr.. Vanderlip spent fourteen months
prospecting for a Russian syndicate and
lived with the natives as one of them. An
interesting paragraph is the following:
when native resolves to marry he looks
out for bride, not in his own village, but
in a neighboring one. When he finds girl
who pleases him he tells her parents that
he is DESTROYS of serving them, and, during
the period OF probation, he works most IN
duS triously to make good impression. AT
last he asks permission to steal the girl. If
his suit is looked upon with disfavor he is
paid for the service he has rendered and
sent away, but if he is acceptable to the
girl and to her parents and relatives the
permission is given. He then seeks an OPP
portunity TO find the girl alone, which Is no
easy matter, for she is supposed to be
guarded by the women of the village. In
stances are known where a man has tried
out success" New York: The Century

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-To-day's session
of the Senate lasted only thirty-seven min
utes. After the completion of the routine
business the Cuban bill was laid before the
Senate, but no one appeared ready to speak
on it. Mr.. Hale then at 1871 moved an adj
journment, and the motion prevailed.
Mr.. Gallinger introduced q bill providing
that after March 4. 1904, salaries of senators,
representatives and delegates in Congress
shall be $500 per annum.
Mr.. Foraker introduced a bill to provide
a government for the Island Of Tutuia and
adjacent islands. 1t is identical with bill
introduced in the Fifty-seventh Congress.
He also reintroduced bill to provide gov
eminent for the Island of Guam Mr.. For
aker also introduced a bill to make the
provisions of the naturalization laws of the
United States applicable to Porto Rico.

NAY VISIT UNITED STATES
Gen. Tzontcheff, the Macedonian
Leader. En- Route to London.

VIENNA, Dec. 10.-General Tzontcheff
the Macedonian leader. left tonight for
Paris. He will later go to London. and II is
possible that he will visit the United States
Interviewed to-day, General Tzontchef
said he considered that war between Tur-
key and Bulgaria next spring was newt
able. and he expressed the belief that Servia
would cooperate with Bulgaria. He said
that the scheme of reforms In Macedonia
formulated by the Austrian and Russian
governments and formally consented to by
the Porte, was doomed to failure. A re-
crudescence of the Macedonian insurrection
the general said, was certain, but he
thought that the conflicting personal am
billions of the leaders might initiate against
its success. General Tzontcheff said the
belief prevailed I'm Servia that Austria
would outwit Russia. and that Austria was
now secretly preparing to occupy Mace
donia. This extension of Austrian infiu-
ence in Macedonia was greatly dreaded in
Servia. Meanwhile Bulgaria. the Mace
DOMAIN leader said. was steadily preparing
for war. and had recently received $1,000
Manniicher rifles and large quantities of
ammunition and military stores

Nothing of an official character concern
ing the reported movement of Colombian
troops upon the isthmus has been received
at the State Department since the reports
that came yesterday from Venezuelan ports
indicating that such movement was on
foot, nor has the minister from Panama any
information on this point. At the Navy
Department it was announced that the ma

reinforced by 300 men now on the Prairie
orders having been sent to Admiral Barker
commanding the North Atlantic squadron
now at Guantanamo. to dispatch the Prairie

that thus reinforced the marines now on
