Will Indorse Roosevelt.

The Republican State convention of
Nebraska viii meet today, but there is
little interest in the meeting. and 1T is
not expected that there will be a con-
test over any OF the minor nominations
to be made. The principal office to be
filled this year is a position on the State
supreme bench, and the indications are
that the Hon. John B. Barnes, OF Madi-
son county, will be nominated by ac-
clamation- Almost the only general in
terest in the convention is the matter
OF indorsing the Administration OF
President Roosevelt and the passage OF
a resolution calling for his nomination
next year. This viii doubtless be done
without any opposition, as the President
is especially strong In Bryan's State.
and 1t is confidently expected that with
out effort Nebraska will fall In line with
her sister States Of the West and de-
clare for the nomination OF President

Another Boom Launched.

[Secretary Schultz of the Milwaukee health de-
partment is framing ordinance creating le-
gal standard for the food used in boarding
houses and hotels.
At last the boarding house brigade has found n
candidate
The man Of destiny is here, We see the hand
Of fate
No more the custard cup shall be a puzzle to
our spoons;
No more the famished boarders shall be forced
to feed on Prunes;
And every boarder in the land arises and sa-
lutes,
And cheers the name and sounds the fame Of
Secretary Schultz.
Here Is a man at last who knows his eountry's
pressing need,
Who knows the legions now compelled on doubt
ful stuff TO feed,
Who knows the way the butter stands defiant
on the plate,
And how the coffee is too weak its steam to
radiate;
He knows the second handed pies and plaster
Each boarding place will boom the race Of Sec
retary Schultz
Hurrahl for now. at last, the man who boards
shall get steak
That is not adamantine stuff. too stiff to bend
OF break;
And all the secret. hidden things shall swiftly
go 70 smash
Wen know exactly what is put into the dish
Of hash.
Each boarder says this is the man who all re-
quirements suits.
And makes a note that he will vote for Secre-
tary Schultz.
The leather covered griddle cake must fly to
other scenes
For Secretary Schultz is apt TO say Just what he
means
So up from all the boarding houses now cheer
is wildly blent,
A cheer that means that here's the man 20 rur
for President
Star boarders and delinquents are prepared tc
bet their boots
That every voice will cheer the choice of Secre
tary Schultz.

Interceded With Leopold.

Anxious to bring to an end this en-
barrassing condition of affairs. which
rendered the position OF Princess Ste
phanie exceedingly questionable. since
theoretically she was living with a man
who was not her legal husband, Emperor
Francis Joseph, the late Queen Victoria,
and King Edward, interceded with King
Leopold. who reluctantly and in defer
ence to their pressing requests consent
ed TO recognize his daughters marriage
and thus render 1t valid in the eyes Of
the continental courts and of continen-
tai law.
He did this. however, on the under
standing that Stephanie abandoned her
rights and title OF royal princess of
Belgium. and contented herself with the
name and title OF the husband whom
she had chosen in such fragrant defiance
Of his wishes. taking the rather logical
ground that the members of the reign
ing house of Belgium were bound by its
family statutes to implicit obedience to
the King. and that since she had de-
clined TO yield that obedience, and 10
comply with the obligations OF her posi-
ton, she could no longer be regarded as
member of the family.
The Washington times., 1903-08-18

has been Systematically deprived of
his lands and robbed of his rights
until the wonder is that he has so long
submitted to injustice and remained
peaceful. Now it appears that prom
iLent Government officials charged
with responsibility for the welfare of
the Indiap are interested with the
land sharks in defrauding him of his
holdings.
Such slow progress has been made
by the Dawes Commission in the al
lotment of Indian lands that this fact
alone is justification for making an
inquiry into its methods, and now that
its present chairman is found to be
associated with several Of the land
speculating companies, it is reasona-
BILE TO suppose that the delay in wind
ing up the work of the commission
has not been altogether due to the la
borious task If has been called upon
to perform. 1t is not to be supposed
that those officials charged with the
duty of looking after the interests of
the Indians have connected themselves
with these land investment companies
tc promote the welfare of the In
Gians, but rather for their own advan-
tage. As Commissioner Jones says,
II is impossible for them to be impair
tial in deciding questions affecting
their own interests. A thorough in
vestigation into the acts of these Off
eials may reveal a condition of things
second only to the rottenneSs which
has been divulged in the Postoffice De
partment.
1t is TO be hoped that the report of
the scandals may have been exagger-
ated, but the President does wisely III
taking prompt action in order that
the guilty ones may have the least
possible time in which to cover VI
their malefactions.

No Right to Title.

After delay of couple of weeks
the documents were returned by the
Austrian minister at Brussels to the
Belgian department of foreign affairs
with the intinlation that the Austro-
Hungarian government could not under
take to transmit to Countess Lonjay
any document IN which she was de-
scribed as royal highness," a prefix.
to which she had no longer any right,
and there the matter remains for the
present. This is in keeping with the
action of the Austrian authorities
short time ago In curtly prohibiting
their former crown princess from max
ing use of an incognito name on the
ground that only royal and imperial
personages have the right in Austria to
assume inco=nito names.
King Leopold, II may be remembered,
was bitterly opposed to his daughters
second marriage. and at first declined
to give that sanction which, in the eyes
OF Belgian as we'll as OF Austrian lSw,
in fact all over the continent OF Eu-
rope, was requisite in order TO render
the union valid.

Consumption of Water.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
In confirmation Of my argument in The Times
few days ago that the citizens are charged
with an extTavagant consumption OF water,
when in reality the General Government en-
ployes are responsible, the following statement
is made by Colonel Miller, of the Engineer
Office. in charge Of the water supply system:
During the twenty-four hours ending a. m,
July %, 1903. the consumption and waste Of
water in the District amounted to 90, $40
gallons, and that during the hours from 10
in the morning it amounted TO :, ,O45 95S gallons,
and from a. IN. to D. N. it was over 3, COO 900
gallons per hour"
II is a self evident fact that from to
O'Clock In the morning the citizens are not
using water. The public buildings use the
water through the whole twenty four hours, and
therefore the waste and consumption that took
place between the hours Of and In the
morning Of July 20, 1903, is attributed to the
extravaganza Of the employees Of the Government
departments The difference between 5000, oOO
gallons and 2,045,956 gallons. which amounts
10 954, ,O42 gallons, is most likely the amount Of
water consumed by the citizens. You will no
tice that the consumption Of water used by
the citizens is not quite one-third the amount
that was consumed in a given time.
The Weather Bureau stated, upon inquiry,
that during the month Of July, 1908, 459
inches Of water fell, which is said to be an
extraordinary precipitation; and that at s p m.
on the 18th day of July, 1903, rainstorm set
in so that II Is evident that the citizens did
not use the water supposed TO have been con-
sumed for sprinkling purposes for their lawns,
gardens. etc. GEO. W. KING

Political Gossip
Here and There
Senator Hawley's Successor.

Reports from Connecticut are to the
effect that the Hon. Samuel Fcssenden
will make determined effort to succeed
the Hon. Joseph r. Hawley in the United
States Senate. There are already in the
field several aspirants for Senator Haw-
ley's political shoes, among them being
the Hon. EteneZer J. Hill, who repre-
sents the Fourth district of the Nutmeg
State. Mr.. Fessenden was for a number
of years a member of the Republican
national committee for Connecticut, but
retired about three years ago in favor OF
the Hon. Charles F. Brooker, who has
now announced bis intention of resign
ing from the position because pressure
of business demands that his private at
fairs rather than politics should receive
his attention. His retirement is said TO
be part of the scheme TO aid Mr. Fes-
senden in his candidacy for the United
States Senate.
The Washington times., 1903-08-18
To Aid Fessenden.

Mr.. Brokers successor will probably
be the Hon. Frederick A. Belts. OF New
Haven, who is one Of the United States
commissioners CT the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition and who is a warm
personal and political friend of Mr.. Fes-
cenden and anxious to assist him in his
race for the Senate. Mr. Fessenden has
been a member OF the lower house of
the Connecticut Legislature for a num-
Der Of terms and was once It's speaker
He has also been States attorney.
The impression prevails in Connecticut
that Senator Hawley, who is now serv-
ing his fourth term, which expires in
March. 1905. Will not seek reelection on
account OF failing health While the
Senator's physical condition has greatly
improved since last winter, he is not ro-
bust, and many of his friends believe
that it would be best for him to be re-
lieyed of official cares He will. how
ever, serve out his present term In
case he decides not to become a candi-
date fer reelection there will be a live
number of ambitious statesmen In Con-
pecticut who have long aspired to the
Senate but have seen no opportunity
TO realize their ambition. With Senator
Hawley no longer In the way the fght
will be an open one.

Prejudice and Courts-Martial.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Assistant Secretary Darling, Of the Navy De-
partment Is to be commended for the frank
manner in which he denounced the court Of
inquiry which sentenced Lieut.. Comdr. Fidelio
S. Carter, Of the navy, 70 dismissal on
the strength Of the unpopularity Of the Of
hcer rather than on the testimony offered
concerning the grounding Of the Piscataqua.
which he commanded.
Fair minded people tired Of courts-mar-
tial where the petty jealousies and personal al
fairs Of officers displaee justice. Why should
army and navy officers not be tried by juries
of unprejudiced civilians? Courts-martial are 50
often mere farces that little reliance be
placed on them. BY all means, try officers be-
fore civilians Cali in army and navy officers
70 give expert testimony where technical ques-
tions are involved, but summon officers for this
purpose who do not know the against
whom charges are filed JUSTICE

Wrongs Against the Indian.
Disclosures Made by Brosious' Report
Warrant an Investigation

Surface indications seem TO war
rant the decision reached by the Pres
ident and Secretary Hitchcock to or
der an immediate and rigid investiga-
ton of the affairs of the Indian Blu
reau. If the statements contained In
the report made by Mr.. Brosious, of
the Indian Rights Association, are
true, no time should be lost in insti-
tuting a searching inquiry into the
conduct of officials charged with the
administration of Indian affairs.
When such conditions as Mr.. Brosious
describes can be unearthed by a pri-
vate individual, it is impossible to say
what may be discovered when an Off
cial probe delves into these matters.

profit of $4,000 year.
The London Gazette'' has become regul2rized
as a part Of the British constitution now. but
time was when the editorship Of the ''Gazette"
WAS one Of the spoils Of ofhce, worth ESOo a
year. Ii was the recognized reward Of party
services in the press. The government Is more
economical today in its journalism. Under the
old regime the Gazette had. besides its ed
itor, q staff Of FIVE clerks appointed by the
treasury. but in 1889 the treasury remodeled the
management of the paper, found the STAFF EN-
ployment elsewhere. and left the whole re-
sponsibility of the Gazette on its present
publishers, Messrs. Harrison & Sons, OF St.
Martins Lane. The printing os the paper has
been in the Harrison family for practically lso
years.
Absolute secrecy as to the contents Of any
forthcoming Gazette prevails at ST. Martins
Lane, and, though there are 8 thousand work
ers In Aessrs- Harrison's Offices, item Of
news has ever leaked out before its time.
