SUN SHINES ON GORMAN.

An editorial cynic of the New York
Sun, commenting on the return of
the Maryland Moses of Democracy,
disports himself in this-fashion
1.-The Hon. Arthur Pue German,
back from Europe with new stories of
sagacity and silence, has obliged the
reporters with an interview. An in
terview with him is very much like q
continuation of silence. He has no
passion for expression, and TIL e
thoughts in his deep-revolving intel
lectuals are never thrust out prema-
turely. Asked what he regarded as
the paramount issues for next year,
he made this child-like and bland re-
ply:
There's the reformation" of the
tariff, for one thing. Economy for
another. Honesty-honesty in pub
lie places, 1 should say, as the other
THE phrase paramount issues
must have reminded him of Mr..
Bryan, so long paramount and bound
to paramount issues. Having men
toned three paramounters, Mr.. Cor
man calmly picked two of them to
pieces. The postoffice frauds might
hurt the Republicans or the Republi-
cans might make capital out of them
and their own zeal and honesty in
hunting them. There's no telling
what the people will do They may
forget the postoffice frauds. So one
paramount issue falls. And they may
not care rap about economy. Why,
we can have "billion-dollar" Cong
ress these days, and you never hear
a word Disappearance of another
paramount issue. Eft deux Mr.. Cor
mans thrilling interest in his remain
ing paramount issue, the 'reforma-
ton of the tariff, may be judged by
the company he makes it keep.
Gas to the paramount Bryan and
Organism, and their influence upon
the campaign of 1904, Mr.. German
can't say or won't. It's too far
away and he is not long distance
campaigner. One cannot tell what
is going to happen and Mr.. German
is not the man to tell what he thinks
is going to happen. He prefers under
statement to reinstatement, as when
he says:
He has differed with Mr.. Cleve-
land, but never quarreled with him &;
and it is plain that he is not going to
quarrel with anybody else. AS usual,
he is discreet, expectant of oppor
tunity, pacific, perhaps the least cock
sure of politicians.

THE democratic papers of the coun-
try have been getting off great deal
of gush about the post office frauds at
Washington. Some of them have
gone so far as to SANDER our martyred
president, William Mckinley, by say
ing that the frauds had been discover
ed during his life and that he kept
them hid from the public. Shame on
the man who would thus SANDER the
dead! No loyal American citizen will
for moment harbor such an idea. If
this wholesale thievery in the Post
Office Department had been discoveed
during McKinley's administration he
would have scattered the rascals just
as promptly as Roosevelt is doing
The investigation and the dismissals
are going on whole lot too rapidly
to suit some of the democrats, Mach
en-, for instance.

THE NEW POPE.

The almost universal approval of
the conclave of cardinals, in electing
Cardinal Sarto to be Pope, attests
the worldwide admiration for a
scholarly man of great piety, whose
chief happiness has been in minister
ing to the physical as well as to the
spiritual wants of humanity. He is
said to be man entirely without os-
tentation. When in the past friends
have asked what he would do if made
Pope, referring to his modesty and
affability, he replied: Il shall have
white robes instead of red; that will
be the only change. l shall remain
the same Sarto as ever
His chief recreation has been in
music, in long walks about Venice,
and by the sea. 'Heigho'" he ex-
claimed on the morning following his
elevation to the Pontificate, How
shall get on without my long coun-
try tramps? How shall miss them
and my sea.
The best testimonial however, is
that he is greatly beloved by the
Venetians, among whom he has lived
so long.
He may te unable to get away from
the rigid forms of his environment,
but he may in his great Office, as we'll
as In the lesser, continue his work of
love among mankind, which is the
foundation of all true religion.

State, by Democratic officials, for the
pretended use of the Board of Public
Works in little jobs during a heated
and corrupt political campaign, was
ever returned to that fund, nor other
wise justly accounted for-thus COM
polling the closing of the public
schools of the whole State for several
months, and the deprivation of the
teachers salaries in the meantime.
Perhaps they think because the Re-
publicans not long since compelled
Free Rasin & Co" to reluctantly dis
gorge some $4,000 of public money,
which they 'innocentlyn claimed and
appropriated to their own use, in ad-
dition to their unearned salaries, that
that tardy justice ''evens up and
cancels all past, present and future
Democratic " irregularities, and
places them in an easy position to
violently and falsely accuse-as they
do-the whole Republican party, and
present honest and fearless national
administration, of stealing everything
in sight
But then, of course, they must have
an Issue" of some kind with which
they vainly think to deceive the
common people. st. Mary's Enter

THE INNOCENT DEMOCRACY.

1t is really refreshing, and not a
little amusing, to note the gleeful
gusto with which the Maryland Dem
ocracy, especially, are pleased to dis
cuss' the postal scandals brought to
light by Republican activity and in
Notwithstanding, as they do,
both individual Democrats and Re-
publicans alike throughout the whole
country, in Congress and out, in
disreputable attempt to rob the pub
lie Treasury which is nothing new
under the sun.
The maryland innocents," espec-
tally, are very profuse and vim dictive
in their animadversions and partisan
accusations of yenility, forgetting, it
would seem, that an acknowledged
"defalcation" of $4,000 by a Demo
cratic Treasurer of this State has not
yet been officially accounted for
though nearly everybody in the State
at that time knew pretty well where
it all went neither would the ode
faultingn victim of corrupt political
environments under the twin bosses,
German and Rasin, ever reveal the
facts in the case. Nor were his
"bondsmen" ever brought to account
thereof, owing to the corrupt negli-
gence of high State officials in the
premises, as the history thereof
proves.
These little " irregularities, '''how-
ever, seem to be forgotten by the in
nocent Maryland critics in the present
case. Nor do they seem to remember
at all that the $150,OOO once illegally
diverted from what ought to have
been the sacred school fund of the

A MONSTER RATTLESNAKE
Killed by Mr.. William Brow ming
1t Treasured Five Feet.

One day last week Mr.. William
Browning, Sr., who resides on his
farm a few miles west of Oakland,
was i'll a field moving some grass
when he encountered monster rattle
snake, which he killed after deliver
ing several sharp blows upon his
snakeship's back with a stout club.
An examination of the dead reptile
amazed Mr.. Browning and all Others
who saw it, as it measured a little
over five feet in length and was a foot
in circumference. The rattles were
removed from its tail and numbered
twenty-three, indicatingl that the
snake was twenty-six years old.

FRENCH VIEW OF AMERICAN
 LIFE

M. Urbain Confer, the energetic edi-
 tor of the Paris Aurore, who took such
 an active part in exposing the de- linquencies of the military chiefs in the Dreyfus affair, and who has for some
 years led a continuous attack on militar- ism in France, lately spent five months in this country, seeing things for him. self and writing an account of what he
 saw for the benefit of his countrymen. His book, too, makes good reading for
 Americans, though it is primarily ad- dressed to the French. He says you can observe and get to understand larger number Of things in the United States than anywhere else in the same space of
 time, because life is more there-private life as well as public life. Family
 affairs. are carried on in broad day. light; marriages, betrothals, divorces, quarrels between man and wife, busi- ness failures, wills, honest dealings and shady transactions are announced, ex- plained. commented upon openly and
 publicly. When the papers do not give
 enough details, those who are inter-
 ested take upon themselves to supply the deficiency. Nothing is secret. There is no false shame; and sometimes indeed, there is a lack of modesty and
 delicate restraint. But all this is very
 convenient for the foreign observer.
 In this chaos of humanity, wherein
 men of black skin, yellow skin, and red skin are mingled with men of every tribe of white skin, good and evil carry on their eternal battle. Humanitarian soAs al f11n warrl-hearted, self-sacrificing people spend an enormous amount of goodwill and energy; works of charity and popu- | lar education are innumerable. Crime | Is more audacious and more ingenious than anywhere else. There is as much virtue as in any place in the world, and nearly as much hypocrisy as in Eng land. Scandalous adultery Is rarer than in France, because divorce Is ex- cessively easy; but the revolver plays | an equally important role in the tragico-
 medies of love. Vice is less bold, but much more brutal Blaek-uuardism is little know, but a party bent on hav- ing good time very soon begin to look
 like a band of registering sailors. In | America, a man marries wife and her only. In France, where the family is a sort of entity, he rnarries the whole lot of them-the grabbed mother-in-law, the -tempered aunt, the worthless lbig brother, the silly little sister, the ill.,

 groom can ignore the existence of all

that had helped us down from Leadville was following and We Jagged it From that point down to Manitou We made a slow run, expecting to find the train piled up in some of the canons along the way and to have to carry the remains of the rest of the boys down to Colorado City with us. We were forty five minutes making the run to Color ado City. Our surprise at finding that there had been no one hurt in the wreck that we found there was equalled only by our surprise at being alive our selves"
 An investigation was held last Tues day at the office of the superintendent at Colorado City. Those present were the crew of the wrecked train, the superintendent of the motive power, the travelling engineer, the air brake ex- pert and the general superintendent. The main reason for the cause of the wreck brought out in the investigation was that the train was composed of so many foreign cars with low breaking power. An explanation of this is that the breaking power of the foreign cars is only from 49 to 50 per cent. and that of the home cars is from 70 to 90 per cent, the difference being due to thefact that foreign cars, as rule, have con- paratively level roadbeds to travel over, while the home cars are adapted to the steep and curving tracks of the mouri- tain sides. When the foreign cars are placed on the mountain roads and load ed heavily and the air brakes be- ing about 40 per cent. of the weight of the cars, they cannot be applied with nearly the force of those of the moun- tain cars, whose breaking power is about 80 per cent. of the weight.
 This train was composed mostly of foreign cars. We have descended the same mountains over the same roadbed with just as many cars as we had Monday, morning, but never with so many foreign cars. The road had been very careful not to have too many cars of low braking power on the same train, but they will be much more careful now that the accident has occurred.-Colo- rado Springs Telegraph.
