"SHH!"

Dixon (Neb) Herald-Those who
attended the woodman ball Tuesday
evening no doubt supposed they We're
enjoying about the best thing in the
way of social amusement that this old
world affords. All such will be sur
prised to learn that there is something
in store for them that will relegate
the may waltz to the back shelf.
where the cobwebs of obscurity will
soon weave their silent mantle around
it, for 10 the heads of New York and
Washington society have declared
that sitting out" waltz will be more
fashionable from now on than dancing
The sitting out" embodies the same
position as dancing-the only differ
ence is that you sit instead of dance
The mans right arm is around the
girls waist, while his left hand holds
her right. Her left hand is placed
upon his shoulder, while her head
rests lovingly upon his bosom. and
all they have to do is to sit and listen
to the music.
Now that is somthing like it. We
have always regarded it as a nuisance
to have to gallop a mile or two in
order to get good hug. A room
full of people sitting around on sofas
hugging to music is more to our no
ton. This will give the old rheu-
matte brethren another chance to
waltz. Most men waltz, not for the
dance, but for the position. and while
a man may lose his appetite for dane
ing. he has got to get mighty old be-
fore he loses his appetite for hugging
pretty girl.
The Herald editor has interviewed
several of the prominent young So
ciety men about town in reference to
the new dance" and without excep-
tion they have expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of it and they pro-
pose getting up one in the near future.

Russell Ia.) Union-The wall is
continually being heard that no one
ever thinks of paying the editor for
his work in connection with the last
sad rites over the deceased loved one
Brethren of the press, | have to make
exception. A young lady recently
died and was buried in Russell and
the next day when we were writing
an obituary her brother came in and
laid down a clipping in regard to her
and $5 bill, telling us TO publish it.
1t was the first time in our newspaper
career we had been so treated, and of
course we greatly appreciated the act.
Now doesn't it look reasonable that
the newpaper which tells the story
and speaks the words of consolation
to thousands for and near is justly
entitled to it? If not, why not?
Russell has one minister, j. l..
Johnson, of the NJ f. Church, whose
name and fame deserves to be spread
far and wide by the press of Iowa in
order that ministers may see the error
of their ways and return to well do
ing. Rev. johnson never has a we'd
ding where the toll is S. but he brings
us write up and 10 per cent of the
proceeds for what he calls wedding
cake" OF course. if some stingy
cuss don't ''cough-up" that much, the
editor receives a shorter write up and
only half piece of cake. Neverthe-
less, we are satisfied and consider
Rev. Johnson model in his profes-
sion, and we believe the unanimous
voice of the press is with us in our
contention. We would naturally give
all our trade in that line to him, but
as our wife's health is most excellent
we really don't think the hope of gain
is any incentive to the good minister
in his liberality. Let others take UP
this excellent habit and see the I'm

COLORADO APPOINTMENTS.

Colorado Springs Gazette: A Wash

decided by President Roosevelt that
Colorado federal patronage shall be
regulated through regular channels.
the congressmen-elect. This decision
has been announced following the pre-
sentation to the president of the Colo

Mr. Stewart and ex-senator Wolcott,
both of whom have been in Washing

have had extended conferences with
the president.
A meeting of Congressman Brooks
and Hogg was held, at which Mr..
Stewart was present, and the question
of patronage was discussed, though
not in a formal manner. No definite
plan of procedure was adopted and
no decision reached upon the reported
proposed removal of Colorado federal
ofIiceholders.
II was decided to recommend candi-
dates for several existing vacancies,

THE EXEMPTION BILL.

The house has amended the exemp
tion bill so that 1t bears but little re
semblance to the original bill. This
measure is very simple one. and has
for its obejct the collection of the
just debts due the business men of jhe
state. The present law exempts $50
of salary as not being subject to gar.
nishee. The proposed law exemptS
so per cent of a mans wages. and
permits him to retain the other 80
per cent.
1t is difficult to see how such .,lll
as the one proposed would work hard
ship upon any map who honestly pro-
posed to pay his debts. In fact, it
ought not to be necessary for any
man to proceed to law to collect what
is his due. A man who buys food or
clothing or household goods ought to
pay for them, for no man, even though
he be in business, can afford to feed
and clothe his neighbors fr,'a gratis.
Hence it is only proper that a man
who sells goods, which are just the
same as cash out of his pocket, should
get his money from those who buy
In short. those who pay their honest
debts have nothing to fear from an
exemption of the kind proposed, and
those who will not pay them. in JUS
tice to the merchants and those who
do pay their debts, ought to be COM
PEELED to liquidate.

REVENUE FOR STATE PURPOSES

A bill has been introduced in the
New York legislature imposing tax
of ten cents on every certificate made
before notary public or commission
er of deeds and tax of ten cents on
each 500 of value of land expressed
in a conveyance. 1t is roughly esti-
mated that the two taxes will put in
the state treasury about $2,000.000 a
year and relieve to that extent real
and personal property from taxation
Tor state purposes. The national gov
ernment taxed transfers of real estate
in the war revenue act of 1898 at a
higher rate than the one mentioned
above but that act has been repealed,
and if the bill now under considera-
tion at Albany should pass, the taxa
tion it provides for will hardly be felt.
rhe proposed New York legislation
goes to show how easy 1t is for rich
state with diversified industries to
find ample revenue for its needs,
though they be large. without dividing
with counties and minor municIpiali-
ties the proceeds of the direct tax
alton of the real and personal prop
erty within their limits. 1t can OBJ
tain the revenue it requires from fran
chise taxes and other sources and be
altogether independent of direct taxa
tion. Then it can with safety permit
every county to make its assessment
on whatever basis it pleases.

An idea of the enormous growth of
the Russian egg trade can be obtained
(remarks the st. Petersburg cores
pondent of the London Chronicle),
from the following statistics showing
the quantity OF eggs sent abroad from
Kazan on the Volga. In 1877 foreign
merchants arrived in Kazan and COM
menced to purchase eggs for the En-
gish and German markets. In 1890
there was such a demand for Russian
eggs that the number exported was
so 900 900. In Kazan alone there are
now six foreign firms buying up all
the eggs they can come across-not
only In Kazan, but also In other
places. In 1902 the export OF eggs
from Kazan and several other towns
on the Volga amounted to 1880 wag-
ons. or 1s5,000.O00 eggs. valued at
$500. 900 roubles. or more than f250.-

There is measure now pending be-
fore the legislature that in the alb
stract gives promise Of the attainment
of greatly desired result-the better
payment of taxes The proposed
measure provides that when war
rant issued for fees to juror. witness
or other person in attendance on the
courts shall be presented for payment
the collector shall certify that the
holder of the warrant is not indebted
to the county for taxes before the
same shall be paid. The bill offered
is a copy of the law now in effect in
Mississippi, and statements from citi-
zens of that state go to show that the
working of the law is all that could be
desired. it even being stated that at
the beginning of a recent term of
court the collector asked the clerk for
list of all jurors summoned and on
checking the list up with the tax
books it was found that there was not
one of them who was indebted to the
county or state for taxes.

AN INSPIRED sLykpER.

Nothing has been more amusing in
connection with the negotiations be-
tween Minister Bowen and the ambas-
sadors of Great Britain. Germany and
Italy than the. alleged "affront' of
fered to the representative OF Eng
land by the accredited agent of Venez-
uela. The indiscretion OF Mr.. Bowen,
if it was not intentional. was a beau
tiful blunder for which he cannot be
sufficiently grateful. In diplomatic
circles he will long have the credit
of having stumbled into success.
But it is not yet clearly established
TO the satisfaction of everybody that
he stumbled. He may only have
gone lame for a purpose. His
bluffness, his crudeness, his cruel can
dor may have been an affectation of
simplicity. MIR. Bowen said to Sir
Michael Herbert:
"It will be the source Of the great
est surprise and regret when it be-
comes known here that Great Britain
has even proposed continuing the alli-
ance with Germany and Italy a mo-
ment longer than she must"
Manifestly this sentiment was not
intended for consumption in Venezu-
ella, nor yet in the United States.
Though made in the United States. 1t
was addressed to the people of Eng
land. to whom the German alliance
is source of perpetual irritation and
discomfort. If the purpose of Mr.
Bowen had been to embarrass the
British government at home he could
not have gone more skilfully about It,
OF course the British government
was deeply offended, and through its
representative demanded that the
phrase he withdrawn. Equally. of
course, it was withdrawn from the
official file. But it has not been and
cannot be Withdrawn from the press
nor from the attention of the British
public
AS blunderer Mr.. Bowen is an i'm
mense success. He accomplished
what he was after He touched the
British government on the raw. He
was most undiplomatic, but he got all
that he wished He may not figure
in history as a great displomat, but
he will not soon be forgotten in Wash
ington. 1t was said of old, 'The truth
should not be spoken at all times"
yet there are commissions in diplo-
macy when the truth may well be
spoken imprudently and apologized
for afterwards.

TO ELECT COUNTY ATTORNEYS

Colorado Springs Telegraph: The
Colorado senate has passed the bill re-
lating to county attorneys. 1t pro-
vides that hereafter such attorneys
shall be elected by the people instead
of being appointed by the county com
missioners.
1t is a sound and reasonable propo-
sition. 1t does away with the ele-
ment of favoritism which is bound to
be connected with such an Office where
the commissioners have the appoint
ment.
When it is known that a man is to
go before the people as a candidate
for the office of county attorney polit-
ical parties will see to it that he Is a
man of standing in the community,
professional as well as otherwise.
No mistake is made in asking the
people to elect their officials. Every
other county Office, including that of
county commissioner, is an elective Of
flee, and there is no reason why the
attorneys Office should not be in
cluded with the rest of them.
