At O'Clock there was scarcely a light
TO be seen. but various sounds more or
less distinctly reached our ears. Once
or twice n rumbling train passed; from
time to time the barking of a dog. and
all night through the constant chorus Of
the frogs. and the twittering Of the
birds (they seem less joyful than in the
daytime) which never ceased. All the

THE POSTAL THIEYERY.

The Washington Times appears to
think that the Administration is IN no
danger Of popular censure. because II

says The Times. 1T will be found that
Democratic leaders were quite as much
the 'bcneflciaries' OF the system in
augurated by the ring as some OF their
Republican friends. Indeed, the whole
stupendous structure Of fraud and
thievery erected by those now trying
to dodge the arm OF the law was pur-
posely made 10 rest upon a generous
elimination Of party lines"
There is no doubt that the rascaIs
who engineered this gigantic scheme
OF corruption and robbery proved them
selves 10 be exceedingly clever: but IL
is fact that the cleverest Of rascals
have. sooner or later. overreached them
selves and this is what tho Postofilce
ringsters appear 10 have done
It is to be doubted that the public can
be led to ignore or mako light Of this
grave scandal. because the schemers
may have succeeded in making some
Democrats sharers IN the plumber. And
even II it be a fact that this great sys-
TEN Of fraud and robbery has left no
faint on the present Administration, the
Republican party can not shirk response
bility for il, and there must be a reck-
oning sooner or later.
The perfect purging of the Postofice
Department by the present Administra-
ton with exposure OF the rascals of
high and low degree, Is the only thing
that can keep the scandal out OF the
campaign Of 1904. and. 70 all appear

taryship of state. and his other brothers
and nephews TO high Offices in connec-
ton with the Vatican. thus placing 10

Counting in the Hammock.
Symbolism and Satisfaction of the
Swing Swang Wooing.

'COme into the garden Maud; ] am
here at the gate alone, and the other
boarders are waited abroad, and the
hammock Is all our own"
That's how Tennyson would write
ii had he known the ways of Ameri-
can summering in the hot old simmer
time. For to about One-half our pop
ulation, comprising the counting and
the courted folk, the summering ham
mock is a sacred institution tacitly
prescribed by the Declaration of In
dependence. Life and liberty the
young people could have without
hammoeks, to be sure, and maybe hap
piness, but please observe that the
Declaration speaks Of the pursuit Of
happiness"
Ask John where is happiness, and
he will say it dwells where Jane is;
ask Jane, and she thinks of him and
hammock, and answers in her
sanity way that tits in heaven.
Pursuit implies going, and so we
find pairs Of lovers always on the 60,
except when harsh winter imprisons
them in the parlor, and grandma has
the rocking chair. Love Is as restless
as the heaving sea courtship has the
rhythmic ebb and flow Of its tides.
When Coney Island has most Of beach
It is high water at Port Said, quarter
way around the world; when the
cookies Of Galway rattle a welcome
to the returning tides the sands are
bare at Pe-chi-h. So, when the swain
makes advances the maid is most re
firing, but she has a store Of blan-
dishments and wiles 10 win him back
when he shows signs of sulk or indif-
ference. This game Of tag by two Is
the pursuit Of happiness, and the
pendulum swing-swang Of the ham
mock is the symbol and the satisfac-
tory instrument thereof.
Come into the garden, Maud, where
hangs the sly net hammock from
laden boughs Of two discreet old APP
pie trees. Sit you on that side; I'll
take this. Let Cupid sway the hang
ing seat gently in your direction.
Now I'm pursuing You and happiness.
Twill come back presently of itself,
and then ] will admit 70 your pout-
ing that You and happiness are being
still pursued.

Hot a Comfortable Situation.

The situation was not agreeable. for
we all remembered clearly the accident
last year In Sweden, when the Swenske
exploded a the height of a mile because
the appendix had not been opened. There
was IN our case, however. no negligence;
the cord which bound the appendix had
been cut. but the workman who climbed
up and held IL closely during the five
minutes awaiting the start had uncon-
sciously-the heat OF his hands acting on
the vaTnish-scaled It. But whatever the
cause, IL was necessary that 1t should
be opened promptly II an accident was
TO be avoided. for it was impossible to
entertain for a moment the idea OF a de-
scent on the roofs OF Paris at night
After repeated and unavailing efforts 20
open the appendix by striking against Il
with the ropes which connect with the
upper part OF the balloon, the pilot an
nounced his intention Of climbing into
the rigging TO reach it. when there came
to US from above strong odor of gas.
Looking up, we saw that the pressure
had forced Il open, and all was well.

Made for Gregory XVI.

The one usually worn by Leo XIII, and
which will doubtless be used for the
coronation of his successor, was that
made for Gregory XVI, 1t Is adorned
with some 200 precious stones. The papal
tiara. instead of being divided in the
center as the episcopal mitre, is per-
fectly closed. The mitre, as everyone
knows. Is a survival of the Jewish faith.
and was worn by the Jewish high priests
long prior to the foundation OF Chris
tianity.
Let me add that the crozier with which
the new Pope is invested during the
course OF the mass preceding his cor
onatiOn is distinguished from those Of
all cardinals. archbishops, bishops and
abbots in that it is surmounted by a
cross instead OF a shepherds crook. II
Is said that one OF the reasons why the
other dignitaries of the church have the
upper end OF their crozier bent into the
form OF crook is a symoo, or the fact
that their owners are compelled to bow
to the will Of the Supreme Pontif.

In a Receptive Mood.

The Hon. William Alden Smith OF
Michigan Is mentioned" in the list Of
possibilities as a candidate for Vice
President on the ticket with President
Roosevelt. He is said TO be in a recep-
tive mood. but really It would be
shame to do it. Some kind friend ought
to tell the Grand Rapids representative
that the Vice Presidency is no place for
him and that he should not bottle up his
energies there
That political sepulcher is for dead
ones" and the Hon. William Alden
Smith Is too much alive and kicking"
to be buried therein. He is young, ag-
gressive and popular and has political
career before him which it would DO
folly to ieopardize by accepting the Vice
Presidency. Some day, If he puts aside
his ambition to preside over the Senate
and If the members of the Michigan
Legislature are wise and know their
business. the Hon. William Alden Smith
will be a real Senator and have power
to do things, which is heap" better
than sitting upon the rostrum and rap
ping now and then, In dignifed man
ner. with gavel.
There can be no doubt but that the
Hon. William Alden Smith would make
a strong candidate on the ticket with
the President. and Michigan is entitled
to the honor. The Smith family alone
by voting for him en- bloc would be able
to turn almost any State in the Union
to the Republican column. Should Mr..
Smith be nominated. however. Il would
be interesting to note just how he would
reconcile his differences with the Presi-
dent upon the question Of Cuban reel

No man was more outspoken In his OBJ

statesman from Grand Rapids.
He was the recognized leader Of the
Insurgents who Joined with the Dem

the matter is taken up In the forthcom-

time as he may be elected to the Senate
which may be at no very remote day.

The Field of Politics

The opponents OF the Hon. Reed Smoot

Railroad Accidents.
Their Causes Should Be Studied and
Avoided by Railroad Managers.

Statistics show that more people
were killed in a year on our railroads
than were slain in the South African
war, which Is, to say the least, some
what alarming. 1t has been said that
the safest place in the world is aboard
railroad train, and that, in proper.
ton to the opportunities for accident,
the loss Of life is really slight; but
that does not alter the fact that rail
roads could be SO constructed and
conducted that the risk would be prac-
tieally nothing. compared with what
II is now.
Those who have watched the rec
ords of railway casualties viii find
that certain proportion of accidents
are caused by the overworking of
employees, and this is a thing which
can be, and ought to be. stopped. No
man should be required to be response
BILE for the lives of a train-load of
people when he has been working fif-
teen, eighteen, or twenty hours, even
if he happens to be used to that so1t
of thing. 1t is not only an injustice
to the man; it is an unjustifiable i'm
position on the public.
Another cause of accidents is the
imperfect condition of roadways. and
this also can to a certain extent be
prevented. It has been said that an
American company will allow trains
TO be run over a road which an Eng
hsh corporation would not use for a
construction way, and this statement.
while it may be overdrawn, has I'M
questionably some foundation. It is
not justifiable to save money at the
risk of life.
The third cause Of accidents lies in
the earelessness Of railway employees
about their own lives. Men who work
at dangerous trades are inclined to be
reckless and to risk life and limb
when it is not absolutely necessary.
This is a matter which the public can
not settle and with which it has little
concern. But the other two causes of
accident can, and should, be made
less fruitful than they are.
