WORE REPUBLICAN BADNESS
An Admirable Time to Reecho the
Democratic Cry of 1S96-"Turn
the Rascals Out"

The republican leaders are gradual
ly being caught in the net set for
grafters. Over one hundred repub-
licans were included in the Bristow re-
port, a majority of when will hardly
succeed in attaining a coat of white
wash. When the Bristow report was
under discussion, the democrats made
a motion for an investigation of the
whole post Office department, which
was defeated by the republicans, who
claimed there vas was nothing wrong
except in the first assistant postmaster
generals department. 1t now appears
from evidence produced there is even
greater %rotteness in the department
under the second assistant postmaster
general. This was brught out in a
speech by Hon. Robert Baker. of
Brooklyn, which will be found in the
Congressional Record Of March IS, on
pages 2603-4, in which he quotes from
the Milwaukee Free Press charges
against Hon. ]. w. Babcock. of Wis
consin, of collision to defraud the
government by padding the amount Of
the official weighing of the mails. The
charges are supported by affidavits of
those government employees who car
| ried the mails anil makes a very clear
case against Mr. Babcock.
This is a very serious criminal
| charge, and the more so as the news
paper printing it is republican, and Con-
gresham Babcock cannot afford to al
low it to pass without demanding an
Investigation. If he does not take that
step the republican members of the
house of representatives will have to
lnaugurate it and eXpel him. or them
:elves be classed with the grafters.
Congressman Babcock being the
chairman of the republican congress.
sional committee stands forth as a
shining light of the republican party,
and as the acts charged against him
were committed when in command OF
the party interests, the whole republi
can party is involved if it does not
clear it's skirts of him.
1t would seem to be an admirable
time to reecho the democratic cry Oh

REPUBLICANS IN TROUBLE.
They Are Anxious to Adjourn Con-
gress, But Events Are Work.
ing Against Them.

The programme of the republican
leaders, which is backed NY President
Roosevelt, for an early adjournment
Of congress, has met with an unex-
pected obstacle in the probable i'm
parchment of Judge Swayne, of Flor
da. If the house of representatives
follows the recommendation of the jul
dietary committee this United States
Judge will be impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors. That will
entail that congress shall remain in
session some months longer than the
republican leaders hoped or intended.
In the meantime the various commit
tees are %prolonging the hearings on the
bills that the republicans do not wish
to go on record, so that If a report is
finally agreed upon it is intended to
be too late for final action. In that
they will not be called upon to vote for
or against these debatable questions.
Amongst these are the bills demanded
by the labor organizations for shorter
hours, anti-injunction and arbitration.
for reciprocity and tariff reform; for
free trade with the Philippines, recon-
mended by Gov. Taft; the service pen
sion bill; the bills for statehood for
the territories, which were promised in
the last republican platform; the ship
subsidy bill; the pure food bill; the
bill to increase the power of the inter-
state commerce commission to regu-
late railroad rates, and the Smoot anti.
polygamy case in the senate. All these,
and some others, the republican
ayers do not want the party to pass
upon before the election, as a record
vote on any of them might be dtsas'
trous in many states and perhaps
change the result of the national cleo.
ton.
The impeachment of Judge Swayne
would compel the house CT representa-
tives to remain in session, unless the
senate agreed that the lower house
could adjourn. after the appointment
of the managers of the impeachment
on the part of the house. The few prece-
dents seem to be against such an
agreement. With the house Of repre-
sentatives In session until well into
the summer there would be constant
opportunity for the democrats to ex-
plot the numerous mistakes OF the
party in power. There is also a dread
on the part of the republicans tina.
President Roosevelt will suddenly do
something that the country will mol
endorse, and with congress in session
1t would be emphasized by the demo-
cratic leaders.
SO it will be seen that the republl.
can leaders are in. a peck Of troiibl,
and will not be relieved in their mad
until congress has adjourned.

The Tariff and Foreign T1ade.

We think, however, that no matter
how the election goes, the tide will
shortly after that event set strong
against the present tariff. 1t is being
felt as an obstacle and clog On Ameri-
can industry in many ways. The high
cost of our raw material prevents our
export trade from expanding a it 9th
srwise would. Our restrictions on i'm
ports make it difficult for other ma
lions to trade with us. The demand
for new and greater markets is becom.
ing insistent. So we hear much talk
of reciprocity, of removing the duties
ON raw material and Of a general
lowering of our tariff wall. That new
outlets for our Astounding energy are
needed is proved by our attitude to-
ward the far eastern question. We
have insisted on the open door, and on
free access for our wares into China.
It is. of course, known that many of
che Dingley duties were p~urposely
made high in order that we may trade
them down. Yet congress has stupid
ly refused to make any concession

THEY HAD BETTER SOBER UP
Ohio Republicans Are Manifesting
Too Much Interest in Po-
litical Plumber.

Peace, we are told. has come, or is
on the way, to the Ohio republican fac
tions. 1t has been decided not to per-
NIT the distribution of a little post
| office patronage to wreck the party IN
! the Buckeye state. "Tis well, says the
Washington Star. The public expects
lively contests over good places, but
never sympathizes with men who carry
such contests to the extreme of injur-
ing party organization.
We have been treated to some
strange talk on the subject of the Ohio
situation. Last years election, as we
all know, was carried by a united re-
publican party, assisted by a consider
able number of democrats. The re-
publicans worked with all the greater
fervor because of the fact that Mr..
Hanna's seat in the senate was in the
balance, while those democrats who
slyly helped had in mind the showing
under of Tom Johnson. A majority OF
over 100, 900 testified to the interest
that was awakened.
Probably nobody worked harder
than Mr.. Foraker. He c~anvassed the
state for his colleague, and contributed
in every way to the success achieved.
He conceded, as everybody else did,
that it was Mr.. Hanna's year. The
junior senator, having impressed him.
self so strongly upon the country, was
clearly entitled to reelection, n 1t
was the duty of everybody. to exert
himself to that end. For the campaign
there must be only Hanna men. And
yet it was sought after the election to
turn the power thus put into Mr., Han
mas hands for a specific purpose tc
Mr.. Foraker's injury. 1t was stated fol
a time that he would not be allowed tt
go as a delegate to Chicago, and there
are still intimations, Notwithstanding
these reports of peace, that when hi!
present term in the senate expires HI
may have to fight vigorously for hi
life.
Mr.. Foraker, it is needless to say, l
q man of great force in the senate. HI
is one of his party's' readiest, mos
brilliant and most effective debaters
sharing with Mr.. Spooner the honor o
being put forward in all emergencies
when the greater questions are unde
discussion. The mere threat. therefore
of the loss of such a mar to the pub
lie service as the result of a petit.
squabble over patronage should be suf
fcient to sober I'D both sides in Obi
and produce harmony a foot thick.

Diseases Due to Autos.

Conjunctivitis, due to friction of the
wind and chilling of the eyeball, is
noted in America as a fairly common
result of fast driving. French and
German physicians, however, report
that all automobiling diseases are tn"
result of nervous excitement, and tn,
cases are sufficiently numerous to at
tract much attention. A typical rec
ord describes a patient who was at.
fected only on long Journeys. No dis
ease except brain disturbance then ap.
peared, but the fourth day Of traveI
invariably brought pain in the stom-
ach, with general nervousness, followed
by a chill. There was also palpitatior
of the neart, with an overwhelming
fear of sudden death.

RADlUM MINE IN LONDON.
Hundreds of Tons of Refuse Supposed
to Contain Much of the VAL
liable Mineral.

Incredible though it may seem, there
London. Thousands of people walk over
it every day, and never suspect that be-
meath their feet there is a quantity of the
most precious commodity the world hes
ever known, reports Tit-Bits.
At the present time radium is valued
at lbs. a milligramme, or one thirty
thousandth part of an ounce. An ounce
Of pure radium has never been found,
and if it could, authorities declare that
it would be worth ESQ, 900.
This precious substance is mainly to
be found in pitch-blende, an oxide of
uranium-of much value as a pigment
for coloring porcelain and tinting glass.
For many years past a %well-known firm
of analytical chemists and m~etallurgists
in London has been throwing away the
b%y-products obtained from pitch-blende
in the process of extracting uranium,
and in doing so has discarded close upon
Ell, 000, 900 worth of radium.
"Of course" one of the members of
the firm in question said to the writer
recently, "radium is only a recent dis
covery, and had we known the value of
that we should have taken the greatest
care of it, instead of having it taken
away in d~ust-carts. AS a matter of fact,
we paid IS. Cd. per ton to have the res
tdue carried away, and it was ultimate
ly used for levelling and laying out roads
in the city, and for filling in the founda-
lions of houses.
1.-THE greater part of the pitch-blendt
used by us was obtained from Joachims'
thai, in Austria, now the chief source Of
the new element. The Austrian govern.
ment has now, however, prohibited the
expectation of the residues of the mines
of Jo%achimsthal, probably with the idea
of making a corner in radium. But
formerly WI practically enjoyed a mo-
nopoly of the Mines"
For something like 70 years this par
ticular firm of chemists was engaged in
the work of extracting uranium from
pitch-blende, and during that time hun
dreds of tons of radium-laden residue'
were carted away from its premises
1t il estimated that from one to 81,
grains of radium were contained in eacl
ton of refuse, and thai, somewhere I'm
der London close upon 81, 900 900 wortl
of radium has been buried. Further
more, this radium is still in existence
for one of the chief properties of tn
substance is that 1t is indestructible.

Of what use is this education unless applied to some practical purpose!
This, l believe, is the underlying thought that lives in most thoughtful
women. 1t is but another expression of the creative impulse common to
all.
AS to the right or wrong of married women entering the business
world it would seem difficult to me to come to any abstract decision.
One woman can scarcely judge for another. Personally l cannot under
stand how any mother of young children can care to leave them for the
sake of any outside endeavor, but there are plenty of women with no
ties of this kind. And as to the theory that the married woman in bust
ness is unjusly occupying the place of the unmarried worker who must
earn her own bread and butter, the moment work becomes in the slightest
degree individual or distinctive this theory is disproved. And l cannot
think that the repression or elimination of the creative impulse that sends
the otherwise unoccuped married woman out into the larger field could
be productive of any good.

GENUINE COURTESY AT SEA
Kindly Formalities Observed Between
Ships Meeting Upon the Ocean
Highway.

The passing of two vessels within
speaking distance in mid-ocean is al
ways an impressive experience. Even
the most Indifferent of travellers must
feel a thrill at the exchange of saluta-
tons in such circumstances. The &C.
count of such a meeting, told by a sailor
on the United States training ship Hart
ford, and reported in the New York Trib-
une, is of more than ordinary interest.
The Hartford, Farragut's old flagship.
was ten days out from Madeira. Supper
was over and the crew, 500 strong, were
enjoying the leisure hour in the soft light
of the full moon, when a full-rigged
ship was sighted, every stitch of canvas
set. She was bound to cross close in the
Hartford's wake, but the thickening
evening haze soon hid her from view.
Presently the watch officer cried out:
"I saw a white light flash from where the
ship ought to be-"
We thought it might be the glisten of
the moor on her sails; but it appeared
again, this time long continued and
plainly visible, a signal of distress, a
call for aid. Many were the conjectures
as to what it could mean. Probably the
crew were short of water; or some one
was desperately i'll and a surgeon was
wanted from our steamer; or the vessel
might have sprung a leak.
Without a moments delay our captain
ordered the helm to %starboard. The
great ship swung slowly about and bore
down upon the stranger. Gradually the
two vessels drew together until the
lights shone clear and the outlines were
we'll defined.
Now the order rang out, quick and dis
tinct:
Stand by to clear the life-boat; make
ready to lower!'
The approaching vessel was now close
to our port bow, but we heard no hail.
"Try her!" ordered our captain
Hail her with the magaphone."

Ducks Broke the Ice.

A writer in an eastern publication
says: During the slight frosts which
prevailed in January a well-flled ditch
was frozen over. A party of tame ducks
that were wont to frequent it found
themselves shut out, and after fruitless-
ly bibbling around the edges, suddenly
arose upon the wing and from a slight
elevation dropped in the middle upon
the frozen surface, thereby making for
themselves a swimming pool by smash
ing the thin ice"

WAy Womem Are in Business
By MRS. ROBERT L. PARSONS,
Head of the Chicago School of Physical Education and Expression.

The fact that more and more married women are
becoming prominently identified with business and
professional life yearly is the result of the natural Gull
mination of many slow-growing causes. 1t would, in
fact, be almost impossible for other conditions than
those which exist to-day to prevail.
Ambition, the sense of pleasurable power in sue
cessful accomplishment, these spur on the business
or professional woman just as they do her husband or
or brother. The broader education now general
among women gives at once the means and the posi-
bilitv of telling work in the field outside the home.
