A Heavy Hail.

Last Thursday, during the
spell of rain and bad weather
which visited this section, it is;
reported that a heavy fall of hail
occurred at Isle de Cannes,
which killed about twO-hundred
wild geese which were passing
over the parish at the time.

Drawing a Line.

Somebody writes to a New York
paper TO congratulate Miss Weues on
her narrow escape from the deep
disgrace Of christening a warship. &"
The brief eBistle concludes, Blessed
are the peacemakers!"
The writing Of this note serves to
draw a line between the reformer
and the crank. The author OF the
missive is not a refoTmer.
The fact viii be remembered that
Miss Welles was invited 20 christen
the battIeship Connecticut, and, ap-
preciating the honor, accepted. The
bottle OF wine was so wrapped and
the young lady so ratified that there
was failure on her part to break it,
She deserves fun credit for trying,
however, and, seeing her effort futile,
lusty workman smashed the glass
upon the side Of the vessel, thus
chasing afar the threatened ''hoo-
doc" dreaded of all sailors.
But Tor the explanatory quotation,
blessed are the peacemakers," we
might have considered the cOmmuni-
cation as coming from a Carrie Ma
ton and evoked by the thought OF a
ceremonial marked by the use of
wine Notwithstanding the peculiar
view expressed in the note. there Is
reason TO fear that Miss WeIIes is
implicated too deeply to be excused
on the suggested plea.
There was never before a time
when so many thoughtful men and
women were aroused to a sense Of the
horror of war. Nations are uniting in
sentiment, and the expression Of the
common desire that battle cease is
gradually taking on definite form.
The minds at the head Of the move
ment are sane and sincere. They
recognize thai the new order OF
things cannot be brought about on
the instant, that yet It is a duty for
a people, though abhorring strife, 20
be able 10 meet it, or by a condition
Of preparedness able TO avert IT,.

Toned mOlasses taffy. But pie-the
last bulwark OF real Americanism, as
the Times" aptIy describes 1.-THE
blood Of every good American will
boil when he reads that it is not even
what he thought it was.
Out in the country, travellers say,
pie is a commodity 10 make honey
from Rymettus look like warm no
key-pokey. The manufacturer Is a
gentle-faced, whOle-souled woman,
who wears a clean apron and has
prominent elbows. She puts real
pumpkin in her pumpkin pies; makes
the mincemeat for her mince pies;
cuts fresh apples or ripe peaches for
her apple and peach pies; and turns
out a product which dehes the scien-
list the while it laves the palate.
But in the city. pumpkin, mince,
apple. and peach are names, not va
rieties. Indeed, there are bakeries
which use numbers instead. And the
product is swallowed exactly as IL is.
take it or leave it, No one objects to
this situation. A hundred thousand
men. or Whereabouts, in Washington,
take their pumpkin or their mince-
meat or their fruit on faith.
Now comes science to tell us be
ware. But we common people refuse.
Our pie is cur strength and our de-
light. No disclosure Of its dark Sc
crets can make us lose faith in it.
Science goes too far when it tells the
city man his pie is not even what it
seems.

Awakening the SleepeTs.

A call has been issued to the mem
bers Of the National Association Of
Democratic Clubs. 1t occupies an
entire page OF one OF the papers
owned by the president of the asso-
citation, and his signature is appended.
The authorship Of the call is, Of
course. an Office secret, and the guilty
person must hope that this secrecy
viii not be violated. The only man
who could afford TO sign such a screed
would be one known not to be equal
10 the task Of formulating il.
To analyze the preachment would
be TO invest it with dignity that would
be a misit. Better regard it as a
mere summons for the sIeepers TO
waken, give to the cause a valiant
whOop and such spare change as they
may chance to have. Then they can
fall into slumber again. thankful TO
risk It's troubled dreams rather than
endure the memory Of a licking, duly
administered and deserved.
1t is a circumstance Of interest,
however. that the call bursts upon the
senses in company with the informa-
ton that the caller has just been
nominated to succeed himself in Con-
gress. There had been doubt upon
this point, but a conclusion seems 70
have been reached that a Congress-
man who won't do anything is pref
cradle to one who might do the wrong
thing. There is safety in numbness.
The call is important in that It com
mits the organ disseminating it, to-
gether with others Of the brand, TO
the support Of the Democratic ticket.
This support had been promised. but
so assiduOusly withheld that it was
not regarded by Judge Parker's
friends as a serious handicap. Now
the Judge has a new burden to bear.
This support is his, and he can't get
rid Of it.
Perhaps the support is rendered in
good faith. There Is no suspicion
that the Republican committee plotted
20 bring about the pleasing change.
So full Of quirks is the mind Of even
the unasylumed human that IL is pos
slble ii is operating in this INSTANCE

edge of the pODuIar estimate

Tie ARMY an Issue.

Mr.. Bryan's doctor has permitted
the NebTaskan TO wander forth out Of
the vale of silence and give speech.
Mr.. Bryan is embarrassed, but he has
the courage not to make a display OF
his shaken confidence. He is doing
the best he can. TIE truth is, his pO-
sition Is a trying one Accustomed TO
enlarge upon certain issues that
through long association have become
dear TO him, he has 10 view the mel
ancholy spectacle Of these pet issues
yanked up ruthIessly and cast into
the oblivion upon the brink Of which
they had f1ourished. but with pre-
carious grip.
Old issues dead, Mr.. Bryan must
have a new one. He selects the army.
Thus he gets quickly into touch with
the felicitOus Bourke Cochran, who
prOclaims that the President regards
the laborer as an anarchist, and keeps
the soldier ready to shoot him down.
With Bryan and Cochran both hurting
: the information that the country is
( being crushed under a load of milf
tarism, the only way the country can
escape knowledge of it's dire stress is
by turning a deaf ear. 1t does not
know its own sorrow now. If asked
FOR its honest opinion Il would say
that the presence and reverberatiOns
Of Bryan and Cochran constituted a
source OF woe compared with which
the whole army in its usual role OF
sticking Republican bayonets into the
.pODulace, because the popuIace is un-
loved of the mighty, is pleasing and
fnnOcuous.
The army is not an issue, and the
attempt 70 make 1t appear to be so is
a confession OF helplessness. Anybody
not erazed By prejudice knows that
the American army is but a modest
police force, no larger than necessary
for the maintenance OF order, and val
uable partly because so constructed
that it would serve as a nucleus for q
larger body in case Of quick necessity.
Nobody in the United States is scared
al the army, unless, indeed, some
who, regarding IL as the representa-
tive Of Law and order, are thus in
duced to be afraid. The public
speaker, like Bryan, who tries 10 raise
an alarm about the army. cannot be
sincere, for his position is so silly and
indefensible as 10 make him ridicu-
lous. He may have a purpose in pos
1ng as clown, but he is not inspired
b. any belief in his own utterauces.

Concerning Speed Contests.

The community which counts the
clerks of the executive departments
as citizens will note with extreme
relief the decision Of the Patent once
10 discontinue speed confess among
fits typewriters. For about a year
the whole force of women at that
work have been raising the measure
of their daily task. From 5000
words It lifted 10 10000. Then a
young woman exhausted herself by
reporting a total Of $4,000. The last
step was made a fortnight ago, when
some other young woman racked her
nervous force to achieve $4,000.
Every workman in Washington
could have anticipated the result.
The whole force Of typewriters re-
sponded. WOrkwomen whose value,
rsckoned the year around, was greater
than that Of ali the squirt" type
writer's in existence lost their heads
and drew upon tomorrow's strength
for tOday's record. She Of the $4,000
broke down. Her left shoulder had
been injured in some way, and the
pain was reaching down to her wrist.
Of course, the speed test had nothing
to do with this ailment But the
news stories indicate that the young
woman herself accredits it exclusively
to the unceasing labor Of her record
breaking day.
Ten thousand words as the day
allotment is as much as the most
eXacting employer can expect, when
the copy is technical and accuracy in
dispensabie. Six days labor at that
rate is worth more to the Patent
Office than four days at the rate OF
% 900 words. Because the depart
ment will still have work to do at the
end OF the week and must rely upon
its present force to do it.

Death of Mr. Paune.

Henry c. Payne. by the force of
his own ambitions and character, had
made himself a considerable figure in
the large affairs of the Republican
party. AS a politician he was adroit
and able. That he attained 10 the
rank Of statesman his warmest friends
would not have claimed, but in the
field OF his activities he was ever
useful and alert.
Personally he was a man of many
lovable traits. Those near to him
knew him as kind and generous and
true. An obligation was TO him a
sacred thing He was possessed of
courage that marked his conduct in
more than a few camaaigns, and that
in a higher manifestation enabled
him to go Unafraid down 90 the gates
of death.

tender husband, and who was at his
bedside at the last, viii have the
utmost sympathy.

was a valued member of the Cabinet,
attentive and faithful to the manifold
duties. and accepting the eXtraor-
binary burden without a murmur, al
though the labor and the worry doubt
less had much TO do with breaking
down his strength and bringing to a
sudden close a promising career.
