An Eye to Business.

Mr.. Bryan keeps UP his opposition
to the reorganizers. AS late as April
6 he wrote to Mr.. E. r. Lynch of st.
Paul to say that he "was deeply I'M
pressed with the Importance OF send
ing delegates to local and national
democratic conventions who are In
sympathy with the principles advo-
Gated by those who supported the
Kansas City platform" The reor-
ganizers he describes as bolting demo-
Gratis, who are striving to secure con-
troll Of the democratic organization
"for the purpose Of making the next
democratic national platform so like
the republican platform that they will
appeal with as much force as do the
republicans to the trusts for cam
paign contributions" p. .-.s-.. -
All this looks like a disinterested
plea for the assertion and defense OF
principles to which Mr.. Bryan is
known to be committed, and in the
support CT which he has been given
credit for sincerity. The latter part
of his letter, however, Is devoted not
to the advocacy Of these principles,
but to calling attention to the Com
moner as the most efficient means
thru which to reach the great masses
of the people for the purpose Of in
fuencing them and inducing them to
stand by the platforms of 1896 and
1900. The letter bears Mr.. Bryan's 8
autograph signature, and from pa
triotic appeal in behalf Of what Mr..
Bryan regards as democratic princ1-
piles it passes gradually and adroitly
into an earnest request for subscrip-
tions to the Commoner at club rates.
There may be nothing inconsistent
In these two propositions, but the con-
Meeting Of them together in one COM
munication, and making the one the
occasion for the other, suggests that
Mr. Bryan, who has made more out
OF the 1G to / issue than anybody else
still has a mind to thrift and an eye
to business. And why not? If the
democratic party, as the democratic
leaders now openly declare to be their
intention, repudiate the Kansas City
platform and turn their backs upor
Bryan and Bryanism, what is to be-
come Of profitable publishing enter
prise located at Lincoln?

ed upon to furnish the news at no
matter what expense when there is
any news and also that it's news
can be depended upon as being re-
liable news.
Some more facts with which res
idents of the northwest are famil-
lar are that its market reports, spe-
cial Washington service, special
eastern and European service, ex-
elusive and very interesting special
features are very superior, and that
no other northwestern paper can
be compared with it as great
family newspaper.
Another most important fact is
that T h e Jour a is the clean
daily Of Minneapolis, refusing all
objectionable medical advertising
which is taken by other papers.
This makes T h e Journ al par
ticularly acceptable to every MEM

Wares Pension Ruiing.-The recent inn
portant ruling Of Pension Commissioner
Wareis discussed at. length by the editor
of Harper'sy Weekly for April 9. He says
that trustworthy estinat tes put the addi-
tion the ruling will make to the pension
roll at from s50,0OO,0o0 to s6oOoo,00e. He
adds:
To our mind it is Incredible that with the
sanction of the. United, States supreme court,
from S50,O00 900 to $4,000, 900 can be drawn
every year from the federal treasury by virtue
Of mere ruling of federal official.
The editor expects to see some measure
taken to test the right of the commits
sioner to make the ruling.

Hamlet as catholic.-Rev. John Tai
bot Smith in Donahee,s for April says:
!. One thing is certain, 9orly a Catholic actor of
sound Catholic instinct, other things being equal
can really play Hamlet. The Dane was a
Catholic, the play is STEPPED in Catholic ideas,
in spite of the natural leayen of the paganism
OF the time. The pagan and the Protestant
have no sympathy with it's essential features.
and no understanding Of it's true spirit, and can
not render it perfectly ss-ssess->
This is spoken very positively and ought
to settle the question for prospective as
pirants of~the role. @

Wisconsin's railroad commission has
taken a leaf out of the book of Public
Examiner johnson Of Minnesota, and has
been investigating the gross earnings re-
ports Of railroad companies. The result
is that four roads are found to be short on
their returns for 1901. and 1902, to the
amount of 81, ,6ss, 076.63, which means $751;
923.07 in taxes. Railroad Commissioner
Thomas, who makes the report to the gov
ernor, must be very unpopular-with the

sent them in politics.

side of the life lines should be attach
ed to rope connected with a spring
pulley. The rope was fastened to a
harness around his shoulders and under
his arms It in no way interfered with
swimming or diving: but if from any
reasons he wished to return to the
beach i'll hurry to escape an accident
he merely had to jerk a small string
running from the pulley through small
eyelets on the life rope to the belt. The
effect of this would be to make the
spring pulley wind up the rope so
rapidly that he would return to shore
faster thar any stout oarsmen could
pull a boat. This peculiar arrangement
had it's disadvantages. for the victim
would be hurried through the water
sometimes in a position that had little
regard for his comfort.
AS it is possible to drown a fish by
pulling him through the water rapid
ly, so it is possible to drown a man
or woman by the same method. Those
who tried the new invention said they
preferred to be drowned in the ordin-
airy way rather than by such a method
of cruel torture, and consequently the
new life-saving invention was removed.
The lifeboats used al the beaches to-
day are provided with life preservers
of the most approved pattern. These
can be thrown to the exhausted swim
mer some so feet away. Self-propell-
ing life preservers were tried last sea-
son at one-of the Jersey beaches by an
enthusiastic inventor. The idea of this
invention was to make it possible to
launch a life preserver in the sea, and
make it seek out the drowning man
him. 1t was also intended that the
self-propelling life preserver should be
launched from the sides of boats and
ships
The mechanism of the life preserver
or buoy was contained in the stern of
the cigar-shaped arrangement, and
consisted of spring and clock work
wound up by a key. When started in
motion, the spring unwinding would
start two small propellers in motion
These would force the life preserver

over the water at a great sped. The
self-propelling affair was guided by
two strings which the operator on the
boat or shore pulled. 1t was claimed
by the experts that a swimmer ex
hausted half a ME i,o.c shore couid
be reached within half the tin'e it
would take to row a boat to MIN. So
exactly could the life preserver be
steered that an expert operator could
hit any object within a radius of half
a mile. The spring was wound to oper-
ate the machine only that distance.
Such self-propelling life preservers.
however, We're of little use except in
hehands of experts, and they were not
intended to take the place of the pro-
fessional life saver of the beaches, but
simply to increase his efficiency in
making quick rescues.-New York

DREAMING OF HOME.

Around me the shadows
OF evening descend
And the groves and the meadows
In phantasy blend.
And the farmers come home to the cots
where 1 roam;
But my heart is afar
Where the loved ones are
am dreaming of home, I am dreaming
Of home.
There comes from the lilies
A message of peace
And the slumbering rill is
Rejecting the trees
In the glinm'ring light from the
heavenly dome;
But my heart is afar
Where the loved ones are
am dreaming of home, I am dreaming
OF home.
The birds in the shadows
Are whispering of love
And sweet are the meadows,
The flowers and grove,
But they're not like my own DER the
deep oceans foam;
For that land is SO fair
And the loved ones are there
am dreaming of home. 1 am dreaming
o: home "

Science and Burglary.
From the Westminster IIesiew.


1t appears that Germans of known bad
character are allowed to: escape on condi-
ton of leaving the country England Is
practically the only refuge open to them.
so they flock here, and among them the
expert German burglar visits us in eyer-i,-
creasing numbers. TITS said that Germany
is the country Of specialists, and the crimi-
nal but intelligent Teutor makes a sne-
cialty of his business. tef which he apnlies
the latest scientific methods The extent
to which the art ofsburglary has been
developed Is evidenced Ry5the fact that In
senious housebreaking tools are manufac-
tured, such as portable ladders porfahIe
phosphorus and electric lamps. ratchet
drills, sheet iron shutters, adjustable i'm
mics, pick locks. and varfuos kinds of ssele-

legitimate and necessary tools, not neces
sarily nor mainly used for felonlous pur-
poses.
Any given house once entered. the scIep-
tific German can open the strongest east

Russia's Counter Proposals.

In these counter proposals Russia, while
having no objection to engage to respect
the independence and territorial integrity
of Korea, declined to extend the same en-
gagement to China. and SO far from con-
senting to recognize the principle of eauaI
opportunity for the commerce and industry
OF all nations In that country, requested
Japan to acknowledge Manchuria and I,s
littoral to be entirely outside her sphere of
interest. She further proposed various re-
strictions upon Japans freedom of action
in Korea; for instance, while recognizing
Japan's right to dispatch troops, when nee
essary, for the protection of her interests
in Korea, Russia demanded previous nofica
in case OF such dispatch. and she refused
to allow Japan to use any portion of Ko-
rean territory for strategicaI purposes. she
went SO far, in fact. as to propose to estab-
fish neutral zone covering the Korean
territory north of the thirty-ninth parallel.

it became impossible to run cars over IL.
The Elgin cars were run down to the bridge

pedestrians to get over without trouble a
walk of boards was nailed over the cross

After this was done two spans of the

rails and cross ties hanging at an angle of
forty-five degrees The board walk that had
