A PRINCIPLE AND A POLICY.

Many deserving men apparently fail
sidered due them. Perhaps we expect
too much for the simple performance
Of duty. Virtue is it's own reward and
possibly the consciousness of duty well
performed is sufficient payment for a
life well spent. 1t is better to be an
honest peasant and wear wooden
shoes" than to wear a crown to the
misuse and prostitution of the power
Il represents. II the mind is in deed a
kingdom its highest good is a clean
memory. II true greatness is mans
festation Of goodness, many a day Ia
borer who has died unknown and been
forgotten in day owns by right the
pages of history where the misdeeds of
kings are chronicled.
But, in compensation, if good deed
too often escapes recognition and APP
probation. evil rarely fails of discovery
and punishment. The crooked acts by
which ambitious men attain their OBJ
jects. the secret guilt of public serv-
ants who forget the people and their
duty to the people, are loaded mines set
In the roadways OF their goings out and
comings in and In the frequented har-
bors of their rest and safety, un,

No man ever covered crime or crook,

fortuitous circumstance sooner or later
unseals the crypt and uncoyers 1t to
the world. An evil secret never de-
Gays. 1t mummifies and awaits resur>

than that warning to the secretly
wicked. BE sure your sin shall find

"TRE sLEEPLESS ARCH"
Old Hindoo Principle the Basis o.
All Modern BRIDGES

Old Hindoo Principle the Basis OF
All Modern Bridges.
Although the building of great arches
of masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization, the principle that
gives strength to the massive stone
bridges of today is the same that built
the bridges of the Roman empire.
The history of bridge building is, to
large degree, the history of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that ''the arch never
sleeps" because each separate section
of which it consists, beginning at the
keystone, or central section, is con-
stantly pushing against its immediate
neighbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon which
the structure is erected.
10 secure perfectly trustworthy
foundation, therefore, the bridge build
err has often to penetrate far below the
surface Of the earth, and not infre-
quently the part of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of a trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing 1t to pieces.
Not only is the modern bridge builder
skilled in setting his structure on q
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time honored materials for
his work, to say nothing Of new ma
terials, and an important part of his
student training in such modern schools
as the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology is devoted to methods of test
ing materials during construction that
would have surprised and delighted
even the most accomplished Of the an
cient Roman engineers.

Time For Insanity and Fits.
Ill health is bad thing at any time,
but 100 years ago it was made more
terrible by the remedies in use. Blood
letting, OF course, was simple a1air.
A writer in Macmillan's Magazine says
that everybody was bled twice year
lin the spring and autumn. The bar
bers were the surgeons and, like wise
men, adapted their prices to their pa
tents
A gentleman who so INDUCED him
self as to go to bed to be bled was
charged half crown and his fine lady
half a sovereign. Certain days were
unlucky for bioodietting, and nothing
would induce the BARRIERS to operate
on these occasions. Serious diseases
seem to have been beyond the medical
skill of the day. Villages and towns
simply drove out the infected from
their midst.
Among remedies herbs OF course
played great part. For salyes," runs
an old notebook which had great
vogue, 1.-THE country parsons wife

and whipping was deemed too good for
them. Should the sick be loud in Ia
ment, the Waterman kept them quiet by
this popular discipline, and one fowl
has upon its records, paid L. Haw-
kins for whipping two people that had
the smallpox eightpence."
Fortunately the spirit of this age is
different from that.

CLEVER Joke INDEED.

y----A sarewd newspaper man at Iowa
Mails has perpetrated one of the best
practical jokes known in Iowa politics
for many years To prove his conten-
ton that the main fault found with
Governor Cummins' tariff utterances
lay in the fact that the Blythe faction,
In control OF most of the Iowa dailies,
was determined to down Cummlns from
political power, this newspaper man
conceived the idea OF getting Cummins
to write a plank and then present it
to the standpatters of the Hardin coun-
ty convention .incog." The joke work.
cd to perfection. Cummins, of course,
did not know what was up. His friend.
che newspaper man, asked for an out
aine Of a plank that would suit the gov
ornor. 1t was given. Then with few
followers let into the secret the gov
errors exact language was presented
to the resolutions committee and ac-
cepted gladly. But the greatest fun of
It all was the way it was received by
Attorney Albrook, who had just deliv-
ered a valiant standpat speech and was
reading the Blythe faction to make all
the fuss he could. Albrook said it was
Z platform on which any republican
could stand and so it was. The Cum
minis platform has always been one on
which any republican could stand but
In this case the standpatter didn't know
1t was Cu1n4nins platform. 1t made a
difference.
The governors own plank in Hardin
county reads:
eve stand for a system Of pro-
tective duties so adjusted that 1t
will represent the difference be-
tween the cost of production here
and abroad to the end that our pro-
ducts may have the best chance in
our own markets, and for the reci-
procity that increases labor and
production at home"
In his campaign speech Of last fall
the governor used almost the same
language saying:
The ideal protective tariff should
be such duty as will enable the
home producers OF the article to
make and sell 1t In the domestic
markets at fair profit. Reciproci-
ty is the best adjustment we can
make with another nation to en-
large the production of our coun-
try"
When uttered In the campaign these
sentiments were endorsed by every re-
publican paper and the Cedar Rapids
Republican has since even contended
that Cummins was more of republic
cAn during the campaign than he is
now. When the same language is set
before standpatters in. Hardin county
without their knowing who 1T belonged
to 1t was eaten with relish. Had they
known that Cummins wrote it the Har-
din county plank would have been de-
nouneed by them end spewed out as
"nauseous democratic dog"
Hardin county has turned the laugh
on the Rtand patteyz leaving them moth
