Here IS Bourke Cochran's estimate of
wealth as related to gladness:
Il have known only one place IN this
world where gladness never enters.
There is just one place where sadness
always prevails and gloom always set

almshouses, nor insane asylum. nor
house of correction. That one place
where mer1iment never enters is
safe deposit vault. The most melan-
choly sight in the world is a million

This is from an address on charity,

the Yovns Mems Democratic club
that ne Is all right here, and that the
meeting to be held today is intended
for the purpose of mailing his boom
down.
Notwithstanding that assurance, M.
Hearst cannot be wholly at ease for
nothing is sure in politics until it has
actually been nailed down. Too many
aspiring politicians have been deceived

admirers. If the mailing down is made
complete today Mr.. Hearst will, no
doubt, tonight enjoy his first good

CURRENT COMMENT
"DOlNG STUNTS"

An occasionally esteemed contempor-
airy, which in it's news headings uses
such phrases as ut Don't Co and
Getting Onto His Curves but in its
editorials now and then fights the los
ing battle Of English, undehlsd, has
lately been sternly questioning the
phrase doing stunts" What does it
mean? Where does it come from
Should it be tolerated in polite society?
These and other questions it pro-
pounds. Alas Never does it truly
matter where a slang phrase comes
from, provided it fills long-felt want.
What it means the pubic always
knows instinctively; and it is sure to
be tolerated if it strikes the fancy,
whether it should be or not
The word stunt" is a good old Eng
lish word, but it has never been used
in this sense of a feat, a performance,
a turn on the stage, or the exhibition
of a personal accomplishment for the
amusement of a crowd, until very
lately. 1t is quite evidently used in
this meaning through perversion of
that good old English word stint, -
sometimes spelled 'stent," which
means a prescribed task, a specified
performance.-New York Mail and Elk

A GREAT ALPINE DEATH LIST.
1856 Persons Lost Their Lives Last
Year.

The number of fatalities among Al
pine mountain climbers has been stead
lily increasing for years and in 1903 1t
reached a startling total
According to the statistics just pub
iished by the Swiss Alpine club, the
number of victims in the Swiss. Ty-
roleah and Italian Alps last year reach,
ed a total of 196 persons killed i'm 14S
accidents. The number of climbers
who met their depth through falls,
lightning. freezing and other causes
was 1876. ana sixty persons who We're
injured and subsequently died.
The largest number of accidents Oc-
cured in the height of the climbing
season, the fatalities in July number
ing thity-seven; in August forty four
and in September thirty.
The rapidity with which accidents
have been multiplying is shown by the
figures of the Swiss Alps alone. where
in 1895 nineteen persons lost their lives
in 2S96 twenty four, in 1897 thirty -four,
in 1895 twenty four in 1897 thirty four.
and in 1900 forty eight. 1t is interest
ing to analyZe some OF the accidents
and to note how far want of skill is
responsible for the deaths.
The Matterhorn alone has claimed
thirteen victims in nine accidents. Thu
first and greatest OF all was due TO tho
inexperience of Mr.. Hadow. one of the
climbers.
The second fatality was the result of
the abandonment of sick guide by his
comrades. 12,OOO feet above the sea,
the poor man perishing before succor
reached him. In the third accident the
climber had new nails in his boots and
his death was due TO pure careless
ness.
In the next case one of the party was
left dying on the slope of the mountain
III the fifth case. two young guides and
a tourist lost their lives for some reas-
on never discovered. Later two young
Swiss who had been observed to be go
ing carelessly fell down a precipice.
Another case was that of a small
party to which no want of care was
imputed. In the ninth accident the
guides We're too few for q large party
and the climers were novices.
Not a few catastrophies were purely
accidental. Three years ago Mrs.
Wickham Smith of Brooklyn, while
climbing IN the Alps, was hit on the
back of the neck by huge icicIe and
survived less than half an hour.
Scarcely a week earlier a Frenchman.
Mr.. Prochet, was struck by boulder
that came crushing toward him and
was thrown down a glacier The doe
tors said he never knew what happened

sons roped together were descending
from Mount Blanc they were struck by

New Zealand Protection.

Tive eRactments by the parliament or
New Zealand recently adjourned are
OF especial significance here in the
United States just now.
One tax the so-called "coastwise and
shipping act" This is measure that
prohiBitx foreign vessels from engag-
ing in abe coastwise trade of the New
Zealand. colony, reserving that traffic
exclusively TO tonnage flying the Brit
ish flag.
The New York Commercial, review
ing the legislation at length comments
upon one of the facts as follows, find
ing a lesson in It for those who We're
led 70 oppose our own ship subsidy
legislation:
Horror of horroTs!' we can almost
hear the Britons down in Broad street
exclaim. why, that's a bcastly, mas
ty American notion, don't you know!
How in the kings name did our Zee-
lander cousins come to fall upon it, we
wonder? Why man alive, it's the very
worst form of u protective policy, a
thing we BritOns have always been
taught to mistrust and dispise. What's
the bloody matter with ALI Seldom.
anyhow, that ne let such a law get
through his parliament
Seriously, it was very, very Amer
lean idea, and a very un-British one
according 90 that nations fiscal and
political traditions, but not according
70 her newest lights. We will venture
the assertion, however, that when the
bill was under discussion at yelling
ton, no foreign shipowner or foreign
shipping agent doing business in New
Zealand had the hardihood, the nerve
or the poor taste to put up a foreign
lobby against the measure and thus
try to bulldoze the New Zealand law
makers into killing a movement for the
protection of a home industry. Had
one dared to do so, those doughty
British colonists would no doubt have
speedily run him off the islands and
back 70 his own people who were send
bng him bribe-money.
The ether enactment of the New
Zealand parliament was a preferential
'ATtF law that gives the whole of the
british empire a preference over for
eisn countries in trade with the colony
Prime Minister Seldom. In a recent lat
ter to an old friend in England says
Of this law that, no matter what the
''motherland" may dc with the Cham
berlain tariff proposition. 1--WE New
Zealanders have put on American goods
an extra 40 per cent. duty on some
lines and an extra 20 per cent. on 9TH
ers-and that ought to give the British
manufacturers a coed shot"
1T ought. surely. Our exports of
American goods to New Zealand have
isGTsssed in value over $4,000, 600 since
Arizona republican., 1904-02-06

1888, and most of this increase was in
articles that the United Kingdom
could have furnished to the cClonists.
New Zealand has got alarmed thereat.
and now proposes to give the mother
country a lift. Premier Seldom writes
that the British policy of free trade
and open door TO all -the world in her
home and the colonial markets is now
exploded They are open hell he
says. to the British workingman and
his employer when they have q vast
American and German competition to
contend with You hear it said he
adds. that trade follows the flag. Take
it from me- old friend, that is all nom
sense! 1t is nothing of the sort. Trade
follows the ship and the people trade
where they can get the best terms. be
quickly served and get the articles that
they want.
Premier Seldom is the right sort. He
knows what he is talking about. 1t is
folly for us Americans to try to stave
off in advance with a lot of reciprocity
treaties the prospective effect on our
trade of the Chamberlain movement.
Let us rather build some American
ships and put them into business on
the high seas. Let the government
subsidize them sufficiently or else en-
act law for discriminating duties
against foreign tonnage. Let us keep
the trade of all our dependencies in
American bottoms. These things once
done we needn't worry a bit over the
Chamberlain propaganda"

MAIL CARRYING BUSINESS.

The postofflce department is run at a
loss. In 1902 the deficit was $2,937, $780,
in 1903 it was $4,560,045. For 1904 it is
estimated that the deficit will be 81

priations remain proportionately the
same, and the business activities OF
the country do net decline. The re-
ceipts of the department come from the
sale of stamps, second class postage,
box rents, revenues from money ord
er business, fines and penalties, con-
tents CT unclaimed dead letters and
other miscellaneous receipts, the

Sometimes an accident to q guide re-
suits IN the death Of those he is trying
TO safeguard In 1899 two Englishnen
named Jones and Hill, accompanied by
three guides, attempted TO climb the
famous Dent Blanche, which is 1880
feet high and can be assembled only
when the ice is in good condition.
They were in 100 feet of the summit
when a leading guide stumbled and
fell into an abyss. dragging with him
the two other guides and Jones. All
four were instantly killed. Hill. who
practically knew nothing about noun
taineering, was forty-eight hours IN
descending the mountain and making
his way back to Zermatt.
Trained mountaineers regard the in
trusion of crowds of inexperienced
tourists upon their fa.vorite haunts
ms a misfortune partaking of an outrage
Sir William Conway. whose climbing
feats in the Alps. the Himalayas and
the Andes have made him famous says,
for example, that it is unfortunate that
such places as Zermatt and other
points, from which the most difficult
ascents are attempted should be pub
lie. He thinks that all efforts should
be made TO keen thoughtless tourists
from risking their lives on mountain
slopes which none but tried mountain
GERS should ATTEMPT to climb.
The large increase in the number OF
accidents Is apparently not due to care
lessness on the part of the guides or
lack of proper supervision by the au-
thorities. but to the constantly growing
number of the inexperienced who are
ambitious to climb notable mountain.
1t is said that the Swiss authorities
intend IN future to redouble their pre-
cautions to prevent inexperienced tour
lists from exposing themselves to dan
ger out of mere idle curiosity. Scient-
fc expeditions VIII. of course, not be-
hampered. but one of the chief pre-
cautions now proposed IS to make a
considerable increase IN the number Of
guides required to accompany tourists.

to postmasters. One might think that
these two items would comprise the
greatest part of the annual expendi-
ture. But. they do not. They make
only $57, $685. $40 of the total expended
last year The department was or
ganized upon the belief that it would
be a source of income to the govern
me1t. and for the first few years of
it's existence it did pay. In 1892 the
surplus was $12,9lS, in 1902, $57,17S, and
in 1872. S109,043; but since 1922 there has
been no decade which did not end with
a deficit, except one. Between 1872 and
1882 the balance ran in favor of the
government giving a surplus of l40o,-

cent times. so the people have come to
look upon the department as failure
in a financial sense.

of a deficit If the mails are carried
