Had Henry G. Payne lived until Nov.
2s he would have been 81 years old. For
thirty-two of those years he was q politi-
clan by inclination and profession, and the
most skilful one the State Of Wisconsin
ever saw. There are some in the Badger
State who insist that the late Philetus
Sawyer, once a United States Senator for
Wisconsin, could outplay Payne at the
political game. but those who ought o
know best say that the Postmaster-Gen-
eral had broader vision. was a better
Judge of men and could take the measure
of a political situation far more accurately
than Senator Sawyer. Furthermore, his
was master will, to which, when he be-
lieved he was right other wills must bend.
Mr. Payne was born in Ashfield, Mass,

ness as soon az possible, and. graduating
at the Shelburne Falls Academy in 1859,
he started at the age Of twenty, to 60 West
and grow up with the country. He con-
cluded to settle in Milwaukee, and short
time after he arrived there he got job

the job for four years, when he married
Miss Lydia Van Dyke.
He continued in the dry goods business
until 1872. when he tool, his first flyer in
politics. As he himself once said, Wis

Wsconsins electoral vote should go to
Grant, and he ret to work to accomplish the
task. He called together twenty Of his
friends, and they formed the first Repub-
lican organization Milwaukee ever had.
From then until the day Of his death Henry
G. Payne was in politics.

Up Hartford way they are having the biennial fight over the caucus law. If the law is as bad as Hartford pa pers have represented it, ever since it's passage. it would seem as though some means could have been devised, ere this, to take it off the books. 1t Is only when it presses on the corn of either party that the shouters be- gin to howl. This time it Is the re- publicans that are doing the. kicking. They claim that it is shame the way members of the g. 0. p. are regis tering as democrats, and all for the purpose of insuring the nomination of Mayor Sullivan at the coming pri- maries.

WHY HUSBANDS FORGET.

Iowa Professor Blames Latin and
 Greek For Unnanilcd Letters.
 The reason why husbands forget to mail their wives letters, fail to buy spools of thread and cannot remember the kind of dress some other mans wife wore at dinner party has been discovered by a university professor, says Chicago dispatch. The profess or says that mathema tics, Latin, Greek and other things with which boys and young men are compelled to cram their brains for twenty years in school and college are responsible for the poor memory which causes Such husbandly shortcomings.
 The professor who has made this inn portant sociological discovery is Dr. K. E. Bolton of the University of Iowa. He announced 1t at the University of Chicago. Education, according to Pro- lessor Bolton, is cs..,sSTaration s.S for life. Why should young -.sn. he asks, be compelled in college to learn Latin and Greek, which spoil their memories for the important things of real life?

Senator Hanna's end came all too soon will be the general verdict of all the people, irrespective of party. The dead senator was really but at the beginning of his remarkable career, which makes his death all the sadder and the harder for his friends to bear. He had much to do with af- fairs that were uppermost in the peo- ple's minds for a number of years, even as has been said of him, to the making of president. He was prob ably as much talked about as any
 man in the country to-day, and 1t was with the greatest effort the friends of President Roosevelt kept him far enough in the background, so as not to make the presidents chances look slim for another term. The dead sen ator realized this, and while it must have pleased him immensely to be thus honored by his fellowmen, it has always been said that Hanna was true to the president, and would be found standing by him to the last. His death leaves the field clear, and those who feared him can now breathe easier. That the dead man was an active worker to the last is pretty well illustrated by the fact of his dying right in the front rank. at the nations capitol, away from his home. The senator will be missed by a whole lot of people who liked him for his blunt, straightforward way of doing business.

Hamilton, became so aggressive in their treatment of the people that had the choice of two evils been possible in view of these events the Koreans would have preferred the Chinese and state of dependence to the conditions which were then intro duced. The universal admiration nrous- ed by the conduct of the Japanese troops in the north China campaign of 100O-O1 has added sensibly to the van- ity and egotism of these Korean Jap anese. Convinced of their innate su- periority, their violence toward the Koreans goes on unchecked It threat ems now to assume unparalleled di- mensions.

The Japanese are not as mixed N race as the modern Britons, but they have a very complex origin, says the London Chronicle.

There is just one other feature which induces caution, and that is the extraordinary borrowings of big rail- road and other corporations, chiefly the railroads, says Henry Clews, the banker. Within the last few weeks over $200,00O,O00 of notes, bonds or other obligations have been placed on the market and more are likely to fol- low. The great bulk of these com mitments are of a flrst-class charac- ter, but they are turning floating capital into fixed capital at a rate that if carried much farther will ne cessitate halt. Good investments will undoubtedly crowd those of a lower grade, and this mass of new creations will not be deemed a bull argument, particularly with the loan account of the associated banks standing above the 1000 million mark. No doubt much of the resistance shown by the market this week was owing to the support of powerful bankers, who have undertaken to float these new obligations. Of course, many of our railroad corporations are driven to these enormous outlays in order to meet urgent traffic demands: so that the investments may be considered both necessary and sound; still, if the supply of such securities prove great CT than demand, values must be ex- pected to suffer accordingly,

tional yacht race A reliable New York newspaper stated recently that the cost of the last race, to the Amer ican side alone, was in the neighbor- hood of nine hundred thousand dol lars, and that 1t has cost us to de- fend the cup in the last five years more than two million dollars. For less than one-fourth of the former sum, less than one-tenth of the latter, we can get the pole. And how doSthe races compare? The races for the America's Cup have been in progress for ten years between two nations; the race for the pole for hundreds of years between practically all the na- tions of the civilized world. The syn dicate that lifts the pole will have no successor and can never be beaten. The winning of the yacht race Is q matter of to-day; the winning of the pole is for all time." These words have an attractive and sportsmanlike ring. An Italian now holds the worlds. record in the long distance race to the pole. It will never do to allow his nation or any other than the American to carry off championship honors. 1t is the standing reproach of four centuries that the hustling American people allowed an Italian people to discover them, instead of getting the jump on him, and going over to discover Italy first. 1t must not happen again.

 Benefactors of Union Seminary.
 New York, Nov. 27.-The givers of the s24o,OOo to the Union Theological sem mary. following an announcement of its attitude toward the Westminster confession of faith. are Morris K. Jes- sup. and the widow of William Earl Dodge. Mrs. Dodge has pledged s12O,OOO for the establishment of chair for ap- piled Christianity, while Mir. Jesup, who is a director of the seminary, has given like sum for the establishment of professorship of preaching.
 At the same meeting at which the amendment relating to the Westmin- ster confession of faith was adopted. another amendment, it Is said, was pro- posed, providing that candidates for the faculty or directorate of the seminary shall be members of an evangelical church. This amendment was deferred to the next meeting, which will not take place probably until February.
 Rev. Dr. James M. Ludlow of Orange, N. J., director in the seminary, to- day denied that the seminary had dis carded the Westminster confession of faith in any particular. The seminary, he said, had simply provided for great CT ffexibility in the matter of teaching.
 The Rev, Dr. Thomas s. Hastings, professor of pastoral theology and ex- president of the seminary. entered a strong demurrer to the declaration said to have been made by the Rev. Dr.. David Schaff, professor of church his- tory at the Western theological semi nary, Alleghany City, that the Union Theological had substituted a new creed of its own. Dr. Hastings said that the removal of the provision requiring subscription to the confession by no means Implied that the faculty thought less of this confession.

LONG DRAWN OUT STRIKE,
Fall River NH Owners to Again Throw
 Open Factories.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 27.-With con- ditions, so far as the great mass of workers is concerned, practically un- changed, the textile strike in this city, involving nearly 26,0O0 operatives, has reached the nineteenth week of it's con- tinuance.
 Following their practice of the past two weeks, the cotton mill owners will tomorrow throw open their mill gates and invite such Of their former em- ployes who are willing to work for 12 1-2 per cent. less than they formerly received to return. There is nothing to indicate that considerable number will be thus attracted. Since Thanksgiving day some of the strikers have return- ed to work, and the officials of the Sea connett and Davis mills report that they are generally securing sufficient help to permit the operation of their plants. These claims are denied by the textile labor leaders, who insist that the assertions from the ranks of the strikers are few and unimportant.
