In Pittsburg the other evening a
noted lecturer on science boarded a
street car and told the conductor to let
him off at the Carnegie Library, as he
had to deliver an address there. The
conductor forgot the request and the
scientist, being stranger, waited to
be told the library had been reached.
After a while the conductor stopped
the car and pointed to a big building.
The scientist alighted and made his
way to it. 1t proved to be the peni-
Tertiary. Then the lecturer got mad
and left town by the next train.

The ship subsidy beggars are trying
to get an argument in their behalf out
of the Japanese war. Japan is NOV
ing her troops readily on transports,
which illustrates how convenient in
war times it is to have number of
available ships; if the United states
were to subsidize certain merchant
vessels they would be in position to
call on these vessels for service in case
of war. That is the way the subsidy
sharps are talking. 1t is a poor Incl
dent of any sort that a pap-sucker can-
not twist to his own advantage.

THE DECLINE OF PROFANITY.

Many purists bewail the prevalence of
slang in the spoken language of the
period. Has it never occurred to them
that in the vast majority Of instances
slang is relatively soft and harmless,
that it is seldom profane, and that
what common speech has suffered from
interjections of slang and cant phrases
has been more than counteracted by the
disuse of hard old Anglo Saxon swear
words? Thus the language is really
the gamer, and usage is making much
of the slang good English. Take any
good dictionary lately from the press,
and it will be found to contain literally
hundreds of words that were considered
slang and not to be spoken in polite
conversation dozen. or twenty-five or
fifty years ago. Likewise, take any
standard novel of three, four or five
generations ago, which reflects the Gus
toms and people of it's period, and it
will be found that some of the leading
characters in it were given to politely
damning various parts of themselves
and about everything else on the
slightest provocation. in any company
whatsoever.
In the days of Sheridan 1t was con-
sidered good form for the gallant gem
tleman to consign himself to perdition,
piecemeal or as a whole, while paying
tribute to the charms of the ladies with
whom he was conversng. The rotund
and benevolent Mr.. Pickwick himself
was not averse to using a judicious
oath while in the most charming So
ciety Thackeray, in person and in his
novels, let drop swear words OCCASION
ally that would not now be tolerated
in a gentleman's parlor. There was a
famous and brilliant lawyer of Charles
ton, who flourished not long before the
outbreak of the Civil War, who swore
plausibly, artistically and easily in po-
lite company and told risque stories in
the most select circles; and he was ac-
counted among the most delightful
company to be found within the broad
eXpanse of the country. In the good
old days" of long ago IL was regarded
as a gentleman's privilege to swear.
and IL his oaths were nicely chosen
no offense was felt. 1t is not so now.
Not that profanity is obsolete, but it is
pretty nearly so in polite society. 1t
is principally INDUCED in by uncultured
persons, or by the tipsy. Occasionally
the gentleman may let slip an oath, UNI
der provocation, but in such instances
he is careful to note that there is no
woman within ear shot. The ID" at
the dinner table or in the drawing room
is unknown in these modern and better
days. Men have a higher and finer re-
spect for women, for themselves and
for the language than in former times.

Chief Joseph, the famous old Indian
warrior. made a speech at the Carlisle
School commencement the other day
that, we submit, is model Of conden-
sation and succinctness. 1t was so
meritorious a speech, indeed that we
give ourselves the pleasure of repro
ducing it in full, feeling sure that every
reader will appreciate its fine points.
IT follows: "lnjun in big campaign.
1877. Much fight. Led hundred war

more. 1njun got chased, l,l0O miles.
Stopped running at Nez Percee. Gave
up guns and knives. Then Injun made
friends with Great Uncle Never got
chased since" There we have in seven
lines a speech that a paleface orator
would hardly have condensed into
seven newspaper columns. and a SUM
mary Of campaign concerning which
volumes have been written.

SOME WHO WILL MISS MIR. HANNA,

Now that the funeral Of Senator
Hanna is over 1t may not be out of
place to notice few of those who will
greatly miss him. The President will
miss him for one, though 1t is probable
that he now feels absolutely certain of
the nomination. He will miss him be-
cause there is no man i'm the Repub-
lican party that had the influence with
the business element of that party at
election times that Mr.. Hanna had. 1t
is not probable that he had any inten-
ton of being a candidate for the nomi-
nation against the President, though
the pressure brought to bear upon him
to become a candidate was very strong.
II he had lived he would have been of
bringing to his support the conserva-
tive. business element of the Republican
party. AS the situation now presents
itself Mr.. Roosevelt is going to have
pretty hard time TO arouse much en-
thusiasm among that element of his
party IN the campaign.
Perry Heath must have the blues. He
mad won IN the hght that was made to
get him out Of the position OF Secretary
OF the National Republican Committee,
mainly through the assistance OF Mr..
Hanna. Now he Is out OF that position.
Of viii be as soon as the committee
meets and accepts his resignation.
OF course Gen. Wood Is sorry that
Mr. Hanna has passed from among the
living, but II IL doubtful n he shed
many tears when the announcement OF
the Senator's death reached him. Now
he will be- confirmed without much 90.

NAVY VS.. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The question raised by Senator Cor
promptly met by the Department of
the Navy, namely whether it was wise
to neglect public improvements for the
purpose Of building UP a great navy,
is in a fair way of being the subject
of very animated debate in Congress
and of becoming an issue in the cam
paign. There is no doubt very con-
siderable sentiment throughout the
country in favor Of a strong navy. At
the same time 1t isn't desired that riv-
ers and harbors shall be neglected.
Without harbors capable of accommo-
dating the class of vessels that are now
being built the commerce Of the coun-
try will suffer a serious setback.
There is such thing as moderation
in the building Of the navy. There is
no reason why navy as big as that
of England should be built in two or
three years. Indeed, 1t is doubtful if
this country at present needs a navy
as large as that of England. Its ships,
however. should be the very best. In
view of the fact that battleships and
cruisers get out Of date quickly it
would seem to be advisable not to pro-
coed with too much haste in the build
ing of the navy.
II Is pretty certain that with a
great, first-class navy we should be
much more likely to get into a war
than If our navy was only of moderate
size. Being strong and feeling GER
tain OF victory we should be prompt in
calling to account nations that Offend
ed us.
1t is doubtful II Japan would have
been so prompt to inaugurate war with
Russia If she had not had such conf
dence in her navy She felt certain she
could whip Russia on the sea and was
willing to take the chances Of getting
the best OF her on land, Japan's
navy consists of 242 craft of all kinds.
That is a surprising showing for her,
and the vessels are modern in every
respect. She has put % large amount
of money on her navy within the last
twelve years. Doubtless the time will
soon come when battleships and cruis-
ers will be about as perfect as it will
be possible to make them. one objec-
ton to building great navy would
then be removed. There will be no
danger Of the ships getting out of date.

MAYOR MCLEAN GOES WEST.

Hon. F. w. Mclean, mayor of this
city, who is president Of the Continental
Mining Co., is leaving for California to-
day to take charge of operations at the
mine. This mine was developed and
equipped under Mr.. McLean's personal
supervision last year, and when he re-
turned home last December it was one
of the best in California. and in readi-
ness to produce as soon as the flow of
water begins. Mr.. Spencer. the super
intendent has advised Messrs ALERT and
Mclean that fall of fourteen feet of
snow has fallen and together with earlier
snowfalls assures the water supply for
the season. He says the flow will begin
about April 1st. The altitude of this
property is $500 feet and with such a
fall of snow it will leave abundance of
water for the entire season.
The property is rich and extensive
and it has been demonstrated that gold
abounds in sufficient quantity to warrant
them to expend 100000 for its purchase
and development. The bitches, canals
and reservoirs are of sufficient capacity
to operate three monitors which we're
placed in position last fall. A mine
equipped as this is, having the rich
gravel in sight and an abundance of
water should be heavy producer. The
officers contemplate the operation of an
electric drill this summer in order to
establish the location of the blue lead
channel which underlies this property.
Upon inquiry we learn that small
block of the company's stock will be
offered to create funds to install the
electric drill and other necessary machi-
merry.

LANGDoN's MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

Langdon's municipal election, which
is to be held Easter Monday, April 4th,
certainly promises to be an event of in
tense interest to the citizens. Develop
ments during the week have resulted in
the placing in the field of two complete
tickets, one of which is headed by Ex-
Mayor Mercer and the other by Mer-
chant Peter P. Kopriva. The careful
selection of candidates for the head of
these tickets is only sample of the care
that has been shown in the making up
Of the balance. The rivalry which
naturally exists is we are pleased to find
one that is friendly and after the votes
have been counted on election day there
is no likelihood that anyone will allow
themselves to feel sore.
Saturday evening the ball was started
rolling by the placing in the field Of a
citizens ticket by a coterie of slate
makers who congregated at the Citizens
bank after banking hours. Their choice
of candidates brought out the following
ticket.
Mayor. E. B. Mercer.
Aldermen:
First Ward-Jas. DeBerg.
Second Ward-M. Morrison.
Third Ward-George Nickles.
