A PhiIanthropic Joke.

First halfpenny and then a gold
piece gave considerable amusement to
a small crowd in the Rue Daunou,
Paris, says the London Mail.
The former coin was placed on the
pavement and lay untouched for an
hour and a half before 1t was picked
up by an old lady. who carefully placed
it in her reticule, despite the dersive
cheers which were accorded her by
those who were watching.
An American gentleman then placed
a 20 franc piece on the ground, and as
pedestrian after pedestrian passed
without seeing il. they were startled
by the uproarious laughter from doors
and windows. They stopped short,
looked confused and then hurried
away with indignant glances at the
merrvmakers.
The louis was at last picked up by a
bent and feeble old man, who hobbled
off with his treasure amid enthusiastic
cheers.

finger at the masked man and laugh

you? Well, I'm not afraid of you a

Without saying a word the intruder
hurried from the room and Mrs. Ed

Mr.. EIdridge returned from New York.
"Ha, ha. ha,'' joyously cried Mrs
EldridgeE as she embraced him. II

Proverbs Concerning Cars.

A diplomatist who has been at the
Russian court for a long time, says
the New York Tribune. has collected
some interesting Russian proverbs con-
corning the Cars. Here as a few:
THE Car himself can get muddy if
he steps in the mud"
Even the crown of the Car cannot
care headache"
1.-THE Cars COWS cannot have more
than two horns"
THE active Car puts wings upon
his ministers feet"
IA Car who limps can nevertheless
make some long trides.'
A drop of water in the eye of the
Car costs the country a great many
handkerchiefs"
"a Car in the desert is only man."
When the Car is a rhymster poets
are unhappy"
when the Gar makes you a present
of an egg he expects of you a hen"
When the Car wishes to cut some
thongs the people should furnish their
skins"
Even the hens of the Czarina can
not lay goose eggs"
When the Car squints the minis
tiers are one-eyed and the people
blind"
"The Gar never hurts his finger but
what everybody carries his arm in
sling"
THAT which the Car cannot accom-
plish is only accomplished by time"
The Car can disturb the earth, but
he cannot move it from its axis
''The Car knows not misery because
he does not live in a cabin
'The arm of the Car is long, but it
cannot reach to the sky"
''The valet of the Car believes he
has some right to the crown"
"The voice of the Gar has an echo
even when there are no-mountains."
THE ukases of the Gar are worth
nothing if God says not Amen.

THE SEVEN GRAFTERs.

That there was one state in which
legislators demanded percentage of
any money the Legislature voted for o.
state exhibit at the St. Louis Fair is
humiliating. Mr.. Charles Reeves. the
chief of the department of domestic
exploitation of the fair says that the
fair management offered no induce
ment whatever to members of Legis-
latures to vote appropriations for ex-
hibits. They did not even offer free
admissions to the fair, and yet all of
ths states but two made exhibits,
which have cost them about $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Reeves ought to name the seven
legislators who wanted a percentage
of any amount the Legislature of their
1t seems they were not trusted by their
constituents. since they were not re-
elected. They have been punished,
therefore, to some extent for the cor
rupt proposition, but they ought to be
still further punished by having their
names paraded before the public.
The proposition of these seven legis-
lators suggests the probability that
there is a good deal more grating by
men in public positions of honor and
trust than the public is aware of.
About the last thing, it would be sup
posed, from which grafters would at
tempt to secure a rake OFF, is an ap-
preparation by a state for an exhibit
at worlds fair. The people of a
state naturally take pride in the
states having as fine an exhibit as pos
sible. Grafters however, have no pride
of any kind. They haven't even
self-respeet. The wonder is there are
so many of them-that the number
that will sacrifice self-respect, patriot
ism and about everything else that de-
cent people hold dear for few dollars
is so large. Mr.. Reeves would do the
country a real service by making pub
lie the names of the seven grafters.

A POINTER ron PEACH GROWERS.

A hearing began yesterday before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Of charges in which ii is alleged that
certain citizens of Chicago are guilty
of fragrant violations of the Inter
state Commerce law and of the Elkins
act. 1t seems that these citizens prac-
tlcaliy make the rates of Transports
ton for large part of the most i'm
portant products of the country. They
have formed corporations and own
vast numbers of cars. They are call
ed private car corporations, and, it
is said, they are able to make what
ever rates they please.
Naturally some railroads outbid
others for this business and there is
dissatisfaction among the railroads and
dissatisfaction among shippers. Ship
pers that haven't stock in these pli-
waite ear corporations can't compete
with shippers, who are interested in
them. The Chicago Picking House
corporations for instance, could, it is
said, sell their products for almost
nothing, for time, in order to crush
Oul q rival, 50 great Is their income
from their private car corporations.
One statement is that these private
car corporations get from the railroads
and shippers as much as SOS, OO0, 900 a
year, in the form Of excessive charges
of one kind and another.
The peach growers of this state are
interested in this investigation. They
have been complaining for years of
the charges for refrigerator cars. They
are satisfied from the investigations
they have made that the charges that
are made for these cars are excessive
They have not been able to have the
charges reduced, however because
there seemed to be no way to reach
the private car corporations. The rail-
roads replied to complaints that they
got comparatively little out OF their
peach traffic, and 1t is probable they
stated the fact. The private car cor
porations were getting the lions share
of the revenue from the peach ship
ments.
The peach growers will watch the
investigation with interest. PERHAPS
they viii take part in it. II they
can help break up the monopoly it is Il
their interest to do so.

AN ENORMOUS INVESTMENT.
From the World's Work.


The three greatest mutual compa-
MES have become the most powerful
financial organizations in the world
having d joint income of some $3.50, 700,
06O year. The straight" life insur-
ance companies of the United States
are pledged to pay about $4,000, 900, 00C
to several million pOlicy-holders dur
ing the next half century or so, and
they are increasing this vast liability
at the rate of 81 500, 900, 900 a year; and,
i'm addition, there are more than eight
hundred fraternal orders, business as
sociations, and the like, insuring the
lives of their members and guarantee
ing to pay out another six billions.
All these organizations collect, every
year, some $500, 100000 from their policy
holders, besides another 800, 900, 900 of
interest and the like. In a word, their
total income is little larger than the
income of all the railroads of this coun-
try, and their receipts for eighteen
months would pay the United States
national debt.

GERMAN CADETS DIGNITY.
From an Exchange


The Berliner Tageblatt of Sept. %
publishes an account of an extraor-
binary incident which it states, is
creating a sensation in Strasburg.
A young artillery cadet, seeing the
servant of a we'll known lawyer of that
city riding bicycle, mistook his livery
for uniform, and angrily rebuked the
man for not saluting him.
The man, who was Bavarfan, Jok-
ingly explained the difference between
civilians livery and a soldiers uni
form, whereupon the enraged cadet call
ed a passing soldier and had the serv-
ant arrested.
Subsequently the man was released
and complained to the colonel of the
regiment, who not only upheld the
cadets action, but maintained that the
cadet had the right to run his sword
through the servant, as he had in
suited the German uniform.
The servant will now have to APP
pear before a court of law for insult
ing the cadet.

A life sentence for an attempt to
wreck a street car filed with passen-
gers on a suburban line is severe, to
be sure. but is the punishment not
merited? The man who deliberately
sets about to wreck a car or a train
filled with passengers proceeds with
malice and has murder I'm his heart
In the case in point, the fact that the
car was not wrecked and one or more
deaths of innocent ana unsuspecting
people brought about was due not in
the least TO good intentions on the part
of the man convicted. Had he car
ried out his purposes. the car would
have been thrown off trestle and
many lives might have been lost. Such

According to a dispatch from Butte,
a kiss stands a good chance of costing
the Republican party the state of
Montana. State Senator Myers, a Re-
publican nominated to succeed him
self, it appears, stole a kiss from a
young lady on the street in Red Lodge.
The girl was highly indignant, as were
her friends, some of them powerful
in politics. The friends served notice
on the state committee that if Myers
were not fired off the ticket they would
see to it that the party was beaten.
Myers was asked to resign but re-
fused to do so. and Chairman Lee
Mantle said he could find no authority
for displacing him. Thus the matter
stands. 1t is practically certain that
the stolen kiss will cost Myers his seat
and it may effectively split the party

There are some things in the letter
of acceptance of Mr.. Watson, the Pop
ulist candidate for President. that are
| calculated TO make one doubt that he
| is the frank and candid man he would
| like to have the people think he is.
For instance. In speaking of the pub
lie lands he says: From sea to sea,
| the land which is ours became ours
because the common man was ready
| TO pay for it with his tax money or
| his blood. What became of it? With
| bewildering rapidity it has been taken
from the common people and given to
the corporations. To the extent of
! 200, 000 900 acres it has been given to
the railroad corporations; and now,
| when a common man wants a home
in all that vast domain, he must go
to the railroad corporations to get it.
A blacker chapter than that which
ties united to despoil the common peo-
pie of their land is not to be found
in the annals of class legislation"
Mr.. Watson keeps in the background
the fact that the common people were
glad to give corporations public land
on condition that they would build
railroads through it. The land was
practically worthless when it was
given to the railroads. 1t would be
worthless now if it were not for them.
The common people didn't want this
heritage of theirs when it could have
wouldn't want it now if it were not
for the value which the railroads have
given it. The railroads have made it
desirable. The common people would
rather pay twice over what the rail-
roads ask for it now that it has been
brought in touch with the markets of
the world than to have it as a gift
If 1t were without railroads. What
nonsense is it then for Mr.. Watson
to pretend that the people have been
robbed of the lands which were given
to corporations for the building of
railroads. Some of these corporations
made nothing out of the deal they
made with the government. They lost
millions of dollars in the efforts to
open the domain of the nation to the
common people for homes, and, finally,
went into bankruptcy. And yet the
inference from what Mr.. Watson says
is that the common people were rob-,
bed for the benefit of railroad corpora
tions, What rot! Does Mr.. Watson
think that corporations should have
built railroads into the wilderness as
a philanthropic scheme?
Railroad corporations like individ-
uals will take all they can get. They
are no better and no worse: and, as
matter of fact, the railroad corpora
lions are largely owned by what Mr.
Watson calls the common people. The
bonds and stocks of the railroads of
this country are owned by the poor as
we'll as the rich. Tens of thousands of
people of small incomes have their lit
tie investments in railroad stocks and
bonds. Mr.. Watson would have in
terested the public more if, in his let
ter of acceptance, he had made it
clearer why he is pursuing a course
that will help Mr.. Roosevelt in his
efforts to be elected President.
