ACTING DYSPEPSIA.

After interpreting the role of a
dyspeptic for a twelvemOnth, Henry
Asmus. an actor, became hopelessly
dyspeptic, and then in turn hopelessly
insane.
On its face this would appear a sur
Drising succession of facts. Upon
analysis they resolve into quite q ra-
tional, though an unusual, series of
effects.
Mr.. Asmus. as will be remembered
by those who are familiar in detail
With the contemporary stage, has
been a conscientious hard working
actor. Having undertaken to person.
tte~ Peter the Dyspeptic" fin The
Girl With the Green Eyes" he studied
dyspepsia in all of it's phases that he
might know the degree Of it's torments.
The trend of his physical eXperien-
ces becomes obvious in this light; it
must necessarily have been directly TO-
ward dyspepsia. And when the dread
ed atflictiOn was completely upon him.
what must have been his sufferings as
he felt the internal gripings and the
acid heart burn. as the audience roar
ed approval of his accurate delinea-
ton? No mortal mind could have en-
dured such an ordeal for a great
while.
For all dyspeptics the tragedy of Mr.
Asmus holds forth the scant en-
enlargement that others are in
worse fix. For those who are not
dyspeptics, the sad termination of
promising career is a warning to
avoid dyspepsia-to eat slaWly, to alb
jure unsafe foods and to think of
something else. In fact, regardless of
Mr.. Asmus, it may be put down in this
connection that of all the slow tortures
devised by or encampassing men,
dyspepsia is undoubtedly the most
harassing; and that even on the stage
dyspepsia is no joke.

A BREACH OF PROPERTY.

On the heels of the announcement
that the United States and France are
negotiating an international treaty OF
arbitration has come report of the un-
called for language used by NJ. Mura-
vieff Russian minister of justice. who
presided over The Hague tribunal in
the matter of the Venezuelan claims
Referring to the japanese war, he
spoke of the sinister acts of a wal
which is terrible obstacle in the
path of light and progress and he
declared that "a nation is obliged tC
accept a war when the legitimate de-
Tense of honor and liberty is involved
He concluded by expressing conf
dence that the just Providence which
rules over battle will distinguish be-
tween right and unfounded preten-
sions.''
Coming from Russian lips, this is
a direct attack upon the Japanese
:,
place i'll the utterances of member
Of a court designed to promote inter
national peace. The protest voiced
by Japan upon the point is justifiable.
The incident illustrates the difficulty
IF securing arbiters who will dis
ringuish between purely judicial
viewpoint and a national bias. 1t is
his difficulty upon which the oppo-
nents of international peace agree
ments lay stress. And when members
IF the very tribunal go SO far as to i'll
iect partisan feeling into official judg-
ments. they directly encourage distrust
Of an international court. The use
sulness of The Hague would soon be
destroyed if many of the judges were
to follow NJ. Muravieff's example.

WILL BREWER PLAY SHIRAS?

The merger decision. like the decis-
ion on the income tax clause of the
Wilson tariff law, was reached by a
vote of five to four and it is just pos
sible that on a rehearing one of the
majority might change his mind. just
as Justice Shiras did regarding the
income tax, and thus sustain the mer-
ger. 1t seems that Justice Brewer was
only half-hearted in his vote against
the merger and in separate opinion
he took occasion to say that former
decisions of the court upholding the
sweeping.
Before his appointment to the su-
preme bench Brewer had established a
reputation as tool of the railroads
and it is possible that his old love still
clings to him. However he has made
quite a respectable member of the su-
preme bench and has said and done
many things that have won him popu-
Tar applause.

WILL PUT THEM TO TEST.

Congressman John Sharp Williams,
the democratic leader of the house of
representatives. is going to test the
sincerity of the republicans. He will
soon introduce several reciprocity
bills which will practically be a du-
plication of the Kasson treaties, ne
countries, but which never were rati-
fed by the senate. The sad fate of
those treaties, which were smothered
to death by the trust sena tors, forms
an interesting story.
When the Dingley bill was put
through in the spring of 1897. many du-
ties were Intentionally left considera-
bly, higher than was thought necessary
even by the protectionists themselves.
1t was expected by Dingley and other
republicans that reciprocity treaties
would soon be made with foreign coun-
tries and duties were left very high so
that we would have a large margin or
bargain power. Then, after reducing
tariffs with those countries we would
have ample protection left. The
Hon. John A. KassOn, of Iowa, was
made a special commissioner plenipo-
tertiary and negotiated treaties with
France. Argentina, Ecuador, and
| through Denmark and the United
Kingdom. with several East Indian is
| lands and with British Guiana
These treaties meant much for both
the shippers and the consumers of this
| country. The fact that a, republican
senate would not allow them to pass
means that our costumers are now
paying duties higher than were plan
ned, even by the protectionists.
It means that the trusts are receiv-
ing mere protection than many pro-

other great corporate trusts, and the
nephew of Field, David j. Brewer, now
of the United States supreme court
did not hesitate when he was United
States circuit judge to sign all the
Swayne, under which the Wabash
was wrecked by Gould, Sage and Dill
lon. One of the graduates of the
David Dudley Field school of legal
ethics organized a legal conspiracy
to pirate, wreck and rob a great trust,
and he was able to persuade another
graduate of the same school of legal
ethics the nephew of it's founder, to
give this conspiracy his official bless
ing.
Field was at the head of his pro-
fesson, and in the days Of the Tweed
Tammany ring the ring judges, who
were subsequently impeached and
driven off the bench by the legisla-
ture, were part Of the crew of the Erie
pirate Ship were members of both the
Tweed and the Erie ring. Field knew
perfectly we'll that these ring judges
had the retainer of Gould in their
pockets whenever he asked for an in
junction to prevent robbed men from
regaining their property; he knew that
these judges stood ready to ratify jul
dicially any piracy that Gould might
commit Fields code of legal ethics
was that of Lord Brougham, who de-
clared that lawyer was justified in
doing anything and going any lengths
to win his case for his client. This i'm
moral code of Lord Brougham was
long ago publicly repudiated and de-
nounced by the great English jurists.
and after Aaron Burrs day it had no
eminent support in America until
David Dudley Field revived it,

enough to retire; but his code of legal
ethics was eagerly accepted and
adopted by the late General Wager
SWayne. and is practced today by
railroad lawyers of his quality
NO wonder plain people utterly dis
trust the moral sense and public con-
science of so-called great lawyers
No wonder they rave about the enor-
nous inequality in the operation of
laws when a .wealthy convict can COM
mand an army of lawyers to save him
from punishment While an ordinary,
obscure. friendless, impecunious Of
fender is railroaded to the peniten-
tiary. No wonder plain people howl
when a wealthy man, or a man at
least who has wealth behind him and
social influence. can rob a bank as
president from within and suffer not
more than three to five years impris-
onment. while an ignorant horsethief
gets seven or an ordinary clumsy
highwayman gets from fifteen to TWEEN

not so much because he was crimi-
nal as that he was a penniless thief.
Wendell Phillips said of Rufus Choate:
Thieves anxiOusly inquired after his
health before they went forth to steal
and so Jay Gould and his successors
anxiously inquire after the health of
the so-called great railroad or great
corporation lawyers before they go

The man who would be successful
must let the world know that he wants
to succeed. In this day and time the
gum shoe seldom treads the path to
victory of one kind or another Who
is not familiar with the mustached face
and unusually high forehead of the man
who is to be the next governor of Mass
achusetts? All of us have seen it in
print practically every day for a long
time, and the west knew it as well as the
east, says the indianapolis News. When
the democrats of Massachusetts nom
mated William L. Douglas as their
candidate for governor, there was no
need to explain who he was. No one
asked, because every one knew. And
when Mr.. Douglas entered his new
sphere of activity he did not fall into
the ways of those who were already
there. He had methods of his own
which he had tried and found effective.
Printers ink and paste were among his
most able lieutenants, and the people
of Massachusetts knew from the ad-
Vertising columns of the public prints,
which were freely used, and from the bill
boards all over the state that the man
who had been successful in one way was
determined to be successful in another.
Mere political schemes were not de-
pended on; statements, interviews and
the like, which so often fall short of
the multitude, were supplanted by the
means which never fail to reach.

CAUGHT IN ENGLAND.
Man Who Stole Nearly $4,000 from
His Employer Hunted Down.

New York, Nov. 25.-James Wallace,
who is charged with the theft of stock
certificates valued at nearly 100000
from Edward NJ. Breitung, Mar
quette, Mich, banker, by whom he
was employed as confidential secre-
tary, has been arrested in Liverpool.
Nearly $4,000 of the sum alleged to
have been stolen from Breitung was
recovered. Arrangements are now be
ing made looking to the eXtradition Of
Wallace to this country
Wallace fled from Marquette on Oc-
tober 80, leaving word with his en-
ployer that he was going to an Illinois
institution for the cure Of incbTicty.
When he did not return Mr.. Breitung
began an investigation with the result
that $50 shares of Michigan copper
mining stock and 200 shares of United
States Steel preferred stock were
found to be missing
He at once reported the case to the
American Bankers association, with
the result that a search was begun for
Wallace. 1t was found that he took
passage from Boston on the Cunard
liner SaXonia for Liverpool on Novcm-
Der 10 with a woman said to be his
wife, under the name of Mr. and Mrs.
James Wilson. lt was subsequently
learned that Wallace had obtained
letter of credit in Boston for G4,4O0.
When the steamer reached England
detective was at the pier and the man
and woman who had gone over under
the name Of Wilson were followed until
the man was positively identified as
Wallace. Wallace was then taken
into custody. The G4,4OO and the
money which Wallace had in his pos
session was recovered

Buy a Dog.

The swift set in New York has new
fad. 1t is so far-reaching in its ca
pacity for burning up money that it
promises to become popular with the
class whose hours are all idle hours,
and whose heaviest labor is the clip
ping of coupons, says the Cincinnati
Post. If you are not the possessor Of
a Pomeranian dog, you might as well
bid farewell to any idea of butting into
the -Four Hundred. A pup about the
size of rat that can readily be car
ried in shopping bag, has become the
hallmark of aristocracy in New York.
The smaller the dog the more impor-
tant the owner. Pomeranians have
been sold for as high as $4,000. Mrs.
Stuyyesant Fish paid 500 an ounce for
hers, and the total cost of the animal
was about $4,000. That society dar-
ling, Harry Lehr, has equipped his span
iel with pair of emerald earrings and

pretty strenuous, else society might re-
member that few years ago he was
peddler of wine and work ed for liv-
ing. 1t is only fad. 1t is simply a
means by which a certain element in
the so-called smart set can secure ad-
Yertising and notoriety. And notoriety
to those people is as the breath of life
1t is more TO them than the applause
that greets the successful actor. They
court publicity. They want to get
into the newspapers, and so feverish is
that desire that they do things that dis
gust saner folks, and they find thrill
in shocking the public. 1t is foolish,
of course, but what are they to do?
They have money; they do not have
to work, and so they will not work. Or
dinary methods of securing pleasure
have lost their SAVIOR and so we have
the great American vaudeville, in which
men and women caper and cut up, throw
vast sums to the birds, and are really
so simpIe-minded as to call it pleasure.
If you like that sort of thing, you can
get a place on the stage if you are the
owner of a high-priced Pomeranian.

GOOD FEELING NOW ASSURED
Beneficient Conditions Will IN
doubtedly Result from Roose-
velt's Election.

Since election day President Roose-
velts energetic mind has been work
ing along lines that, while not entirely
new, cannot fail of attracting the graf
ification of the American public, says
the Indianapolis Star. A dispatch to
the Star thus interprets the presidents
mind:
During his incumbcncy in Office he will
miuglC with the masses, visiting the great
cities and learning for himself what the
people need, what policy they favor. what
business changes must be brought about
by legislation; in fine, what can lie done
to increase the happiness, prosperity and
contentm.nt Of the masses. lie will ignore
the recommendations Of politicians and the
behcsts OF party organizations. He Will
appoint to federal office only such men as
are acceptable to the people, and in his Sc
lecuons for office he will not be influenced
by senators. representatives or by any
leaders Mr. Roosevelt will invade the
south with arms wide open. He viii de
clare that ne has never sought TO tStabliSn
race equality. lie does not cOnSleef iAls
possible or desirable. lie Will assert that
his only idea Is to recognize manhood
wherever il is found, either in black or
white, and that he seeks to elevate man
hood in the negro. lie believes that such
action will establish better feeling between
the north and the south
The president has undoubtedly ar
gued that the unanimity that charac-
terized his late election warrants him
in making a departure. He realizes
that the enormous and flattering vote
given him was not confined to the re-
publican party, but came from all par
ties. He is warranted in the belief
that he is, for the coming four years,
to be the president of the whole people,
in fact and name, because the latter
have so willed it.
1t is beautiful idea, and carried to
logical conclusion cannot fail of being
of great benefit to the country. If it
is possible for the president, in the
midst of pressing official duties, TO go
among the people and study their af-
fairs and conditions with a purpose OF
bettering them, Abraham Lincoln's de-
sire-the desire born Of Gettysburg and
AppomattOX-will be nearer realized
than ever. Then, indeed, will it be
impossible for "a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie to perish from the earth.
And a constitutional blessing falls
benignly upon the presidents plan.
The welfare of the people" was
vouchsafed the residents of the United
States by that great instrument. and
one important purpose of the visits
and studies of the executive will be to
make happy the countrymcn who have
expressed so splendidly their conf
dence in him.

1t is year of big crops, including
that of republican votes, says the Troy
Times. The returns from Europe show
that the grain yield in most countries Of
the continent has been exceptional. This
is cOnspicuOusly true of Russia. in
some parts of which the grain is so
abundant that the peasant farmers have
difficulty in finding storage room for
it. 1t is a notable coincidence that
Japan which relies chiefly on rice for
food, also has a big showing for it's
staple, the output being 20 per cent.
above the average. This abundance
means that both countries will have suf-
1icient food, even if the war and its
waste continues for many months long
er. Yet it also accentuates the fact
that such strife is costly But for the
war there might be a profitable sale of
the surplus.
