Especial Washington letter.

special Washington Letter.l
Rwv HE latest reports from all Sec
@ lions of the country are most
encouraging to Democrats.
1A4N Even Massachusetts is begin
ming to be considered debatable ground.
There is talk of nominating Hon. Rich-
ard Olney for governor. which would
perhaps give the victory to the Demo-
Gratis. The news indicates that ex-
United States Senator George Turner,
the Democratic nominee, will be elect
ed governor of the far northwestern
state of Washington. And thus it
runs all along the line. Democrats
have reason to be of good cheer.

Rahcock Speaks.


Mr.. Babcock. chairman of the Re
publican congressional campaign com
mittee, is not garrulous person. Quite
the contrary. His speciality is frying
out the fat and placing it where it will
do the most good for the G. 0. p. He
is out in an interview in which, while
claiming Roosevelt's election, he ex-
presses grave doubts as to the house.
giving as his reasons the numerous
fractional fights among Republicans in
the congressional districts Mr. Bah
cocks interview is to be taken with a
pinch of salt That he has fears touch
ing the complexion of the next house
is altogether probable, for all sensible
Republicans entertain such fears, but
he knows, as does every other intelli-
gent man, from an examination of his
tory that the chances are ten to one in
favor of the proposition that which
ever party elects the president win
control the house. Why. then, Bah
cocks .sweeps 2" Why does he predict
Roosevelt's election and fear for the
house? Tie explanation is that he
wants to handle the funds, or at least
half of them. He is opposed to the ma
tional committee hogging everything
That's all. If the house is In danger,

in peril, and Babcock knows it.

What has become of the rule against
federal ofticeholders meddling with
politics? Every cabinet minister who
is supposed to be capable of making
speech is now on the stump or soon
will be whooping it up for the G. o. 2.
The attention of the civil service COM
mission is hereby called to this per-
Torrance If the little fellows in I'm
Gle Sans pay are prohibited from tax
ing part in politics, why should not
the prohibition extend to the big ones
also? These cabinet ministers must
surely be making speeches unknown to
President Roosevelt, as he is civil
service reformer of high degree.

ENa1IsnMEn rHouaHrFnL.

Britannia rules the wave, but recent events have tended to unsettle her con- fdence in the sure continuance of that ruling. She has seen how easily a tor pedo, a mine or submarine boat may knock battleship to pieces. and she is wondering. One English paper says: The loss of the Hatsuse shows how slight, comparatively. is the tenure oh which maritime superiority is held. A battleship is the equivalent of at least an army corps, but an army corps can not be annihilated in five minutes be- cause on-commissioned officer has lost his head or because a dashing subaltern of the enemy's cavalry has risked his life on a forlorn hope. This is what may come about at sea St any moment.
 It is hard to tell what can be done about such situation. Perhaps the nations ought to agree to fight fair without torpedoes, mines or submarine boats, but perhaps they wont. If not, everybody must strive to have the best of the new death-and-destructi deal- CTS and to be best able to work them.

THE PRUssIAN Co4x TRUST

This isn't the only country that has a coal trust question. There is a coal trust in Prussia, and it made an ar rangement that the output of the mines should be controlled by the central ad- ministration so as not to exceed what was thought to be the proper demands of the market. Quite a number of the Prussian coal mines were not in the combination, and it was thought that in the case of others that were in it this limitation upon output, in view of their geographical location, might prove financially detrimental For this reason the large companies own- ing mines in the northern part of the kingdom have undertaken to purchase the mines in the southern part of the coal basin for the purpose of closing them. The cnanges in ownership al- ready made have been considerable,

rnn roLIor SITUATION.

The policemen os New Haven don't seem to have many admirers just now. at least many who are fervently and vociserously praising their devotion to duty, their skill and their efficiency. And there are many critics of them who are fervently and vociferously telling them that they are no good. Perhaps the truth. as in most such cases, lies in the middle. Perhaps the police of New Haven don't work as hard and skillfully as they might. Few, except the Japanese, do. But also perhaps they are no more idle and unskillsul than other policemen are. It may be re- membered that London had Jack the Ripper, who managed to evade the thousands of policemen who were being besought and ordered to catch him. In other places bold and bizarre criminals have been able to keep out of police mems eyes and hands. Of course this is no excuse for whatever neglect of duty by the police there may have been in New Haven. It should, on the con- trary, stir them to effort to make a better record than some other police men have made. Doubtless they feel sufficiently stirred now. If they don't we don't know when they will. They are certainly getting it in the place where they ought to give it to crimi- nals. May they be able to soon show either that they haven't deserved all the hard and sharp words that have been thrown at them, or that those words have had the desired effect.

TITO KIND mEN " KANSAS.

If there is one thing more than an- other which women need from men it is kindness. And it is just the thing which they say they don't get. We fear that they don't get as much as they want or ought to have, and it therefore gives us pleasure to notice acts of kindness which may at least in- dicate that men are improving. The other day there was a case in Kansas which was encouraging. A Kansas mans wife found pleasure in chasing him around the yard with loaded pistol which she would occasionally a kind man didn't want to spoil her pleasure, nor did he really want to be shot just for fun, because he knew that if his wife did shoot him she wouldn't be sure afterwards of the care he had given her. So when she wasn't looking he took the ball out of the pis- tol, and then ran about the yard to please her as before, rejoicing in the thought that she was having good time and that it wouldn't be fatal to him. But he isn't the only kind man in Kansas. There is another. This man found it necessary to drive his wife from his bed and board, and she went away without her clothes, which indicates the hurry she was in. But she found she needed them and came back after them. Her husband kindly threw them to her out of window, and she went away pleased if not en- tirely happy.
 Perhaps there are more kind men in Kansas, and perhaps there are some in other States. We hope so, for the cru city of men toward women is so ap- parent and disproportionate that there ought to be some offset to it.

 Snapshots were unknown then, and so were newspaper artists, as they are called. Lincoln went to his hotel to fix up, and called for him at the appoint ed time. I think he saw that I was surprised.
 How do look?" he asked.
 His coat was buttoned from top to bottom, but it was his hair that caused me to look at him. He had evidently wet it, and it was stuck to the skin and across his temples as smoothly as if it

This outrage greatly incensed the people, and Bill and Porter Sterling, who lived at Seventh and Q Streets in Atchison and Daniel Mooney and Ben Brewkr of the Pardee neighborhood were arrested for the crime. Mrs Kel- Isey identified them, and they hired
 John J. Ingalls, to defend them. Mooney

 lives near Potter, and one hundred of his neighbors rode into Atchison, and announced that they intended to try the four men in a citizens court. Ingalls, was told to keep away, and he did it. The Barnes took charge of thJacourt- house, and gave the men fair trial and found them guilty. Ass Barnes ap- peared on the courthouse steps, and said it had been decided to leave the fate of the men with the crowd that ing would please go north, and those in favor of turning the prisoners over to the civil authorities would please go south- The north won, and the prison CTS were informed that they would be hanged in half an hour. The wives of the condemned men were present, and

and it has been estimated that. when completed. they would throw out of work in Prussia from 25,OOO to sO.Oo0 men. The subject was brought before the Landtag by one of the deputies in the form of an interpolation to know whether the Prussian government would permit of such proceedings, which appeared to be illegal under Ar tiele 65 of the mining law. which reads: Those who receive a mining concession are obliged to continue working it when the official administrator of the mines judges that strong motives of public interest are opposed to the ces- sation or to the interruption of the work. In such case the administration lis given the right to compel those hold ing a concession. after delay of six months, to continue work or abandon the mine, and if it's order is not obeyed it may revoke the concession granted.
 The Prussiap minister of commerce announced that it was his intention to Iresolutely apply this law. and if this were found in any way ineffective to ask for such additional legislation as would prevent the proposed cessation of those mining operations which would be carried on under the ordinary con- ditions of trade. Probably the Prus- sian coal trust question wont be treated exactly as the similar question in this country was.

He is still in the prime of life, a sober minded, self-contained, determined man, one who recognizes clearly what he and his class want and what they believe they can achieve by constitu- tioflal means. He is deemed a quiet, reserved business man, with certain talent for intrigue in the sense that he knows perfectly well how to drive d hard political bargain with a harassed ministry, and has never failed to insist upon it's execution to the letter. On the other hand, even his political opponents acknowledge that he acts up to his promises.

The Administrator of New Guinea has recently reported that tribe has been found which is virtually incapable of walking. These people inhabit q marshy district which is too soft to walk in and too solid to allow of navi- gation in canoe. Locomotion of any kind is thus impossible, and they have become a purely sedentary race, lead- ing stationary existence in the dwell- ings which they have built in the trees just above the level of the swamps. It would be natural to expect, under these circumstances, that they would gradu- ally lose the use of the limbs and mus cles employed in walking. This result has actually come about. They cannot perambulate on hard ground without causing their feet to bleed with the un- usual exercise. Their extremities have shrunk, while the trunk has become
