HEARD IN PASSING

Just when we thought we had a strNngle hold on the meat habit some one comes along and boosts vegetables and fish into the chariot of high prices. New Britain Herald.

An English preacher entertained his congregation recently by performing chemical miracles in the pulpit.

A DISGRACE TO GEORGIA.

Georgia has no state prison. The "penitentiary'' consists of the felony convicts. These are in charge of tho prison commission and are farmed out in local chain gangs. They are not di- rectly worked by the state. Into the local chain gangs the petty offenders who are convicted i'll the municipal courts also find their way, and are worked side by side with felons and are subjected to the same rigorous treatment. This utter confusion be- tween the two classes of offenders is clearly brought out in Judge Speer's opinion: "Forty-six of the men sen fenced to the Georgia penitentiary are now in the Bibb county chain gang, At night they are separated from the convicts from the recorders court by q wooden lattice. In the day these criminals of most desperate charnc- ter, from all parts of the state, work indiscriminately with the men, wo- men and children sentenced from the recorders court for the petty offenses of which he has jurisdiction. It can not be said however, that the con- victs of the recorder have the rights under the law afforded the felons. One guilty of burglary, arson, man. slaughter or any cr4me on the calen-

JAP SOLDIERS POSTCARD HOME.

The Japanese government has found novel and excellent use for post cards. Realizing that, for various rea- sons, the soldier on campaign may not have leisure or opportunity to write home to his family, the military au- thorities have supplied to each army a sufficient number of postcards, ready printed, to which the soldier has only to afffx his name or, more exactly, his seal, each Japanese soldier carrying one with him as part of his outfit.
 On all the cards the same message is printed "This is to let you know that I am alive and well. cannot give you my address, not knowing where I shall be tomorrow; but your letters will reach me some time or other If you reply to the place the name of which is printed in the post mark. Greetings to my family and friends" This is an idea which might well be copied by other nations
 At once practical and humane, it would cost little and save many thou sands of people from unnecessary anx- iety and pain.-Manchester Guardian.

Taking a hint from the patent med icine folks, the New York World is procuring and publishing signed tes- timonials setting forth the unrivaled merits of Joseph Pulitzer's new open letter to Theodore Roosevelt. One of these comes from up the Hudson. "A vigorous, trenchant, notable letter." writes Alton B. Parker. 'It should be read, marked and digested by all" The reporter who obtained this testi- monial mentions with pride that rr's the first signed statement the judge has ever given to a newspaper man.. Hartford Courant.
 Well, the New York World is not alone in thhs kind of work. The Bos- ton Pilot is now engaged in the same business from republican srand- point, and perhaps nothing would please Editor Roche more than to be able to publish an autograph letter from President Roosevelt for instance, endorsing the Pilots course.

dar however heinous, has been ac- corded copy of the accusation against him, trial by jury, the oppor- tunity to appeal-in short, due process of law. Not so with the lad who loiters on the streets, or is overcome by sleep in the depot. Not so the. li" censed barber who turns over his chair to a brother. but unlicensed ar tist, during his temporary absence from the shop. To the same branch of the penitentiary they may swiftly go." That such a state of affairs would be tolerated in any. state We should not have believed. That it does exist is disgrace to any people. Who are your lawmakers and what are they doing? That Judge Speer was right in declaring the punishment thus meted out to municipal offenders to be infamous both in law and in fact no conscience can deny. No less certain is the legal conclusion that the punishment in question was imposed without due process of law.-Law Notes.

Must not the vice president ofttimes in reminiscent mood be pained as he recalls the fact that five of his prede- cessors died in office rather than en- dure it, while Uncle Joe Cannon bur rowed himself out of sight into the butt end of the English language and ate smokeless tobacco until the party leaders had kidnapped Fairbanks and placed him in cold storage to await the action of the recent republi- can convention? writes J. Adam Bede. Nor could he overlook the fact that the only demonstrably great man, John c. Calhoun, who was chosen vice president under our present system, covering the hundred years between Aaron Burr and Theodore Roosevelt, resigned and went home that he might return to the senate, although his studious nature might well have en- joyed a functonless job. And in the one hundred and four years between Jefferson and Roosevelt, no vice pres ident except Van Buren was elected to the presidency, and only one other, John c. Breckinridge, was nominated by his party for that highest office, and he only by the southern wing of the democracy in 1860. Fillmore was taken up by the third-party Know Nothing movement in 1850, and our vice presidents have generally, by common consent, been bundled off into that sort of a crowd.

ployers shall be firmly resisted. It is this same spirit that, with the ports of England open freely to the products of every land, keeps wages in England above the wage level of continental European countries with their high tariff walls. But for labor unions wages both in America and England would sink to the lowest figure which immigrants from cheap labor coun- tries would be willing to accept. For it should be kept well in mind that. while there is a tariff on goods, there is no tariff on immigration, and a con stant stream of cheap labor Is pouring into the United States to compete in many calHngs with the workingman already established here. The contract labor law is easily evaded, and was openly defied by republican manufac- turers before democratic administra- tion, under President Cleveland, made a sincere effort to enforce the law. It Is we'll known fact that the very manufacturers who cry the loudest for HlSh ltiIuh UuClSS OH the SOOuS LHSy have to sell protest the strongest against any restriction on the admis- sion of cheap foreign labor to maru- fracture the goods for them. It Is. not without significance that the republi- can manufacturers of Massachusetts have sent George F. Hoar to the
 United States senate term after term, where he openly and earnestly advo- cates the removal of all barriers against Chinese immigration. Hoar represents in this the general wish and aim of the monopolies which owe their existence to the excessive tariff. With free immigration of the Chinese, who 1 are quick to adapt themselves to any trade they are permitted to follow, the tariff monopolists could crush the American workingman beyond hope of resurrection, and every victory for tue republican party is step toward breaking down the barrier which now keeps the Ohinaman out, and which was erected at the demand of Ameri- can union labor to whose efforts is also due the credit for raising wages, falsely claimed for the high tariff.

The truth is that both Ill America
 and England the maintenance of wages at figures that are high con- pared with those paid in continental Europe is due to the strength, the ef- forts and the sacrifices of labor unions, says Henry Mann in discussing this subject recently. The only real pro- tection which the American working man has to-day is that derived from labor unionism, from the determine ton of the self-respecting American worker that his pay shall not be re
 duced below the standard of decent living, and that every step in that di- rection on the part of unprincipled eun-

 HOlD-UP.
Drunken Paizano Stations Himself Near the Roundhouse for the Pur.
 pose of Holding Up Employees Is Captured, Kicked and Turned Loose.
Especial to Review.)

Douglas, May 14.-Employes of the roundhouse had a bad quarter of an hour, as the French would say, yester- day afternoon when an unknown Mexi- can stationed himself at one side of the building with a rife, evidently with the purpose of holding up each man as he knocked off work
 The Mexican was mucho boraccho but he evidently meant business all the more for being inebriated. The majority of the employees took il that discretion was the better part of val or, and beat a retreat from the rear but one of them, Mike Drummy, exc cuted a flank movement on the Mexi can, and before the hombre realized what he was up against, Drummy had a half-Nelson hold on him that did the business. After taking the gun away from him. and administering a few kicks on that portion of his anatomy that was most convenient, Drummy let the Mexican go, but confiscated the rifle.
 The identity of the daylight Dick Turpin is unknown.

He is five feet ten inches tall and weighs 329 pounds. Senator Hepburn is said to possess one of the most robust appetites known on the Pacific coast. but whether or not this reputation is deserved his girth is six. ty inches. and his we; lth is S2.000,000.
 Senator Ankeny is tall and slender and is known as the Russell Sage of the west. He commands more ready cash than any other capitalist of his section and is chief stockholder in twenty banks scattered throughout Washington, Idaho and Oregon. It is said that in forty-eight hours he could mass S3,000000 in any of these banks to his own credit.

Among the United States senators who for the first time appeared as members of that august body at tbe opening of the special session of con gress were several whose great for tunes will aid in maintaining the repu- tation which the American house of lords has gained as being the richest legislative assemblage in the world.
 The senate has long been called a "millionaires' club" but it has never had so many rich members as at pres ent, their combined wealth being es- timated at S20O,O00.o00. Three new members of hrge wealth who have just entered the exclusive circle are Weldon E. Heyburn of Idaho. Levi Ankeny of Washington and Francis G. Newlands of Nevada.

January is John r. Dryden of New Jersey, who is credited with Sl0,O00.- 900, nearly all of which was made in life insurance. He began operations with an office staff numbering but three all told and an outfit costing not more than s200. Today he has under his supervision over 30.000 persons iD all parts of the country. John kean, the other New Jersey senator. is rated at S5,000,000, mainly inherited.
 The richest man in the senate is W. A. Clark of Montana. Probably he him. self does not know how much he is worth. but his income is said to be ST. 100000 a month, so it is safe to put him down at S100,0O0,O00.
 The two West Virginia senators Stephen B. EIkins and Nathan B. Scott, together own a large part of the state. It is supposed that each of tEem is the possessor of at least $10.000. coo. Mark Hanna's S10,OO0,O0 is chiefly in vested in the iron business and in steamship traffic on the great lakes. Kearns of Utaa and Wetmore of Rhode Island also count their wealth in this class.
 Then there are dozens of senators who reckon their possessions between S1 100000 and S5,00o.0O0, among the latter being Proctor of Vermont and Alger of Michigan. In fact, the num- Der of men in the senate who are mil lionaires comprises at least one-quarter of that august body.

 Douglas, May IA. NJ. Corona has just returned from a trip to the Yaqui river country. eighteen miles from Yzabel. and fifty miles south of Doug las, where he went To examine some mining properties in which he is in teresteC together with A. J. Lighfoot and Sid w Howard. Of this city. A. Martinet. of Cumpas. and Liborio Vas quez. of Yaqui river. They hold claims aggregating 135 pertenencias in the Picachp district. and in the Basaetequi group. They are gold propositions. and some very valuable assay returns have been taken from them. Single assays have run as high as s4700 gold to the ton. Fifty assays made of one claim showed an average value of s97 Not much development work has been done. but the value of the prop critics has been demonstrated so thor oughly that party Of Michigan peo- pie, who are expected to arrive here within few days, have purchased them.
 An unappreciated source of wealth in the country south of Douglas Is call ed 10 mind by some samples of native woods which Mir. Corona brings back with him. These are of two varieties the chino, which grows in the bot toms of the Yaqui, and the huerigo. which is found in the canyons and on the mountains. Both are hard, fine grained woods, susceptible of very high polish, and properly introduced are destined to become extremely pop ular with manufacturers of artistic furniture. The chino wood is red in color, and hard as ironwood. and would make an excellent substitute for rose wood. The huerigo is of a golden tint, and is hard as the chino. Some oi the trees are seven feet through, and , the timber is clear throughout. The ! wooG is almost understandable. The | woodwork in the Church of La Capil- i la at Pilares de Teras, which was built by the Padres and Indians 1S2 years ago. is as sound today as 1t was when it was sawed from the virgin i trees.
 i In bringing back these specimens oi ! valuable Mexican woods MT. Corona 1 intends to interest some of the lead ing furniture manufacturers of the East in them. There is no doubt that they will become popular in the manu facture of high-grade furniture and for the making of articles de vertu.
