CURRENT COMMENT.

1t is the Hartford Post Rep.) that
is to be credited with arriving at the
interesting conclusion that it is not so
much what Senator Smoot does that
excites the opposition of the women,
but rather what they think he does .
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
Senator Spooner appears to think
that if he is satisfied with the Presi-
dents disregard of the Spooner act,
everybody else ought to be; but Mr..
Spooner should cure himself of the
habit of imagining that he is every
body"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
1.-THE public debt of Australia already
amounts to $27S for every man, wom-
an child in the country; the national
debt of the United States is but $11
per capita. Socialism robs the coun-
try, loads future generations and beg
gars the present population"
The Charleston Post says: ''Hamp-
ton has been dead twenty-one months
and Gordon has been dead seven days.
Yet Georgia has made almost as much
progress toward erecting a monument
to her hero as South Carolina has for
hers. 1t must not be that the Gordon
memorial is completed before that to
Hampton"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: Gen. Gordon, like most of the
eminent actors, confessed that he never
went into battle without feeling stage
fright. That is, he couldn't help think
ing that each succeeding moment might
be his last. And yet there is no doubt
Of his bravery. He fought in thirty
six battles and was shot flYe times"

Rine pnOrtunity.

DR.. G. Watson James, for many years
on the editorial staff of the old Rich
mond Dispatch, used to tell a story
to show how gentle and sweet was the
feeling between the Methodists North
and the Methodists South Immediately
after the war, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
1t was a raw and wet day when the
doctor took a Mississippi steamer at
New Orleans. He was accompanied
by a Virginia Methodist. On board
was a party of about 200 Northern
Methodists, who had been attending a
conference.
The Northern Methodists Rugged
the warm sides of the great exposed
boilers of the steamer.
Another steamer came up astern,
and race started. The doctors craft
was losing by inches, and the captain
had the furnaces roaring with a full
head of steam on.
When an explosion seemed to have
been overdue half hour the Southern
Methodist went out into the cold and
drizzle, and, raising his hands toward
the gray sky, uttered this invocation:
20 Lawd! Far be it from me, yo'
'umble servant, to wish any of yo'
people harm, but if yo' are still in the
biler Dustin business, now's yo'
chance"

says the Saturday Evening Post.
At a recent session of court Steele

After the first case they were hear

judge.

the jury had been awakened, II will

WHAT is NH. MNNNA's GAMEs

Senator Hanna has got the White
House crowd thoroughly scared. His
delay in issuing the call for the
Republican National Convention
caused all sorts of surmises as to his
plans and purposes to be scattered
broadcast over the country. The
Presidents friends seem to think he
has plan to euchre the President out
of the nomination, and the President
is quoted as saying that it was his
intention of making Hanna fish or
cut bait" OF course the President
denies making any such a remark,
and the probability is he didn't make
it. but he has been so wrought up by
the reports that have reached him Of
Hanna's purpose to try to get the
nomination or to give it to some one
not yet named that he hardly knows,

THE "CLUTTERED-UP" HOME.

| 1t is often the case that a person en-
friend feels afraid to move hands or
feet, or even wink the eyes, for fear of
knocking over something. Every
where there are knick-knacks, bric-a-
brac, statuettes, stands. fancy tables
china pieces, and hundred and one
other things that can be crowded into
a parlor. All this mass of ornamental
stuff is supposed to give an air of rich
ness and artistic finish to the room.
AS a matter of fact the greater part of
it is mere trash and in the way. 1t
Expresses the beholder and becomes
tiresome to the owner, though the lat
ter may not like to acknowledge the
truth. In some instances it would APP
pear that an effort had been made to
see how much truck could be disposed
of in a given space and still leave room
for people to move about, if they
moved very slowly and carefully.
Medical Talk, a journal of household
hygiene, says that the "cluttered-up'
parlor is a signboard that says the
rest of the house is apt to be likewise
congested; and it compares the state
of that house with the congested hui
man system, showing that both are I'M
healthy. In Easements and attics and
closets and cupboards of the "cluttered-
up" house there will be found many
valueless articles that were better
thrown into the ash barrel. in order
that their room might be cleansed and
purified. IF the right sort of a bur-
glar could enter such house." says
Medical Talk. land back up a two
horse wagon in front and haul Oft
few wagonloads of this useless stuff,
the people i'll the house would not be
the losers but the gamers" And that
is doubtless true. The basement or
closet or attic that is crammed with
useless stuff becomes a lodging place
for dust and dirt, and a breeding place
for germs and vermin.
There should be simplicity, cleanli-
ness and ventilation in all of the rooms
of a house. The most charming par
lor is not that which has the greatest
and most varied number of articles In
it. A parlor may be literally stuffed
with costly furniture and baubles and
still be a most uncomfortable, dasolate
and frowsy place. An over-dressed

dressed woman. in it's suggestion of a

Of want of the true household econ

eer are the physicians who should be
called on to treat congested households.

FREEDOM FOR MRS. MAVERICK.

It seems to be settled that Mrs. Flor
ence Maybrick is to be given her free
dom next April, at which time will
come to a legal conclusion one of the
most remarkable criminal cases of
modern days. Like 'Paffaire Dreyfus,"
the Maybrick case has been of inter-
national interest from its inception.
Mrs. Maybrick, the American wife of
an English cotton merchant, was &C
cused of poisoning her husband. Upon
trial she was convicted and sentenced
to death. Later the death sentence
was committed to Imprisonment for life.
She was convicted fifteen years ago and
has been in prison ever since. She is
the most famous prisoner in the world.
Circumstantial evidence was strong
against her in the trial. but there were
certain links of evidence that were
lacking. Her story of her husbands
last illness was as plausible as that of
the prosecution, but in it there were
also missing links. Neither story was
complete. 1t was one of those doubtful
cases in which, according to the late
declares that the accused shall have the
benefit of the doubt. Further, accord
ing to Sir Charles, the court that tried
Mrs. Maybrick was violently prejudiced
against her and used all doubts to her
disadvantage. Sir Stephen Fitzjames
that he practically took the case into
his own hands and made such rulings
that the conviction Of the woman was
| forced; there was no alternative for
the jury to take. 1t is significant that
soon after the trial was concluded and
Sir Stephen Fitzjames went crazy and
later died in an asylum.
The element of doubt of the woman's
guilt, which was patent to all who
studied the testimony, brought many
influential friends to her cause. Ameri-
can diplomats of high standing made
representations to the British depart
ment of justice, and eminent English
| and American lawyers did what they
could in her behalf. After a time, in
response to these advances, the death
sentence was committed, but there was
a sturdy denial of new trial or pardon
for the woman. Year after year the eff
forts in her behalf were renewed,
but without success until recently. AT
| length, when the authorities consider
that she has been punished sufficiently
for crime which she may possibly not
have committed, and the titles to some
thousands of acres of American
lands are dependent upon her
release from prison so that
she may testify in an American
court respecting them, they have re-
solved to give her liberty in the APP
preaching spring. This decision will
prove popular. There has always been
a large measure of sympathy with the
suffering woman, and the law has now
been satisfied. AS to the truth respect.

sHrPBuILpING IN 1909.

Great Britain is still the great mari
time nation of the world, nor does there
appear any likelihood that she will
| soon lose her prestige on the seas.
Year after year she is adding to her
fleets; not building the finest and fast
est ships, possibly, but building and
sailing the ships that carry more of
the worlds tonnage of commerce than
those of any two or three other ma
lions.
Last year there were launched in all
| countries a total of 2.441 ships, of
which 1,25S were from the stocks of
yards in England, Scotland and Ire
land, and 90 from yards in the British
colonies. This gives a total of 1854
new ships under the British flag, as
against 1887 for the rest of the world.
And the figures of tonnage of the craft
launched are almost in equal proper
ton as largely in favor OF Great Brit
ain. The Germans, the French and the
Americans have built some large ships,
but the British put the 24,000-tOn Baltic
into the water, along with five others
lduBlIS lIOlll lOsfuU W %AbuoV Wis N'N~A's
On the river Clyde alone there were
launched last year a greater number
and tonnage of new ships than were
launched in any country save England.
In the United States the total of new
vessels launched was 1855, of 495,14
tons and $4,000 indicated horsepower.
The Clyde put over 2T7 ships of 446,S69
tons and 1921 horse power. In Eng
land ship building material is duty
free, and ship owners are permitted to
buy their vessels wherever they please
and sail them under the British flag.
In the United States every particle of
the material used in a ship is subject
to a tariff tax. From truck to keel,
and from cutwater to rudder post, the
American ship is plastered over with
protection" nor may a vessel fly the
American flag unless it was built in
an American yard. How the two poll
cies work is to be seen in the compare
tive launchings of last year.
1t was thought, some years ago, that
the limit of size in steamships and
the limit of development of power in
reciprocating steam engines had been
reached but the facts show that ships
go on increasing in size and engines
in power. The ultimate has not yet
been achieved. Bigger, heavier and
deeper ships are being constructed
year after year, and now the great
problem confronting the commercial
world is the depth of harbors for the
accommodation of the leviathans of the
sea. Deep-water at the leading ports
is absolutely essential. not only to the
prosperity of the ports themselves, but
to that of the interior sections which
they serve.

Senator Latimer of South Carolina
and Representative Brownlow of Ten
nessee are running a neck-andneck
race in Congress in their advocacy of
government appropriations for good
roads. Mr.. Latimer's bill proposes
an expenditure of $S,O0O,OO0 a year for
a period of three years, in the i'm
provement of public highways, the sum
to be apportioned among the states
in proportion to population and each
state to put up as much money as it
gets from the general government.
Mr.. Brownlow's bill is a little more
ambitious in point of sum total to be
expended, but it also provides that
the states shall raise a part of the
funds to be used in road building.
Both congressman take the position
that the farmers of the country would
be greatly benefited by the construc-
ton of good roads, and that the farm
ers have as much right to ask for
consideration as the manufacturers or
