It will surprise many to know that
England than in this country, in spite
Of all the efforts which have been made
for the past half-century to eradicate
the evil. 1t Is the worst in the seaport
cities, where there is a large purchas-
able vote, and the candidates of both
parties are equally guilty in the buy
ing and selling. A very stringent cor
rupt practices act was passed many
years ago, but owing to the expense
attending its application it Is q dead
letter. Before Anyone could contest an
election he must deposit $4,000. It
sometimes costs as much as $4,000 to
gain seat which rightfully belongs
to the contestant. The members of
Parliament receive no salaries, and
consequently these great expenses are
prohibitiveyf. They have the same trou-
bles that are known in this country Of
a man staying bought In the
smaller places money can be expended
with reasonable certainty that the man
will vote as ne has been paid to do, but
in the larger cities the floating element
takes all the money 1t can get from
both sides and then votes or not as it
pleases. Mr. f. w. Cation, Secretary
of the London Reform Union, who has
spent many years in the work of puri-
flying elections, says that i'm many
places particularly Yarmouth the
practices are worse than Tammany's

The courts continue in business at
the old stand, teaching a great many
over-greedy financiers that honesty is
much the best policy. Judge Tayler, of
the United States District Court for
Eastern Ohio, overruled, last Friday.
a motion for a new trial for o. L.
Hayes, President Of the Gallon National
Bank, and sentenced him to serve
seven and q half years In the Ohio
penitentiary and pay the costs Of pros
ecution. At the same time Judge Tay-
Ter sentenced Edward Flickinger. Pres
ident Of the Flickinger Wheel Co., of
Gallon. for aiding and abetting in the
transportation Of the banks funds
to also serve seven and a half years
in the Ohio penitentiary and pay the
costs Of prosecution. Seven and half
years Is an immense period to take out
OF mans active life, and when the
possibilities of these are figured up 1t
will be seen that Messrs. Hayes and
Flickinger would have made a great
deal more money by being honest, even
IL the profits were not SO great at the
time.

"a Rich Store Of Good Thinxs.-

MY old reliable National Tribune"
writes Comrade A. j. Wells, Co. c, 32d
Wis, from Milton, Wis; there is no
other paper that fills the bill for us
comrades. / notice there is a rich store
of good things mapped out for us in
the coming year. i am so much inter-
ested in The National Tribune that in
some instances I have given one-half
Of the subscription price from my own
pocket to get the boys interested as I
am. I was glad to see a note in your
columns from d. A. Winchel, Waveriy,
Iowa. l cannot begin to tell you how
much / enjoy reading Opening OF the
Mississippi the taking Of Vicksburg,
New Orleans and Mobile. I find good
things in The National Tribune every

Il visited Vicksburg last March, and
the depot agent there was talking about
the war. He said: We Southerners
were not whipped. The only trouble
was whenever we lost a man we didn't
have another to take his place. thank
you for Washington in War Times

There is not little jealousy among
South American Roman Catholics as to
representation in the highest council Of
the Church. There has been no Cardi-
nal in America south Of the United
States on account of these jealousies,
but recently 1t was reported that the
Archbishop of Rio Janeiro, Brazil,
would be created a Cardinal. Argen-
tina claims a similar recognition, be-
cause of her good relations with the
Church; Chile. because the Archbish-
cpric of Santiago is the oldest in South
America. and Peru, because she was
the first country on the Continent where
a Roman Catholic hierarchy was estab-
lished. The Vatican has placated these
aspirants for the time being by an
rouncing that in future the Cardinals
for Latin America will be chosen in
turn from those countries, and includ-
ing Mexico.

The annual election of directors of
the Equitable Assurance Company took
place last Thursday with Is directors
elected out of the So. There was Moth
ing notable in the personality of those
chosen except that Sir William Mather

at Manchester and q ex-member of
Parliament. Among the other new d.
rectors are Mr.. Humphreys. President
of the Stevens Institute; Mr. Swan
strom, ex-President of the Borough of
Brooklyn and Mr.. Randolph is Presi-

Senator Germans troubles thicken
upon him. The result of the Mary
land election was staggering blow at
his leadership, and it looks as if his
political ruin would be completed by
the organization of the Maryland Leg
islature Germans leading opponents
in the Democratic Party-Gov. War
field, Ex-Governor Smith and Ex-Gov-
ernor Jackson, who have heretofore
been at outs-have come into alliance
as against German and will elect Sena-
tor John P. Moore, of Worcester Coun-
ty, for President of the Senate and
Richard S. Hill, of Prince Georges
County, for Speaker of the House. This
will defeat the men whom German had
selected for those positions. and 1t is
believed will shatter his machine into
crreless ruin.

Gov. Pennypacker, on behalf of the
State Of Pennsylvania, accepted, Dec.
9, 1905, the monument to the 109th
Pa. which has been erected on Orchard
Knob. near Chattanooga. There was
quite a large attendance at the cere-
monies, which were opened by Col.
Fred L. Climber, of the 109th Pa, read
ing history Of the organization. Then
Capt. George w. Skinner, of the Penn
sylvania Commission, transferred the
shaft to the Governor. who accepted it
in fine speech and turned the monu-
nient over to the Government in the
person Of Gen. E. A. Carman. The
music was furnished by the band OF the
18th U. s. Cav, and a squadron Of that
regiment escorted the Governor and
his party.

It IL pointed out that the tariff on
hides cannot make any substantial diff
ference In the price OF shoes. Only %
per cent OF the imported hides pay any
duty. These are the cow hides from
which heavy boots and shoes are made
and they pay q duty Of only Is per
cent. A pair Of coarse shoes made OF
cowhide weighs about two pounds
making the duty on them about three
cents. On the Douglas shoe, which
sells for $3.50, the duty amounts posi-
bly, to 1--WE cents. The hides from which
shoes are made for women and children
psy no duty. The leather required to
make a set Of harness weighs about IL
pounds, making the duty Is cents
There has been q great increase In the
price OF leather lately, largely due to
the demand for leather made by Japan
for the use OF her army in the Orient
The strongest argument has been that
the beef trust was mainly benefited by
the tariff on hides but this has been
shown to be untrue, since green hides
are everywhere commanding a price OF
about 10 cents a pound more than they
did a year or SO ago.

The Security Mutual Life Insurance
Co., OF Binghamton, N. Y, is now upon
the investigation gridiron and a great
deal of interesting testimony is being
brofled out. The first startling item is
that an officer of the State Insurance
Department has been upon the pay
rolls OF the Company as a consulting
actuary." The officers of the Company
admit that they knew the man was in
the States employ when they put him
on the rolls. Though President Har-
per Of the Company has been dead
some time his salary has been going
on and is paid to his widow and ex-
ecutors, so far $134.067.

The chief industry of Bethlehem of
Judea is that of the mother-of- pearl
workers.
The shells are brought from the Red
Sea, and in the hands Of native artisans
are polished and carved. the larger into
elaborate designs; the smaller are cut
up for rosaries and crosses The work
is all done by hand. and the methods
are amazingly primitive to a spectator
from the home of steam and electric
power. But the results are extraordi-
nary. The largest shell we saw was
carved in scenes from the Birth OF
Christ. the Agony I'm the Garden, and
the Crucif1xion. and had the general
effect OF delicate frostwork Under the
magnifying-gl glass every detail was seen
to be perfect in outline and I'm finish.
It was executed to order for q wealthy
American, and was to cost $3.50
About $50 people make a living by
this industry, which Is 500 years old
In the shops the workmen sit upon the
floor. their benches in front of them:
the air is full OF whitish dust, and the
light, admitted by the single window
and the open door, so dim that the ex-
quisite tracery of the wrought shells is
a mystery even before the visitor notes
how few. simple and crude are the in
struments employed.

The Germans have made such . lot
OF noise over the adulteration In Amer
lean food products. and particularly Of
the inferior quality Of our pork. that
It comes with . sense Of almost Joy to
learn that q large number Of the lead
ing provision dealers OF Berlin are on
trial for food adulteration, and the
most startling developments are made
as to the famous Berlinerwurst and
Wfenerwurst. The leading manufac-
turer of these delicacies and delight Of
the beer saloon frequenters. was prov
en- to have usel all sorts Of filthy and
semi-decomposed fats and meats In
their production, buying UP for the
purpose anything In the meat. butter or
oleomargarine line that was offered for
sale at the lowest price. Frequently
when the cauldrons were emptied there
was six inches Of sand In their bottoms,
which included all manner of nth.
Great quantities OF these disgusting
sausages were exported to the United
States. Very many OF the prominent
provision dealers of Berlin were impli-
Gated in this crime against the public
health.

Though the Germans have an
nounced that they had quieted every
thing in South Africa the facts are
against them. They have been carry
ing on a long, annoying and quite ex-
pensive war, which is yet far from an
end, and which must necessarily take
the conceit out of the Germans as, to
their perfect mastery of everything re-
lating to fighting. If they had not been
SO self-satisfied it would have been to
their advantage to send over here for
some of our old Indian fighters to teach
them q few tricks of the trade

menting against the leadership of John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi. The
head and front of the rebellion will be

which he allows to control him to the
injury of the we'll being Of his party.

Against the general protest of the
better part Of English people and of
those In South Africa. the mining COM
panies imported great numbers of
Chinese coolies. Their experiences with
these has been very far from satisfac-
tory. In the first place, in spite of all
inspection. the Cinnamon are a badly
diseased lot, and bring with them foul
disorders. The next step is that they
do not seem to have as much intelli-
gence as a negro in the use of explo-
sives, and a number OF very bad acct
dents have resulted. Thirdly, they are
more than usually treacherous. It has
been found that 1t is not safe for any,
one to go up a ladder or in a bucket
without having a Chinaman ahead of
him. because somebody will certainly
be dropping stones and pieces of iron
down upon the unlucky one. Lastly.
the Chinaman is charged with being
absolutely destitute of any moral
sense. He cannot be controlled by any
emotion except fear. and the fear must
be constant to hold him In check.
