Cost of Good Government.

The greater the responsibilities as
sumed by municipalities in admins
tering public utilities, the greater are
the knowledge and vigilance necessary
for every citizen. Good government
and protection from abuse of public
trusts cost not only money but per-
sonal study and service of every one
ical organization must be overcome
by good ones as efficiently led, as well
equipped with money and as vigilant-
~ supported by honest citizens. This
is the most important lesson of Amer
lean citizenship. Public business will
expand and succeed just as fast as all
the people enter into active partner
snip in it, and no faster-Cor grega-

REBATES TO GET BUSINESS.
Hearing In Missouri State Suit TO Gust
The Standard.

Kansas City, July 15.-That giving
of rebates is a compromise practice
to secure business was brought out
today in the testimony of A G. Shires
of Marietta, Ohio, travelling salesman
for the Pennsylvania Refining Com
pany of Oil City, Pa, who was a wit
ness at the hearing in the states suit
to GUST the Standard Oil Company

the state of Missouri.
Henry Teagle, the manager, Mr.
Shires said, told him to get certain
of the Nationals custom and, if ne
cessary, pay a rebate. The rebate ap-
piled only to the Nationals trade. Mr..
Shires said he was told by Mr.. Teagla
to say to customers that the Republic

Mr.. Shires said that when he was
manager at st. Joe for the Republic

oil on hand and he wired Kansas City

said, to transfer the oil to the Stand

times used the Standards horses.

eudneons No Lonaer Ritina.

Confidence in Wall street is at low
ebb, as evidenced by the refusal of
the public to bite at the bait thrown
to it by promoters, spectators and
financial adventures. In the good. old
days all that was necessary to sell a
new stock or bond was the indorse-
ment of some alleged reputable bank
ing house. The banking house would
reap the harvest and let the public
hold the bag. But investors have
learned a few things during the last
few years and they are now as wary
of the traps set for them by designing
Wall street men as they are of known
confidence sharks. What is needed in
Wall street is a thorough cleaning.

to whom he pays great deal of at

their prattle with evident delight. A
Viennese journalist says that were it
not for the huge jewels in his attire
he would look more like a Wallachian
shepherd than like shah. He is
short and rather stout, has sloping
shoulders and body that9looks as if
it might be made of tallow or cheese.
His countenance is thin, his features
relaxed, his expression blase. Though
he seems almost like = caricature,
there is something pathetic about his
appearance.

"It,s All Dead.v

A physician recently related an incl
dent which had come under his OBJ
servation showing the aversion GER
tain little fellow of entertained for
dead chickens. On being seated at a
table upon which was an uncarved
chicken, he cried out in evident dis
tress, Its all dead mamma. / must
have hurried it," and he could scarcely
be persuaded to remain at the table
until the dead creature was carved
past recognition.
Children are naturally tender and
sympathetic. not only toward each
other, but also solicitous for the well
fare of the lower animals. The parents
of this child will probably congratulate
themselves when his tender nature be-
comes so calloused that the sight of a
dead animal being devoured will seem
to him entirely consistent. and will no
longer excite his pity.
Many of the boys in the stock yard
districts of our large cities are further
advanced in education in this line, for
they consider it rare amusement tc
torment the live stock before they are
unloaded from the stock cars. One
method is to poke them with red-hot
irons until the animals give vent to
the most piteous outcries.
The barbarous custom of college
hazing is another manifestation of
this same spirit of cruelty. which.
when implanted early enough in the
child's mind and then carefully fos-
tered and cultivated, will invariably
in due time produce a bountiful har-
vest of undesirable fruits in various
shocking manifestations OF human
cruelty.

The microbe of hurry, hurry, use

go to make up the pace that kills. ;"
