TUESDAY. pEoENBER IF, 1905.
HERE'S A NICE ROW.

The most ancient and honorable mu- ntcipality of Boston (pronounce Il Ross-town. piease). is on its ear, meta phoricaIiy, over the desecrating sug- gestion of Secretary Bonaparte that inc old frigate Constitution be lowed out into the wide ocean and be used as a target for our modern upstart warships to practice on. The old ves- gel Is now in the Charlestown dock, and we shall expect the Massachusetts minute men to be ordered out. armed with fiint-lock muskets. to protect the sacred hull from the iconclasts. ; It is true that the vessel is some what like the old fellows one-bladed pocket knife that we heard of. He lost the blade and had another put in but claimed that 1t was the same knife. Then he somehow lost the handle and had another put on and still insisted that 1t was the same knife. Then some one found the lost blade and handle. put them together and wanted to know what knife that was?
 So of the Constitution. She was built in Boston in 17s7, out of New England Timber. we've no doubt. and hence Boston claims her as her own. Under Hull and Bainbridge she made n glorious record for our infant navy ana naval commanders. After the war of isI2, she became somewhat obsolete but was not forgotten. As long ago as 1880, the Secretary of the Navy re- commended that the ship be disman- tied and sold. This raised a storm of indignant protest throughout the coun- try. and Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote one of his most famous poems, old Ironsides" on the occasion, in which occurs the words:
 Nail to the mast her holy flag.
 Set every threadbare sail.
 And give her to the god of storms,
 The lightning and the gale!
 That was the disposition the New EngIanders preferred to make of her. rather than see her madc merchandise of, and the sentiment was so strong that the Secretarys plan was aban- doned Afterwards she was used as a school ship and as training ship, and in 1897, was sent to Boston and we believe has remained there ever since. The sentiment against her destruction is almost as strong now as it was three-quarters of a century ago. True. as we have intimated. there is very little of the old original vessel left. She has been repaired. refitted. re- modelled and re furnished so often and i'd so many particulars that there is little of the old frigate now, but, as Tom Moore said:
 You may break. you: may shatter the
 vase if you will,
 But the scent of the roses will hang
 round 1t still.
 So 1t is with the old ship. It mat ters little how many changes have been made. the echoes of the feet of long dead heroes, and the romance of her glorious deeds still cling to the vessel and we can hardly blame Bos- ton for her indignant protests against such proposed desecration as Bona partc suggests. Better let Boston keep her as long as a plank will float or q timber hold to another.

The Wall Street Journal. New York thinks if there is any one thing more than another in this country that would make for social and political revolution, it would be the feeling that there is one law for the rich and an- other for the poor" There is more of the same nature. but if the records of the courts are not enough to con- vince The Journal that the condition it apparently dreads has already arr rived we don't know what kind of evil dence 1t would require. Certainly the verdicts of juries and the sentences of courts in some recent cases ought to be enough to bring conviction to any mind that is open to proof.

Love wanes at the Pump.

You can always tell a young husband from an old one by the way he acts when he goes after bucket of water. Three months married, he swings the pump handle, whistles and casts covert glances at the house as though some- ono were looking at him from the win dow. One year married, he swings the pump handle more slowly, smiles occa- sionally and seems to be annoyed be- cause the meal is late. Two years mar ried, he looks sour and glum, kicks the cat over the coa1house and looks at the house as though he would like to choke somebody. Three years married. he sits on the doorstep and smokes while his wife works the pump handle.

Weddings ana FuneraI.

AtcnlSon, Kan, Globe.
 There Is mighty little difference be- tween a wedding and funeral At a Wedding the relations walk slowly down the aisle, followed by the bridal couple and a string of attendants. At a funeral the relations enter the church slowly, followed by the coffin and naII- bearers bearers At a wedding the real reIa- church and the in-law relations sit on tnfeo the other; nnn:. The kin of the remaining a funeral The organ rolls out the same an deep music and the .odor of How CTS Is as heavy at a wedding as at a funeral, After the church services are oveT the bridal, couple and attendants leave the church first, followed by the relatives, and at funeral the coffin ana palloearers are given precedence of the church and relatives in leaving the church. The same hacks stand at the door and the processions In both cases pass slowly out of sight. After every thing is over the relatives get together ana talk things over very much the same in both instances. There are some tears. some criticisms some complaints closed

What State Papers Are saying
Why They Have Gone West.

Birmingham Ledger.
 The tide of population has swept over the West but has avoided the South, because the negro has for an hundred years Gone the labor of the South The European immigrant shuns the estate and scovets the small farm. He does not want to be in a land where there are landlords. He comes to America to get away from that. They want to be where the population Is largely small farmers owning their land and welcoming the newcomer with the same ambition to own land. They are willing to be tenant farmers, but not willing to be hired men, ex- cept for short terms. Until they are taught that a man can buy land here and be a, respectable citizen we never will get the immigrants we want. It Is idle to expect the Swede, the Nor wegian, or the German to come as per- manent renters of other mems land.

Speaking of the refusal of the Gov ernor of Vermont to interfere in the case of Mrs. Rogers. who was hanged last Friday, tho Portland (Me.) Ex- press hopes that the shock which the decision of Governor Bell gives to the public will be such as to operate to abolish the death penalty in every American State." Whether 1t will have any such effect is more than doubtful. we should say, but certainly the hanging of a woman has caused much comment throughout the entire coun- try. Equal and exact justice requires that there shall be no partiality shown in the enforcement of the law, but there is something revolting to hu- manity in the spectacle of woman being publicly hanged in this advanced age. whatever we may think of its justice.

Huntsville Tribune.
 Hon. B. B. Conner don't fail to study those methods most calculated to keep himself before the dear people. In every effort, every grand-stand per formance, it is his main play to en- deavor to persuade men who never paid freight bill in their lives that will continue so to do unless they again elect him. He has fooled them once and this encourages him.

strained and 70 some extent prevented from doing wrong but the disposition remains in them. They may be punish ed for violations of law but that does not make them good at heart. In the words of Comptroller Eckels;
 It is only through high minded and unselfish patriotism, individual integ- rity, uncomr rcmising honesty and the termed a virtuous self-respect that the American people can continue to be a great people and their Government a beneficial agency in the uplifting of mankind; and these things never vet have. snor never will find, their birth In the mere "be 1t enacted" of a legis- fatfve body.
 Legislatures. State and National. are loaded down with bills intended to make people good. For the most part they are waste of time. Every State as we'll as the National Goverpment is burdened with laws which cannot be enforced and in many cases no effort is made to enforce them. The effort to legislate goodness into humanity must always be a failure. As Mir. Eckels reasons the clements of goodness are in the man and the woman, and laws can- not put them there If they are lack ing. It may repress evil but cannot instlll goodness.
