@ even a Superdbunddnee, OF lTn-
IA portant business before con-
gress next winter. First and
foremost III Importance, perhaps, will
be divers investigations into the doings
of the departments. No man in his
senses believes that all the depart
mental officials or anything like a ma
jorify of them are corrupt, but where
there is so much smoke there must be
some fire, and Investigations are in
evitable. The people demand them
and honest officials should welcome
them. There is wave Of morality
sweeping over the country which can
not and ought not to be ignored. In
all the states but thirteen there are
Investigations of one sort and another
on foot, and in most Of them criminal
prosecutions against public officials
have been instituted. The same proc
ess of renovation is going on in many
cities and towns. The hunt for the
CRATER and boodler wakes hotter and
hotter a general cleaning up of things
is at hand
The cotton scandal in the agricul-
tural department causes people to
gasp. Nobody believes that Hon
James Wilson. secretary, is dishonest
or that he would wink at dishonesty in
others. He is freely and universally
accorded great credit for the good
which he has accomplished for the ag-
ricultural interest, which is the largest
Interest in the country. but it is gener-
ally believed that his confidence has
been abused by designing knaves, and,
while there is no demand whatsoever
in Missouri for his resignation or re-
moval, many persons think that a
thorough investigation into his depart
ment would work good and relieve him
Of wicked subordinates who have be-
trayed their trusts.
There is no question but what the
whole Panama canal business needs
an overhauling and ventilation by con-
gress. What is needed down there is
a minimum of talk and a maximum
of work, instead of maximum of talk
and a minimum Of work, as we now
appear to have, At the present rate of
progress babies now in their cradles
viii be grandparents before ship
sails through that canal. The Kansas
City Times Star says that unless meth
DDS are improved 200 years will elapse
before its completion, but then the
K. G. Us. may not unjustly be ac-
cused of pessimism in deferring hope
for two centuries.
A shaking up Of the department Of
justice wouldn't burt anything, also
a thorough look into the postofice and
interior departments.
These, with curing the deficiency,
regulating Interstate commerce and the
ordinary run of business, viii keep
congress busy until the dog star
wakes. The indications are that the
incoming session will be one of the
longest in our history and may make
and mar the fortunes of parties as well
as of Individual members of house
and senate.

A Great Buckeye Democrat.

The ancient saying "A prophet is
not without honor save in his own
country does not seem to apply to
Hon. John II. Patterson, Democratic
nominee for governor of Ohio. Quite
the contrary. 1t is In his home city of
Dayton where he is hell in the highest
honor In addition to being candi-
date for governor he is president of the
American Cash Register company.
Lately AIr. Patterson returned to his
home after a years trip around the
world, during which he was nominal
ed, 'sunbeknownst to himself" as the
witty Irishman who had taken the
the whisky. His fellow citizens, with
out respect to party, hearing Of his
home coming, determined to make it
the event of the season and a red letter
day in his life. Consequently they put
the big pot in the little 9ne, Dayton
donned her holiday attire and declxed
herself out in the American flag in
such gorgeous manner as to make I'm
Gle sam chesty and prepared TO give
royal welcome to her most distin-
guished citizen. A committee Of emil
nent Daytonians met him over at Rich
mond, Ind, and escorted him home.
The whole city turned out to meet him
at the depot and cheering thousands
accompanied him to the shady side Of
the biggest schoolhouse II the city.

General CockrelI.

General Francis Marion Cockrell is
still chief among Missouri Democrats,
who rejoice most heartily at the fine
record he is making as member of
the interstate commerce commission
AS a worker he has never had any su-
perior among the public men of Amer
lea. Like the CheyaIier Bayard, he is
sans peur ct sans reproche. He was for
thirty years an ideal United States
senator, and no doubt when the rec
orIis are made up he will be regarded
as one Of the most useful men ever
on the interstate commerce commits
sion. He would have made a tiptop
presidential candidate, and had he
been nominated at St Louis last year
he would possibly have been elected
and would certainly have received a
million and a half more votes than
did Judge Alton B. Parker. All these
things Missouri Democrats have al
ways known and asserted honestly
and with pride. Here lately even Mis-
souri, Republican papers have come to a
realization of his virtues. Papers which
while he was in the senate undertook
to beiittle him by referring to him as
"Old Garden Sass and like sobriquets
now praise him to the skies. The
ST. Louis Globe Democrat, which for
merly led in the Garden Sass caper.
now leads the chorus of adulation.
Why did this paper not treat him fair
" while he was senator2 The reason
is not far to find. So long as he was
an active candidate for Office they
withheld from him his due need Of
praise for political effect. Now they
think that he is shelved in his present
office; therefore they can afford to tell
the truth about him. A poor sort Of
conduct surely.

Napoleon's Mot.

Napoleon'S MOI
In these hot old summer days several
persons are likely to recall Napoleon.s
mot, China is a sleeping lion; let her
Sleep which is only another evidence
Of the immortal Corsican's mental
grasp on this world and all who dwell
therein. No wonder that his fame IN
creased as the years steal into the cen
turtles. incidentally it may be re-
marked that it's a pity he did not have
an adequate corps of skilled short
hand writer's at ST. Helena to take
down verbatim what this marvellous
man said instead of a set of long,
hand writers to give US only the sub
stance of what he said or what they
thought he said
The fact that now recalls his remark
touching China is that she shows signs
of knowing that she is alive by de-
handing an indemnity of 100000, 900
from the Jans and Russians for the
use of Mancluria as a battlefield and
the destruction of her property She
wants rent, and who can blame her?
She asks to be heard at Portsmouth,
and who has the hardihood to say that
she is wrong3 70 large extent It's
her territory they are talking about
disposing of. The justice of the world
Will conclude that she is not only an
interested party, but the most inter-
ested. That she has plucked up
courage enough. to thus speak out in
her own defense has no doubt sur
prised the rest Of those In interest as
much as the meurners at Athelstane's
wake were surprised when, after three
days of what was supposed to be
death, he suddenly awoke. rubbed his
eyes, arose from his cooling board and
with robust appetite made assault
upon the victuals and yiands prepared
for the guests.
A feeble nation? Not very much.
True. Russia or japan could admins
ter an awful whaling Just now, but
what does that signify? She has about
450,00o00o people Russia does not
have to be told that one way to teach
a man or nation to fight is to keep
on thrashing him or ii, for it was by
being repeatedly trounced by Charles
XII. of Sweden flat Peter the Great
and Russia learned. how to fight, and
at Poltava they took ample revenge
on the Mailman Of the North for all
the beatings and humiliations they re-
ceived at his hands
History has queer way of repeat
ing itself, and it may be that Russia,
Japan and the res. will continue to
kick, cuff, rob and maltreat China till
she really wakes up and pummels
them all within an inch of their lives.
Far stranger things have happened
than in less than fifty years Russia
and Japan viii be fighting as allies to
prevent the Chinese from overrunning
them and gobbling their territory, and
the worlds verdict would be, Served
them right" Everybody may have
cause to recall Napoleon's sage remark
before this young century is old.

Whatever may have been his sins of
omission or commission, Quay was a
man of great force of character and of
almost limitless resources. Penrose
can't run things as did Matthew Stan
ley. He can't WELD the sword of that
great chieftain; consequently such
men as Major Broun dare to resist his
authority. There is hope Of the old
state yet-the state which in the elder
day boosted a Mexican, Mnhlenberg,
a Franklin and a GalIatin.

Republican Revolt In Pennsylvania.
The unexpected news, but neverthe-
less cheering to lovers of good govern
ment and clean politics everywhere,
comes from Pennsylvania that there is
a revolt against Senator and Boss
Boles Penrose and his Republican ma
chine. Hon. Isaac B. Broun, secre-
tary Of internal affairs, has kicked
clear out of the traces and proposes to
lead a revolution He boldly proclaims
that he will s.cut loose from the or
ganization" and fight the machine to
the death. Mr.. Broun says, 'tCondi-
tons exist which warrant every sim
cere Republican in demanding new
deal"
If Major BrOun's conversion Is sim
cere and not mere lust for the loaves
and fishes there may be something do
ing worth while in the Republican
politics Of the keystone State, which
is perhaps the worst ever, The Repub-
lican majorities in that state are so
enormous, even when the returns are
not tempered with, If such thing
ever happens these later days. that Re-
publicanism may there be seen in its
true character
Twice, and only twice, since the close
of the civil war have the people risen
in their might and cast out the Repub-
licans. Both times Robert e, Pattison,
Democrat, was elected governor and
he was elected solely because he was
