THE CITIZENS RESPONSIBLE.


1t is hard to understand how such q
corrupt and rotten state of affairs as is
said to prevail in New Orleans can OK
list in an enlightened and civilized com
munity.-Guardian Journal.
1t is as easy to understand as it is
to rell off log. The system which has
promoted graft is traceable to the fail
ure of the citizens-the better element
in the discharge of their civic duty, to
which New Orleans is no exception
When the spirit of greed and selhslness
dominates in politics, graft and graft
ing follows as sequence. All power
is vested in the people who can, if they
will, compel reforms suggested by a
sense of fairness and common decency,
but the CRATER and the grated thrive
and glorify in their rascality when the
citizens, through self-interest, or the ap-
prelcnsion of loss of trade, Or dis
inclination to incur the displeasure of
the thieves, fail in their duty. The evil
influence of magistrates, of officers Of
the law and of men in office for graft
ing. who concert directly Or passively
with criminals, would be neutralized, if
not eradicated, if honest efforts were
recognized and appreciated in the pro-
portion that grating is considered legit
innate until the CRATER or grated is
caught and hoisted by his own petart..

ON BRITISH SHIPS.
The Life of the Seaman Is IInrd1y y
Worth the Living.

Worth the Living.
Among the many matters that are
troubling Englishmcn is the practical
disappearance Of the native British sea-
man and the increase of foreign sail
ors on British ships. percival Gibbon
throws some light on the cause. He
says: "The life is not worth living
The whole truth of the affair is in thai
fact. The rates at which cargo must
be carried require that the mere food
eaten shall be of the lowest and cheap
est quality. The board of trade regu-
lates the quantity and insures certain
variety, but Il speak from experience,
this avails nothing to make the fare Or
dinarily palatable. Its staple is bis
cult, salt beef and salt pork. Meals
are eaten in the forecastle, where ia
bic or bench is a rarity, and the men
must find their own plates, knives,
forks and other equipment. The ship
gives only the food and the bare bunks
The wage of sailor is always small
Taking recent years, think a fair
average of the monthly wages from
home ports would be $40 1t means
that no sailor can bring up family
or keep wife, and it certainly means
that no man can hope to save enough
to insure some provision for his old
age. AS a matter of fact, I never met
a seaman who attempted to. The mon
ey goes as soon as it is received in
establishing as sharp a contrast as pos
sibie with the aching discomfort and
barrenncsS of life at sea. The man has
no appetite for deiicacics When his
term of bitter hardship is at an end he
Graves for the strong meats Of ruinous
dissipation, and, the money gone, he
has no option but to ship again as soon
as possible and earn some moro.
''In 1896 shipped in Philadelphia as
able seaman aboard a wooden full
rugged ship. bound round the Horn for
San Francisco There were seven able
seamen besides myself, four ordinary
seamen and boy. We had fearful
passage of 17G days, during which we
lost four A. BIS and the boy. During
thirty days off the Horn all hands We're

Of water and food, when we loosed
the halyartls in Sacramento bay we
were too done up to lower away and
let the yards come crashing down Oh
to the caps. It was about as hard
passage as ships company ever ex-
perienced
Next day we were paid off. My
wages were sl2, and were the best Of
those received by the able seamen.
The ordinary sea1nen drew under $40.

MIND AFFECTED BY STUDY
Young Man Suffers Mental AberFa-
ton and IL Lost for Three
Days.

Walter C. Botsford OF Etna, Ia, who,
suffering from mental alteration. had been
lost for three days, was found on the street
OF Omaha Thursday morning by his father.
c. L. Botsford, who. with a soldier from
Fort Crook, had been making a systematic
search for his son. The father had Just APP
piled TO the police for aid in locating his
son, but found him before the police had
time to go to work. The young man did
not realize he was lost when his father
found him, giving evidence he still was un-
balanced.
Young Botsford was last seen at the Fort
Crook Missouri Pacific station Monday aft
ernoon about the time of the 4:27 Omaha
train was due. Whether the young man
boarded the Omaha train is not positively
known, but the supposition Is he did and
came TO Omaha,
Walter c. Botsford is 8 years of age, a
graduate OF the Iowa State university and
an officer OF the Iowa Volunteer reserve.
November / he went to Fort Crook to at
tend the garrison officers school, as pro-
vided by recent act OF congress. II is re-
ported he acted strangely at times at the
fort appearing mOrose and respondent.

PLACE FOR CONSERVATIVES
Provision at County Hospital VIII BE
Decided ON by Board of
Commissioners.

The members of the Board of County
Commissioners will visit the county hos
pital in a body Friday morning. The spe-
cial purpose of the visit is to decide on
what steps can or may be taken to give
better quarters to the consumptive patients
at the hospital. The commissioners realize
that when persons apply to the county for
admission to the hospital at the poor farm
they are generally so far advanced in the
disease that permanent relief cannot be
afforded. Still the commissioners are will
ing to make any arrangement possible to
give the medical fraternity an opportunity
to put into effect the newest and best de-
velopments along the line of curtailing or
stamping out the white pFague.
A committee of the Omaha Medical So
ciety has made proposition to the board
for the erection OF tents, not only for the
county charges afflicted with tuberculosis,
but also for people similarly afflicted who
may be able to pay. In the latter case the
patients would erect their own tents and
pay for their own diet kitchen, the tents
and kitchen to be erected on part of the
county farm set aside for the purpose.
Another plan that has been under con-
sideration by the commissioners is to en-
close in a proper manner a large veranda
on the west side of the hospital building,
where the charity patients can be isolated
from all the other inmates OF the institu-
ton. Plans already have been drawn for
this isolation ward.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9-The general mis-
slonary committee OF the Methodist EpiscO-
pal church, now In session in Brooklyn,
spent the day in considering domestic mis-
sions. Preliminary to making the detailed
appropriations there was a series of ad-
dresses outlining the changing conditions
in various parts OF the country which have
a bearing on increased opportunity for
missionary work, DR.. George B. Smyth
of San Francisco pleaded for a larger work
among the immigrants in general Bishop
John w. Hamilton of San Francisco spoke
on conditions in the great cities, especially
as shown by the recent elections. Bishop
David Moore Of Portland. Ore. told of the
rapid increase in population in the newer
settlements of the Pacific northwest Bishop
Henry w. Warren OF Denver spoke for
Minnesota and the Dakotas. Representa-
tives from other sections spoke.
A total OF $4,000 was set aside during the
afternoon for Welsh, Swedish, Norwegian
and Danish work.
