A prominent English statesman who
visited this country a few years ago
was talking with friends about the Ma

gave it as his opinion that the western

citizens of the United States.
"Why," said the Briton in explana-

" visits the States for purposes Of
sport tells me that he a entranced

prietor of Il hotel in Nebraska when he
asked if there We're any quail in the

One of them has been identified as j.

having opened the wrong window on
the seventh floor, she was driven to

j. E. Wolfe. SO years old, travelling
representative for q New York firm,
met q horrible death. He was burned
in his room, and the condition Of the

the flames until the last. All the
clothing had been torn from the bed
and It was apparent that the man had
sought to smother the flames which
eventually consumed him.
BOHEMIAN, Jan. 10.-This community

Clinic B. Lamme persisted in the West

Telegraph operators always have per-

they use two Of their initials or take

'JB" as his sign. In many cases, how

greatness that we have not yet beheld
the colossal proportions Of his mind
and soul. Thomas Carlyle, with his in
sight into the heroic aud spiritual quail
tiles Of men, has referred to Franklin |

to say that the future, with its larger !
vision and appreciation. will agree with
Carlyle's estimate.
Franklin vas the modern Socrates.
The parallel between these two great
characters is almost startling. Let US
not imagine that the American philoso-
pher is dwarfed by comparison with
the Athenian. We are apt to magnify
the distant prophet and neglect the one
near by. When the world has 1000 or
1000 years Of intervening distance
across which to contemplate the practt-
cal discoverer Of electricity, writer Of
proverbs and friend of liberty, it may
be able to measure his true proportions.
Solomon and Marcus Aurelius, who
also were characters made in much the
same mold as Socrates and Franklin,
IL tested by service to after ages, are
no more entitled to our consideration
than this plain Philadelphia philoso-
pher. Yet theirs are names mighty In
the ages. What right have we to con-
| clude that the name Of Franklin will
not be alike mighty in the happier days

Opposed To Philippine Tariff Blu

1t was followed by several others
against the measure, most notable of
which vas q two.hour address by the
veteran statesman, MIR. Keller TO-. J,
N ex.speaker who returns to the
house after q retirement of 20 years.
Mr.. Keller bespoke a "stand pat"

He said he would oppose the pending

tention, and liberal applause from
both sides Of the chamber.
Opposition to the bill was made in
q Commute speech by Mr.. Dixon Of
Montana. His assertion that repub.

democratic doctrine of free trade
brought q protest from NJ. Macon OF
Arkansas, who saidi the democratic
party did not stand for free trade.
