It is hard to do good justly and ju- diciously in this complicated world. Property owners in the neighborhood of the Brooklyn Navy Yard complain that the Y. M. e. A. "canteen," at which are sold to enlisted men stationery, wis iting cards, fountain pens, soaps, toilet articles, shaving mugs and general out fits, tooth brushes, powder hair brush es, toilet articles, souvenir postal cards, albums, Turkish towels, handkerchiefs, Boston Garters, President suspenders, key rings, leather watch chains, cuff and sleeve holders, collar buttons, pat tent buttons, knives, pens, pencils, blot ters, cigars, pipes, tobacco and many and varied other articles, injures trade among the small stores in that locality to a serious extent. Rents and taxes have gone up since Helen Gould put up the building, and though property has increased in value, the owners are not much elated. It is claimed that some small dealers have been put out of business.

ENCOURAGING

Testimony accumulates that the elec- tion in Connecticut was carried on pret- ty decently. There was certainly no open buying of votes. Sidney +. Clarke, chairman of the Democratic town com mittee in Hartford, says that he did not see or hear of a vote being bought in the old-fashioned way. He goes on to say that votes were Undoubtedly bargained for before election day, and delivered from a far-away place to the agent or agents in charge at the polls, and the payment for the same was made in this far-away place." He also calls attention to the fact that through the provision of the law which permits the employment of an unlimited num- Der of workers the actual purchase of votes on a large scale is made possible, and that 1t was practiced. He says that the money expended by him as chairman, including arally and all can- wasting done by him individually, was less than $2,7o0, and adds: But in my opinion that is far in excess of what an election conducted as the last one was conducted should cost"
 Elections cost too much in this State, and the candidates pay too much. But there has been a great improvement in some of the election proceedings, and the indications are that there will be more. So we can all feel encouraged.

General von Pitreich, who will take the place of Count Beck at the head of the general staff of Austria, is the sec ond war minister on whom this honor has been conferred. The first was Gen. eral von John, who is remembered in Austrian military circles because of the remark which he made at a meeting of the equipment board. He said: T cannot be successful with one pair of trousers" The question under discus sion was whether the enlisted men should be supplied with one or two pairs, and he won for the greater num- Der by his short speech.

The Indian problem isn't yet com pleteiy solved. In connection with the scheme to allot lands to the Cherokees, D. w. c. Duncan, a graduate of Dart mouth college, and full-blooded Cher okee, says that he is unable to get a living from the sixty acres which the government has allowed him to retain out of his original hree-hundred-acre farm. He adds that his brethren will fight the allotment scheme to the death. Senator Teller, commenting on the sit uation, says: "The Indian has been hurt more by his misguided friends than by his avowed enemies. I believe that the Indian Rights association has been of immeasurable injury to the Ameri- can Indian. Pauperism seems to await all of them"
