Diplomatic Snobbery.

Congressman Shirley, of Kentucky,
recently made spirited attack upon
the snobbish spirit exhibited by some
of our representatives in diplomatic
circles. When Whitelaw Reid, as our
ambassador to Great Britain, pays
$4,000 yearly rent for the house in
which to live, he puts himself in the
position of representing, not the PEG
pie of the United States, but the few
millionaires who, the chances are
stole, to speak plainly rather than 20
litely. the money which they haunt
at Newport, Saratoga or in foreign
capitals.
Such an ostentatious outlay adds
nothing to the respect which other
nat ons feel for this republic On the
contrary, it detracts from it. When
the three Adamses-father, son and
grandson; when Motley, f. J. Phelps
and John Hay represented us at the
court of ST. James, there was states
manship, literary culture and bust
ness ability that honored our nation
in the honor deserved and received
abroad. The emoluments of the DIP
lomatic posts do not admit of such
vast OUTLAWS and this snob5ery coull
,as 'ly be destroyed by appointing 4
these positions only men of moderate
means.-South Bend Times.

Press Bureaus and Country Papers.

The country newspaper is power
ful influence for good in politics and
in everything. Yet sometimes we feel
that many of the country editors fail
to place the proper estimate on tbs
value of their newspapers in all ques
tons affecting the public veal. Too
many OF them are careless in protect
ing the individuality if not the in
tegrity of their editorial columns. Syn
dictate editorials, most of them par
tisan press bureau productions, are
weakening the influence of the coun
try paers. The unfortunate practice
many of the country editors have
fallen into of permitting some pers IN
far away to do their thinking for the n
slowly but surely is sapping the vi al
ity of these sheets. We speak feel
ingly on this subject, as we have
spoken many times before for the
menace is present and the results in
evitable. The so-called press bu
reaus" are killing the country news
papers by destroying their individual
ity." Once individuality is gone nc
excuse remains for the existence o.
the country press.-Washington

Slavery in Missouri.

Slavery has been abolished ;hrou yn
out the civilized world, but it has re-
m aimed for a Democratic paper print
ed at Potosi, Mo-, to favor its revival
as a matter of business expediency
This unique publication says: 1T is
now claimed that the system of peon
age practiced by the farmers of New
Madrid county is necessary to the
business interests of that section;
that without modified slavery there
can be no money made by capitalists
in that section, and that it is there
fore necessary to coerce the negro
notwithstanding the provisions of the
constitution against slavery" Wha
is the constitution between Missouri
Bourbons? The capitalists of New
Madrid can't make a profit without
slavery, so they simply re-establish
tn epeculiar institution. What coul !
be easier, until Uncle Sam takes
them by the scruff of the neck?-St
Louis Globe Democrat.

Coburn's Mistake.

Hon. F. d. Coburn, the Kansas sec
rotary of agriculture, was rendered
the appointment of the position OF
United States senator, TO succeed
senator Joseph H. Burton, but Mr.
Coburn refused it. In his refusal he
went out of his way to say that h.
did not want to associate with such
disgraceful body of men as the U
S. senators-or words TO that effect
We honor Mr. Coburn as one of the
ablest agricuiturists of America, but
he would have shown be ter taste an
deeper patriotism if in declining the
appointment, he had not sought to
dishonor the highest branch of our
lat;onal government next 10 the pre-
idency.
The United States senate is wha
the country makes it. Today i. co
tains few men who are not worth,
Of seat in such digniied and hon
orable position, but for any Ameri
can to declare that he considers /;
seat in the United S.a es senate un
worthy of himself, is unpatrotic a,
grossly egotistic.

A Schoolboy's Complaint.

sons ought to be assauged by cuttin :
off as much noise as possible is tn
sneaking consciousness of good citi

stability treated when the America
colonists revolted from England Thi

table chapters in our his DRY. Ha

deliberations until autumn the Ameri
can boy to all generations would ma
been provided with a real holiday
that is a day in term time when
school does not keep and there is
something interesting to do outside
Instead of that Jefferson and the
others put out their notable document
at a season when the schools are
closed anyhow The boys thus d,
frauded are entitled to little mer;
license in their efforts to make hi

Trust That Strikes Home.

The American Farm Products con
pany is the name of the latest trust
to be foisted upon the American p ID
lie. This company has been estab

absolute control of all dairy p oduct:
chickens and eggs. The new trust
which will deal blow at every fam

Consecutive years, which is the rec

A prominent farmer in a Northern
Indiana county committed suicide one
day this week because he was afflicted
with a disease for which no cure has
yet been found. Suicide is always a
shocking thing and greatly to be
deplored, but special charity must be
exercised in Judging a case of this
kind. The man endured intense SUI
ferlng, no doubt; he knew that the
PAIN would be more, not less, and
that the progress to inevitable death
might be one of long-continued tor
ture. He may have felt that the ma
ner of the end mattered mo to hi n
self and that in removing himself he
rightfully saved his family from the
prolonged contemplation Of his suf
ferings
His point of view is not hard to
find, anu no man can say what he
himself might do under like circum
stances, yet the fact remains that the
normal human instinct revolts at sui
eide, whatever its excuse There is
a deep conviction in every heart thai
man should play the game to the end
whatever it may cost him; that he
is lacking in courage, in maniiness
and in his duty to the world and to
himself when he takes his own lie
1t is not exclusively his life, in a
very real sense it belongs to others
though he may have neither kth O.
kin.
But when he kills himself he sets
an example that some other despon,
dent soul may follow; he lessens the
strength of some other one to resist
temptation. This other may be. less
seriously afflicted than he, may. ir
fact. have an imaginary rather thai
a real burden, but if each individual
has the right to judge what he ca
endure from life, where shall the be
ginning or the end be? Those who
locked on might have been ha -rowec
by that farmers sufferings hal h.
fingered TO the natural parting wi !
he body, but, on the other hand, the,
might also have been inspi ell by hi
fortitude had he borne his agony
ravely 10 the end and have been tn.

Angry Mob Burns Negro.

A regso who made an attack upo |

crtson near Womack, Indian Terri
DRY, was captured asst Saturday night
ard after beng taken back was hang
ed and burned rear the spot where he
committed the crime. He confessed
he decd and offered no resistance to
the mob. To one person the negro
gave his name as Cliff Mays of Mar
lshall, Texas, and he told another that
it was Will Newbright of San An
tonic.
By the time the negro was over
taken near Bradley fully 400 men ha !

the capture the march to Womack
began 1t was nearly 3 o'clock next
morning when the Robertson home
was reached and the negro was
bro ght before his victim
That's the one" said she at once
and the negro replied, "Yes. Lady, I'M
the one. Gentleman, | admit the
crime"
The mob then proceeded with their
victim past the spot where ne had
committed his crime and to tree il
the road on the bank of Walnut crees
where a rope was thrown over limt
about eighteen feet high and the Other
end knotted about the mans neck
He was given an opportunity to spea.
and again he confessed his guilt. AT

giveness he was drawn into the ali
o die by strangulation.
| Before life was extinct the body
was lowered to the ground, then log
and brush were heaped upon it and
the mass ignited. For moment the
body writhed, a few groans were
heard and the flames completed their
work.

Congress Has Adjourned.

and both it and the country are to
be congratulated on the wise legisla

the people.
The three important measures pu
through Congress during the last few
days of its session--the railroad rate
bill, the meat inspection measure, and
the pure food Dill--may not be peri CT

but all three are measures in the in

remedied at the next session. Mean

The Square Deal.

We doubt whether any session OF
Congress was ever more fully devot-
ed in its principal activity to measures
for the correction of abuses and for
enforcing the square deal than that
whi.h has just closed. All the grea.
laws for which this Congress will be
remembered, which we have else
where discussed in detail, have no
ether object than to bring about non
est and equal treatment of the people
Whether they will wholly succeed in
their object may be doubted, for
shrewd and greedy men are most
skillful in finding ways to evade laws
that interfere with their nefarious
practices. But there can be no dob
that they will result in a vast inn
provement over long prevailing con
ditions.
The strange thing is that it should
have been so difficult to get these
remedial measures through Congress
The simple purpose of the railway
rate law is to secure to every patron
of the railways like and equal treat
ment Common carriers should be
common" carriers. No one ever
ventured to dispute that If the rail
ways had done their simple duty-the
duty that private morals and public
obligation alike require, there would
never have been need of law to regu
late and control them. 1t is their
failure to .reat patrons fairly and
equally, it ~ .aeir practice of favor
itism am. discrimination, it is their
violation of the fundamental obiiga-
ton to serve all corners and all pla ,es
on the same terms tina made it neces-
sary for the Government TO interfere
The case is just as plain in regard {
the meat packers and those engaged
in the preparation of other foods
beverages and medicines. Peopl
have right to pure, madultera ed
imprisoned articles. They have a
right to know what they are buying
and that things are what they profess
to be- There can be no argument o.
that score.-Indianapolis News
