Gov. Folk of Missouri has granted a
stay of execution in the case of Mrs.
Myers who is under sentence of death
for killing her husband, and mean while
the women of Missouri are circulating
petitions in her behalf. All this trouble
and expense would have been saved had
the court fined Mrs. Myers $40 and costs.

The wheat yield for the present sea-
son in New South Wales and Queens
land is officially estimated at 20, 500, 900
and 1,250,000 bushels, respectively,
writes Consul Golding, from Newcastle.
In the former this yield is an average
of II bushels to the acre, and ranks
next to the 27,000,000 bushel crop of
1904. In Queensland the crop is only
half of last years.

President Roosevelt's contradiction
of the story that an extravagant menu

that in his opinion high living and high

Dan Lamont was a reporter at Albany
on very small salary when Grover
Cleveland took him up and made him
his private secretary. Lamont went
along with him to Washington, stuck
by him Loyalty, served as secretary Of
war in the second Cleveland admins
tration, and then went to Wall street
under the patronage of William C.
Whitney. He died not long ago and
his estate is now found to be worth five
millions of dollars. Lamont had great
shrewdness, rare tact, and capacity
for executive work, but he would have
earned very much less and probably
have lived longer if he had not had
great opportunities.
San Francisco still needs assistance
and the secretary of the treasury will
deposit $l2, ,000. 900 in the banks of the
city, with municipal bonds for security,
and the understanding is that the de-
posits will not be withdrawn for a long
period. On the principle that half a
loaf is better than no loaf at all, the
San Franciscans are satisfied with this
arrangement, although their original
request to the government was for a
loan of $40, 900, 900 at a low rate of in
terest. The rebuilding of the city will
require enormous sums of moEey, and
as there are still 10000 homeless citi.
zens within the municipal boundaries,
the demand for money and the necessi-
ties of life is pressing. The people Of
the stricken city have accomplished
marvels in the way Of reorganization,
and they are entitled to every assist
ance that can be rendered.

1.-The vice president has views and the
country ought to know what they are.
Mr.. Fairbanks believes that vice presi-
dents ought to be nominated for presi-
dent at the first opportunity, and that
everybody ought to vote the ticket. He
will have views on other subjects later,
but this is enough for the present.
It seems that the wave of moral feel
ing which manifested itself in congress
on the opening of the last session by the
introduction Of dozen or more bills to
forbid campaign contributions and cor
rect other corrupt practices in elections,
spent it's force. The Belmont Publicity
bill went by the board, and Senator Till
mans bill to restrain political commit
tees from "frying fat" out of the cor
porations sleeps in the pigeonholes of
a house committee.
The resolution of congress, signed by
the president, and speaking for the
people of the United States, expressing
horror at the massacres in Russia,
ought to open the eyes of the authori-
ties there to the way they are turning
the worlds opinion against a govern
ment sorely in need of the moral sup
port of it's contemporaries. But it is
not likely the lesson will be needed
the time for taking advantage of les
sons is already past with Russia.
The assessor in Lincoln, Neb., who
fixes William Jennings Bryan's taxable
property at ,225. besides $4,000 in
government bonds, which are not tax
able, is evidently Republican who is
trying to injure Mr.. Bryan's political
prospects by enrolling him with the
plutocratic class. AS MIR. Bryan paid
taxes ten years ago on $3.50, he has
been doing much better financially than
the men who have succeeded in presi-
Dental elections if it be true, as their
friends generally complain, that they
cannot live on the salary with a furnish
ed house and a few incidentals thrown in.
The Tillman-Bailey outbreak in the

Former Senator James K. Jones, of

From Berlin the remark is heard that
President Roosevelt is a gutter, having

BY coming a little nearer the scene of

get later returns from the railroads
and packers.

According to the narrator. a genuine

he stepped on the foot of very pretty
woman. of course, the woman expected
the colonel to apologize, just Us did
everybody else who heard her give a
mouselike squeal when the colonel's foot
came down.
And she looked as though she expected
an apology, but the colonel divining hen
thought, dotted his hat and said: No,
madam, m not going to apologize. When
the good Lord was so gracious as to
make women so beautiful and charming
and with such wonderfully small feet

The compliment was too graceful for
the woman to resist, and all that fol,
lowed was a smiling acknowledgment OF
the colonel's gallant speech.

Among this class the symptoms of
