Tillman's Lost Eye.

Most people know that Senator
Tillman has lost an eye, but few
are aware how he sustained the
injury. Although his brothers
were old enough to serve in the
confederate army, Benjamin was
schoolboy of Is when the civil
war began. He knew that at 16
he must join the confederate
forces, and his brothers wrote
back from the field entreating
him to get as much education as
possible, because the war might
last SO lorg that he would never
again be able to go to school.
Even at night young Tillman
would continue his studies, fire.
quently carrying lighted pine
knot into the woods and lying
down with his books beside it.
He was a lank, tall, silent boy,
dictatorial and brusque, but a
natural student. The heat Of the
pine torch injured his left eye and
a plunge in cold water brought
on tumor that destroyed it. 1t
was the two years illness follow
ing this mishap that prevented
the youth from serving in arms
against the union.

The Republican state commit
tee, in session Wednesday after
noon. declined to grant the pc
tition sent in by the candidates
for appellate judge to reduce
their campaign assessments.
After arguing the point at
length the committee decided
that the assessments are not ex-
cessive as compared with those
the other candidates are required
to pay, and it was voted to leave
them as originally fixed.
The appellate judges were as
sessed at $4,000 each. An appel
late judgeship carries with it a
salary of $4,000 a year.
Notice was sent the candidates
for this office before the conven-
ton to the effect that if nominal
ed they would have to contribute
$4,000 each toward defraying the
expenses of the campaign. 1t was
maintained by members of the
committee while the petition was
up for consideration that the
judges were nominated with the
understanding that they would
pay this amount.

Hope Springs Eternal.

About one year ago the Lick

effect by joint action of Senate
and House committees. A good
deal has been said from time to
time about the impossibility of
reaching the abuses that have
grown up in the printing office
and some critics have been inclin-
to poke fun at Representative c.
B. Lands for his activity in the
matter under the impression that
his efforts were bound to fail.
But the contrary has proved to
be the case, for it is estimated
that the saving effected will reach
nearly $1,000, 900 year, and a
good start has been made which

Burton Must Go.

The reassuring news comes out
of Washington that the Senate
committee on Privileges and
Elections is determined to recon-
mend the expulsion of Senator
Burton if ne does not promptly
resign. The only man on the
committee who cherishes any
sympathy for Burton is Burrows
of Michigan, but the other sena-
tors are not only anxious to rid
the Senate Of the odium which
further conformation of Burton S
offenses would attach to the Sen
ate, but they also resent with
spirit his efforts to dictate to the
Senate what it should do in the
matter. A very impressive ele-
ment in the situation is the an
nouncement that a profound in
fluence behind the conclusion of
the committee has emanated from
the White House. There is evil
IDENTIFY no limit to the reformatory
forces which the resolute soul of
Theodore Roosevelt has put into
operation throughout every de-
partment and branch of the Fed
eral Government. The election
of Burton is but one of the many
manifestations of the aroused
conscience of the national capital
against Irregularities and unwor-
thy practices of every kind.

No Individual Praise,

Army officers and privates who
played an important part in fight
ing the fire and relieving the
starving and suffering in San
francisco will not be singled out
for special praise by the war de-
partment. 1t is contrary to the
policy of the army to mark a few
men for individual commentator
unless their service be such that
it demands instant recognition.
Gen. Funston and Gen. Gree
ly and their associates were SO
busily engaged at the time of the
California disaster that they had
no time to pay attention to re-
ports of heroic deeds by soldiers
and to make recommendations.
The general praise of the troops
and officers of the army is believ-
ed by the war department to be
preferable to an attempt at indi-
vidual commentator, which
might work injustice to many de-
serving officers and men whose
heroism was unknown to the de-
partment.

Senator McCreary of Kentucky
not only favors the pending bill
amending the immigration law SO
as more effectively to exclude OBJ
jectionable immigrants but he ur-
ges additional regulation with a
view to exclude all who are un-
worthy.
He regards the present increase
in our population from abroad
as undesirable and menacing to
the welfare of those now in the
country and their descendants.
Addressing the senate, he called
attention to the fact that the num-
Der of arrivals during the last
year alone exceeded that of the
arrivals during the 169 years from
the first landing at jamestown to
the declaration of independence.
And he showed that at the pres
ent rate of increase only four gen.
erations would be. necessary TO
bring the population of the coun-
try to the density of that of
China.
These considerations are peril
nent as showing the folly of hold
ing out the inducements to at
tract population from Europe and
the wisdom of adopting, if pos
sible, such impartial measures as
will check the inflow from abroad
and exclude as far as may be all
criminal and detectives and such
as would be likely to lower the
standard of intelligence, morals
and, in word, good citizenship.
This is by no means an easy
thing to do and the doing of it
will demand intelligence, deliber-
alton and freedom from passion
and prejudice. We ought at least
to be able to agree not to hold
out inducements of any kind 9TH
err than those which arise from
good government, good laws and
intolerance of every form and
mode of crime, Incidence or hos
tility to our civilization.-Chicago

A Question of History.

Our statesmen have sometimes
shown most astonishing ignor-
ance of our history. This is al
ways surprising, for these of all
men ought to be familiar with it.
The latest instance of this sort is
that furnished by the speech made
by Senator Dolliver before the
graduates of the Packard Com
mercial school. His tribute to
Bryan does much credit to the
speaker, but he really ought to
have been more careful in wat
he said about the conditions in
which our presidents passed their
early years. All our Presidents,
he said, began life as poor boys.
If" he continued, Bryan had
been elected in the place of Presi-
dent Mckinley he would not have
been any exception to the rule
that all of the Presidents had aris-
en- from poverty, with the excep-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt"
Precisely the contrary is true.
The poor boy Presidents have
been the exceptions. Probably
the only Presidents that really
rose from poverty are Jackson,
Lincoln, Johnson and Garfield.
Others were, of Course, poor, but
as rule they were in much the
same condition as their neighbors
and were simply, even in their
pecuniary state, average boys.
The Washingtons, Adamses, JEFF
Persons, Monroes, Van Burens
and Buchanans belonged to the
aristocratic class almost without
exception. They were not gen
orally rich in their youth, but
they came OK substantial and
prosperous families, that were, as
a rule, above even the middle
class. Even Garfield managed to
get a college education. So of
our own Benjamin Harrison.
Hardships many of them knew,
just as great numbers of our
friends and neighbors now know
hardships. What Senator Dol
liver, we suppose, meant was that
we have not elected to the presi-
dency rich men or the sons of
rich men. That is true.
But when we think of men
coming up from poverty" we
have always had in mind those
who, like Lincoln, were SO des-
perately poor as to be below the
level of even a poor community.
A child that is tenderly cared tor,
that has good books, that gets an
education and sound home train
ing, can not be said to have
known the real sting of poverty.
His family may, indeed, be poor,
but it, nevertheless, is poor along
with the best people in the COM
munity. The truth is that many
of. our Presidents, so far from
having risen from poverty"
really belonged to the gentry
class, sort of aristocracy. This
was true of practically all the
early Presidents. 1t was true of
William Henry Harrison. The
rest, almost without exception,
rose from what was once known
as the yoeman class, which in
cluded some of the sturdiest and
most comfortable people of the
country.
There may, of course, be a diff
ference of opinion as to this or
that man, for people differ great
ly in their ideas of poverty. But
the general statement that our
Presidents did not as rule, come
up from poverty, can not be con-
troverted. indianapolis News.

but to draw his salary and the ferret
will get about FIVE times as much
from the county as the assessor has
been paid.
Since County Assessor Leonard has

$4,000 of taxes not returned by
township assessors have been placed
on the books. This at IS per cent
would have given Mr.. Leonard about
$4,000 more than his salary. There

BEEF PLEA FAILS.
Roosevelt Flatly Refuses to Mod
ify the Meat Inspection Bill.

President Roosevelt is inexor-
able in his determination that
congress shall enact the Bever-
idge meat inspection bill into law
or he will place before the coun-
try the reports upon the packing
industry which have been prepar-
ed by Labor Commissioner Neill
and James B. Reynolds.
The President told Senator
Carter of Montana Monday that
he would very much regret to be
compelled to have to submit to
the American people and the
world at large the results of the
inspection of conditions in the
great packing plants at the Chi
cago stock yards because of the
evil effects which would be sure
to accrue to collateral interests.
The President realizes that
this course would cause inestim-
able loss and suffering to the far
mers and cattle raisers of the
country Notwithstanding that
they are innocent of even remote
participation in the alleged Of
lenses of the packers.
Senator Carter called at the
white house 70 sneak IN behalf M
the cattle raisers of Montana and
other western states. These were
of the opinion that the enactment
of the Beverage bill into law
would curtail their business to
such an extent as to cause them
permanent loss.
The president pointed out to
the senator that while the cattle
raisers and everybody else con-
nected with the beef industry
must look forward to temporary
curtailment. of their business, ow-
ing to the wide publicity that has
been given to the practices of the
packers, that in the end they will
recover all the ground thus lost
and make greater strides toward
the control of the beef markets oil
the world than ever before.
Following are understood to
be the main points in Commits
sioner Neill's report on the Chi
cago packing houses:
/. Insanitary conditions, such
as using wooden floors instead oil
cement or thing.
2. That employees do not main
tain a sufficient degree of person
al cleanliness while handling food
products.
3. That downs" or cattle in
jured in the cars and other infer
ior beeves are sold in Chicago as
prime beef.
4. That employees suffering
from infectious and contagious
diseases are employed in hand
ling the meats and canned prod
uctS.
5. That many of the women in
the canneries and in other depart
ments are not of good moral
character.
