Buda-Pesth, Hungary, Feb. FL
The scene of the conflict between the
coalition party and the crown will
now be transferred from Buda-Pesth
to the country districts, where disor-
orders can be expected within week.
The coalition deputies plan to pro-
coed to their various election districts
at the end of this week, assemble
their constituents and protest against
Mondays alleged Illegal dissolution of
parliament. These meetings will be
prevented and broken up by the gov
ernment with the assistance Of gen
darmes on the ground that the crown
cannot and will not tolerate such
criticism of an act on its part which
it considers legal and constitutional.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that the supreme court of
Hungary Tuesday morning handed
down decision in two cases dealing
with contested elections of deputies to
the effect that Mondays dissolution
of parliament was lawful
To Dissolve Political Clubs.
Furthermore the government is de-
termined to dissolve by force if neces
sary all existing political clubs as
soon as such clubs embark upon a
course which the government consid.
ers reasonable.
1t appeared Monday as though the
crown had determined to terminate the
right of free meeting, free press and
even free speech In Hungary whenever
such manifestations reflect on the lie.
gality of the crowns actions. AS
proof of this 1t was ascertained Tues
day from an excellent government
source that the crown is prepared to
suppress newspapers which conduct
propaganda based on criticism of its
actions Monday.
The coalition party is not ignorant
OF the crowns intentions and its mem
pers are discussing the necessity Of
holding secret meetings. The party
rather expects its newspapers to be
suppressed.
Question Of New Election.
The question Of calling new gen.
eral election has not yet been deter
mined upon and will not be decided
until the crown ascertains what oc-
ours in the country districts.
The problem now confronting the
coalition party seems TO be whether
or not It can persuade the people Of
Hungary to sacrifice themselves to q
rreater or less degree for what the
cosfition declares to be the house Of
the country at large.
The liberal party here recognizes

Especial Washington letter.

"HE stand patters continue to
play with fire in immediate
juXtaposition to large powder
mill. In that dangerous situa-
ton they cut fantastic capers before
high heaven. March 1 the new Ger
man tariff goes into effect, and it will
adversely influence every farmer in the
land, yet appeals to stand patters to
do something to remove the evils of the
situation fall on what Senator Bailey
calls "the leaden ears Of the Republic

poses to cure the disease by raising our
>ariS-on the ground, suppose, that
the hair of the dog is good for the bite.
1t is hardly to be concluded by even
the most rampant stand patter that all
the farmers have followed the unfor-
tunate example of SUIT Lavingood's
father by turning "darned fool" and
unless they have something is likely to
happen to the stand patters in Novem-
Der that they will not forget so long as
they live. 'On what meat doth our
stand pat Caesar feed that he hath
grown so great?' On an outrageous
extortion OH the people. They do
not propose to give up one cent of their
largess if they can help it, and they are
determined to hold on, no matter what
happens to their friends in the house
Of representatives. Consequently the
chances are that large number of
Republican representatives will retire
from public life March 4, 1907. 1t may
be fol-. years, and it may be forever.
In fact, all the signs of the times in
dictate that at the next congressional
elections there will be large Demo
cratic gains. perhaps large enough to
give us the house. Furthermore, If we
carry the congressional elections this
year the chances are that we will elect
both a house and a president in 1908

In Suckordom. /.

The Republicans of Illinois are in
the midst of Kilkenny cat fight
which should rejoice the heart Of every
Democrat from Maine to California
and from the st. Lawrence to the Rio
Grande Richard the Second (Yates)
has begun a campaign for the United
States senate which is likely to make
Uncle Shelby NJ. Cullom hump him
self and which may grow so bitter as
to end in the election of Democrat
to succeed Cullom. Yates has blood in
his eye and talks about the Cullom-
Hopkins machine in language which
would not do to print in a young la
dies letter writer. He is in deadly ear
nest and lays on and spares not. He
seems to be no respecter of persons,
but assails Uncle Shelby and other
high and mighty Republican person
ages in the Sucker State in manner
to make them vince. Uncle Shelby
does not relish a stand up, Touchdown
and drag out fight. He is an adept in
whispering and wire pulling. If that's
the game, he will win, but il Yates can
force him into the open youth will
be served. 1t would be great thing
to send q genuine Democrat to Wash
tngton In lieu Of Uncle Shelby.
Stranger things have happened.
In this connection it should be re-
membered that they have a peculiar
plan for electing legislature in Illi-
nois. Each senatorial district elects
three members Of the house. At such
election voter can cast one vote for
each of three candidates, or all three
for one, or two for one and one for an
other, or one and half for each Of
two. So that the minority by skillful
management can always secure its
share Of representation, sometimes
more. So that in this hot contest be-
twixt Cullom and Yates enough bitter
ness may be engendered to enable the
Democrats to control the legislature.

That certainly is a good and valid rea-
son. Truth to tell, one-half of all gov
eminent employees and officers could
make more money out Of Office than in.
IT'S really fortunate that there are 9th
er motives for public service than mere
money getting. = ;
Jetferson's mot was never construed,
by him at least, to apply to munich
pal officers, but the principle holds good
no doubt with reference to them, for to
man who aspires to be constable or
policeman his ambition is as dear as
the ambition to be president OF cabinet
minister is to another. Indeed, the late
General John NJ. Palmer began by run
ming for justice Of the peace, which he
got, and wound up by running for the
presidency, which he did not get.
Therefore 1t is consoling to know that
Congressman Baker of New York re-

In the midst of I'll the subservient
kotowing to all kinds of money, and the
doubts of good men about the wisdom
of offending the very rich men, it is
refreshing to hear a clear voice. Such
is that of Bishop Francis in his an
nual address to the clergy and laity
OF the diocesan convention of the Epis-
copal church held in Indianapolis. The
Bishop declared that it was time to
speak out, and spoke out. Then the
Council Of the Diocese commended and
adopted his words as follows: We de-
clare that it is the business of Chris
tians and Churchmen to be honest be-
fore they are rich; that success gained
by violating the law or by swindling
ones fellows is a base thing; that the
greed for wealth and power which
leads men into these crimes must be
checked; that the Church cannot afford
to allow men to think that her silence,
much less her approval, can be pur-
chased by gifts from them; that I'M
less the Church does take a strong
stand against these sins Of the rich and
powerful she will inevitably lose her
weight and influence, and sink to the
level of the worlds life. Justice to the
sinners as well as to herself demands
that she speak plainly and courageous
ly. 1t is time for judgment to begin
at the House of God.
1t surely is high time that the insane
and wicked worship of money in this
country was properly and generally, re-
buked by those who retain their moral
sense. There is no question how it will
end and perhaps it is even now end
ing.

Woman is naturally so kind and con-

If Sister Haffner has been doing what
Brother Haffner says she has, she has
not been truly considerable. When a
preacher stands up in the pulpit to
preach, the sight of his wife sitting
right in front of him and making faces
at him is calculated to seriously disturb
the flow OF his thought and his words.
Few preachers could stand 1t well, how
ever sure they might be that they We're
pretty near right. We hope that it will
be found that Brother Haffner is mis-
taken, and that his wife only had the
st. Vitus dance, or something that
caused her to make the queer faces.

merit, for she won the gold medal for

shown that she has tried to cook her

a CRIME or coMFORT.

The scientists have got us all pretty
well scared with their facts and theo-
ries, and we arc perhaps entitled to a
crumb of comfort from them. Such a
crumb is tossed us by an Austrian sci
enlist, who is inclined to think that
short-sightedness is not an unmixed
evil He doubts if school work causes
it. With the aid Of a large staff of en-
thusiastic medical helpers the eyes of
more than fifteen thousand school chill
dren were examined, and great mass
of information was collected and
studied. The professor finds that among
the most extreme cases of short sight
hand-workers greatly outnumber the
eye-workers. The majority of these
cases declared that their defective sight
had existed from birth, or as long as
they could remember. He declares that
his Investigations prove that school
work never produces extreme short
sightedness, but only a slight myopia,
which, far from being a disadvantage,
may even be regarded as benefit.
For, he says, persons with normal
sight, although they can see distant OBJ
jects quite clearly, cannot read or write
without the aid of glasses when they
reach the age of fifty, whereas the
slightly short-sighted Individual can al
ways read and write quite comfortably,
and requires glasses only for distant
objects-a much happier state of things.
So far, so good. Let those of us who
are short-sighted feel better until some
other scientist comes along and makes
us feel worse.
