As the days pass the marvel Of San Fran

wrecked by an earthquake and almost to-
tally destroyed by fire. Four-ffths of the
Inhabitants were rendered homeless within
a few hours. The entire business organiza-
ton OF the community wiped out of
existence. Trade was impossible because
there were no goods to sell and the people
had no money to buy them. A situation
such as this was never presented before in
the history of civilization. The devastation
was complete. paraiyzing.

country was meanwhile amassing fortune

A JOLLY OLD SOUL Is HE.

Old King Coal is jolly old soul.
And jolly old soul Is he
He does he likes and he orders up strikes
With an irresponsible glee.
He makes folks at George r. Baer
And ne keeps John Mitchell warm
As he blithely sits in the anthracite pits
And laughs at the coming storm.
Old King Coal is canny old soul
As he gathers his precious sacks,
And being a ezar. when he calls for war
The peasantry pay the tax.
He is full of jokes he smokes and smokes =
From his pipe with It's jst-black bowl,
And he plays his fiddle, Both ends and tbs
middle
Are lucky for old King Coal"
Old King Coal Is q caiious old soul,
Whose mortgage covers the land.
The poor men shake and the rich men quake
At the clutch of his smutty hand.
He's nendsshiy gay-but beware the day
When old King Coal Is yexed!
Though he may lie low. We never quite know
Where he's going to hit us next.

Boards and Railroad Tickets.

Does man sacrifice his right to hirsute
freedom when he buys a Communication
ticket. This grave question is agitating the
residents of Wilmington and Philadelphia
who ride on a certain railroad between those
cities. One OF the requirements Of the cor
poration is that the ticket issued to a COM
muter must never be used by another per-
son. and to insure observance of this rule
photographs of the purchasers are appended
to their tickets to enable the conductors to
Identify them. Lately several Of the com
muters have INDUCED themselves to the ex-
tent of shaving mustaches and boards. which
they have worn during the cold weather.
The conductors were shocked. They re-
fused to take the tickets when offered. The
commuters threatened court proceedings.
The tickets were accepted and the matter
was reported to headquarters. The corpora
ton sat I'D nights wrestling with the prob
lem. A compromise was decided upon. The
commuters who had thus transgressed were
permitted to use the tickets provided new
photographs were supplied the conductors,
but they were warned not to offend again.
At last reports this commuters were break
ing for the photograph galleries and the
conductors were trying to readjust their
memories.
The usual railroad ticket is "non-trans-
ferable'' contract If the principle which
obtains in the Philadelphia-W ilnington sit
uation is applied to all the operations of the
railroads a merry state of case will result.
Can man not shave his beard when he de-
sires2 He is willing to take chances with
his family. His wife has no legal right to
refuse him adnittance to his house If he has
the nerve to present himself with beardless
face after years OF chin-covering. It would
seem that the burden of proof is on the
railroad company to prove that Jones Is not
Jones when d smooth-faced man offers a
ticket issued in the name of a Jones who
wore a full beard when the transaction was
consummated Would the courts, In an ap-
peal to them. uphold the right of a man to
decorate his face as he sees fit, or would 1t
rule that he must bow to the dictates of cor
porate requirements and stick to the coun-
tenance he wears when he buys his ticket9

Free Seeds.
Says the New York Tribune.

1.-The Hon. John Wesley Gaines and his
fellow free-seeders in Congress have EVIL
IDENTIFY taken for their motto: Let me dis
tribute the seeds of the country and I care
not who makes the laws "
This Is an undeserved thrust. Mr. Gaines
and his friends are not sentimentalists. or
bueolic philanthroptsts, but practical poll
ticians taking a clear look ahead. They
do care who make the laws, and have dis
covered how close the connection Is be-
tween free seeds and votes at the polls.
Let them continue to distribute the seeds
of the country, and they'll have no anxiety
about who will continue to make its laws.
Their distinction Is in making sentiment
play so important part in practical affairs.
Free seeds. free men; free men. good repre-
sentatives; good representatives. good laws.
It is an argument and system to beat the
band

Booms and Favorite Sons.

Prior to the meeting of the Indiana re-
publican convention gossip had it that q
resolution would be passed iudorsing Mr.
Fairbanks for the presidency. 1t did not
inaterialze. Prior 20 the meeting of the
Kansas republican convention gossip had II
that a resolution would be passed Endorsing
General Funston for the presidency. mat
did not materiallze. Likewise there has
been some talk of an Endorsement OF Mi.
Foraker for the presidency by the Ohio re-
publican convention. \ special to The Star
from Columbus puts an end TO that No
such purpose is held.
The republican booms are all IN the hands
Of experienced men, and what are called
breaks are not to be expected from such
management. Not only is the national con-
vention two years distant. but the selection
OF a new House of Representatives. and a
number OF state elections this year and next,
VIII intervene. The general situation there
fore is at this time nebulous. Many things
may happen. Some things now confidently
expected may not happen Men now in local
control here and there may by that time be
in eclipse. Other men elsewhere. not SO
strong now. may by that time have their
bailiwicks in a sling. Why rush in formally
before the lines are DRAWN Why waste
ammunition before the game rises?
Meanwhile the public will be as free as
before to discuss men and their prospects.
The republican field is one of the best that
party has ever presented. As respects age,
ability, experience. character and locality,
the men who figure the most prominently
in the speculations are all of frst-rate con-
sequence There is not one who would be
at loss In the White House. or a stranger
to the responsible political leaders of the
country. They have assisted In making
history. and so are familiar with the pro-
cess. And 1t is probably safe to assume
that there is not one who would not greatly
enjoy the work of the presidency, arduous
as It Is, and at times thankless.
A home Endorsement at this time would
strengthen nobody. Men who are now in
office have a sufficient Endorsement in their
commission as to their party standing at
home. And we may easily believe that In
Diana would go republican with Mr.. Fair
banks the candidate. Ohio republican
with either Mr.. Foraker or Judge Taft as
the candidate, Illinois republican with Mr.
Cannon as the candidate, or Wisconsin re-
publican with Mr. Spooner as the candi-
