IN TROUBLE.

/ Washington. Jan. 14-SensationaI
! charges against Herbert Fl. D. Peirce.
! United States minister to Norway. who
formerly was third assistant secretary
of state, were made before the house
committee on ways and means today
! by Professor w. II. Elliott Of CleVe-
| land, o.. in connection with n hearing
on resolution for the further protec-
/ ton Of fur seals upon the high seas.
/ Professor Elliott states that while Mr.
Peirce was representing The United
states government before The Hague
I tribunal in The settlement Of claims
growing out of the seizure Of the seal
ing vessel j. Hamilton Lewis by the
Russian government on the charge of
piracy, he represented the owners Of
the vessel, and even instituted action

the District Of Columbia to insure the
payment Of his fee out Of the money
awarded 20 the vessel owners.
Reflects Upon Administration.
Representatives Clark and John
Sharp Williams questioned Mr. Elliott
carefully about the charge, and said
that ii reflected so seriously upon the
administration that it must be looked
into carefully.
The chief purpose Of Professor FL
lott in appearing before the committee
was to have the United States annul
the lease Of the sealing privileges upon
the Prybiloff islands which it has grant
ed to the North American Commercial
company. He stated that the officers
Of the company perjured themselves

in command of Captain McClain. which
Professor Elliott alleges was rightfully
seized by the Russian government
This seizure was i'm 1901, and Mr.. FL
lott made the statement that Mr.
PeirCe's activity in collecting a fee
from the vessels owners vas in 1905.
Promises Were Broken.
Mr. Elliott told the committee that
when he appeared before il two years
ago he was acting as the confidential
agent of Secretary of state Hay. He said
that at that time he had been promised
by Frank NJ Hitchcock Of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, now first
assistant postmaster general, that the
regulation prohibiting pelagic sealing
would he enforced Mr. Elliott insinu-
ated that because Of Mr.. Hitchcocks
failure 10 make good his promise he was
removed from the department OF COM
merce and labor
L accepted that promise said Mr.. FL
lott. "in place of the legislation pend

Hitchcock would be removed. He was.
He was sent over TO New York with the
national Republican committee, where he
was of Just about as much use as q

Mr.. Elliott said that the seal fight had
now reached the point where those who
were endeavoring to protect the seal
herds were notified in advance by the
seal island lcssees that any legislation
detrimental TO their interests would be
defeated.

Bismark," he asked, featuring for half
the gate receipts on How I defeated
France or st. Paul for silver col
lection speaking upon How Inter
viewed Caesar?'" All Of which lead
up to this gentle roast on William
Jennings Bryan:
Hon. W. j. Bryan talks eloquently
of the wrongs and crosses Of men.
But outside of old John D. know OF
no man in America who is such de
structive monopolist as Mr.. Bryan
He takes away dozens of lectures from
poorer men who are equally gifted
His Injurious monopolism is limited
only by the fact that there are no
more than twenty-four hours in a day
If Mr.. Bryan had time there would
not exist other lecturers on the plat
form He would deliver every lee
ture in the land
Mr.. MacQueen Is hardly fair to Mr.
Bryan. What would he have Bryan
do. "A statesman can't go on being a
statesman twenty-four hours in a day
and every day in a year when he has
no job upon which to exercise his
craftsmanship. Mr.. Bryan has tried
hard twice to take out card IN the
statesman's union, but he was denied
admittance. What then could he do
to occupy his time unless 1t be to
take to the lecture platform. the only
lucrative avenue open for the states
man out of job? And why is he a
monopolist If he is such good enter
tainer that the chautauqua people
keep him working overtime filing en-
gagements to speak?
Mr.. MacQueen. who it will be re-
membered while in Ottumwa advocat
ed making monarchy Of the United
States with Roosevelt as king. took
occasion to rap Ben Tillman in his re-
marks in which Bryan was referred
to-. He said the whole nation has dis
played its cowardice in permitting the
treason and banal vulgarity Of the
fiery southerner to dominate the plat
forms of the county. In this he will
be supported And when he says the
antics of Billy Sunday are not of
design to elevate the chautauqua work
an occasional "Ahem" may be arous-
ed. But when Pete MacQueen says
Bill Bryan is monopolist because the
peerless leader Of lost cause has a
larger chautauqua following than the
dauntless war correspondent there Is
just suspicion that 1t may be a case
of sour grapes.

LANDS AND THE RENTER.

Orange City Herald-The farmer
who rents land will wake up one Of
these days and find that rents have
been raised to about SIS per acre. Nor
would that figure be out of proportion
or an unjust one Herman Schreur
of Alton shelled his corn last week
and sold the product for 43 cents per
bushel. The crop averaged about co
bushels and at that figure the land
produced $3.50 per acre This is by
no means an isolated case, because if
Mr.. Schreur had fed his corn the pro-
fit would very likely have been stiIl
larger. Another farmer near Ireton,
Mr.. Campbell turned in forty-one head
of steers into a forty-acre pasture in
the spring and in the fall the steers
showed a gain which netted him $14S0

was interested In the Thaw trial and
had no time for panics. A second one
was started, but this time 1t was the

spoiled to their own determent, and
destruction. Yet, must confess, I
cannot accustom myself to the thought
of sending boys away from the home
influence at the early ages of from
8 to 10 years. Then the reassuring
thought came that the American boy
gets in public school the rough and
tumble humping up experience which
boys need and should have, without
leaving the home influence at ages
when that influence should exercise
a most beneflcent effect in shaping
their future lives. AS yet I am not

system Of educating boys for the Eng
lish system.
