Ii is rather dull times for news since
the Thaw trial ended, and a man who
asserts that he has discovered new
principle in the matter of fuel, by which
ne gets almost unlimited heat from
peculiar combination of coal ashes and
combustibles, has had considerable at
tention paid him by the newspapers.
II is unnecessary to possess any extern

the thing is unquestionably fake, but
there are some of us who are old enough
TO remember when even more attention
was given to the Kelley motor.
Fortunately in the case of the steamer
Larchmont which took a hundred peo-
pie down with her, it is possible to lay
the blame on the pilot, who is dead. In
reporting upon the matter, the United
States inspectors, while they exonerate
Captain McVey from blame, say they
can not commend his subsequent action
or approve his conduct. This is some
how reminder of the woman who said
she wasn't any better; perhaps she
wasn't quite so bad, but she certainly
wasn't any better.
Well, what are we going to do about

The career of Attorney Delmas in the
Thaw trial is very much like that OF the
proverbial rocket. At one time early in
the trial he was hailed in the press as
almost demigod. Now that the trial
is over, and he failed to get his client
acquitted, hardly paper in the land has
refrained from giving him kick and
telling how he mismanaged the case.

A NOBLE SENTIMENT.

Riding with the Confederate General
stephen ID. Lee, President Roosevelt
enunciated the gospel of reconciliation
and reunion in his recent visit to our
Southland. Standing in historic Vicks-
burg, praising the memory of the great
President of the Confederacy, and CIV
ing the sanction of his approval to a
gigantic plan of waterways improve
ment which will transform millions of
acres OF the richest lands of the South
from flooded bottoms of no value into
all the richness and productivity of an
American Holland, President Roosevelt
said:
General Lee read to me that noble
inscription on the Pennsylvania monu-
ment, an inscription that should make
the heart of every true American thrill
as he reads it: Here brothers FOUGHT
Tor their principles; here heroes died
Tor their country, and a united people
Will forever cherish the precious legacy
OF their noble manhood What other
war is there of which we can saw that
before the generation that fought il had
died away the whole country rises TO
feel the same triumph alike for those
who fought so valiantly for what thew
beheved to be right and triumphed. and
for those who fought so valiantlv for
what they, with equal sincerity. thouebt
to be right and lost?'

THE MONEY PANIC.

U. 5. officials say the present is q
bankers panic" which we suppose
means that the big city institutions
which have money are holding it for a
high rate of interest. For example
the rate of interest on Wall Street to-
day for short-term loans is quoted at
the rate of rs to 100 per cent per wear.
The stringency has hampered the
moving of southern cotton crops. and
causing immense loss TO growers. The
country banks in the north and west
are beng helped by the big city banks
ana the government, but southern
country banks find no relief. Cover

BIRD LOSS sSOo,OOO.ooO.

Because of the decrease in birds the

agricultural crops valued at $500, OOO 600

which destruction is entirely due to the
rapid decrease in the number of insec-
tlverous birds in the country.
