THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK

Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but day of toll should not
have its penalty of pain Why Is it.
then, you ask, that 5ackache so often
follows? It is because the modern
tendency is to overworl1, TO tear down
faster than nature can rebuild. An
unnatural strain is thrown upon the
vital organs, and more especially upon
the kidneys. which have the work OF
fItering the blood free OF waste and
poison.
The heavy tax OF overwork-the
strain upon the back that is so com
mon TO many trades and occupations,
Is too great The kidneys begin TO
fail IN their work. and there is a double
danger TO health The poisonous mat
ter collects in the system. and the Kid
neys themselves begin to break down.

Ayes, and on account Of my job.
1 was obeying his orders.
Q.-The Senator then had you tell her
falsehoods on many occasions?
Ayes. And then, besides, Mrs.
Bradley and were in the office together
sometimes for hours at a time. and 1
saw no use in having unpleasant re-
lations.
He denied that he had told her, how
ever, that the reason the Senator dld
not want her 10 go 60 Goldfield was that
she might succeed in business and he
would lose control Of her. He said the
only thing nc remembers was that ne
had told her that If she could take
from drinking that ne ought TO marry
her, but thai re doubted her ability TO
do this.

tell of an incident which he had wit
messed at the deport. He did not fix the
date, but said that nc remembered on
one occasion some time ago he saw a
scene at the depot in which Brown and
Mrs. Bradley participated. The former
Senator was endeavoring to get her TO
accompany him on some trip. and she
chung to his arms as the train pulled
away. He heard the loud talk and
some cursIng, but could not say whether
Brown prevented Mrs. Bradley from
going or not
lieutenant Hartley and Mrs. Thorn

ton, were again put on the stand ana
testified that Mrs. Bradley seemed ra-
tional on the afternoon Of the shooting.
Mrs. Thornburg said Mrs. Bradley had
asked to be excused from answering
the question as 10 whether she brought
the revolver with her. She also said
that she had remarked to Mrs. Bradley
How did you get the nerve 20 shoot
a man. You must have been crazy" and
that Mrs. Bradley replied. Indeed,
IN not I am far from being crazy"
Says It Was Deliberate.
She said Mrs. Bradley told OF finding
the letters in the former Senator s
room. and that she shot him as he put
on his overcoat aEri tried to leave the
room. Asked II she intended to shoot
him. a.Ie said Mrs. Bradley replied slow
IS, '"Well, II he refused 70 do the right
thing
1t was then that Mrs. Bradley's state
ment % Onicer 3urlingame was ad-
mitted. in which she admitted that she
shot Brown as he was leaving the room
and the officer said she seemed to be
sane at the time.
He said that she told him she had
followed him across the Continent. and
that although she did not intend 10
Kill him. she did not know what her
thoughts were. She told him she had
feared for some time that matters would
end in this way. Detective Burlingame
said Mrs. Bradley was rational, but
nervous. he did not think she APP
peared at all insane.

The question has been raised why
the National salute OF this country is 81
guns, which is fired as a salute to the
President and to reigning monarchs.
Researches into a misty history for the
origin discover that the first record was
in the army regulations of 1912, which
then prescribed a gun for each State
in the Union, or IS. In 1913 there were
81 States and the number was made 81.
in accordance Herewith, but 1t seems
that at the same time this had the war
rant Of the English military regula-
tiAns from which ours were copied.
These fixed the English salute at 81
guns, to be fired on the anniversary
days of the birth, accession and coron-
alton of the King. the birth of the
Queen, the restoration of Charles H.,
and the day Of the Gunpowder Treason
plot. Al that time the French National
salute was 81 guns. which were fired
on Corpus Christi Day and on the
Kings birthday. Since then France has
changed her National salute to 101
guns. but the United States and Great
Britain retain the old number of 81.
On the 4th Of July there Is flrsd what
is called the Salute to the Union," OF
one gun for every State.

ixationists of an extreme type. On the
whole. they have been greater ciamor-
ers for National control Of matters con-
cernihs our people than have the Re-
pubiicans and we see their leader. the
peerless Bryan" coming out for Gov
ernment ownership of railroads, which
would be complete obliteration Of
States Rights and reduce the States 10
the condition of the provinces of an
empire. With the Government ownins
the railroads there would be precious
little for the State oficiaIs to do. and
the offices from Governor down would
become as purely honorary as the ii.
ties Of Colonel. Judge and Esquire.
Where Lieut.-Gov. Sherman mistakes
is as to the kernel Of the matter In the
California dispute. The Constitution
makes treaties part of the supreme law
of the land, and very properly. 1t is
the daty of the General Government to
sec that those treaties are observed by
the citizens Of the various States and
the States themselves. The Government
wouli be justified in employing the ut
most force, all its Army and Navy. to
compel State to observe a treaty. But
a treaty cannot extend to purely domes>
tic matters within the control of the
State. 1t can provide for the same
safeguarding of the persons and prop
erty of the citizens OF the treaty-mak-
ing country and all the other common
and obvious rights of citizenship, but a
treaty cannot extend to such a purely
private and individual matter as edu-
question of street railroad fare or
sidewalk taxes imposed. by a munich
pality. There are obvious limitations
to the treaty-makdng power, and the
question of the education of the chill
dren is one of them

provision for a ship canal from Chi
cago to st. Louis, and for deep water
way from Kansas City to New Orleans.
in its immense appropriation of ss3.-
900. 900 for rivers and harbors, stirs the
Mississippi Valley papers to anger.
They are raising the old CRY of Sec
uonalism," because the line of the Great
Lakes receives more than one-fourth OF
the entire appropriation. The defense.
and 1t seems an adequate one. is that
the Great Lakes carry tonnage from
10 to 15 times that of the Mississippi
River. If the people of the Mississippi
country want bigger appropriations,
they must make more use Sf their great
highway.

WATER IN THE STOCK MARKET.

Elsewhere we give most importanf
outline of what the President has
marked out for the legislative program
of the next Congress. 1t is matter OF
the highest interest. and The National
Tribune is the first to give what may
be called an authorized outline of what
is proposed as the next step in railroad
Hesitation. 1t Is also a reliable pre-
diction that Tariff Revision will have to
wait upon this much more pressing
public need
It cannot be said that anyone, unless
possibly the lumber consumers Of the
Far West. Is suffering acutely from any
inequality in the tariff The main de-
mand for revision seems to come from
Massachusetts, manufacturers, who
want free wool, coal and leather.
Against this it may be said that those
manufacturers are already making
quite substantial profits. while their de-
mand for free raw materials means
strong reduction in the profits of rals-
ing cattle and sheep and in the wages
of coal miners.
ftcNlSIOH Is d tichlSH thihS "
attempt in the midst of such busy and
prosperous commercial campaigns as
we are having. because 1t almost in
evitaa oily brings a halt and a readjust-
ment to see where the lightning OF
change Is going to strike.
On, the other hand. the testimony Of
Mr.. Hartman, under tho searching ex-
animation now being given him. shows
that enormities and Irregularities of the
most fragrant character are practised
unchecked In the world of high finance.
and that they are going on e2largins
indefinitely unless a strong repression
is brought to bear. 1t is by far the
ilost dangerous tendency in all our
business system, and threatens frightful
calamit1es to the millions of people Of
small capital. who make investments III
the stock of railroads and other cor
poi ations. This IL the first and the
most pre-eminent consideration Rail-
roads and other corporations should be
made approximately as safe for the IN
vestor as savings banks. This nrst con-
dition of safety IS absolutely destroyed
by such manipulations as those OF Mr.
Hartman, where the actual money put
in is swallowed up in a hopeless sea Of
water in the paper obligations flooded
upon the concerns.
The Presidents idea is to bring the
railroad corporations and others back
to tho region of safety and sanity by
determination of the actual business
value on each corporation, expressing it
as definitely az a farm value or any
other species of property, and then limit
the amount of paper that is fioated upon
it. He sees, as every other sensible
man sees, that no matter what high
sounding phrases of high finance may
be employed with regard to operations
such as Mr.. Harriman's. that they ars'
after all, mere tricks to give grossly
exaggerated apparent values; that they
are consequently vicious and harmful
to the last degree, and should be a.
vigorously supprest as any other dam
gerous imitation Of values for the rob-
berry of honest and unskilled persons
who may be tempted to invest. :

With every wish to see Senator Bail
ey completely exonerated, we regret
that ne has not made his vindication
more complete and satisfactory The
Texas Senate has AT his request voted
to dismiss the charges. but this was
done by majority so small that 1t il;
far from conclusive, and in the Com
mittse which had the matter under in
vestigation there were only four Sena-
tors voted for acquittal to three against.
This sort of thing is hardly the way
that high-minded, sensitively honorable
men want to come out from under a
fire as severe as that which Mr.. Bailey
has been subjected to. 1t is true that
he can aIlege that all of this clamoT
against him has been due to rivals who
coveted his seat, but at the same time
there has been SO much real ugliness
developed in the course of the struggle
that ii would seem that a moderately
sensitive man would insist upon a much
more complete exoneration than ths
Senator has yet received.
