william E. Curtis in the Chicago
Record-Herald expounds the Genesis
of the steamboat as follows:
Robert Fulton was not the invent
or of the steamboat, although he is
generally credited with that honor.
Nor was James Watt the inventor Of
the steam engine, although both
were successful in making these ne
cessities a commercial success and
securing their permanent employ
ment. The invention of the steam
engine and the steamboat cannot be
attributed to any one man, for they
are the results of the inventive pow
ers and experiments of several men
of genius, who discovered and de-
velopcd the principles of physics they
involve.
A German named Papin actually
constructed and operated steam
boat on the River Fulda at Cassel in
1907, 100 years before Fulton, and 1t
might have been successful had 1t not
been destroyed by the superstitious
boatmen of the neighborhood, who
thought II the work of the evil. one.

DANGEROUS TENDENCIES.

To Democrat of the old regime one of the most alarming and discouraging indications of a wronL conception of the objects and purposes of our gov ernment is the growing disposition to look to Congress or the 1xecutive for everything. There are certain duties which devolve on the Federal govern ment; certain obligations and responsi- bilities which it must assume and au- thority it must take, but all these are defined in the Constitution, either in plain language or by obvious implica- tion and the limitations of Federal power are plainly defined in the same way.
 In spite of what the Federal Consti- tuition requires and prohibits, and In spite of the limitations placed on it., we find a constant inclination among the people to go to Washington for whatever they want. They try to shirk many of the obligations resting on the individual citizen try to set aside the reserved rights and powers of the states and give the general government the right. the privilege and the duty of taking charge of each and every de- partment of the government. At each session of Congress we nd some ill., informed or ln-Inclined member trying to put through some measure enlarg- ing the Federal power and still further encroachlng on the rights of the indi- vidual States. We can always depend on some Beveridge or man of his sort to father these dangerous encroach- ments, Whether the object to be at tained is moral, educational or what ever it may be. there are those who rush to Washington for help. In this way there is an insidious but contin ual assault on the very foundations of what was intended by the fathers to be A strictly republican form of govern uaent, with the powers of the States and

They remem- Der well his speeches wherein he asked "Give me the Legislature, and do not handicap me, and 1 will do the rest. !" The executive and legislative branches of the State government have been blended into one and Conner placed at the head. As predicted by his oppon- ents he would do, this the new Gov ernor has lost no timeA in doing, and his administration has just begun. The damage to the progressive interests Of the State, if kept up as begun can hardly be estimated four years from this.

Democratic Leadership in the Senate.

N6W sun.
 It is reported in Washington that
 Charles A. Culberson. the senior Sen
 ator from Texas, has enough pledges
 from his Democratic associates to in-
 sure his choice as minority leader in the Senate when the Sixtieth Congress meets in December. If the report is true the presump- tion is that the pledges were unsO- licited and spontaneous, for it is not like Senator Culberson to press for ward to Dreferment and responsibility.
 He inherited the old-1ashioned notion want to exploit himself and actively promote his political fortunes. His father, Representative David B. Gull
 person, was one of the strong and sil- ent men of the House, speaking sell dom, but always with weight and au- thority, and yielding an influence which depended upon merit alone. He
 was incapable of self glorihcation or sordid ambition. Charles A. Culberson seems to have inherited not only his attitude toward public office and pub lie duty. but his reserve, modesty, strength of character. sound Judg
 ment and that remarkable legal abil- ity which raised David B. Culberson to
 the chairmanship of the Judiciary Com mttee and made him the leading au-
 thority on constitutional law on the ! Democratic side.
 County Attorney, Attorney General. Governor and United States Senator NnaflcS \. CulDefSOn mas earned every step of his promotion by merit and without sacrificing his personal inde- pendeGce, in Mhich respect he resem-
 bles his rugged father. He has always stunned the spectacular and sought the background. Serving his second term in the Senate, he has come to the front by the momentum of solid attachments,
 and the opinion of no man on the Dem-
 ocratic side Is more valued. He wears
 well, and the record can be examined
 without finding a single instance in which Mir. Culberson has forfeited the
 respect of his colleagues on both sides
 of the chamber. IL has sometimes
 been said that he takes himself serl- ously. lie does in the sense that he takes his duties seriously. The worst charge that can be brought against him is that he is a partisan, but his partisanship is tempered by a sturdy independence.
 If Mr. Culberson were chosen to lead the minority in the senate he would enter upon his unwelcome task with unsullied reputation and a modest con- fidence in his own powers. The long session of the SiXtieth Congress would be a searching test of his talents and tact. The Democratic Party needs a demonstration that 1t has a leader worth following.

Mrs. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne. the novelist, was born at Lenox, Mass, May 20. 1851. Tn 1871 she was married to George Parsons Lathrop, the author, and with him collaborated in the writ ing of several successful stories. Of late years, however, Mrs Lathrop has given up her social and literary activ- ities and has devoted her time wholly to the betterment of the conditions of the poor, especially of cancerous and destitute women. She devoted her for tune into cash and moved into a two room tenement in the poorer quarter of New York, where she carried on her charitable work. Here she spent her time in the company of the stricken women and girls who could not be admitted to the hospitals because of the incurability of their disease.
