Bur sHr oAN HIr rHr MARK.

A Jasper county (Missouri) woman who discovered a fellow feloniously appropriating the contents of her hen house took deliberate aim at the rob Der with a shotgun and killed two of her best-beloved chickens.
 This incident will be used to show that woman can't hit anything that she aims at, but it will not rightly be so used She may not be able to throw stone straight or to shoot straight but she. can hit the mark in matters that amount to more than those. In this country she is aiming at freedom, independence and her full and right full share of what isl going. She is get ting what she is after and were she not a courteous and generous creature proud man might be filled with fear of the future. But even as in Eden Eve gave Adam bite of the apple, so in the modern world-garden woman will hasten to give man his share. Lucky man, when his real status is consid- cred.

NOT SOON.

There will not be an inland water way between Lake Michigan and the Gulf of Mexico as soon as there was going to be one. The Illinois legisla- ture has made law declaring the Des Plaines river navigable after the first of January, but water power company is constructing a dam and power plant in and alongside the stream, under the authority of lease that 1t obtained from the old Illinois and Michigan Canal Commission Now the legislature, which is in extra ses- sion, has adopted a resolution calling upon Governor Deneen to take pos session of the Des Plaines river even if he has to use State troops for the pur- pose. The Governor has called upon Attorney General Stead for an opin- ion, and that opinion is that the ques- ton of navigabilIty is one of fact and not of law, and that the legislature cannot make a stream navigable by fiat. As navigation of the Des Plaines has been mostly confined to floating logs at high water, the prospect ap- pears to have struck a snag; but the governor has refused to accept his law officers ruling and will compel the water power company to defend it's title and it's rights.
 It is too bad that such promising scheme should meet with such set- back at it's very start. Perhaps some way out will be found, but, like many other schemes just now, 1t will have to be delayed.

nyKE EGYPTIANS.

The people of this highly civilized country fatter themselves that they are considerably ahead of the semi civilized Egyptians, but just now many .of them are quite like the Egyptians in one respect. Lord Cromer has been telling in London something about the propensity of the Egyptians to hoard money. During the last four years the imports of gold into Egypt have amounted to thirteen millions more than the exports, and much of the gold has been hoarded. A little while ago he heard of an Egyptian gentle man who died leaving a fortune of fSO,000, the whole of which was in gold coin in his cellars. Then, again, he heard of substantial yeoman-a village sheik, as he is called in Egypt "a class enormously increased in wealth and prosperity in recent years, who bought a property for f25,000. Half an hour after the contract was signed he appeared with a train of Idonkeys, bearing on their backs the money, which had been buried in his garden, And on the occasion of fire in a provincial town no less than f5, 900 was found hidden in earthen pots
 The creation of savings banks, the increased circulation of paper money, and additional banking facilities will, it is hoped, gradually wean the natives of Egypt from this uneconomical hab- it. It is also hoped that return of common sense will wean the hoarders of the United States from their folly.

STONE COAL.

That will be an interesting celebra- ton which will be held at Wilkesbarre in February. It will commemorate the -hundredth anniversary of the use of "the stone coal' of Pennsylvania. This coal was long regarded as value less, and it is only about fifty years ago that it's common use extended beyond the immediate vicinity of the mines
 Stone coal' isn't regarded as val ueless now. Indeed, it is so valuable that it is sometimes adulterated with stone that wont burn, February will be a good time for the celebration at Wilkesbarre. Those in other parts of the country who can discover stone coal enough in their bins in February will feel like joining in the celebra- ton, and those who can't will have to take it out in celebrating the fact that they have had, or still have, some coal. "Stone coap' is all right, and should be celebrated. Its price is celebrated, and soon perhaps those who can afford to buy it will be celebrated

NOT 4 SHINING SUCCESS.

The government of Canada is a sta- ble and solid affair, but it can't make government railroads pay. The Inter- colonial railroad is owned and oper- ated by it. Its length is LAS miles. Its capital cost to the end of last March has been $S2,744.9S7. The min- ister of railroads and canals has is- sued a report for the nine months end ing March S1. He shows that in that period the road returned to the Dom inion treasury only about quarter of one per cent. on it's construction cost But the marvel is that it returned any thing. In the fiscal year 1903-4 the loss on operating expenses was $900,750 In the following year it was $1,- 725,303 The road traverses, for the greater part of its length, we'll popu- lated, traffic-producing region. But it continuously fails to pay. The con- structton cost is constantly increasing. The expenditures on capital account, taken from the public treasury, were, in 1sO5-6, $S,765,17O, and $1,5O6, 209 in tS0s-7 The Montreal Gazette says there is no other country with so valuable a property showing such mis- erable results"
 This wont be encouraging to those who will talk this year and next imme- diate or ultimate government owner ship of railroads in this country. But they don't nee dan encouragement. They are going to talk, whatever the facts

convention in event of the Republi- cans turning to conservative candi- date, It is impossible in fact to con template the political success of the one without wondering at the political failure of the other Nor would it be strange if they continued to cross each others paths next year.
 We do not presume 70 anticipate the experience of the next six or seven months with its possible adverse effect upon every candidacy which proceeds or undertakes to proceed along radical lines. No one can foresee exactly the educational influence of the times that are upon us already. There are those who believe that the country needs an opportunity to digest what it has been fed with during the past four or five years, which of itself will call for quieter methods, on the one hand and revival of confidence, on the other hand, as a result of orderly methods of procedure. In the meantime. nothing is surer for the moment than that President Roosevelt and MT. Bryan have together so added life and ener- gy to the consideration of things poli- tical that the immediate elimination of their general point of view must be in- cluded among the improbable things of life. An early word from the friends of President Roosevelt as to the finali- ty of his position is now more in or der than ever before.

 Wasn't MT. Mellen vaulting over the facts on the springboard of his imag- nation when he told the national grange at Hartford that "the losses in value, credit, fortune in this country since the beginning of this year have been greater than occurred as result of the civil war;" The cost of the civil war to both North and South has been estimated to have been over $13,000.- 100000, and that sum does not include pensions for the last fifteen years or interest on the war debt left unpaid. The losses on account of the civil war. too, were losses in real values, not pa per values. Has the recent financial spasm cost this country over thirteen billions in real values?

Lalande, the French astronomer, was better known for his objectiona- ble habit of eating dried spiders than for his discoveries in astronomy. The centenary of his death was recently celebrated by the publication of the truth about the spiders. Lalande used to carry about with him a little silver box full of dried spiders, which he ate in public and amused himself by offering to ladies. One day he told the Comtesse de Perthuis, who did not reveal the fact till long after the astronomers death, that he had new CT eaten a spider in his life and that what he carried in his box were only limitations made of chocolate by a. friend who was confectioner. He did 1t merely to advertise himself, for he was vain man and considered that sufficient attention was not paid him as an astronomer.

Our New Gold Coins.

(New York Sun)
 We have received one of the new gold coins which are now being celebrated in connection with the suppression of the familiar legend Tn God We Trust" Having regard to the artistic quality of the design the piece Is distressing Knowing the work of the lamented Saint Gaudens as intimately as we do we are inpelled to the conclusion that he must have executed 1t under the most unfavorabie and forbidding cir cumstances. It is wholly unworthy of him and indeed wholly unlike him. Saint Gaudens in his treatment of in- scriptions was always most distinguish ed, his lines of text were characterized by a decorative significance that was full of charm, whereas in the new coin the lettering Is as coarse and repellent as it's disposition is unfortunate.
 The head of Liberty Is utterly flat and unrelieved; it has no quality of anything; it is pitched in it's plane with out the least sense of composition and is superposed upon date of egregious disproportion and style. The reverse is wholly discouragirig. Saint Gaudens was more Greek in his sympathy and inspiration than any other artist of the nineteenth century, and how he should have executed such modern barbarism as this eagle is beyond our comprehen- sion, We know what the difficulties are in conforming to the physical re- quirements of modern coinage, but the die sinker's art is not inexorable. We reject the coin deflnitively; we refuse to accept 1t as the work of Augustus Saint Gaudens.

THE BIENNIAL GAME.


 Once in two years ,he Princeton Tiger, confident of its black and yell low stripes, visits New Haven to lick chops with tho undershot bow-legged Yale bulldog. Why one University should select as its mascot beast of the jungle and the other domesticat- ed animal of fierce exterior only must be left for determination to the stud cnts of undergraduate lore. It is enough that they visit one another in alternate years, growl inordinately in the presence of the merry thousands and privately conflne their attention to the candid acknowledgement of the winning contestant. May the best fighter win" is a sentiment as gener- ously approved at Princeton as it Is at Yale--two democratic seats of learn ing.
 It is beyond the foresight of The Journal and Courier to state which team will win in to-day's battle on the gridiron. Naturally it's wish is that Yale will, but it is tempered by the hope that in spite of organized cheer ing and the various elements of super for strength which grow out of a local environment that team will win which in the expenditure of hard work, intelligent work and honest work deserves the victory. It is not born in true Yale man, in spite of the noise he may make over the fact of victory to feel deep down in his heart a satisfaction over rivals de- feat which can obviously be traced to a bungle or a tumble. Tn other words. Yale men want to win, but they are stronger Yale men when they win on their merits.
 Yale men welcome Princeton men to New Haven for one reason more than another-when defeated they go down with every flag flying and every voice attuned to the inspiring strains of "Old Nassau" There have been oc- casions at the Yale Field when the superb poise of the defeated Princeton team, both in baseball and football, has made the celebrating Yale victors soften their cheers by adding to them the mellowness of honest sympathy. i We are sure we are neither disloyal nor partisan in either behalf when we say that those have been mo- ments which have fingered long in the memory of men who love sport for the sake of sport. Human, they rejcice in the rewards which come to their rep resentatives in the struggle; still hu- man, they understand the splendid possibilities which are poorly conceal ed behind cheers which proclaim an- other day to come; a victory yet to be won.
 It is in this spirit of admiration for foeman worthy of the best Yale steel that The Journal and Courier welcomes the Princeton football team to-day. In the same spiit it welcomes the thousands of visitors whose only appreciation of New Haven and Yale University is confined to a hurried railroad journey and a good naturedly riotous walk through the two central 1 thoroUghfares which lead into th.. town of Orange, where twenty-two stalwart youngsters are lined up in battle array Come one, come all! New Haven and Yale are on the back of this indefinite note of welcome.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Lack of fIImaginntion.
(Edinburgh Review.)


 The average Englishman is not an imaginative persbn, he finds it difficult to put himself into the position of an other, especially of a foreigner, and most difficult of all if that foreigner be one of the dark races What is good for himself and his nation, wheth- CT 1t be food dress, political system, representative government, education, he Is apt to think equally well suited to the rest of humanity.
