Herein lies the chief danger of all. and In N. Meline's opinion it can only be met by restricting authorization to the com munes to the exact requirements of their own inhabitants.

 Melbourne Nov. 1.-The Melbourne Age forecasts the early formation of a new Protestant party in Federal pol itics.
 that the leaders of the Orange Insttu- tion in New South. Wales. supported by representative Orangemen in Vic- toria and other States, are now per- fecting plans for the creation of an independent Orange party. Experi- ence of the policy of leavening the ex-. isting parties with Orangemen, has, 1t is said. convinced the Sydney lead CTS that if Protestantism Is to become a real force in national affairs 1t must have separate political party be- hind it.
 It is said thar the program of the new party Is to be radical one, in- cluding probably such items as old age pensions graduated land tax. cftl- zens' defence force, an Australian navy. preferential voting, white Aus tralla," preferential trade within the with Irish questions, and maintenance of the Protestant succession.
 These items have not, however. been approved by any authorized body, and are merely being spoken of by indi- viduals as possible of inclusion fin any manifesto which might be Issued Wh en arrangements now pending are com- pfeted the new party is to be launched at great demonstration in Sydney.
 At the last general election. in 1So6 several purely Protestant candidates were run in Federal constituencies, ands heavily subsidized Protestant defence committee issued advice to electors in several States as to the merits of candidates belonging to the three orthodox parties.

 Casa Blanca. Morocco, Nov. 14.--News from Marrakesh and the Southern dis tricts shows that there is a growing feeling of discomfort with Muley Hafid. wh ose financial situation leaves a good deal to be desired By far the larger portion of the revenues of the empire are retained by the State Bank, and as Muley Hafid has, not yet been recog- nized by the European powers. these sums remain untouched. though the dc facto Sultan would very much like to lay hands on them.
 His only means of providing ready cash is to impose taxes on the tribes men. Harrakesh. the first town 10 proclaim Muley Hafd. has been re- warded in a most unmerited fashion, for thVf town has been compelled to pay $9e0,0O0 into the Hahdian treas ury. The most curious contribution. perhaps, ever recorded in history has also been levied. While furnishing money, the town has also been com pelled to provide no fewer than 1000 cats for the Imperial Palace.
 During the absence of Muley Haid the palace was invaded by a legion of mice. which did an enormous amount of damage. and the cats were required to drive out the rodents It is diffi- cult to say whether the inhabitants Of Marrakesh protested more vigor. ousfy against the monetary exaction o5 against the feline tribute. At any rate, nobody seemed anxious to part with his cat. The Governor made scrupuleus search in all the houses, and violent hands were laid on every cat that was seen. The children were also let loose, and carried on exciting cat hunts In the streets. When safely lodged in the palace the cats had busy time, and soon cleared the palace of the plague of mice.
 Some of the tribes in the neighbor- h ood of Marrakesh have refused to pay their contributions to the imperial treasury. so expeditions are being or ganlzed to compel their obedience. and sanguinary conflicts. are expected. ~

the human race. By q strange faculty
of the minds of men, the one who wins
a victory through the slaughter OF
many victims in battle on land or sea
is regarded as a hero. while the one
who accomplishes the same results by
peaceful methods. and without the
shedding of blood or the loss of life,
is hardly even remembered in connec-
ton with any grand achievement. 1t
is the very irony of fate that 1t should
be no, and that the real hero, In the
full meaning Of the term, Is given
small praise and soon forgotten, while
the men who led others to destruction
have monuments erected in their hon.

plish wonders in the field OF dipiom-
acy may be forgotten. the people en-

done, and they are satisfied.

our government has been spending
money needlessly and extravagantly
of late years instead of paying some

thirds of that debt, and he added
that during the past ten years not

REGULATION OF LAUNDRIE:s.

1t will never do to aScribe to Rep
resentative Moore of Pennsylvania q
selfish motive for his bill, introduced
in the house of representatives dur
ing the closing hours Of the session.
for the regulation of laundries in the
District of Columbia. 1t is said by
some detractors that a saw-edged col
lar did the business, and that the
congressman introduced the bill to get
revenge in behalf of his neck. but that
unkind jibe may fairly be overlooked,
The only just criticism of Mr.. Moore
may be because of the limited scope
of his bill
For why should the government
regulation of laundries be limited to
the District of Columbia? Are not we
all sufferers? 1t is not SO much that
we sometimes send a perfectly good
collar into the mysterious nav of a
laundry and get back perfectly bad
wreck, which nevertheless gives some
evidence of being the same collar we
sent away. There are laundries in
these days which can perform the
formerly impossible feat of sendins
back a collar or shirt in seemingly
whole condition. But trust not the
best of them. For a few brief days
the beauty of the linen remains, but
in an hour when you think not-and
are dressing for some strenuous occa-
sion-you come upon a wreck beneath
the surface.
But the real objection to the laun-
dry in these days is its price. Here
in Topeka 1T is at such a point that 4,
