The famous Brooklyn preacher who says there are too many churches will get the applause that any startling statement evokes, whereas the truth of the matter is that there are not too many churches, but that too few peo- ple go to them.

As the American people seem desir- ous to rely on the national government for everything, there is nothing that could be so properly referred to gov ernmental care as the protection of human life on the railroads, as we'll as on the steamships.

Those who happen to harbor the notion that Russia is 'down and out" as a great sea power will shortly be called upon to revise that opinion, if the Czar's government succeeds in an ambitious programme which it has now in hand. It is now announced from an authoritative source that Russia is planning the creation of five fighting squadrons, two of which will be stationed in the Pacific. two in the Baltic and one in the Black Sea. The cost will amount to between $50, GOO, GOO and s2O0, GOO, GOO. The government intends to ask the Douma for the whole sum en bloc, leaving the Min istry to decide how much will be spent annually.

Thirty-fve trust companies in New York City lost S25S, 900, 900 in deposits in the recent panic. This was an average drain of more than $7,000, GOO from each trust company, but not one of the companies failed and only two of them required outside assistance, which is a record calculated to com mapd copfidence-in trusts.

If ex-Governor Herrick of Ohio, is favoring MT. Taft's nomination for President. he is of all men the most magnanimous, or of most men the most subtle. A Taft candidacy that should inopportunely go to pieces in Mir. Herrcik's hands would be dra- matic collapse, or retribution.

The most effective temperance is that which works through the indiyid- ua. If people would not drink whisky there would be no need for saloons. This sort of temperance is being taken up with vengeance by the employees of the Chicago and Northwestern rail road. A dispatch from Omaha says that 10, GOO of them have entered into a compact not to use intoxicating liquors The movement was doubtless accelerated by the fact that in reduc- ing the forces the company decided to retain the men who were temperate in their habits.

The New York World says that Mir. Bryan was defeated in 1896, because he was not known, and in 1900, be- cause he was known It's a poor rule that does not work both anti-Bryan ways for the New York World. Ig- norance is bliss and knowledge is power, according to the Worlds Bry- anscOpe

The country will hardly be greatly impressed with the Aldrich currency bill as scientific measure of currency reform. It simply provides for pos sible addition of s250, 900, 900 to the bond-secured bank circulation of the country. Probably it will occur to the skeptical that the main object is to create a market for bonds.

Mir. Cleveland ran three times, had the most votes, each time, and YVES elected twice. He lost the election the second time because of compli- cation in the State of New York. But doesn't Mir.

The decision of the appellate court was blow of undoubted seriousness to the prosecution in the Schmitz and Ruef cases. However, it has some dozens of other indictments to fall back upon. Also the prosecution is composed of men who are accustomed to pulling themselves out of tight holes. Langdon, whose appointment of Francis Heney as bis deputy was the beginning of success in the fight against the San Francisco grafters, is an official of proved integrity and courage, and Heney himself is man who never has known, and is temper amentaly incapable of knowing, de- feat. It may be taken for granted that they will labor tirelessly to make good the ground they have lost, and to avoid a fasco with their cases. One thing favoring them is the vast num- Der and wide variety of crooked deals Schmtz and Ruef were mixed up in. They ought to be able to get an un- breakable hold on them somewhere. Meanwhile the country has, as a mon- unent of their work to date, a con- plete new deal in the San Francisco city government, and turning to cleaner and better things.

Championship of Rockefeller and Standard Oil is becoming quite pop ular pursuit with chancellors of large universities. Chancellor Day of Syra- cuse University braved the wrath of the public by writing a book defend ing the Rockefeller methods without subjecting himself to any apparent danger of request for his resigna- tion. Chancellor E. Benjamin An drews of the University of Nebraska. however, was not so fortunate when he rushed to the Rockefeller defense. Though it was announced that he would resign because of his unpopular ity growing out of his championship of Mir. Rockefeller Dr. Andrews de- clares he has no intention of giving up his place. It would almost seem as though he should be tried for heresy for his sympathy with MT. Rockefeller, seeing that William J. Bryan helped make hlm chancellor of the university as a reward for his ar dent espousal of the cause of free sil- yer in the days when that fallacy was almost religion.

sHERIFF'S SON AND DETECTIVE

LAST NIGHT.

Fred Iaukea, son of the Sheriff, last
night mixed it up with Detective

Iaukea was in charge at the receiv-

when Reeves wanted to remedy some
defect in the box-call telegraph sys-

Iaukea told him to stay outside, the
rules being that no one is allowed at
the desk without permission of the
man in charge.
Reeves, says Iaukea, persisted in en-
tering and there were words. These
words resulted in further debate out
side the stationhouse, where Reeves
made a pass at laukea, whereupon
Iaukea hit him and, says Iaukea,
Reeves reached for his hip-pocket and
Iaulea went for him with his fists.

FOR LAND
LOTTERY
GOVERNOR FREAR MAY ASK CON-
CHESS FOR ENABLING ACT TO
THAT END.

The lottery system of disposing of
Government land may be adopted in
this Territory, according to a state
ment made this morning by Governor
Frear. OF course to use this system
would require an act of Congress, but
it is possible that such a provision, as
an amendment to the present land
laws of the Territory, may be asked
at the coming session
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing, Governor Frear said:
The only two methods which we
have of disposing of land here are by
giving the property desired to the
first applicant or by auction. Neither
of these is satisfactory. In the giving
to the first to apply it might be that
We would force people to wait in line
for days or even longer and some big
man might come along and shove the
smaller man out of line and he would
have no redress. In the other plan, OF
too much advantage over the poor
man.
In the United States mainland OF
recent years the scheme of giving out
the land by lot has been taken up
very successfully. 1t seems fair to
all First fair appraisement of the
land is made and then lots are drawn
and the lucky individual has the first
chance. 1t may be that provision
which will allow this to be done here
will be asked from Congress-" -

MISS BUCKLEY SAFE
Kenosha Girl Thought To Have Been
Drowned. Found in Chicago


Miss May Buckley, the girl who
formerly resided in Kenosha and who
recently went to Chicago and on ac-
count Of her failure to write to friends
here caused them to fear that the body
found in the lake off Jackson Park was
her remains, was found in Chicago late
Friday afternoon alive and well. She
was considerably amused at the story
that had been started by some Of her
friends and it seems that the only rea-
son she had not written to her friends
was that she had been busy in Chicago
The Chicago police hailed the clue sent
to them from Kenosha as a sure solu-
ton Of the mystery but when they went
to find the friends of the young women
the clue was killed.
