Public Ooirion Mighty.

The only tribunal, save the battle field, before which the acts of na- tiOns pa in review is the court of public opinion. The sentiment of the world will not tolerate acts which would have been uncondemned 200 years ago, and those who are respon- sible for government to-day would not do such things. But this fact does not make treaties to-day more binding than old treaties. Although such agree ments are too often broken, yet it is well to make them and right to con- demn nations for violating them; for it is in that way that the sentiment grows which will in the distant fu- ture successfully demand an interna- tional police force to execute the law of nations.-Youth's Companion.

Dantzic and Nurembera.

In preserving the spirit of the renaissance, the city has done for north Germany what Nuremberg has doHe for south Germany Nuremberg built it's houses with greater pie turesqueness and variety; Dantzic, with greater durability, with more unity of style and grouping, and later; and it has kept out modern discords more successfully. The townsman or dered his dwelling in the same lordly spirit with which he ordered his clothes. Brick would do for his church, but stone was not too good for his house. And these rich facades are al most as surprising in this stoneless country as facades of silver-From Robert Haven Schaufflers Romantic Germany; Dantzic," in Century.

When Cold Breathe Deeply.

A simple way to get warm after ex- posture to cold is to take long breath with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat this several times, until you begin to feel the heat returning. It requires a very short time to do this.
 The long breath quickens the pulse and thus causes the blood to circulate faster. The blood flows into all parts of the veins and arteries and gives out a great deal of heat. It is stated that this method of deep breathing prevents colds and great many other ailments if begun in time.-Family Doctor.

HEROIC MEN

w LY, NEW, and her people are in
X, the worlds eye because of the
IL rescue of the three men who have
been entombed in the Giroux mine at
that place for the past forty-six days.
The blood pulses with renewed life
in the veins of men when they read of
the heroic struggle of the men of Ely
to save the lives of their unfortunate
comrades.
Nevada has her troubles, as all other
localities have, but while men of the
caliber of courage and ability shown
by these rescuers are among her people
she must be said to also have her bless
ings. The metal of her hills is in the
blood of them and all the world halls
them and commends them.
Stocks may go up or down or side
wise. still no community owning the
presence of such heroic men can be
said to be bankrupt.
The Herald notes this heroic incident
with a deep sense of pride in the men
of Nevada and holds it to be an earnest
of the fact that where such men are
there law and order and all manly vir-
tues must abound.
The tragic entombment is known to
the ends of the earth, with sorrow; the
heroic deliverance will be equally well
known and with unfeigned Joy.

ANARCHISTS RAMPANT

~ OMEWHAT startling were the
- Monday dispatches which told of
~ the plan of anarchists to destroy
one or more of our battleships while
the fleet was at anchor in the harbor
of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Equally so
was the news that our government and
other governments had knowledge that
an attempt to wreck the ships was be-
ing Matched.
The officials of the navy department
disclaim any Official knowledge of the
matter and state Admiral Evans has
wired no word concerning it. This lat
ter fact is reassuring to the nation.
With the eyes of the world on our
fleet as it steams on it's way, all the
attendant clements of worldwide no.
toriety and inhuman wickedness are
present in such an attempt to tempt
the vanity and conceit of anarchists;
and sober second thought admits that
these lawless desperadoes could and
would make carital for their outlawed
cause by just sue move.
The people of the Latin-American re-
publics have the blood of the Spaniard
largely in their veins and the recent
Spanish defeat necessarily finds many
among them who resent it.
That such a conspiracy could be
Matched out among such people is
not strange, but there remains a sense
of reliance on the true manhood and
character of the better classes which
is reassuring to the American people.
The Brazillians are the Yankees of
the east coast of South America, and
represent the most advanced ideas ana
accomplishments of the age.
The city of Rio de Janeiro holds sOO'-
900 people and is rapidly increasing IN
population. All nations are represented
there, and it is not strange that the
European anarchist of Spanish eXtrac-
ton with a double barreled Crouch
should find asylum among them and
plot such a murderous scheme.
The people of the United States have
faith in the manliness and honor or the
BRAZILIAN government and what is
more to the purpose they nave I'M
bounded confidence in Admiral Evans
and his officers and men. Being fore
warned, it will be but remotely pos
sible thing for any man or men to harm
/ the American feet.
Unfortunately the scare will have
worked the dearest purpose of the an
archist, which is to gain notoriety and
create dread among the people.

THE WAGE QUESTION

NTuCH undue excitement prevails in
WI Chicago and other eastern cities
AiA because a sudden and great fall
ing off in the school teaching forces
has come to light. Several influential
men are now before congress to tell
it's members a sudden and great fall
ing off of men for the army has come
to light. All over the land, from Dan
to Beersheba excepting in the great
cities) hundreds of employers are ex-
cited at the sudden and grea. falling
off in workmen, and the sudden and
great imitation Of the rank and file of
trarlps.
There should be no excitement, much
less establishment. at these things, all
of which are the logical outcome of
conditions made by the very people
who complain of them. The real cause
is inadequate wages. Young women
who have given from four to ten years
OF life to prepare for the teaching pro-
fession will not work for a pittance
comfort They can marry or go into
many other employments, and they do
these things.
Desirable men, of the necessary physi-
cal and other needed requirements, will
not act as lackeys for officers and per-
form the most mental services for s1S
per month, while they can earn as much
in one week elsewhere.
Thousands of homeless men whose
only abode is where chance takes them
and whose only capital is Drawn, will
not work from ten to twelve hours OF
more a day for stingy employers who
pay them wages at rates current thirty
years ago. They can, and do, tramp
in preference.
Tt is, first and last, a case of low
wages and high prices for the neces-
stiles of life, and it was a fact attract
ing national attention that. in all the
speech making of the peripatetic cab
met in recent months, no man of them
voiced a cure for this burning evil. II

assuaged by any theories, however
specious. Theorists and moralists have

I.aymen often wonder how actors III
stock companies are able to memorize
their lines, often long and difficult
week after week throughout a long
season. An actor committed suicide IN
New York the other day because OF
inability to master such a task. The
average person who gives it thought

That it may sometimes be an over

AN IMPERATIVE DUTY

~ o strong and imperative is the pop
- ular demand for the reappointment
~ of James A. Anderson to the board
of public works that in the opinion of
The Herald Mayor Harper will commit
grievous error if he further delays
sending to the city council the nominal
ton of Mr.. Anderson to this post.
Mr.. Anderson's term Of office expired
at midnight of December 81. Today
marks the lapse of three weeks, in
which no step has been taken, officially,
looking to the filling of the vacancy in
the board. 1t is neither the part of
good politics nor evidence of a spirit
friendly to good government for the
mayor to postpone action unneces-
sarily.
Less than four weeks ago the mayor
announced that if Mr.. Anderson would
accept the office he would reappoint
him, in Difference to what appeared to
be an almost overwhelming popular de-
n,]nd that he do so. If there are good
reasons why there should be any delay
in the matter such reasons have not
been made apparent.
There have been many hints at sinis-
ter designs on the part of certain local
politicians in connection with this i'm
portant office. In order that all such
innuendo may be proved to have been
without foundation, we believe that
the mayor will act with great wisdom
if he Immediately proceed to tender the
appointment to Mr.. Anderson. The dis
cussion that has grown out of the long
and unnecessary delay is better ended
at once than continued day longer.
