Tomorrow is Decoration Day and it
will be generally observed in this city
and throughout the entire United
States. When this day approaches
each year there is a general feeling of
patriotism that steals over each indi-

citizen shows his valor and true
American citizenship by. helping to
commemorate the virtues Of the dead
soldiers who sacrificed their lives in
the cause of humanity and to Tree the
colored race from the bonds OF slav-

Hls0EN,s POPULARITY.

After reading the account of the re-
ception given to MI. Thomas L. His
gen, Independence party candidate for
the presidency. on the occasion Of his
notification Monday evening, one Is
impressed with the fact that the mem
bers OF the league ire very much in
earnest. Nj. Hisgen is not an timer
ant politician, nor a prating dema-
gogue. He is a man Of wealth, intu-
ence and standing. He is a manurac-
tuler, an employer of labor. .Ae is a
keen, cool, observing mar Of the
world who has accepted the nomina-
ton OF the Independence party be
cause he believes in the principles of
that organization.
That there are thousands who share
his belief is apparent from the crowo
that attended the meeting, and that
they we've in earnest is shown by the
enthusiasm provoked as Mr.. Hisgen
spoke, and reiterated his party plat
form declarations.
Mr.. Hisgen will not be elected-he
does not expect to be-but he will poll
a vote that will surprise politicians
of the old school, who will rub their
eyes in establishment when the votes
are cast and the strength of the
young giant is revealed.

THANv,s INFLUENCE.

Too good to hang, and not 1T to as
sociate with lunatics. Truly. Thaw's
plight keeps him in the lime light.
Struggling to save his neck, he
landed in the asylum. The effort OF
his friends to get him out Of the re-
treat where he is held in restraint,
are as nothing compared to the actions
of the man himself within the walls
Of the Institution.
The man who demoralized society
Of sane people, is stated to be unfit
to associate with the insane, as the
report made by the New York Secre-
tary Of State indicates.
So that Thaw's actions within the
asylum will doubtless do more to
bring about his freedom than the con
certed efforts OF his friends on the
outside.
We know that as a sane man he
was bad-and if we accept the YER
dict Of the court that he Is insane,
then we must believe the report of
the secretary of state that as a luna
tic he is equally as d~emoralizing as
when he was supposed to be in his
right mind.

OFFICE HOLDERS MUST PA
THEIR BILLS.


An employe of the government can
not be sued, or rather, II he is sued
his salary cannot be g~arnisheed. and
hence a man who is interruptions,
sometimes gets out Of paying his bills
by inviting his creditors to go hang.
But President Roosevelt has stop
ped that. He has given it out that
the government seeks to retain only
honorable men and women in its en-
ploy.
The dead beat is not wanted.
The man without moral responsible
ity is under the ban, and II complaint
reaches the White House that he has
contracted debts which he will not
pay, he is to be given the option OF
making a settlement with his credit
ors, or getting out of the public serv-
ice, to make room for someone who
appreciates his position by keeping
square with the world.

MURDERS
HIS WIFE, CUTS
BODY TO PIECES

The discovery Of the crime was
due to the suspicious Of the hackman,
George w. Collins, who had in mind
the numerous robberies which have
taken place about Boston recently and
Judging from its weight that the trunk
contained silyerware. he notified the
police.
Collins reported that he had taken
the trunk from the north station, esti-
mating 1t had come in from Sommer-
vile on a local train The hackman
stated he left Jordan and the trunk
this afternoon at z Hancock street.
Sergeant Micheal Crowley was de.
tailed to go to the house and inves-
tigate. Jordan was not in, but the Of
ficer was shown the back Dor of the
second floor, which Jordan had engag-
ed, and found the trunk.
About 500 Jordan returned and
was commanded to open the trunk.
Jordan did not appear nervous or

alarmed but he hesitated to open the
trunk and it was not until after con-
siderable argument that he produced
the key and inserted it in the lock.
Turning his head, Jordan threw up
the cover of the trunk and then sank
back on his knees. burying his face
In his hands and sobbing. Sergeant
Crowley staggered back aghast at the
disclosure, for in the open trunk be-
fore him lay q sickening mass Of hack
flesh, a woman's torso filling the great
er part OF the trunk, while pieces Of.
flesh from other parts Of the body
were stuffed into the corners.
The entire interior of the trunk
was despatched with blood. There
was no covering Of any sort over the
arms.
Jordan submitted to arrest without
protest, and was taken to station No.

address, he declared the Dody IN tine
trunk was that Of his wife. and said
he was perfectly willing TO tell every.

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ASSURED.

49, SSsIOVIN 0SSOG00 vN00OnGOg
While it cannot be said that the
leaders of either of the political par
ties believe in signs, it must be adj
mitted that they watch the returns
from Vermont with more than passing
anxiety.
For the Evergreen state is supposed,
in political circles, to be a v fail
ing barometer, by which the sentiment
OF the country may be gagged.
The state is Republican, but when
ever the majority has dropped be-
low 25,00O in a presidential year, it
has been the rule in the past that
the Democrats have elected their ma
tional ticket. Whenever the majority
has been $4,000 or more the Republi-
cans have been successful.
Thus it is that the returns are
awaited with considerable interest and
quite apart from any superstition that
may attach to the vote, the fact re.
mains that, because the election there
takes place in advance Of other states,
the sentiment of the people OF
that commonwealth at least may be
judged.
IN the first place, one notes thar
there is not the same interest, in the
campaign this year as was evil
dent four years ago. In this respect,
both political parties record a loss IN
the number Of ballots polled, and this
will doubtless De true in other sec
tions.
-Four years ago the country was at
fever heat during the month of Sep.
TENDER. Each side claimed the cleo.
ton by great pluralities, and march
ing clubs and bands held the atten-
ton of the people, while the mails
We're freighted with literature refer
ring to the campaign. The same inter-
est does not attach to the campaign
this year, for the reason that it is &C
cepted as a foregone conclusion, as
the results in the state election in
Vermont seem to indicate, that the
Republican party candidate will be
successful, and this seems to be also
the view of the Democrats who voted
there, since the v tie Of that party
likewise fell of.
Leaving out the superstition that
has hitherto attached to the early
election in Vermont. and measuring
the result by the sentiment Of the
people in the election in that state,
and that of Oregon, where in the cleo
ton last June a Republican victory
was recorded. It may safely be as-
sumed that the majority Of the peo-
pie are for Taft and the party of pro-
lection.
