away from the government reservation
at Fort Washington. Several months
ago, it is stated. a soldier stationed at
Fort Washington gave Myers an army
o%vercoat as collateral for a debt of 81

coat was missed and the company first
sergeant made an investigation. He
found the o at Myers place, and at
his request it was turned Owe to him.
The matter was reported to the war
department by the officer in charge at
Fort Washington. and the var depart
ment called the attention of the United
States district attorney at Baltimore
to the case. Prosecution in the I'm
tied States distric court followed, and
at last term at Baltimore Myers en-
tered a plea of guilty. A Inc of $1,000,

statutes, was imposed, and Myers paid

Whittier,s Simple Life.

UFrom the Washington ID. c. Times.)
If Whittier had cared for money or
society he could nave had his w way
in Boston; but he preferred the sim
pie life to b. found out of town. What
he might have regarded as a state OF
wealth did not overtake him until his
sixtieth year, when he received $4,000
for the first edition of "SnoWbound.'
and it was ten years later before he
Welded to the wish of Bostonians to
do him honor. Thirty years ago last
Tuesday he went to Boston to be the
guest of honor at a Inner given by
the publishers of the Atlantic Month
w; but we are told he came reluct-
antly.
Here was a man born and reared In
hard circumstances: who made slippers
at a profit of 8 cents a pair while he
enjoyed his brief term at Haverhill
Academy: who had little liking for So
cial or academic pursuits: who spent
more of his time away from the So
called literary c%enters, and yet VINO
lived to enjoy such fame as has come
to not more thar a dozen other New
~Englanders. The secret of his rare sue
cess is not hard to find. He was the
poet and evangel of a great liberal era.
1t was his principles as much as his
verses that made Whittier famous n
influential.

Elyina Letter Boxes.

The Hungarian postal department
has devised a flying letter box to re-
lieve the Buda-Pesth postmen, who are
few in number and nav hundreds OF
flights of stairs to climb daily in the
great tenement houses of that pictur-
esque city. For the elevator, or lift
as it is called in the old world, is not
n of the commonplace Of everyday
existence on the remote Asiatic bor-
ders of Europe, and heretofore the de-
livery of letters to the tenants on the
upper floors rof these ancient buildings
base made the Buda-Pesth postman's
life a most fatiguing N
The new letter box, however, can be
sent up to its destination from the
ground floor by a spring. 1t stops at
the floor required. and remains there
until it is emptied, or until the next
delivery, when the postman can, by
touching a button. bring it down again.
each box contains the necessary num-
Der Of lockers, each fitted with a safe
ty lock, according to the number of
residents. The boxes are moved up
and down by electricity, and probably
bear a close resemblance, except in
size. to the flying cash boxes now COM
monty used in the larger shops of AM
erican cities.

LIFE IN POLITICS.

There is much dienified writing be-
ing done at this time to prove that a
crime has peer committed by some re-
publicans in the retirement of Con-
gressmen Cousins and Birdsall. Plain
~ speaking. the charge is that Cum
minis men have again been very, very
wicked. Lamentatinn Is given voice
in many a newspaper.
But what harm has been done?
These men had been fully honored. The
way was open for them to enter the
primaries. If there were republicans
in their district inclined to support
some other candidate, or disinclined to
support them, is not that the way Of
all politics? Why should it be strange
that after men had served many terms
in congress other men should covet he
honors? And after many years of con-
tinuous service, why should it be con-
sidered an unhealthy condition of poll
tics that voters should turn to new
men in preference? When the old has
to give way to the new in life, it al
WAYS seems cruel to the old, whether
it be the son succeeding the father or
the sapling displacing the giant of the
forest, u it is as nature intended it
should be. 1t is growth, and growth
is life. Would we have our politics
dead?

One Lesson From the Panic.

Philadelphia 1nquirer.)
The lesson to be impressed upon the
public, and especially the banking fra
ternity, is that banking is an indie
pendent profession. The man who does
not give his efforts wholly and singly
to his bank is not fitted for his posi-
ton. The opportunities to use power
and money to advance personal for
tunes are many. They are often used
without loss. but it seems certain that
there are few men who ear step a lit
tie outside the plain path of duty and
not go a good ways farther than they
originally intended. Primarily, the
troubles of last fall were due to NOR
nous speculation, and the speculation
was possible because bankers were
either specializing on their own ac-
count or were allowing spectators to
use the funds which ought to have
been used for legitimate business only.

WOULD BEAT GOOD WITH 1REwIn.

AS predicted in the Times-Republi-
a several weeks ago would be done,
the standpat faction in republican pol
tiles has brought out its candidate for
to defeat Mr.. Good. The con-
ference was held in Cedar Rapids, and
MI, Whipple, of Benton county, had
ambitions, but it was decided that
there was only n way to beat Good,
and that was to bring out a man in his
own county. so Mr.. Whipple was re-
quested to stay out, which he has
to make the fight. The standpatters of
the east end of The district are thus
organized to accomplish their pur-
pose. There was never a cleaner cut
issue.
The republican vote in Cedar and
Jones and Benton counties is about
equal to the republican vote in Grun-
dy and Tama and Marshall counties. In
the former group it is overwhelm-
lnSly ana III Tue ldlleI group
it is equally as strongly progressive.
The vote in Lin county will determ-
inc the issue and the factional lineup
there, has been such as to favor Mr..
Trewin, while the personal popularity
and individual merit of the candidate
favors Mr.. Good. Trewin, when in the
state senate, was one of he ablest
and most influential lieutenants that
the old Hubbard-B Blythe regime ever
had, and he will have to face his leg
islative record in this campaign.
The situation, however, should be
so apparent as to convince favorite
son candidates that this is no oppor-
tune time for them. The standpatters
of the east end Of the district nave de-
termined to center on Trewin, of Ce-
dar Rapids, to zeal Good, Of Cedar
Rapids, and there is no other purpose.
Good came out to beat Cousins when
Trewin lacked either the desire or the
courage. Cousins turned tail and ran,
then Trewin was brought out by a
conference for the purpose of beating
Good. 1t is all legitimate. 1t is poll
tics. Play the game.

THE CASE or CALEB POWERS.

People who have read the newspaper
and magazine accounts of the many
trials Of Caleb Powers in Kentucky,
charged with being an accessory to
the killing Of The alleged governor
elect of that state, man years ago,
will be surprised to know that, even
tho the verdicrs of the lower courts
have been set aside by the supreme
court of that state three times, the
young mar still remains in prison de-
MED bail and exhausted in
with which to fight his case. Ar ap-
peal is to be made in every state in he
union for petitions addressed to the
present governor of Kentucky asking
for the pardon of Powers.
Noted men in all parts of the coun-
ty have expressed their opinions freely
upon this case among which are the
following:
Il believe you to be an innocent
man and you have suffered far too
much already for a crime you never
committed."-Bishop C. C. McCabe.
The trials of Caleb Powers make
an exhibition of misconduct on the
part of administrative officers con-
nected with these trials which may
we'll shock all who love justice.'-Su-
preme Court of the United States.

aghast at the iniquity practiced in the
name of justice at the trial of Drey-

him to be an innocent man.'-John III.
Leathers, Cashier National Banking
Company, Louisville, KY.
The Powers case is not the case OF
| Caleb Powers alone. 1t is potentially
the case of every kentuckian. Here
is a man who by the sheer influence
of political control. working thru the
courts of law and corrupting their ev-
cry process, has been three times con-
victed of a capital crime on evidence
which no unprecedented court could pos
sibly find sufficient."-McClure's Mag
azine.
Il do not believe that a man charg-
ed with a political o~ffense, or with an
offense originating in a political con-
test, who is tried by a jury composed
wholly of his political opponents, can
have a fair and impartial trial within
the meaning of the law. Those con-
versant with current history have
seen a highly civilized, and generous
people under stress of racial passion
condemn without proof, a soldier
| charged with a political crime, and
sentence him without mercy to a pun
ishment worse than death. and yet
when the storm had spent its force.
that judgment was annulled. the vic
tim released and all the world now
knows his innocence."-Judge Barker.
a Goebel democrat member of the
Kentucky Court of Appeals.
1t seems strange that the people of
Kentucky have not found some way
in which to free their courts of the
suspicion of political prejudice in the
trial of this man. The present gov
ernor could contribute notabl, to the
majestysof the law if he would submit
the evidence before a special tribunal
of governors of other states n per-
nit their volunteer verdict to govern
him in granting or withholding a par
dor for the prisoner. The land OF the
night-riders needs to do something to
regain the respect of the country at
large.

A case which has dragged thru the
courts of Massachusetts for 122 years
has been finally closed by the decree
of Judge Grant in the probate court,
directing William W. Risk, public adj
ministrator in nine estates, to pay to
the state treasurer the sum of S10,356.
The estates represented were those of
nine men, creditors of the estate of
Ellis Gray, a Boston merchant, who
died in 1856, and whose estate was in
process of administration for fifty
years. While the estate vas still in
the probate court in 1888, deposits
were made in a bank by order of the
court for the benefit of the nine cred
itors. but neither they nor their heirs
could ever be found. The deposits ac-
cumulated to $10,356.
