A LESSON FOR US.

The people of the United States are
inclined to look upon our South Amer
lean neighbors and their efforts at
Joke. There are times, however,
when they should be considered Sc
riously: when they could teach us an
important lesson If we were not too
smart to learn. Down in Peru. for
instance, the government was threat
ened with a deficit, which are lately
becoming quite popular with the lead
ing powers Peru isn't leading pow
err and didn't like the idea. The
Peruvians, however, didn't raise the
taxes or the tariff, as ADLER statesmen
would have done. Instead, they re-
duced the salaries of supreme court
justices. ministers of the cabinet, and
other fat jobs about the capital. You
never hear of anything like that IN
this land of the free and home of the
brave. Perhaps you would feel bet
ter if you did.-Atchison Globe.

PEARY ONLY HUMAN.
The feeling against Peary is due
to the fact that when he returned to
civilization and learned of Cooks
claims, he Immediately began to de-
nounce the latter as an impostor, and
to say unprintable things about him.
Then the newspapers assailed Peary,
and have been after him ever since.
1t is true that his conduct was un-
mannerly and reprehensfble, but II
should be remembered that the DIS
appointment was something terrific,
when he learned that another claimed
to have forestalled him. Peary's one
ambition in life was to be the dis
coverer of the Pole; he had been
struggling to obtain that goal for
twenty-five years; is it wonderful,
then, that he went up in the air and
said unladylike things when he hearo
of Cooks alleged achievement? the
Gazette was among the first to hand
him a Crushing Rebuke when ne
