SPIES OF PRIVATE HATRED.
Use President Roosevelt Has Made Of
the Secret Service.

Certain secret service agents, paid
by the people of the United States,
were used by a president of the Uni.
ted States as spies or private detectives
in an investigation that was prompted
by personal hatred.
The discoveries of these secret
service agents in the case of Senator
Tillman either were such as to re.
quire the prosecution of Senator TIL
man by the government authorities or
they did not warrant legal proceedings
against him.
If the evidence collected by the
spies who bounded the man whom
Mr.. Roosevelt hated was sufficient to
warrant his prosecution under the
laws of the United States, then Mr.
Roosevelt not only failed in his sworn
duty but he also gave the lie to his
own professions as contained in a
message addressed to congress five
days ago, when he said:
IF | had proof of such corruption
affecting any member of the house in
any matter as to which the federal
government has jurisdiction action
would at once have been brought, as
was done in the cases Of Senators
Mitchell and Burton and Representa-
tives Williamson, Hermann and
briggs, at different times since I have
been president This would simply
be doing my duty in the execution and
enforcement of the laws without re.
Spect to persons"
If, on the other hand, the investiga
tions of the spies of personal hatred
afforded no ground for official proceed
ings against Mr.. Tillman, but merely
revealed circumstances discreditable
to him short of criminality, then the
publication of the results Of the spy
ing by Mr. Roosevelt for the gratifica
tion of private spite is an offense diff
ficult to characterize adequately. 1t
is an abuse Of official power fairly de-
serving impeachment; it is personal
abuse of official opportunity combin-
ing the elements of cowardce and au.
dacity, and without precedent, we be-
lieve, in the career of any gentleman
who has ever inhabited the White
HOuse.-New York Sun.

NEhjnu to Fear,

If the sole result of the secret serv-
ice operations against hitherto unac-
cused members of congress is to lodge
an abortive charge at the door of Sen
ator Tillman the president might we'll
have used the federal detectives on
some other mission
If this is the net spoils of the chase
it Is dCubly unfortunate. First, be-
cause Senator Tillman has done the
country some real service, and even
has enlisted heartily in support of
good Roosevelt measures, although a
Democrat, with no love for either
Roosevelt or Roosevelts party. Sec
ondy, because Senator Tillman was
notoriously a personal enemy of the
president, and whatever indictment
Mr.. Roosevelt might bring against him
would lose weight by reason of that
fact.
But it does not seem that Tillman
has committed any crime, or he surely
would have been under prosecution
for it by this time. Inasmuch as the
secret service operators did not bring
in Foraker for his relations with
Standard Oil, and failed to entrap any
other members of congress constantly
engaged in serving special interests, it
certainly seems that, whatever any
members of congress might have to
fear from letter-file thieves there was
no real reason for any of them to fear
| the secret service.

The President and the Tariff.

While the president has been
preaching on every Imaginable text eX-
cept the tariff text, he has known, if
he knows anything surely, and is not
mentally a mere muddle of texts and
assumptions, that the tariff was en-
richng the trusts and paying twice as
much to the millionaire as to the Gus
tom-house officer. Had he really wish
ed to benefit the people and sacrifice
his own vanity a little, he would have
used some of his abusive language
against the tariff thieves and hogs
whom Mr.. Adams has so forcibly com
mended to his notice. A little of the
rhetoric wasted on Gov. Haskell and
Delavan Smith could have been use
fully employed against the men who
filled his campaign chest in 1904, and
who rushed to the rescue of Mr.. Taft
last summer. No American politician
can long pose as reformer who does
not discover and pronounce against
our tariff as the cause of most of our
plutocratic evils-either the remote
or the contributing or the direct
cause of that hurtful access of the
millionaire spirit from which We have
suffered since Mckinley first beat

Alaska, where Harry Pride, we'll

tivation of foxes. Mr.. Pride has estab
lished his fox farm on scientific lines
and breeds only the variety of fox that
produces the most valuable fur. Most
of the stock on his farm now is of the
silver tip and silver gray varieties.
"a fox skin depends largely upon its
shade and coloring," says Mr.. Pride,
and by scientific breeding | expect to
produce only the very best furs. An
ordinary fox-skin is frequently worth
no more than so cents, while the silver
gray variety frequently sells for 5000
to $500 per skin, and has been known
to bring as high as $1,000.
THE fox is a very intelligent animal,
and is easily tanned. They can be even
taught to perform, but this takes con-
siderable time and patience. Some of
the animals on Hound island have be-
come SO tame that they will eat out

LEARNING FROM A NEGRO.

When he hauled cotton TO the mar.
ket the other day. this negro got a
better price per pound than our white
farmers have been getting. because
the buyer said IL was about the best
bale that he had seen this season.
The old negro never let's a bale lie
out in the weather. but keeps IL
housed. and when he gins his cotton
he always instructs the ginneT to put
good bagging on 1t.
Il have always noticed said the
old darkey In talking TO US. that any
thing that looks nice and good. no
matter what IL is. fetches more money.
The good bagging that put on my
cotton costs twenty cents bale ex.
