CLEANING UP BEGINS.

Paris, Feb. 2.-The improvement
in the general situation continues.
and the spirits of the Parisians are
rising as the waters fall. Street
hawkers are selling postcard pict-
ures Of the food and the boulevards
are once more gay with rejoicing
thousands.
With the crisis past the mercurial
French temperament faces the cub
sidiary troubles with a light heart,
but the papers already are sounding
a note of warning that the lesson
must not be forgotten; that meas
ures must be taken to avoid a repe-
tition of the disaster. This can be
done by the construction of cutoff
either in the way of a canal or a
large underground conduit around
Paris.
Several steam trans today resum-
ed the work of pumping out the
subway, and considerable progress
is being made in the sections where
the flood is lowest.
Public and private benevolence
continues to respond to the call of
the sufferers.
Some of the suburban towns viii ch
have, been deprived of light were
provided this evening with gas from
the Paris mains The work of disin-
fection in the streets has already

NEGRO FUGITIVE
With Murder Cap

Brown Caudle, negro who killed
a white man at Providence, KY,
was arrested by Policeman Denton
and Workhouse Keeper McCord
Monday. An officer from Webster
county came for him Tuesday to take
him back to Dixon. Caudle claims
that he killed the man in self-defense
in row over a game of craps, that
arose from the fact that he was the
winner in the game. He was very
much averse to being taken back,
fearing mob violence.

Recognizing Portugal.

England's proposal that the various
powers act simultaneously in reeog-
nizing the new provisional government
OF Portugal is timely and probably
will be accepted. It implies a sugges-
ton for early recognition, too, and this
also seems to meet with general ap-
proval.
While precipitste action at such a
time would be most unfortunate it is
nevertheless necessary to establish re-
lations with the republic, provisional
though they be, as soon as the circum-
stances OF the situation will warrant.
Every nation has something at stake
in a condition such as now exists. 1t
would be safe neither to commercial
nor political interests to delay recog-
milton very long. At present we have
no diplomatic relations with Portugal
since the government with which we
we're in communication has been over
thrown. The republicans there, to be
sure, may not hold their power, but
until they are superseded they form a
national authority and if during the
period of their control this or any
other country had relations with
Portugal that called into question any
of the rights of international inter
course it would find itself at a disad-
vantage to be out Of touch diplomatic
ally with the ruling powers A score
Of emergencies OF this kind might
arise. But even the ordinary business
transactions are important enough tC
demand an early recognition.
England's idea of all the powers
joining in such recognition contem
plates a business-like method of pro
cedure. 1t is quite probable it will b'
accepted, since it would seem, under
present conditions, that no country
would seek TO gain or lose an advan
tage in such an event. If it is not acteC
on soon, the United States should e

Lies That Won't Hold.

Feeling the senatorship, which he
thought he had. slipping through his
fingers. Congressman Hitchcock tries
to brazen il out with lies that won't
hold.
In spite Of the documentary evil
dence he repeats that the $4,000 note
which he repudiated behind the
statute Of limitations was not state
money borrowed from BARLEY. but
was a loan from a banker secured by
a worthless second mortgage on prop
erty later lost under foreclosure
This explanation does not at the
facts.
The $4,000 in question was Dor
rowed by Hitchcock December %,
1893. The worthless second mort
gage was not recorded until September
25, 1895.
The $4,000 was borrowed by Hitch
cock from BARLEY through a banker
merely as a blind. II was state money
in Bartleys custody at the time and
was checked out OF Bartleys account
forthwith, as the books of that bank
will show and the banker will testify,
The banker was not at that time loan
ing his own money to Hitchcock, then
to him total stranger, on unsecured
paper.
The worthless second mortgage was
merely an decentralization appear
ing of record two years later, when
the note was renewed. The note was
renewed in the name of the banker
merely to cover up again the fact that
it was state money being thus farmed
out by BARLEY. Mr.. Hitchcock dealt
with BARLEY and not with the banker
from whom he had no such favors
coming
why lie to make q bad matter
worse?
The $4,000 note represented state
money loaned to Hitchcock by BARLEY
while he was state treasurer, and is
still unpaid.

Where We Fall Down.

An Austrian baroness who was not
permitted to puff her cigarette in
fashionable New York cafe vents her
displeasure by saying that except in
this respect the United States eclipses
all other countries"
And here we had been deluding
ourselves with the notion that it was
in such respects-that it was because
we frowned upon such customs as our
women smoking in public places-that
we excelled. If there is a point from
which in this respect a comparison is
to be made 1t probably must be that
our womenfolk do not wish to smoke
in public places and that il is not
their habit to smoke in private places.
The view of the baroness, who sug-
gests that smoking in a cafe by a
woman is no more Objectionable, so
far as the smoke is concerned, than by
man. places the matter upon a moral
ground and certainly the average cafe
is not actuated from that standpoint.
The whole trouble seems to be that
the baroness, undoubtedly an estima-
BILE woman, failed to readjust her
views upon the subject of personal
liberty and properties TO our American
standards. She cites that in Austria
she has seen the emperor's grand
daughter smoke in public and adds,
"And she is a perfect lady" And no
body is prepared to think otherwise
OF the baroness merely because of this
little habit. It all amounts to a diff
ference in tastes and customs in diff
ferent countries.
! Now, for instance, IN the United
/ States, as the baroness observed, q
woman may go into the most aristo-
cratic cafe in the land and drink wine
until it becomes necessary for her
friends to assist her to her carriage
and what she says or does during the
process is not to be reckoned as often
sive. Still, the average American will
scarcely feel like coming to the baron
ess' view as to the propriety of women
smoking cigarettes, so much as he will
to the view of condemning what
women now do in some cases, and
whether the cigarette is smoked in pri-
vate or public win not have much eff
feet upon his mind. We simply have
not yet, as a people, educated our
selves up to the point where we car
appreciate the virtue OF women smok

The Air Army.

John Barry Ryan founder OF the
United States Aeronautical reserve,
makes the remarkable statement that
this body of men now numbers 800,
and is scattered through every state
in the union. II amounts to nothing
less than a militia OF aeronauts ready
to defend their country in the air in
case of war. The thing comes upon
us with such suddenness that we find
ourselves scarcely prepared for its
force. Ii reminds MS OF the tremen-
dOus momentum this aerial navigation
mania has attained and suggests the
possibility of real. practical utility
within a very short time
But all this and the idea of carrying
on war from the clouds might still
seem visionary il we did not know
how it appealed to the most matter-of,
fact men. Here comes Congressman
Hull OF Iowa, chairman of the house
committee on military affairs, with
/ this statement;

suppose it Lad Been Reversed !

In the recent republican primary in
Nebraska the nomination for United
States senator was contested by FIVE
candidates All the candidates when
filing to have their names put on the
primary ballot we're required to sub
scribe under oath TO a pledge to abide
by the result, of the primary. When
the returns were in it was found that
Senator Elmer J. Burkett had been re-
nominated by many more votes than
we're received by all the others COM
bined, his closest competitor being
Charles o. Whedon. Instead of abid-
ing by the result of the primary, how
ever, Mr.. Whedon continues to write
letters for dissemination through DEM
ocratic newspapers attacking the sue
cessful nominee with a view of defeat
ing him at the polls.
We state these facts in this bald
fashion simply to lay the foundation
for the question, Suppose it had been
reversed? Suppose in the primary
Mr.. Whedon had been nominated and
Mr. Burkett defeated by a decisive
vote against which no fraud or manip-
ulation could be imputed? Suppose,
Notwithstanding his solemn oath to
abide by the result of the primary
Senator Burkett had, nonetheless, by
voice and pen proceeded to assail Mr..
Whedon as the party nominee and to
urge his defeat? Suppose all this to
have happened and try to imagine
what Mr.. Whedon and his friends
would be saying about Senator
! Burkett?

The death OF State Railway Com
missioner Cowgirl, forcing the people
TO choose another in his place in less
than two years after he was indicted
into office, is reminder that some
thing else ought to be taken into con-
sideration in filling a place in this
most important body where experience
counts for almost as much as courage
and honesty. and that is a reasonable
assurance that the man chosen will
live out the six years. Except when
an incumbent is reelected, advanced
age or physical inirmity should be a
bar to aspiration to this place. Candi-
date Hayden, on the democratic ticket
is over so, and an old man in more
ways than one. He has no special
familiarity with the work deyolving

him a long time TO learn, IL he would

he would die in ONCE and certainly be

The number OF voluntary applications from

in the year 19lt-t2 two and perhaps three
consecutive compulsory classes may be
arranged. Ten weeks absence from regi-
