TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.

The officiousness of government is
illustrated in the case of a member of
the Massachusetts, legislature who has
offered a bill providing for the APP
pointnaents of an inspector of apiarieS
and three deputies (observe the in
evitable three) at IS a day and ex-
penses. The next thing we may ex-
pect is a commission inspect churns,
bedrooms and underclothing, all mat
tiers more or less related to the JOY and
health OF the human family.
After a while, all the noble citizen
will have to do is to sit down and be
governed. He win be rid of every inn
pulse to do anything for himself. He
will sit in stolid Indifference and let
the machinery do the rest. 1t is a poor
program. When the individuality is
knocked out of a man, his real value
is lost. Legislation is doing deal of
that. Every time man turns, he runs
against a law, and the consequence is,
thousands are violated which very fact
debauches the citizenship. There
should be a change of front. The next
man who offers a new bill in the leg
islature-"shoot him on the spot. -

AMERICAN PRINCESS PREDICA-
MENT

Prince 3~iguel, husband of the form
err Anita Stewart, has been declared
placed under "CurateI" The latter
condition to which he is subjected is
particularly humiliating one to a titled
parsonage, inasmuch as he is given the
status of a minor or a lunatic. is de-
prived of his privileges of citizenship
and is entirely in the hands of trustees
appointed to look after him. 1t means
that he cannot continue to live in
gradations.
AS his wife, the former Miss Stewart,
now finds herself in much worse pre-
dicament than others of her country
women who have married foreign til
ties, where the marriage has been
nothing more or less than a barter OF
rank for wealth. She, of course, has
only herself to blame. for she was Wen
aware of Prince MigueFs reputation
and she married him with her eyes
wide open.-Philadelptia Inquirer.

DESERVES No REWARD.

Here is something congress ShouIo
quelch in the beginning-the giving
of a reward to Peary for his claim
that he discovered the north pole.
We doubt now if Peary ever was at
the north pole. If he was. there is
no way of proving it. If he could
prove that he was there. what bene-
fit is his discovery anyway? 1t is
absolutely no benefit to the country or
mankind.
The north pole is a myth and no
one should be rewarded for claim
ing to have discovered an imaginary
place or ona that is of no benefit to
the country or mankind.
There was a raw Saturday in the
subcommittee of the house commit
tee on naval affairs because two
members of the National Geographic
society appeared before the commit
tee with the proofs of the so-called
discovery and asked that Pearv be
suitably rewarded. These representa-
tives also asked the committee to keep
the proofs secret This caused the
row. A couple of the members OF the
committee refused to consider the mat
ter unless the proofs should be made
public Three members were willing
to keep tie proofs secret
For the service Peary has done he
has already been amply rewarded The
money he has made because of his last
trip north, has fully paid him for the
sufferings he experienced and any BEN
efits he may have brought to our ceun-
try or the human race.---Arkansas City

SO often we do some little thing or
more often fail to do it, and some heart

If one would appreciate just how

again But there was sickness at the
sons home and in his concern over his

usual epistle, until it was too late for
1t to make the mothers heart glad on

to the long distance telephone, got
communication with his father in the
distant city. explained the circum-

letter would have reached the mother a
few days later and she would have I'M

she would have suffered the temporary
pang of failing to get her usual letter.
A little thing--yet the failure to do just
such little things has caused many a
needless sorrow. When there is so
much Of unavoidable grief, so many
small tragedies that may not be avert

Porter went into the barber shop OF
Joseph Robinson in Fifth street for i
shave The barber cut him a couple
times. His natural annoyance was
turned to horror when he realized that
the barber. with a maniacal glitter in
his eye, was deliberately nicking the
cut spots with the keen edged blade.
He attempted to leave the chair when
the barber grappled with him and
there ensued a hand-to-hand struggle
before the aged porter interfered. He
finally escaped, bleeding from a dozen
gashes. Then a policeman broke in
and overpowered the barber, who, in
vestigation proved, had gone suddenly
insane.
