The conviction of Daniel J. OReily of New York.
who is prominent member of the bar, for having re-
ceved stolen goods almost conclusive evidence of the
fact that the American is strongly inclined to get the
money at any cost. In other words he is thoroughly
money mad and will take any kind of desperate chance
to get it.
1t cost Senator Lormer over $780, 900 to be elected
to the United States senate so declared Senator La
Follett. That pretty big figure for the inter
ests of the country to pay for SENATOR but they
may have thought him more valuable than any other
they had in the senate, and good things always
high.
COL Blethen has had long run for his money but
he finally caught. The audacty of the grand jury
indictng him struck the colonel with such force that
he put the picture of the entire jury in the Times that
the people might the weakings who dared to cast
their vote in favor of an Indictment against him.
In order to justify the raise of Undertaken Noce's
bill from Sc $ for the buryng of county paupers the
commissioners have passed resolution that paupers
shall be given better buria and therefore raised the
amount for the to $11. That's another way of skin
ming the tax payers for the fellows in the ring.
The grand jury did not take the same view of the

would have to see few more hardship days.
In refusing to regulate City Jaler Corbett the city
council has probably acted we'll under the law but
those councimen that voted to not regulate the old
reprobate must know that he is disgrace the com.

That blanket indictment for conspiracy predicted

Joe BIetnen, the only white Blethen in the bunch,
has been accused of crime by the grand jury, thus
proving what this paper has always maintained Joe is
the only real man among the Blethens.
Judge Main may have been at one time elder in
why he could not now sit judge in the trial of the
men indicted by the grand jury.
1t is to be hoped that the county commissioners will
op off about 100000 of the unnecessary load the
tax payers are forced to carry in the shape of political
henchmen
Senator Lorimer that angel without wings from
Illinois, must feel after all that the money he spent
for his election to the U. S. senate not money well
spent.
From the dirty appearance of the King county

Dream of American Catholics May
at Last Be Realized.

A national Catholic foreign missionary
seminary will soon be established in this
country, according to Rev. James +.
Walsh of Boston, who has been in Wash
ington during the last few days in con-
Sultation with the apostolic delegate and
several visiting archbishops and bishops.
The idea of such an institution, to train
young men for mission work in foreign
fields, has long been the dream of lead
ing propagandiSts of Catholicism. Father
Walsh and Rev. Thomas F. Price of
Nazareth, n c., were sent abroad last
spring to obtain the formal authorization
of the project by the heads Of the church.
They had interviews with a number of
the cardinals and also with the Pope
himself, Awho warmly approved the SUBJ
ject.
Father Walsh will give his entire time
in the future to the establishment of the
seminary, it is said. The curriculum of
the new seminary will include the regular
college training, supplemented with spe-
cial courses given with especial reference
to the missionary work to be followed
by the students.

The Takoma Park Citizens Association
has decided to ask Congress at the COM
ing session to ascertain the actual phys
cal value of all of the street railway
property in the District, to the end that
the government may act wisely when
later confronted with the question of mu-
nicipal ownership of the local railways.
The foregoing was the substance of a
resolution presented by j. A. LIE Clerc
and unanimously adopted at meeting of
that association last night in Takoma
Hall. Copies OF the resolution were or
dered sent to the District Commissioners
and to the chairmen of the House and
Senate District committees.
Mr.. lie Clerc prefaced his remarks by
calling attention to the action of the
convention of street railway managers at
Atlantic City in adopting resolutions
which. he declared, We're intended to
flank any movements for universal trans
fers in the District. He referred to the
street railway situation in Cleveland,
Ohio. and the reduction of fare to 3
cents, with 1 cent additional for trans
fers, for one year, with the provision that
if the companies did not pay per cent
on their investment in that period, then
