Ihe Long Harb0red Resentment Ihat
of Mr.. Reid. All of them, however,
we're promptly confirmed by the SEN
ate excepting the nomination of Murat
Halstead as Minister to Germany.
That nomination was defeated, and al
though Halstead with spendid cour-
age and nerve completely concealed
his bitter disappointment and sense
of humiliation, yet his intimate
friends knew that he grieyed deeply
over his rejection.
There never was public explanation
of the cause of the opposition that led
to the rejection of Mr.. Halsteads nom
ination by the Senate. Chauncey NJ.
] Depew, however, some years later in
/ speaking of this action said
-'Murat Halstead was rejected by the
Senate for Minister to Germany be-
cause of certain Senator; | presume
1t will never be known TO the public
who the particular Senator was. At
any rate, this man had for a long time
cherished a deep resentment against
Halstead because of something Hal
stead had printed in his paper-the
Cincinnati Commercial-about that
, Senator. For years the Senator bided
his time to get even. But not until the
nomination of Halstead as Minister 70
Germany was sent to the Senate by
President Harrison did this Senator
see any way of getting even with Hal
stead Then, with great but craftily
concealed glee he made up his mind tc
do all he could to have the nomination
| rejected by the Senate; and his deter
mination to accomplish this-end was
only strengthened when it became
known to him that Halstead was great
ly gratified that the president unso'
licited had named him for so distin.
guished a post as that of Minister tC
Germany
80 the Senator went quietly t
work and found 2 or 3 colleagues
} who had also at some earlier TIM
been more or less severely criticised
by Halstead in his paper. With tnes'
= men as nucleus this Senator was abl'
to perfect sufficient opposition Il
make it certain that Halstead's nomi
nation would be rejected when it cam'
up for decision-which il was.
1T was a grievous blow to Halstea'
he felt that the honor would hav
rounded out his career splendidly, ant
he was especially humiliated becaus

Chestnuts Galore.

Baltimore American.
Fine chestnut weather, with winds
blowing at a rate to send the burrs
to the ground with force enough to
scatter the brown nuts over the mossy
soil, and a season prolific in chestnuts
has caused the scattering of city folk
throughout the walks and ways OF ma
ture by hundreds. The chestnuts are
in abundance and the gatherers Of
them are almost as many as the nuts.
Let the stores of the most delightful
OF all native nuts found in the mar
kets and In the commission houses
show that the gathering OF chestnuts
is profitable employment. and the
quantities must yield a profit to those
who made a business or batting the
limbs and bringing down the nuts.
The old times Of the open fire place
and the roasting pan are not yet
gone by, or rather they are being
revived with the popularity of the
open fre place IN modern cottages.
But the sentimental incident of the
fire place is not a necessary feature
OF chestnut roasting and those who
have the nuts and, the disposition 20
clip bit of the hull so as to allow
for expansion, can carry on the pro-
cess Of toasting the edible contents
with ample satisfaction even though
without the fireplace accessory.
Many will store the chestnuts away
for winter. In the country they are
put in bags and swung IN the chin
ney where the smoke Is supposed 10
preserve them and 10 destroy the
chestnut worms, but sprinkling them
over with salt answers every purpose.
II Is something fine to get out chest
nuts at the Christmas season. after
they have been sweetened and mel
lowed and to enjoy them in a state OF
perfection.

no CHANCE NOR INIrNcrInN

A federal court injunction issued on
Saturday restrains the Public Utilities
Commission from compelling the sale
OF strip tickets on one of the local
railways until the case is decided.
Everyone knows that If an effort was
made to compel a reduction of electric
lighting rates by law, the same pro-
cedure would be taken. But if the

More than any President except
Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Harri-
son trusted the newspaper writer's and
he had a higher appreciation of the
value of the American newspaper than
any other president excepting possibly
Roosevelt
1t was in part for this reason tina,
Harrison took the unexpected and very
unusual step of naming for very prom
inent diplomatic posts some Of the
leading newspaper men Of his time. He
nominated Whitelaw Reid Minister to
France. He nominated Murat Halstead
Minister to Germany; and from a sen
timental reason named Robert 7. Lin

Colonel Fred d. Grant Minister to Aus

Many advocates Of conservation think that the
best kind of conservation would be to reduce the
losses from which the country suffers because of
fire. There is a prodigouS destruction Of wealth
in this country annually because Of fire. The loss
amounts to S2ooOoo,0o0. No wonder that in many
cities there is vigorous agitation for preventing
heavy fire losses which are a drain that no other
country not so rich the United States could
stand for a long period

COMMISSION WITH MUCH POWER,

A MONG the measures approved by the voters
n of California at their recent election is one
providing for the appointment by the Governor of
a railroad commission with large powers. All pub
lie utilities of the will be under the jursde-
ton Of the commission although municipalities
may retain control of their own public services
and corporations as they see fit.
The new state commission will have authority
to regulate passenger and freight rates and to veto
rates that may be fixed by the companies. None
of its decisions will be subjected TO court review
unless the companies affected set up the plea of
con6scation of their property, and this is what
they would do if the rulings of the commission
we're too hard on them. AS affecting the railroads
a clause is 10 be inserted into the constitution for
bidding higher relative rate for a shorter than
for longer haul.
The rate for the long and short haul is a subject
that greatly agitates western cities in particular
Denver now has such problem. The distance
from New York TO Chicago is 1000 miles, and il is
the same from Newport News TO St. Louis, and the
same from Denver TO Galveston, Texas
The average charge for hauling 100 pounds-of
freight from New York 10 Chicago is hfty-six
cents, from Newport News TO ST. Louis hfty-ive
cents But from Galveston to Denver it is one
dollar and thirty cents.
The business men of Denver are perturbed be-
cause of this discrimination, but the civic organiza-
tions of the city have expressed willingness to
accept compromise with the company rather than
take the matter before the Interstate Commerce
Commission which is supposed TO settle just such
points as that involved in this case.

WANT PINK CHEEKS-RED


Some unfortunate men and women
are prone to wonder why some of
their friends are blessed with an
abundance of color-pink cheeks and
red lips-while theirs are always
colorless. The reason for this last
named condition is-there is not
enough red blood corpuscle in the
blood-under a microscope the blood
is thin and watery. The flesh is
fiabby TO. Well known physicians
assert that the regular administra-
ton for several months, of three
grain hypo-nuclane tablets Will great

beneficial. For self-administration,
