For an Idle Moment.

Robert Herrick, an author, praised in
an after dinner speech in Chicago the
philanthropy of the American million
aire.
Our millionaires, with all their
faults" he said. "are in their charities
the most liberal men in the world. We
should be glad that no American fash
lonable preacher can say of his rich
parishiOners what once heard a London
fashionable preacher say from the pulpit
very bitterly.
"Our upper classes" the preacher
sneered, don't give according to their
means, but according to their meanness.
A member of the International Prison
Commission once inspected Jail in
Kansas, and being much impressed with
the appearance and behavior of the pris-
oners, took the accession to express his
approval to the warden.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

Many will fail to see any good
reason why the state should make
either a small or a large appropria-
ton to aid the rich lumber COM
panies in getting rid of their cut
over lands in the northern part of
the state. Should the lands be
put upon the market at reasonable
price, there will be no difficulty of
disposing of the lands and the
country will be settled up and
made to blossom as the rose. The
taxpayers should not be asked to
assist in unloading the land for the
benefit of rich corporations, who
would lose nothing in giving the
land away, at least a part of it to
actual settlers.
The GAINESVILLE Recorder thinks
that the Milwaukee Journal is re-
sponsible to some extent for the
success of the Social Democrats
and present conditions in that city
for the paper, "spieled' for the
Social Democrats in session and
out of session for many moons.
The object no doubt, was to break
up the ring composed of republi-
cans and democrats which ran the
city to suit themselves regardless
of the welfare of the people, and

The question may be asked and
1t is pertinent: Why does the
United States seek to save American
soldiers of fortune who Join the
intserrectos in Mexico, and are cap
tured by the regular troops? They
take their own lives in their hands
when they take up arms against
the Mexican government and are
not entitled to protection, nor are
the American capitalist who invest
their money in that country entitled
to any more protection than if they
were citizens of Mexico.
There are just two classes of
men in the United States Senate.
Those to whom a salary of ~. 500
and mileage is mighty good thing
and those who have been able to
buy a seat for the honor of being
senator. Among the first class
mentioned, there is only few COM
paratively speaking fit to be men,
bers of the senate and of the other
class, the least said the better. To
day, there is not a real statesman
IN congress -they are now mostly
scrubs politicians and the people
are to blame for existing conditions.

of the leading ordnance experts in the
United States. For many years past
he has been stationed at New York
city, assisting the big transportation
companies in the consideration of the
best methods of safely carrying high
explosives.
Last spring the officials of the War
! Department concluded that Colonel
Dunn's services were greatly needed
in the ordnance department of tho
army as the result of the death of the
commandant of the Rosk Island, ILL.,,
arsenal. Accordingly he was detached
from his special duty at New York
and ordered to Washington for duty as
assistant to the chief of ordnance. The
transportation companies were I'M
willing to lose his services and Colonel
Dunn himself desired to complete cer-
tain investigations then under way.
To accomplish this he applied to the
War Department for permission to re.
tire under the thirty years service
clause.
His application was rejected by the
department, however, and the officer
was notified that if he desired to con
tinde his work at New York he might
resign from the army. Colonel Dunn
accepted that advice and rendered his
resignation, which was accepted to
take effect October /.
Recently, however, friends of Col.
Dunn induced the officials of the War
| Department to reconsider the case,
and in recognition of his valuable SER
vice to the army, permit him to be
placed on the retired list, instead of
requiring his complete elimination
from the service. This brought about
favorable action today, and thus Col.
Dunn will be at liberty to continue in
his civil employment.
Col. Dunn is a native of Louisiana
and was graduated from the Military
Academy in 1888.
