GAILLARD

The death of Lieut. Col. Gailard at Johns Hopkins hospital
brought to and end one of natures. cruel tragedies. For over six
years he had devoted all his strength, energies and talents to the
gigantic labor of digging the Cuebra cut. When the work was prac-
tically finished and the water was about to be let into the Panama
canal, at the hour of his final triumph, he wa ordered home a sick
and broken man.
He had succumbed to the long siege of overwork, nervous strain
and the tropical climate. For the last two months of his life, while
the news of che successful flooding of the waterway and the passage
of the first boats through the high-Ievel locks was being greeted with
applause by millions of his counrymen, the army engineer who had
pierced the backbone of the continent, and whose name deserves to
be linked with those of Goethals and Gorgas IS the conquerors of the
Isthmus, was fated to lie in a state of Inconsistencies in a hospital
bed.

What used to be considered the best of form in Republican poll
tics a few years ago is looked upon as something quite different now
if practiced by Democrats.
It is interesting to find Senator Galnger of the decayed Old
Guard at Washington protesting AGAINST the conspiracy of Demo-
cratic majority ue in the senae-senaeor Galinger, who va Mr..
Aldrch's twofnted right-hand man; Senator Galinger, VINO was so
much distrusted by his W party that for months before the Demo-
Gratis came into control OF the cnatc his Republican brethren refused
to indorse the action making him president pro tenn; Senator Calm

Ell failed to beat down opposition with every monopolisic club that
came within his reach.
The conspiracy" that confronts Mr.. Garinger is n of numbers,
for which the people alone are responsible. 1t "a worked out slowly
and painfully at the polls and in the legislatures of the states. 1t is
likely to be a continuing Conspiracy" for revolutions new go back

man has a scheme to get rich easily,
starting with one tabby cat as capital.
He figures that this cat will produce
twelve kittens in year and that her
female descendants will be- equally

he will have 100000 cats, whose skins
will sell at the average price of 80
cents each.
He proposes to breed rats to feed
the cats and to feed the rats on the
carcasses of the skinned cats. The
net profits of this rat and cat ranch,
the protector estimates, will be about
$500 a day. At present the promoter
