The New York correspondent of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer writes There
does not remain a shadow of a doubt in
tho minds of eastern democrats as to
Grover Clevelands attitude toward the
presidency They believe that he is not
willing to accept a nomination but is
hoping that one may be offered him
The postal officials at Washington are
proceeding in the presidents absence
just as if he were there giving directions
in person They know that Theodore
Roosevelt insists above all things on
absolute fidelity and integrity in the
public service and that no public serv

protection unless he can clear his skirts

The action of Governor Pennypacker
-of Pennsylvania in signing the new libel
-bill in that state has attracted general
attention of the country The measure
is something distinctly new in the line
of libel laws and will doubtless work a re
volution among the newspapers of the
old Keystone state The Tribune is dis
posed to the opinion that the newspapers
have been grossly misusing their liberty
and that more stringent measures are
demanded for the protection of officials
and public men especially against their
often inexcusable assaults We shall
watch with interest tho result of the
-new Pennsylvania law

Guire was a member of the Burlington
voluntary relief association and accepted
the benefits of the association eleven
months after his injury in 1901 Briefly
Judge Roberts held that the effect of the
amendment was to enable a party to re
cover twice for the same injury ouce
from the association upon his contract

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Wo are accustomed in these days to
hear much said on the subjectof war
and its benefits to the participating gov
ernments It is even maintained that
war is essential to a healthful condition
of the body politic as exercise is neces
sary to the physical well being of the
individual man In this country our
recent experience should qualify us to
speak with authority The question is
one of wide scope and one on which we
expect to find a diversity of opinions
Among tho realistic authors who have
written of war there is however una
nimity of views Without exception they
portray human warfare even in the civil
ized form in which it is now waged as
the most horrible of catastrophies
Tolstoi has drawn a rather hasty sketch
in Sebastopol hasty in the sense of
brevity for it is artistic masterful fully
worthy of its great author A few years
ago Stephen Crane startled the reading
world witn Tne Red Badge of Cour
age This is a remarkable book in many
ways but crude and faulty too It is
the first important work of a very young
man a man who had not seen war
Neither of these books seeks to influence
except by description Facts are re
counted and the reader is left to draw
his own conclusions
The most graphic account of war is
Ground Arms by the Baroness von
Suttner an Austrian noblewoman Her
tale is absorbingly interesting because
her experiences are personal She of
course was not a combatant but she
visited the battlefields a few hours after
the guns had ceased firing Let any who
advocates war read this book and then
say whether an institution that entails
such frightful misery is beneficient
The picture is too vivid too real It
dwells in the mind It haunts the im
agination It flashes back to the mem
ory in after years And yet there is a
lurid fascination aboutit that impels one
who has read the book to turn to it again
and again and to read on and on until
a sickening realization of the horror of
it all compels him for the time being
to turn from it
All these books may be had at the
library

The New Class K4b Engine
Referring again to that new experi
ment in locomotive construction the
Klb now outside the shops the ma
chine is somewhat an oddity in appear
ance being radically different from any
other locomotive yet designed in several
respects We understand the Q is
building a similar one as an experiment
The height of the locomotive from rail
to top of smoke stack is 15 feet 4 inches
This is not on account of any large sized
drivers but owing to the fact that the
rear pair of three pair altogether sets
directly under the cab and firebox which
is the new wide pattern projecting over
the drivers In consequence the boiler
head is very high and the boiler itself
sets high above the frame The engine
has four truck wheels under the front
but almost its entire weight sets on the
drivers greatly increasing its tractive
power One of the peculiarities of the
construction and one of the best features
are the long valve rods extending back
and fastened directly to the rocker bar
between the middle and the first pair of
drivers under the firebox This does
away with the transmitting rod simpli
fying the construction making the work
ing of the reverse lever a great deal
easier and making the mechanism easier
on the valves easier to repair and less
liable to breakage Havelock Times

THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO ATLANTA GA
New Postal Curreney
Committees of congress have consider
ed with favor a bill authorizing a postal
currency for which its advocates claim a
wonderful combination of flexibility and
versatility
The bill proposes to print all govern
ment paper money of denominations of
five dollars and under except national
bank notes in the form of post check
notes Lines are to be printed on the
face of the notes in addition to special
devices When these lines are left blank
the notes circulate from hand to hand
like the present currency When they
are to be remitted by mail the lines are
filled in with the name of the payee and
a 2 cent postage stamp is attached tn the
corner cancelled The note in this con
dition is payable only to the person
named It no longer circulates as cur
rency but is redeemable at any money
order postoffice or national bank and is
thence forwarded to be treated as muti
lated currency sent to the nearest sub
treasury for reissue free postage and
registry being stipulated for this process
Although no absolute deduction can
be made in advance of the success of
such an experiment there would seem to
be merit in tho claim that this plan is
well worth trying It is the simplest
most promising yet proposed for meeting
an urgent demand
If the people find no use for the bills
as checks they will continue to circu
late as money until worn out as at pres
ent and no one will be injured If they
are used as checks the revenue from
postage stamps attached will abundantly
repay all expenses incurred and a great
public convenience will be assured
