McK inlay on Anarchy.
In the light of the tracedv at rtnf.
falo. a peculiar interest attaches tn an
address delivered by Mr. MeKlnley at
me dedication of a soldiers and sail
ors' home in Cleveland on Julv 4. 18S4
Just before he spoke the assembli.d
school children of Cleveland had sung
a patriotic song, beating time to their
music with nags which they held in
their hands. Mr. MeKlnley began by
referring to this pleasing sight, add
ing: "With patrloUsm in our hearts
and with the flag of our country in our
nanas mere is no danger of anarchy.
. . . Anarchy flees before patriot
ism. Peace and order and security and
liberty arc safe so long as love of coun
try ourns in the hearts of the Deoole
. . . Liberty to make our own
laws does not give us license to break
them. Liberty to make our own laws
commands a duty to observe the
selves and enforce obedience among
an otners within - their jurisdiction.
Liberty, my fellow-citUena, is respon
sibility, and responsibility is duty, and
that duty is to preserve the excentinnai
liberty we enjoy within the law, and
ior me law, and by the law." His
statement that anarchy and Datrlotium
are deadly foes could have had no
more striking illustration than his own
death. By personal conviction as well
as by official position Mr. MeKlnley
was the embodiment of the idea of lib
erty under law. He was struck down
because of that fact. His death teaches
the same lesson as his Cleveland
speech that the enforcement of Just
laws and the inculcation of true pa
triotism are the safest and surest
means of suppressing-anarchy.

A fish dealer in one of the most styl
ish parts of New York was deeply hurt
and badly worried recently by the
complaint of one of bis big customers
that a fine salmon which he bad sent
to the house for a big dinner had
1 Viroved to be entirely uneatable when
Served, owing to a most penetrating
tante of creosote that pervaded It. The
fish dealer realized, although the
charge was not made directly, that be
was more than suspected of having
sold a stale fish that had been washed
or brushed with an antiseptic prepara
tion to bide Its condition. He knew
that the salmon had been perfectly
fresh when he sold It and for days he
puszled In Tain over the problem. But
suddenly be remembered that on the
day the fish was sent out a tank wagon
full of creosote had stopped before his
place, and that hla cart, Into which
the flsb bad been placed, was directly
alongside of the powerful stuff. That
appear to have been enough to per
meate the delicate flesh of the fish. The
experience should be a lesson against
exposing any foodstuffs to Influences

years ago, when
Sandusky waa an'

Is a lineal descend

Jay Cooke's father built the first sub

In bis boyhood the future master of
finance began his commercial career
as a clerk and bookkeeper In a village

a large house at St Louis. In 1838 he
removed to Philadelphia and at 21 he
was a partner in a great banking con

embraced the building of railroads, the
organization of banks, national loans
and the handling of great masses of
railway stock. In 1873 the panic swept
his fortune away. After that crash he

Phoenix, Ariz . reports that at the
rate at which the Angora goat Is now
securing a foothold In the West and
Southwest, the time is not far distant
when the goat industry will take pre

sheep culture. Since 1849,, when the
first Angora goats were brought to this
country by Dr. James B. DavU of South
Carolina, who received them as a pres
ent from the Sultan of Turkey, the
goat has slowly but surely gained a
standing among the great industries of
the West, until there are now many
more than a million goats In Arizona,
New Mexico, California, Idaho, Utah
and Oregon.
Stockmen ara awakening to the great
possibilities in the Angora, and this
at a time when the profits of raising
sheep and cattle are on the decline.
Almost every region of the West pos
sesses the peculiar requisites for at
taining the best results in raising An
gora goats, end experts declare that
the conditions In the mountainous re

and d-y, and the winters cold and wet,

highest development of the goat.

Mayor Harrison has had a change of

cold months. The mayor has not only
ordered that no tramps shall be lodged

also stated that the condition of the
city treasury makes it impossible to
open a municipal lodging-houso for

Mlaoollaaeees Stat News.
LINCOLN, Oct. 9. State Superin
tendent W. K. Fowler is in receipt of
a letter from Minneapolis warning
him that agents are at work In Ne
braska selling charts to rural districts
for ten times their real value. The
letter is upon blank paper without a
letter head and Superintendent Fow
ler does not know the author, but be
is willing to give the letter to the pub
lic for what it Is worth. It is ag fol
lows :
"MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 4.
1901. State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir:
In your state today there is a clever
scheme being worked by experts in
selling charts to rural districts. The
chart costs less than $3 to manufac
ture. Including stand. Notwithstand
ing they are highly polished and con
tain much color, they are not worth
$10 to any school.
"The plan Is to visit rural districts
only and sell for $30 to $50. The sell
ing price depends on the cost of brib
ing the majority of the board. The
agents have to qualify before they
operate and they are 'past masters' in
finding out susceptible members of the
board. The bribe Is anywhere from $5
to $10 per member. As soon as the
county Is worked all time paper is
sold to local banks at 10 to 25 per cent
discount. An expert agent is worth to
Ms firm $5,000 a yeai. In soma cases
county superintendents r?commend
the price, but If they condemn the
thing, the agents ostensibly lea re the
county; then their leader calls his
men from other parts of the state and
they rush the county to a finish, oft
entimes before the superintendent is
aware of it.
"The agents do not call themselves
'chart agents,' but mask as general
school supply men. The only thing
they dread Is notice In local papers,
such as the country people read, keep
ing It before the public now and then.
Yours truly,
"M. F. BURDETTE."
As long ago as last April Superin
tendent Fowler published the follow
ing in the Nebraska Teacher:
"A chart agent has been roaming
the counties west of Lincoln during
the past month, not only seeking
whom he might devour, but devouring
all, or nearly all, of those ha saw. The
gentleman claims to have a recom
mendation from the state superintend
ent, but the records and letter copy
books of this office show nothing of
the sort. We think he Is mistaken,
and his conduct Impels us to the fol
lowing decision for self-protection.
Henceforth, we will refuse to write,'
dictate, grant or sign any testimonial
or recommendation whatsoever of any
school charts, without regard to their
merit, color or prospect of servitude
that Is, usefulness."

Major. Hawkes, in correcting his?
testimony, had added a statement thatlt
Judge Boyd was not to subscribe forS
