OMAHA'S THIRD WARD.
The most positive and couviucing
statement made in the message of the
governor in relation to Omaha election
frauds was the one in which he declar
ed that it was "a matter of record"
that in the Third ward "there were
three times as many votes cast" at the
fall election "as the census report
shows there were male inhabitants in
said ward."
There is an air of positiveuess about
this assertion which does not quite
accord with the showing which the
World-Herald attempts to make on
that poinu
That paper shows that it sent to its
Washington correspondent for the
cenuiis report of the enumeration of
Omaha by wards, ami received from
him an assurance that Director Du
raud of the census bureau advised him
that the tabulation of population of
Omaha by wards is not yet complete
and will not le given out for several
weeks yet.
From the statement of the governor
in his message one must conclude that
he has somehow discovered what "the
census report shows" as to the male
inhabitants of that ward. Naturally
the question arises, if the report has
never been made public, how does the
governor know, and where did he find
out? k
It is true, the census authorities in
this state must have known, but in
asmuch as they are under oath not to
divulge the information and liable to
heavy penalty if they do, it is quite
out of the question to suspect that the
governor may have learned from them
what the report shows.
The World-Herald, however, in the
absence of any newer evidence as to
what "the census report shows," digs
up the report of ten years ago, and
shows that it discloses that the popu
lation of the Third ward of Omaha
then was 11,682, comprising 1,091
families, and that the adult male pop
ulation, of 21 years and over, was
6.0G7, while the vote of the Third
ward in the last fall's election was
1,897 and the registration 2,274.
These figures show that instead of
being three times as large as the num
ber of male inhabitants shown by the
census report in that ward, the vote
was only M per cent of the male adult
population of the ward as shown by
the census of ten years ago.
Now,iinless the population of the
Third ward in Omaha has declined
about 1,000 per cent during the last
decade, it is going to be mighty dilli
cult for the governor to sustain at
least that part of his showing of fraud
in Omaha. Lincoln Star.
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Senator Brown's determination to
support the Canadian reciprocity
agreement is significant. It means
that the agricultural west in congress
is not rushing to the opposition. And
it is on the farmers of the country that
the success of the measure depends.
To take his stand involves some
personal risk, for unless the farmers
are able to see a little farther than the
tip of their nose they may yet be stam
peded against the measure. The cold
fact is that the proposed reciprocity
deprives the Nebraska farmer of
whatever protection he has had from
the tariff, while returning him nothing
but some possible savings in the cost
of lumber and fish. It has long been
the habit of interests or industries to
fly into a panic at the suggestion of
losing so much as a comma from their
tariff schedule. They seldom look,
the farmers least of all, to see whether
their sacrifice ot a penny may not save
them a pound. They grab at the
penny and let the pound go. Thus do
tariff iniquities arise.
The manufacturing interests, which
have bad seats at the tariff table while
the farmers picked a few crumbs from
the floor, are watching us with a cyn
ical sneer. Last year we wanted revi
sion downward on their schedules.
This year we get it on our own.
"Watck them stand pat," they say.
Incidentally, aa they know, we will in
tnt case Cv-itit.ui; ;. IcjAq the.ni bread
for our crumbs.
It is to be hoped that the farmers
vrili see the point and stay with Sena
tor Brown, and that the Nebraata leg
islature will decisively defeat its anti
reciprocity resolution. Once get the
farmer free from his petty direct inter
est in the tariff, and the serious tariff
abuses under which he suffers and
which have maintained themselves by
playing upon his foolish fears will
crumble like a scarecrow in a cyclone.
The simple lact is that the western
farmer has not received and is not now
receiving appreciable benefit from the
tariffs on his products. The president
points out that the day his reciprocity
message went to congress the price of
wheat at Winnipeg and at Minneapo
lis was only one cent apart. A tariff
of 25 cents a bushel on Canadian
wheat no more profits our farmers in
such case than a tariff on the green
cheese in the moon. It doesn't take
courage to consent to removal of such
a tariff. It takes only sense. The
farmer will gain dollars where he
loses doughnuts by giving up his own
small and mostly imaginary tariff
interests, thus setting himself free,
morally and politically, to batter at
the unjust tariffs fav3ring other inter
ests at his expense. State Journal.
GOVERNMENT IN THE OPEN.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey voiced a very popular maxim
in asserting that "The root of all evils
in politics is private concealment."
Whether it is too broad iu its applica
tion or not, the principle is sound. It
has long been so accepted by most
eople, and particularly by the politi
cal party that has been in power con
tinuously for the last fourteen years.
Dr. Wilson indirectly admitted this
when he told the National Press club
that "The popular movement in our
country is to change the machinery of
our government from privacy to publi
city." It took us a loug time to realize this
fact. That was natural, since we had
not taken the time to think very much
on tiro subject for such a lengthy peri
od. Our people and political parties
had, in this as in other things, fallen
into the current of a system that swol
lowed them up before they brought
themselves to understand just what
had happened and what would happen
if they did not change the system.
Eventually they awoke and we are
now appreciating some of the results,
as Dr. Wilson says. The awakening,
we have to admit, came about during
these fourteen years of unbroken re
publican rule. And it would not be
at all difficult to point to some of the
individuals who had taken leading
parts in effecting this new order of
things.
Yet it is not a matter to be viewed
from partisan standpoints. It is only
worth while noting that the reform
came by and through the republican
influence. The faults of the past have
not, we think, been so much with the
character of our institutions as with
their perversion, and therefore it does
not occur to us as essential that com
pletely new forms of government be
instituted. We do not have to restore
popular government, but to keep our
government popular, and that can best
le done by keeping it in the limelight.

LEE'S FEELING TOWARD PRES
IDENT DAVIS.
Undoubtedly Lee esteemed and ad
mired Davis, but the expression of
these feelings does not go leyond
kindly cordiality. Soon after the war
he writes to Early: "I have been
much pained to see the attempts made
to cast odium upon Mr. Davis, but do
not think they will be successful with
the reflecting or informed part of the
country." After Davis's release from
captivity, Lee wrote him a letter
which is very charming in its old
fashioned courtesy. "Your release has
lifted a load from my heart which I
have no words to tell. That
the rest of your days may be trium
phantly happy is the sincere and ear
nest wish of your most obedient and
faithful friend and servant." Lee is,
of course, even less outspoken in criti
cism than in praise of his superior. It
is only very rarely that we catch a
trace f dissatisfaction, as in reference
to the anxiety of the authorities in
regard to Richmond: "The general
had been heard to say that 'Richmond
was the millstone that was dragging
down the army.' In the delightful
memoirs 'of General Gordon we get
perhaps the most explicit statement of
what Lee's feeling about the president
really was. It was at the time of
Davis' refusal to abandon the capital.
Lee spoke to Gordon in the highest
terms of the great qualities of Davis's
character, praised the strength of his
convictions, his devotion, his remarka
ble faith in the possibility of still win
ning our independence, his unconquer
able will power. 'But,' he added, 'you
know that the president is very tena
cious in opinion and purpose.' " Gam
aliel Bradford, jr., in the January
Atlantic.
A ROOSEVELT LETTER.
The right to criticise the courts
when they are properly subject to crit
icism has rarely beenimore forcefully
demonstrated than in the letter of
Colonel Roosevelt to Governor Bald
Via of Connecticut. This letter, even
more than the original criticism,
passed by Colonel Roosevelt on a
Baldwin decision handed down when
he was a judge shows how just and
pertinent that criticism was".
It is true, as Colonel Roosevelt says,
that he has for years interested himself
in legislation bearing on employers'
liability, and that he could not ignore
the Baldwin decision as something
that might go far toward nullifying an
act of congress that the ex-president
regarded as vital to the proper pro
tection' of employees.
The criticism of Baldwin became
acutely personal because it was passed
at a time when he was a candidate for
governor. But the personal bearing
was not the fault of Colonel Roosevelt,
who was aiming at an impersonal
thing. Roosevelt has shown in many
instances that he can be wholly imper
sonal in his acts and utterances, even
when they may vitally affect even him,
but mote than any other man in pub
lic view in his time he has had the
courage to work and fight for the right
regardless of the particular applica
tions that might be made of his poli
cies or principles.
Incidentally the Roosevelt letter
seems to have convinced Governor
Baldwin that his critic was well within
his rights. Kansas City Star.
THE FIRST AMERICANS.
In the beginning the Hohokam
dwelt in the land. They were the first
Americans before the Pilgrim Fath
ers, before the Spaniards, iiefore the
Indians. They were the Unknown
People who lived in the United States
so long ago that their name is utterly
lost Out in the Southwest old tribes
of Indians like the Znnis and Navajos
know nothing of them save by vaguest
tradition. The Pi mas and Papagos of
Southern Arizona, who occupy part (if
the land that once was theirs, know
that another race possessed the country
long ago. More they cannot tell.
They and their fathers for hundreds of
years have seen what we see the
scanty remnants of ancient villages.
For inhabitants of the villages they
have no name except the Hohokam,
that is, the "Unknown." The modern
archaeologist describes the implements
and pottery of the Hohokam. He
cannot do much more, for their houses
are laid low. Except in a few places,
such as the ruins of Casa Grande, near
the Gila River, the very walls have
vanished. Casa Grande itself may be
the work of a people later than the
main body of the Hohokam. We can
never know the whole story. Yet
little bv little we may learn its chief
facts. Arizona and the adjacent re
gions are full of ruins unknown to
scientists and even to the people who
live within a mile of them. They are
so nearly obliterated that there seems
at first sight little to repay study.
Archaeology begins the task of recon
structing the past; geography must
finish it. Modern geography enables
us to determine the mode of life which
must prevail, especially among primi
tive peoples, under given conditions
of physical environment. If we can
correctly picture the geographic en
vironment of the Hohokam, we may
learn much of the history of our earli
est fellow countrymen. Ellsworth
Hunington,in Harper's Magazine for
February.
THE REAL GENERAL LEE.
The general's headquarters for the
moment were in some public building,
and the women sent in breakfast.
Loaves of hot bread, butter and coffee.
During breakfast the general astonish
ed me by saying, "Captain Ranson, I
fear you have not had a good mother."
I was indignant, and rather hotly re
plied: "You are mistaken, general, I
havetiie best mother in the world."
The general replied: "Well, I may be
wrong, but there is one thing she did
not teach you how to cut bread and
butter. I will show you how." He
then took the loaf of bread in his
hand, and spreading the butter on the
end, cut off a slice and handed it to roe,
saying: "Now that is the way to cut
bread and butter. Look what a mess
you have made by cutting off your
slice first and then trying to butter it
afterward."
I was beginning to understand Gen
eral Lee and that this was his little
joke, and that I should not deprive him
of the pleasure of it. I knew he was a
grave and serious man and had few
moments of fu n. He was carrying the
weight of the whole Southern cause on
his shoulders, almost unassisted, and
sometimes seriously handicapped.
Moreover, I became aware that he was
treating me like a son when he scold
ed me, and I tried to remember this in
later days, when his scoldings were
hard to bear. On this occasion I took
the slice of bread and thanked him
gravely for teaching ate something.
I had noticed by daylight that a
wide sweep had to be "made to that we
could strike the bridge at a right angle
to the stream. When all was ready I
rode to the leading Bale, and taking
it by the bridle rein, swung around on
a wide carve. It was dark, bat we hit
the bridge in the center, the males go
ing down hill at a gallop, and the lead
males were nearly over the plank road
on the farther side, when suddenly
something happened in the rear. The
re was a quick stop, and the mules
were jerked back on their haunches
with' great force. I rod back and
found the-high wheels of the carry-log
had cut through the bridge and into
the mud underneath, the gun resting
on the bridge. We jacked it ap and
tried another start, but there was no
more pull in the mules that night; a
dozen pairs would pall forward, bat a
dozen more would pull back, and after
seesawing for a while, I sent the mules
back to Petersburg. The day was
breaking, so we cut green bushes and
twined them about the high wheels of
the carry-log to deceive the enemy,
and returned to the camp, arriving
about sunrise.
I had been sleeping in my tent for
an hoar or two, when I heard General
Lee asking for me. I went out and
found him sitting on his horse. He
asked me if I had gotten the gun out,
and I explained. "Then you failed,"
he said. I went onto say that if he
would give me two hundred men who
would pall together when ordered, I
could get the gan out that night, the
bridge having been strengthened. He
turned away, saying. "No, sir; you
have failed. I will send Captain W.
to report to you."
Captain W. came in the course of a
day, and I rode down and showed him'
over the ground. He made rather
light of it. He had moved the heavy
guns from Fort Sumter, and therefore
had experience. I cautioned him that
moving guns over the j.aved streets of
Charleston was a different proposition
from this. He tried it that night, but
did not move the gun six feet. The
next night another officer tried it and
failed. On the third morning General
Lee rode up to my tent and said:
"What was it you said to me about
moving that gun with men?" I said
that with two hundred men who would
act with intelligence and pull together
at the word of command I could bring
the gun out. He was turning away
when I said: "Am I to try it tonight,
general?" "No you failed; I will not
give you another chance. I will send
an officer to you."
During the day another officer call
ed, and I went with him and his two
hundred men that night, and by 2
o'clock the gun jrs in Petersburg and
loaded on the car. When I knew that
the surrender was a fact, I mentioned
to Colonel Baldwin, my chief, that the
secret service money of the army was
in our wagon, and asked for instruc
tions. The secret service money of the
army was used in paying spies and in
formers who ran the blockade and en
tered the enemy's lines in search of in
formation, and to obtain such supplies
as were not obtainable in the South.
Up to the time when Overton Price,
clerk at the ordnance office of the
chief of ordnance, left the box contain
ing the money was in his keeping, and
he' paid out all moneys. No books or
records were kept. When an order
was presented, the money was paid to
bearer and the order was instantly de
stroyed. Nothing was kept that could
incriminate any one.
Colonel Baldwin asked General Lee
about the money, and he replied. "I
kuow nothing about it." Colonel
Baldwin said, "But, general, I am
asking for instructions." General Lee
replied, "Colonel Baldwin, I know
nothing at all alwnt the matter, and
will not discuss it."
Colonel Baldwin then asked Gener
al Longstreet, who said: "Divide it
among the officers present. The gov
ernment owes me a month's pay and I
should like to have it"
I brought the iron box containing
the money, and Colonel Baldwin
counted it. He gave General Fitz
Lee and Rosser $2,500 each. The
money was in 50 and 100 dollar bills,
United States currency, and some
gold. Colonel Baldwin gave me $100
pot $100 in his own pocket, and then
gave each of the officers present $100,
beginning with General Longstreet.
The money soon gave out, and Captain
Daffy, chief gunsmith of the reserve
ordnance train, complaining of having
been left out, Colonel Baldwin gave
him $50, the half of his own $100. I
heard at the time that Colonel Bald
win offered General Lee some of the
money and that be refused it 1 was
not present when this occurred, but I
am perfectly sure it is true. A. R. H.

THE LAST OF THE PURITANS.
So many of oar interesting Asaeri
can nana hate met with extinction
that I feel like entering s plea for the
Puritan. We think now with keen
regret of the long gone bison herd,
charging in a cloud of doat upon the
unwary Western traveler, and effect
ually preventing his ever writing a
book of travel. He was not agreeable,
but he was individual. Shall we not
shed a few of the unwept tears we had
preserved for the buffalo when we view
the last of the Puritans analyzing the
bars of his cage at the zoo? Or when
we gaze upon a stuffed specimen of the
New England conscience mounted in
a lifelike way on the corth of an "an
cient elm," molting in the glass case of
a museum? We drop the tear of senti
ment upon the Indian now that he is
not near enough to return our courtesy
with the tomahawk let us now call a
meeting and weep for the Puritan.
So scarce is the pure Puritan becoming
that the next generation may feel a
few salt drops brimming to their eyes
when some wintry day they see the
bluff old back country farmer sleigh
ing to town, snugly tucked in a rare
warm robe of Puritan hide the last of
his race, slain by American laughter,
the crudest weapon ever aimed at a
brother's breast
Why not grant this little rock wall
ed field of New England to thePuritau
for his reservation a mental reserva
tion, perhaps but always a happy
hunting ground for him and his con
science, before he and it, too, meet
with extinction in the flashlight of
humor? Elizabeth Maury Coombs in

f Making Insurance Maps.
In making insurance maps certain
features are considered essential, and
the growth of the system has proved
their wisdom and changed them only
as regards the amount of detail that
has been incorporated. Of first impor
tance were the colors to show the dif
ferent materials used in the construc
tion of a building. Naturally red
aemed a proper color to signify brick
and yellow to signify wood. These
colors have nlwnjys been employed for
these materials. Other colors have
been added from time to time, thus
blue for stone, gray for iron, etc.
In fixing signs and characters for
such details as stairways, fire escapes,
dumb waiter shafts, etc., a principal
object was to make them plain and
distinct They must be easily under
stood by an underwriter without ref
erence to my key or marginal foot
notes. This object has been carried out,
with the result that when these insur
ance maps are examined by an insur
ance man today each sign or charac
ter has such an individuality of its
own that it can be easily distinguished
and is not confused with another.

Tha Word "Fudge."
"Fudge" is a word with a history.
There are prosaic etymologists, aa
there always are, who derive it from
a Gaelic word meaning deception, but
Isaac Disraeli's view is much more in
teresting. He derives it from a certain
Captain Fudge, who seems to hare
been a marine Munchausen. "Yon
fudge it" Is said to have been his
crew's equivalent to the modern
"Bats!" In a collection of some pa
pers of William Crouch, the Quaker,
published ia 1712 it Is recorded that
one Degory Marshall Informed Crouch
that "In the year 1CG4 we were sen
tenced for banishment to Jamaica by
Judges Hyde and Twisden, and our
number was fifty-fire. We were put
on board the ship Black Eagle. The
master's name was Fudge, by some
called Lying Fudge." London Stand

A DENTAL CURIOSITY. .
The Set of Artificial Teeth That WasK
ington Endured.
It may not be generally known that
the Father of His Country was one of
the first Americans to wear artificial
teeth. By the time the war of the
Revolution had ended he had parted
company with most of the outfit which
nature had given him. An ingenious
physician and dentist of New York city
undertook the. then unusual task of re
equipment and produced at length a
full set of artificial teeth. These are
now, of course, a dental curiosity and
offer an additional proof of the heroism
of our first president, for it is a matter
of fact that General Washington wore
those teeth for many years and. so far
as we know, never complained of them.
The teeth were carved from Ivory
and riveted, wired and clamped to a
somewhat ponderous gold plate. Three
large clamps In particular figure con
spicuously in the roof of ihe mouth
and must have caused difficulty, if not
anguish. There were an upper and an
under set, and the two were connected
and held in position relatively by a
long spiral spring on each side, says
Harper's Weekly.
Nevertheless Washington wore them
long and well, a fact sufficiently attest
ed by the worn and dinted condition of
both teeth and plate.
At the last account these teeth were
the property of a dental Institution in
Baltimore.
A Useful Coffin.
A writer in an English church maga
zine once found in a collier's cottage
in Staffordshire a coflln used as a
bread and cheese cupboard. Notwith
standing his wife's remonstrance, he
told the story of the cotlin as follows:
"Eighteen years ago 1 ordered that
cotlin. The wife and me used to have
a good many words. One day she
said. Til never be content till 1 see
thee iu thy coffin.' 'Well, lass.' I said,
if that'll content thee it'll soon be
done.'
"Next day I gave directions to have
the thing made. In a few days it
came home, to the wife's horror. I got
into it and said, 'Now, lass, are thee
contents She begau to cry and want
ed the 'horrid thing' taken away. Hut
that I wouldn't allow. In the end she
got accustomed to seeing it. and as we
wanted to turn it to some use we had
some shelves put iu and made it into a
bread and cheese cupboard. We have
never quarreled since it came."
Abuse.
Abuse is not so dangerous wliev
there is no vehicle of wit or delicacy,
no subtle conveyance. The difference
between coarse and refined abuse is

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Their Effect In the First Theater In
Which They Were Uacd.
The first theater In the workl to use
incandescent lamps was the Academy
of Music, on Halstead street, Chicago,
the plant being installed by the West
ern Edison Light company. The the
ater was wired for 350 sixteen candle
power lamps. The lighting was con
fined to the auditorium. No electric
lights were used on the stage, as dim
mers had not been thought of at that
time. On tlit owning night, after the
new lights wtre Installed, the acton
struck, claiming that It was Impossible
to make up by gaslight and play their
parts under the glare of the electric
lights. It was with difficulty that they
were persuaded to proceed with the
second act.
The first theater to be completely
lighted with incandescent lamps was
the old Haverly theater, then located
on Monroe street, where the Inter
Ocean buildiug now stands. This
plant consisted of two dynamos with
a capacity of 037 lamps. On the open
ing night only sufficient lights were
started at first to euable the ushers to
seat the audience. When the curtain
rose every light was turned on, caus
ing a tremendous sensation among the
audience and eliciting applause that
tou tinned for fifteen minutes. The in
novation was so successful that Me
Vicker's theater and the Chicago Opera
iTi.nsi. immediately installed similar
plants. W. C. Jenkins in National
Magazine.

"But has your church no mission
aries to send among these people'"
was the quick rejoinder. Boston

Poverty is hard, but debt is horrible:
