Illinois lurnleb.es the. .first of the ac
cidents from firecrackers this year, but
from now until July5 the tetanus ba
cillus will have a busy time.
Baccalaureate sermons all around
us, but for some unaccountable reason
Chancellor Day seems to have a mo
nopoly on the sensational outbreaks.
Kentucky has furnlshd a genuine
surprise for "home-coming week." A
Breathitt county murderer has con
fessed and Judge Hargls has not been
rearrested.
Soldiers returning ' from Asia to
Russia aresald to be so disaffected
that they are being Isolated from the

With the majority and minority re

certain of only one thing and that Is
that there wan a hearing.
From the decision of Judge Wade
not to f un for congress the inference
Is irresistible thr.t not as much demo

Intimation Is given that the Duma

doubtless means that the cxar will try

Members of the new democratic city

Lightning seems to have taken up

for 'not wheeling it into line Jn the
past for other republican candidates?
Now that the Kansaa "hoodoo" sen
atorial succession haa been Oiled, fate
will probably devise a new sensation

REPLIES THAT PO fiOT ASSWrER.
The response made by President
Cassatt to the forrrl of questions sent
to all officers and employes . of the
Pennsylvania by ,the special Investi
gating committee appointed by its
board of directors, touching holdings
of stock or any interest Id coal and
other corporations having business
dealings with the road, will certainly
attract, universal i attention and excite
varied reflections. While the state
ment has the air of frankness, and
while Its strict accuracy need not be
Impugned, the fact nevertheless re
mains that It falls very far short of the
kind of publicity which both the stock
holders and the patrons of the road In
general are Interested In and will prob
ably Insist upon, nor can any Investi
gation under authority of the road
Itself proceeding by suth methods go
to the bottom of the subject.
The answers show that President
Cassatt "at present" owns extensive
holdings of the stock of steel and other
companies which have large dealings
as sellers of their products to the
Pennsylvania Central or as shippers
over its lines, although they deny In
general terms wrongful relations be
tween them and the road or on his
part. That may, Indeed, all be true,
but precisely the same protestations
were made at the outset by the presi
dents and high officials of the big New
York life Insurance companies on their
own behalf with respect to collateral
corporations. If the matter had ended
there the real truth exposed by drastic
official investigation would never have
been publicly known.
Voluntary general statements of this
character, especially when defensive,
are one thing, but It Is quite a differ
ent thing to throw upon such a subject
the limelight of compulsory, thorough
going, independent Investigation, with
witnesses under oath and under such
cross-examination as Charles E.
Hughes administered on behalf of the
Armstrong committee, and with power
to probe and test every detail of books,
records and documents.
By contrast President Cassatt's
statement will be likely only to sug
gest and enforce the necessity of an
official Investigation as -thorough as
that of the Armstrong legislative com
mittee Into life Insurance. The reve
lations in the brief and fragmentary
testimony before the Interstate1 com
merce committee are of such character
that nothing less than completely turn
ing things inside out can exonerate the
management, even If the truth be to
its credit. Its very choice of a method
of inquiry, which In the nature of
things cannot be conclusive. It at this
Juncture rather auspicious than reas
suring. BCSISESS BE FORK ADJOCRXMEXT.
The most cursory examination dis
closes the great amount of business
that la immediately before congress or
waiting. Among the Important and
time-consuming subjects are statehood,
the Reed Smoot case. Panama canal,
the District of Columbia bill, the omni
bus public building bill, the pure food
bill and the railroad rate aud meat in
spection measures. Nearly two weeks
have been almost continuously occu
pied by the sundry civil appropriation,
and It la not yet disposed of by any
means. At the same time several
other important appropriation bills
which of course would have the right-of-way,
are not yet in shape even to
bring before the house. There is in
addition a variety of measures in a
more or less advanced stage, which, al
though not to be compared with rate
control and meat inspection, are yet of
large Importance and demanded by the
country.
It is noteworthy that with the mid
dle of June almost reached there Is
yet no sign of congress getting ready
for the final week or two of "rush"
work that usually marks the close of
a session. In spite of the fact that
members have rarely been more anx
ious to get back to their districts.
CHANCELLOR DAT AG A IX.
Chancellor Day of the Syracuse uni
versity. In his sensational outbreak
against the president a few weeks ago,
gave some Intimation of what might
be expected from him by denouncing
the president of the United States as
"an anarchlut." But few dreamed
that, after the criticism which he then
received from the public almost uni
versally and especially from leading
clergymen and the religious press of his
own denomination, he would have the
foolhardiness to renew the assault In
aggravated form in hia annual bac
calaureate sermon.
A man who professes to see In the
existing temper of the public mind
which welcomes and respond! to the
fearless, aggressive and progressive
leadership of President Roosevelt noth
ing but recklessness of rights, and
only pruriency in the demand and ap
plication of publicity, simply adver
tises bis own extraordinary obtuseness.
ine revou against long-standing po
litical, social and business wrongs Is
simply a great mora) awakening to
the necessity of applying to conduct
the cardinal rules of ethics. From no
other class in the community is co
operation and leadership demanded in
so memorable a revivaj at from the
clergy and all who rs teachers and
exemplars have specially to do with
conduct and morals. It ii fair to say
that, with extreme'y rare exceptions,
thev do Jala with hearty sympathy in
the 'movement for higher standards In
public and business life.
Chancellor Day does himfce'f most
of all 111 service by ratlin, at the re
sults that .have been attained and
groat! j. caricaturing the purposes
which actuate the president and the
great ,roa of the people whom
v,
rrprenta. Their purpose ta construc
tive i and soundly conservative.
Nothing could be more prepos
terous than to Impute mischievous In
tent when the object Is to relieve great
corporations from universally conceded
and self-ronfeeaed abuses which de
moralize business and debauch govern
ment. The body of the people are sound
at heart, alert to the need of reform
and absolutely sincere. To class them,
as Chancellor Day does, with the de
based muckraking fragment and mere
yellow sensatlon-monglng degeneracy,
Is a blunder which a man of his po
sition and profession ought to have
been the last to perpetrate.
OMAHA AKD THE VTATE.
Too many state papers are accus
tomed to disparage Omaha on every
possible occasion. The only explana
tion of this is that they are imbued
with a mistaken Idea that the Interests
of Omaha and of Nebraska are at vari
ance, when as a matter of fact Omaha
is built upon the prosperity of the
whole state and In turn, as the market
town for its products and the base of
supplies for Its needs, materially as
sists in maintaining that prosperity.
It Is gratifying to find editors of
outside papers coming to take a broad
gauged view of the relations between
Omaha and the state. The Blair Pilot
a short time ago gave expression to
this pointed survey of the situation:
The fellows who are continually howling
about Omaha are small bore. Omaha has
the distinction of being the, lnrgest city In
Nebraska and It should have the hearty
support of all Nebraska In Ita upbuilding.
What Is good for Omaha Is good for the
rest of the state and If Omaha were boosted
till It were twice its present sise all Ne
braska would reap a material benefit. If It
were not for Omaha and South Omaha,
then Nebraska would have to look to Kan
sas City, St. Louis, Chicago and Minne
apolis for Its market center, and that cer
tainly would not be very Inviting. Omaha
Is no worse than any other city In Ne
braska and is no more of a hog, but by
being In a class by Itself It has received
not Invited the unfavorable criticism of
many Nebraska" towns and people. The
Pilot is proud of Omaha and Isn't afraid to
say so. It likes only one town oetter ana
that town Is Blair. When we read of
Omaha getting a boost we are an happy as
though we lived right there. We like
Omaha so well that when business shapes
Itself so that we can "get away" we In
variably head for Omaha. Let's quit
knocking and begin to boost and we will
find that honors are about evenly divided.
Along the same line Is the following
comment on the achievements of the
Omaha Oraln exchange taken from the
Columbus Journal:
Omaha Is forging to the front as a grain
exchange. More favorable freight rates
and a demand for a more direct shipment
from the place of production to the large
distributing centers have combined to cut
down the grain business of Chicago and to
build up that of Omaha. This Is a condi
tion which will benefit directly the farmers
of Nebraska and will result In bringing Into
closer harmony Omaha and the inland
towns of Nebraska. It Is time for people
to appreciate the fact that what helps Ne
braska helps Omaha and what helps Omaha
helps Nebraska,
These citations indicate that the
spirit of friendliness to Omaha Is
growing throughout Nebraska among
those who are naturally, brought In.
contact with us In a business or social
war. This Is a spirit that should be
cultivated and encouraged.
The proposed establishment of a
ferry across the Missouri river at Flor
ence recalls ancient history in these
parts when the Mormon expeditions
were paddled across the river at that
point to make their winter quarters
there while outfitting for the long
Journey across the plains and moun
tains with the break of early spring.
Some of the Mormon patriarchs still
living might revive interesting memo
ties by voyaging the Missouri again in
a ferry boat driven from shore to
shore.
The democratic state convention
will have a membership totaling 866,
of which only 66 are allotted to Doug
las county. The republican state con
vention will have a membership to
taling 857, of which 83 will come from
Douglas county. The relative weight
of Douglas county In the republican
and democratic party organizations,
respectively, can be figured out from
this with mathematical precision.

Omaha will also have to confess to
having built altogether too many new

But that is a very common falling
among American cittea.
The local democratic organ has also
taken up the cry of "Get together."
Its admonitions, this time, are directed
to the newly elected democratic mayor
and democratic councilmen engaged
in a family quarrel that exposes all
the democratic soiled linen.
South American republics are said
to be indifferent to the convention at
The Hague. Manufacturers of muni
tions of war are sure of patronage

as they are willing to take a risk on
getting their pay.
President Cassatt wants It distinctly
understood that he paid cash for all
his cool mining stock, which is more
ciedlble because he had nothing per
sonally to do with the distribution of
cars and the purchase of fuel.

Reetless I ader Prosperity.

Secretary Ehaw says that the American
people grow restleaa under prosperity.
This Is a profound observation. It ex
plains why it la that these years of une
qualed American prosperity have been
years of social unrest. But It la a good
thing for a people to' become restless un
der prosperity. If they were contented
with material success they would become
sordid. It is the restlessness and the dis
content which lead to higher and better
things. Nevertheless Secretary Shaw does
well to cell attention to the fact that If
this restlessness Is carried too far It may
undo cur prosperity.

HI'GB IMSTITtTIOJI.
Growth af the Festal Service la
- ' Treaty Years.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Twenty years ago the totel ordinary ex
pense of the Vnlted States for all pur
poses was $34 ,000,000.'' This year the post
office appropriation bill alone carrlea nearly
$200,000,000. as against a little over $0,000,000
In 1886. Thus, though the country has In
creased in population not more than tf.
per cent, the postal buslneaa has increased
four-fold. Nothing else gives a better In
dex of the growth of prosperity In this
country.
There Is an annual deficit of from $10,
OuO.000 to $15,000,000 because of the peculiar
lawa and the extension of the free rural
delivery service. If the government paid
a fair price to the railways for transpor
tation of the malls there would be a sur
plus. Instead It continues to pay at a, rate
fixed forty yeara ago, although the tariffs
for ordinary freight snd express have
declined about one-half In the meantime.
Also the aecond-class matter of the govern
ment Is carried at ridiculously low postal
rales. There Is neither a political, social,
ethical nor psychological reason for the
preaent divisions of mall Into second, third
and fourth classes. It is arbitrary and
co is the government $27,000,000 a year in
lost receipts or more than the total of the
department in 1870.
The rural delivery service now costs
about $30,000,000 a year and is being so
rapidly extended that five yeara from now
It Is likely that practically every Inhabitant
of the country, except In the wilds of the
Rockies, will get free . delivery, and the
coat Is estimated st fifty millions. It Is
a curious fact that the people In the small
towns and villages alone have no free
delivery, but that la probably no burden,
since the postoffire ia the social meeting
place in such communities snd the burden
of going for the mall Is not great.
. The point to be made Is that, whereas
twenty years ago the cost of mall service
to each Individual of the country waa less
than a dollar. It la now much more than
$2. When we get a decent postal package
expreas the service will be much greater
and the benefit to the public tnpre than
rorrekpondtngly increased In value. H
Is such features that are making country
life more enjoyable and are sending thou
ands oi sreuna, sua back to th farms.

A post exchange will be constructed st
Fort Omaha. Neb. This Is a decision
reached Isst week by the quartermaster
general, who found he had funds available
for the purpose. The plans snd specifica
tions have been drawn tip and the contract
will be awarded nt once In order that the
work msy come within the funds svftllsble
during the current flacal year. It was In
tended that the post exchange should be
built at another post in the west, but It
waa found Impossible to carry out the
project at that place. For thla reason Fort
Omnha will get the new post exchange.
The chief signal officer of the srmy has
adopted a useful telescope holder, a simple
arrangement which w ill fill a long-felt -want
and which was designed by Captain George
B. Oibba. Thla holder permits perfect ma
nipulation and control of the Instrument
and Is so designed that It may be lined
under almost any circumstsnces In the field
where a support msy be obtained. It can
be affixed to a tree trunk, a fence rail, a
stick driven In the ground for the purpose
or adjusted to the top of he standard
heliograph tripod, which artlch. Is always
available to signal corps men. The holder
will accommodate any telescope which can
be quickly buckled Into place.
Instructions are belns sent out to the
army paymasters not to deduct hereafter
12V4 cents per month from the pay of the re
tired enlisted men of the army. That In
dividual fraction of monthly pay formed
the contributions of the retired men to the
support of the Soldiers' home, and after
this the institution will lose the sum from
that particular source. This Is the result
of the recommendation of Paymaster Qen
ersl Dodge some months sgo to the effect
that the Soldiers' home support Itself on
its Inoome or by special appropriations
from congress and that there be no further
deductions from the pay of the soMlers to
be turned Into the home fun Th.
"ltlon did not find favor with the home
commissioners, who reported against It.
The recommendation of General Dodge,
however, brought out the fact that the re
tired enlisted men were not entitled to the
benefits of the home and far tMai
the commission said, the deduction of pay
In the case of retired . soldiers should be
discontinued.
The War department will purchase an
other lot of trunk lockers Intended for
issue to enlisted men of the army. These
are of the type which waa recently adopted
by the quartermaster general and a de
scription of which has been printed In
these columns. There has been a con
tract let for the furnishing of 6.000 of
these lockers and the next contract will
call for a like quantity. The lockers will
first be issued to those troops departing
for the Phlllpplnea and to troops which
have occasion to change station. Event
ually, and aa soon as the quartermaster
general can spare the funds for the pur
pose, all the troops will have these lockers
one for each man In the service.
For some time the War department
authorities who have to do with army re
cruiting have been desirous of learning
which of several systems of publicity
yielded the best results; whether, in other
words, csndldates for enlistment were at
tracted to the recuitlng office by the news
paper advertisement, recruiting poster, re
cruiting circular or tha display of the re
cruiting flag. Accordingly blanks have been
sent out to recruiting officers by the mili
tary secretary of the army with a view to
having the number of applications for en
listment classified under each method of
advertising, with also a record of the ap
plicants who present themselves not as a
result'of advertising.
The secretary of war has approved the
design for the "housewife" Intended for
the soldier's kit. Several samples of a
possibly suitable article were obtained in
New York and submitted by the commis
sary general of the army. The adopted
housewife will be made of khaki-colored
canvas, bound and tied with tape, that
material and color being conaldered the
most durable, enconomical and In li r.
spects suitable for the purpose. The house
wife will contain scissors and assorted but
tons, thread, needlea, pins and aafety pins.
It will weigh four ounces and Its coets, ac
cording to the estimates obtained from the
maker, will be Z7 cents. Every soldier
will be furnished one of these receptacles.
An Interesting test is In progress In
the army signal office, where electrical
communication in typewriting has been
under trial In comparison with the telau
tograph, the Instrument used extensively
st the coast artillery forts. The claim of
the advocates of the new system Is that
it la more economical and more accurate
than the existing method. The officers are
also conducting a competitive test of
typewriting machines with a view to se
lecting a machine for Issue to th signal
corps generally. There are about 600 of
these machines used in the corps at various
stations. In the present test the competi
tion Is confined to what la known as
visible writing machines.
The campaign and merit badgea, the de
sign of which has been approved by. the
secretary of war, will be made at the gov
ernment mine In Philadelphia inatead of
by a private contractor, with whom ar
rangements were made originally to design
and maufacture the emblems. It was
found that much better results could be
obtained by turning the matter over to
the artist Millet and his associates who
could be depended upon to make these
designs of tha badges proposed by the
general staff, and also those for the civil
war and for the Indian wars. Arrange
ments, satisfactory to all concerned, have
now been made by the War department
and the making of the badges, after some
minor changes in the approved designs, will
be done at the Philadelphia mint.
Some few rhangea have been made In the
scheme of srmy and militls mobilisation
so far as affects the assignment of reg
ular troops to the seven ramps of con
centration, towsrd which the cavalry, In

Is very much opposed to the proposed new
system of spelling. He says: "To spell
well is the distinguishing mark of a scholar,
as much as good msnners are of a gen

life of King Alfonso It la recalled that
Emlllo Castelar, the great Spanish states
man, once expressed the opinion that "the
bomb-throwing anarchist is a degenerate,
whose brain has been excited br de
bauches or ideas." This theory seems to
be borne out by the description his rela

ANYTHING FOR RESULTS.
One Direction In Which Pace gbaald

Minneapolis Journal.
One of the auditors for a tlg Chicago
packing company Interviewed by an east
ern financial publication says that tha
trouble with the Industry Is that It has
gone insane over "results." The watch
word Is "results," and to get "results" is
the aim and purpose of every foreman,
manager, superintendent or heed of de
partment. In every branch of the business.
Competition betm-een department heads Is
keen. From the center of It all, from
the fountain head, comes, with ever re
curring distinctness, the warning, "Get
results." As an auditor this observer
naturally had to dissect the business, in
the accounting way, and prepare tables
showing the relation of one thing to an
other In cost of operation. He saw the
effect of the fierce competition maintained
between the department heads snd saw
how callous they became after, a time.
when "results" meant promotion and
higher compensation and failure to get
them meant a frown. There are. 700 book
keepers putting it sll down in the books
and the central voire calling for reaulta
is swelled by fifty traveling auditors, esch
one at parting leaving behind the echo of
the warning to "get results."
