Almost as expensive as anthracite. In the trial at Boise the Jury la be ing punished severely, no matter what may be the fate of the defendant. "Anxious Reader" Is Informed that Henry James' newr novel, "The Prevari cators," is not based on the trial .at Boise. The emperor of Coreu wants It un derstood that he abdicated voluntarily. He would rather. abdicate any day than be fired. Senator Foraker Is outspoken against tariff revision. The senator's voice and vote are alwaya with tho againsts. A microscope that magnifies 16,000 times has been Invented. It might be tried on the Senator Bailey presiden tial boom. Mabelle Gllraan Corey denies the re port that she is to star in "The Merry Widow." She has' not yet selected her style of divorce. In enumerating his troubles the de throned emperor of Cores will natu rally place Marquis Ito's name near the head of the list. Governor Johnson of Minnesota says hla presidential boom is not worrying him. The governor is too big to be worried by trifles. "Mr. Bryan's executive ability has never been demonstrated," says John Temple Graves. True, but that Is not Mr. Bryan's fault. The democratic nominee for gov ernor ot Oklahoma is an Ohio man No office has ever succeeded in losing tho Ohio man on its trail. It U plain that public sentiment In favor of a new court house Is growing. It is also plain that public sentiment opposes any change of location. President Ingalls of the Big Four says the railroads support 20,000,000 persons. Yes, and the railroads are supported by 80,000,000 people. White and Brown are candidates for the democratic nomination for gov ernor of Maryland. The color lln4 is alwaya an issue In Maryland politics Colonel Watterson's dark horse may aa well understand right now that, so far as Mr. Bryan and the other candl dates are concerned, he will not do. Now that the scare has subsided the Navy department admits that it has not been definite decided to send a squadron of battleships to the Pa clflc. Tho report that Senator Lodge and Senator Crane of Massachusetts have quarreled la clearly a mistake. They do not oven apeak to each other and, therefore, cannot quarrel.

"The dom inance of senators In national conven tions," It declares, "has been b marked feature of politics and doubtless has had no small bearing on the sena torial usurpation of recent years." The unescapable Inference Is that the Journal would have all the United Slates' senators shut out of the na tional nominating conventions and re strict the commissions as delegates to men directly In touch with the peo-' pie. The Journal should make it plain whether its animadversions have any local application to Nebraska and whether Its Idea Is to fence out one or both of the Nebraska senators from going to the front as president makers. Nebraska republicans have not been represented In national conventions by Its senators since John M. Thurs ton was given the bouquet as a go away gift in 1900. It Is a little early to discuss the question, but if the Journal Is aiming at anybody or any thing it should let us know what is its target. ' TVS SVCCK8S OF ARBITRATION. A striking report comes from the anthracite region of Pennsylvania, showing the remarkably satisfactory results of tho system of arbitration of disputes between the coal operators and the miners a system in force, under terms of a mutual agreement, since the famous coal strike in the winter of 1902. The Board of Concil iation, which settled the strike In 1902 and has since been made a permanent organisation for the adjustment of differences, has reported that, its docket is clear, with not a single case pending before it. The coal mines of the Pennsylvania region hare been a source of countless conflicts between employers and em ployes, these difficulties culminating in the strike of 1902, which threatened to become a national calamity and called for Intervention by President Roose velt. Since that time the country has heard little or nothing of difficulties between the operators and the work men. The Board of Conciliation re ports that it has disposed of 159 cases since 1902, but one of which was brought by the miners' union. Of these complaints, 132 were settled without the necessity of appealing to an umpire, and in the twenty-seven cases appealed twenty-one were de cided against the complainants. The operators made thirteen complaints and the individual miners made 145. Of the 159 complaints made only twenty-nine were sustained. Perhaps much of the easy adjust ment ot differences has been due to the fact that work has been plentiful and wages high, so there has been lit tle difficulty in averting or adjusting disputes over the question of wages. But the net result Is a splendid vic tory for the principle of voluntary ar bitration. CAUP FOLLOWfRS' DISCOVERIES. There is always remarkable Infant mortality among democratic Issues. None of them ever lives to be a 4-year-old. In the opening of every presi dential campaign the democratic army finds itself camping on a trodden trail. In preparing for the coming battle some party leader usually discovers a smoldering ember, waves it over his head, discovers that It shows signs of fire and immediately begins to shout,- Hero la an Issue." About the time enthusiasm begins to spread through the ranks, some camp follower who has drifted away from the republican ranks sizes up the situation, recog nises the familiar landmarks and throws cold water on the temporary enthusiasm by remarking, "That's not new, boys. Here's where we camped four years ago." Colonel Bryan has selected the camp ing ground tor the democratic army tn the n3xt campaign. He has been spying out the ground and has dis covered smoldering embers and he la promptly and enthusiastically fanning them Into a blaze and labelling them as democratic Issues and battle cries. Thus far he has found three of them. They are: First. The ascertaining- of the value of all the railroads. Second. The preventing ot. overcapttAl liatlon. Third. The reduction .of rate to a point where they will yield only a reason able return upon the real value of the road. Through his Commoner, Colonel Bryan announces the discovery of his new Issues and declares that until they are followed and enforced no ben eflt can come to the people through efforts toward railway rate regulation All he asks is that victory be allowed to perch on the banners of his hosts and then the Issues he urges will be enacted into law, practically Initiating and Inaugurating an industrial and commercial mlllenlum. He Is certain tho plan outlined and championed by him will "meet with the hearty ap proval of the vast majority of the American people, democrats and re publicans alike." It seems almost a pity to recall to Colonel Bryan that he baa stumbled upon the relics ot ft republican camp-fire.- His three Issues are republican measures, one of which and tho most Important has already been enacted Into law and the other two have be come fixed republican policies, certain of final and successful embodiment int law before tfce next little be - tween the parties. "The reduction of leather who had Incurred his dlspleas rates to a point where they will yield ( ure hy refusing to play in with his po- only a reasonable return upon the real value of the road" Is a part ot the federal rate law. "The ascertaining of the value of all the railroads" and "the prevention ot overcapltallratlon" have both been announced as a part of President Roosevelt's program for further railway legislation, and un doubtedly will be enacted Into law by the coming congress. These proposi tions, as Colonel Bryan asserts, "meet with the hearty approval of the vast majority of the American people, dem ocrats and republicans alike," but-they will go on the statute book as repub lican measures. a rnornET or dixmster. The nation Is on the down grade, with economic and ethical bankruptcy In sight and nothing can be done to prevent the catastrophe unless ear is given to and action taken upon the warnings Issued by Dr. Charles J. Bushnell, a fearsome prophet, who, for some reason, Is compelled to spend the heated term in Washington. Dr. Bush nell is a graduate of Heidelberg, a sociologist, conductor of a "model pub lic playground," and bashfully con cedes, without much provocation, that be is one of the greatest living author ities on civic matters. The doctor has been delving into statistics and Is simply shuddering over the horrors of his discoveries. He declares that America has "4,000,000 paupers and 10,000,000 more on the ragged edge of pauperism." He has also discovered that tho annual cost of crime and pau perism in the United States Is $6,000, 000,000, and that the annual increase in national wealth is but $5, 000,000, 000. In other words, we are heading toward national bankruptcy at the rate of a billion dollars a year, all because of our crimes and our poverty. The really distressing feature of these statistics is that some, possibly many, enthusiastic but misguided per sons may read them and accept them as true. ' The country has too much pauperism and too much crime, but nothing like so much in proportion to our population as have other coun tries. The record showa, too, that, ac cording to population, the percentage of crime and pauperism In this coun try Is constantly decreasing. Advance ment made in medical Bctence is doing wonders In the care of the poor. The safeguarding of children from early contamination that forbids good citi zenship has become a feature of hon est and effective work in every great city, and education Is uplifting Amer ican citizens above those of every other nation on earth. Dr. Bushnell's alleged statistics are worse than worthless, be cause they are untrue, misleading and may work damage. . Statistics should be kept out of Dr. BushneH'a reach. A A'ORTK AND SOUTH TBOR O UQIJ FARC Every important Improvement tor the upbuilding of a growing city is bound to meet with more or less oppo sition. This Is again being exem plified with respect to Omaha in -the matter of the opening of Twenty fourth street as a north and south thoroughfare. It is perfectly natural that those whose Immediate and personal Inter ests are apparently sacrificed should enter objection and declare their pref erence to be let alone. But the open ing of this street has long been recog nized as Imperatively necessary for the future growth of the city, al though it has been deferred from time to time for one reason and an other. It might be deferred again, but that would not be a final settle ment, because It would be brought back again In a few years at most, when conditions might make it still more costly and expensive. The founders of Omaha laid out the townslte with a view to its expansion to the nortji, fully convinced that would be the direction population movement would take. Quite con trary to their expectations, the prin cipal growth of Omaha has been di rectly west and Twenty-fourth street, which was originally the west boun dary of the city, is now only a stone's throw from "the business center. It has, moreover, become the natural di rect route between South Omaha and North Omaha and although it may be many years before it becomes a busi ness street, if at all, opening it as a thoroughfare will bring immediate benefits and economies in street traf fic that would more than counterbal ance the outlay Involved. Those who object to this proposed Improvement realize what the Omaha of the future U to be still less than did the pioneers realize the Omaha of today. Our old friend Clarence H. Venner is seeking new notoriety and money balm for lacerated feelings by appeal ing to the courts to compel "Jim" Hill to turn over about $10,000,000 of al leged profits pocketed on the deal In Burlington stock at the expense ot the Great Northern. Thjs Is the sane Venner who has figured In several sim ilar proceedings heretofore, including one to extract a million dollars, more or less, from the Omaha Water com pany when It reorganized aftea the re ceivership. Vernier's suits at law are always projected with pyrotechnics, but he is usually ready to listen to offers to settle. Gallantry Is about aa foreign to the makeup of ex-Superintendent of Schools C. G.

He should have sent his auto mobile by express or, better yet, ho should have waited until he wa first elected to congress and have franked it through by mail. Another Omaha policeman has lost his star for too frequent Indulgence In "the cup that cheers." A member of the police force ought to realize that as a law officer he is expected to Bet a good example by his own conduct for the conduct of other people. An In toxicated policeman Is a positive men ace Instead of a protection to the com munity. John N. Baldwin's boast that the railroads will begin to fight with all possible dispatch fully explains the proceedings which they are taking be fore, the State Board of Equalization. The railroad lawyers are going on the theory that if they fight everything they may win something. That flve-dollar filing fee for candi dates who want their names put on the official primary ballot may hold down the number of entries as com pared with last year, when no filing fee was exacted, but it Is not likely to tar anyone who knows the value of free advertising. Colonel Bryan's announcement that he will hold in abeyance his advocacy of government ownership ot railroads is said to be loudly applauded by dem ocratic leaders everywhere. Also softly applauded by Harrlman, Hill, Gould and all the other railway mag nates. " The New York legislature has passed a law prohibiting any candidate for governor of that state from spend ing more than $10,000 for his polit ical campaign. That looks like a piece of class legislation, aimed di rectly at William Randolph Hearst. With the Japanese war and the tele graph Btrike ended, and the trial at Boise about concluded, the Central American revolution and the Dahlman Jacksonlan democratic feud are about all that la left to command the atten tion of the war correspondents.

IEN.tTOHI.AI, IIK-IP IN IOWA. Shall Primary Vote by Districts or Whole State Govern. Philadelphia Press. They are having a dispute In Iowa as to whether member of the legislature In voting for a United States senator shall be guided by the primary vote in their severul districts or by the vote In the state at large. It Is evident there U going to be a warm contest between Benator Allison, who lu a candidate for re-election, and Governor Cummins, who wants the place, and It may be that the determination of the cuestlon raided will have "me Influence upon the result, the friend of Governor Cummins generally taking the ground that the vote of the whole stnte should control the legislature. The primary law iUelf does not mako It clear, and It says merely that "the vote U!on candidates for the office of senator In the coiiRrrss of he t'nlted Etates hall be for the sole pur pose of ascertalntn j the seotlnxnt of the voters In the respective parties." In all other ststes where surh vote Is t.ken the majority In the state has bee.i accepted without resrarn to the vote in tne several legtlHtlve districts It is jxuslble, th'.ugh hardly probable that f.de candidate msy carry a majority of instructions by dis tricts at the same time that snother candi date ha a majority of the total vote In the state. The chanres of surh a rnult seem so slight, however, that It Is not easy to see how there can be much rf a d's turhanr over the mutter, thouch in Iowa politics qu'te a Isrpre rmnpus can L mad out of ovxt 10 nothing.

There were until recently twenty-four can didate who had expressed a desire to ba examined, but two of these have with drawn from' the competition. Those who qualify in the coming examination will be added to those who have been found provisionally qualified In the examination recently held. All of them will enter th army tnedlcal chool In Washington In September. The War department la In receipt of re ports which contain complaint that a com paratively hort use of the shelter tent half when packed on the saddle, a pre acrlbed In the regulation, causes a chafing which wears through the canvas. The quest of a possible remedy ha resulted In a report from the chief of ordnance that it I impracticable to modify the saddle so to prevent a certain amount of (Sharing,, while the quartermaster general report that the only relief would be In an Increase of the weight of the canva or It rein forcement in certain places. The military authorities deem neither plan advisable and It wllf probably be necessary to Issue such Instructions as will cause a special effort of careful packing In order to mini mize the wear to which all article of equipment are exposed. The Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts I desirous of re ceiving from the" government the usual arm and ordnance material, the Issue of which la authorised by law. There la, however, no army officer on duty' t that Institution as professor of military science and tactics and It Is understood the col lege authorities do not desire the detail of an army offloer to act In that capacity, the college already being supplied with a competent Instructor. Th War depart ment has decided that the ordnanoe ma terial may be Issued to the college on the flllnr; of the usual bond In view of the faot that the college Is required by con gress to provide military Instruction, that It I In the preferred clars for the detail of an Instructor as well as for the Issue ot arms, and that uch Instruction Is pro vided at the college without the detail of an army officer as Instructor thereat. The president will probably send a spe cial message to congress early in the ses sion approving of a general bill which will provide for an Increase In service pay, both of the commissioned personnel and the en listed force. It Is altogether too early to predict the character of the general meas ure. The War department will prepare a bill which relate to the military establish ment and which, If the law were properly adjusted, would apply equally well to the navy, marine corps and revenue cutter service. But It so happen that there are officers In the navy who are not on army pay and this may require a special provi sion in their behalf If they are to receive an Increase. It seems also there will have to be a special provision for the enlisted force of the naval hospital corps, the pay of which Is established by law Instead of being the subject of executive order, as In the case of the rest of the enlisted force of the navy. It 1 expected that the presiden tial document recommending the Increase of service pay will have due Influence at the capitol. In addition to which there will be an effort made on the part of the repre sentative of the War and Navy depart ments to promote this worthy cause among the representative and senatorB who will have to do with the committee delibera tions of the project. P1GHT OX CATALOGUE HOUSES. Spirited Contest Between Large and Small Dealer. New York Evening Post. A "trade battle" Is being waged In the west between the small merchant and the large "catalogue houses." The former com plain that they are being driven to tlit wall. In defense, they have formed the Home Trade League of America. It alniB to forc the wholesale dealer, manufac turer nd Jobber to give local merchants the same rate as the mail-order concerns. But the home trader got themselves Into serious trouble by conspiring to make a run on the large houses for catalogues. Theee, being worth fl each, exclusive of postage, were applied for by thousands of trader all over tho west, thua putting a large cost upon the big concern. The Ut ter have now taken action In a Minnesota court against the email trader for using the mails n furtherance of a mischievous conspiracy. Thee "wars" are constantly being declared In the world of trade. There keems to be an Idea deep-seated In many minds that people should be guided In buy ing and selling by eentinient, whereas It is certain that the purchaser will go to the cheapest and best market, and th seller will demand the highest price that he can tut.

Tall oaks from little acorns grow, and Jamea C. Dahlman 1 one of them. He went Into the live stock commission busi ness In Omaha a few years ago. He looked the ground over and decided It was timo the city had a democratic mayor. They had had none for seventeen years, nnl Dahlman started out to break the spell. He announced himself as a candidate. Tho old-timers said: "Well, he's got nerve'. Only lived here a few years and wants to be mayor! Nothing In It, gentlemen; posi tively nothing In It." But there was something In It, for ho was nominated by the democrats. The opposition put up a most respectable and high-minded person who used a glove when shaking hands with the votrra. "Cowboy!" screamed the opposition. "Cowboy! Ta-a-ah, nothing but a cowboy!" "Fine," said Dahlman. "Cowboy la good enough for me. I'll put my chips on that." A night or two after the cowboy re proach began to circulate Dahlman went to a meeting and made a speech. "They've been out west looking up my record," he said, "and they And I have been a cowboy. You bet I was a cowboy, and I want to say here that I was a good cowboy. No steer ever came down the pike that was too big or too swift or too ugly for me to rope and tie. No horse ever came out of the corral that I couldn't ride until ha was worn to a frazzle. No broncho could buck me off, and no bron cho can yet. And I want to say to you people of Omaha that I am still a cowboy, and it any of your grafters or crooks come to me when I'm mayor for I am going to be mayor I'll rope and hog tie 'em and brand 'em quicker than I ever roped and tied a ateer, and that's going some." Whereupon there were loud cries, and the opposition took a new tack. "He played poker," they said. "You bet I played poKer," answered Dahlman, "and I play poker now, and If there 1 any man In thl audience who ever sat tn with me and didn't know he had been In a poker game after he got through I want him to stand up o I can ae the color of hi hair." Mora loud cries and tumult and miscellaneous noise. Meantime Dahlman had organised hi cowboy qnartet, four young fellow who could sing, dressed them In cowboy rig, chaps and all, with bis pis tol and broncho, and the cowboy quortet permeated Omaha, singing and firing pistols at every Dahlman meeting and bringing out great crowd. It looked like a weep for Dahlman. The opposition wa nervous. "He couldn't write a veto message gram matically or mak a grammatical speech If he was elected," they said. "Now, here" replied Dahlman. "I was born out In a frontier town and there were even of u In the family. There wa a sod schoolhouse a few mile away, and we didn't ge much schooling, because we had to work pretty hard to help out our daddy and support the family. I'll admit I ain't very strong on grammar, but I've got horse sense. I suppose I can hire a man to write my veto messages for me and my speechea and fix them up nice and grammatical I suppose I can do that and It won't cost me much but I want to tell you folks I'm not going to do It.
