The Supreme Court of Kansas lias

There seems to be a preponderance
of the personal pronoun “I” in Post
master General Payne’s statement
relative to the investigation into the
scandal In the Postoffice Department.
It is ae though Mr. Payne were afraid
that somebody else than himself would
get the credit for having discovered
the crookedness and moved to
straighten It. And yet Mr. Payne
was out of Washington and away on
a Junket at the time the work of in

Now that President Roosevelt is In
the tall timber and out of sight, Pat
Crowe comes once more into vision.
It will be recalled that he stole Mil
lionaire Cudahy’s small son at Omaha
more than a year ago and that the
police have been hunting for him ever
since. A day or two ago the police
of St. Joseph, Mo., received a letter
from Pat In which he informed them
that he was residing in a suburb of
that town, that he had been there for
three months, and that as soon as
the frost was out of the ground he
proposed to sow a crop of pumpkins.
Upon receipt of the letter the police
hied them to the suburb mentioned.
Mr. Crowe had flown, but they got evi
dence to show that he had told the
truth about having been there for
three months.
W, FINANCIAL SITUATION.
It is reported that Mr. Shaw, the
Secretary of the Treasury, is afraid
there will be financial trouble of a
more or less serious character before
the end of this year. He is not talking
alxmt the financial situation, but it is
the understanding that he is trying
to put the Treasury in such a shape
that it Avould be able to assist in check
ibg a panic if there should be one.
The purpose of his offer to take up
the 1908-18 three per cetit. bonds, and
certain of the four per cent, bonds,
and issue for them two per cent,
bonds, is to put the banka in a better
position to respond to calls upon them
for money.
To the ordinary observer there do
not seem to be any signs of a panic.
The crop prospect is very fine and all
of the industries and the railways
seem to have all of the business they
can do. Still, there is a lack of con
fidence in the continuance of the pres
ent period of prosperity. That there
is sudh a lack is apparent from the
gradually falling prices of both rail
road and industrial securities.
On Monday there was a very mark
ed decline in the prices of stocks and
bonds. Even the very best bonds and
stocks fell three to five cents on the
dollar, and other securities suffered a
decline of 10 and even 20 cents on
the dollar.
Just what the cause is of these fall
ing prices is not apparent. It may be
that more securities have been put
on the market than the people Want
more, In fact, than they have the mon
ey to pay for, or It may be that
there Is a belief that both stocks
and bonds are held at prices that are
too high. Whatever the cause, there
seems to be a desire on the part of
a great many of those who haVe beeh
purchasing freely of both railway and
industrial shares during the last two
or three yearh to get rid of their
holdings.
No doubt the decision In the case of
the government against the Northern
Securities Company has had something
to do with the fall in prices. There
is no information to be had as to what
the government’s position in regard to
other trusts is, and therefore there Is
a feeling of uncertainty as to the ac
tual value of all kinds of securities
which have the taint of a trust upon
them. Indeed It is most difficult to
determine exactly what securities are
not trust securities
But it is probable that the main
cause of the feeling of apprehension
is the fear that the market is over
loaded with securities which are not
desired by the public. The know-
ledge that these securities are stowed
away in strong boxes, waiting for a
market has doubtless alarmed the
holders not only of similar securities,
but also of securities of the very
best kind, and they are hastening to
dispose of their holdings. It may be
that it is this rush to sell that is
causing uneasiness in financial circles
in New York city. But whether it is
or not the fact remains that there Is
an uneasy feeling in financial circles,
and that owing to the large Offerings
prices of stocks and bonds have fallen
considerably within a very short time.
Secretary Shaw couldn’t do very
much to stop a money panic if one
should start, but there is no doubt
that it is his purpose to be ready for
any emergency that may arise.
CAN’T RE ( OMPfel i-Ell TO COMPETE
Judging from expressions that are
finding their way into publications that
are in sympathy With Wall stfCCt in
fluences the leading stockholders of
the Northern Securities Company, the
stockholders who were instrumental
in having that company formed, are
saying that if the Supreme Court
should affirm the decision of the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals, and the North
ern Securities Company should be dis
solved, the Northern Pacific and the
threat Northern railroads could not be
compelled to compete.
It is true of course that they Could
not be compelled to compete, but there
is no doubt they would compete with
out any effort at compulsion. If there
had been any way to prevent compe
tition between them, disastrous compe
tition, the Northern Securities Com
pany wouldn’t have been formed. It
is true the managements of the two
companies could refuse to cut rates or
give rebates or do any other thing that
is a part of what is called ruinous
competition, but it is doubtful if under
the Northern Securities decision they
would be permitted to enter into any
agreement as to rates.
They can find very little satisfaction
In the thought that they cannot be
compelled to compete. Just as soon
as the company that controls them is
out of the way they will compete.
There will at once begin a scramble
for business, and that means rebates,
cut rates and other features of a rail
road war.
It is doubtful If the railroad problem
will be solved until railroads are per
mitted to pool their earnings and com
missions are appointed to fix the rates.
There are of course grave objections, to
this solution of the problem,
but there does not seem to
be any better solution. The
public wants rates that are stable and
fair and it objects to rebates and other
favors that are given to the big ship
pers. It may be that now’ that the
anti-trust law’ has been upheld Con
gress will set to work to find some
way to overcome the difficulties under
which railroads labor.
Dr. Wiley's corps of preserved food
eaters in Washington, with whom he
is making tests of chemicals as pre
servatives of meats and other food
products, are said to have recently
taken on a most beautiful baby-pink
complexion. At the beginning of the
experiment, it is said, some of the
young men had complexions more like
one of the ‘‘s7 varieties” than anything
else, but now they are all fair, pink
and pretty of skin. What is the
chemical that has worked this
change? If Prof. Wiley will consent
to sell It, he can get thousands of
dollars for his secret. What a de

.delicate pink complexion!
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 15. 1005.
A YOUNG MAN AT FIFTY-SIX.
Not very long ago there was a great
deal said in the newspapers to the ef
fect that employers were seeking
young men for responsible positions,
in fact, for positions of any kind, and
that a man over 45 stood but little
chance of getting employment If he
lost his place. There is no doubt of
course that the preference is for
young men, and although there are
plenty of men beyond 45 who are just
as capable, and In every respect as ef
ficient, as when they were 25, the rule
doilbtles is that a man Who has
passed that age has passed his prime.
We are led to make these remarks
by the fact that the mafi who has been
chosen from among a hundred or mote
applicants to manage the elevated and
sub-way railroads of Greater New
York is 56 years old. He has been
given a contract for five years at $20,-
000 a year.
The task that he will have to per
form is a very difficult one, and will
test his ability to the utmost. There
isn't much doubt, however, that lie
will prove himself equal to the respon
sibilities he has assumed. He is a
Western man and made his reputation
as a railroad man in Louisville, Ky.,
and St. Louis, Mo. In the latter city
he handled the vast traffic that passes
over the great bridge that crosses the
river there.
When the time came for selecting a
man to handle the traffic on the new
sub-way system in connection with
that on the elevated roads in New
York city, this man, Edward C. Bryan,
was asked to take the place, notwith
standing the fact that he was well on
towards 60 years of age. The men at
the head of the new sub-way system
knew Mr. Bryan, and they believed he
could fill the position better than any
other man they could find. So all
of the many applicants, many of them
men of the greatest merit, were passed
by in favor of this Western man who
had not applied for the place.
Mr. Bryan does not look like a man
of 56. He has the appearance ot a
man of 45. That is because he has al
ways been careful of his health and
has lived a quiet life, avoiding all ex
cesses. The chances are that he will
be able to fill the position to which he
has been called for ten, and perhaps
fifteen, years, and at the end of that
time will still be a very valuable
man to the company.
ANOTHER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
SCHEME.
It is said that there is a movement
on foot to have a model made, for ex
hibit at the St. Louis exposition, of a
dam and a reservoir for the control of
the Mississippi river. It seems to be
admitted that the levee plan has
proven a failure, at least the levees
were badly wrecked by the flood that
is now passing off, and It will cost mil
lions of dollars to put them
back where they were prior to the
present flood. Besides, the levees did
not protect the adjacent lands from
overflow this spring. Just how much
money has been spent on the levee
system of the Lower Mississippi, It is,
of course, impossible to say, because
there has been no record kept, but it
is known that the government has
spent more than $30,000,000 and It is
safe to say that the states have spent
a great deal more than that. The
amounts spent by planters, and citi
eetis of towns along the route of the
river, are Unknown.
It is a question whether the levee
plan will be a success if persisted In.
It seems as If the floods rise higher
and higher as the hight of the levees
are increased, and the levees are cer
tain to be swept away sooner or later.
They may hold for two or three years,
but there is certain to come along a
flood that will break and destroy
them.
It Is said that an Officer of the Engi
neer Corps of the army has been sent
to points above St. LOuis to inspect
the country with the view of suggest
ing the building of a dam and reser
voir, such as has been built by Great
Britain at Assouan for the control of
the river Nile. According to this
statement it Is thought that a dam
and a reservoir could be constructed
at a point about fifteen miles above
St. Louis that would serve to control
the river.
The point that is being aimed at now
Is to have a model made of the pro
posed dam and reservoir for exhibit at
the St. Louis exposition, the idea be
ing to Interest the people In It and
through them Congress. A dam that
would cheek the Mississippi in flood
times and turn back the waters into a
reservoir would cost a mint of money.
The dam at Assouan cost $10,000,600
and the reservoir is to cost about the
same amount, but it would be a safe
statement that a dam that would
check the floods that come down
the Mississippi Would cost ten
times as much as the Nile dam cost,
and as for a reservoir, It would cost
about as much as the estimated cost
of the Panama eahal. But there is no
objection to a model. That would be
Interesting.
The condition of the hull of the
Spanish flagship Reina Christina,
Which has been raised from the bot
tom of Manila Bay, where it had rest
ed since that momentous May morn
ing in IS9B when Admiral Dew’ey sail
ed in and conquered, seems to indi
cate that It was not the shots of the
Americans that sent the vessel to her
watery grave. A sea valve was miss
ing, showing that the vessel was scut
tled by her crew before they aban
doned her. Nevertheless there were
fifteen shell holes in the hull, show
ing that the fire of Dewey’s ships was
accurate and, as to the result, effective.
Dewey’s object was to put the enemy’s
vessels out of action. This he did with
out exception. The precise manner in
which they sank is merely an inconse
quential detail.
Truly there is no telling where Cu
pid may be lurking and from what
unexpected source he may make his
appearance. At Derby, Conn., the
other day a deputy sheriff went to
serve a summons to court on a widow’.
He was good looking and she was
rich. They fell in love with each
Other and are shortly to be married.
Admiral Higginson reports that the
lowa's big gun was not burst because
of the explosion of a defective shell in
the bore. Witnesses say they saw
the shell fall near the target after the
explosion. The report says a "full
charge of smokeless powder” was used
for the shot to be fired, and which
wrecked the piece. There was noth
ing to Indicate that the gun had reach
ed the limit of its life. Was it the case
that the smokeless powder proved
treacherous, with such disastrous re
sults? It is a fact that smokeless pow
der lacks the full confidence of ex
perts. They do not know just what
it is going to do when they throw a
detonating spark into it. Ordinarily it
behaves very well and gives the re
sults calculated upon, but at unex
pected times it plays pranks, with
more or less serious results.
A novel society dinner is that to be
served in the Tombs prison, New
York city, to-day in honor of Miss
Sargent, who is shortly to be married
to Oscar Pouch, son of one of the
founders of the Standard Oil Company.
The dinner' will be in the private
dining room of the warden, the wait
ers will be “trusty” prisoners, and
after the feast the guests will be
shown through the prison.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Charleston Post (Dem). says:
“As soon as President Roosevelt learns
how happily the country Is getting
along without him we think he will
come out of his fastness and get Into
the gnme again. He couldn’t rest easy
if he thought we could do without
him.”
The Washington Post (Ind.) says:
"Some enterprising Alabama gentle
men have struck an odor of what they
believe to be oil. and are permitting
their New York and other Eastern
friends to subscribe to the stock of a
company that have organized on ac
count mf their keen scent. We can
not ixmiplain of a lack of money as
long as the promoters are able to
capitalize a smell.”
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
“Mr. Roosevelt applauds congress for
affording the Filipinos some relief from
the wretchedness W’rought by war and
pestilence by making a cut of 25 per
cent, in the Dingley rates on Imports
from their islands. But never before
our conquests of 1898 did Congress im
pose Dingley rates or any other rates
on articles Imported Into the United
States from any territory of the United
States."
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) thus
quotes and comments: “The negro Is
not fit for self-government. It is in
evitable that whenever he comes in
contact w ith the white race he should
be governed by it. The reasons why
are beyond the control of either; they
are part of the law of our be4ng and
of his. His progress toward a higher
nienta: ana moral standard can and
should be aided, but it must necessar
ily be slow-.—Providence (R. I.) Jour
nal.’ This comes from New England:
not from South Carolina. It is from
an editor in a conservative section;
not from Senator Tillman. It is not
necessary to discuss the proposition as
to its truth at great length; but it may
be safety assumed that President
Roosevelt and those who are associat
ed with him in his Southern policy be
lieve in It thoroughly in their hearts.”
Funeral For Fun.
Persons traversing Lamonte street.
Manayunk, yesterday, witnessed a curi
ous sight, says the Philadelphia Tele
graph. Attention was first attracted
by a long black ribbon floating from
the doorbell of a house near the corner
of an intersecting street. About a
dozen or more children were walking
up and down the pavement, some with
black on their dresses and others with
handkerchiefs to their eyes and ap
parently weeping as though their hearts
would break. The sight was such an
unusual one that one df the girls was
stopped and asked what was the mat
ter.
“Oh, we're just playing a funeral
with Dollie,” said she, pointing to the
step, and there in the entry lay the
(foil, whose funeral services were .be
ing held, in a black pasteboard box
decorated with all the finery dear to
the hearts of smali girls.

“Bolis" Forgave the Colonel.
Richard Harding Davis relates this
Incident, which happened while he was
acting as correspondent during the late
war, savs Answers.
A regiment of Scottish Highlanders,
noted for their bravery in action, dur
ing the heat of one battle were sud
denly seen to break ranks and run
in all directions. The officers as well
shared in the stampede, and apparent
ly made no attempts to urge the men
under them into line. Their behavior
was a surprise to everybody on the
field, and aftpr the battle was over
the colonel of the regiment was sum
moned before Gen. Roberts.
“What the goodness was the matter
with your regiment?” asked “Bobs.”
“Well,” replied the colonel, “there is
not a man in the regiment afraid of
a. Dutchman’s bullet, but we were
steered into a field literally infested
with wasps' nests, and you know, gen
eral, we were all in kilts, and with
bare legs.”
Some lae For It.
A Philadelphian, according to the
Ledger, tells this story of his nephew”
Five-year-old Robin shared my
couch the other night. He was a prop
er bed fellow, noiseless and kickless.
When I awoke Robin was revealed
flat oh his stomach, with elbows down,
shin on his hands ar.d studying my
very aquiline nose as intently as ever
Darwin studied anew toad. He was
manifestly wrestling with a problem.
As soon as my eyes opened he broke
out: "Uncle Will did you ever have
an accident on your nose?”
As Is my custom. 1 replied to him
in the stately phrase of story book
heroes: “No, Robin: I realize that
my nose is not all that one could wish
hs an ornament. But I was born that
way, and it has always been a good
nose to me. Hence, I am fairly sat
isfied with it.”
"Well,'' he sighed: rather hopeless
ly, though trying to put the best face
on a very had matter. "I suppose it
is good enough to smell with.”
Then I laughed.
Wicked. But a Good Bet.
The Parsons Herald notes that the
Rev. J. E. Brant has been placed upon
the superannuated list of Methodist
preachers, says the Kansas City Jour
nal. Years ago the Rev. Brant was
pastor of a church in Parsons. He was
a godly man, sedate and self-contented,
but he could be aroused to much en
thusiasm in a Presidential campaign.
Like most Methodist ministers, he was
a Republican. In 1888 he was an earn
est supporter of Harrison against
Cleveland. On the night of the election
he foregathered with a crowd in a hall
where the returns were being received.
Sortie betting W’as being done, and he
protested in his gentle way, but without
avail. At last a party of Democrats
came whooping in with some news
which they conceived to be favorable
to the election of Cleveland. They of
fered a big bet, and George Radcliff,
who was standing near the preacher,
covered their money. "George,” said
the parson, with great earnestness,
"don’t you know that It is wicked to
wager money?” Then, his enthusiasm
getting the better of his godliness, he
fetched his Republican friend a mighty
whack on the back and shouted: You 11
win that bet, George, hands down!”
Wit of a London Judge.
Judge Bacon relieved a long and
monotonous day’s proceedings at
Bloomsburg County Court, London, the
other day by a number of flashes of
characteristic humor, says the Lon
don Telegraph.
"I am afraid I have been unbusiness
like in this matter,’ ’said a lady. ‘Do
not do yourself such an injustice,” re
plied his honor, "no woman is unbus
inesslike.’ ’
“I cannot listen in patience to such
a story," exclaimed and excitable lady,
who was being sued by a milkman.
"And why not?” said the Judge
wearily: “remember,'l will have to lis
ten to you, too.”
“Good advice,” said his honor with
a sigh, “is at once the most valuable
and the cheapest thing in existence.
Everybody needs it, but most people
'would not give twopence fob a bar
rowful.” .. .
“What do you mean by the word
‘foundation’ which you are using so
often?” inquired his honor of a gar
rulous foreigner.
“I mean he is telling you lie, your
honor."
“Ah,” said his honor, “you mean
‘fabrication.’ There is a gerat differ
ence between the two things. Remem
ber that a foundation is something
solid, while a fabrication Is an airy
structure which has ho foundation
whatever.”

a vine in silken thread;
A filmy snow-white cap upon a downy
little head:
A dress ’twould make the winter drift
look dusky by its side:
Two cheeks with pure rose-petal tint,
two blue eves wonder-wide:
And, bending o'er, that mother face
imbued with heav’n own charms—
God bless the little woman with her
baby in her arms. S. W. Gillian.
—The remark of Thomas J. Hughes,
Mayor of Seattle, when the grand jury
indicted him for malfeasance in of
fice, was an interesting political obser
vation. “If the grand jury has in
dicted me," he is quoted as saying, “it
may as well Indict every man that vot
ed for me. I told them how I would
run the town and I have done just as
I promised.” i
