Congress is showing a commendable spirit in acting on the President's request to protect the public lands from syndisates and frauds. It is certain that millions of acres have been grafted to those intending to make use of them in a ivay other than contemplated by the existing law. The remaining pubuc lands of the country should be reserved for the home builders and congress cannot too securely safeguard
Again the agitation has been started to change the day of the presidential inauguration from March 4 to April 30. No one seems to be against the proposition, yet the task of effecting the change is hedged about with so much detail, circumstance, red tape, and hard work that congressional patriots arc somewhat reluctant in taking the initiative.
Waco, Tex., has a mayor who is not afraid to assert liimlelf. When the city council impeaclied him and declared his office vacant the mayor quietly vetoed the resolutions, rendering them ineffective. That mayor is of the stuff that leads urmies and founds empires.

The Governor of Georgia has on his staff one hundred joloncls and one major. The major is evidently the darkey who passes the toddy to the gilt laced colonels in their occasional campaigns against the liquor supply of. the world.

Krving Winslow, wno says he is an anti-imperialist, nas vritteen another of his malign and traitorous articles for a nagazine, and takes occasion to abuse the United States 'for the wrong it did Cuba in severing her relations with Spain." The fact that they were wronged when freed from '.lie tyranny of Spain will be news to the Cuban folk. Just irhat Winslow is driving at is hardly manifest, for surely (ttch a self-proclaimed liberty-lover as he cannot maintain t^at Cuba was blest under the regime of Weylcr and his .'allow butchers or that the wretches that blew up the Maine were the sort of men to govern people. The more this fel»w Winslow talks the more plainly he assumes the proportions of a jackass in the public eye.
The Rockville Tribune declares that it would be sinful to put ihe Philippines on the gold basis because the people would kave to pay in gold debts contracted in silver. The law could reiy easify avoid any such hardship by stipulating that all iebts contracted prior to the inauguration of the gold standard should be paid on the basis in vogue at the time of their :ontraction. The Republican party can be depended upon to treat the people right. It protested against paying debts with depreciated currency in 1896 and it will not now go to the other extreme and oblige people who borrowed bad money to pay for it with good. •?*-.
The basis of southern representation in the lower house tpiey occupy some attention at the next session of congress. The situation hardly appeals to a sense of fairness, lhe nejrocs cannot vote at home but on the strength of the neg^o population m^ny representatives sit in congress and vote iirectly against the wishes of these disfranchised citizens. Ffce result is that the white voter of the south outweighs nany times tne white voter of the north. The whole delegation of Alabama was elected this year with less votes than Ivere cast tor a single congressmen in Indiana.
Regardless of party affiliations the newspapers of the country unite in declaring that Thomas B. Reed was one of the arainieat statesmen this land ever produced and that his judgments on public questions were worthy of careful consideration. In this connection it is interesting^to remember that lis last public paper was devoted to a most earnest defence »f the protective tariff. Many people who talk flippantly but superficially of "tariff revision'' would do well to read this ftrticle.
The trust problem is a great one and no reasonable person •xpects it to be solved at one congressional sitting. It will require years of patient work to adjust and reconcile conflicting interests and to prescribe the proper limitations of fcoinmercial aggrandizement. It is expected, however, that the present congress make a beginning in line with the presidential suggestion. This will accomplish something and unioubtedly curb many of the abuses that now exist.

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND,
Teaching By Mail. ,,...
The system of teaching in the best correspondence schools has been carefully worked out. One of the principal features is the use of speciallly prepared and illustrated instruction and question papers, in place of the text books used in the ordinary resident school. The papers are written by men of technical education, selected because of their fitness for the work. Each paper is also edited by one or more specialists.
The papers are printed in pamphlet form, of from ten to one hundred pages, and can readily be folded and carried in one's pocket for study during spare hours. Each paper is complete, and contains all the instruction required for the mastery of the following paper. The writers assume that the student knows nothing about the subject in hand that has not been treated in a previous paper. The illustrations are features of these papers and they are freely employed.
It is the custom of one of the best of these schools, as soon as the pupil is enrolled, to send to him the first and second instruction and question papers, accompanied by directions for proceeding with Hie -work, some "information blanks," and a supply of addressed envelopes.
After carefully reading the directions, a student studies the first instruction paper until it is thoroughly mastered. If he has any difficulty, he fills out an information blank, giving full particulars, sends it to the school, and proceeds with his studies. A written explanation of the difficulty he encountered is promptly forwarded to him from the school, and he is encouraged to write, at any time, for special information. After mastering the first instruction paper, lie takes up the accompanying question paper, and writes his answers to the test questions on one side of sheets of light paper, numbering each answer, and writing his name, address, and class number at the head of the first sheet. He forwards these answers to the school, in one of the addressed envelopes, and proceds to study the second instruction-.paper.
Chemistry In Modern Busines®.
A chemist renders very valuable service to a railroad company—and incidentally to the traveling public—by protecting his company against poor grades of steel in boilers and rails, and poor iron in wheels. Upon his analysis will depend the selection of water for boiler purposes, and coal for engines and blacksmith shops. Paints and oils are submitted to him for the purpose of detecting any adulteration, while babbitt metal and brass will be accepted or rejected according to his analysis. In short, the public little appreciates the scientific care taken for its safety, and knows little of the varied duties of the chemist of a.great railroad company. In like manner, the work of a chemist in any great commercial industry could be shown to be equally valuable and necessary.
It might be interesting, at this point, to add a few of the numerous "fakes" and adulterations which the chemist exposes. Alcoholic liquors are 'found masqueriding under all sorts of names. A "soot consumer" at 25 cents a pound may prove to be common salt worth, perhaps, 2 cents—and "pure lamp-black paint" has been found to be two-thirds brick dust. A "butter compound" guaranteed to double the output of butter turns out^ip. be worthless digestive ferment—and "freezing compounds" -n* f'l^'irtixtures" are unsatisfactory and expensive experiments which chemists will advise the unwary to turn away from. Antimony sulphide bought in the open market has been found to consist mainly of charcoal, and in the endless list of food products the chemist may find a fruitful field to work in, for there it is that adulteration runs riot These instances, together with the analyses for poisons, constitute a class of chemical work in which the spurious and injurious are detected in spite of the cleverness of impostors.
The Influence of Employers.
Many employers rob themselves of the flower of their employes' service, either through lack of tact in drawing out the best that is in them, or through pure meanness and brutality of disposition.
There is a great difference between work that is done mechanically, in the spirit of a task that must be got rid of, and energetic work, done in the joyous spirit of a creator. It is this difference that measures the distance between success and failure, or, at best, mediocrity.
A hard, exacting, unappreciative employer gets the former kind of service a large-minded, generous, sympathetic man gets the latter.
An ideal employer interests his employes in their work, from the start, by snowing that he is interesterd in them, by making them feel that he regards them as associates and valuable co-workers, not as mere human machines dependent on his will or caprice.
When the faculties are all alert, in an endeavor to do their very best, there is growth and development and, where this condition exists among employes, the results are most beneficial to employer and employed alike, and, incidentally, to the public at, large.
A man who can arouse the enthusiasm of workers and make them feel that, in giving him the best labor of which they are capable, they are also benefiting themselves as they could in no other way, is doing a public service. He is a practical educator.

End of Fly Time.
The flies no more Around us soar
On missions long so hateful Their time has passed, They're gone at last, And we are truly grateful.
At break of dawn, When night was gone,
They used to come and wake us They'd tickle toes, And ears and nose, And angry they would make us.
When mealtime came 'Twas just the same,
They'd at the table rally They'd taste each dish Ana dodge each swish ., .. By making sudden sally.
Right back again They'd come and then
W he an at in
And if we'd smite Some just through spite
Would in the soup go floating.
For still the flies Would tyrranize,
And efforts they would double.
Day after day The flies held sway
Ai|d by their pranks tormented
They'd tease and bite With all their might,
And none of them repented.

We'd start to read -.. But not succeed ... Without a lot of trouble v1

GREAT ORANGE CHOP
YIELD 250,000 BOXE# IN EXCESS OF 1901. ..
MARKET IS WELL PROVIDED
Fruit Is Larger in Size and as a Result Comes Fewer in th»cl Boxes.
1
JACKSONVILLE, Ka., Dcc. 15.—Latest estimates, from railroad men and experienced orange dealers is to the effect that the Florida orange crop is about one-half gone out of the state. The total crop will be fuliy 900,000 boxes, being an increment of 250,000 boxes, on account of increased! size of the fruit, which is phenomenal this year. Oranges run from 80 to 150 per box, 128 being standard size. A crop of 200 boxes at Seffner had 100 boxes of 80s which had to be packed in jumbo boxes. On the Caloosahatchee some 64s were discovered the crop averaging the growers about $1,25 on the trees. Probably a moiety of the fruit has been or will be purchased on the trees. The deadlock was obstinate for some weeks, but the growers could not control the situation as well as the buyers. The fruit was fairly well colored up by November 15, perhaps, but it is not high colored. The excessive humidity has diluted the coloring pigment. It is pale and lemonish. This year the color was behind the almanac, but the saccharine was ahead' of it, although behind the Florida normal In other words, the oranges have been a little watered. All serious allegations of rot have been eliminated.
VALET JONES OUTCAST
Man Implicated in Murder of Millionaire Patrick a Cook on Gulf Schooner.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Charles F. Jones, the valet who confessed he murdered William Marsh Rice, is working as a cook on the sand schooner Rappello in Galveston bay. The valet has had a wretched existence since he was permitted to leave here. Everyone seemed to know him and no one would have anything to do with him. He could get no work such as he had been accustomed to, and at last his brother-in-law,' who had an interest in the schooner, took him aboard as cook and general roustabout. He never did manual labor before, and It seems hard to him now. He has no companionship except that aboard the ship.
Tyler's Tomato Vines
Terre Haute undoubtedly is a "warm town" to use the slang phrase and some people apparently think it is a winter resort of high temperature. Under the caption, "Some Other Tall Hoosier Tales" the Logansport Journal contains the following: "Terre Haute, Dec. 14.—C. H. Tyler, on November 22, picked from one tomato plant in the backyard of his resilience a spray of blossoms, a fine large green tomato and a ripe one."
WHAT IT WEANS TO YOU
Few People Realize the Importance of Good Digestion Until It Is Lost. Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know it. They feel mean, out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well, do not have a good keen appetite, do not have the inclination and energy fc. physical or mental work they once had, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distress in the stomach. Yet all this is the result of poor digestion, an insidious form of lyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to cure it and make the digestive organs act naturally and properly digest the food eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and nerve tonics will never help the trouble they don't reach it. The new medical discovery does. It is called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is a specific for dyspepsia and indigestion. It cures because it thoroughly digests all wholesome food taken into the stomach, whether the stomach is in good working order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digesting the food, instead of making the worn-out stomach do all the work, gives it a much needed rest and a cure of dyspepsia is the natural result.
When you are nervous, run down and .sleepless, don't make the common mistake of supposing your nervous system needs treatment and fill your stomach with powerful nerve tonics which make you feel good for a little while only to fall back farther than ever.
Your nerves are all right, but they are starved, they want food. Nourish them with wholesome everyday food and plenty of it, well digested, and you can laugh at nerve tonics atid medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourished from a weak, abused stomach, but when the digestion has been made perfect by the use of this remedy all nervous symptoms disappear.
Who ever heard of a man or woman ilessed with a vigorous digestion and tod appetite being troubled with their nerves7
Good digestion means a stfong nervous system, abundance of energy and capacity to enjoy the good things of life.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly set your stomach and digestive organs right they can't help but do it because they nourish the body by digesting the food eaten, and rest the stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one and the same time, and that is all the worn-out dyspeptic needs to liuild him up and give new life to every organ and an added zest to every pleasure.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a godsend to the army of men and women with weak stomachs, weak nerves and justly merits the claim of being one of the most worthy medical discoveries of the time.
UNO PACIFIC CABLE
CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE POPPED IN HONOR OF EVENTS.
DEDICATED TO J. W. MACKAY
Message Was Sent to Roosevelt in Honor of the Occasion and Other Festivities Were Held.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 15.—"In memory of John W. Mackay, I christen the Pacific cable. May it always carry messages of happiness." Vsl
With these words, Lucrille Gage, the 11-year-old (laughter of H. T. Gage, governor of California, today christened the trans Pacific cable, and, breaking a bottle of champagne over the shore end. inaugurated a new era in. the commercial development of the Pacific coast. The landing and splicing of the shore end which is to connect the mainland with Honolulu, was accomplished •without a hitch of any kind, and was witnessed by 30.000 or 40,000 people. Ideal weather prevailed there being scarcely any surf.
Early this morning the steanjer Newsboy, carrying six miles of cable, steamed close in shore, and through a live-saving boat's crew sent a rope to which the cable was attached, ashore. Word was sent to President Clarence H. Mackay and the cable p.ikI Postal telegraph officials that all eas in readiness. The work of hauling in the cable was done so expeditiously that they arrived on the beach only two minutes before the cable touched the beach, and it was christened at 9:5o a. m. While the cable was being spliced to the land, end Mayor Schmitz delivered a short speech, congratulating Mr. Mackay on the successful beginning of the work. He also spoke of the importance of the undertaking and the benefits to the world at large that would result from its completion.
Refreshment tents were erected on the beaeh and while the cable was being spliced Mr. Mackay served champagne and other refreshments to a large number of specially invited guests. Mr. Mackay also sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt: "San Francisco, Cal. December 14.—To the Hon, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington: "I have the honor to inform you that the end of the Honolulu cable was successfully brought to shore this morning. "CLARENCE H. MACKAY. "President Pacific Commercial Cable Co."
When the spiking was complete late in the afternoon horses were hitched to the end and the cable was drawn through the conduit to the cable station. At the same time the steamer Newsboy steamed out to sea five miles and anchored the cable with balloon- buoys. It was picked up by the oable steamer Silvertown andl taken aboard. The splicing to the main body was completed tonight, and the Sil vert own headed for Honolulu at a seven-knot speed. The first message over the cable was sent from shore to Chief Engineer Benest on the Silvertown, congratulating him on the successful landing Several tests were made as the cable wa,s being paid ont by the Newsboy, and it was found to be in perfect condition.
UNDERTAKER ROASTED
Greencastle Man's Course in Chavls Suicide Case Condemned by Mattoon Paper
The Mattoon Star says: "Almost the meanest and most contemptible specimen is the greedy undertaker, and such a one showed up in connection with the shipment of the suicide, Chavis, to Filmore, Ind., The Filmore undertaker sent word here to ship the body to him in a pine box without any clothing on it, his object being1 to preserve to himself the sale of the coffin and the shroud. "When Supervisor Sutherland got this telegram from the lvoggish undertaker, he swore a great, big, round, healthy American swear word and said he'd be d—n'd if he would allow any corpse to be shipped like a dead hog Chavis should be buried here at the expense of the county and his relative# could come later and dig him up and take him back if they refused to provide a coffin for him before he was shipped. "When this was telegraphed to the Filmore animal who performs the diity of undertaker he sent word back that he would not be beaten out of the sale of ft coffin, so he would send one and that it would arrive in Mattoon this even ing. The relatives of the dead man telegraphed sufficient funds to buy a suit of clothing and pay a local undertaker for dressing and attending to the corpse, so when the coffin arrives it will be placed therein and shipped with some decency. "Ifs a good thing there was ice on the telegraph wires or Sutherland's torrid messages to the Iftdiana "cold meat expert" would have failed to get through The wires would have melted if they hadn't been in cold storage.
The undertaker's na.me is A. B. Hannan, and be conducts his business at Greencastle. Chief of Police Lyons joined Supervisor Sutherland! in his refusal to inhumanly treat the remains. Hannan afterwards called up Chief Lyon# and again tried to persuade him to ship the remains in a box, and Chief Lyons almost burned out the telephone box telling Hannan what he thought of him.' After this second conference Hannan then agreed to send the coffin. "Filmore, where the relatives of tho dead man live, is a little station just out of Greencastle, on the Vandalia railroad.
