The fact that the books of the anthracite mine owners show sn:a!, profits proves nothing—when it is remembered Ulftt the same men who own the mining stock also hold the stock of the railroads that do the coal hauling. They simply charg.i themselves exorbitant freight rates. This merely transfers their money from one pocket to the other and enables them to. protest innocence when accused of underpaying the miners or of overcharging the public. Their perfidy is still further hidden by so frequently reorganizing these roads and increasing the stock that the dividends declared are small. In short, the mines and railroads both appear by the books to be poor properties, yet they have made the biggest flock of millionaiifla in the eountry.

It is fortunate .that Congressman Crumpacker is in the national and not the state legislature. lie declares that he would favor a law penalizing a Gounty $10,000 for each lynching that occurs within its borders, $5,000 of the fine to go to the victim's next of kin. The absurdity of the proposition is too manifest to call forth opposition argument, but it might not be a bad idea to penalize a county if within a certain time after a lynching her authorities had not succeeded in bringing some of the lynchers to justice. If such a law were now on our statute books some of the "best citizens" of Sullivan county would be either in jail or hiding out.

One of the most startling discoveries made in connection with the investigation of the coal strike was the fact that the 13-year-old daughter! of some of the miners had been forced to do night work at certain itiills, laboring hard from 6:30 o'clock in the evening until 0:30 in the morning. While the mine owners cannot be directly charged with this crime, it is nevertheless an indirect result of the system they inaugurated and stood for. It is an indictment also against the courts and officers of Pennsylvania.

The stafe board of education'can be dependedupon to do the right thing in the matter of school books. If the contemplated work of revision means an entire substitution of new matter, as has been claimcd, it might be well to advertise for new books, unsatisfactory as such an arrangement might be to the book agent brother of Superintendent Jones. However, The Tribune has all faith in the board as a whole and believes that the public can well entrust this important matter in its hands.

The medical and sanitary experts have adjourned their conference at New Orleans after having fully determined that the mosquito is responsible for the spread of yellow fever. Possibly it might have been a good plan to have continued the session until some method for exterminating the little pests was discovered. There is mighty little satisfactin in knowing the source of an evil if the evil itself cannot be reached.

If the South American republics carry out their expressed determination of boycotting English and German made goods as a mark of their disapproval of the outrages in Venezuela, this country will try and bear up under it. The South American markets are good ones and England and Germany liavo ertiayed a good trade there. If they lose it, we get it.

The figures of the immigration bureau show that the bulk of the immigrants now coming to this country are Poles #j»d Italians.' Of the former 37 are illiterate and of the latter !59 per cent. These tigures argue eloquently for the educational requirement for immigration now being considered by rangrcsB.

Heroafter small nations will doubtless be (ireful in (lie matter of borrowing nionej' froiyi England or Germany. Sinking the ships and demolishing the forts of an unresisting and lnjpotent country are hardly essential details in the collection of delinquent debts and in nowise redound to the holior of the collectors.

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND,

An Aid to Matrimony.

A well-known Chicago club woman, a Mr.*. Ulemmie Ellis, believes that she has di^covoted the secret of wedded bliss. Marriage parents educate their boys to dish-washing. When a boy who knoAVs the art of washing dishes grows up and marries lie will be fitted to do the house-work and make home happy. Make a good dishwasher of your son and you make a good husband. "How to be happy though married" will no longer be a thetrte of pessimistic debate.

Matrimony and optimism will be synonymous terms, and no David Starr Jordan will be needed to illumine with the specious sunshine of a bright intcclleet the philosophy of despair. A young man who numbers dishwashing among his accomplishment* will put ail the blue devils of Schopenhauer to light and send all the black woebegoneism of Thomas Hardy to pot. Mr. Greeley's advice, "Young Alan, go West." will be modernized into "Young man, wash dishes." Instead of making his wife's head a target for all the pieces'of china on the dining table, he will pick them up tenderly, lift them With care, fashioned so slenderly, and heroically endeavor to carry them to the dishpan without stubbing his toe over the cAt. to the impairment of his equilibrium and the destruction ot the coffee cups.

As the greater presupposes the less, it is manifestly Mrs. Ellis' idea that a young man who learns to wash dishes will necessarily learn how to cook, sweep, make the beds, chase the bedbugs, scold tine grocery boy, spank the children, and in all other conceivable ways be constantly on the alert to make home happy and harmonious. Train up your son in the way he should go, especially in the matter of housekeeping. leach him to raise yeast instead of the devil, to roast fowl instead of his wife, to break eggs instead of the ten

and when married he will waft, happiness through his household like the perfumes radiated b.v the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley. What woman wouldn't be happy if she could catch a man who in his own person is a combination of good servant and good husband.

New England's Menace.

Although (here is no occasion for a panic among the daiij farmers and stock raisers of New England over the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in that part of the

try, they can hardly view the matter with indifference. 'Where cattle are bred for milk, butter, and cheese they are much more valuable than when thev produce only beef and oleomargarine. Were Ihe disorder just mentioned to &pu.ad extensively, therefore, it would work calamitous results. l'Ottunately this country has thus far been free from that pauieular plague, but the experience of Europe shows that it is highly contagious. This fact justifies the utmost, vigilance so long as there is any danger that the trouble will get a permanent foothold on American soil.

The action of the Department of Agriculture in forbidding the transportation of cattle from any one of the New Lng land states to another is highly commendable. It has been observed in foreign countries that common highways over which diseased stock have walked become contaminated by the sore hoofs. Without doubt the same is true of railway cars and steamships in which such cattle are carried from one place to another. Healthy animals making use of the same facilities afterward are liable to acquire the plague. Iience tlie first step to take in seeking to prevent an epidemic is to stop moving the cattle about in any way whatever in a region that has become under suspicion.

Pains should then be taken to insure prompt reports of new cases. Where there is reason to believe that healthy animals either belonging in New England or brought through it for exportation, have been exposed to the contagion, isolation for a suitable period would be a judicious precaution. Some exports say that such a quarantine should last fiftysix davs If there is anv difference of opinion on that point preference may well be given to the longest interval recommended bv reputable which are unmistakably victims of the trouble already, most authorities advise death. This seem, like a stern and costly measure, but if resorted to immediately it may save the country millions of dollars in the long run.

An Ambassador's Indiscretion.

At one time in his distinguished career between 1896 tmd 1900, Sir Horace RumDold was British Ambassador to lenna. During his residence there he waa privileged to acquire a knowledge of international policies, relations and motives that was denied to others less fortunately, or less unfortunately, situated. He has made use of that knowledge by publishing a very readable book of reminiscences which contains passages that have led the secretary of state for foreign aft airs publicly to speak of t.he author's "reprehensible indiscretions. This is harsh language when applied to a diplomatist who has served with notable success at Washington. Paris, Stuttgart Vienna, Pekin. Constantinople, Athens, St. Petersburg, Stockholm, and The Hague, not to mention Vienna again: but it cannot be denied that Lord Lansdowne had ample juati. f.cation for what he .said. Sir Horace's references to Germany as "England's potentially dangerous and unrelenting foe" may be cited as a fair example of some of the things that had better have been left unsaid.

The position of an ambassador is such that he

even after retirement into private life, quite divest himself ot the authority formerly entailed upon him as the confidential go-between of governments. Even his impressions are not his own—for publication. He may and must communicate them to those whom he represents, but he cannot take the world into liis confidence without running the risk of crenting or irritating international ill will. The hard f™hng aroused in Germany and elsewhere by Sir Horn re Rumbold book has been the means of inducing the British government to make rule that hereafter diplomatists, whether on the active or retired li may not publish reminiscences without the express permission of the foreign office. Una '™Phod censorship of autobiographical industry mov be a, bad thing for the literature of the future, but it will have a salutary and calming effect upon international politics and relations.

COSlMISSIOrvED HIGH SCHOOLS

Several Are Not Up to the Requirements and .Will Be Dropped from the List.

Kassett A. Cotton, state superintendent of public instruction, who will take olfice A!arch J5, today appointed Lawrence McTurnun, superintendent of the Alexandria schools, deputy. The salary is $1,500. F.'D. Hester, the present clerk has been re-appointed.

Mr. McTurna.il taught in mral and village schools. He served as superintendent of Madison county from 1897 to 1902 Lust year he wa# chairman of the executive committee of tlije state teachers'" association.

He. was educated in the 'Grant county public schools Fainnount Academy, the Marion Normal and the Indiana State Normal, graduating in the last named institution in l.a97. He ha,s had two years work in college. He is married.

Mr. Hester was clerk when D. M. Geeting was state superintendent. Mr. Cotton was deputy under Mr. Geeting and was -deputy during Mr. Jones's first term.

Frank -Jones, state superintendent, of public instil ruction, who has been on a tour of inspection of high schools savs the recent order of th, states board of education that no school shi ll he commissioned or continue to hold its commission that docs not employ a graduate of a responsible university, college or normal school is of great interest. It will probably result in several changes in the conis of teachers.

Air. Jonc* says there are several high schools in Indiana that do not employ a single graduate of any university, college or normal in good standing. Tt will bo the business of the, board, should the question arise, to^determine what seats of learning are reputable.

Escaped from Quarantine. A man walked out of a quarantined house in Grant, yesterday and thereby caused much excitement among the people, believing that he had jumped quarantine. The secretary of the county board of health, Dr. Van ('leave was summoned and after investigation it was found that the house in which the smallpox existed, was double, and the man who had created the alarm lived in the uninfected portion.

Woman Stricken In Street. While shopping here yesterday, Mrs. James Watson of Middletown, was suddenly overtaken with heart failure, and for a time her condition was very critical. She was removed to the home of Henry Ernest on South Second street and Dr. Weir was called to attend her. It will be impossible for. heEitp return to her home for some time.

WHAT IT MEANS 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 for physical or mental work they once had, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distress in the stomach. \et all this is the result of poor digestion, an insidious form of uyspepsia 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. Hitters, alter 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 .ot 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 nel've 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 ahd plenty of it, well digested, and you can laugh at nerve tonics and medicine.

But the nerves will not be nourished from a weak, abused stomach, but when the digestion lias been made perfect by the use of this remedy all nervous symptoms disappear.

Who ever heard of a man or woman blessed with 'a vigorous digestion and good appetite ljeing Jrp^uble^ wijth ..their nerves?

Good digestion means a strong nervous system, abundance of energy and capacity to enjoy the good things of life.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will tCrtainly set your stomach and digestive organs right they can't help but do jt 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 build 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 meft and women with weal: stomachs, weak nerves and justly merits the claim of being one of the moat worthy medical discoveries of the time. 1*

CHICAGO. Dec 17—President .Tohn Mitchell arrived this morning from Spring Valley, III., where he was given a great reception Monday. He will leave for Seranton this evening.

German Papers Which Printed the Scandal Will Not Be Prosecuted.

SEfkLIN, free. 17.—The attorney general has notified Vorwaerts and other papers which accused the late Baron Krupp of excesses that their prosecution had been dropped.
