Sunt MU(aket of HeHrnt. The effort of Mr. Hearst to become (lovernor has failed. In casting about fur the reasons they are not bard to fi'd. At no time did he manage his canvass as becomes the shrewd office seeker for office. He did not placate; he did not cajole: he did not flatter, lie did not study the soft side of hu niau nature and play on 'ts heartstrings. For the opposltir U was the club and he askod unqv ..ouing obediem.v from those euIUtrd ander his banner. uut of this self-confideiu-e n series -of mistakes followed. One of these was bis coalition with Tammany Hall and "Murphy. Nominated first by the Independence League, be used tbfs organization to compel Tammany O take up his cause. Suecedlng here, the league lnvaiin second fiddle to Murphy and his men thereafter, and yet so devoted were its members to the jerson of Mr. Hearst that they acquiesced without a jnunuur. If tbey were not extremists lu this allegiance several justifiable opirt unities were given them to weaken this attachment if not to turn against the New York editor. He fought with McCarren in Kings County over a triviality and this cost him 20,000 votes. lie angered pretty nearlv all the leaders of the Democracy when by so doing he had everything to lose and nothing to pa In. What more effective argument could have been used against an ordinary candidate than rank au J recent Inconsistency? Yet Mr. Hefrst furnished this In the greatest degree. A year ago charging that Mr. Murphy and Tammany Hall had stolen votes enough from him to deprive him of the office of Mayor of New York, he enters Into a compact with these agencies ten months later to make him Governor. Characterizing Mr. Murphy as a thief who ought to be in prison, he takes up with him to make common cause against Republicanism. Yet the Independence League, created to fight Tammany Hall primarily and the trusts Incidentally, gloried In this compact. Hearst's attack upon Judge Parker was as 111-tlmed as It was needless. As the standard bearer of the Democratic party for President two years ago he was still entitled to its leadership, for he had not only the confidence and esteem of hla party but the respect of Kepubllcans as well. His ability and high character are unquestioned. Yet he was likened unto a cockroach. G rover Cleveland was once alluded to by Mr. Hearst as a living, breathing crime In breeches. Mr. Hearct ought to have known In applying these coarse characterizations that he wag offending a great body of Democrats without as well as within the State and turning voter? in regiments to Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hearst's ambition to reach high stations has closed. He will never oe chosen Governor of New York or President of the United States. Utlca Globe. Here aad There.

There was unanimity In Republican ranks this year that President Koosevelt must be made the vital isi,e of the campaign. And he was.

The achievements of bis administration were pictured iu glowing colors. , Voters were told that the work so well begun had not been completed, 4 ud that they must return a Republican majority to Congress If they were satisfied with that which he had done and wished to Indorse It Hence whatever of victory the Re publicans can claim out of the recent election must be credited to the man in the White House. He furnished them the material with which to make a winning campaign. His jopulaiity with (he masses and his well known wishes ns expressed in his letter to Watson Influenced the vote that has granted the Republican party an extension of -ontrol lo the lower house.

Tinier no Democratic administration did rvs!, practical "free trade reach such colossal proportions. Whether free trade hurts, or whether it -benefits the country depends upon the way It Is adjusted. The Republicans have adjusted It no that the protected list build up home industries and the free list co-operates to the same pnd. The protection Is placed upon the home products; the free llat comprises articles we cannot or do not produce. Under this wise arrangement the country Is wonderfully prosperous and our foreign trade Is steadily Increasing. Then why should wt weep? BurUaxtoa Hawkey-'

WORLD'S WEALTHIEST NATION.

I nlted State IIa a Lodk Lead Over All Otber Countries. According to figures just given out by the director of the census at Washington, the aggregate value of the real and personal property of the United States iu 1PU4 was $ 100,881, 11 ,00i. As the wealth of the country in 1900 is here placed at a fraction over SSS.rX).(HtO.OW, the provisional statement of $03,000,(H),fX)). which had done duty since that year, is now withdrawn. Accepting the $SS.(hux0.000 as a mark which will stand, the growth in the four years ending with 1904 was $18,CX),000,000,or "0.7 per cent. This would make the wealthln Kurd about $110,000,000,000. As set forth by the census bureau, all the great sources of wealth expanded by large figures in the four vears covered by the report. In that time real estate taxed Increased over $8,0UO,000,UJU, and t'.e products of agriculture grew $443,U 0.00O. Keal property taxed still heads the list or the country's items of wea.th, the ngures for 1P04 being over $55.000,000,COO. Second on the list stood railways and their equipments, with a value of $1,000,000,000. This in a conservative figure. Railway authorities In the past few years placed the value as fur back as 1904 at a higher mark than the census valuation here given. The first year that the census bu reau attempted to make any computa tion of the true value of the country s property was in 1830, when the amount was placed at $7,0JO.00O,0( O. The iopulatlon of 2.-i,000.000 then has expand ed to 85.000,000 now, while the wealth grew from $7,000.000,000 In that year to SllG.OOO.OOO.CHX) In 100G. Population. increased In the fifty-six years a little over three and a nan umcs, wealth has expanded u little more than sixteen and a half times. A greater addition has beta made to the wealth of the country In the four years end ing with 1904 than the country's entire u-oniffi ammmtpd to In 1S00. In the year of Lincoln's first election, at a time, too, when the 4.000,000 of negro slaves were counted In the property of their states. The per capita wealth tlm ennntrv was $308 In 1850. It Is In the neighborhood of $1,400 In 100U The census bulletin. Just Issued, so far as Is indicated by the summary which Is sent out to the press, does not go back beyond 1S0O. If It had taken a little longer and a little broader survey, it could have shown that between 1850 and 1900, while the country's population had been Increasing three and a half times, farm animals expanded in value six times, wool five times, the product of manufactures twelve times, pig iron production twenty-five times, railway mileage twenty-one times, and railway capital and activities grew at a much higher ratio. Manifestly, the United States has a long lead over all the other countries in wealth. We have no figures for the other great nations which make any such pretensions to accuracy as ours, but the best that we can glean showthat they stand something like this: The United Kingdom. $55.000,000,000; France. $50,000,000,000 ; Germany, $43,000,000,000; Russia, $35,000,000,000; Austria-Hungary, $30,000,000,ö0u ; Italy, $18,000,000,000, and Spain $12,000,000,000. The United States wealth Is more than double that ot any other country. It is Increasing double as rapIdly as that of any other country. As we have much greater natural resources than any of them, our lead must continue to lengthen for a century or two. As a billion dollars Is too great for the comprehension to grasp. It would be vain to attempt to show what, at the present rate of growth, the wealth of the United States will be In 1950 or 2000. The ratio of expansion in property values and In extent of trade Is several times as great as that In population. Our re sources In coal. Iron, lead, copper, zinc, gold, silver and other minerals are vastly beyond anything which has been re vealed In the work of the miners thus far. The time when thesedeposltswlllbe exhausted Is so far in the future that we need exhibit no concern about them. As the bald summary of figures given to the public by the census was defer red uutll after the election, there Is no chance to say that they were intended as a campaign document for the benefit of tlie party In power in the government. There Is no partisanship in the census bureau. The officials who are Inquiring Into the sources and the ex tent of the country's, wealth seek the truth, and they give It to the public as they find it. St. Louis Glole-Deuio-crat. Brran'a Career.

Opinions of THE IRISH IN THE UNITED

ssnaas A

X astonishing page in history Is revealed by statistics just collected of the Immigration of the Irish people to the United States. No such migration has ever been known as that of the Inhabitants of that island who since 1S40 have crossed the ocean to the number of more than 5,000,000 and are still coming

at the rate of half a million each decade. Detwecn 1840 and 1800 not fewer than 2.000,000 Irish men and women came thither. From 18G0 to 1S80 an additional 1,000,000 made a new start In life In this free country, and from 18S0 to the present time another 1,000,000 have been added to our population. One-fourth of the 5,000,000 are settled In the twelve agricultural States Ohio, Michigan, Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota. Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota. Only one-fifth of the portion settled In the North Atlantic States are on farms, but this tendency Into the centers of population disappears when the surroundings are agricultural, as is proved by the large percentage, more than 50, of those who have taken to farming In the twelve States named. The Irish are an agricultural people and it Is only because the bulk of them in the United States are not in farming districts that they seem less so than some of the other elements of Immigration population. In three New England States' and In many New England cities the Irish constitute a majority of the Inhabitants, and before muy years have passed they will do bo In other Eastern States. In New York aud Chicago they are barely behind the Germans. It Is no impossibility that before many years virtually the entire population of Ireland will have transferred Itself to the United States, leaving Erin to British domination. Des Moines News.

PEDESTBIANS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. .

.ECENTLY in Montreal

tor car killed a man who was walking In the street. The driver was found guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to six months in Jail by Judge Choquette, the court at the same time Informing the prisoner that he had rendered himself liable to

Imprisonment for life. The point of most general interest came by way of dictum from "the court during the hearing of the case. Judge Choquette informed the public that In all cases on the king's highway the pedestrian has the right of way over vehicles of any sort. Clearly this implies that If one runs down a pedestrian he will have to prove that the accident was not avoidable, or that the victim was guilty of contributory

negligence. In order to escape responsibility or even to

secure a reduction of damages.

x Common sense, as well as common law, shows no reason to doubt the soundness of this view. What Is good

law and good sense In England and In

good law and good sense In the United States. Here the pedestrian unquestionably has the right of way over

vehicles of any sort

It Is quite proper for the motorist to blow a born or ring a bell or give some other signal to a pedestrian to get out of the way. But the pedestrian may be deaf and not hear the signal, he may be blind and not know

which way to hasten, he may be crippled and not able to mrtv nuieklv. he mar be imbecile and not know the

OIL IN ALBERTA. Prospectors orkls; Far from am Nearest nallirar. From time to time stories of the oil wealth lying along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains have been re ceived, but, apart from several mysterious looking bore holes, securely capped. nothing has been either seen or beard of the large quantities of oil said to have been discovered, says a corre spondent of the New Tork Tribune at Plncher creek. Alberta. A few days ago F. B. Ferguson, of the Western OH and Coal Company, returned from a trip to the company's wells. He stated that the company would be shipping large quantities of oil before long. The fact that shipping had not already been begun, he explained, was due to lack of transportation and the difficulties attending a journey Into the oil country. Roads had to be graded, bridges built and dense forests cut out before even the machinery could be taken In. A pipe line to this city was the next operation to be at tended to, and within a few days this forty-five mile pipe line from the company's property to this town would be completed. Then, be said, oil would be pumped through to the reservoir here, preparatory to shipping It by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Mr. Ferguson states that the stories of the many rich strikes of oil la this district have not been exaggerated: In fact, he Is of the opinion that the mineral wealth of Southern alberta Is far richer than any one supposes. All along the slope of the Rock;' Moun tains, from the International boundary northward as far as the strides of civilization have yet reached, oil In pay ing quantities has been struck, be says. A lonely trapper In the northern wilds comes across a party of prospectors drilling for oil. gas or coal hundreds of miles from the nearest railway, and he wonders what will become of anything they may find, It seeming Impossible that It can be of any value so many miles from railroad accommodation. FREAK DOG HAS FIVE FEET. rMIIe Pap Ills Treated with Seora b jr Little Brothers. A dog with five feet Is a new El Paso curiosity which Is entitled to a high seat beside the two-headed calf, the two-faced cock and other treaks of the animal kingdom. This new freak Is the property of Policeman Harry Cherry, now of the park beat. El Paso. The dog Is & poodle, coming from the best stock and having a pedigree several yards long. It is a milk-white color, pearly teet!i, dark eyes and a cunning grin; In fact, all the marks which characterize a high-bred poodle. But. notwithstanding all these, It has five feet and 'or this reason Its two little brothers, who were ! brought Into the world at the same time, have begun to take notice that there is something wrong with their playmates and brother, and instead of welcoming him In that brotherly spirit characteristic of poodles they turn the cold shoulder and kick the unfortunate one with the extra leg from the nest The three poodle pups are now about 8 weeks old. Officer Cherry says he did not notice anything wrons with any of them until he saw two of the pups fighting and whining at the other and trying to push him away from them. He at first thought they were playing and paid no attention, but his attention was again attracted by the tame performance and b then noticed that the pup .who was being whipped by his two brothers wa a freak In that it had five feet The fifth foot is Joined to the left Croat foot and li complete, except for ts et that there Is aa thumb.

These figures are almost incomprehensible by the human mind, but they are as nothing compared to what they will be In the next fifty years, when the population of the United States will have reached the 150,000,000 mark. By that time the United States ought to be and doubtless will be the virtual ruler of the civilized world and Its merchants and manufacturers lordi of the lands thereof. Perhaps some idea of the meaning of the $3.000,000,000 statement may be bad by accepting it in detail. For example, the Imports have exceeded $100,000,000 in every uion'h of the past year. That Is. we Import $25,000,000 worth every week, or more than $4,000,000 worth every day in the business year. Our exports, of course, are even greater than our Iniorts. In August they were $ll,9,454,7GO, against $118,000,000 In the same month of last year, notwithstandlug the fact that canned beef, formerly a large Item" In exports, fell off far below Its usual amount. It Is Impossible accurately to forecast the future, Uut It Is safe to say that unless some great event entirely unsuspected should occur to cut down our population, the United States should enjoy uninterrupted prosperity until the time arrives when there will be enough to support all of its people In comfort and happiness, Kansas City World.

the driver ot a mo Canada should be moves with the left foot and the pup seems to possess the use of it as with his other feet. While the mother of the dog took no notice apparently of the freak and treated the pup the same as the otb ;r two, the brother pups recognized the fault as soon as they were able to see and ever since have been gnawing 2nd fighting as If tbey would have the oth er out of the way. Officer Cherry says that the conduct of the pups Is remarkable In the extreme, for they seem to recognize with the Instinct of human persons the frailty of the little brother poodle and seem to think that they are disgraced by association with him. Mexican nerald. WANTS THEM BACK AGAIN. Sweden Would Have Her Soas aad Daughters Return Home. According to United States Consul Bergh at Gothenburg, In a report to the State Department the Swedish government Is seriously considering plans for promoting the return to Sweden of such Swedish immigrants to the United States as are able to Invest money in real estate, says the Washington Star. As a step In that direction It Is proposed to send agents to the States in the American Union having the largest Scandinavian population for the purpose of Investigating the conditions there and using the Information obtained for the purpose mentioned. One of the proponents says that even now some emigrants return to Sweden, but that the movement Is counteracted by unfavorable conditions there such as detective Judiciary conditions and the bureaucratic state of society, which repels the Swedish-Americans, who are accustomed to more liberal social relations, and finally the Intolerance of tbe whole public In Sweden, which does not understand tbe self-esteem natural to the Swedish-American who by his own exertions has passed from poverty to good economic circumstances. He says that these unfavorable con ditions ought to be changed aud that everything practical ought to be done to promote tbe return of emigrants; that the Swedish-Americans are a prac tical people with wide views, hardy and strong men and women, noted for their sobriety and moral, religious lives; that a greater return of tbe better classes of emigrants would also bring more money to Sweden,' that the opinion of the Swedish-Americans Is fa vorable to such arrangements and that the American authorities are too noble spirited to put any obstacles In the way of such a movement although tbey recognize the good qualities of the Scandinavian Immigrants. Tbe pro ponent says that arrangements should be. made so that 'it would be easier to obtain land in Seweden particularly government land and loans of money on easy terms for the erection of good homes; that attempts si-oald be made to bring about the return of engineers and skilled workmen, who In the Unit ed States have gained good positions, and to Invite American capital, which would promote the utilization of Swe auu mines, waterfalls, etc. lie says that such connections with the United States would be of advantage econom lcally and in other ways.

WORTHLESS NOVELS. HERE has been an Interesting and perhaps really useful' discussion In various papers on the publishing of worthless novels. Trash of this sort gluts the book market brings down the circulation of good and useful books, does not Bring in money to the author, and encourages the public to waste utterly

Its time. It Is admitted that many hundreds of wholly worthless novels are published every season. Their contents might be classed under Carlyle's definition of "ditch water," save that this would be rather hard on the ditches, which do serve a very useful purpose. But a fact which Is not brought out by this correspondence, In which publishers and novelists and critics have taken part la that the worthless and absurd fiction published Is a trifle compared with the worthless and absurd fiction unpublished. Thousauds of laborious manuscripts are every .year delivered at the London publishing houses, large and small, which never find their way Into print London Saturday Review.

Teach Girls a Trade. 'Give the girls a chance," Is the un written motto of the Boston Trade School for Girls, whose work Is de scribed by Livingston Wright In Tech nical World Magazine. This enter prise Is of value to the working girl because It enables her to enter employ ment at an initial wage of about three imes what she could hope to receive f she began without training; and what is quite as Important if not more so she can enter at once the betterskilled trades in which are chance for advancement and hope for the future. The school prepares girls for such trades as dressmaking, millinery, straw hat making, and machine running. The knowledge of machines thus gained opens to a girl the doors of thousands of factories, where, as apron maker. skirt finisher, or in doing other expert work that she would otherwise have to spend years in hard, endless toll to accomplish, she enters at once upon the best rewards of her trade. The work of this school is of value to the community because It makes more efficient workers and better-developed young women physically, mentally, and morally out of these girls, who, the children of to-day, are to be the wives and mothers of the years to come. Graft Even In Sponges, Certain telephone officials were recently discussing the question of graft" In one of our largest cities when the following was told : A physician of tbe city health commission had ordered ten pounds of sponges. In due course he received a number of sponges that together fell short a pound lu weight. Later a voucher came, for his signature, so that the contractor might get his pay from the municipality. Of course, the physi cian refused to sign the voucher. "Why not?" asked the contractor. surprised. "For tbe reasou that the order calls for ten pounds," replied the physician. and the sponges sent me weigh con siderably less than that" "That's funny," said the contractor, with an air of doubt, "because I weigh ed 'em myself." "And so did I weigh them.' was the dogged response the physician made "If you don't believe me, weigh the sponges again. There they are." "What!" cried the contractor as he glanced at the goods in question. "You don't mean to tell me that you weighed 'em dry !" New York Times. Self-Coavlcted. "Why deny It V" he insisted.

Guide fur Solsnora. One of the neatest little deviivs for saving time and assuring accuracy Is the guide for scissors shown In the il lustration below. It should prove of incalculable bened t to dressmakers and others who daily cut cloth iu strips which must be of a certain width. This guide can be attached to any pair of scissors and does so measuhixü. not interfere with using them under ordinary conditions, when the guide Is not needed. The guide -omprises a flat strip, one end of which Is attached to the handle of the scissors.. On the face of this strip are the divisions of a foot rule, sliding on the strip is a pointer. It will be readily seen that if a strip of cloth 4y2 inches wide is to be cut, the pointer can be set at that division on the rule, and by keeping the pointer in align ment with, the edge of the cloth while tutting a strip of exactly that width will be cut. Iiesides preventing wastage from cutting off too much cloth, the guide obviates the necessity of marking the cloth before cutting. Cigar Holder. Smokers who use cigar holders are in proptrtioA-of about one to a hundred. This decided aversion to using a holder is not easily explained. Probably it Is due to the fact that the taste of the cigar is more pleasant than that of a holder. Dislike to holders nev ertheless, does not deter smokers from consuming ' the small end of the cigar.

While there are no feast days, any day may be a feast day, because that is dependent upon tbe supply of fowl. The day l walrus has been killed and brought home there Is feasting all over camp, but for the men only. The women eat when and where they can. When a jwt of meat has been cooked, the head of the family steps outside of his snow uou.se and shouts, "Oo-yook, oo-yook," which means some cooked food Is ready, and the men and boys pick up their knives and repair to the hut where the food Is to be eaten. The smoklng-hot nieat is taken out of the stone kettle in which It was boiled and. is placed In a large wooden bowl. Whoever Is nearest to this meat pile seizes a piece, probably half as big as his head, and looking It carefully over, selects a corner which appears most attractive to him.

Convertible Table. A Canadian recently patented a table which possesses capacities of adjustment and transformation which fit it for use for purposes which ordinarily require several separate articles. This table can be readily made Into either a work table, a lapboard, a shirt-nt-tlng appllauce or an luvalid or bed table. The top of the table is broad. with a thin, flat surface, adaptable as a sewing table or writing desk. At the AS BED TAB1X. four comers are oienhigs, beneath which are sleeves having tiumb screws. The . upper parts of the legs fit Into these sleeves and the height of the table adjusted by means of the thutuh screws. In this way the top of the table can be lowered so that It rests across the knees, In which position It serves as a lapboard. To Adjust the table for serving meals In bed to an invalid, one pair of legs are removed and secured In reverse position. One pair of legs thus rest on the floor and one pair on the bed. The braces of the reversed pair of legs serve In this Instance as a rack for the support of napkins or other linen. A drawer for holding needles, thimbles, pins, etc.. Is fitted iu guides beneath the table top. water Iu which the meat was boiled, which Is like a rich broth or bouillon. They reverse the order at civilized dinners and have their soup last Pilgrim. INDIAN CUSTOMS OF OLD. Klaas aad Chleftalas Embalmed at They Were In Aselent Kjrypt. Many strange Indian relics of bygone 1 da8 which bave unearthed on the grounds of the Jamestown exposition. near Norfolk, Va., tell Interesting tales of customs In vogue among the Indians three centuries ago and some of the old records banded down from the first settlers add zest to Indian traditions and Indian habits and customs. It Is known that the Indians who once occupied the preseut site of tbe Jamestown exposition to be held In 1907 carefully embalmed their kings and chieftains much lu the way the Egyp tians did. The work was done seien tlflcally and the bodies thus embalmed were preserved In an excellent condl tlon for centuries, being dried so skill fully as to look like the mummies of ancient Egypt. It is expected that some of these mummified kings of the early Virginia tribes will be placed on ex hlbitlon at the exposition, together with many other relics which have been dug up and added to the collection of Iu dian curios. Another Interestlug exhibit at tbe ex position will be a display of tobacco, of which these old Virginia tribes were so fond. It Is said that when tobacco was the medium of exchange In the ancieut colony of Virginia It was common thing for an Indian to trade off his wife for a few twists of tobacco, Pretty young squaws wen? worth more than ugly ones, hence there was a reg ular market price for Indian wives. The prominence which attaches to to ha ceo In the early settlement of Virglula determine! the Virginia State Commissioners to have as part of the Virginia exhibit at the Jamestown ex IMsition the finest tobacco exhibit ever arranged for an exposition. A tobacco palace, artistically decorated with to bacco tapestry, pictures, curtains and ornaments of every description, wll constitute one of the unique features of tin ex'ttsltlon. Indian Summer. Authorities differ as to the period of "Indian summer." and there are some who deny there is such a thing at all. Just as, there are Iconoclasts who Ieny the story of William Tell and the epl sode of ashIngton s hatchet. These doubting Thomases can be dismissed with contempt. Indian summer Is too poetic an idea to be trampled out un der the Iconoclastic hoof. It Is a verity that everybody believes In. Just when this charming climatic Interval occur Is a doubt that adds to Its mystic charm. October, with Its gorgeous dyes, I generally credited as the month in which Indian summer occurs, but la reality it is In November that nature pauses In her round of seasons and presents to man that peculiar loveliness so entrancing to th senses, a loveliness and charm that have made Indian sum mer a popular romance.
