OLITICAL The Stmrhuoil QuriUon. Xotwiilistaiiding the unexpected opposition that has develojKNl in regard io the admission to Statehood of Arizona and New Mexico, it is probable that the effort will be successful if the advH-at'S of Statehood will bring the proper pressure to Iar on Congress. The Statehood bill has been favorably rciMirtiMl by the House Committee on Territories, which gives a reasonable assuraniv of its passage by the lower house, but opposition lias arisen in the Senate, which threatens to be fatal to the measure unless some extraordinary Influence is set to work. Senator Itevcrblgf, chairman of the Senate Cominittee, professes to see an awful example of th unwisdom of haste in the fact that several important errors were made in the bill admitting Oklahoma, and as a consequence he thinks his committee ought not to take the risk of passing a Statehood bill in the limited time afforded by the short session. If the bill fails at this session, it will stand no chance sit the spiial session, to be called in March, and will be postponed indefinitely. It. is needless to say that this talk of the dangers of haste is rank iopp'ock in view of the fact that New Mexico has been knocking at the dors of Congress for more than a generation, and every fact jertalnlng to its case, as well as that of Arizona, Is as well known now as It can ever be. Both territories are fully qualified for Statehood, and each has more population, churches, schools and other aipurtenances of self-sustaining civilization than a number of territories had when they were admitted to the Union. There is not the slightest danger that either territory will be a "rotten borough" like Nevada, lioth are rapidly filling up with progressive American homeseekcrs, who are passing through Kansas City at the rate of 40,000 a month to settle In the genial country of the Southwest, and all that is reeded to make Arizona nud New Mexico ideal places of residence Is the right of self-government and the removal of the limitations of territorial government. There is, or ought to be, no politics In the question, Inasmuch as both parties pledged themselves in their national platforms In favor of admission, and no valid reason exists why the rledge should not be kept at the earliest opportunity. Th'i inflr,ential newspapers and citizens everywhere who believe In fair play should join In the demand for equal rights for the citizens of these territories. Kansas City Journal. Iteraember the Maine. It will soon be eleven years since the lattleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor, yet the wreck of that splentlid lighting machine still rests on the muddy bottom of the sea. not only an obstruction to navigation, but a constant reproach to the country that owned It. Numerous efforts have hecn made to get the wreck removed, and finally President Itoosevelt has called the attention of Congress to the matter. Now that American domination of Cuban affairs is a thing accomplished, It would seem that the last argument against removing the hulk had been itself removed. There should tie a new slogan, 'iiemember tiie Maine," not In the vindictive sense or hi the overwhelming wave of popular fervor which precipitated the Spanish-American war, but iu the Interests of our 'national honor and for the glory of history. There have been guesses that the removal of the Maine will disc-lose the fact that the explosion which destroyed the ship was caused by the Spanish, and, on the other hand, there have been counter-guesses that the facts will show the explosion to navy been due to natural causes entirely independent of the Spaniards. Whatever the facts disclose, there can hardly le any question that the wreck should be removed. The disclosure of the secret is only incidental, but even that should not deter the government from acting. If an injustice has beea done to Spain In this particular respect, it is too late for more than formal apology and this should lie tendered. Hut the war did not rest on the uncertainty of the blowing up of the battleship Maine, and there was ample warrant for this country's action completely beyond the destruction of the ship. If the fact is that the explosion was due to the Spaniards, it Is equally too late for reprisal. ' The truth can hurt or help no one now, but it should be known nevertheless. The ocean hides the sei ret, and it also hides the remains of many gal lant American seamen who found a watery grave. Something is due to them aüd their memory. The last place In all the world for the wreck of the Maine Is the place where it rests at this moment. Kansas City Jour nal. For (be Steel Trust and Kurope. Protection has built up our Indus tries, given employment to our people. iaade our country rich and prosperous. 'it is now proposed, by taking the duty off steel, to ruin the independent steel operators in their property and busi ness, turn hundreds of thousands of men out of employment to seek work in other directions, by giving up our home market, which we have enjoyed so long under protection, to foreign countries and the steel trust. The proposition of Mr. Carnegie advocating free steel Is nothing more or less than legislation In favor of the steel trust and Europe, and against the interests of the people of the I'nlted States. There would then be nothing to pre vent the formation of n great International trust, made up of the United States Steel Trust on this side and the German and British operators on the other. Such a trust would drive nil other steel concerns out of business and control the steel production and steel markets of tin; world. Free steel would lead to Just such a result. Washington Post. A Ilemoeralle Tariff Hill! Generally waking, the Democratic newspapers are In favor of having a tariff bill reiorted out by the Democratic minority of the Committee on Ways and Means. They would wel come such an opportunity to show the Democratic hand on the tariff ques tion. But th minority leaders are not so certain that this would be a

4-t-

g OMMEAJT i good move, politically; not so nnxJous to show the Democratic hand. They ire far from certain that a tariff bill embodying sweeping reductions in the existing rates of duties would com mand united support among the Dem ocratic members of the House and Senate. The South, which furnishes the biggest part of the Democratic repre sentation in Congress, could not be relied upon to stand by a free-trade bill or any set ot schedules which sliou;i reduce the measure of protection which Southern industrial and agricultural ntercsts need and must have. Accord ingly the situation Is full of embar rassment and hazard for the Demo cratic leaders. On the other hand, the Hepublicans weuld be only too glad to have a minority bill brought forth. It would crystallize the issue and simplify things greatly. By all means let us have a chance at a Democratic mi nority tariff . bill. American Econo mist. Conservation of Resource. Probably the most important mat ters to be discussed by the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, the call for whose lOo1.) meeting In Ixniver next August has been issueJ, will re late to the conservation of the na tional resources and particularly he timber supply. In connection with this phase of n subject which has already attracted the serious attention of the federal and state authorities throughout the country, it is interesting to reflect that half a century ago the problem was how to destroy, not save, our forests. The great menace to the development of the vast wooded areas of many portions of the West was the very trees whose destruction is now lamented. In the pioneer days the pathSnder found his way blocked by almost Impenetrable forests In many portions of the Central and Far West. When he settled in a promising location he had to attack the trees be fore he could plant his crops A for est tire was, generally speaking, more often a blessing than otherwise, for it saved him the lalr of clearing off the ground. It was rarely a calamity save when It destroyed lives or prop er! v in the little settlements which formed the sparse oases in a desert of trees, to use a paradoxical metaphor. The trees which were cut down were for the most part In the way There was little market for them and no way to get them to the few markets that were opened, until the railroads blazed the way to the uttermost fron tiers of civilization. Uncounted billions of cubic feet of timber were worse than wasted, like murge's of go!d thrown away because there- was nothing to buy with them. To-day we are lying awake nights and calling big congresses and conventions trying to devise remedies for the colosal ex travagance of those who wast d our lrboreal patrimony. The sins of the fathers are being visited mon the third and fourth generation in this re spect, and the chances are that wo shall pass the punishment on to pos terity, even as we suffer for the deeds of our own ancestors. Nothing could speak more ''oqucntly of the tremen dous progress of the United States than this transformation of a menace into a necessity. If an Infinitesimal fraction of what was ruthlessly de stroyed fifty years ago could be mirac ulously restored, how many problems of to-day could be solved! All this, of course, belongs In the domain of spec ulative sociology. The pressing need of to-day Is to send big delegations to the conservation congresses. Kansas City Journal. Cloud In Our Tariff. The tariff is not an evil. It Is about the best way ever devised to paj taxes. Would that we could pay our city, county and State taxes in the same way.. One hardship of taxpaylng Is that a man has to ''plank down" a great lot of real money at one time. We pay our national t ixes In broken doses and we pay then more cheerfully. Furthermore, everybody who buys food or clothes, or tools, or furniture, or anything else, helps pay the national taxes. Thousands of people pay no city, county or State tax. The tariff gets a lick at everybody. The government method of collecting taxes Is the best way ever devised. Nobody wants to pay their national taxes In cash, even though they would be less. We need never hope for any less taxes. Birmingham (Ala.) ledger. One on the Teacher. The teacher was explaining to Tommy the difference between the words "foreign" and "dornest lc."

EOF. W. I. THOMAS of 1he University of Chicago is the author of an article entitled "The Psychology of Woman's Dress," In which he analyzes and discusses motives underlying the feminine iortloii of humanity's love of dress and decoration. Aftor Illustrations of the passion of humanity, both male and femal-?. for adornment. Prof. Thomas comes to the discussion of the

LB HI

reasons why men and women clothe themselves. "Clothing, he says, as distinguished from ornament and dress, "had a particular development in cold climates." Then he proceeds to the effects of clothing. "The clothing of women," he says, "when it was developed to the point of covering her whole person, took on an Interest of its own, but it had the disadvantage of obscuring the figure. This difficulty has been met by fashioning the clothing on Hues which indicate and even emphasize the outlines of the body.'' After dwelling in detail on this ioint he says that "the ingeni.lt j' of man has found a place on woman's dress for every object worn by savage man, and for those for whicji no other place was found he has dovis d the hat." Pointing out that "as society advances there is a tendency In man to give up ornament and In woman to take on more of it." the professor finds that "woman, limited In her Interests by the proprietary tastes of man," finds "her occupation is to charm." ''Fashions are made by dictators, and women do not wear what they want, but what the manufacturers and tradespeople want them to want The people who supply them also control them." He pnxveds to show how one desire for finery gratified becomes the cause of further luxuries. "The baffling array of silver at the twenty-course dinner and the costly box at the ojera are equally a part of woman's dress," Is one of his illustrations. And he asserts: "This situation is the despair of man. but it is 'siviety.'" After alleging that "the most romantic periods in history are those characterized by tight lacing and purixtsive fainting," Prof. Thomas continues; "The role of 'half-angel and half-bird is a pretty one, if you look at It In that way; but it denatures woman, makes her a thing Instead of a person. It leaves society short-handed, and the struggle for life harder and uglier than it would be if woman operated in it as the substantial and superior creature which nature made her. We have a machine-made civilization, which has Introduced class Inequalities, hatred and suffering unknown in savagery or barbarism. We are wealthy, but not humanized. Man is pursuing business on the same pitiless principles that he formerly pursued game." And his conclusion is: "But there Is no use trying to talk fashions down. The change will come gradually, as women become more intelligent and independent and of themseives .'experience the expulsive power of a new affection.' "

The DlnRnoala of Tuberculosis. To the casual observer it may seem ;t range that physicians often find it lillicult to determine whether a patient i oY not suffering from consumption, l'he cough, the emaciation, the hectic fever and the night sweats seem to be lulliciently characteristic of the disease io render its recognltMi easy, even to ihe non-medical person. And so, injood. it is ordinarily in these advanced stages, but it is very different at the beginning. Every one knows, that the arlier treatment Is begun, the more likely Is it to Ik? successful. It Is extremely important, therefore, to be aM? to detect the very beginnings of conmmption while yet the person Is apparently In almost perfect health and here lies the difficulty. If there Is no cough, no hectic flush, no undue perspiration at night, and if examination of the expectorated matters does not show the presence of the tubercle-bacilli, the only departure from health liolng perhaps a tendency to fever after exercise, some loss of flesh and a rather rapid pulse, the experi?nced physician may suspect a beginning of tulierculosls, but he would be rash to assert it as a fact. Within a year or so several new net hods of detecting the disease In Its Inclpiency have been devised, and one it least of them promises to be of great practical utility. These methods all consist In the use of tuberculin, but they differ in the mode of application jt this substance. It has been known for years that the Injection of tubor?ulln will be followed, if the subject is tuberculous, by symptoms of "reaction." that Is, by fever, headache, pains In the bones, and other signs of malaise. P.ut this method has never found favor nnong physicians generally, because of the liellef that It Is dangerous. It was very dangerous as formerly used ; large loses were Injected, and the reaction that followed was at times very severe, and in certain cases it was known to have rekindled the disease In persons in whom it had liecome quiescent, and who were practically cured. It was also feared by soma that the disease might be caused In one of weak resisting iowers by inoculation with the tinVrcul'n. These dangers do not, however, exist, now that the substance is used In very small doses, and In a form containing, as it does, only the glycerin extract of the tubercle-bacilli, and never the bacilli themselves. Nevertheless, other more simple methods have now been devised, and are used in preference to the injections of former days. These methods will be described In a future article. Youth's Companion. Arc You Afraid to Take Chaneeaf Many a man fails because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative. When do you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of mediocrity? The men who do original things are fearless. There Is a lot of dare la their make-up. a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to -houlder responsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the piality of courage was so absolutely ln.J.isiensable in the business world as It s to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man. if you lack courage you will never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It docs not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation. if you are a hesltator. If you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment, you will never get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there be cause they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others. Orison Swett Marden. In Success Magazine. Seeing mid Mvteulng.

We have all heard of how to tame a lion or tiger by steadily keeping the eye fixed on him. According to an expert animal trainer a more effective method Is a cigar or cigarette, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Nearly every wild beast that I have ever come across," said this ma,n, "is fond of tobacco in gome shupe or form I made this discovery quite accidentally. One of the visitors who was smoking a c'gar puffed some of the smoke into the lion's face as he lay asleep In the cage. "I expected to see a real riot, but instead of that the lion, after giving a couple of sneezes, moved quietly up to the bars and raised his nose sniilingly, as if asking for a second dose.

Civil War Stories 8 Touching Story of the War. There is employed in the lVnsion Office, Washington, a little woman, barely five feet tall, with gray hair and bright, deep-set eyes, full of human sympathy, w ho is a heroine in her way, having done valiant service in the war as a volunteer nurse from its very beginning until its close. Mrs. X. has had many and thrilling e:?ierienees, and now and then in her work at the Pension Ottice among the applicants for pensions she will run across one of her former patients, or someone whom she knew during the period of her hospital experiences, says the New York Tribune. In the early days of the war Mrs. X. was charged with the distribution of some hospital stores with headquarters at a small town in Virginia, which may be called Sampson. The house In which she was placed was owned by a South ern family, the .neu all in the Confederate service, only the women, mother and daughter, being left. These women locked themselves in the nonisNthey were permitted to retain and would have no intercourse with the Yankees, whom they hated none the less that their errand was a merciful one. Mrs. X. made advances to her unwilling hostesses, but was repulsed at every step. Finally, she found that these women had become so por that they were suffering for the very necessities of life and left outside their door each morning food for the day. At first it remained untouched, but after a day or two it was taken inside, and one morning the daughter meeting Mrs. X. on the stairs, thanked her in a proud way for her kindness, and said she would not have accepted It but that her mother was ill and needed the nourishment. After this the Yankee nurse and the Southern girl spoke when they met. but their acquaintance, despite the efforts of Mrs. X.. who felt that she might help and sustain these poor women, went no further. f A day or two before she left Sanqson Mrs. X. was anxious to make a bag to hold lint, bandages, emergency m-d-iciues. etc., that she could carry with her to the front. There was nothing among her stores available for this purpose, and nothing to he had in the village. Without considering the matter, she lioldly knocked at the enemy's door, and asked for a bit of cotton. Much to her surprise a cordial reception was accorded her, and. on making her want known, her neighlors searched their belongings to accommodate her, but nothing was found that could bo utilized. At last the girl took from her mother's linen chest a lieautlful towel, exquisitely embroidered, and with her own hnds made the bag which was to hold bandages and medlIclnes for her enemies. Then tlK'y said good-bye, never exiecting to meet again. In the Pension Office more than thirty years after Mrs. X., acting in the absence of her chief, received a call from a stately, gray-haired woman, who had a pension case (latins back to the Mexican war pending before the bureau. There was a pitiful story of want, deprivation, almost starvation, back of it. The case excited the Interest and sympathy of Mrs. X. and there was something In the appearance of the woman that apiealed to her strongly. She examined the papers carefully, pointed out some technicalities that had not been complied with, started them in the right direction, and before many days the tension was alowed. the papers signed am! the applicant in possession of a handsome sum of money. The grateful woman again called on Mrs. J., this time to thank her. "You owe me no thanks," said Mrs. X. "Don't you remember me? I was your guest in Sampson during the war. Have you forgotten the towel with your monogram on it? I still keep the bag ns a souvenir." "Yes, yes," said the woman, softened by years of suffering and sorrow, "and twice you have saved me from starvation." A Seeeah I.adjr and Her Sweetheart. We read pages of fiction and yield our sympathies to affecting Incidents which happen at any time, and the following romantic Incident of the war might furnish some writer with a heroine as fascinating as any ever written of. The following letter from a soldier tells the tale, lie says: "While coming home from a scout this forenoon we called at a house by the roadside and found a couple of la dies, quite young, and one as handsome as a Hebe. They were 'secesh to the back bone and each had a iovyer' in (he Rebel army; one of them was at Yorktown and only left the day before to pick his way back to tue York Elver, and carry such Iiiformation as he had gotten from us. The young lady showed us his photograph (a good looking lieutenant), and hoped we should meet him face t face and that he might leave us for dead. 'Oh !' said she. if all the Yankees were one man and 1 had a sword here, I should like to cut his throat.' And she said it with a vim, too. We laughed and told her we would take care of her good looking lieutenant, and would see to it that she should have an opportunity to hange her name after the war was over, hoping for an Invitation to the wedding, and as he had called me the 'divine' chaplain of the regiment. proposed to marry them alter we Lad taken Yorktown. 'Never,' said she; I hope he-will come home dead before you shall take Yorktown. I would wnde In blood to my knees to bury his body.' She spoke of poison in a glass of water we drank, but I replied that 'one look to her angel face, one smile from her lovely features would lie an antidote to the rankest poison.' Yes, and It ought to be to your hatred to the South, too.' Well, this little flirtation made her In favor of Union and us the more so, too, but, bidding her a merry good-bye and tell Ins; her to re member us and all that had been said, we went on our way. We had not golie far when we observed a company of soldiers, bringing with them a corpse upon a litter. We Inquired who it was and was told It was our lady friend's lieutenant lover. whom they were returning to his sweetheart. He had been shot while trying to escape from one of our sharpshooters, near a house upon the York River shore, where his father had re sided, and, as a negro Informed the soldiers, his mother and sister were at the house where we had been in conversation with the ladles, (one of whom was his sister and the other his sweet heart. Ills mother we did not see, but our Boldiers, upon receiving ordere

were; carrying him to be buried. Our feelings can better be imagined than

described. We did not mar the sor row of the relatives by stopping to witness the reception of the body." Mrs. I). B. Wirt's Scrap Book. She Was a I nlon Spy. Mrs. Pauline Fryer, well known In army circles as "Major" Pauline Cushman, the Union spy. now living in San Francis.'), has at last received a very imited re-ognit'on from the govern ment. After many years of privation and want she received a small pension for the services of her first husband. Charles C. Dickenson, who died early In the war. "Major" Cushman now expects to have to spend nearly all of the money she has thus received In an attempt to get an appropriation bill through Congress for tlie services which she herself, gave to the federal cause. She is still dependent and very poor. her small remuneration being almost absorlied by the claims necessarily Incurred to get the pension at all. Iii her pension she was obliged by poverty to waive the right of one child, as she could not wait for the time to- pass un til she could prove the child's rights. The story of the life and services of Major Pauline Cushman Is well known to Union soldiers. She was born at New Orleans in IS."!', married Charles C. Dickenson and was left a widowsoon after the war commenced, her husband dying in the Union army. She went upon the stage and at Louisville in 1W2 fell under suspicion of the fed eral authorities. It happened in the play of "The Seven Sisters," in which Pauline Cushman, in military uniform, drank a toast to the Union. Confe-d-erate officers In the city offered her $000 to drink to "Jeff Davis and the Southern Confederacy." Being brought before Gen. Boyle a few days later she told of the offer made to her to exonerate herself. (Jen. Bojie saw an opportunity to secure a clever and efficient female spy. He eloscl an agree ment with Pauline Cushman, and she then accepted the $000 Confederate offer. She drank the toast and was driv er, from the city as a southern sympathizer. At Nashville she repeated the toast performance and was "sent into the enemy's lines." Her own brother was in the Confederate army. To him she went and secured the desired information. U'hile returning to the federal forces she was detected and taken to Gen. Forrest's headquarters. She was Imprlsoi ed as a spy and was prostrat ed In jail with a fever She eventually returmnl to Ixmisville with much valua ble information, but her health was completely broken down. Gen. Garfield wrote to President Lin coln of her and Lincoln promised that she should le properly rewarded. He warmly indorsed her title of "major." The President said of her that "her servicers were of inestimable value tc the Union forces.'' Lincoln was assassinated and Major Cushman's liest friend was gone. She has !oen neglect ed and almost forgotten since. After the war Major Cushman came tc Cali fornia, and often delivered lectures In various cities here for the benefit of the charitable institutions. She has alAvays been much more generous to oth ers than to herself. Major Cushman, err now Mrs. Fryer, smiled cheerfully through the tale of her hardships, striving to conceal with pride her dependent condition and the low ebb of her finances. The lines of determination in her face teil of the moral courage that sent her through a , trying ordeal for her country, and they tell as plainly as she can herself that she will bravely contmue her fight for the reward she believes the United States owes her for her work in o!talning Information from the Confederates. Honor to the Flasr in the Navy. I am not so familiar with the customs of the army in regard to the flag, but in the navy I know that they are admirable, and decidedly worthy of emulation in civil life. You may ierhaps know that the flag of a ship does not fly during the night. It is taken in at sunset, and I think the simple little ceremony 'which attends the hauling down of the enslgu at sunset is one of the prettiest In existence. The first time I ever saw It I was sitting ou the quarter deck of the United States Steamer Yantic, conversing with three of her officers. We had been dining together, and were enjoying the cool evening breeze under the awning. I knew that it was nearly time for "evening colors." and I was anxious to see whether the ceremony in the navy was different from that abroad a first class yacht. I speedily learned that there was a difference. A few minutes liefore sundown a bugle-call sounded from the flag-ship, and the call was immediately repeated by the buglers of the other ships of the squadron. "What is that?" I asked. "That's 'Stand by the Colors." said one of the officers. Two sailors came aft, cast off the ensign halyards, and stood by with their eyes on the flagship. In a few moments we heard bugles sounding again ; for you must know that on board ship many of the commands are conveyed by a few musical notes upon the bugle. A marine came aft, and saluting, said: "Haul down, sir." "All right," said the officer of the deck. "Sound off." At that order the bugler of the Yantic blew the lovely -all. "Evening Colors." The moment he sounded the first note the officers arose from their chairs, faced the colors, took off their caps and stood silent, in resptn?tful attitudes, while the two seamen slowly hauled down the colors, bringing them in over the rail as the call came to an end. When the colors reached the i!eck and were gathered in by the seaman, and the last note of the bugle died away, the officers put on their caps, resumed their seats, and went on with their conversation. Removing the cap in honor of the colors is the common form of salute In the navy. When an officer comes up from below lit always lifts his cap In the direction of the quarter-deck; and all I toys should remember, when visiting a man-of-war, that the proper thiug to do when you go on board is to turn toward the stern of the ship, where the ensign always flies at the taffrall staff and raise the hat If the officer of the deck sees you he will return the salute; but whether anyone Is on the quarter-deck or not always raise your hat when jou go aboard. The salute is to the flag, not to any iverson. and surely every American boy ought to be proud to lift his hat to the flag of his country. St. Nicholas. Every man should be able to recognize his duty. He would then be in a better position to dodge it
