It has been customary to refer to the “deluded democracy.” It may be that it is only “diluted”—with populism, socialism and other isms. Lukban, the recently captured Fi'ipino leader, is a half-breed Chinese an 1 Filipino and is said to possess all the cruel inhumanity of both races By his action in signing the permanent census bill, after getting a legal opinion as to the rights of the civil service cause, President Roosevelt has refuted the arguments that he is no tactician. A three weeks old child in Kansas has begun to talk and all the words it says are, “Six years of famine in Kansas.” A number of families have started to leave the state, believing that the words were prophetic. If Turkey is compelled to give up the price of Miss Slone’s ransom, and that estimable lady gets the |35,000 that has been promised her for a series of magazine articles, her capture will prove to be a profitable adventure. Col. Bryan has repeated his former statement that he would not give bond that he will not run for Presidency again. It might be a good plan for the democrats to put him under bond to keep the peace in the party ranks. There are only a few gilded domes in this country. One of the first in the United States was erected on the State House at Bosten, and one of the most notable is that on the new Congressional Library at Washington. Chicago is soon to have the most unique and probably the most beautiful, on the new federal post-office building. In this case the dome will be made of glass with gold leaf on the inside, thus securing the effect of a great mirror with a golden backing. The surface will be smooth and glistening, the rains will wash it clean, and the gold will be protected from dirt and weather.
