iens Gathered in . From Far and Near

Consular Reform. From the Philadelphia Ledger. Tha changes which Secretary Knox

ia making in the consular service are In pursuance of a very important

work which has been going on continuously In the Department of State ev

er since the time of Mr. Bayard. Con

gress has at various times considered plans for the reorganization of this service, but without much sympathy. The actual reorganization which has

taken place Is more likely to be effective because it has been worked out gradually by experience, without too

many statutory restrictions. When the work has been completed It may wisely be given permanence by legislation.

This gradual development of the for

eign service of the United States from a mere incident of the "spoils system" to a recognized professional career, has been among the most important reforms' of recent years.

. 8laylng tha Forests. From the Springfield Republican. ' "Quebracho" is a 1 leather-tanning material extracted from the bark of chestnut trees. The mighty statesmanship of the United States Senate has devoted some time to the great public question whether the tariff duty on quebracho should be one-half or one-quarter of a cent pet pound. It appeared that the slaughter of American forests under the tariff on lumber has gone so far as largely to destroy the old source of tanning material, oak and hemlock bark. So now there is a turning to chestnut trees, which are being rapidly skinned and killed for this purpose along the southern Appalachian country. To keep up the duty on quebracho is to keep up this further slaughter of tanning material supply, but the Senate votes to keep It up. The lumber and palp and hide and leather duties all work to the same end) the extinction of such forests as remain. Great is th Senate's statesmanship!

Sanity on the Fourth. From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. The degree of sanity, or insanity, to prevail on the coming Fourth of July, ll a topic for the newspapers jus now. Unfortunately, there is nothing new to be said on the subject; but perhaps Horace Greeley's prescription for success in Journalism might be employed here to advantage. The great editor was asked wherein lay success In Journalism. "Repetition, repetition, repetition," was the reply. By repeating it over and . over again, the newspapers may hope eventually to impress upon the public the desirability of sanity in celebrating the Fourth. Indeed, such impression already has been made to some extent. The annual death list has been cut down since the preaching began. Progress in Birmingham. From the Birmingham News. The stand of the mayor that fruit stands ' and restaurants must , be screened is a step in the right direction. Let it be carried farther to include the protection of food products generally against the deadly fly in the interests of the public health and tha public welfare.

The Suburban Citizen. "I see you are cultivating a garden." "Yea," answered Mr. Crosslots. "I suppose you derive both pleasure add profit from it." "Not exactly. But It leaves me more contented. It makes the cost of vegetables in the market seem small by comparison" ,

Impressed. "So Baron Fucash has made another proposal for your daughter's hand?" ) "Yes, answered Mr. Cumrox. "What do you think of him,?" "Well, I dont know but what he'd !e valuable in the family.

THE STORY OF THE PALLADIUM Its Progress arid its Policy , DC . In the series which we have recently printed on the work and' aims of the Palladium, we have touched on many things very lightly which in themselves are worthy of expansion. Our principal theme has been that of cooperation and the part that this newspaper has played and will play along constructive lines In working for the best interests of the community.

We have shown how, in the space of three years, we have built up a run down newspaper. We have had much to contend with, but in that short space of time we have brought about a great change for the better in the newspaper field. We started with less than five hundred in circulation today the circulation is in excess of 5,400 gross and 5.200 net paid. And this is the largest circulation of any paper in the Sixth Congressional District That is a story in itself. .','' And as a result of this circulation we have made our paper more readable to the subscribers and more valuable to the advertisers we have benefited the community by making it a working unit and in enlarging it. Nor is this all by setting forth and working for our ideal of a real newspaper in the town we have forced our competitors to follow suit Therefore our influence has not only been direct, but indirect.

We have benefited the merchants by putting advertising on a modern plane and have given real service in this line, both in position, effectiveness and superior circulation. Today the Palladium carries more advertising than any other paper in this Congressional district We have brought the city and the country closer together for their mutual advantage and have encouraged all efforts which make for the betterment of the whole section of the country in which we operate. . . : More than this, the Palladium has been an agent in changing the temper of the town. We have encouraged the optimistic outlook in business which makes the town a solid working force for Its own interests. We have maintained that co-operation in business with its consequent attitude of construction is better than the old outlook. And already there have been results which have demonstrated that this is the most healthful plan for the community. '" 'r'. We have shown that we are ad.ive.iy Interested in constructing ratherthan tearing down. We have not wasted our energy in newspaper controversy. And when there has been hard feelings as in the period after the late mayoralty campaign we made no recriminations and were the first to adopt, a policy of conciliation for the good of the town. We have Insisted on a constructive view point as our policies in politics, in business and in the life of the town. In short we have avoided that easiest, but most fatal policy of nagging at the town. It is not than, we have not fought when circumstances demanded it nor that we are not vigilant in the welfare of the community. There are ways of accomplishing things which have nothing to do with the pessimistic outlook and vitriolic processes.

I . ' Tariff Debate. Era kmg the sultry summer glow

' -As we said in beginning, it has not been the purpose of these editorials In recounting the history of the Palladium, nor in clearly outlining its policy, to indulge in self-glory. We are as aware of our own limitations as our most severe cities. But we only want the readers of the Palladium to understand what we have done and why we have done these things, so that they may understand the future work of the paper and- help us in the work which we hope to do for Richmond and the country around it, by allowing us to work with them. The processes by which we have accomplished things has not always been in the editorial columns nor even confined to the paper. Yet they are none the less a part of the paper's influence. We are not so conceited as to believe that we will be able to bring about what we desire for the good of the town in a few days, nor in the space of a few years. We are, however, convinced that the results of ths past point to a more' encouraging outlook on the future. '

We shall endeavor in the future as in the past to . make the paper one for those who hope not those who are bent on seeing the worst side of life. We want to work with those who will build up. and to help them. We want to work with those who are not bound up in a selfish scheme of existence in which the fellow man plays no part. This being our aim our policy and the Teason for our own advancementwe have therefore tried to make it plain to our readers the true keynote of our work.

Will come to every spot. Although the start was somewhat slow, The finish will be hot.

Recognition. "What do your constituents think of your long speech?" "They approve of it," answered Senator Sorghum. "It shows 'em that if our interests can't have the pecuniary advantage they claim, we're at least getting our share of the time."

Speed. ' '"Is your new motor car developing any speed?" "I should say so," answered Mr. Chuggins. "It can make a thousand dollars go so fast you hardly have time to notice it"

Measurements. My Uncle Jim is gettln' stout; His visage kind o' pales, An' is o'ershadowed by a doubt When he steps on the scales. He's walked out in the open air An waved the dumb-bells 'round, And yet he has some heft to spare That causes woe profound. But we have found an argument ' To set his grief aside. His friends, so far from discontent. All lt'lnt to him with pride. For when the trusts take profits great From packages too slim We hail the generous overweight We find in Uncle Jim!

their loyal, their noble, their heroic defense of the federation of the

States of the Union can never be cancelled.

The survivors whose ranks are growing thin with pathetic rapidity.

need have no fear that time will bring

oblivion. The younger generation,

pledge you, and the generations yet

to come, will ever keep Memorial Sun

day and Decoration Day because they

commemorate the birth of a New Na

tion as well as the heroism of the men who died that it might be born. The

nation has taken up the grateful task and the beautiful ceremonies of Decoration Day have become ; an institu

tion of the country. Its citizens put

flowers on graves of men of whom

they never heard, and on graves that

bear no names at all. Such an ex

pression of patriotic love is better than a granite monument 1 at every tomb; better than magnificent shafts

to the soldier dead. The flowers perish and must be replaced but once a

year the people assemble to replace

them. Patriotism cannot die while such a ceremony continues. .-Despoliation of Day, ; "I deprecate a tendency which tends to make Decoration Day a day of general mirth and jollity; of baseball games and : bicycle races; of picnics and pleasure excursions. Rather let all the people, rich and poor, young and old. go to the memorial exercises and keep the day sacred to the living and the dead." . r , . , . Dead Speak to Us. The text of the' sermon is found in Het. 11,4 "Dead, yet speaketh.7 In the discussion of the text Rev. Wade used these words: , "Yes, bur ' dead speak to us, and often speak with stronger voice in death than in life. Some we only estimate aright ' when they have passed from mortal scenes. Yonder hay -field that soon shall roll like sea waves ia beautiful but practically scentless - when we pass It uncut; but hear the measured swish of, the scythe or tha song of the mower, let death lay each green head low. and behold odour rises like mist. ' Some planta do not : reach the highest period of fragrance until life

'-has ebbed beautiful emblem of thoee

who delight us while they live, out of the serene . abundance of their

kindly hearts, but whose richer value we only begin to know when they are gone away, and of whose white souls we then say inwardly. "(S) He. being dead, yet speaketh." Of Samson it

was said. "So the dead which he slew

at his death were more than they

which he slew in his life." The tree the cedar is most useful when dead.

Every Christian is useful in life but

may speak with even stronger exam

ple in death. Joseph, while he lived

saved much people alive, but as an example of untarnished excellence amidst terrible temptations. Joseph

dead has spoken to more people than

Joseph living. David the sweet singer of Israel, while he lived quieted the

king, taught many the beauty of the

harp but David being dead yef singeth and multitudes have caught his thankful, adoring spirit. Paul in his

living day preached many a sermon.

and made many a convert to the faith

of Jesus. "But Paul being dead yet preacbeth, and they were sermons from his sepulchre which converted Luther and Wesley and most of the modern evangelists. And Luther is dead, but the reformation moves on; and Wesley is lead, but a mighty Methodism with ever increasing power reaches , forward to the certain conquest of the world for our Christ and Lord. Bunyan is dead but his bright spirit still walks the earth in its'? Pilgrim's Progress. Eliot is dead, but the missionary enterprise is . young; Howard is dead, but modern philanthropy is only commencing its career; Raibes is dead, but the Sabbath school - is a growing institution; Wilberforce is dead, but. the negro will find for ages

a protection in his memory; Lincoln is

dead, but the Republic has had a new

birth of freedom and we fondly be

lieve shall never neriah from the

earth.

"Thus speak the dead, how frequent

ly with stronger voice and greater

power and wider acceptance dead

are living. And thus from their

graves, your comrades, being dead.

speak to us today. They speak to us through the history of their deeds and daring. They speak to us through the loving memories which the living have cherished for their patriotism."

Good Morals a Defense. "The Sabbath must be preserved,

the day of rest to toiling man. The church must be uplifted and the home ennobled while the Bible shall be ever

held the lamp and guide of life. To

this deeper, truer patriotism we are all called. We need men to defend and illustrate the principle that hon

est, sober industry is the best road to

indi-idual fortune and national pros

perity; that in national affairs as well as in the lives of individuals, purity is power, and good morals are a national defense; to advocate true ideas of liberty and to spread intelligence and piety. All should play an important

part in the great patriotism of peace. "A nation's history is not made

alone on the battlefield, nor are pa

triots found alone in the din of conflict. Let every citizen be a patriot

and let the principles of the honored dead speak through our lives, lives of integrity and of peace.

. Day's New Features. "Memorial Sunday -in recent years presents new features. New. and younger faces appear. As have men left home and fireside in '61 and went

out to battle perhaps to return no

more, so in '98 husbands b?.de wives a fond, perhaps a last "good bye," parents gave to humanity's cause the flower of their homes, schools and colleges relinquished claims upon thous

ands of young men who were looking out upon a future bright with professional honors, in order that again the heavens might bow and proclaim "a land without a serf, without a servant, without a slave." "Today as well the old antipithies are gone, gone the bitterness and hate. Instead all North and South are brethren once more and by the grace of God ever will be alike an decorated the graves of friend and foe. "Comrades I am glad you are here. You have helped all our hearts. Only a little time until all shall be mustered out of service here. May it be to be mustered into the larger service yonder and that the Grand Army of the Republic shall . indeed have become the Grand Army of the Redeemed.-.. . Need of Government. "The God-given principles of equity and honor triumphed in the Civil war and thus the dead ' yet speak. They call us to lives of devotion and patriotism. -They summon present day patriots to take up the duties of the present hour. : The Union saved from the perils of civil strife still presents a field for heroic endeavor.' There is danger that in this pushing, prosperous time, when we are almost constantly and completely engrossed in domestic business , and cares, that these great duties may be neglected.

But there is nothing that can absolve the citizen from the duty of constant vigilance. Good laws will not avail unless the administration is in good hands. A good government can not stand if it forget righteousness and turn ; to sin. The giant evil of our times, the liquor traffic, that monster so frequently described as destroying moremen than war, famine and pestilence combined, must-be overthrown. Greed and avarice must be dethroned."".v: ' . .

New York, May 31. AH fly-by-nights who were belated guests of Zigman Eischman's eating bouse on Seventh avenue, just above 34th street, were thrilled by a holdup in Dick Dead Eye style early in the morning when the attention of the policeman on the beat had been diverted by another little game. There were twenty-five or thirty persons in the restaurant, when four men came in and covered them

with revolvers. f For some reason, which was not apparent, the desperadoes devoted their operations wholly to two victims, and then backed out

with guns still bent on the crowd.

No attempt was made to follow the robbers. One of the victims declared that two of the bad men were George Brown, one of the Chick Tucker outlaws, and Dago Frankie, who has just been discharged from Bellevue hospital, cured of a bullet wound in the shoulder, which he received in a 14th street fracas outside of Jim Kelly's famous poison parlor. However that may be Patrolman Clauzon of the West 37th street station said he missed .the fun at Etschman's through lending ear to the troubles of a man who complained that Flossie somebody was sitting up on a roof with his money and would't come down. Holdups Watch Their Chance. Clauzen couldn't refuse to look into this matter. The opportunity was Judiciously improved upon by four of the cafe operators. No sooner was the policeman lost to view than they rushed into Elschman's restaurant Draw

ing pistols, one of them stationed himself at the door, another covered the cashier and the other two selected two patrons at the very back of the place

and held a brief colloquy with them. The two patrons, as they later informed the police, were Henry Stein and a friend of his who would give only his first name, Hyman. They went into the place about 4 o'clock and ordered ham and eggs. Even before they were served the bold, bad desperadoes entered. "If there's any row," said the one who selected Stein for a victim, "We'll shoot. Then he asked Stein for a dollar.' .'' ; "Why 6hould I give you a dollar 7 asked Stein, surveying hlm. "That doesnt make any difference,'' answered the agreeable stranger, adding, pleasantly, "shut up or I'll blow your "head off." Hit Him With a Hammer. So saying, he struck Stein on the head with a carpenter's hammer, then pressed the muzzle of. the revolver against his stomach and abstracted $ 15 from an inside pocket. 7 ' Meanwhile the other advance agent of impoverishment, wasn't idle. This man secured 923 from Hyman. This accomplished, one of the pair sung out: "We're all clear now,' and they retreated In good order, facing the crowd and keeping everybody safely covered. Their extra man at the cashier's desk fen In. snd they backed out of the doorway with agent No. 4. Soon the police set out to look: for the quartet. But to be on the safe side Patrolman Clausen got two prisoners, anyway. He arrested TkMBfe"

and took her to the police atatioa. where Lieut. Bailey held her aa a suspicious person and also detained the complainant on the charge of Intoxi

cation to insure his appearance against

her in court. This man said he was

George Hughes.

The tale Hughes told the policeman was that he bad been "cold-Angered" to the extent of $4. He said the girl was standing in a doorway and beck

oned to him as he passed. He went to

see what she wanted, and after some conversation discovered that her fingers were chilly, or so it seemed, for she put her hands In his pockets. When he remonstrated, he said, and asked for his money back, she ran

through to the rear and into another

house, where she took refuge on the roof. "Flossie" Took to the Roofs.

It took all Policeman- Clausen's arts

of persuasion to coax Flossie down. At the station house she told Lieut. Bailey that she was Florence Smith and lived on West lOrtth street. She denied that she had Hughes's money, and al

though he admitted that she had re

turned it he refused to withdraw the

complaint. -

All this information was elcited not

very readily from Hughes, for, as the

police said, he was stone deaf. In

reply to the question where he lived, he stated his sge and said he was a chauffeur, and when asked how old

he was declared "221 West 38th."

The Interview was carried on by means of bellowing and all sorts of signs and pantomime. The lieutenant expressed himself as surprised that so desf a man should be a chauffeur.
