A KANSAS editor named Erasmus Ebtitie/.er Kphraim Mc.Jimsey is now in Washington looking after a job at the hands of the new administration. If a munfwith a name like that can't get a job, what chance is there for the rest of the faithful'!
A MAN, a real mean old thing, has objected to the admission of a woman to the bar at Anderson, this state. He says that the reason he objects is that the constitution provides that only voters can be admitted to the practice of the profession in this state. The trouble is very likely that he fears that a bright energetic womau will take some of his clients away from him. And she deserves to. too.
TIIIC literary circles of Indianapolis have been rent.asunder. The governor's application for admission to the Indianapolis literary club was blackballed one day recently, and now the Century literary club has acted favorably on his petition to become a member. About the only remedy that is left open to the governor in such a case made and provided, is to turn his military staff loose on the literary "fellers" from the capital city.
THK president sent a message to congress this week asking that an appropriation 1m made for the benefit of American citizens living in Cuba who are suffering as a result of the war that has been in progress there for the past two years. It resulted in lie passage of a bill appropriating $50,000 fort he purposes recommended by tlie president and a discussion in the senate of a bill by Seuotor Morgan recognizing tin Insurgents as belligerents. The chief feature of the whole business is that a president sent, a message to congress, consisting of from two hundred and fifty to three hundred words, iu which he used the personal pronoun but twice. For four years j»ast the United States has not had a president who could write a message of that length without using "I" a bakers' dozen of times.
WIIKN Jules Verno wrote his wonderful story, "Twenty Thousand leagues under the Sea," it was looked upon as the height of improbabilities. This week a torpedo bout was launched at Elizabeth, N. J., under the auspices of the United States government that proves that Jules Verne was only a few years ahead of the times when he prepared the plans for his wonderful boat that could dart under the waves of the ocean, rise at will of its master, and do other seemingly improbable things. The boat is known as the Hollaud submarine boat, and its construction and launching has attracted the attention of naval expert* the world over. A number of naval power* have attempted to secure the exclusive control of the patents governing the new machine, but as the home government has superintended the construction of this wonderful vessel, it is likely that it will have control of Its manufacture and use. The craft is fifty feet three inches long with a four-foot screwprotecting extension. Its diameter is ten feet three inches amidships, and the moulded diameter ten feet three inches. It can travel under water eight knots for
wight hours, and ten knots on the surface. The power comes from a ga«oline engine aad a dynamo, the latter to be used when auynHM-god and the former when the boat Is sailing along on the surface. It will tak« barely one minute to submerge the boat, and not much longer to raise it

which, with 100-pound charge of ex- *nc raannaiion.
plosive, can burl a 400-pound projectile one hundred yards or more through the water. Five of these projectiles will be carried. The craft will be worked by six men. With such a vessel as this operating in home waters against the strongest navy in the world, the chances would be so much in favor of the submarine vessel, that the strength of the opponents would be practically rendered worthless.
THE bill introduced in the senate by Senator Morgan, recognizing the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents was adopted on Thursday by the decisive vote of 41 to 14. Those who voted for the bill were Democrats, Republicans and Populists, while of the fourteen voted cast against the measure twelve were Republicans and two Democrats. The twelve Republicans included such well known administration men as Senator Hanna and Senator Fairbanks. The resolution will go to the House on Monday, and there its fate is uncertain, although it is likely that it will meet with favorable consideration Just what resuit the bill will have in I affecting the relations between this country and Spain it is hard to tell. Spain resents with all the mulishness of her character any effort to intervene in the affairs of Cuba, and it is possible that the action of the senate may create such feeling in Spain as to cause serious trouble with that effect power. Whether or not it does, it is certain that the senate action reflected the sentiment and feelings of a great majority of the American people regarding the Cuban situation. Mugwumps and others of that ilk will find fault with the senate's action, and call it "jingoism," but it is so seldom that the senate does anything in touch with the masses of the people that it deserves to be commended for this action.
OVER in Illinois they are going through the police commissioner business that has troubled the city of Terre Haute for over six years past, the control of city police forces by commissioners appointed by an outsider who knows nothing about police matters except as he is informed by prejudiced persons on .both sides. The recent election in Chicago put a Democrat in the office of mayor, and gave him the right to appoint and remove officials under a civil service system that was created for the purpose of putting Republicans in power and keeping them there. Now the suspended members of the old force have gone to the Illinois legislature, which, like the brook, seems destined to go on forever, and petitioned the passage of a bill putting the appointment of the police force in the hands of a board of commissioners to be selected by the governor, who happens to be a Republican. Of course the bill is a scheme to retain control of the police force, just as the original bill for this city was enacted to provide a method for gain ing control of the force, and give it to a set of men who were at outs with the administration of city affairs by the majority of the members of that body. It made the police force a foreign-governed body of men, just as the Illinois law contem plates making the police force of Chicago a body of men to be governed at Springfield. The people of Chicago will pay the bills, and smile and look as pleasant as they can under the circumstauces.
TIIR footprints in the sands of time made by the sons of great men are few and far between. The truth of this was never better illustrated than in the controversy now going oil between the son of John A. Logan and the latter's wife, on one side, and General McCook on the other, over the behavior of the representatives of the United States at the coronation of the Czar at Moscow last year. It seems that young Mr. Logan, who has nothing especial in his favor except that he is the son of John A. Logan, and has a mother who is far and away the most illustrious survivor of the Logan family, wanted at the hands of the president the appointment of minister to Austria. He had a strong pull for the place, and the endorsement of many prominent politicians who were for him on account of his father, when the story was started that ha made a spectacle of himself on account of his behavior at the coronation exercises, by wearing a uniform and decorations to which he was not entitled. He claims that the stories circulated about him were untrue, and that they were originated by Gen. McCook, who was here as the official representative of the president, and now he demauds satisfaction in tones that are dire, and letters that take up columns in the metropolitan papers. He holds Gen. McCook responsible, and if the latter does not retract proposes to take measures to get satisfaction About the most conclusive thing that appears from the correspondence that has been made public is that the representatives of the United States made full and complete asses of themselves at the coronation exercises, and that the Ijngan-McCook controversy is but a side issue in the matter.
Caution.
Housewives are cautioned against the increasing number of substitutes for cream of tartar in baking powders. Cream of tartar comes from grapes (only a few pounds being obtained from hundreds of pounds of grapes), and has to be purified by an elaborate process. It is therefore very expensive. But it is the best ingredient known for use in baking powders, and as it is a fruit product, it is especially wholesome.
Of the substitutes for cream of tartar, alum is a mineral and astringent. Phosphates come largely from the action of chemicals on bones of animals.
Cream of tartar is absolutely clean and wholesome, and if housekeepers only
