As n rule politics innkes more Btrnnjro iM'ilfcllowH (linn It can possibly provide tlwjiInK iiccotiiiiimlntloiiH for. Wlmt's tlic? use worrying over tlio sit tuition at Cnpe Nome? The people who uro there went lioeuime they wanted to. The ToliriHoiiH have downed the Kinltlts In UIiIciiko. In the city directory the former have a clear preponderance over the latter of 1.1KM). New Jersey has n 0 year-old girl 'ur j;liir. If It could only send children of this hind home early the utility of a curfew would pass unquestioned. It Is alleged that the Prince of Wales has referred to Wllllani Waldorf Astor ns"that cad." The latter now has a chance to lick (he hand that vinote. The Krench writer who htm discov ered that American and French women ns Inventors lead the world will have to admit that men are better when It comes to the Invention of excuses. Klianghal, (.'lilim, Is estimated to have HI?0,XX) Inhabitants, of whom :I7,IM)( lire liars and nearly J.IKKJ are deaf mutes. This Is why the reports from Khaughal are received with caution. LI Hung Chang says China was a re public live thousand years ngo, the Mime as the I'ulted States Is now. Ho, urter all, It seems that there was a time when men were concerned about the Chlucpc vote. Not a drunken man was seen In the Htrects of Havana on the recent elec tion day, and not a single light was re corded. The self-control Implied In the Mntcmcnt Is at least a suggestion of a liialllleatlon for political seir-govern-meiit. A very good-loklng young woman In a Western city was sent to a cell, the charge against her being "kissed a man willfully and without his con M'lit having llrt been obtained." We but voice the sentiment of the entire nc when we say that we men must be protected If it requires the presence of the entire Mantling army of the United Kta ten. Our athletes hae demonstrated so conclusively their superiority over all foreigners that the sinprlse of Hiiro peau experts mutt have been as keen as when the American navy showed what It could do at .Manila and Sautl ngo. The American Is coming to thu front In these days In many Hues of ac tivity, and Kuropo doesn't appear to like the appearance of Its lusty West ern rival. There are those who work harder In the vacation season for what they call pleasure than they do for profit and ad vancement In the months of the active commercial year. What all elvllle'd humanity needs Is a "let up" now and then, a period of mental and physical rela.Mitlou, and that mail does the best by himself and by the community who puts hot weather to the uses for which it Is Intended In the great economy of nature. The ruling of the comptroller of tbe treasury department at Washington that "tips" to porters of sleeping ears mo legitimate expenses ami may prop erly be charged up by government em ployes agaliiNt the government may have far-reaching consequences. Al most lullnlte pONMbllltles In the Hue of expenses, "coiMruclUe" and other wise, loom up as a result of this treas ury ruling. The expense accounts of persons In government xervlce may yet yield rich resources for many a cam paign fund, while giving the "tip" principle olllcial Mains and recogni tion. When prosperity mid philanthropy go liaml In hand, the progress of a coun try Is beyond iiuestiou, Cerimiuy Is mlMiiicIng In a buMuchs way. Her trade operations show Increasing ca pacity lor planning and fuller scope In performance. Hut with the develop ment In material things Is noted mi In crease In gifts for the beuellt of schools, libraries, charitable Institutions and other objects. The provision of cor porations ami private manufacturers In aid of employes Is a further token of a keener scum) of responsibility for the ptoper use of wealth. The world iilioiiniU with articles marked, "Made ln(!erinauy." I.el not the world forget the good deeds which may be labeled "Done In (icruiany." It Is to be hoped that the fact that (io. ItooM'vcIt has an aversion tor led books will not lead to a general banish ing of lurbliiesK I'ro m libraries, lied Is a color that, for decorative purposes, has lately come Into great favor, ami the red room Is quite as popular as the blue room or green room. And people who own red looms like to preserve the haimony b, having a few red books ly. lug around and, of couoe, the contents of iIicm' may be of the most sober hues. Vet. JiiM as there are some colois that hint mine people, so there are covers which t-ccui appropriate for certain authors tine would not care to have llinmon done In roil and gold or Mat thew Arnold appearing In yellow, r-'peucer's philosophy presented In pink would seem uulittlugly relied and Walt Whitman In white would be equally out of place, On (he other hand. It seoius titling that the poems of that uuiillku tigtire, Kinlly Dickenson, should always be clothed hi gray, and that ouo who loved" greenness, ns did Tliorcnu, should have that color about his books. This law of the eternal Illness of things Is one that Is carefully observed by the artful bookbinder. The labor question In Its practical phases was never before so carefully thought over as at present, both by employers and employes and also by political economists, who In recent years hnve dropped their straw-stuffed man for the real one, and In doing so have given a nuw leasu of life to tho "dlsinul Hctence." In the practical sphere one of the best Illustrations of the changed conditions brought about by what some writers on economics call the "moralized labor contract" Is to be found In what the Germans call "wel fine Institutions," such as those now found In connection with the great Krupp steel works and a few other es tablishments. These "welfare Institu tions" embrace pension funds, model houses, restaurants, hospitals, schools, savings banks, etc., by which the good of the employes Is conserved by a sot ting In operation for them of Intelli gent effort on the part of their em ployers. This, of course, largely de pends upon the philanthropic character of the chief employers ns well ns upon a deeper sense of moral obligations as lo the labor contract than those which usually prevail. Such Institutions seem to have more of hope In them for tine' solution of the labor question than prollt-sharlug, which, notwithstanding some conspicuous successes In Knglaud, such as that of the Itourne cotton mills, In Tiverton, under Mr. Chase's man agement, and n few Instances In thli country, does not seem on the whole to have proved a success. It Is generally supposed that despera does men tit war with society, and with whom society Is at war make the best soldiers; but this Is an error. Ac cording to the testimony of all experi enced olllcers, men of bad character, however brave, physically, are a cursi to any army. Such men are generally the prime movers of Insubordination ami mutiny, and If there Is any treason nt work, are pretty sure to be ut the bottom of It. Moral courage Is as es sential In military as In civil life, and It Is not an attribute of the depraved ami vicious. He who goes Into battle with it clear conscience, coiilldent In the Justice of the cause for which he risks his life, and believing that God Is on his side, Is the only true hero. He Is not bloodthirsty, he Is not under the' domination of a sanguinary and brutal Instinct, but he Is enthusiastic where ardor Is required, calm and collected In emergencies, and can bear up cheer fully against reverses, hardships and privations, under which the desperado would "wilt down," or desert. What but morn I courage, born of Integrity of purpose and coulldeiice In Heaven, sus tained the nigged, half-starved,-Ill-paid soldiers of a bankrupt republic, In their desperate Htrugglo with the well-appointed legions of the enemy, during the darkest hours of the American Inv olution? Tho Ice-obstructed Delaware had not been crossed, the battles of Trenton and Princeton had never been fought mid won, the horrors of the win ter bivouac nt Valley Forge had never been endured, thu Inestimable blessing of our national Independence had never been attained, but for the moral cour age mid fortitude of good and true men, at peace with God and their own con sciences. Howdles and desperadoes never achieve such exploits, or submit patiently to such hardships, as have made the heroes of '7(1 Immortal In his tory. It may be set down as an axiom that bad men never make good soldiers. Having llhuseir. Speaking of green reporters, Col. D. '. Dodge, vice president of the Ulo Grande Western, upon the occasion of his Inst visit here told u story nt the expense of the fraternity that will bear repeating. "Some time ngo, after nn absence from Denver," he said, "I was approached by n young man whom I had not seen before, to my recollection. 'How are you, colonel Y hesnld, by way of Introduction, 'I have beeu sent down to Interview you.' " 'Yes,' 1 niiswerwl, 'what do you want to kuowV" " 'Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know myself,' answere! the re-porter. "'Well, that Is strange,' I said. 'The Post man has been down here, mid he knew what to ask me, and I answered him.' '"Well, tell me Just what you told him, and we will call It square,' said the young fellow, In a burst of eonll deuce." Salt l.ako Herald. A Lonely Neighborhood, The most lonely highlands of our na tional territory are the sparsely wooded sierras of Western New Mexico. Tho chink of the woodcutters' nx echoes through thu steepest glens of the Kuro peau Alps and southern Alleghaules, but In the Sierra Mesllhi, west of 101 Paso, there are valleys where the moan of the wind In the branches of the rock dues Is the only sound heard for days together. A kind of marmot Is the only Inhabitant of these solitudes and rare ly leaves ltr burrows before noon. Itlrda are extremely rare, though a silent vul ture now and then tloats across the sky on Its way to the cave labyrinth of the Gila. Ulver.
