A young 1 man, the son of an Eng lishman of rank, being in poor health, came to this coun- Uadi Manner# . try to rough it in in America. th<j wegt fop a year or two. At first, says Youth's Com panion, he made his headquarters with some American friends in ben ver, and one day came to them to announce that he had found work as driver of a team on a ranch. "That will never do!" exclaimed his isost. "You will be thrown with people of the lowest class, day and night. The life will be intolerable. "Ah!" cried the Englishman, laughing. "You for get. There are no classes in America. Every man knows that his neighbor is his equal, and so makes way foi him. That is the reason I came to the states." Two years later he visited his Denver friends again, to say good by. "I was mistaken," he said. "1 thought there were no social classes here, but there are a thousand, and ever} - man is fighting to get into the one next higher than his own. That is the reason I am going back to England. We do not jostle each other there." An American jurist, a man of great dignity and simplicity of manner, once recognized this condi tion of affairs in the reply which he made to his tailor, whose work was bad, and whose manner was offensive: "I hope that, should my grandson, ns may easily happen in this country, ever make a coat for your grandson, his work and his manners may be better than yours." This defect in American manners could be easily rec tified if each of us would remember that good breeding, in prince or coal heaver alike, consists in sincerity, in unconsciousness of self, and iu kind ness and tlioughtfulness of others. The man who thinks he is honoring American principles when he says, "All men are created free and equal, therefore my right is as good as my neighbors," should not forget that the rule works both ways, and that his- neighbor's right is therefore as good as his own. There is a remarkable healer in Mis souri who for the sum of one dollar pro fesses to cure poverty by "absent treat ment." At it given hour the healer con centrates his best thought on the pa tient, w ho has simply to keep his mind in a passive or receptive state and ab stain from lending money. A skeptical patient paid the dollar and tried the cure, but felt none of the promised ef fects. But hundreds of testimonials are given by the healer to vindicate his sys tem. One remarkable cure was that of a poor young man who says that the professor's treatment "changed the vi brations of my mind permanently. 1 shall never again be satisfied with a small weekly salary. Fame and for tune are my great desire now." The announced object of the Pan- American exposition at Buffalo, be ginning May 1, 1901, is to illustrate the progress made by the natives of the western hemisphere in the develop ment of the arts and sciences during the nineteenth century. South Amer ica, Central America, the West indies. Mexico and Canada, as well as the United States, will be allowed a full share of space. There are rumors, not yet confirmed, that commercial in terests in Europe are working against the participation of South Americans. The story is too discreditable to be accepted without proof. The cheering report is made that in the large cities of the United States the number of cases of blindness oc curring in young children is steadily diminishing. This is due partly to increasing knowledge on the part of the medical profession, partly to the advance of sanitation in home and school, and partly to increased and more humane knowledge among the people generally. In other words, it is a result of the advance of civiliza tion. A Sedalia (Mo.) literary society has decided in the affirmative the propo sition, "Resolved, That a man should be worth at least SSOO before being given a license to marry a Missouri girl." Other states would do well to take notice. There may be a hegira of moneyless- male matrimonial mar keters from pukedom to their fire fides first thing they know. CONTROL OF THE SENATE. Certain IndlrnllonN 'Flint It Will He kiinin uitli the Republicans Till The present United States senate is composed of 50 straight-out republic ans. five silver republicans, 20 demo crats and five populists, and there are four vacancies owing to the failure of the legislatures in four states to elect I'nited States senators. The total membership of the senate is DO, and until some new state is admitted into the union, a prospect now remote, in view of the fact that there remain practically only three territories, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona, in the southwestern group, 45 votes will be sufficient to control the operations of the senate, as of the five silver repub lican senators, three, Kyle, of South Dakota, and Stewart and .lones, of Ne vada. are in accord with the republic an party on all questions apart from the silver coinage. The terms of 30 senators, 17 republicans, 11 democrats, one silver republican and one populist, will expire coineidentally with the be ginning of the term of the next pres ident. and from present indications the silver republican will be succeeded by a straight-out republican in South Dakota, the populist will be succeeded by a straight-out democrat in North Carolina and the republicans will lose two senators in Colorado and Mon tana, and will gain one in Delaware, the effect of which would be. to make the next senate stand 50 republicans, 28 democrats, four populists and four silver republicans, irrespective of tli« vacancies in Pennsylvania, California, Delaware and Utah. Pennsylvania is a stanchly repub lican state; California is usually re publican; Delaware and Utah are doubtful, but with both of the latter democratic and all existing vacancies filled, the republicans would have a membership of 52 in the senate during the first two years of the next repub lican administration, as against 30 democrats, four populists and four sil ver republicans. On March 4. 1903, the terms of 30 senators will expire, 10 re publicans, eight democrats, three pop ulists and three silver republicans. In lowa. New Hampshire, North Dakota, Pennsylvania. Connecticut, Vermont, Oregon and Wisconsin the reelection of republicans is practically assured. In Georgia. Arkansas. Louisiana. South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Mis souri the reelection of democrats is most, probable, while two of the silver republicans. Kyle, of South Dakota, and Jones, of Nevada, or their suc cessors. are likely to be in the repub lican column now, and the democrats are likely to make gains in Maryland, Kentucky. North Carolina, and perhaps California. If the populists reelect their three members and silver repub licans retain Teller, their leader, in of fice. as seems probable, this would lie the division of the senate meeting on March 4. 1903: Republicans, 40; dem ocrats. 33; silver republicans. 4; pop ulists, 4. and New York, Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and Wisconsin un certain. All five of these states are important, and any forecast of their probable action in the election of sen ators three years lience would be af fected by too many contingencies to be of much present account. Without counting any of these states, however, the republicans would have 40 mem bers, a clear majority, until 1905, the year succeeding the next presidential election, so that republican control for the next five years in the senate is about as thoroughly secure as any thing may be in American politics.— N.

SILVER IS THEIR TRUST. Development* of (lie Anli-Trnm Con ference of (lie t'alaiu- Ityitea. If any doubt ex'cted as to the pur pose of those in control of the anti trust conference to convert it into a calamity bureau for the manufacture of Bryan campaign material that doubt was removed by the adoption of a voluminous set of free silver resolu tions which were telegraphed to Wash ington. These resolutions were a vehement protest against the gold standard cur rency bill now pending in the senate, which it declares is a conspiracy to "enthrone the money oligarchy, estab lish a continental bank trust, enslave the people and destroy the republic ta the end that, free government may per ish from the earth." The proposition to make all debts payable in honest dollars is characterized by the resolu tions as "the most audacious, danger ous and oppressive measure ever pre sented to a legislative body by a set. of conspirators." It is true that President Lockwood and one or two delegates protested against these resolutions as nr>t ger mane to the subject which the confer ence was called to discuss, but their re monstrance was of no avail against the evident determination of the del egates to put the conference on rec ord against sound money. The reso lutions were adopted with vociferous acckiitn; in fact, no speech or utterance during the conference elicited such an enthusiastic demonstration of approv al. The two or three persons who pro tested claimed that il was their under standing that the conference was to be nonpartisan and educational. Tt is difficult to conceive how they could gather such an idea from the pub lished circular giving the programme of speakers and objects of the confer ence. It was distinctly advertised as an anti-trust conference, and it has been thus far true to its name. An "anti" conference of this charac ter must necessarily be against every thing that it is. It is anti everything and concedes 110 good in anything. The remedies it, proposes for industrial ills are radical and revolutionary. It would destroy all proprietary rights and all individual initiative and en terprise. "Government ownership" of everything is the burden of its song. Several speakers even advocated the withdrawal of government protection from the products of inventive genius, declaring that "patent monopolies" should be destroyed. No sane person expects any rational remedies for economic or industrial ills from such a conference. —Chicago 1 imes-Herald. A Ills Difference. When William McKinlcy, president of the United States, was informed of the Kentucky calamity he expressed his deep regret at the incident, and beyond expressing his regrets he said nothing. When William J. Bryan was told of the shooting he proved himself once more the prince of demagogues by remarking that he hoped the re publicans would be given "a monopoly of violence." Jumping at conclusions is the unmistakable stamp of a little mind, and Mr. Bryan pleaded guilty promptly and frankly when this op portunity was presented him. There was at iirst nothing that would indi cate to the fair-minded man that there was anything in the case other than the mere fact that an excitable crank, filled with a mad desire to precipitate a more intense excitement than that which had been extant in Kentucky for some time, had taken the affair into his own hands and brought mat ters to a sudden and undesirable cli max. President McKinlcy showed his conservatism, which is but a technical name for wisdom, by expressing no opinion and pronouncing no one guilty without evidence. This is but another opportunity for American peo ple to compare the two men, their methods, their wisdom and their cali ber, and to form a judgment as to which man is the safer to trust with the guidance of a great nation through constantly recurring vicissi tudes. —Indianapolis Journal. Itryan I lie DemaKoene. True to his character as a demagogue, Bryan says that "the cowardly method employed to secure Goebel's death will convince the public of the desperate character of the fight made against him by the republicans." Though without the slightest information a> to whether Goebel was shot by a republican, a dem ocrat who voted against him, a friend of the unarmed confederate veteran whom Goebel shot dead in a, street fight, a bitter personal enemy, or some para noic such as lias figured in other assas sinations. Bryan jumps to a conclusion because he thinks he sees a chance for partisan advantage. He charges that republicans have disturbed the peace of Kentucky and are responsible for the deed of the assassin. Back of a surface plausibility there is boundless low cun ning in Bryan. No one is readier to plaj the demagogue for the smallest ad vantage. Pretending to be a friend of the people, he was the associate of Goebel, and there is not in this country an enemy of fair elections with whom lie is not a close intimate and party conspirator. Before the end of this reai the people will know Bryan as he is.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ! C"*The people are studying the trust j question.

MINING TROUBLES. r rii« Conduct of tlie I nllril Statei Fared In Idaho Lam Snnm r Ileiii| lnveMlc«l«d> Washington, Feb. 21.—The hearing of witnesses in the investigation of al leged improper action by tlie United States military authorities at Ward nrr, Idaho, began Tuesday before the house committee 011 military affairs The first witness, A. A. Eraser, u lawyer of Shoshone county, where the trouble occurred, testified that the civil courts were doing 1 business at the time when martial law is said to have been in operation. Representative I.entz, who conducted the inquiry, ex plained that this was a groundwork for judging- the need of martial law. Fred C. Robertson, a lawyer of Spo kane, told of visits to the scene of the riots, including' what he termed the "bull pen," and gave a detailed de scription of the mines where the trou ble occurred. He explained the friction growing out of the employment of non-union miners by the Hunker Hill mine, the gathering of 1,000 miners m April 29 and the destruction caused by the dynamiting: of the Hunker Ilill plant. Gov. Steuntberg proclaimed that a state of insurrection existed and several men were arrested and put in the "bull pen." Mr. Robertson ap plied for writs of habeas corpus lor the prrested men, but the courts held that, they would not interfere with the action of the governor, which, in ef fect, the witness said, was a suspen sion of the writ of habeas corpus. WashiHg+oll, Feb. 22. —The investi gation of the mining troll 111 (is aind the conduct of tlit- United States forces in Idaho last .summer continued Wed nesday before the house committee on military affairs.

He pro tented to the attorney general that the miners were being denied the right of counsel. The witness said Gen. Merriu.ni was in charge of the "bull pen." These were improvised quarters, as no prison wflK available, and consisted of old buildings and box cars surrounded by a wire fence. Mr. Holier*son express ed the opinion that the United Suites forces should have been used to pre serve order and uphold the civil au thorities. but. in fact, he declared, they superseded the civil authorities and in some instances, which were de tailed. arrested mean in no way con nected vvitih »,be outbreak.

National Committeeman W ill expressed the opinion last night that a majority of the committeemen now iu : the city are favorable to the Wiscon | sin city, while ex-Congressman Dock »ry was equally positive that the Mis souri city will secure the convention.

S. Healdenta. The following extracts from a letter written to -Mr. Benj. Davis, Canadian Government Agent at St. Paul, Minn., sjive an excellent idea of what is said uf Western Canada by those who have j gone there during the past, two or three ( years. "When we first arrived here and took j up our homes on the prairie near Dales boro, Assa., for a short time we had a (It of the 'blues,' but now all hands j are settled to business, hale, hearty I and contented, enjoying the finest win- | ter we have ever seen. We have got j very comfortably situated, with con- j siderable preparation for a crop, and all hopeful. I think this is a very fine country, and if the past season's crop is not an exception, which they claim ! not, I believe this is going to be the Wheat Field of the West. It is fill ing up fast. In this township last spring there were 25 quarter-sections of land vacant and to-day there is not one; I I can stand at my house and count 10 houses where there was not one last spring, with six more togo up this spring. This is only a sample of what is going on all round. We intend to build a church next summer, right close to my place, so we will be strict ly in line. It would have amused you ! to have been here last spring. There were crowds of land-seekers, and some times in the spring the prairie is not 1 very inviting, and of course lots were discontented. There was one in the ! crowd who jumped on me for putting , a letter in the paper, only for which he never would have come here, and he was very hostile, but eventually he got a place, and to-day claims be would not take a Thousand Dollars and move out, so T am glad he is satisfied. "Well, my dear Sir, as Arthur Finney is about to move out in March, with his family, and also one of my sons, any- j tliingyou can do for them to assist them along and to make things smooth as possible, will be greatly appreciated by me. I will close for this time, and will write from time to time to let you know we are living. Drop us a few lines to let us know how things are moving in St. Paul. Yours Respectfully, "AL.EX CAMERON." LITERARY REWARDS. WrcHtllnK Match Between 'Writer*, In Which the Truth l« Bad ly Strained. "Well, if a. man goes into literature he must expect his pay in something besides dollars and cents," remarked a Chicago novelist as he stroked his blond imperial. "Yes, that's so," saw! a second, a nig man who writes western stories and delights to have himself photographed in a picturesque felt hat and an overcoat with a cape to it. "Now, for mv 'Prairie Yarns' the best I could do was $5,000, and they haggled over that as if it had been an amateurish per formance." "They treat me the same way, said the little blond man, who has a trick of holding his head on one side. "Now for my 'Sky scraper'—magnificent piece of Chicago color, with Mrs. Seymour-Seymour in it.and the Snobs murder case, and all that. West side and North side and all that—what do you suppose 1 got for that? A beggarly $35,000, and I was silly enough to take it down and let the royalty go." They looked at each other narrowly. The man who writes "Prairie Yarns" said he must be going. As the elevator descended with hiin swiftly he muttered: "You never can tell one so big that that prig won't go you one better."

The girl learned to speak the English language in a remarkably short time, but many of the expressions did not appeal to her in the proper sense.

One day there came a ring and she hastened to the 'phone and put the receiver to her ear. "Hello," she cried. "Hello," came back over the 'phone, "who is this?" . .
