PATRIOT,
hat water seeks its lever is
equally true in a figurative sense
of human beings, and in the long
run men ana women are mighty apt
to round up where they belong, or
in that sphere that is most con
genial to their tastes and habits.
This has long been a theory to
which we have clung with some
persistency, and whenever we find
a positive and -flattering certifica
tion of our views, we cannot resist
the temptation of citing it.
For a long time we have watched
the career of Hon. Mrs. Mary El
len Lease with intense interest.
We saw her plume herself for flight
from the door of her humble home
in Kansas, and while we felt more
or lees sympathy for the sad-faced
man that timidly , kissed his, hand
to her, and iobbingly swore to be
diligent in the business of bringing
up Jhe "young 'uns," we counted
him but little as compared with the
absorbing question as to where the
truant bird would rest next.
Up on the strong rings' uf self
reliance she soared, and circled
above the Kansas capital in majes
tic and triumphant style. She
plucked'a few plums that the long
beards' planted, and" rising to a
higher altitude, winged her rapid
flight into new fields and to new
scenes of conquest.
She swooped down now and then:
upon the dove cotes where women's
rights or mothers' congresses held
peaceful possessions, and startled
the gentle broods well nigh to
death, but she never dropped a
feather.
Off in the distance from time to
time! we have heard her shrill cry,
and have felt that somewhere the
"birds of a feather" were liable to
flock at any minute, and now the
time has arrived.
A Ghost trust has been formed,
and the Amalgamated Society of
Sightseers, Mediums, Spiritualists,
and Mind Readers, has been inaug
urated with pomp and splendor.
The shrinkage in the prices of
privileged communications with
departed spirits was the humble
cause of this gorgeous grouping,
and the decadent mediums who had
launched forth "novelties" upon
the stirring sea of seance, were to
be rebuked and confined to the re
liable and lucrative old style of
materialization and manifestation.
"Upon this, pleasant perch there
was just a place for Mary Ellen,
and with unruffled plumage she has
joined the chatter of the jays that
have come home to roost in the
spreading branches of the spiritu
alistic combine. Mary Ellen is a
bird. She is at home, now. Rich
mond Times.
McEinley's Commissions, r
This has been, in truth, an
administration of commissions.
While the war has been largely ac
countable for the President's re
markable record in this direction,
he has, aside from this, gone far
beyond all previous records in the
appointment of special advisers.
He has appointed twenty-one sepa
rate commissions, with an aggre
gate membership of nearly one
hundred and an aggregate expense
of more than $2,000,000. I have
had some difficulty in getting the
exact expenditure in connection
with the commissions resulting di
rectly from the war, b.ut inquiry
among officials of the departments
has resulted in these conservative
estimates : V i

Total, $2,190,000. Herald. -
Reforms in the electoral system
of Japan fix the property qualifi
cation at a very small sum, and
the minimum age for candidates at
30 years. There is some discus
sion as to the methods of voting.
In one bill it is provided that each
voter may hand in a signed ballot
for each candidate. In Tokyo,
which would have sixteen repre
sentatives under the new system,
and would at the same time be one
electoral district, every franchise
holder would cast sixteen ballots.
There is no provision for minority
representations. t
Tariff and Trusts.
Under the McKinley tariff a high
protective tax was put upon tin
plate. As a consequence, the, price
of tin plate in America was greatly
increased. This tax was levied
not for the purpose. of raising revi
en'ue, but for the purpose, as al
leged, of building up the tin-plate
industry in the United States. It
was contended that this was an
"infant industry" unable to stand
alone without the aid of the gov
ernment, and that, therefore, the
people of the United States should
be made to pay double price for
their tin in order that the manu
facturers of tin might prosper. It
was alleged, also, that this tax was
levied not simply to protect the
manufacturers of tin, but those!
American laborers who were em
ployed in this industry. ' j
Now, for the sequel. A f tin
plate trust was formed, and some
time ago the laborers in that in
dustry who were "protected"
against "pauper labor" of Europe
complained that their wages were
too low and demanded an advance.
There was a bitter contest, but the
laborers won. The advance was
given, and almost immediately
thereafter the price of tin plate
was advanced by the American
Tin-Plate Company from $3.87 to
$4 37 per box of one hundred
pounds. A correspondent writing
from Pittsburg concerning this
says that the advance startled
nearly every person connected with
the tin-plate market, and that "it
is reported that the trust 'is getting
even for the enforced 15 per cent,
advance of wages to the workers."
It is contended, he adds, that
while the advance in wages was 15
per cent, the increase in labor cost
on each box of standard plate is
only a few cents, although the
price of tin plate is advanced 50
cents a box. In the ; past six
months the price of tin plate has
advanced more than 65 per cent, j
Russia's Financial Straits. . .
i A great deal of interest is aroused
in both political and " financial
circles by the appeal for assistance
now being made by Russia in the
London money-market. For many
years to come Russia will require
large financial resources to carry
out her vast plans for' railway de
velopment in China, Persia, and
Siberia. Unless London comes to
the help of M. de Witte, the Rus
sian Minister of Finance, the build
ing of these railways, which bulk
so largely in the scaremonger's
eyes, is liking to be postponed for
an indefinite period. It seems odd
that Russia should come to London
to borrow money for the advancer
ment of schemes which are openly
designed to thwart the political and
commercial interests of England
andthe United States in the far
east. It is unusual, to say the
least of it, to- invite prospective
victims to subscribe for the ex
penses of their own interment,
The only ground cn which the ap
plication is to be justified is the
cosmopolitan character of modern
finance, which knows neither coun
try nor patriotism. Every shilling
subscribed in England or America
for the building of Russia's strat
egic lines in Asia will be used
against them. The spirit in which
that portion of the Russian govern
ment which is hostile to Anglo
Saxon development administers the
affairs of the interior of the empire
and will administer the far east, is
shown in the arrest and exile of
thousands of students, and in the
closing of nearly all the principa
universities and colleges. in Russia
Harper's Weekly.
The Civil Service,
Whatever devotion Mr. McKin
ley may profess to the cause of
civil service it is evident that the
Republicans generally are inclined
to greet his recent action with ap-j
plau8e, and doubtless to urge his
further innovations in the matter
of suspending the rules and giving
offices to the rank, and file of their
party. c "
At the Republican convention at
.Lexington, Ky., the President was
commended by resolution for his
modification of the rules, but not a
word was said in favor of the gen-!
eral scheme of civil service.
It is surely a fact that the civil
service is not in the bands of its
friends just at this time, and the
indications are for a growing hos
tility from the ranks of the Re
publicans. An Epidemic of Diarrhoea.
Mr. A Sanders, writing from
Cocoanut Grove, Fla., says there
has been quite an epidemic of diar
rhoea there. He had a severe at
tack and was cured by four doses
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera;
and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says
he also recommended it to others
and they say it is the best medicine
they ever used. For sale by C. E.

There is at least onejnan in the
country who is in a position to
feel for General Eagan. Maher,
the jockey, who made such a bad
job at riding the favorite, Banas
tar, in the late-Suburban horse
race, has-been sentenced by his
employer, Mr. Clark, to draw pay
for two years ' without doing any
work. Mr. Clark has a contract
with Maher for two years, at $10,
000 a year. He does not release
him. He proposes to hold him to
his employment, pay him his sal
ary, and give him nothing to do.
Where General Eagan 'has the ad
vantage of Maher is in being able
to leave the country. Where Maher
gets the better of Eagan is in
drawing larger pay. It is remark
able that this unusual form of ret
ribution should obtain in two con
spicuous instances within the same
half-year. B. S. Martin, in Har
