The law In Indiana punishes the man
who accepts an election bribe but does

In an Interview Monday Senator Mark
Hanna, when asked what measures he
would most interest himself in during toe
coming session of congress, said: I
have no Det measures this year and shall
take no particular interest in any of the
bills before congress. Perhaps I am as
much Interested in Senator ryes snip
subsidy bill as in any." There is no
doubt of his Interest in that big steal, in
which he will finger largely.

Argentina is one of the few countrle
where the credit system is preferred by
sellers to cash. The law there compels
every man to make to designated officials
periodical statements of his business and
if his debts are more than he can pay his
business is at once investigated and taken
Charge of. If he goes' into debt with the
view of beating anybody severe penalties
are imposed. The result of this is, very
few bankruptcies and little or no fraud.

The Observer publishes this morning
returns from 38 county chairmen In re-
.' ply (jo an inquiry sent to ail county chair
men last Week as to the 'effect of the re
cent senatorial primary in their respec-
. tive counties upon the Democratic party.
The replies are of the same general tenor;
that the U ffect was injurious. From
Borne counties they are that there is no
perceptible Influence. It is noticeable
that in several instances in which this Is
said tnbe the case, the chairmen add
that they want no more senatorial prl
mary. The Mecklenburg chairman says
that the constitutional method of choos
ing' senators Is (rood enough for , htm.
The Vance chairman says that the Popu
lists used to chtrgw the Democrats with
all the crimes of the decalogue, and that
t the primary gay Democrats the oppoN
tunitytomakethechargesgood. Nearly
all of the State papers spoke out on the
primary question last week and theprees
is found to be practically unanimous in
opposition to another. It is to be hoped
that all of the fun to be gotten out of the
' fad has. been extracted and that we have
seen the end of this - thing. We don't U-

A voune woman at a watering place
one summer made a reputation as a
profound linguist In a ratner oaa man
ner. She called one day at a Chinese
laundry where she had left a shirt
waist, but It could not be found, as
there was no entry In the book of biero-
elvulis corresponding to her pink slip.
After n half hour's search the China
man found the entry. A mistake had
been made, so the entry was crossed
out nfid a new set of hieroglyphs In
tiny characters placed below. She was
told that the waist would uc launaerea
Immediately, and she could get It the
next day.
The next dny the young woman call
ed for It, accompanied by three other
young women. At the seashore the ex
citement of a visit to the Chinese laun
dry is not to be despised. The China
man to whom the pink slip was pre
sented was not the laundryman of tho
day before, and he experienced tne
same difficulty In finding the identify
ing character, finally saying, "Not in
book."
The girl answered calmly, "I can find
It," and the Chinaman allowed her to
take the book. Turning the "leaves un
til she come to one that bad an entry
crossed out with another In tiny char
acters under It, she handed It to the
Chinaman. "There It is," and, to his
surprise, he found It.
"You only lady I know splk Chi
nese," he said, And the other girls
looked upon her with admiration.
