Yes, we are '-progressing" back to the rank of Toryism of George Gren ville and Lord Xorth. When Henry M. Teller, the venerable senator from Colorado, once secretary of the interior under a Republican pres ident, suggested that by progressing much further on the AVheaton plan it would scon come to pass that a senator would be afraid to read the Deelara- of Independence in the senate chamber, Senator Lodge of Massachu setts denounced the statement as "sil ly." True, when Senator Lodge? cooled off he apologized for using the word, but he could not rub cut the fact that he used it! O temporal O mores! Plantation manners from Massachu setts! Nobody denied. Carmack's statement made in open senate. Nobody defend ed "the high officer of the United States" for uttering words which would disgrace any citizen of the republic, and no Republican senator wagged his tongue in condemnation of him. Yes, we are "progressing" rapidly. If any high officer of the United States did say, as Carmack avers, that the Declaration of Independence is 'a d d incendiary document," he ought to be stripped of his uniform, broken' of his commission and banished for life to the Dry Toriugas. Such punishment ought to be meted out to him as to cause all incipient traitors to keep de cent tongues in their heads. Rushing Things.

Executor, ! of the last will of Nancy J. Allen Subscribe toe The Tribune. had an idea that the Rood rules were drastic enough for all purposes. Not so, however. When '-Uncle Joe" Can non, chairman of the appropriations committee, wanted to put through a grab of $r00,000 to build-new barracks at Manila in the urgency deficiency appropriation bill, and when Mr. Hull, ! the Republican chairman of the com- ; mittee on military affairs, raised the point of order that it was new legisla- ' tion and therefore could not be had on an appropriation bill,' "Uncle Joe" beat the devil around the stump and indue- j ed the presiding officer and the Itepub- lican majority to override the rule ' which they themselves had established to protect the treasury from just such raids. j "Forever ana a uay." i The other day when I prodded "Un-1 cle Joe" Cannon in debate he "let the eat out of the bag" by vociferating, I "We intend to hold the Philippines , forever and a day! wmch I then and there declared to be "the most melan choly declaration ever made in the house of representatives,'.' and it is. It means, if his idea is carried out, ceaseless sorrow and unending expense to the American people. I also charac- j teri-ed his proposition as "the mcst i idiotic scheme ever hatched in the brain of man, and it is, for there is no conceivable 'way in which we can gain from this Philippine business cither glory or profit.". We have been assured time and time again that the Filipmos are "pacified" uic luiuuiuiiuiui; yt'uiuai mat ou.mJu troops are necessary and will be neces sary f cr years to come to hold the Fili pinos down. Jones, on the floor of the j house, extracted from Colonel Benja- min Franklin Marsh of Illinois the fact that it costs $1,000 per annum t maintain a soldier at home and much I more tproDBDiy tw ice as niueuj iu maintain him abroad. That'wcv.kl be j $100,000,000 a year, to say nothing of : the loss of life and the huge pension roll we are saddling on ourselves. In ; view cf these facts I was ttrroughly i justified in characterising "Uncle ! Joe's" scheme as "the most idiotic ever i hatched in the brain of man" and his j "forever and a day" declaration as "the ' most melancholy ever heard in cou- gress." ! Holding the riril'ppines "forever and ; a day" is the old, futile and condemned performance of "shearing a wolf," ut terly profitless raid void f glory. Perhaps the illustrious Sucker spoke unadvisedly in the heat of debate in enunciating his "forever and a day" j programme and when he cools oft may ; renege. isc men change uicir minus; , fools never do, and "Uncle Joe" is not : a foal, whatever else be may be. So j there is hope fcr iiiin. Un-American. The appointment cf a special em- ! bassy to attend the coronation of King Edward VII. is a . distinctively mi-. American performance. We went out of the coronation business July 4. 1770, and should not enter into it again. So far as I am concerned I will never vote one cent of the people's m. ncy to pay the expenses cf anybody to help crown any king in England cr else where. This embassy is a superfluous piece of ilunkyism. Wo are already represented at the court of St. James by our embassador, Hon. Joseph II. Choate, .popularly named Joe Choate, who is vaunted by his friends and ad mirers as one of the most brilliant cf mortals and who for some three or four years has been swinging the cen ser under the nose of British royalty by advocating an alliance betwixt the United States and Great Britain. . If it was absolutely necessary that we stul tify ourselves by having some Ameri can aid in holding up the train of Ed w'ard VII.; why not let Mr. Choate per form that un-American function? Did we send any special euiltassy to help croy.-:i" George IV.? Not any. One James Monroe was president then. He was a disciple and bosom friend of the immortal Jyffei son, who hated kingcraft as the devil h'-itcs holy wa ter. Did wo Sv?:id anv special emany to help crown William IV., the sailor king? Not much. One Andrew Jack sou was in the While House then, whose chief glory was that at New Orleans he had trounced the British army in most astounding fashion. Did wo send Americans to kotow befot-j royalty at the coronation of Queen Victtala? Not that anybody has heard of. Martin Van Buren. "Old Hickory's" favorite pupil, wr.s at the helm then, and we were not thou engaged in the un-American caper of aping .royalty and aristocracy. We are progressing after the manner of the crab back ward growing like a cow's tail down ward. It is all right to welcome and enter tain Prince Henry "Uuser Heinrich" of Ilohenzollern. He is our guest, and American hospitality demands ; that we receive him cordially and that we fot the bills. Another reason is that fcr a long time a little coterie of auglomaniacs in this "country have been 'endeavoring to commit us .to an English alliance and to get us into a row with Germany.- Our kindly recep tion of Prince Henry will demonstrate that we are net the enemy of Germa ny, but desire to be on good terms with her. The entertainment of Prince Henry and the sending of a special embassy i wmmoaweaicn" ami oiAcr vaiuaoie , works. Upon being asked recently to j aid In raising revenue to eudow a 1 chair of history in a South African col lege he made this caustic reply: It seems almost a mcckery in the fright- ' ful state of things in South Africa, with martial law everywhere, all interest in education paralyzed, the p:o;!e unable to move from place to place, an intensity of passion aroused vhich threatens bitter ness for generations to come and the probable loss of South Africa to Britain to go on the platform with smooth generali ties about history a history which has not saved us from repeating the blunders of 17T5 and tho dulc;t notes of peace where there i3 no peace. Not Generally Known, but Very Rich. The morning after the New Jersey legislature elected Mr. Dryden to the senate of the United States the Wash ington Post headed its account of the proceedings writh the suggestive col location of words "Not Generally Known, but Very Rich," a descriptio personte which might be properly ap plied to most of the senators elected by Republicans in these later days. Somebody perhaps it was Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll dubbed the sen ate "the millionaires' club," a name likely to stick. Mr. Dryden may be a most estimable gentleman. Most like ly he is. He certainly has made a great success of his business of con ducting the Prudential Insurance com pany, but no doubt ex-Attorney Gen eral John W. Griggs would have been elected but for Drjden's millions. New Democratic Whip. That handsome, faithful, able and in defatigable Misaourian, James Tighl man Lioyd, has achieved a new and onerous position, that of Democratic whip in the house. It is a place of ex treme difficulty, great labor and vast importance. Few men are willing to assume its multifarious responsibilities and fewer still are fit to discharge its duties. He hrust know not only the Washington residence, but also the Washington places of recreation and the Washington habits of every Dem ocratic representative. His chief busi ness is to keep tab on members, see tj it that they are in their places to vote or are duly paired, all of which neces sitates the constant attendance of the ! whip himself, but also his sleepless vigilance in looking after the others, i That Lloyd was selected for this del icate and arduous position and to lead this strenuous life for the party's an.i the country's good is a high and we;! deserved compliment to the young Mis sourian. He. will not have any "timo to throw at the birds," r.s "Uncle Joe'' Cannon would say, while he is whip. He will not have much leisure fcr or- j atcry, but. will probably accomplish 1 more gcod for the party than will all' I the orators in the house. Lloyd is the second youngest member of the Mis souri delegation. He is universally rec ognized as a rising man. No better Democrat walks the earth than the new Democratic whip. Economy.

The number cf Mid that go to th arctic regions to bred is vast beyoii 1 concei tion. They go not by th ; sands, but. by tonr. and hundred-- o;' thousands, and because nowhen- else in the world dees nature provide at the same time and in the sa..:.- place such a lavish prodigality of food'. The vogctath.ii consists of cranberry, cloudberry and crowberry bushes, and these, forced by the perpetual sun shine of the arctic summer, bear enor mous crops of fruit. But the crop is j not ripe until the middle and end of the arctic summer, and if the fruit eat- ; ing birds had to wait until it was ripe they would starve in the meantime, so they arrive cn the very day of the melting of the snow. But each year the snow descends on an immense crop of ripe fruit before the birds have time to gather it. It is thus preserved perfectly fresh and pure, and the melting of the snow disc-loses the bushes, with the uuconsum ed last year's crop hanging on thoni or lying, ready to be eaten, on the ground. The frozen meal stretches across the breadth of northern Asia. It never decays and is accessible the moment the snow melts. The same heat which thaws the fruit brings into being the I most prolific Insect life in the world j the mosqtiito swarms on the tundra. No European can live there without a veil after the snow melts. The gun barrels are black with them, and clouds of them often obscure the sight. Thus the insect eating birds have only to open their mouths to fill them with mosquitoes, and thus the pres ence of swarms of cliff chaffs, pipis and the wagtails in this arctic region is accounted for.

The Phila delphia: Ncrth American's latest n:mn? for Governor Wnliam A. Stone is "tha amiable pachyderm occupying the executive-mansion at Ilarrisbr.r; -." It re quired a good deal of ingenuity and some humor to originate such a title as that for the chief magi;; rate of tho state founded by William I'enn. Guess tho governor is not singing "Call Me Pet Names, Darling.-' England It Is Withheld Front Many Full Fledged Citizens.' There are many full fledged English citizens who are disqualified from membership in parliament and from taking any part In parliamentary elec tions. Thus all peers of the realm, ex cept those Irish peers who do not hap- pen to have been elected for life to represent their order in the house of lords, are barred from the exercise of franchise. So. too. are police officials, high and low. They neither have a vote nor are they eligible. Ineligibility to parliament extends to the Anglican clergy, to Scottish Pres byterian ministers and to the Roman Catholic priesthood. Undischarged bankrupts and those convicted of fel ony and who have not completed their sentences and are merely freed on tickets of leave are likewise-disqualified from ehctiou to parliament. So, t:o. 'i- young men under the age of tv. liy-one and persons who. having t !i judicially declared insane, have r-ot been legally restored to their civic lights and privileges. Insanity, however, does not consti tute any disqualification in the case of the upper house of parliament. Luna tics are permitted to take part in the divisions in the gilded chamber, and at ' the time when the Irish home rule bill, enacted by the house of commons, was defeated by the house of lords no lesg than three crazy peers were brought ' down to Westminster by their keepers ' from the insane asylums in which they were held under restraint aud voted as hereditary legislators against home rule being granted to Erin. The stage line between Atchison and Placerville. Cal... which ran daily coaches for about live years in 1 Si JO-05, was the finest ever known in tin stage coach business. In equipment no sim ilar line could equal it. It was the greatest stage line cn the globe, carry ing passengers, mail and express. hi 1804-05 it cost more for locals be tween Atchison and Denver than the ! railroad fare now costs, with meals j added. The run from Atchison tJ Denver is now made in something like fifteen hours as against six days in the stagecoach days. At one time the fare from Atchison to Denver was $175; the railroad fare at present is $15. The quickest time ever made by stage be tween Atchison and Denver was four and a half days. Ben Holladay. own er of the line, traveled by special "coaches from Placerville. Cal.. to Atch ison. 2.0C0 miles, in twelve days an:l two hours, .beating the regular daily schedule five days. This feat cost Hol laday $20,000. but it was a great ad vertisement for- his line. The stages, when crowded, carried fifteen persons, besides great quantities of mail and express. One of the coaches used on the Atch- ison-Placerville line is now in the Smithsonian institution at Washing ton. After leaving Atchijm it was j operated on the Deadwoofl line and was several times captured by Indians and outlaws. Once when captured by outlaws it carried $00,000 in gold. In this attack three guards were killed. Buffalo Bill heard that the old coach had been abandoned and went after it. nsing it for years in his wild west show. In London it carried the Prince of Wales, and all the notables of Eu rope examined It with interest. On the Fourth of July. 1805. this famous old coach was exhibited with the wild west show at Concord. N. II.. where it was made. The owners and employees of the stagecoach factory gave the his toric old stage n great deal of atten tion, and in the parade it bore this sign: "180.1 Home Again- 1S0.V Including Atchison and Placerville. there were 153 stations on the line, the loncest In existence (1.013 milesk. The fare was $225. or about 12 cents a mile. The stations were from ten to fourteen miles apart. Some days $2,000 was taken in r.t the stage ollice in Atchison for fares alone. Each passenger was allowed twenty-five pounds of baggage; each pound of excess cost $1. which was the price for carrying express. The fare to Denver during the war was $175. or 27 cents a mile per passenger. The stages were nearly always crowd ed, and passengers were often com peted to wait several days at Atchison before they could be accommodated. A minister once refused to travel on Sunday and abandoned his place. He did not get a chance to go until the following Sunday, and this time he con cluded that, under certain circumstan ces, traveling on Sunday was excusa ble.

By ruthlessly hanging Scheeper3 Lord Kitchener has succeeded in el-jing two things first, "damning Limself to everlasting fame," second, making a martyr. ' Since the bloody Britishers hanged General Hayne of South Caror lina no more beastly or idiotic per-, formanee has been done by any mili tary commander than the murder of Scheepers, for that is precisely what his execution was a dastardly mur der. Think of it a sick mart, drag ged out of bed ia a hospital, tried for his life by a drumhead court martial, convicted and summarily executed for the crime of fighting for liberty, home, wife, children and native land! Some years ago I was at Charleston, and the house in which General Ilayns was confined and from which he was led forth to die on the gallows was pointed out to me as "a shrine of freedom."

Brooklyn Times. A CieraryuaGn'n C'nllerB. I There are persons with requests for money for queer uses. For example, a woman once wanted to borrow $5, which sum, she assured me, was ruiii cient to stock and equip a candy store, the income from which would support herself and three children. There was a man who had long been out cf work who wanted to borrow $1 with which to buy a stock cf tin horns to sell on the street at profit on the night following election day. But here, again, perhaps the stran gest case was that cf a man who came to tell mo that, as a book agert, he had been canvassing for crdeFS for the Bi ble. Not having met with success, he explained that the reason was that I "the Bible was played out."
