A Sound Position.
Senator John M. Thurston of Nebras-
' ka, gives an excellent reason for not
accepting a place in President McKin-
ley’s Cabinet. The Legislature of
Nebraska is a Popocratic body and
would elect a free coinage man, proba-
bly Bryan, to succeed Thurston.
No sound money Senator should be
given a place in the new Cabinet unless
there is a Legislature behind him to
fill his place with another sound money
man. Suitable Cabinet timber can be
found outside of the Senate, but of
sound money Senators there are none
to spare at present.

Impure “Cider” Vinegar.
Dairy Commessioner Noble and his
deputy, R. L. Gilbert, have been mak-
ing an investigation throughout the
state into the sale of impure vinegar.
They have obtained many samples of
so-called “cider” vinegar on sale in re;
tail stores. Some of the samples show
but .2 per cent, of solids which proves
that it is not cider vinegar. All this
fraudulent vinegar was branded on the
cask “Pure cider vinegar,’.’ and was
sold by agents from New York and St.
Louis. The parties retailing it claim
that it was bought in good faith,but it is
aotorlous that they bought it at a price
lower than genuine cider vinegar can
be sold. The law requires that cider
vinegar shall analyze at least 2 per cent.
of solids and that is the standard. Vin-
egar can be made of acetic acid, water
and a little coloring matter at a cost of
less than 4 cents per gallon. The dairy
commissioner has stopped the sale of
the spurious article and if the selling
agents can be‘caught in the state they
will be prosecuted. ' I

The Farmers’ Free Seeds.
O.
The Supreme Court is to be given a
chance to decide whether the distribu.
tion of free seeds is one of the powers
conferred upon Congress by the Con-
'stitution cf the United States. A Mic}:-
igan firm of seed dealers have applied
to the Federal Courts for an injunction
to restrain the Secretary of Agriculture
and his assistants, or any other person
connected with the Government from ‘
executing the law directing free seed
distribution. .
The writ is asked for on the ground
that the enforcement of the law will in.
jute the firm of D. W. Ferry‘dr Co, to
the extent of $20,000 annually in de-
priving-them of the sale of five million
packages of seeds, and that Congress is
not empowered by the Constitution to
engage in the free seed business to the
detriment and ruin of private individ-
uals or corporations who cultivate'seeds
as a means of livelihood.
It is probable that this question [as
never reached the courts before, al-
though it is manifestly a very proper
one for judicial determination. 'lhe
trainers of. the Constitution supposed
they were limiting the power of Con-
gress to certain specified conditions,
among which the distribution of free‘
seeds is not .mentioned, and there will
be some curiosity to sob whether the
Supreme Court will expand the power
to provide for .the general welfare to
include this. ‘
Campaign of Education.
Probably seven million people voted
last week to maintain the gold stan-
dard, which is reassuring and encour-
agine; but that six millions or there-
abouts voted to return to the inferior
standard long rijected by all nations
advanced in civrlization, shows
need that the campaign bf education
shall still go on. Education by precept,
however, reaches mainly those who are
capable of reasoning, and the majority
of these are already right. -' The others
will have to be educated bv events.
Most of the people who voted for
Bryan had no clear idea of what they
were voting for. They only knew that
they were poor and {bait Bryan prom-
ised to help them. If they had been
profitably employed they would, have
paid no attention to his nonsense. And
if the present promise of commercial
activity and industrial and agricultural
W zosperity be realized, the populistie‘
g .
. clear and firmly enforced policy on the
I
the -
propaganda will soon come to an end.
To secure this needs a wise and mm -
dent, and, at the same time, a sound,
part of those rcspousrble for. the course
of government finance in the immediate
future. This is the time to make the
victory of sound money permanent.
The campaign of education has brought
forth good fruit among the people; if
the leaders have been sufficiently edu-
cated at the same time, all will be well.

THE RETIRED BU RGLAR.
He Takes a Week’s Vacation. but He
Doasn’t Enjoy it a. Bit.
“I told you once,” said the retired
burglar, “about sitting down one night
in the parlor of a house that I’d called
at, to rest a minute, and falling asleep;
and about being woke up by the man
of the house who took me for his uncle
that he‘d been expecting on a late train
and took me upstairs and put me to
bed in the best room. Remember that?
Perhaps you remember that after the
house got quiet I opened the windOw
and got out on the roof of the veranda
just in time to hear the real uncle
come up the . path frOm the street,
and hear him and the nephew hustle
upstairs after the strange man in the
best room. eh? lVell, I had an experi-
ence once that was a great deal worse
than that.
“I had stepped into the front room of
a house from the veranda, through a
window which I’d opened without
much trouble, and which I left open so
I wouldn’t have the trouble of opening
it again when I was ready to go out. I
hadn’t much mor’n got in when a man
came through a door on the other side,
carrying a lamp, just the some as the‘
man did that took me for his Uncle.
William; and this man holds the lamp
up and looks at me and says:
“.‘Why, Bill!’
“And I’m blessed if it wasn’t a cousin
of mine that had moved into that town
about are years before and I know well
enough, but I‘d never been to visit
him and we’d sort 0’ half forgotten
each (iher the way people do when
they live in separate place like that.
I'd thought of him when I struck the
town, but it only just sort of occurred
to me that it was the town Steve lived
in. I hadn‘t any more idea of meeting
him than if we'd been a thousand miles
apart.
“ ‘How‘d you get in, old man?’ says
Steve, and I give him the same jolly
about coming late and thinking I
wouldn’t disturb the folks, but justsit
in the parlor till morning and surprise
'cm. . . ‘
“ ‘Well, come on now,‘ he says, ‘and
you can surprise the rest of ’em when
you get up;’ and he took me off up.
stairs to bed. I set my bag down a. lit-
tle to. one side when we got into the
room. but his eye happened to light on
it. and he says: '
“ ‘I should think from the size of
your bug you didn’t mean to stay long;’ .
and I says no I hadn’t meant to, but
I‘d stay as long as I could.
"Of: course I couldn’t slide down no
versnlln post on Stephen. I had to stay
and make. 'em a visit: and I did. I
stayed a week, and they made me just
as comfortable as they could; but I
didn‘tcnjoy it a bit."
College Smokers Go Down Foot.
Prof. il‘iskc, official physician at
Yale, gives as a page from his experi
once, that of a. class of 147 student;
the 77 who did not use tobacco sue-
passed- the 70 who did by 10 per cent
increase in weight, 24 per cent, in-
crease in height, 26 per cent increase
in chest girth, and 77 per cent in lung
capacity. The highest fourth of the
class in scholarship were almost all
non—smokers, and the lowest fourth
almost all smokers—Philadelphia
Time“.
Camels Break Their Hearts.
As a matter of fact, and in spite of
its having carried Mohammed in four
leaps from Jerusalem to Mecca, seven
miles an hour is the camel’s limit; nor
can it maintain this rate over two
hours. Its usual speed is five miles
an hour—a slow pace beyond which it
is dangerous to urge it, lest, as Asiat~
ics say, it might break its heart and die
literally on the spot. When a camel is
pressed beyond this speed, and is spent,
it kneels down, and not all the wolves
in Asia will make it budge again. The
camel remains where it kneels, and,
where it kneels it dies. A fire undel.
its nose is useless.-Chicago Inter-(1Q.
