Still it must be said for Bryan that if
he’s trying to get into the band wagon
he’s willing to blow his own horn.
The rainy season’s about due in the
Philippines and it’s a pity Aguinaldo
doesn’t know enough to come in but of
the wet.
The city authorities would do well to
request the trolley companies to stop
the spreading of trolley grease over
the streets.
What’s the matter with Congress-
man Charley Russell for the next

Already the summer girl is putting

The first sea serpent for the season of
1899 has been sighted off the New Eng-
land coast. It has taken the place ‘of
the Spanish war vessels that were~oruis-
ing about there last year. ’
The boys out in the Philippines do
dream of home once in awhile. “I
dreamed last night,” writes Clyde
Knock from Manila to his folks in'
Independence, Missouri, “that I was at
home and had a good dinner, after
which I went skating.”

longing for the past ten years. ‘
It is rarely if ever that municipal de-
tectives do anything to deserve com-
mendation, but with John Wilkie’s ex-
ample before them they may learn that
in their profession .are oppOrtunities
apart from boasting and swaggcring.
Mr. Wilkie was a newspaper reporter
He was employed in the routine work
for a Chicago journal when Secretary
Gage sent for him to replace Mr. Hazen.
He took the office upon the understand-
ing that he should be free of old meth-
ods_ and work in newspaper ways to get
intelligence. He drov: Lieut. Carran-
za out of Canada and captured his cor-
respondence. He found Moore, the
spy, and took him to prison, where he
committed suicide. He broke up com-
munication between the United States
and Spain, or nearly so, duringlthe war.
He has arrested the chief workers in
the most stupendous scheme of conter-
felting the world, has ever known, se-
curing at the same time the needed evi-
dence and the “plant.” These are the
} things detectives are expected to do,
and he has done it well.
The Supreme court of the United
States. with Justices Fuller, Gray and
McKenna' dissenting, has just rendered
a decision declaring that the Michigan
law, requiring railrbads to sell 1,000-
mile tickets good for two years for $20,
is unconstitutional. The law had been
sustained by' the Supreme Court of
Michigan. I
‘ While there will be little surprise in
legal circles atthe decision, the grounds
upon which it is made will, if applied to
any broad sense, involve the abandon-
ment of the entire system of selling
special rate transportation. The Court
held that the rate was a pure, bald and
unmixed power of discrimination in fa-
vor of a few persons having occasion to,
travel on the roads and permitting them
, to do so at less expense than others,
providing they. buy a certain maximum
amount of transportation at a time. p
The’ interesting questibn raised by
this decision is as to the'right' and pow-
er of the railroads to do of their own
accord what the law cannot compel
them to '10.. Some one who cannot af-l
ford or who does not choose to buy a
1,000-mile ticket in order to get a two-
cent rate is pretty sure to call some
railway into court for the practice of
voluntary discrimination in the sale of
LOGO-mile tickets, and when this hap-
pens the Supreme Court decision in the
Michigan case is pretty likely. to figure
“very prominently in the arguments of
the lawyers for the plaintiff.

PARIS, April 26.——According to the
Temps, a member of the Dreyfus court
martial named Freystaetter in testify-
ing before the court of cassation de-
clared that it was the evidence given
by Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who aft-'
erward confessed that he had forged a.
letter which was largely instrumental
in preventing a revision of the Dreyfus
case and then cut his throat in prison,
which decided the court martial to con-
vict Dreyfus and that the only docu-
ment produced in the presence of the
prisoner was the bordereau. The Temps
adds that another witness 11 ed Lu-
pine, who was also examine by the
court of cassation, dwelt on the impor—
tance of Lieu enant Colonel Henry’s
evidence and testified that the inquiries
which the police were instructed to
make at the time resulted in utterly
refuting the stories to the effect that
Dreyfus . had squandered money on
cards and women. -

The President 'hnd Secretary my.
Favor the Project. ‘x’.
WASHINGTON, April 26.——A signal
evidence of the purpose of the United.
States to maintain friendly' relations
with Germany has been given in the
favorable action of the president at the
instance of Secretary Hay in approving
the project for a new transatlantic ca-
ble running between Germany and the
United States. The project was broixght
forward by prominent German—Ame’rl:
can interests and has had the active
support of the German embassador
here, Dr. von Holleben.
The new company is to be known as
the German-American Telegraph com-
pany, and among those interested in it
are prominent firms in Germany as well
as a number of Americans. The details
of organization have been in charge of
Mr. Sporer, 'in New York. The negotia-
tions ,herehave brought out a favorable
opinion from the attorney general as to
the rightof granting cable landings in
.the United States.
The German terminus of the new ca-
ble will, it is understood, be at Ems, a.
town and wé'tering place in the prqvince
of Hesse-Nassau, PrusSia, near CQ’ lenz.
The American terminus is expec ed to
be at New York. The route-of the line
will be by way of the Azores, a. Portu-
guese possession, so that it is presumed
that concessions also have been obtain-
ed from Portugal, This will be the first
cable ever'laid between Germany "and
the United States and with the Franco-
American cable will be the only line not
touching on British soil.
Som‘e Long Fish Lines.
Some of the cod lines used in the fish-
ing industry measure 7,000 fathoms
long, or about eight ordinary miles,
having 4,680 hooks, the whole costing,

CAPTAIN COG‘HLAN'S CASE.
Bravery at Manila Maiy Save Him
From Severe Discipline.
WASHINGTON, April 26.—At the
cabinet meeting yesterday the recent
utterances of Captain Coghlan of the
cruiser Raleigh were informally dis-
cussed. Secretary Long said he had
received a letter on the subject from
Captain Coghlan.
The captain disclaimed any intention
of insulting the German emperor or
Admiral von Diedrichs, and his re-
marks on'the occasion 0f the Union
League club banquet were made in the
most informal manner, in the company
of friends, without any thought that
they would be reported in the public
press. Asthey did appear, he said, .they
Were exaggerated and distorted, and he
was made to say things which he did
not utter.
He claims that under the circum.-.
stances his remarks should be regard-
ed as privileged. 1 ‘1 ;'
After the cabinet meeting adjourned
Secretary Long and Secretary Hay r,e—‘
mained a. short time‘with the president?
to further discuss thematter.
derstood .that ”the captain will soon ‘re-g
tire from the service through the 'regu-'
lar channel, and it is thought that in
'view of this fact, and, further, that he
rendered distinguished service. at the
naval engagement at Manila, the aii-‘
thorities will show him as much con-
sideration as is consistent with naval
discipline.
He Fooled The Surgeons.
All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of
West Jefferson, 0., after suffering 18
months from Rectal Fistula, he would
die unless a costly operation was per-
formed: but be cured himself with five
