Chicago is convicting her cit izens of stealing water. She should present them with beer or whisky if she doesn't wan them to drink water. It seems a pretty low down piece , of partisanship to give $5,000,000 to an exposition a St. Louis and refuse $250,000 to a similar show at Charleston. George Gould has been in vited to take a seat on the floo of the Texas legislature, and Texas is the state that first be gan the octopus hunting now so popular a feature of western life Now that New York has planned to erect a great nava arch as a water gate at the south ferry in that city, 6he will pro-ceed pro-ceed to pay its cost by taking up subscriptions in other parts of the country. The hog is the mortgage lifter, the sheep the farm fertilizer, the cow the barn builder, and the hen the grocery-bill payer. This quartet, with a man and woman not afraid of the work in caring for them, will insure prosperity on any farm. Boston'sCity Council baj ap propriated $15,000 to "extermi nate the orgyia leucostigma." We are not quite clear about this, but we feel that it would be well worth the money to get rid of such a thing, anyway, no mat ter what it is. What advantage shall it be to the United States to drive Russia Rus-sia out of Manchuria for the benefit of Great Britain? American Ameri-can trade has increased 500 per cent in that territory since Russia Rus-sia took hold and spent a good deal of money in reducing it to order. The rush for jobs in Wash ington is reported as being the greatest in history, with the sole exception of that at the begin rting of McKinley's first term. Evidently, the faithful do not accept the President's dictum that changes will be made for cause only. Senator McLaurin of South Carolina has left the Democratic party, declaring that he will at- tend no more of its caucuses This would seem to be the be ginning of the dividing on nat ural political lines in the stales where the negro has been eliminated elim-inated instead of their remaining solid, held so by the threat of negro domination. Reciprocity, Commissioner Kasson has tendered his resig nation to the President for the second time, the cause being his disgust at the ignoring of the treaties negotiated by him with foreign nations. Mr. Kasson think, and rightly, too, that it is perilously near dishonesty for Congress to authorize treaty dickering f that induces other countries to grant special rates pending ratification, when it has no intention whatever of ratifying.,. , - ..... ' He Needs More Light. At the electric light meeting last Thursday evening some wonderful things were told of electricity and of the all-suffic ieneyof the coal' oil glims for lighting purposes. "Some of the statements made should be at once communicated to scientific and technical schools the world over, in order that humanity may benefit by the important discoveries made by the brilliant intellects of such Springville genii 'men as James Holly. It 19 needless to remark to people who know hirft that Mr. Holly is "agin" anything that tends to get the raunicipa wagon out of the old rut, or to lure one single, little red cent out of the pockets of the gentle man aforesaid in the form of taxes, etc. But we will let that pass and consider some of the alleged information which the gentleman offered an intelligent looking assembly. t Mr. Holly has been a great traveler, having been to Goshen on the one hand and to England on the other. He has journeyed from Dan on the north to Beer-sheba Beer-sheba in the south, and that in late years, too. In his wanderings wander-ings up and down the land, he told the assembly, he had found few tawns where electric lights were used and proven to be a success. lhe light from an electric lamp had been found to be unhealthful, etc., etc. This was a startling piece of information, as we have hinted before, and the advocates of electric lights felt their under jaws drop and play a tattoo on their collar bones. Mr. Holly also stated tha electric lights were not needed in bpnngville. In his large house of ten rooms his family used for lighting purposes only one gallon of coal oil per month. Whether his family was extrav agant or not he did not say. Now, we don't know anything about this case personally, only what Mr. Holly tells in public, but if we were to express an off- lnnd opinion we would say that this one-gallon-a-month bu jiness was just what ailed the old man. No man can get wisdom with out light, and Mr. Holly should slowly increase his dose of light just a little at a time till he gets used to it, you kuow until he reaches the two-gallon 1 1 1 a, . stage, at least. At tne same time we do not wish the gentle man to do violence to his own feelings. Citizens of Springville, is a man of this type a sufe coun sellor? Do the 4,000 people of this community want to meas ure themselves by the meagre, reflected intelligence of a one-gallon-a month mind? Scarcely. They are not built that way, and they know as much as the common com-mon run of people, even if some of them don't look it. When electric lights are put in, as they soon must be, the City should donate a half-dozen to Mr. Holly, in order that he may bask in their radiance and make a practical test V the truth of the statements which he has extracted from his wonderful won-derful imagination. The Rubberneck. A rubber-neck is' a person, male or female, whose life is dedicated to other people's business. busi-ness.

Rub ber-necks seldom die, and when they happen to theii poor, un happy spirits just hang around when the wind blows so chilly and cold, and other old things prowl. Good, wholesome people are too busy with the decent sweet things of life to be rubber-necks. Young men who are "sent to college" do not always get enough out of it to pay their parents for the trouble of send ing them. A young man who lives in this state.did not go to Harvard on that basis. He was not sent; he went against the opposition of his people, because he wanted an education. He lived for a time on $1.46 a week.

Possibly nay, probably it is better for Cuba and for the United States that lhe former should remain in leading strings, but the plain fact, nevertheless, is that the United Slates is pledged, formally uud solemnly, to set her absolutely free. If this is unwise, it should have been thought of some three years ago.

Machell, and from WicbUyel quote the following: "Fiom time to time efforts are made by well-meanina people to use the drama as a means of educating. But people wish to be aiuused they refuse to be made mora by means of the drama. So they re Jcct the dramatiz' d sermon and go u the sensational drama for the sake of experiencing at least a keen and in tense emotion, even if it be low and mean in its tendency; and they arc right. They intuitively seek for truth, but look for it in the wrong place." He then discusses what should be the subject of the real drama. The true drama, he declares, is the soul drama, which has been lost to the world for ages. "In the days of Aeschylu, the drama was sacred. Its performances were sacred ceremonies in which men learned f see them selves." The writer then speaks of the revival of this true drama by Katherine Tingley in the Isis Con servatory of Music and Drama at Point Loma.
