In the event that this yreai political affair is pulled off. one of them is likely to be a can didate for the coroner's office. Another eoncentrado order has been issued by Coventor Wright in the Philippines, and yet President Rooso velt tells us that everything is moving nlonjr peacefully there.

Some years atro it was predicted that the bicycle and the automobile would drive the horse out of business. Now it is declared th.it the trolley wili do the same tliintr for the steam locomotive, y.j far ncfilier the horse nor Ids iron co-worker are showing any disposition to abandon the field. The Republican national committee has issued a iviiuphlct for campaign circulation the title of which is "What Roosevelt Says." The committee should publish a sepiel on "What Roosevelt Does." it heini; vastly more important to the voter to know what the candidate has done and is likely t do than v. hat he said he would d .

The lymohcry is: "Smd." rapiil; "Paarde loos." horseless: "zoondet-rspoorw without rails; ""pet rolirijMii;." driven by petroleum. The whole word, as can be easily seen, means motor car.

That President Iioo?e vclt should be even eojrnlzant of the bribery and corruption Is unfortunate, but that he is benefiting by it personal ly is deplorable. The Cost of Government. Iu a recent editorial the New York World calls attention to the need of re form in the cost of jroverninent. It says; Jude Parker's need of acceptance would have been incomplete indeed without a statement of the fact that now. an in lTO and 1S02. "reform 13 necessary" in the conduct of the gov ernment. If there are no evils to be corrected, no wrongs to be righted, no rascals to be turned out, the necessity for a chtfnjre is not apparent. Jud'" Parker approves the St. Louis platform's demand for "a. thorough iu vesti;;atio!i of those executive depart ments already known to teem with corruption, as well as other depart ments suspected of harborim? corrup tion, and the punishment of ascertained corruptiou'sts without fe.ir or favor or regard to persons." He likewise in dorses the demand for reasonable re tn :i hment and insists that the rov ernment "should practice economy in the expenditure f the moneys of the people and to that end should return once more to the methods of the found ers id' the republic." Thar there is need of a searching in vestigation and a determined prosecu tion of culprits is evident to every body who has knowledge of the con dition of affairs at Washington and elsewhere. Altle-uuh Candidate House vclt h:ul the hardihood to say in his speech of acceptance that "never lias the administration of the preeminent been on h cleaner and higher level." President IJoosevclt in his message to c-iinrress last December did not ex-a'-erate the truth in saving, "While there may have been as much othdal corruption in former years, there has been more developed and brought to lizht In the immediate past than in the preceding century of our country's hlst-.ry." l'.r all tlie corruption that has been brought to lipht. how few of the real culprits the men "higher up" have been punished: A few underlines bore the weight of tlie j .resident's wrath at the exposure of the postollice scandals. And the postmaster general under whose administration those frauds ami robberies continued and who scoffed at iei!ernl liristow's revelations as "hot air" still sits in the cabinet us o!ie of this hotiest president's "consti tutional adiscrs" and campaign man upers: The World said to President Roose velt in its open letter and no denial has been made of lh" statements--that - "Yom have, by your recommendations to congress and your signature to its extravagances, increased the national expenditure during your term to more than J,r.x).(XK.(MiO. an ex. ess of :?'li.

The fact was also mentioned that the surplus of SSo Ootj.ooo in PMi ha been conertcd into a deficit which no otti oi.il jiiiruliuir can conceal. In view of tills surprising record of extra valance the World said to the president: "It is perhaps not strange, but will be regarded by the taxpayers as sijrniii c:int, that the words economy.' re trenchment' and 'reform. once the rule of the nation and the shibboleth of statesmen, do not once appear in your entire speech of acceptance not once!" No explanation of this ominous si lence has been plvcn. There is every reason to. think that the president be- Poves. with the other politicians of his party, that "this is a two billion dollar country" and that even reas mable economy and common piaider.ee are old fashioned ideas, out of place in this po ahead aire. 1 "pon what other theory can the fact the explained, as stated by the World's Waddnirton correspondent, that-- " President Roosevelt's administration for four years lias added $1S. h . n h) a month, or S'Joo.ihmi a day. or 'J.-o) an hour, more to the cost of government than was paid during the hist four year of President Cleveland's adminis tration;" Is it not true that "reform is necos- Our Work in Spanish-America.

His subject was mtntal philosophy, and Le was treating of the emotions. "Love." he said, "is perhaps the emo tion which is best calculated to illus trate the actual shallowness ftf our emotional natures. A man sees a wom an whom he desires to possess. The faculty of imagination makes her a paragon In his eyes. Constant dwell ing on one subject produces mania. If he marries the ceremony is scarcely performed before reality usurps the place so re ent'y occupied by emotion, and the woman appears to him as her real self, with the particular faults be longing to that particular woman. If he does not marry he is in time cured of his mania, and the object that has excited it becomes commonplace to him. P.ut he is not immune. The love t motion may again and again be ex cited, the object in each case being a different woman." .When the class was dismissal the students passe. 1 out of the lecture room, and if any of them dissented from his views the lecturer was not made aware of the fact. His remarks upon love produced no marked effect on the young men of his class, but among ihe girls there was a babe of tomrues iudiiruaiitly denying the lec turer's position, most of them averring that the "coxcomb" had been jilted. One girl, and only one. stool by him. 'A modest feminine creature who would never be suspected of harboring such heretical sentiments. Rut as she had not ea-t off the awkwardness of her girlhood au.l answered to the common place name of Luphemia Smith the other girls declared that she agreed with the young professor because it was not probable that she would ever have a lover. Ten years passed. The man who used bis "chair" simply to gain a live lihood while he studied a profession had become an eminent attorney. He had been recently introduced to a lady who bad taken possession of his heart. He had forgotten his lectures on men tal philosophy and on this particular occasion was declaring his passion. Nevertheless he had funned analytical habits and must needs fall into them. "There i nothing," lie said, "that so Ftromrly points to a divinity in our na tures as love. Never have I been so impressed with this as since my heart has been healing in unis n with yours. Selfishness dies in the pre-ence of love as a noxious vapor is dispelled by the sun. It is my delight to servo you. I wo'-.M even die for you. Rvery Hash of your beautiful eyes, every note iu your melodious oice. every one of your many adorable traits, impels me to cast myself at your feet and beg you to permit mo to forego all seltish pleas ure for the one supreme joy of being your slave." "I regret." said the lady coolly, "that I cannot agree with you as to the na ture of love. "Love is perhaps the emo tion best calculated to illustrate the actual shallowness of our emotional natures.' " "How can you sny that? You would not did you love as I love. My passion for you is not an emotion; it is akin to the nature of the great Creator, a spark from heaven, a blessed privilege beside which th pleasures, the ambi tions, the successes of life, dwindle int nothingness." "The faculty of the imagination." sh replied in an argumentative tone, "makes me a paragon in your eyes. Constant dwelling on one subject has produced mania. After marriaire real ity would usurp the place of emotion, and I would appear to you with the particular faults that belong to me in dividually." "I would become every day, every hour, more and more devoted. If I am not blessed by being permitted t spend my life in loving you the bright prospects before ine will wither lik burned parchment." "On the contrary, you will soon be cured of your mania, and I shall be-c-nme coiii motiplace." "I can never love another." "You will not be immune. The emO" t'en may again and again be excited, th object in each case being a differ ent woman." Something in the lady's eye the sus picion of a smile served to kindle the , flame of memory. It mshod upon the I lover that the object of his love had j b en quoting his own words. ! I "You are a graduate of ?" j j "I am." j ! "And attended my lectures;'' j j "I did." I !

"Papa used to sny that I looked like a colt when I was in my teens." There was a short silence, during which the man endeavored to recover 1 from his confusion. " nut rot 1 must nave taiiieil m those days! I was infatuated with realism and materialism and all tiiat.
