This' tremendous rush of our industrial development which has brought in its train so much that is good and also of necessity brought somewhat Its evil the very intensity of the progress that has been made was meant that new and Infinitely difficult problems have arista which we must strive to solve as beat we ma. It is no easy task deal with great Industrial tendencies. To deal with them In a spirit of presumptious and rash folly, and have above all to deal with them in a spirit of envy an I hatred and malice would be to invite disaster and the disaster would be so widespread that the country would rock to Its foundations.

C'h, when you find her, Nightingale, I know, Some time between the twilight and the morn, Tou Joy will make the listening lilies glow; And you who In the dusk were so forlorn, In eestacy of love will tremble so You will fall fainting on the cruel thorn.

Elsa Barker In Harper's Magazine. According to reports the bluff that General Funston was to be sent to Arizona has had a wonderful effect upon the Apache Indians, and they are as quiet as lambs at the present writing. AN INCENTIVE TO EXTRAVA GANCE. The consolidation of forces between the South Carolina congressman and the New York delegation to secure money for the Charleston and Bufflo expositions recalls forcibly the statement of President Arthur that the day was not far distant when combinations would be the order of the hour In congress to fleece the public treasury in the interest of some one section of the country. That this partiality would lead to the extension of similar favors in other directions and ere long the amount of congressional appropriations would be simply enormous.

That day has arrived. The congressional appropriations today are upwards of ILMO.eoo.OOO, all due to this swapping and trading of votes In congress for state appropriations. When a member wants any particular appropriation for his state.it is but human nature for hSm to agree to exchange votes without any too much investigation as to what manner of bill he is lending his support to on the other side. As a result of this the congressional appropriations have been climbing at an alarming rate of late years and the record of the congress Just adjourned Is sufficient evidence that the practice has been carried too far already. No country in the world can stand such a drain upon its revenues and the sooner our congressmen at Washington discover this fact the better it will be for the future stability of our government and its cash account.

If Senator Bailey and one or twk other pugilists in the United States senate intend continuing their prize fighting performance it might be well to apply the "water cure" the same as in the case of the Filipinos. LOYALTY TO PARTY A MISNOMER Loyalty to the party In name only if we are to judge from recent actions of a number of dlstrir i convention, held In the ate of Texas during the present summer. A case in point is at hand now lrt the action to meet in Waco In August. The ad Journment was due to a combination which coold control the adjourning proposition without oeing able to con trol enough votes in the convention to nominate any one of said combina Don's men as against Judge Streetman the leading The adjournment was had evidently with a view of landing one of "the field'' by the time the convention reconvened in August. Thus again has a convention temporarily at least throttled the win of thj majority of the people of a district and prevented the leading man from securing the The nomina tion of one man as against the other Is a matter of small moment to The Statesman.

All the candidates are men of excellent standing both in their respective communities and throughout the state in general, and would doubtless make excellent judges. With that we have nothing to do, however. The object of referring to the convention proceedings at all Is to call especial attention to the fact that the average politician is loyal to democratic principles Just to long as said party can be of service to him and his friends. So marked as has been this truism of late years that the people In general have tome to look upon party organizations as a farce pure and simple, and It is not to be wondered at that they take this view of the matter if they are to have such shining examples as the one setting before them in the Judicial con vention Just adjourned. I The dust question is still one of mo ment In Austin, notwithstanding the efforts of the city government and the weather man to keep the dust down.

The bllllon-dollar republican congress that has Just adjourned developed a mania for wasting the public funds.

After pensioning deserters from Confederate armies they could think of nothing else and appropriated J5000 to build a monument to Noah, It Is a wonder that they did not make an appropriation to have the bronze statues of the twelve patriarchs set up In Statuary hall. A FEW MINUTES OF FOLLY. The pastor called at a Columbus house the other day where little Freddie, a bright youngster, is a great pet. Freddie had previously heard his mother say that the pastor was very successful in saving souls. During a pause in the conversation, Freddie, who was sitting on the pastor's knee, asked: "Do you save souls?" "Yes, Freddie," replied the man of the cloth.

"Will you tell me," went on Freddie, seriously, "how many souls you got saved up?" Ohio State Journal. "This Is a remarkable climate," said the tourist. "It is," answered the old settler.

The Fourth of July banquet of the American society in London was given at the Hotel Cecil tonight. There was remarkable manifestation of sympathy for King Edward in his illness, and Incidentally there were some open expressions of displeasure with Joseph Choate. the United States ambassador. Between 400 and 500 Americans were present at the banquet, and the specially invited guests included Lieut, Gen. Sir Francis Grenfell.

the governor of Malta; Sir John Gordon Sprigs-prime minister of Cape Colony: Sir Robert Bond, the premier of New foundland; Gen. Joseph Wheeler and the United States consul jreneraJ in London, H. Clay Evans. The dinner was expedited in order to enahl fr Choate, Henry White, secretary of the American embassy, and the colonial officials to attend the reception at the India office. Mr.

Choate opened the at tonight's banquet by reading the last bulletin concernlne the OnrHf Inn of the king. It was received with cheers. The ends of the world." nai tu. ambassador, "have been brought very close together these last few days. King Edward's health occupies the tender, serious and affectionate re gard of the civilized world.

At this Danquet, and especially urxn the Fourth of July, which I believe contributed to the happiness of both countries, I can express for the people of the United States and without unauiy assuming authority, their earnest and hearty symDathv with King Edward and his people in their anxiety, and can say that the American people offer for his majesty's speedy recovery as earnestly, as ardently, as if no sen- "No' wonder all hearts were nrnstra- ted and that everv note of nrennra. tion ceased. Now. when hnn ho. vlved, we are all somewhat chastened by the brief but startling experience.

Anxiety still mingles with hope, and speecnes on this occasion wouiri suitably omitted." In view of these Choate urged that the usual hilarity" vcicuiauuu oe tempered. He referred to President Roosevelt, "whom all men delighted to honor," and his keen sympathy for the king in his illness, to which he drew the parallel of the feeling in Great Britain over the death of President McKinley. "Indignation at the act of the assa-sln, said Mr. Choate, "and expressions of grief also came from all parts of the British dominions, from the king downward. One voice that week spoke more constantly ard feelingly than any one, and that was the voice of King Edward.

Not only did the king insist upon my forwarding him every message I received concerning Mr. McKinley's condition, but he answered each one with sympathetic messages. No living heart could beat more warmly toward the United State in those days than did that of hie majesty." With a brief reference to the function at the India office Mr. Choate concluded his speech. It was loudly-cheered and King Edward's health was drunk with enthusiasm In proposing the health of President Roosevelt, Sir Francis Grenfell Quoted Rear Admiral Lord Charles Rere-fr, as saying that afternoon In reply to Sir Francis' question, "Do you know Roosevelt?"

A reception was held this morning at the United States consulate. TAMMANY'S CELEBRATION. NEW YORK, July Hall today celebrated the li6th anniversary of American independence. The program differed little from that the Fourth of July celebrations in former years. W.

Bourke Cochran, who recently returned to the Tammany fold, delivered the principal address, and the other "long talk" was made by Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman. United States Senator George Vest Missouri sent a ietter of regret in which he said: I "There has never been a time In the history of our country when the free institutions established by our forefathers were in more peril than at present. The announcement is definitely made that 'we have outgrown the swaddling clothes of 1776 and muri join the world powers in trampling upon human rights and the teaching of Washington and Jefferson." William Jennings Bryan In sending regrets said: "It is more important that we should so discharge the duties of cit- '71 "71 8 U.n.hJ- a- .1 ment than that we should observe each recurring anniversary of the nation's birth. There is a never ending contest between human rights and man's unbridled greed. Some times that greed creates one issue, sometimes anotherrTut, whether It manifests itself in the tariff question, the money question, the trust question, or imperialism, it Is the same, for everywhere it tramples upon the inalienable rights of the citizen.

"Tammany can help the democratic party by throwing the Influence of the organization upon the side of honest methods and upon the side of honest platforms which will set forth in clear and unambiguous language the people's side of every issue. Those who employ hypocrisy also resort to trickery to deceive the people; but those who believe in equal rights to all and would deny special privileges to any must rely upon the merits of their cause and make an open and manly appeal to the conscience and intelligence of the people." Ex-Senator D. B. Hill said in his regrets: "The foreign policy of the national administration in relation to the inhabitants of the Philippines is a disgrace to civilization. It repudiates the principles of the Declaration of Independence.

The present republican congress has accomplished little or nothing for the benefit of the people. It has not only failed to do justice to Cuba; but it has also failed to relieve the consumers of the United States. The administration's most advertised measure of diluted 'reciprocity' has already come to grief. The astonishing and strenuous defense of General Wood In regard- to Cuban frauds, contained in the recent hnr- rangue of the perambulating president vi me nicea states on a coneededly non-partisan occasion, has fixed the re-oponsibilitr Sor the crime upon the administrations which it can not now avoid."
