Some Scathing Comments in the Recent Elections. ANENT C?KTLEYOU. Tho New York Pres? Contrants His Treatment by President Rossevelt With the Defeat of Congress man Babcock bv the Peo ple of His District. It ought not, says the New York Press, to bo necessary to URO a steam drill to drive Into the hoads of Re publ'ORus the lesson taught by tho defeat of Representative Baboook in Wisconsin. The Press thoro goes on to say: In a district which ls normally Re publican by several thousands of votes, and willoh gives a handsome plurality to the victorious, Republi can oandldate for Govornor Babcock has been beaten for ro election. And this despite the fact that he was chairman of the Congress campaign committee, a powerful membor of thc system in the House, and could com mand resources not available to t ho ordinary Congress candidato. B&boook was beaton beoause bo W&H in partnership with tho lifo insurauoo grafters. He took ?2,600 from ?the despollers of the widows' and orphans' v fund and spent lt to maintain that part of the Congress machine over which he was in comroand lu 1004. The faot was widely published in the Armstrong oommitteo testimony. It ?vas familiar to tho voters in Bab cock's district, and it overshadowed questions of tariff and trusts and tho like. Nothing counted much In tho campaign but tho inoident of Baboook taking (2,600 from McOurdy to finance the political maohinoof which he was tho engineer. Tho voters of the 3d Wisoousin district decided that a man who would tafeo money which he knew he had no right to take was not fit to look after thoir interests or those of tho country, and they havo returned Baboook to private lifo. Now, does not tho fate of Repre sentatlvo Baboook suggest largor possibilities of danger to National Republicanism? Consider the oase of Cortelyou. It is like Baboook'n only worse. All the yellow dog funds contri buted large suma to Cortelyou, and he fattened the funds of tho National Republioan committee with them. Babcock took cents where Cortelyou took dollars. But tho aotions of the two men wero identical in that each aooepted moneys willoh did not bo long to tho gi vers, lu that each know the contributions did not bolong to those who made thom, in that each oonoealed the gifts as carefully as tho evldenoo of anv felony, and in that both Cortelyou and Baboook spent the money in the further de bauchery of Amerioan politics. The similarity in tho offences bf tho chairman of the National Rcpub Hean committee and the chairman of tho Republican Congress campaign committee stops thoro. It ls when we oome to tho treatment of tho two men that the big difference occurs. Representativo Baboook, not being a member of tho Cabinet, but being in oharge of tho Congress oampalgn oommitteo, and not daring to faoo a canvass of tho country in behalf of a Republioan House with tho $2,500 steal staring the voters in the faoo, be ia retired from tho chairmanship. Then when ho goes baok to bia dis trict for a "vindication" tho hobnails of public opinion are applied vigor ously where they will do the most good. No vory high standard of morals 1B required ordinarily for membership in the House, as 1B prov ed by tho faot that Baboook oould go there after ho had been oaught stuffing tho malls with franked postal matter during railroad weighing time, and as demonstrated by tho presenoo in Congres? for a long time of some men who belonged in Jail anl have since either boon started in that direotion or are already in prison. But tho 3d Wisoousin district drew the lino at being rr presen ted by a . man who helped MoCurdy to skin the policy-holders of tho Mutual. How Cortelyou was treated for do ling on a larger soalo what Baboook did was advertised to tho oountry, and particularly to tho State of Now York, a few days before tho balloting, whioh eleoted to tho Governorship the man moBt instrumental in ex posing the partnership of Cortelyou and Baboook with tho dispensers of Yellow Dog funds. For his share In the dirty business Babcock la wip ed off tho map of the system at Washington. For hit? part in tho plunder Cortelyou is not retired from h ta position as Postmaster Goneral, but is raised of all things to tho ohair of Alexander Hamil con. Tho man who would spend in a oladestlno man ner trust funds belonging to mom bers of ono political party to promote tho fortunes ot another political party ls not punlBhod but rowarded. And to aggravate tho outrage tho rowan' to him for his failure to observo com mon honesty in tho handling of other people's money is his promotion to the post whero bo lu In oharge of tho funds of tho whole nation 1 Suoh ia the difforenoo botwoen the treatment of Babcock by tho votora ot nia homo district and tho treat ment of Cortolyou by President Roosevelt, although tho offonoo com? mitteod by the two mon di Hared only in degree, and to that oxtent the wrong done by tho Cabinet oilleor is greater than the blooding of tho Re presentativo. The Amerioan people havo longed lookod upon thc " vindication" of Paul Morton from tho self-confessed oharge of oriralnal rebating as tho topmost point of absurdity reaohod in American administrative Govern ment. This height of folly is scaled by the promotion of Secretary Cona) you to tho Treasury, and tho fact is all tho more emphasized bv tho beat ing the voters have given to Cortol you's confederate in the 3d Wisconsin district. fc'Atftl Fight.

At New York William H Bloom, manager of the Ohio Brass company's works In Mansfield, Ohio, struck a I mine of pearls In an oyster in the Oafe Savarin Thursday. Mr. Bloom ls slaying In th? Hotel Breslin. Thursday he went down town and dropped into the Savarin for a bite to eat. Mr Bloom thought he would like some raw oysters. So the man oponed him half a dozen. With four of theBe oysters this story has nothing to do, The fifth oystor was the one that oonoealod seven beautiful pearls valued at ?500. If he swallowed them whole, Mr. Bloom would have returned to his nappy Ohio home ignorant forever, perhaps, of how much he was worth himselfj inside. But in Mansiiold they ohow their oysters. As Mr. Bloom blt into tho fifth cy fi tor he felt something round betweon his teeth. Thoy have fallen to properly mani? cure those oystero" he said, and ejao ted the gritty otjeot from his mouth. It was a luscious pearl. lu quiok auoocssion ho produoed six more pearl?. "I presume that when you serve oysters on the half sholl all that COCUOB in the shell belongs to the gucBt?" in quired Mr. Bloom, of Walter Qustav. Gustav admlttod that such was the tulo. "W'.'ll, you should havo some re ward," said Mr. Bloom as he pickod up ono of tho pearls. ''I shall leavo you the remaining oyster." And ho wrapped up all tho pearls and told Gustav to thank Mr. Savar in for bim on account of Mr. Savarin's kindness and gonorosity and went away. BROODING OV.RR L03S.

Now Kxtii?ot, Tho greatest of all tragodloa in the feathorod kingdom was tne sudden extinction, the magical disappearance, of tho once counties} hosts of passen gor pigeons. The question as to what bcoame of them and why they went has beoomo ono of the most puz/.llng problems of ornithology. Those old enough to romombor these beautiful hirds have uever ceased to regret their unaccountable extermination. Ono day as numerous as the sandi; of the seashore and Hying in myriads that darkened the sky for hours at a timo, next day they have disappeared as oomplotely as if never in existence so completely that a large reward cflor cd for a pair still remains unolaimed. A oelebratod American ornithologist estimated that a Hook he saw early in the last century numbored largely over tv:o thousand two hundred and thirty millions, and they would consumo sev enteen million four hundred and twen ty-four thousand bushels of mast every dayl These aro tremendous UR urea but many of our older rt.1 Jors, r mem herlng Hocks seen in their boyhood, will readily believe them to be true. As late as the sixties lt was no un common thing to see in Kentucky, In diana and Michigan, Hooks that dark ened the sky In every direotlon as far as tho eye could roaoh and they would be passing for hours at a time. It) has been over thirty-three years since any considerable number of these birds wore seen south of. thc great lakes though an extensivo nest ing was reported from tho rogin of Petoskev aa late as 1881. T gh hundreds of men were engaged .. tot ting thom and oaptured fully 10,, io, OOO, lt was estimated that not ono bird in a thousand was taken. An eye witness declares that this nesting hov ered an aroa twenty-eight miles long and fully four miles wide while ewy treo of any size oyor this extend vc spaoe had moro or leos neats and many were full of them. This, however, seems to have been thc last of the passenger pigeon lu numbers. Soon thereafter lie disap peared as suddenly as the Virginia sora after a frost as oomplotoly as tho great auk of tho southern scaB. What beoamo of thom still remains and doubtless always will remain one of tho unsolved mysteries of science, lt was at first thought that they at tempted to cross tho ocean, but un equal to tho long Hight foll and were swallowed by the waves. A moro prob able oonoluslon is that In the destruc tion of the forests, whioh deprived thom of their natural food, aided by tho relentless persecution of main lu ovory looality, wo may lind tho real explanation of this delorable tragedy In tho kingdom of the birds.

Tho Wreckage Took Pire and All of the Dead Except Two Are Burned Be yond Recognition. Blunder of the Employes of the Road. More than one-half the passengers j on an immigrant train on tho Balti more and Ohio road were killed orl injured lu a collision Tuesday' between the passenger train and a freight near Woodville, Ind. One hundred and slxlv-llvo passen gers were on tho train. Of these 47 wero either killed outright or were burned to death in a lire that broke out In tiic wreckage Immediately af ter the collision, rho names of all of tire dead will probably never be known, as 45 of tbc bodies were con sumed in thc Hames or were so badly burned that identification will be out of the question. Thirty-eight people were injured and several will die. Eigty others escaped unhurt but lost all their baggage and clothing, The disaster was caused by a blund er of some employe of the railroad company, but just where the blame lies has uot as yet been determined. The passenger train, which was load ed with Russian Jews, Servian and Roles, all of the recent arrivals in this j country, and hound for Chicago or points in the Northwest, was the second section of a through train from Baltimore. The engineer of tho freight train, No. noon instructions received at McCool, Ind., waited at1 a siding at Babcock, Ind , to allow the Immigrant train to pass. One report is that the engineer of the freight train had not heen In formed that the passenger train was running in two sections; thc other is that the first section of the passenger tram carried no lighis or signals ot' any kind indicating that a second sec tion was close behind. As soon as thc lirst section of the immigrant train had passed the switch at Babcock, the freight train started eastward.A I'ght snow was falling, which increased thc darkness of the early morning and as the freight was rounding a sharp curve just west of Woodville, the second section of the i m migrant train caine into sight a short distance away, tearing toward Chicago at thc rate of 40 miles an hour. The two trains came together with unslakcning speed and in l he crash six passenger coaches and several freight cars were knocked into kindling wood and together with tin; locomotives went rolling down the 10-foot embankment. I'M rc broke out almost immediately in the wreckage, and although a num ber of the injured were saved by thc desperate efforts of the train crew and surviving passengers, the greater part ol' those wno were pinned down under the debris was burned to death. The Hames spread through the wreckage so rapidly that it was im possible to save a number of people who were only slightly hurt, but were held fast by timbers that weighted them down. These were burned In plain sight of the throng that stood around the scene of thc disaster, ut terly unable to lend asissstance in any way. The tire continued until all of t he shattered oars wore eut hely con sumed and of thc 47 people whose death followed the collision 45 were burned to ashes. Thc crash of thc collision was sol great- that a number of farmers and other residents of Hie nolgborhood came hastening to the scene, hut they could do nothing except lend assis tance to the injured who had already been taken from the wreck. All of the six cars of the Immigrant train were knocked Into kindling wood, as were three freight cars. belief trains were sent at once from South Chicago and from Valparaiso, Ind., with every aval labe physiesan, and every possible aid was given to the injured.

She was taken into the house in a dangerous oondiliou, and there is some question as to her recovery. Mrs. Camp is about 35 yoars old and has several ohildren. Tho Camp homo stands about a quarter of a mile away from tho nearest neighbor, and she was praotloally unprotected, The county polioe and tho marshal of Oakland Olty wore notified of tho orime and at once instituted a soaroh.

Tate, replying to a quotation from tho New York Herald to tho effoot that as cotton can bc growu at live oent per pound, it is unreasonable for the produoor to ox peot moro than ton cents for it. Mr. Tato successfully ridloulcs the prop esition that ootton oan be grown at live cents a pound and shows that ton oents is too low for the produoor to make tho reasonable margin of pro fit to whioh ho is entitled. It is a very simple matter ror a i nowspaper a thousand miles away from tho Holds to tell tho cotton pro duoor what it costs por pound to raise ootton, but when roducod to its last aualysls advice from the neighbor hood of Wall street is of no more valuo to tue average cotton farmer than would be tho opinion of the averago ootton produoor to a Now York speoulator who might bo seek ing evidence as to the latest move ments of the Parlslon bourse.

Tho cotton grower ls Just as much mtltlod to a reasonable return on his iff ort, ids energy, his time and his uvostment as tho Wall street broker s entitled to his profit.
