And now what is to be the effect of
this days work on the public mind?
1t is exceedingly difficult to answer this
question intelligently from this theatre
of action. The atmosphere of Washing
ton is not conducive to the formation of a
clear and accurate judgment as to the
effect of such an occurrence. No one
can witness the proceedings of great
field day 10 the House of Representatives
like this was without catching some of
the excitement which is so contagious.
He is very apt in the place to be car
ried away by his own sympathies or
passions, and, if able, TO resist those two
powerful disquieters of ones nerves, he
is likely to have his head turned by the
comments which he hears from one par
ticular side. / don't know that l have
escaped both of these difficulties, but
have formed an opinion which, l think,
reflects pretty generally the judgment OF
the coolest minds that listened to this
days performance. 1t is my deliberate
judgment that Mr.. Blaine has strength
ened himself with his party, and that if
he is not the nominee of the Cincinnati
convention he will be the Warwick Of
his party, and make its leaders for the
con test Twas Cor. Bait Gazette.

Press that attracted a Nankin far

fact that he would like a refrig-

him with sunny smile. and the
clerks cheerfully barked their
shins against the stoves as they
flew around.
Twill you look at these ice
chests?' asked the proprietor, as
they came to a long row.
"What do | want to keep ice in

was the reply.
"Ice!" gasped the farmer.

you.
The farmer turned without a
word, walked down stairs and
out to his wagon, and was getting
in. when the hardware man hur-
ried up and asked:

The Senate Finance Committt

The Senate Finance Committee
have made areport concerning ale
ged discrepancies in the books and
accounts Of the Treasury depart
ment, in which they commend the
system of safe-keeping of money
in that department, and in regard
to apparent discrepancies point
out the methods of keeping certain
accounts, and the further fact that
the financial reports and debt state
ments at different periods have
been made up according to differ
emit systems of book keeping. The
explanation of these apparent dis
crepancies furnished by the Treas

ny, and no change is recommended
in the existing system.

do now pledge unto all the brave men
who have honorcd, and the fair wo

WILLIAM A. WHEELER.
William A. Wheeler, of New York
the candidate Of the Republican
rarity for Vice-President, was born in
Malone, Franklin County, New York
in 1920. Hc attended tho Universi.
ty of Vermont, but did not graduate.
He was afterwards edmittcd to the
bar, and i'll 1850 and 1851 was sent
as member to the lower branch Of
the State Legislature. In 1857 he
elected State senator, and served two
years. In 1860 he was elected to
Congress i'll which body he has con.
tinued to serve to the present time.
He is the author of the Wheeler
compromise, by which an attempt
was made to reconcile the political
differences in Louisiana, under which
the Legislature rs now constituted
was organized. Mr.. Wheeler is a
man Of high character and respccta-
bic ability.
It will be seen that the candidates
of the Republican party arc men Of
distinction, and noted for the excel
lcncc Of their characters. Publicly
and privately their lives will bear
the closest scrutiny, and the Demo
Gratis will he put to their trunps to
place SO acceptable ticket in the
field. 1t is true that Hayes md
Wheeler will not arouse that cnthus
iasm III the Soutl, which would have
welcomed the nomination Of Blaine or
Mort, II, but they will be elected for
all that. Tildcn and his twenty cents
rcr line practice to the contrary not
withstauding.

Wheeler. That Il large number of
able leaders will be lulcwarm in
their support Of the ticket i'll consc
qucnce, and that the Democrats will,
if they make the proper kind of
nominations, win the coming election.
OF course these predictions will never
be verified; but it is fact, ncverthe
less, that frequently men arc taken
up by n party and pushed forward as
leaders who arc thoroughly incapable
and endowed with no will or executive
ability. The Democrats arc rs
fruitful i'll producing these bunders
as any others. They sometimes set up
a man IA their idol whose superior
could be found perhaps in every
Township. The fault is not with the
Republicans alone. 1t is an evil
inherent in al parties, and moro cspc
cially in those in which clever check
by,jowl men arc scarce. a more
thorough education i'll all the depart
mcnts OF life is the only rem cdy for
the growing mischief"

Floods in the Upper Country.

From reliable information received
we learn that much damage has been
done i'll the upper county, by last
weeks rains; especially to the farm
ing interests. The floods caused by
the rains arc said to exceed those of
1910. In CASTOR County, North
Carolina, the losses arc immense. The
corn and cotton arc covered over with
mud and wafer, while the oats and
wheat which have not yet been cut
arc prostratc on The ground. From
up the North Carolina Railroad come
the same accounts. III Davidson
County, not only are the crops we'll
nigh ruined, buttclcgraph poles have
been actually swept away. Farmers
have been busily engaged wading in
to the bottoms and carrying out their
wheat, and i'll trying 10 replace the
fences which have bccn carried away
The damage throughout both States, is

Charleston Republicans.

It is said that the Republicans 81
Charleston have come together
under the leadership Of Bowen, and
that solid vote will be polIcd this
coming fall for the regular ticket.
Mackcy's strength has all left him,
and the Democrats will not disgrace
themselves by huggcr-mugycring with
him again. His course in Congress
has been weak and uncvcntlul. In
decd, his career has been so obscure
that VIC would have forgotten that
he represented this district if he
had not obtained lis scat through
fraud. IIc does very well for a
coalition alderman, but plays the role
of Congressman in exceedingly bad
style.

contemporary is just now the best
authority in the State OH MI qucs-
tons that have their origin in the

excerpt VIC give explains the rea-
son Of Bristow's withdrawal from the
Treasury department. lie failed to
get the Cincinnati nomination, and
has got rs mad rs kentucky jack
ass.
Here is the extract:
a Washington correspondent, who
interviewed BriStow OH Sunday, says
that the secretary showed an ncerbity
Of manner very different from his
usual polite and genial manner. Hc
was evidently much disturbed, and
showed a scnsltiycncss to questioning
that indicated that he was anything z
but pleased with tic situc ton. He
said it WAS true, as reported, that he
had rcsilncd, and that was all he
knew about it. lie added that it
would take effect next Tucstlay. BE
ing asked if he would be pleased to
give the reasons governing this move
mcnt, he replied that it did not now
concern the public; that they would
care nothing for it, rs he would soon
no longer be public man. IIo gra-
ciously added that if any one was
heard inquiring rs to his reasons, they
might be informed that it was be-
cause lie wanted to. He had moth.
ing moro to give. lie said the news
papers would not tell the truth about
it any way. Being informed that
should he give statement Of facts in
relation thereto that it would be pub
lishcd just rs given, he said: Not so
it would be perverted" Hc added
again: II resign because ] want to;
because my business demands it, and
| ought TO. l would have resigned
long since, but for tho past five
months could not do so without a
political Significance being ut;achcd
to il that it did no.. warrant. He was
tired Of public life. lie was going to
return TO Louisville and practice
law" Saying this, tho amiabIc sec
rciary said he was going 10 dinner,
and so closed the interview. The
friends Of Bristow say that one Of the
reasons for fastening his exit from
the Cabinet is that lie does not want
