WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 4. rs
1t is human nature to look
ahead, and political human nature
is no exception. Politicians are
already looking sharply ahead to
the next Presidency, which will
undoubtedly be III Democrat hands.
This is what We clip from a promi-
nent Republican Journal concern
ing certain leading men in the o.
posite party: at begins to log
as if Senator Thurman, Of Ohio,
was the coming Democrat and likely
to receive the Presidential nomi-
nation of that party two years
hence. Tbden is out of the ques-
ton, Hendricks is distasteful to
the Eastern Democracy, and there
is an undercllrrent of deadly hos
tility between him and Tllden,
which makes it safe to predict
that they will knife each other In
the next Convention. Thurman is
an ADLER man than either, has "a
good record, and stands in good
position to command Eastern as
well us Western and Southern
support. He is making a solid
reputation IN the Senate, where he
is the recognized leader of the De-
mocracy now, and he will con-
tinue to be after March 4th, when
the party will have a majority in /
that body. He is one of the best, !
If not the best. lawyers in the

Treating.

What sense is there in asking
a crowd of loafers to "Come up and
take drink" every time you feel
like putting an enemy into your
belly to steal away your brains ? ="
Aside from the foolish squandering
OF Your own money, you will very
often cause misery to others. If
you will drink don't drag others
to hell with you. "This absurd Gus
tom of treating anybody and every
body is of Irish origin. The eff
fervescent sou of Erin is guilty
of Introducing it to America, and
the initiative American is res,,on-
slble for nursing it. There NAV.
be something attractive about Irish
hospitality, but no level-headed
man can praise their insane custom
OF calling all the world up to take
q drink. Only in Erin and the
United States is such foolish Gus
tom possible
