TALK ACROSS THE COUNTRY.


Bob Eufdttfe, IN Euriligfou HaNkeyc.l
II Is really pleasant to note as you
travel across the continent from Maine
| 10 Colorado, how the topic Of conversa-
| tion changes at State lines. just as the
depression Of faces and styles Of clothes
lgradually undergo an alteration. Down
in Maine, when j got away from the
coast, heard lumber and 1.-THE woods "
| or the man who talked 10 YOU had just
come out Of the woods. Then you 90
10 the coast, and everybody fished. and
you dreamed of dorys, and hakc and
haddock, and things ihatyo never heard
OF before. When you 60 TO Bath you be-
lgin TO pick up all manner Of ship car
pentcrs' slang. Then you come near 4
New York, and commercial travellers
| filed the air with mercantile argot, and
as you held your way westward YOU get
| into the oil regions Of Pennsylvania and
| for while Bradford and Oil City,
Franklin and TitusviIles talked bull
wheel, and pipelines. and dry holes, and
heavy oils, and refinery, and tank, and
drill, and rigs, and walking-beam, and
derrick, and pump, until you could taste
oil every time you talked. Then you
moved along through Johnstown and
Pittsburgh, and heard about blasts, and
open hearth furnaces, and cruciblcs, and
Besscmer process, and rails, wire and in
got, until you left them behind and In
diana was talking TO you about slaves
and heads and hoop-poles and venecrs,
and hard woods, and quinine, and bent
wood and wagon timber; and by and by
Illinois has your ear and said "c-o-r-n,'
|and you got across the Mississippi and
heard man say to a ncighbor. Ben,
where is that timber claim Of Johnson's
and you heard Ben reply, briefly, IL,
Is. o." and you knew that you were in a
country of land, and that eighties and
quarter-sections, and timber claims, and
|homestcads, and pre-emptions were TO
constitute your constitutional pabulum
for the next two or three weeks, until
you reached Colorado and began to hear
assay, and dips. and lead, angles, spurs.
land sinuosities, and claims, and carbo-
mates. and this il as far west as ! have
been, and don't know what they talk
about beyond there.

Lawyer Wilson, Of indianapolis says
II am for the ex-President for King. or
for that matter, am for his son. Fred.
following, so long as there Is any danger
OF the Democracy ruling"
Lawyer Wilson belongs to class who
don't mix much with the people. or he
would not be guilty Of such crazy utter
ances. Not one Republican in fifty will
sanction bis effort for imperialism in this
country. Republicans should not be
judged BY him. l,ut while this is Tire
case. no patriot should close his eyes to
the danger existing to our free institu-
tions. when such utteranccs are made
in public speeches with inpunity.
and pass unrebukcd from the hear
rrs, and when the man favored
for first King is having an extensive can
vass made in his favor for violation OF
the unwrittcn law OF the fathers Of the
Republic against third Presidential
term, and has friends enough to secure
the nomination himself, or dictate TO the
Republican National Convention who
their nominee shall be.

One Of the most noted Of circus clowns.
Mr.. James Cooke, a man who had made
people in England aud America roar over
his quibs and jokes, died in New York
city last week. He had been the delight
Of the ring for years. His merry words
and acts made him q host OF friends and
admirers. To children and to old peo-
pie he was greater man than any states
man or scholar. But death came 10 him
as il comes 10 all men. The jovial mon
arch OF the saw dust ring passed out OF
life. The lips that for years had parted
only for the uttcrance OF humor were
silent. The nimble form. which had been
so gay In its grotesque tights. was
stretched in his coffin gaunt and rigid.
But where? In a stable. An old horse
blanket was pail. Boxes and barrels
surrounded the dead man. Rats ran
hither and thithcr through the oats and
corn. Horses stamped in their stalls
only few feet away. The stable-mcn
whistled lively tunes. The sounds were
such as the man, when alive, loved 10
hear. Now they were horrible. A king
Jester ready for the grave was only re-
fuse. The crowds that had chcercd him
for more than quarter Of century had
forgotten him. The fame he had won
was nothing II did not even secure him
"a decent room from which TO have
his body carried to the tomb. lie had
lived too long. lie should have died in
the ring; then he would have had i'm
mortclIes, procession, remembrance.
