A very funny thing happened to friend
of mine the other afternoon. He was pass
Ing through one of the corridors of the war
department with two companions, whom Re
proposed should 20 with him to see the sec
retary. To make a long story short, they
arrived at the secretary's waiting-rOoiL.
where they were met by a square-cut bcs-
tion-rigged sentinel, with a red nose ard
very white hair, and the following cOllOquy
ensued:
Visitor VERY polite and little awed by
the veteran on guar)-l wish to see the sec
retary of war.
Veteran with dignity You can't see the
secretary. sir.
yisitor-Could you not take him my
card?
Veteran-NO, sir; ii is after hours; the
secretary is busy and doesn't want 10 see
anybody.
Visitor persistent but polite)-Could
you not take my card in and let him be the
judge of that?
Veterar-Do yos know the secretary?
Visito--Why, yes. a little, and have an
impression that he will be glad to see me.
Veteran slightly Modified Have you any
business with him?
VisitOr-None i'm the world. except to pay
my respects and present these gentlemen
Veteran on the ramrOd again)-Oh, YOU
want to take these men in with you, do you?
Visitor, growing q little inpatient
Why. yes, thought should like to do So

secretary-you are sure to know him, sir?

He took the pastcbOard and waddled of
with it, In a minute or two there was a
sound as of dummy engine driving up
grade. The door was flung open and the
veteran with the snowy topknot and the red
protuberance fairly shouted: 1.-The secreta-
ry doesn't know ypu-never heard Of you
and doesn't want to see YOU, How dare yoI
come here in pretending to know the secre-
tary? You know the secretary! It's very
amusing to you, suppose-very anus ny

his temper, and said: ''Will you have the

This is the true way to reform our Amsri-
can politics. Make the men who enter pub
Lie life feel that their characters are on exhi-
bition there, and that the revelations they
there make of themselves they will be rig
orously Judged by in private life. The only
method Of removing the reproach from
politics and making it DIT for the best and
purest men Of the state and the nation to 30
into, is TO boycott the men who now set
themselves up for our Honorables. but who
ought not to be held honest enough for self

or business intercourse. Boycott them, and
thus elevate and purify all departments of
the government.

Boycott That Man.

Our code of morals must reach farther
than it does. If this republic is to be saved
from the dogs. 1t must spread over
politics. There must not be one rule of
respectability for a gentleman and another
for q politician. A man must not be per
mitted to De dirty and despicable scoun-
drel in his political character and be recog-
nized o. an honorable man in society and
an honest man in business.
A man can not divide his character In
that way; and the public which SO divides
his reputation is a demoralized public. The
man who has no conscience in dealing pO-
litically with the rights and interests Of his
felIowcitizens is man to be stunned in all
relations of life. His conscience is not
genuine: ii is veneered. Whatever the
professions or appearances. he is fraud
Boycott him.
The man who puts his money into pri-
maries to buy his nomination TO an Office,
who purchases the salable electioneerers to
knowingly pays for votes in person or by
his hired agents. is conscienceless rogue,
and should be kicked ont of decent social
circles and mistrusted in trade Boycott
him.
The man who. forpersonal or partisan sue
cess, approves of schemes for deceiving,
defrauding. or terroriZing the voter, OF wit
nesses such schemes in operation and con-
nives at them, is a rascal at heart. and
should be so estimated by all respectable
men and women. Boycott him.
The man who assists in or lends counte-
nance to false registry, repeating. ballot
stufing, destruction of votes, alteration of
returns, ought TO be in the penitentiary with
those who commit such crimes. and should
be frowned upon by all people who are good
enough to be out of the penitentiary Boy
colt that man.
The man who. as Judge of election. Judge
of returns. or Judge of court, fails to assert
the rights of the people against such patent
fraud and forgery, whether from motives Of
individual or party profit or from political
bias, or from cowardice in the presence Of
ridiculous technicalities and moss-grown
precedents, is q man who should have no
standing in private life that he could brag of.
Boycott him.
But the man who knows that he has not
received the votes Of a majority of the peo-
ole, who knows that his certificate to Office Is
basod on open fraud and admitted forgery, !

The Brown resolution seems to have been

which the supreme court adjudged sufficient

Costly monuments are relics Of old mate

When Hon. Louis f. McComas
spoke here he wore plain suit of
clothes, and a black, low crowned
hat. There was no display ofjpweIry,
more than a plain little watch chain
scarcely visible, and in his usual un.
asuminS manner he took the stand,
and after prolonged applause began
to speak. reviewing his record in
Congress, and when he reached the
tariff question all bent forward, eager
to catch every word. Then Little
MIC" spread himself. At times the
people fairly rose to their feet. Space
will not permit a more detailed ac-
count Of his speech besides, we could
not do it justice. He must be seen
and head to be rightly appreciated.
1t will be remembered that this was
great butter country before cleo.
margarine destroyed our market, and
when he told them how he had work.
ed to secure the passage of the oleO-
margarine bill our old butter-makers
could not contain themselves. When
he closed his speech they fairly
lifted him from the floor and assured
him that they would send him back
TO the halls of Congress. There is no
question hut he made great many
new votes here, besides holding all
of his own. The people were de.
lighted with him, and his speech had
the effect of rally his friends and
bringing them closer together than
ever before. There are no discussions
or chickering's in our ranks at all, and
on the I'd of November we will mar
tial our hosts and march our solid
columns of McComas veterans to the
polls and secure = complete victory.
We organized McCOmas club here
Saturday evening, enrolling thirty
members, among them being several
Democrats, who declared that they
would stick to the old flag every
time. We propose to go to New Ger
many, the Forks and every school
district in old No. 3 and organize
clubs. In this way we can get out
the full vote and elect our candidate
in spite of the "boodle." We sug-
/ gest that every district within the
county adopt similar plan.

spoke came Col. l.. Victor Baugh,

than the man. The band led the
