nad letter, written the same day, OH
the same letterhead. only signed by De-
ment, Jr.. saying that if congress at all
lnterfered with the tariff on iute. the
Republican vote IN that district would
be jeopardized. We have had great
difficulty said young Dement,, in hold
ing our employees in line. All are now
Republicans, but | cannot promise for
| the future Burchard and | howled
over it and laughed till we split.
Each locked up his letter, of
! course, and both agreed not to say
anything about it. In two years old
man Dement, died; his jute mill shut
down with salary of $1,000 year from
| the Jute trust to remain idle, and young
| Dement,, Burchard'S correspondent, is
| now secretary of state of Illinois.
"What became of the jute mill?'
"Oh. that burned down after a while,
| to the great relief and infinite delight of
| the jute truSt!'
Quite a group of Western folks were
| herded at the Ebbitt this morning. The
appearance of one of them caused
good deal of interest. A rather short
figure with full but closely cropped
beard, big army hat, SlOuched over his

geSted rather abashed. "but what is the
object of the expedition if may ask?"
''lnJunS.' he said, with never crack
of smile. Just then Col. Pat Donan
came up, having in tow James j. West,
Mr.. Storey's successor on the Chicago
Times. Col. DOMAIN and Col. West had
but partially recovered from wild
lemonade Saturnalia at the residence of
Col. Domains fashionable lady friends
yesterday, when they encountered
the Illinois statesman. Both knew
him. Col. West, like most neOphyteS in
journalism, tackled Hon. Elisha for
points, but the single word 'InjunS''
was ali that could be got out of him.
Later on Mr.: Flames warmed up little,
and seeing his opportunity, the writer
projected remark that there was
feeling in Washington among Western
Democrats, and this idea was
supposed to be endorsed at the
White House, that Julius S. Grinnell
was the only man who could possibly
land Illinois in the Democratic camp.

perity of tone, Yes, John
Oberley has got such crazy. notion
as that, and Eve been up to see him
about it. Now, said to John, and I'll
say it to you, "What is there about
Grinnen that can win trick? What
does he represent? Nothing but the
fear you rich people in the cities who
own shot-tOwer buildings have of dy-
Mantle. How many of you are there?
Now, out in the country what do we
fear with regard to anarchists and all
that? What do you suppose the Illinois
farmer cares about protecting the city
mans twentystOry building? What
does the Minnesota farmer care about
dynamite or bombs? What does the
Iowa man care? What does any farmer
anywhere care, except in mild and
perfunctOry way, about SO-called law
and order as you city people describe
it? What a farmer wants anywhere
is something that interests him. Nom
mate Grinnell for governor of Illinois,
and you would lose every labor vote,
every liberal vote, every crank vote,
every anarchist vote Gf you call it that
and you would not gain single farmer.
What would you gain? The votes of
twenty or thirty Republicans in Chicago
who own ten-stOry buildings, and be-
lleye that Grinnell stands for the theory
that they're not to be blown up! Great
Scott. who wants to blow 'em up?'
Being asked who and what and why.
and what other course he would sug-
gest, Mr.. HalneS repeated that he was
only here after ''Injuns," but that he
had told John Oberley that if he (Haines)
had the pensions and postOfficeS of
country, any poor devil might run its
politics. This remark was so suggestive
that | promptly said, ''Black for vice
president and Steven son for governor,

some little 'Iniun' business" said Mr..
HaineS cautiously, "but that's what |
said to John Oberley."
At this point Col. DOMAIN and Col.

Lake statesman pulled out beautifully

loveliest girl. sir,in Tennessee. Every
body knew that
But; said Judge Haines, Il haven't
any clothes?"

for your head, tie a jute Irvine about
your waist, stick the handle of the dust
brush down your back and go as an
Ogallala chief"
The judge thought moment and said
he would consider the matter.
Come along, SQUIRE said the re-
dOubtable DOMAIN, "More fun in it than
an Iowa corn shuck!"
Col. Pat DOMAIN is more of Il character
in Washington than he ever was any
where else. Nobody knows how he
lives, and so long as he pays his debts,
people are too polite to ask. He goes
everywhere, except to the White house.
The colonel doesn't say so, but he gives
the impression that he regards the
White house as a sort of refuge for
vulgarans. Il never go there" he says,
''any more than do to the houses of the
bonanza kings, so-calied." '!Who are
your bonanza kings?" he asks. "Well,
no matter; you know better than can
tell you" Doran is more furious at
Dakota politicians than anybody else.
