THE DISTRICT TO CHI
CAGO" THE DIS
TkICT AT HOME

The Republjcaa-Post or the
POSt-ReDubLican run alternately
by the Post editor and the Repu6
hcan editor, d,vvted much space
on Thursday morning in trying
to show that a gentleman was d
ruffian because he happened to be
struck 10y ruffian. The double
faced Post has at last eased
itself upon pig and puppy poll
icy. 1t is embarked in no stable
principle The Republican filled
with rheumatic pains, aud con-
sumptive coughs, produced by the
shivering blasts and chilling
rains OF a stern political climate,
limped on crutchts. The fair sun
OF a presidential campaign induced
it TO walk alone. 1t soon stumbled
and fell. 1t had to hitch on to
the tailgate OF the Post Its rela-
lions can easily be discovered in
lis whining tones. What the
COWS tail Is TO the CIV, so is the
Republican to the Post. 1t was
the cow wagging her tail Thurs
day morning and not the cow Us
ing her horns. In oher words
it was the Republican speaking
and not the Post. The BEE W uld
not spend a line in showing that
a gentleman may still be gentle
man even if struck by a ruffian.
Ii may cost the Posi- some effort
TO comprehend this simple prop
osition. 1t is usually perplexed
by the smallest thing. For instance
the POST has tried its best to show
that the REPUBLICAN and Posi-
make one paper. One and one
are one says the POST. About the
District. The people of the Dis
trict are no better nor worse than
the !eople in the PosT's editorial
room. 1t is nothing unusual to
find in city population con-
sisting Of gentlemen aud ruff ans.
This Jekyl-Hyde aspect rather
belongs to a community. We
never knew any law which for
bade ruffian from voting or from
becoming delegate or Indeed
from running a twofaced paper.
Ruffians are found everywhere. |
Prize fighters are found in Con-
gress and murderers On Supreme
Court benches. The thing for
the PosT to do is not to brand |
men as rufians simply because
they attempt to do their whole /
duty in the teeth of rutfianism. |
these fine first class citizens
both black and white are afraid
70 force their recognition. They
hold offices. A lady clerk the
Jther day was afraid to wave her
handkerchief at republican
parade, The true ground upon
which these citizens base their
or neglect of political &C.
ion is fear aud not responsibility.
Malone is "Virginian and a

Emperor Frederick is dead. His
death however may not effect Jim
Jones nor John Smith, and the un-
wary will instantly sneer at any
comment upon the german ruler.
The fact is that in proportion to the
prosperous condition of foreign
governments inversely will be the
influx of foreign nationalities upon
our shores. People come to Amer
lea because it is better country
than their own. If Frederick had
lived, the liberal tendency of the

permanent. Germany still writhes

country at lightning speed. The
telegraph poles flew up until l
became dizzy. l thought I heard
the wild birds shrek and the
moan of the winds above the

exhllaratious of the midnight
ride made the bloc in my veins
tingle. But the night grew dark

with their Iuster paled and ds-

Darker and darker grew the night.

a dream, and after talking to
her for almost an hour the truth
began to dawn upon her senses.

RELIABLE information regarding the
yield of wheat crops in all parts OF
the world is encouraging for the
American producer. There is increas-
ing evidence OF tho bad quality and
light weight of the crops in Western
Europe. A terrific storm ended all
chancs of a decent crop in England,
and that country will import at least
10000, 900 bushels, while the shortage
in France is estimated ut $4,000, 600
bushels. There is also a failure of the
