THE CAMPAIGN /.
Dotngs of Republicans and the Ex-
celieng Chances or the Democrats

Dotngs of Republicans and the EN.
celIent Chances or the Democrats.
The Chicago Herald. in making sum-
mary of the state as regards congressional
candidates, says, speaking of the policy
adopted by the democrats:
That the policy is effective is shown BY
the anxiety of the republican managers
for Joe Cannon. George Smith, Gest, Hit
and Payson. IL was this policy that
forced them to send for Tom Reed who
is going to make a speech for BILLY"
Mason. one for Hit. one for Gest and one
for Cannon. The latter is evidently
worse off than his congressional col
leagues, and the state committee is pre-
pairing to carry his district by fair means
or foul. Money will be furnished with
which 10 convince the doubling ones, and
every republican congressman in the
state, except Alb Taylor, has enter
ed into solemn compact to 90 into
Cannons district and say a good word
for him. Alb Taylor is not much of an
orator. and perhaps he would just as soon
see Cannon defeated. so as to remove one
senatorial possibility. Cannon retired
from congress would not cut much figure
In the senatorial caucus next winter Can
non reelected by an old-time majority,
he might be able to prevent Farwell sue
ceeding himself. BILLY" Mason's spirit
was willing TO assist Cannon but his
flesh was weak. He is fond of speech
making and has a senatorial bee buzzine
in his silk tie. He would j.st as soon be
Shelby Cullom's colleague as not, end
Cannon's good will was not to be
sneezed at. This is somewhat selfish
way of reasoning. but Mason may have
enough to do to carry his own district.
In his speech of Thursday night he
tat'ered himself that his constituents
would fall into line and enable him ITO
go and help those who need help more
than do" The audience did not agree
with him, though, and it is becoming
more than ever apparent that the old
soldiers and best citizens of the Third
district are going TO support Durborow.
Many OF these old soldiers thought all
they hsd TO do was to write to Mason,
who was "comrade," and he would new
er rest until he attended to their requests
Instead of that, however, they had to fall
back on Frank Lawler. as Mason was too
busy trying to give the government pier
to the Illinois Central. trying to kill the
lard bill and making speeches 10 Maine to
do anything for those who elected him.

Senator Hearst.

Washington Correspondence b eago Herald.
where did Hearst come irom?"
said /.
He was born in Missouri" replied
Congressman Clunie. His folks
lived near st Louis and were well to-
do. Hearst began life by keeping
store, but his health was poor and
his business did not pay. He con-
Guided to 90 West. He sold out his
store for IA promissory note OF $1,000.
This, in addition to his expenses, was
the sum of his possessions when he
started for California. 1t turned out
to be worth only the paper Oh which
it is written, and Senator Hearst still
keeps it as an autOgraphic curiO. He
went from Missouri to California,
bought pick and began at once for
himself. He was lucky from the first,
and soon accumulated IL bag of gold
representing at least $500 900. This
gold was made up of dust, Stag and
goOd-siZed nuggets, including some
as big as your fist. He took it to San
Francisco and deposited it with a
banker named Lent. A few days
later Lent's bank broke, and Hearst
found himself poorer than when he
came to California. He had scarcely
the money to buy him a new pick,
but he borrowed enough to put him
self on his feet, and good fortune staid
with him. He kept on making money,
and he has at times owned mines and
mills on the Pacific cost which gave
employment to 300 men and crushed
1000 tons of ore every day. He is still
interested in mining, and he has
farms containing some of the finest
blooded stock in the West. One of
his farms has 40, 900 acres. He is the
owner of the San Francisco Examiner,
and he has one of the fastest horses
in the country.

MERCY For the Wrong. .Perso.e.

They have decidedly queer way OF
doing things at Minnesota Lake. For
instance, their village treasurer runs
away with the funds, takes a young wo-
man with him and leaves wife. The
authorities offer $500 reward for their
late treasurer's capture. After due time
he is run down at Kansas City and
brought back by an officer Of the law.
Now the village takes all the property
he owns in settlement of the defal cation;
he marries the young woman and turns
the poor wife adrift; the village fathers
cheerfully draw an order Of $500 to pay
for his capture and so to speak kill a
fatted calf and engage in public Prod
igal Sons act over the wanderers re-
turn. Mercy is a fine thing to show,
but it strikes us that in this case the
deserted wife was entitled to it and not
the Week-kneed rascal and his brassy
companion who wrecked an honest
woman's life -WINNEBAGo CITY News.

At the municipal elections in Kan

women vote, not only for school cffi-

officials generally. So much has been
said by the woman suffragists about the
conscientuousness and fidelity to public
duty. which women will always dis
play with the ballot in their hands,
that this largs abssention in Kansas

women value the ballot much after they
