The newer west, if it can have no in
terror water traffic, will nevertheless
have-indeed already has-a COM
mercial position of vast importance.
Years since a great Russian publicist,
Alexander Herven, wrote of the Pacific
ocean rs destined to be the New Worlds
Mediterranean 1t was pointed that
nearly one-hah of the globes inhabi-
tants were on the Asian side thereof,
and were therefore its commercial trib-
utaries. The American shores of the
Pacific are to be first considered in all
forecasts of commercial progress and
power. The people who are making
Puget sound alive with their activities
are surely bound to grasp the traffic of
the North Pacific. The men of the
Oregon and California coast are not
likely to be limited in their industrial
ambitions. One of their ''captains''
holds the Sandwich Islands In his
hands, and Samoa will yet, despite the
triple protectorate, fall easily under
American control-not necessarily gov
e%rnnental, however.
No matter what action British or
Canadian statesmen may take, and
however vast the sums they expend, it
will o o be seen in our national coun-
ellis that the newer west will demand,
and that its growing business activity
will compel, the absorption not only of
the whole coast from Washington to
Alaska, but of at least the northwest
ern portion of the Dominion. British
Columbia and all the rest east of Win
nipeg will ere long be looking toward a
continental union. The same law of
physical unity which has been consid-
cred a. Immediately affecting the
newer west and its internal polity must
control in the extension of our republic
to the northwest. The p%eninsular of
Lower California will finally follow the
same directive impulse. Col. Richard

Although the McGinty song has be-
come a chestnut the publishers say tsiat
over $50, 900 copies have been sold.
The song has served both author and
publishers well. Flynn, who wrote the
song, is a variety comedian. At the
time the song was written he and his
partner, Sheridan, were earning $50 a
week. When the musical news arrived
that McGinty had gone to the bottom
of the sea the salary of the comedians
rose to 5000 a week. The publishers,
too came in for a material share of the
profits.
AT the time the song was published
these two young Germans were drag
gingout a precarious existence in Brook
Ign trying to sell pianos on the Install
ment plan and dealing in cheap music.
Their store was poorly furnished, and
the money taken in every day was con
sumed each night in the attempt to pay
current expenses. Along came Flynn
with his manuscript of McGinty. 1t
swept the town Orders came in from
orchestra leaders for orchestral arrange
ments. The press was kept busy night
and day to supply the demand. The
young Germans smiled. They painted

VICTORY WITHIN REACH.

In this free country no man should
deny his neighbor the privilege of chang
ing his opinions, whether those opi Mons
have been life long or subject to the po-
litical fluctuations which rave character
lied the career OF some people whom we
might mention. While no man may
deny his ~neighbor the right to change his
religion or his politics, it Is his privilege
to put two and two together and come to
his own conclusion as TO the reason which
operated in Influencing the change. In
trinsically the withdrawal of Mr.. j.. &.
to very little. 1t will be given exagger-
ated importance for the possible political
effect it may have IN the remote districts
OF the state where Mr.. Baird is perhaps
not to well known as he is here. If there
have been any Democrats in Cheyenne
who have torn their hair out by the roots
IN an agony OF regret that Mr.. Baird has
left the party we have failed to hear of
them. Neither, on the other hand, have
we heard of any Republicans shrieking
through the streets for joy be-
cause there had been another ac-
cession to the ranks. So far as
the Democrats are concerned there is a
feeling of universal relief. If Mr.. Baird
saw fit to sign the call for the formation
Of a Democratic club and in less than a
week later writes a letter formally with
drawing from the party it is perhaps his
concern and not the public's, but he may
thus gain a reputation for versatility
without at the same time imprcssing
thinking people very strongly with the
stability of his political convictions.
There will be no stampedes from the
ranks of the Democratic party this year.
As the party settles down to the work Of
the campaign there may be some people
who were always among the ~stragglers in
the great Democratic army who may be
lost in the shuttle. The party can afford
to lose them. None but the true blue
are wanted and mono but the true blue
should receive consideration. IL has
been the curse of the party locally in the
past to be too conciliatory it its methods,
The managers Of the opposition haYe
been INSCRIPTIONS and unconscionable.
They have hesitatsd at nothing to carry
their point. and their whole history reeks
with corruption, fraud and oppression.
In the contest now at hand the Demo-
cratic party voices the sentiment of the
people. There is an intense under-cur-
rem OF feeling against the debasing in
iuence Of one man power, of machine
methods and chicanery that is monumen-
tai in its filgrancy. Desperate diseases
require desperate remedies. The methods
of the past can no longer be the methods
Of today. If the Democratic party is
true to itself and true to its principles it
can crystalline itself in an organization,
backed by the faith and confidence of the
people, and absolutely sweep the board.

When the British occupied Philadel-
phia during the Revolutionary war
with an army numbering nearly 90, 600
men, there was a bitter ennity between
the British drummer boys and the boys
OF the city. What aggravated this
feud was the fact that there were sew
eral conspicuous Tory families in the
place, the boys of which made common
cause with the English drummers. Be
sides this there were numbers of cabin
boys from the great English fleet of
transports and merchant vessels in the
river who often came on shore and
gave aid and comfort to their drum
ming friends.
As a great many of the patriotic fam
lilies were absent, and as Quaker boys
are not allowed to fight, there was
something like an equality of numbers
between the two parties The fights
between them were Of almost daily oc-
currence. The town boys had their
headquarters in an old brewery a little
way out of the city, the entrances and
approaches to which they fortified az
strongly as they could.
In those fighting days scarcely any
N had any serious objection to the
flercest conflicts between boys, provided
they fought only with the weapons that
nature had given them and conformed
to the rules of the ring. But one day
an English drummer boy was so badly
hurt in an encounter between the Amer
lean boys and those adhering to the
king that he died soon after. This led
to the suppression of the fights by the
provost marshal. Youths Companion.

Strangers should be wary of the init

In order to guard against results utterly

the bile is INSTRUCTED into the blood; the
liver becomes torpid; viscid bilious mat
ter gets into the stomach and produces
indigestion; headaches ensue and other
symptoms are produced, while a prolonga-
ton of the exciting cause only tends to
aggravate, The aperient properties OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters constitute a
most useful agent in overcoming constric-
ton of the bowels AID promoting a regu-
lar habit ofthat body. 1t is infinitely su-
perior to the drastic cathartics frequently
used for the purpose, since it does not,
like them, act violently, but produces a
natural, painless effect, which does not
impair the tone of the %evacuatory organs,
which it invigorates instead of weakening.
The stomach and liver also. indeed the
entire system, is strengthened and regu-

1t isn't every man, or woman either,
for that matter, who can get from $3.50
to $3.50 for a poem. VIII Carleton is
one of these. | see him often in Brook
Ign, where he lives on Greene avenue,
and he is as much unlike a poet in ap-
pearance rs one could imagine. In
years he is getting well along toward
the tifties. His hair seems to be prema-
turely gray. He . about medium
height, n his figure is stout and TO
bust, which leads to the belief that he
is something of an athlete. He carries
himself with a soldierly bearing. His
head is well shaped and is poised grace
fully on a pair of broad shoulders. His
face is clean shaver, except for a small
gray mustache. In fact he has a jaunty
air. lie seems to have none of the no
tons about dress and mannerisms that
poets are usually supposed to have.
MI. Carleton is a busy man. His
work is always in demand, and orders
for his poems increase so rapidly that
he is enabled to charge the figures i
have quoted above. He lives in a plain
old fashioned house of brownstone,
similar in all respects to hundreds of
Others in his immediate vicinity. His
library and workshop is a curious place.
There is row upon row of books, no
end of pictures, and desks and tables
Uttered with all sorts of papers, maya
zines and writing utensils. He has no
particular hour for work.
He gets up tolerably early, and after
breakfast goes at once to his desk,
where he remains busily at work until
midday. His afternoons he devotes to
visiting his publishers, walking, writ
ing, driving or visiting. He knows the
value of good health, and spends a fair
share of his time in making Drawn.
In addition to his literary work Mr..
Carleton is well known on the lecture
platform. He is a thorough Yankee in
the matter of money, and is one of the
most practical business men hat you
will find. And thus it comes that his
bank account is large and is constant
ly being added to.-New York Press.

Senator Hoar Unites with Senator Ora,
I'm Communication.


From the report of Fridays debate on
the Force bill, as printed in the Con-
gressiOndJ Record, is taken the following
complimentary reference to the worth
of Judge Wales. Mr.. Gray had just
referred to that clause of the Force bill
which contenplates the appointment of
supervisors by the circuit judge person
ally, save where, from any cause, he
may be temporarily unable" to do so.
The debate proceeded
Mr.. Gray-Although it is not pertinent,
feel that is necessary for me to say on
my own account that in my section of the
country, AT least in my State, we not only
have no distrLst or other disrespcctful
feelings toward our district Judge, but we
have the highest respect for and confidence
in him.
Mr. Hoar.-Mr. President
Mr. Gray--I understand that ii will not
apply every where; am only speaking for
my own State
Mr. Hoar-If the senator will allow me
Mr.. Gray-Bnt | thought il due to the
eminent and very worthy gentleman who
occupies that position to say so.
Mr.. Hoar.-I did not in the least refer to
the senator's state, but it is well known
that there have been on this floor and on
the floor of the other house in former Com
crosses very earnest and impassioned at
lacks upon some of the district Judges.
some Of them were appointed at the time
of which the senator has spoken, during
the war or shortly afterwards, and the
phrase which the senator criticises was in
serted for the purpose Of avoiding, as far
as the nature Of the case would admit, that
feeling of distrust, If it prevails anywhere,
/ do not understand in the least that it
applies to my friends state because j
know the high character of his judge.
