The Campaign m the Tenth

The democrats of the Tenth district have
candidate for congress in whose dsmoc-
racy they have the utmost confidence, and
for whose ability they have the greatest
respect. They viii rally around him, there
fore, with enthusiasm and will spare no
effort to elect him.
The Peoples party, will, Of course, nomi-
nate Congressman Watson. Mr.. Watson
will have difficult task to explain why it
was that having been elected as a democrat
he left the Democratic party and attached
himself to the Peoples party. He may say
that he was convinced that q majority of
his constituents went out Of the Democratic
party and into the Peoples party after his
satisfactory. He had no right to abandon
his party and at the same time hold on
to bis office on the assumption
that majority Of his constituents had
adopted political views not In harmony with
those OF the Democratic party. He had
right, Of course, to Join the Peoples party,
but when he Transferred bis allegiance TO
that parry he ought TO have resigned and
asked the Peoples party to re-elect him.
When he meets Mr.. j. C. G. Black, the
democratic nominee, on the stump he will
not find it easy to explain his conduct in
this matter satisfactorily. The Democratic
party confided great trust 70 him. Did
he regard it as sacred trustl Did he re-
main faithful to 49, His course in Wash
ington furnishes the answer TO those Ques-
tlons.
MIR. Black has the confidence Of the demo-
Gratis Of the Tenth district in a marked de-
gree. He Is foreeful speaker and an elo-
quent champion Of democratic principles.
II he does not convince the people of the
Tenth district that it is to their interest to
uphold the Democratic party and consign
Mr.. Watson 30 political oblivion it will be
because they will not listen.

that during the earlier part of his journalistic
career he found it almost impossible to lay
aside any money, Notwithstanding the fact that
he was then single man and earned a first
class salary. Try as he would the money he
received on Saturday for his weeks work
would slip away from him, and when Monday
came around the remained nothing for him to
do but to strike the cashier. Finally
the cashier became tired of being
hit so early in the week. and the reporter was
warned that he would have to give it up. II

Wolcott,s Wild Driva.

The New York Sun of last Sunday printed an
appreciative article upon the subject OF Sena-
tor Edward o. Wolcott's career, his talents and
bis idiosyncrases, says Eugene Field in the
Chicago NeLes Curiously enough, however, 1t
neglected to give one incident which fairly illus
trates, we think, the gentleman's fearlessness
IL seems that upon an occasion some years ago
friend took Wolcott for a drive in the suburbs
OF Leadville, and Wolcott expressed a suspicion
that the horses were perhaps too frisky to be
trustworthy. Thereupon the friend set about
bantering and badgering Wolcott upon his ex-
cessive tlmidity. Wolcott bore this badinage
patiently till presently they began to descend
one OF those steep almost precipitous inclines
in which Colorado roads ABOUND.

colt.
Certainly" answered the other, suspecting
no evil.
But no sooner had wolcott got the reins than
he turned to his companion and said: You
have been shaming me for my timidity. My
turn has come now. Well see who squeals
first"
With that he flung the reins out over the
horses backs and began plying the whip furi-
ously. The frightened horses dashed down the
hill, swinging the buggy around curves and
against powders in such wise as to threaten Its
demolition. Wolcott continued to ply the whip
and TO shout at the maddened brutes. His
friend chung white and trembling to his seat II

the buggy was overturned, the horse broke
away and Wolcott and his friend wore left in q
confused heap with a broken arm, q sprained
ankle and dozen body cuts and bruises be-

Trying to Cover Up Their Tracks.


The republican papers are trying to
create the impression that the large amount
OF appropriations made by this congress Is
due TO extravagance and not 70 the legisla-
ton of the last congress. The New York
Tribune says: GAS usual after passing the
most extravagant river and harbor bill ever
proposed, and other measures scarcely more
excusable, democratic managers are clamor-
ing for rigid economy in appropriations
for the absolute necessities OF the govern
menT.'n
1t is remarkable that a newspaper Of the
standing OF the Tribune should make q
statement so misleading. Does it not know
that the republicans Of the last congress- en-
acted laws which call for at least an increase
Of S60,000,0 900 in the appropriations that
must be made by this congressl IL passed
the dependent pension bill, for one thing,
and that makes an increase In the pension
burden this year of at least $50, 000, 900,
and the Mckinley bill, which requires &c.
100000 for sugar bounties. It'll unneces-
sary to call attention to other items.
1t may be asked why this congress hasn't
repealed those laws of the Last congress
which 30 greatly increases the expenses OF
the government 1t is impossible 70 repeal
them as long as the Hsaate is controlled by
republiesnG and republican is President.
While those laws exist the appropriations
which they call for must be made.
The river and harbor bill Is not an
extravagant one. 1t contains departure
in the direction OF reform. A number of
the most important works are placed on the
contract basis, and they will cost the
government a great deal less than IL the old
system Of making appropriations had been
continued for them. As much can be
accomplished with the 100000 which
Savannah gets for her harbor improvement
as could have been accomplished with
81. 0OO. 900, and perhaps S., 600, 900, obtained
in the way she has been getting appropria-
tions. While the amount appropriated by
the river and hsrbor bill, therefore, appears
! to be large it is really q bill that will save
money for the governments.
But the bill does not carry anywhere near
the amount it would have carried had the
republican Senate been permitted TO have
its way. Two items calling for very large
amounts, which were placed in the bill by
the Senate, were struck out by the House,
even after the Senate had decided In a
lengthy conference that they should remain
in the bill. The democrats have steadily
insisted on economy 10 the appropriations
throughout the present session Of congress,
and they have had TO struggle against bad
republican legislation and the opposition OF
the republican,

tinusd, with a crowded car, when stylishly
dressed young lady got aboard. She looked

arose from his seat and said: Miss, take my
scat. don't look as well as these ere gentle
mep (nodding at several mem, but I've diskiv-
cred that I've got mere politeness.' The young
lady sat down without thanking the old fellow,
and, slyly CHANGING at a lady acquaintance
seated near, said in an undertone but louder
than she intended: How do you like my gallant
country Hoosiers Don't you think he
would cut quite figure In a dime museum!
The old fellow gave no indication that he heard
the remark, though it created considerable
merriment among the passengers he directly
turned around, however, and remarked to the
young lady: Miss. believe left my pocket
book thar on that seat. Will you please get up

the old fellow, with a very compacent air
