grandest in its peculiar field of endeavor
Df any which have adorned modern
lines, has become only memory. The

Mrs. Harrison'S Condition One
Which May End in Death
at Any Time.
The Patient Does No Possess the
COnsumptive's CheerfulneSs
and Hopefulness.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Aside from the
usual changes characteristic in con-
sumption cases, there has been no par
tleular alteration in the condition of
Mrs. Harrison since she was brought to
Washington from Loon Lake about
two weeks ago. Although critically
i'll and in condition where
a new complication might speedily
prove fatal, her case is not absolutely
hopeless, and instances are known
where persons in a similarly extremely
dangerous condition have so far recov-
cred as to enjoy fair health for years.
Such instances are rare, however. The
presidents family and friends cling to
the hope that Mrs. HarriSon'S case may
prove one of the exceptions to the rule.
The great danger to be feared is the
reproduction of fluid in the chest cavity,
which might gather in twenty-four
hours and prove fatal, especially if the
patient could not bear the operation of
aspirating. Mrs. Harrison's right lung
is entirely consolidated, so that she has
no use of it whatever. The left lung
is not involved. Although anxious for
prolonged life, the patient does not eX-
hibit that cheerfulnesS and hopefulnesS
that is usually so apparent in the case
of consumptives. This is due to the ex-
treme nervous exhaustion from which
she suffers.
Ever since the commencement of her
illness she has been affected with ex-
IRENE nervous prostratiOn, and this has
doubtless had very much to do with Der
present condition. This extreme pros
tratiOn has been one great cause which
has operated against her rallying. Her
mind is perfectly clear. and she takes
certain amount of nourishment
each day. 1t consists principally of raw
eggs in little wine and pepsiu. 1t is
not from desire 70 eat however, that
she takes the nourishment, but merely
from a sense of duty and as medicine.
Her coughing spells are not violent. and
don't worry the invalid very much ex-
cept on rare occasions. Sleep during
the night comes to her in periods of
from one TO two hours at time, and
this without the aid of Opiates. She has
very fair nights, being restless only at
times

EXIT TOMMY WATSON

So much tor TOMMY WATSON. The
Georgia blatherskite has been turned
down. The constituency which in a fit
OF mental alteration gave him their Gre
Hentials as representative in congress
have speedily recovered from the strange
insanity. They have fittingly repuked
ToMMY's presumption in building sec
Dnd-term hopes on belief in their con-
tinued mental inefficiency. They have
given 1900 majority and over for the
Democratic state ticket, and have thus
evidenced that at their request. to be
preferred at the congressional election
of next month, TOMMY will shortly
abide in comparatively innocuous retire
ment.
The career of this fellow WATSON ex-
emplifies one of the unfortunate phases
of popular government. Beng acct
dentally elevated to the dignity of a
national legislator he was constrained
TO make conspicuous exhibition of his
unfitnesS for the role. In the abridged
lexicon of such as he there is 10 such
word as dignity. He forced himself
extensively upon public notice by his
utter lack Of discretion in the house.
and he obtained for himself and his
sensational antics wide notoriety.
Naturally such not0riety could be ONLY
ephemeral. MIR. WATSON has had his
little, brief day. and now makes his
exit. The political fool killer is waiting
10 claim his own. So much for TOMMY.

LET US HAVE A CHANGE.

When an honest man is urged to exert
his influence to rebuke such crimes as
these he is not urged to desert his
party. The crowd which run things at
the capitol are not Republicans except
in name. They are out for no princi-
Piles. They are simply laboring to swell
their own bank accounts. A citizen
does not prove false to his political
faith when he votes against them. He
is helping his party rather than hurting
it. He is cooperating in its publication,
and if it is purified it will he thousand
times better and stronger than it has
ever been before. Dishonesty in politics
is an assault OH our national institu-
tions, and whoever loves his country
should do what he can TO put a stop
to it.
1t is time for housekeeping and over
hauling ID the affairs of our state gov
eminent. And housekeeping and over
hauling are impossible without a change
of party control. Let us have Dsm-

HOUsECLEANING.

All decent men and women believe
that 1t is good thing to have house
cleaning every now and then. TO be
Sire, it causes some tronble. Ii one
consulted his comfort alone 1t might
seem better to leave the furniture and
carpets year after year just as they are.
Changes Of any kind are upsetting, and
there is a great deal of qualification in
living amid surroundings to which one
has become attached by long assOeia-
tons. But housekeeping pays, never
theless. Rents and holes which might
otherwise have passed unnoticed until
they were beyond repair are detected
by it in time. The dingy spots are
frightened and stains washed out.
There is really no pleasure like the
pleasure of cleanliness, and ali decent
men and women, however lazy they
may be, believe in it.
All sensible employers believe also in
overhauling things occasionally in shop
or office. Of course it would be much
more convenient to let business run
along withoutvery close inspection. But
bookkeepers and cashiers are human,
may be to start with, if they are quite
sure that no investigation is likely to be
made, they may yield after while to
the opportunities for dishonesty their
positions afford. So workingmen will
grow careless if the boss never looks
over the jobs, and the clerk who thinks
there is no chance of his being dis
charged, no matter what he does. will
soon begin to get down late in the
morning, he neglected. of his duties,
and, perhaps, lnsolent to customers. 1t
would be very we'll if one could just
open an establishment. buy his stock,
engage his employees. and then 90 fish
ing with complete confidence that his
affairs would take care of themselves.
But this cannot be done. Bankruptcy
would quickly overtake the merchant
or mechanic who tried to follow such a
course. 1t is necessary to be Oh hand
at ali hours to check up accounts, to
watch employees. to reward the faithful,
to cut off the drones. All sensible EN-
ployerS understand that profits can be
made only by constant vigilance.

THE BATTLE OF COFFEY.
WILLIE

''Coffeyville" is not an impressive or
euphonlc name. There is nothing STIR
ring or warlike in it. 1t has an unro
mantle, culinary sound that serves all
most as al anti-climaX to the tale of
sanguinary combat with which il must
now be associated. If liquid appeIIa-
ton is Indispensable to this Kansas COM
munity the GLOBE would suggest
'Bloodville' as decidedly more appro-
pirate than "Coffeyvile."
The battle OF Coffeyviile, fought last
wednesday between the opposing forces
of law and brigandage, was the blood
lest ever fought on American soil in
proportion to the number engaged. OF
the six free-booters, four were shot
dead i'll their tracks and a fifth NOR
tally wounded; but they left an even
balance Oh the books of the CoffevyilIa
undertaken by dropping five members
of the marshal's posse, the marshal INN
self included. The DALTON gangu was
wiped out at the cost CT life for life.
1t was big price, but it was paid I'M
tiinchingly by the hardy citizens of Cof-
feyville. The coroner rendered an ON
nibus verdict. the substance whereof
was grim admission that the gang had
bucked the wrong tiger when they
tackled Coffeyyille; and so the curtain
is rung down on a scene calculated to
impart the greenish hue OF envy to the
ghost of JESSE JAMES.

ENDED IN SUICIDE.
A Prominent Philadelphia Spec
ulates in Stocks With Funds
of the Firm.
He Could Not Stand the Disgrace,
and Took His Own
Life.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Civilian M.
Runk, of the extensive dry goods firm
of Darlington, Runk q Co., committed
suicide this morning at his country
home at st. David's. near this city. 1t
is developed that Mr.. Runk
had been for some time during
Mr.. Darlington's absence dealing in
stocks. 1t appears that Runk, whose
own personal estate is represented to be
very handsome one. did not make
these ventures with his own funds, but,
aided by the absence of Mr.. Darlington.
he employed the money Of the firm of
Darlington IL Runk TO all aggregate of
about $4,000.
Upon Mr.. Darlington'S return he
made inquiries as to the course of basi-
ness while he was abroad, and was in
formed by MIR. Runk that certain bills
which had accumulated in the interval,
aggregating the total stated above, had
been paid. When the discovery was
made yesterday that such was not
the case, Mr.. Runk went direct to his
home at st. David's. Later in the
evening, he wrote two letters and left
them upon his library table, addressed
to Mrs. Runk and to Mr.. Darlington,
the act. The death of Mr. Runk may
prove to be heavy loss. He was di-
rector of the Penn Mutual company, of
this city, and at the time of his death
carried an insurance of 1925. 900 upon his
life.
Mr.. Runk was prominent in the Sun
day School association of the diocese of
Pennsylvania. being one of the original
members, and member of the board
of managers Of the American Church
Sunday School institute, and of
the joint diocesan committee
of Sunday school lessons for
the Episcopal church. who. in
annual session i'll New York,
compile the lessons for the Use OF the
church throughout the United States
AS member of the Brotherhood of st.
Andrew he exhibited great activity in
furthering the growth of the society.
He was also member OF the Southwest
cOnvocation and of the last diocesan
convention. and Tuesday was to have
gone to Baltimore to represent the Sun
day schools of this diocese at the Amer
lean Church Sunday School Triennial
institute.

FOR PERSONAL PROFIT.

We might as we'll live under an abso-
lutte monarchy where the rule is handed
down from father to son as live i'll Re-
publican Minnesota. And all the sins
which spring into noXious vitality I'M
der monarchy are rampant at the cap
itol. The opportunities opened by pub
lie administrator have for years been
divided by carefully adjusted deals
among few men. Laws have been
enacted not to benefit the masses, but
to enrich those in authority. The work
of the lobbyist has been made very
simple, because when he has influenced
half-scOre of bosses he has done all
that is necessary to accomplish his
purpose. The opinions Of the people
are defied. and instead of their inter
estS being consulted, they are forced to
pay tribute. which goes into their kings
pockets. Everybody who knows the
inside workings of our local political
machine, knows that ali this is true
The climax has been reached in the
operations of the wheat ring which af-
fords good example of how things are
operated. The legislatures have been
prevented from passing proper laws for
the protection of the farmers, and the
executive officers have failed to enforce
the laws which do exist. BY these de-
vices the agricultural classes have for
many years been Systematically robbed
by the elevator companies and the mill
ers. The profits of these industries
have thus been made enormous, and
these properties sold out because of
these enormous profits at figures almost
beyond belief to syndicate of English
capitalists. Had the authorities been
OH the farmers side and saved them
from robbery, this deal could never
have been conSummated. AS things
have been manipulated, however, gil
gantic fortunes have been accumulated
by the conspiratorS through the direct
help of the powers that be, and the

who have assisted in the wicked

Ninth Ward.

There was only one ticket in the field
Cor delegates to the county convention
from the Ninth ward, but there were
three sets of delegates running for the
legislative convention. The rival can
dldateS were Karl Simmon, j. III. DAILY
and Harvey Z. Hall. The fight was
rather bitter at times. and several fisti-
cuff ScrimageS were narrowly averted.
Some of the partisans had libated gen
erously, and were in hilarious If not
outright quarrelsome state before the
count was completed. This was espe-
clally the case at the corner of Jackson
and sycamore streets, where the feeling
ran high. One lnebriated supporter of
one OF the aSplrantS was charged with
peddllng Scab tickets. He took his dose
lneekly, and after his accuser had left
the polls, he began boasting of how he
had driven the other fellow away from
the polls" All this created a deal of
amusement. Iii some instances the po-
lice found it necessary to interfere to
preserve the peace.
The count showed Simmon, the ex-
Seventh street druggist, far in the lead,
namely: Summon, 202; DAILY, 103, and
Hall, 81. The delegates are:

A RINGS RULE,

The state government of Minnesota is
like an old house which has never been
cleanSed, and like a business concern
whose affairs have never been over
hauled. Ever since the state has eX-
listed the Republican party has con-
trolled its every department. All the
executive Offices have always been
filled by Republicans, term after term,
and majority in each successive legis-
lature has been of this political faith.
Even II no evidences of rOttenneSS and
abuse showed themselves on the sur
face, would it be safe to allow this con-
dltion to continue indefinitely without
some inquiry as to whether all is we'll :?
Not bit more so than it would be to let
season after season go by without
housekeeping, OF for the merchant to
never balance his ledger. Even if we
should admit that Republican politicians
are above the level of ordinary human
Ity III character, the temptations to
which they have been exposed are so
great that an Investigation into what
they have been doing would seem to be
the part of wisdom.
But there are more urgent reasons for
an investigation than these general
principles suggest. The Republican
party has been SO long in power in Min
nesOta that it has come to feel it will
never be dispossessed. This has made
it careless OF its obligations to the peo-
pie. selfish and corrupt. 1t has ceased
to exist after the st vie of the American
political organizations, and has becom e
divided into two sections. One section
at every election does the voting, and
the other section holds the Offices. The
section which holds the offices is small
ring which uses its position at the head
for the personal advantage Of its MEM
bers. A haif-dozen leaders get together
in st. Pauteve two years and deci de
who shall be governor. who secretary
of state. who attorney general. who
United States senator. Then they call a
convention and put through their slate
to be balotad for at the polls. In this
way no one ever secures an Office who
is not friendly or closely related to his
predecessor. and Offices have developed
into a species of personal property, the
title to which is vested in a close eorpo-
ration of bosses.
