about ten knots in mid-ocean when a commo-

appeared to be great iippers, was to be seen ris
Ing and falling. Capt Cameron steered direct
FOR the stranger, On approaching close
the commotion was found to bs
caused by whale, over thirty feet long, hight
ing with a thresher shark. The latter appar-
emily was having the best OF the combat, as the
whale kept on the surface of the water com.
paratively quiet, while the shark ever and anon
threw itself out of the water and brought its
tail down with terrific blow upon the whale.
The Ovalau was so close 10 the animals, which
were too much occupied to heed the vessel, that
either could have been touched with a pole
The captain could not stop his ship long enough

The Mon for the Hour.

In the midst of all the republican booms
that have sprung into existence lately there
is one that has not received proper atten-
ton and encouragement. The boom of
Thomas b. Reed, Of Maine. ex-speaker Of
the House Of Representatives, is referred TO-
Mr.. Reed. ii is said, has been in consuta-
ton with various leaders Of his party In
regard to his nomination, but IL any plan
to that end has been formulated nobody
outside Of the ex-speaker's advisers knows
OF IL. 1t Is further said that he is willing
to go on the ticket, in either first or second
place, with Maj. William Mckinley, of Ohio,
as the other man.
There is q ticket for repubIicansi Reed
and Mckinley. or Mckinley and Reed-it
doesn't matter much which way it is turned.
These two men represent the true Repub-
lican party, and all the vitality there is in it.
They are the living embodiments of the
principles OF what is now called the Repub-
lican party-an organization that has out
lived its usefulness. They stand for force
bills, bayonets at the polls, protection to
monopolists who enrich themselves at the
expense of the people, tyranny over minori-
penditures by thousand dollar congresses,
the perversion of federal patronage for
partisan purposeJ, the perpetuation of sec
tionalism, and all other like tenets OF the
republican faith ''too numerous to mem
tion.n
Reed and Mckinley are radical in their
partisanship. They do nothing by halves.
They are the strongest men in their party
ranks to-day, and, as such. deserve to lead
the hosts and enjoy the profits and per
quisites. With them at the head, there
would be no need of promulgatfng a party
platform at Minneapolis; they would be
platform within themselves, and there
would be no installing the issue Every
body would understand at once the nature
of the fight. and no state would be long in
| the doubtful" column.
IL the Republican party wishes to make q
frank and open fight for its principles, Reed
sud Mckinley are the men to put forward.
Has the Republican party the courage to
make them its standard bearers!

THE intelligence and reliability of
the Capital is again illustrated in
the following:
AT the Sallna convention the Democrats Of
Kansas adopted a resolution against free coin
age at the present ratio, and endorsed ''gold
bug" Cleveland for president We may now
hope to see the Democratic papers Of Kansas
stop abusing the Republican party for Its sound
money principles.
The inconsistency of the Kansas
Democrats appears in the fact that
they resolved IN favor of free Silver,
and then instructed their delegates to
Chicago to support for president a
man who is an svowed enemy of free
silver. AS the Kansas Democrat OBJ
serves, as well might they have re-
solved for free trade and endorsed
Mckinley. Readers Of the Capital
are usually safe in accepting as truth
the exact opposite of its statements.

SINGLE TAKERS PLEASE LET UP.

A few weeks ago Geo. 9. Ward, of
Kansas City, had an article in The
ADVOCATE in which he called in ques-
tion some of the favorite doctrines of
the advocates of the single tax, to
which Mr.. Wakefield replied in the
next issue. That was all right. The
question is legitimate one for dis
cussion and we have been glad to
give it q reasonable amount of space.
We do not object to continuance Of
the discussion provided an able writer
on each side of the question can be
permitted Ia, pursue it. Since those
articles appeared, however, we have
been literally buried under an ava
lsnche Of single tax literature. 1t
comes from every state and territory
from Maine to California, from Alas
ks 10 thesouthern point of Florida,
and if there is single tax advocate
that we have not received a commu-
nication from he must be somewhere
outside the boundaries of civilization.
Weadvise the single tax advocates to
put up national ticket at once. We
have heard from enough Of them al
ready to elect a president. The most
gratifying feature of this affair is in
it's demonstration of the value of THE
ADVOCATE as an advertising medium.
