AN APT ATTITUDE.
Mr.. Moore Gives Reasons for
His Change.
COULDN'T SWALLOW TARIFF TAKES,

w. "A. Meese Another Ex-City Attorney, and
Gustave Swensson, Justice of the Peace
of Moline, Also Fail Into Line-A Politi-
cal Sensation in the Proud City-An Inter-
view With Mr.. Moore.
In accordance with the report current
yesterday in regard to the change of
views expressed by Elk City Attorney w
p. Moore, of Moline, the gentleman was
seen by an ARGUS reporter and ques-
toned concerning the little matter which
has fairly taken the breath away from a
good many republicans. for the simple
reason that it is getting pretty close TO
home and is altogether different from the
many similar cases that are daily being
chronicled by the press. In answer to an
inquiry from the reporter as to the corr
rectness of the report, MIR. Moore replied
that it was true.
Isn't this rather suddenf" was asked.
'Well. no not exactly" he replied. Il
have been thinking over the matter for a
long time. and finally concluded that the
republican party is not the party fer the
people.
"What has been instrumental in bring
ing about the charge. in your opinionf'
Mainly the tariff ISSUE" replied Mr..
Moore. while a protective tariff as it
is called, may have some very good fea-
lures, do not believe that it is what we
need in this country. l do not wish to

am not, but 1 cannot see where the
woTkipgmen of the country can possibly
derive the benefit claimed from a high
protective policy"
How about the state ticketP' was
asked
II cannot consistently do otherwise
thsn support the ticket" he answered.
1t is q matter of principle, and as my
opinions are in accordance with the prin
ciples of the democratic platform, nat.
urallv will vote that way.
Mr.. Moore is among the foremost menu

and feels convinced that he hiss arrived

A family on Staten Island has dog that
seems to show distinct reasoning faculty.
The dog had long been accustomed to take
a morning walk with member of the
family, but was not permitted to accom-
pany his friend to church. The animal
soon seemed to understand that one day in
seven he must remain at home, and the
conclusion was that he could count. On
Sunday morning, however, the dog sur
prised every one by joining the family on
the way to church. The conclusion was
that he had forgotten until it was called
to mind that the church bell had not rung
that morning. The dog evidently asso-
ciated the sound of the bell with the fact
that he was not to accompany his compan-
ions usual, and when the bell did not
sound he saw no reason for emitting his
usual walk.-New York Sun.

THE

tbs thin-skinned, shallow-pated ma
jority in the Legislature. which is pos
ing as reformers and economists, contin-
. ues to make roaring, ring tailed, bloom
ing ass of itself. 1t spent day fulmina-
ting thunderbolts against the Louisville
Times and its helpless correspondent,
because the paper compared the men
who voted for the Carroll amendment to
tax private corporations like other busi-
ness enterprises, with those who did not,
and showed the latter up in their true
light. Alter great deal of talk, in which
newspapers were denounced for every
thing in sight, and charged with being
the tools of corporations, a committee to
investigate the matter was appointed,
which is to say whether the Times will
be in future denied the privileges here
tofore accorded. This action shows that
the majority in the House is composed
OF even smaller men than was supposed
and settles the belief that nothing good
can come out OF such an aggregation of
mediocre mutton-heads.

THE report OF the auditor to the Legs
lature shows that the incidental expens-
es OF the public officers at Frankfort for
the two years ending March We're $780,
909.55. Over $4,000 OF this WAS for the
executive mansion and goes TO show that
for once Tom Petit is right in wanting
to increase the governors salary and let
him pay his own expenses. The whole
thing ought to be looked into and i'm
proved. The travelling expenses OF some
OF the officers, who have heretofore and
may now ride on free passes, are about
as much as their salaries.
