ONE Of the Harrisonized editlrs,
Charles Emory Smith, Of the Philadel
phla Press. is out in an interview. No
body doubts the ability Of Mr.. Smith, he
has demonstrated his worth as a news
paper man. But Il is unfort innate that
Mr. Smith was one OF the many editors
who took Office under President Harrison
at the time when political service was
the price Of office. Sir Francis Bacon
may have been a courtier from noble and
uusel6sh impulses BE may have been
cordial and honest supporter Of the
Crown and consistent and honorable
advocate Of the prerogative OF the
Queen, but he has been treated with In
fanny by many historians. while his
fame has brought out turgid
defenses from others. We do
not presume to intimate that Mr.
Smith needs defense. But the fact
is he was one Of the many editors who
created one Of the scandals Of the Har.
rison administration. Hence when be ap.
pears in an interview admitting that the
sherman bill should be repealed; saying
that the so called Force bill was pc
litical mistake and said so to its author
in the beginning of 1907 who says that
Mckinleyism, "a policy Of reasonable
protection to legitimate industries with
out shielding trusts and monopolies a
will become popular again" and
that Notwithstanding these admissions
and confessions General Harrison is still
the great American Moses and will ex-
hibit his leadership and be 'still great
force in his party, we cannot do other
wise than remember Sir Francis Bacon'i
career and recall the fact that Mr.. Smitl
was one Of the Han risonized editors.

Old Lightning belonged to an ostrich
farm at San Diego and was magnificent
bird. He acquired his name from the rapid
ity with which he could pluck a lighted
cigar or pipe from a visitors mouth or re-
move his watch or chain or any ornament
he could discover. The noiseless manner in
which lac could steal up behind one and
then nip some personal property was re-
markable. He was a natural born thief.
Once he snatohed all the flowers off young
ladys hat. At another time he attempted
TO swallow diamond earring, but as it
was fast in its owners ear he could not
manage it,
Old Lightning's greatest feat was swal-
lowing a lighted meerschaum pipe which
he snatched from visitors mouth. The
keeper had seen him and caught him around
the neck, and the pipe was exhumed, the
tobacco still burning.-Detroit Free Press.

Many country people in Italy, says a
traveller, foretell'the weather by means Of a
leech in an open mouthed bottle partly
filled with water The water must be
changed once a week and a spoonful Of
blood poured in it about as often. When
the weather is good, the leech will remain
coiled up at the bottom Of the bottle.
Whenever rain is near at hand, it will creep
up TO the top and stay there until the
weather is settled again. If wind is inn
minent, it will be very restless and dart
about in the water as though in pain,
while before thunderstorm it viii appear
TO be in commissions. IL is so generally
trusted that at haying time and other sea
sons when fine weather is important the
leech is one Of the most useful members of
the household.

OFFICERS OF THE HOUSE.
Much Interest Was Taken in Their selec-

Few Contests.

Much Interest Was Taken in Their selec-
tion in Caucus on Saturday Night-Bnt
Few Contests.
WASHINGTON, Aug. The caucus Of
Democratic members in the hall of the
House of Representatives on Saturday
night nominated the following for officers
of the House:
For spsaker-Charles F. Crisp, of
Georgia
For Clerk-James Kerr, of Pennsyl-
vania.
For sergeaut-at- Arms-Herman W.
Snow, of Illinois.
For DOorkeeper-A. B. Hurt, of Ten
lessee.
For acknowledgement Dalton. of
Indiana.
For Cbaplain-Rev. S. w Haddaway,
Of Maryland.
There was comparatively little inter
est excited by the caucus, for the reason
that by the time it was called together
there were but two contests in sight.
There had not been any question about
the reelection of Speaker Crisp. Clerk
Kerr and Postmaster Dalton, and late in
the afternoon the fight for the door
keepership, which had promised to be
the most stubbornly contested one be-
fore the caucus, was settled by the with
drawal of e b Smith. Of Texas, leaving
Mr. Hurt, of Tennessee, the only man ina
the field, and assuring him of the unani-
nous nomination.
This state Of affairs was brought about
by the failure of the New York delega
tion TO endorse ex Doorkeeper Turner for
re election. A. majority OF the New
York delegation wanted TO vote for Mr.
Hurt and as that gentleman had made
large gains In the South, Mr.. Smith
who had promised some days ago that If
Mr.. Hurt got more support from the
South than he had be would withdraw,
got out Of the race. This left nothing
for the caucus to ballot over but the
offices Of sergeant-at arms aud chaplain.
Though there was coup aratively little
to caucus about the attendance OF mem
bers was very large, and long before
o'clock n airy every Democratic mem
b'r in the city was at the Capitol The
floor Of the House presented an animated
scene. Old members greeted each other
heartily, and the new men were intro
duced by the veterans from their
respective states The friends of the
several candidates for sergeant at arms
and chaplain were still hard at work,
and every member who was not known
10 have decided how he would vote was

ment not demanded by any triumph, Mr..
Reed began one Of his characteristic
speeches
Mr.. Reed is a ponderously funny man.
He deals out craftsmanship on the sugar
coated, small dose, suitable for babes
plan. He seems to feel that he is speak.
ing to mental infants, not to strong
minded men.
-Four months ago, he said, they had
left Congress and returned to their
homes, with the country in prosperous
condition. All the mills were running,
the spindles playing, furnaces roaring,
labor employed everywhere and the
people happy"
Now, he continued. I'VE are called
back to find an extraordinary business de-
preston, distrust in all circles, and a
general Generalization Of the finances Of
the country,a condition, of course, precipi.
tated by Democratic failure TO legislate.
In this emergency the Democrats call
upon the Republicans TO lay aside all
craftsmanship, forget anything that has
been done in the past and join with the
Democrats TO get them out Of their
present trouble"
or course, no rep.y can be made to
such inefIable twaddle It is peanut
politics It is like an old woman's
seolding, illogical; and hence, unanswer
able.
1t Is pitiful, too, but not so much as a
picture Of the state of the country, as Of
the condition Of mind into which the leader
Of party, that once boasted Of its in
telligence and morality, has fallen.
When Mr.. Reed speaks thus, at the
opening of a Congress called to repair
grave evils by the repeal of laws passed
as Temporary expedlents, it is another
evidence that the Republican party is
dead at the top.
Now, according to partisan and peanut
politics, the Democrats do not ask
Leader Reed and the silly sheep who are
following him to forget anything" and
join with them in repeating the leglsla
tion enacted for selfish and unworthy
ends. That would be too much like
craftsmanship.
Mr.. Reeds words show that he could
not do that; and the applause proves
that the sheep do not wish to follow him
in green pastures where sweet waters
flow.
Those Democrats who are only seeking
partisan ends, prefer that Mr. Reed and
his sheep should do as they did in the
recent Congress. They should set their
faces eq ually against sense and justice
in trying to bride, or cajole. or humb g
the different classes Of the country while
they give the Democrats the chance Of
appealing 10 the common-sense of the
people. The result will be always the
same that the elections Of 1890 and 1896
brought. The Democrats are perfectly
willing, from selfish motives, to hav,

Congress to lay taxes 50 as to produce
